Seventy Millions of Dollars. The Blair hill proposes 1 prc_ tion of seventy millions of dollars distribu- j be- j tween the states "for educational pur- ! poses. This is a temptation with gold. ; We can find no authority in the con : stitution for the distribution of this ) large sum of money between the states, and fear the evils which would , grow out of it would be far greater than thebenefits. We cannot present I our views on the subject as fully as j wT 1 desire in this number of the paper ! but will do so in the nexti-i adding that In our opinion gerous experiment. On motion of (Japt.

We know you believe yoor view right, but if you vote against prohibition, your constitutional tech nicality ;s u move against your own boy, and you will he very apt to see your mistake iu after years. It is a move against your own daughter, for you will in all probability live to see her the wife of a drunkard, whioii step was brought about by your own vote.

All Europe is experiencing internal commotions of one kind or another, and we are not exempt from them. Ours consist of labor commotion in “strikes - ’ for better pay for services rendered. It seems to us tli.it the losses from these strikes are greater to owners of mines, mills, ami rail roads, than they could possibly expe rience by a ten per cent additional compensation freely ami cheerfully given. A concession of a small addi tional pay, securing constant work would be the better policy. Some es- tablislimentsha veeonceeded the labor ers claim and everything with Them is going on satisfactorily to owners and workers. When we consider the dan ger of working in mines, and the great 1 oss of life consequent upon the occ- upa- tion, and liable to happen at any time, their claim for additional compensa tion is reasonable, and should U granted. Great risks and riangeron.-- occu pat ions entitle the laborer to bel ter pay than smooth work, unattend ed with liabilities to the terrible sacri lice of life. Kr. Tilden.

TO I R NCMAN’S BACCO Wo see allfikions in some papers, bs to the possibility of Mr. Tilden’s being the Democratic candidate for the Pres idency in 1888. This is all idle talk. With great care and circumspection he maintains an attenuated existence, with much comfort, we hope, and a pleasant, perhaps anxious interest in public affairs. He was duly elected President in 1876 and should have been nominated in 1880. He knows, and everybody else, that lie could have received the nomination without a dissenting Democratic voice in 1884. but he felt physically unable to com ply with the wishes of his party. Four more years will have added some thing more to his infirmities and it would he not only unjust, but cruel, to disturb his repose by attempting to bring him forward as a candidate in 1888. Public virtue such as his, is probably more w'ortby of admiration than private. His patriotic deeds will go down to posterity to inspire the living’to emulate his patriotic impul ses and deeds. The patriotism of this grand old leader, and his wise coun sels, while he lives, and left after he is gone, should inspire the members of his party to imitate his example and make the public weal the object of their constant effort and desire.

Statisticians on the question of population assert that about half of the bora die before they reach the age of reproduction. Not more than one in ten thousand lives to the age of 90 years. Fallenteo semita vitae—the deceitful path of life. This is net a detailed life of one, but only a notice of a few striking in cidents of his public career. De rives nil nisibonum. Man is said te reach tlie first climacteric at the age of seven. Then it is supposed that moral responsibility begins. Human life is i great waste, with here and there a green shady oasis where one may rest from his past troubles and gain new strength for future ones. There is an immunity in private life unknown to official station. Vice often triumphs, virtue desponds, the innocent in men tal agony and bodily pain, nations, without cause, the victims of other nations' villainies. In life there is much to perplex the anxiousand scru tinizing spirit. In the minutest divi sions of human occupations, he who comes closest to imperial nature, will be happier than he who is most con versant with humanity, as it is exhib ited in the great mass ot humgn so ciety, for he will find others of similar characteristics to his own. Those who look upon this as a probationary existence—the prehide to another, where inconsistencies and imperfec tions will be adjusted, and atoned up on the immutable principles of right, will enjoy life the most, and endure its ills with the greatest resignation and reliance upon the goodness and mercy of the Great Creator. The Attack Upon the President. We will make short work