FLEET TO VISIT JAPAN

Now that Japan has officially invit-
ed the American fleet to visit a port
of the Flowery Kingdom, the jingos
will have to take back seat. 1t
shows that the powers that rule in
Japan are anxious to show courtesy
20 the United States and allay any
seeming tension.
1t is to be remembered that Japan
vas under no obligation to invite the
American fleet. In fact, it was
said that the United States would
have preferred not to have received
the invitation, for the reason that the
Japanese government will be on a
great strain to prevent some irrespon-
sible citizen from committing some act
either towards the ships or the men
when they come ashore, that would
be calculated to intensity the feeling
which exists among limited class in
both countries.
The cruise of the fleet has already
lone much good and seems destined
to do a great deal more before the
long voyage is finished. The whole
world is looking on in admiration.
The American way of doing things
will take on new and larger mean
ing among the nations. Not the least
Of the good accomplished will be the
evidences of mutual good will to be
exchanged between America and ia
pan.

Americas, Ga, March 22nd, 1905.
NEW CENSUS FOR AMERICUS

In deciding to have a census of
Americas taken, the City Council has
taken a step which will meet with
general approval The sum of 500
was set apart for this purpose, at
least two propositions being before
at that figure. The contract, as fin
ally awarded, does not seem to make
provision for an official Supervision
over the taking of the census, which
should of course be thorough.
The object of the taking of the
census at this time is to get every
resident of Americas counted.
1t is proposed to have the enumera-
ton completed by May l which will
be in time to secure a revision of the
old figures in the reports of the mer-
camille agencies to be issued July 1.
Ever since the Federal census was
issued the figures for Americas have
been less than 5000 despite the
well known fact that the city in the
)
towards the $4,000 mark.
AS the next Federal census would
not be ready for use for nearly three
years, the enumeration provided fox
the City Council will yield returns
for that period. At no time in the
past has the need of letting the world
know the city's size been so impera-
tive as now The building of the
new street railway alone has caused
hundreds of people all over the
United States to thumb the mercan-
tile reports, and doubtless many have
been disappointed at the figures Civ
en-.
AS an advertisement of the city
we believe it would have been hard
to invest a hundred dollars to such
advantage as in taking a count of the
city's real population. Let it be TAX
en- with thOroughness.

Features of Panic.
macon News.)

This panic was peculiar in that it
was not based on any natural mis-
fortune to the country. There was
no crop failure, in any part of the
land, there was no lack of demand for
manufactured articles. The only fail
ure was the money crop and that was
manipulated as a chastisement for
Roosevelt and such states as were
really doing or seeking to put the
proper regulations and restriction on
the great and growing population.
Another peculiar feature of the panic
was the manner in which it struck,
where it was not aimed. Instead of
pinching the little fellow throughout
the country it landed squarely on the
big trust companies at New York,
disclosing a rottenness that shocked
the manipulators at the impeding dan
ger. They had to hustle to stop the
panic, they had created for political
effect, but could not do so until the
suicides and stealages had destroyed
confidence.
Some men may have forseen the
panic, but most business men had
not. The reason why the south am
west stood it was because they has
grain and cotton foundations.
