In our future wars are we likeIy
to arm the thousands of Fflipinos at
our disposal and put them in the field
against our enemies of the moment!
] One of the most important an
nouncements that have been made in
the British parliament for MANY 4
year past was the declaration of Colo.
NAL Secretary Joseph Chamberlain
that the English government will not
hesitate henceforth to employ in Eu.
rope or elsewhere her Indian and
African troops.
1t is an announcement of the most
profound interest to the United
States, Russia, France and Germany.

races subject to their rule.
Uncle Sam alone has some 5000,

Britain.
Curiously enough, the peace con-
ference at The Hague two years ago.
when the rules of war were subjected
to revision, carefully avoided any
reference to the matter-that is to
say i'll the shape of any steps toward
specific agreement by treaty to re-

and African troops in civilized war

Neither England, Russia, nor yet
France, was DESTROYS of binding itself

1t has until now been generality un-
ders-, cd, however, by these three
great powers that if native troops
were employed it would be only in
the last extremity, and this view has
been strengthened by the eXtraordi-
nary pains which the English govern
ment has taken to prevent the war
like Basuto tribes, who are under
British rule and most loyal to the
English flag, from taking part in the
war against the Beers.
In the war of 1870 the French at
one time brought a few regiments of
Turksos from Algeria. But so great
was the outcry raised, not only in
Germany and elsewhere in Europe,
but even in France against their en-
ploylnent that they were hastily
shipped back to Africa long before
the close of the war, although they
were magnificent fighters.

One Time Issued by Helena.
Butte, Jan. S.--A special from Hell
ena to the Miner says:
The National Exchange bank of
Providence, R. l., brought action in
the district court against the city of
Helena to recover 87,822.68, claimed
to be due on unpaid warrants issued
a number of years ago. The war
rants held by the plaintiff are drawn
on the general fund and were issued
in 1893, 1894 and 1895, for the salaries
of officers, policemen and other en-
ployes, as well as for other expenses.
Counsel for the plaintiff recently
made demand upon the city for pay
ment, but being refused the money,
the suit was brought.

THE PREACHERS IN POLITICS.

Just at this time, particularly, the pro-
minence in the political arena of sew
eral Georgia preachers is causing live
Iy discussion, many fair minded people
maintaining that this union of church
and state thus brought about by
these enthusiasts is calculated to re-
tard the work in which they were
originally engaged.
Upon this subject the Macon Tele-
graph reproduces an interview with
Bishop Gambler given in 1896, but what
! the bishop said then he will doubtless
say now regarding the preacher in
politics.
DIR. Gambler was in Atlanta at the
time. and Seab. Wright was the prohi-
popuIist candidate for governor. He
was asked if he would support the pro-
hi-pop ticket

tjonist, and have been all my life. /

sourHERN's RAILWAY TAXES.

Hon. Pope Brown, of the Railroad
Commission, according to a correspon
dent of the Augusta Chronicle, throws
light on the matter of railroad taxa
ton. It was brought into the cam
paign prominently and the idea prevails
that so far as the Southern Railway is
concerned the state gets tax only for
the roadbed, valued at SO, 600 per mile.
Commissioner Pope Brown says that
while Tennessee gets a tax on the
Southern on $27, 900 per mile, that in
cludes Ything-classed IN lump
as mileage.
But IN Georgia the system is entirely
different.
In Georgia we get tax on mileage,
value at $4,000 per mile, while the
depots, rolling stock, terminals and
other properties are assessed separate
ly. Concerning this, much misappre
hension exists, and many have been
led to believe tax on $40, 900 per mile
covered all that the Southern paid to
the state
Railroads, like some others, especial
Iy bondholders, do not like to give in
too much for taxation, but Oomptroll-
or General Wright has the matter in
charge, and he is an efficient officer
and whatever is best for the state, yet
equitable for railroads, he will bring
before the legislature in future, as he
has done in the past. Comptroller
General Wright would be glad if
special board was appointed toi have
in charge this problem, as he and the
railroads often clash.
This explanation would seem to an
swer fully and satisfactorily the charge
repeatedly made on the stump during
the gubernatorlal campaign, that the
Southern Railway did not return its
property in Georgia as fair valuation.

n Unconstitutional Appropriation.

An Unconstitutional Appropriation.
It has become go fashionable of late years
questionable appropriations Of the peo-
ple's money, and to run rough shot over
the constitution. it causes little more
than a passing comment. The latest
example of this kind is the voting by
congress. on the recommendation of the
president, of 100000 for the relief of
the Martinique sufferers, dependency
of France, with only eight votes against
it.
The Hon. John sharp Williams. of
this state, who was one of the eight
congressman to cast his vote against
this flagrantly unconstitutional appro-
priation, is being made the particular
target for attack by super-heated SEN
timentalists at home and abroad. In
our opinion Mr.. Williams did exactly
right, and just what he should have done
under his oath to support the constita-
ticn. And furthermore, we predict
that when he has hala hearing before
the people of his district he will make so
clear and strong the correctness of his
position, that the gushing sentimen-
talists and demagogues who have been
so swift to condemn him, will hasten to
seek cover and honor him for his tidel-
ity to his convictions of duty and for his
splendid courage in the face of over
whelming odds, as such man deserves
to be honored.
