THE MEXICAN SITUATION.


 plain to the Mexican ambassador at Washington that the United States will not follow England's example and recognize the Huer- ia government until Huerta and his administration make better showing of having established a stable government.
 The rebels against the Huerta government--they are now known as the ''constitutionlists," with reasonable claim to that designa- tion--took a considerable step toward success when they made themselves masters of the port of Matamoras. This is a blow to the prestige of the provisional government readily recognizable. Whatever may happen inland is of comparatively little impor- tance with this demonstration.
 The city of Matamoras is not a metropolis; it's population is about 10000; but it's position as port of entry for foreign trade, for the importation of arms and munitions of war, is controlling. Held by the Constitutionalists, nothing in the power of the Fed erals can prevent the avoidance of the neutrality laws to the ad- vantage of Carranza.
 One of the interesting phases of the situation is the fact that both the rebels and the Huerta forces appear to be well supplied with money and ammunition. These funds, it is suspected, are supplied by opposing interests that have more at stake than the success OF failure of any partic- ular individuals in the fight for leadership.
 The policy of the administra- tion at Washington in delaying recognition of Huerta is confirm- ed as prudent by the latest de- velopments. The United States government is still faced with the prospect of having a Mexican problem on it's hands, a problem that holds promise of greater trouble than the Cuban problem or the Philippine problem.
 Pueilism has inadvertently put itself tito the perilOus class.
 Literally speaking. the tariff bill is having the time of it's life in the Senate.

SIXTY THOUSAND VETERANS

Plans have been approved by the
War Department to prepare on the
battlefield of Gettysburg camp con-
tanning $4,000 tents for the $4,000 or
10000 survivors of the Union and
Confederate armies on the fiftieth an
niversary on July next For this event
Congress has appropriated $1500O0,
the state of Pennsylvania $250,O00, aud
other states will provide for trans
portation expenses
The first week in July, 1868, was
one of great results in the civil war
AS the tremendous struggle at Gettys-
burg ended Vicksburg surrendered
with a garrison of $4,000 men, re-
markable military coincidence and
climax. On November 10 of the same
year President Lincoln delivered his
brief but immortal speech at the ma
tional dedication of the field
Each army at Gettysburg had over
10000 seasoned soldiers, and in each
the killed and wounded alone num-
bered not far from 10000. If the
Union Army, instead of the Confeder
ates, had retreated from its position
the war would have gone forward in
the spirit shown throughout the four
years. Lincoln's address is the ex-
preston of that resolve and the pur-
pose back of it.
The country has been reunited and
has reached a leadership in the world
that more than realizes the future
predicted for it fifty years ago. The
country is glad that so many oil
soldiers survive to see the famous
field again, now a national military
park with the old flag perpetually fly.

BERNER A CANDIDATE.

Announcement has just been made
by Col Robert L. Berner, of Macon
that he will be a candidate for the
place of district attorney in the south
ern division of the United States dis
trict court for the state of Georgia un-
der the incoming Democratic admin
'istration.
Col. Berner is too well known as ]
lawyer and orator in Georgia to need
any introduction to the people of this
section of the state. He will seek the
appointment from the Democratic ad-
ministration which will take up the
direction of national affairs March tn
Fourth under the supervision of Pres
ident-elect Wilson, and his many
friends here wish that he may secure
the appointment.
The qualifications possessed by Col
onel Berner for the position he seeks
are many and ample. He is lawyer
of unusual ability and acumen, man
well known in the public affairs OF
Georgian and one who has been honored
with places of public trust which he
has filled acceptably In addition he
is an orator of distinction and a man
who would fill with effectiveness AMI
satisfaction the place of district az
torney.
For these ample reasons The Times
Recorder favors the appointment of Col
Berner to the position to which Ie
aspires. He is loyal Democrat and
a man who is thoroughly familiar with
the conduct of the affairs of the court
at Macon. He is also known through
out this entire section of the state, So
that he should make a candidate ac.
ceptable to the people of Southern
Georgia.

HAS NO CHANCE TO ESCAPE
Seal Once Harpooned by Eskimo
Hunter Cannot Fail to Become
His Prey.

When once he has gone to the
trouble of splicing a fine spear han
die the Eskimo does not wish to-
break it, so the point is put on with
a toggle or joint. When a seal or
walrus is harpooned the sudden strug-
gle of the animal does not break the
spear, but merely unjoints the point
and the more the animal struggles
the more the point turns crossW1set
in the wound and the f1rmer the
barbs take hold. But the animal can
not escape, for with thongs OF skin
the point is connected with the spear
shaft. The animal merely swims4
away or dives deep into the sea, car
rying with him the spear The long
leather thong which is attached to 1T
uncoils from the deck of the kyack1
and plays out 1t carries with 1t a
drag like a kite, which retards the
animal and exhausts him, but does
not pull hard enough to break the
line. Even this drag is made Of skin
stretched over spliced framework.
When the line is all played out 1t is
seen to be attached to a float which
is also carried on the deck of the
boat. This Is made of an inflated
skin. 1t has plugs and attachments
cleverly carved from ivory, for wood
is far too precious to be used in this
land Of ivory so far from the forests.
The float serves as a buoy so that
the Eskimo can follow the animal
and find it after 1t gives up its strug
gle and dies Then. too, the float keeps
the catch from sinking and being lost
in the oceans depths.-Southern
Workman.