of Mr. Edmunds’ speech and the report of the Senate “Judiciary Committee on tlie President’s nominations." The majority of the committee took the position that they had a right to ob ject to Presidential nominations un less tlie "Preflident furnished the Sen ate wiHvth®'papers tuid documents showing the reasons for displacing an incumbent and patting another in liis place. Senator Edmunds was, probably, the author of the report of the committee. It undertook to sustain the position of the majority by precedents from the early forma tion of the government, and yet, throughout the long report not a soli tary instance is given, or showiR. in which a President had to fortify a nomination by giving his reasons for turning out one man and putting an other in his plaee. The course uni formly adopted was for the President to make a nomination and the 8enate to confirm it, unless that body, of its own knowledge, knew that the nom inee was unfit for the position. Nov. for the first time in the history of the government, the committee claim of the President to send the papers con nected with the nomination, for the inspection of the fcienate. Tlie Sen Moved, lhat our next meeting be on the 5th Monday night in March, in stead of the 4th, on account of the election, on 4th Monday. Moved and carried, that a notice be pur in both of onr town papers, asking af! who have lands, honses, &c., for sale, to put them in the hands of out real estate agents. The funds of the Union being low an extra assessment of 25c was made for the quarter which has just ended. Mr. Barrett made a telling speech ou tlie importance of the Business Union bud (hug a hall for the purpose of holding meetings, &o., with stores below. Several gentlemen offered subscriptions. Mr. Barrett offering to head tlu* list with two hundred dollars. No <.ther business, the Union ad journed. T. E. Whitk, Sec’y & Tr. Washington's Birthday. —More interest than common was manifested through tin* country iu the celebra tion of lb.; birth-day of the Father of our country as he has so long been ( ailed. This is peculiarly interesting. Patriotic manifestations of venera tion for the great leader of our revo lutionary armies and first President of the Union of the American States, gives indication not only of love and veneration of his character, but of the devotion of the people to the great principles of civil and religious iiberty Tribute of Respect to the Late George O. Robinson. Webb Lodge, No 166, F. & A. M. on the 15th of February 1886, paid a high and deserved respect to his character and memory. In the preamble to the resolutions they spoke of him as “a useful and worthy member, whose ea sy elegance lent a charm to the social circle, and whose genial spirit secured the love of many friends.” Tlie Lodge boro testimo: y to his devotion to the order and his lively interest in its pros perity and welfare. They spoke of his Christian virtues regarding his fel low men as members of one common family. As a husband, friend and brother, he loved and was beloved by all. Tliese'are the resolutions adopt ed by the Lodge: Resolved, That in the death of Bro. G. O. Robinson, Webb Lodge, No. 166, has lost' a useful and worthy member the community, a good man and an upright and patriotic citizen; and to his afflicted family we tender heart felt condolence. Resolved, That as a testimonial of our sorrow for his death, a blank page in our record book be inscribed with his name, and dedicated to his memo ry. and a copy of these proceedings forwarded to his family. Fraternally submitted, Thos. S. Bkan, Wm. H. Fleming, C. F. Lewis, Committee. We had business aud social relations with Professor Robinson of the most pleasant kind and warmly sympathize with tlu Lodge and those near and dear to hhn in their loss aud bereave ment. It Comes Only a Week after Mardi Gras. The pleasure seekers at the Mardi Gras Fest i\ al at New Orleans, La., will have until March 9th, Shrove Tues day this year. Lent then commences, and on T uesday, March 16tli, the Grand Extraordinary Drawing (the 190th Monthly) of The Louisiana State Lottery will take place, when over a half million of dollars will be thrown around promiscuously. All a- bout which event any one can 'learn on an application to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans. La. vote vote for bar- from than ate knew not nee and asks the agan i Bte inst tha nouii- sid®nt to put them in possession of the papers. The President has the constitutional right to make a nomination and if the Sen ate knows nothing derogatory to the nominee, it is the doty of the Senate to confirm the nomination. The ob ject in demanding the papers is only to find oiit whether they could pick a tlaw in his character to reject him. or find some ground for an assault upon