JUSTICE AND MODERATION.
Plea for n Return TO sanity in

The people Of Georgia are preeminently

allegiance TO sanity and justice after a

the great seal of the State was the key
note Of her industrial and commercial
policy. and with this sentiment Georgia
led all the States Of the South in progress
and conservatism.
We have temporarily abdicated that
high and enviable station
With the new year comes an oppor-
tunity TO return TO sanity and reason.
Conservatism is not Incompatible with
progress and civic virtue. Our past rec
ord proves that
The new year should see the hammer.
the sledge, the plane. the trowel back in
the hands Of workingmen from whom

Differences in Policy.

From the New York Sun
The failure of The Hague Conference to
restrict ornaments has affected the Jap
anese cabinet and President Roosevelt
differently. On the day the American
battle-ship fleet sailed for the Pacific for
a frOlic or a fight it was announced from
Tokyo that the cabinet had decided TO re
duce expenditures on the army and navy
by $20,0oo,0o0 annually for six years Presi-
dent Roosevelt had previously urged a
large increase in expenditures for the
next fiscal year. 1t may be supposed that
the japanese decision was a coincidence.
Certainly it could not be regarded as an

AS / am to leave today for Albu-

erroneous statement appearing in
yesterdays Record. 1t was stated
that Mr. Johnson and the Ladies' Aid
Society had donated small windows
for the new church building. The fact
is that they donated the two large
front windows, and that it is not R.

The building committee has also

We expect to be worshiping in the
basement of the new building in De-

completed aad furnished, in three or
four months.
1t is gratifying to the members of
our con aggregation to hear the words
of admiration for the new building
expressed by people of extensive ira

be free, and just as free to one class
of people as to another. We desire to

where rich and poor, cultured and
unlearned, good and bad people alike
may come at any time and feel them
selves welcome. We desire them to
come, not for social reasons merely,
but to worship God and to forget the
cares and tolls and sins and SORROWS
of life as they rest in the presence

TO CONSOLIDATE CENTRAL
AMERICAN REDliRI

New York, Nov. 14.-On the eve
of the assembling of the Central Am
erican peace conference, Dr. Fernan-
do Sanchez, minister of Nicaraugua
to Mexico, who is in this city. made
public an official communication ad-
dressed to Ignacio Mariseal, minister
OF foreign affairs of Mexico, in which
he said: The government of Mica
raugua has given me instructions to
lay before you the firm resolve with
which it is desired to have Central
America by voluntary and pacific acts
of its governments converted into
one nation. President Gen Don Jose
Santos Selayo, who has ever been an
unwavering partisan of this patriotic
idea and one of the most persistent
fighters for its realization, is dispos-
ed, as he ever has been, 20 resign
with pleasure the office which he oc-
cupies in Nicaragua in favor of
whatever citizen may be elected by
the people as president of the Cen
trail American republic" Senor San
chez suggested that if the American
thinks well of the propo-
sitiol it shall have his communica-
ton sent to the governments of Guat-
emala, Salvador Honduras and Costa
Rica, so they may give their repre-
power to act thereon.

called out, "Oh, Tariff, hear u.s. One
reason they did not, may possibly
have been that they feared lest some
free trader Elijah might stand by and
mock them: Cry aloud; for he is a
god; either he is talking, or he is
pursuing, or he is in a journey, or
be awaked." But Baal was respecta-
BILE object of worship compared with
the tariff.
Of course, sensible Republicans
have never believed a thousandth part
of the nonsense about the tariff as
our sole hope and stay. They have
thought of it as a clever political dodge
to dilate on their party as the only
one that can make the nation pros
porous by means of protective taxes,
and have only hoped that their good
luck in avoiding panics would keep
on. The panic of 1898 was really their
panic, but they ran off and left it on
Cleveland doorstep. For some time
past, they have been praying that
the good times might not fail till af-
ter the next presidential election.
This shows how they have thought
of the whole thing as political. But
now their panic chickens have come
home to roost. Here we are in an
''off'' year; the little talk there is of
tariff reform comes more from republi
cans than from Democrats; no polit-
ical bugaboo can be alleged to be in
terfering with the benef1cent workings
of the high tariff, yet it is visibly
failing to do what it's champions have
vowed it always would do. The ad-
vance agent of prosperity has been
by the bill collector of ad-
versity. 7E!l
Whatever other effects the panic
may have, it has at least dealt.
death-blow to the tariff superstition.
Perhaps in no other way could we
have got rid of it. Hereafter, any man
who uses the argument that you must
not demand the abolition of the tar
iff outrages, since, if you do, you will
imperil prosperity, will be laughed