the J.’resident. We have, no reason .refuses to anything is t®. _ _ ______ wrong, but he wishes to rebuke the Senators who, at variance with de cency and common sense, seek to lrad him to a self-degrading sacrifice of his constitutional rights. This is the alpha and omega of the whole matter, on the part of certain Senators. Mr. Cleveland is not the man to be caught by such chaff and he justly meets this ^Senatorial trickery witji con- temptuousrefusaU. The, foundation of a great and pros perous State is a great aud prosper ous farming community. Every other interest is dependent upon this first, this rudiinental element. Whatever therefore, benefits the farming interest of a State, ben- fits every other interest. Whatever in jures t he farmer injures more seriously a thousand other men depen- dani for ilieir success upon the successful farmer. This brings us to our point namely, that good roads are essential to the prosperity of the farm interests of Georgia; per contra, poor roads are harmful and consequently, injure extensively every public and private interest in the State. Every business, every household is affected, one way or another by the condition ef our roads. Besides being a shame toGcoreift. our j>oor, miserable roads are a most deplorable source of dis comfort and injury to our people. How much longer are we to endure this condition?—Atlanta Journal. VoLNiii Physician.—Your analysis of Red Star Gough Cure is, no doubt, correct. It is the same as that which we lately published of Prof. Grothe, Brooklyn Board of Health, who found the remedy absolutely free from pois ons and opiates, and safe and sure. It costs only twenty-five cents a bottle. And now the country is startled by The statement that in twenty-eight Kentucky eouuties the sale of intox icating liquors is prohibited by law. The movement is by local option, and it began in Bullitt county, once the most lawless in- the state, "but now one of the most orderly. It is the only county iu the state'that has.no jail. Prohibition has been in force in Bul litt county twelve years. Now. more than in the past, are buyers becoming more careful, be cause of the adulterations and imita tions offered in food aud drink. A good cup of Coffee combining strength with flavor, comes in among the in- dispen>abIes.^Tnhe Coffee bean import- Co.. oCJialtimore, meets the wan ts of the most m'sndlous. Do some of our business men know from “their internal consciousness" that prohibition will injose their bus iness. better than the business men of Eatontou do, who have actual experi mental knowledge on the subject, intention, mid not your own family. A against this noble cause, is a vote a barroom. Yon may view it as you will, but it means barrooms an® war you can fix it. You know whai roou.swire, and what emanates f tliem. Is there anything worse murder? Now just reflect a moment, arid recall to your mind the murders commenced in, and committed in bar rooms in Milledgeville in past years. But see further the poor struggling widow and children, aud there are many such in Baldwin county, strug gling for the necessities of life. Bee the cost of every such case to the county, and the tax payers all share in these expenses. And the Solicitor General comes in for his part of every murder case. It is money in his pock et. Oh! men of Baldwin, how oan you view these matters in their true light, and talk about the constitution al rights of people! Oh! will you not hang your head in shame and morti fication, at the idea even, of striking a blow at a cause to liberate the ladies and children of Baldwin county! Will you not come with us? we are glad to have your aid. We are ail friends, aud let us not become estran ged to each other in this fight for re ligion, for morals, and a fight socially and ‘financially. It is not our object to injure a single individual. We love peace, prosperity and happiness. We feel even kindly towards tlie men in this barroom business, at least the great majority of us do. We are not against tiler but against their busi ness, winch is sapping the very life blood from our mothers, sisters, wives, sweethearts, our children, and friends. These barrooms foster and encourage so much evil of all kinds in our laud. We beg you men of anti-prohibition views, think of what you are doing. Ask your wife if she wants you to cast your vote for a barroom." The bar room men have to 1st of December to close out their stock. There are pla ces at which a sale of their barroom fixtures can be effected. If not, we the prohibition party, will make any honorable arrangement with them to effect a plan of settlement. Let us be friends. Some of us differ honestly and without animosities. Now let all lovers of peace and happiness, join hand in hand to redeem old Baldwin from her worst enemy and fall In line among the prohibition counties of Georgia numbering now- over one hun dred. A Club Member. Milledgeville, Feb. 22, 1886. 200.000 dollars worth of whiskey sold in the county for the past year aud 160.000 dollars worth of meat. What county or country can stand this? No wonder the people of noble old Pulaski rose in their majesty and put a stop to tlie sale of whiskey. I heard a broker of this city say that he offer ed to wager with a prominent bar room keeper that there was more liquor sold in this county than corn and bacon together, and "he would uot take the bet. Is not this enough ? It will ruin us morally ! It will ruin us financially ! Stop it! Stop it! Citizen. under similar conditions? It may be so but we can't believe it. PROHIBITION. Mr. Editor: I have just received the Union & Recorder of to-day’s issue, (Feb 23d) and heartily approve the many noble sentiments expressed in your columns encouraging prohibition. I loye Milledgeville as I love no oth er city on the face of the earth. There I was reared, there I found some of the most pleasant associations of life. And in all probability, I would have been numbered among her citizens till death, had not my life work ne cessitated me to be transient. Provi dentially or otherwise the last revo lution of the “Great Iron Wheel,” places me near enough to my old home to work for God and humanity among my native people. There is a principle involved in the prohibition movement that is as high ly esteemed by every good man and woman as life itself. Every candid observer of the de structive results of alcohol on the hu man system is bound to acknowedge that it is an evil of greater magnitude than all the wars that have ever curs ed the world. And ju»t in proportion as we sup press the manufacture and sale of in toxicating stimulants, we liberate youth from the thrauldom of destruc tion, and build bulwarks of salvation around humanity in general. We cannot shut onr eyes to the fact that dissipation is a sin that lias suppress ed the expanding intellect of -many promising young men; blasted the fondest- hopes of many parents; broken the peace of many families; wasted many fine estates; destroyed many sound constitutions; turned many once rational beings into stupid, loathsome animals; brought many amiable wives and hopeful children to poverty, beggary and shame; dng many untimely graves; and plunged many sinners into the depths of an eternal hell. And just so long as the traffic is tol erated. just so long as we permit this monster evil to prey upon society, the saddest results will be sure to follow. is there then no moral principle in volved in the prohibition movement? And can a person be guiltless before God and a friend to humanity whoop- poses it? How utterly insignificant ire the petty objections raised in re gard to the detriment of .business or the decrease in the value of city prop erty, when contrasted with the"rescue of mothers, wives .and daughters from degradation and ruin! Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink." sounds out in thun der tones from the pages of inspira tion, a warning to tho9e who for sinis ter motives assail the right, and hold victims in a nightmare of delusion and despair. “Liberty,” so called, is another pre text for opposition to prohibition. Some men seem to have a great deal of conscience about the liberty and rights of certain other business men, but their conscience becomes dor mant where it c Dines to liberating women and children. Liberty, in deed! This is what our fathers fought for in 17T6. And yet our country has never yet realized it, and it never will while men are allowed to set themselves behind barrels of whiskey and deal out destruction t>y the quart to their fellow men. Bat the “axe is layed at the root of the tree." Thank God for the assarrance that every tree that hringeth not forth good fmit must be. hewn down. The whiskey traffic is an evil tree of gigantic proportions that has never yet borne any good fruit, but evil and evil continually. Theu hear it all ye lovers of prohibition! This giant monster must come dowo. Not be cause you or I have said that it would be so, but God's eternal truth declares it. Look how this evil tree has been shorn of his mighty strength in our own beloved State within the last, de cade! His branches tumble one pr one as elections are held, and now the main trunk is quivering and will soon tumble with a crash that will be heard from the mountains to the sea board. Then will the sons and daugh ters of the proud Empire State of the South be Liberated, and with the giant evil arrested, our land will be come Emmanuel's land wherein God delights to dwell. L. H. Green. Irwinton, Ga., Feb. 23d, 1886. A Letter from Judge B. H. Bingham. LaGrange, Ga., Feb. 25th, 1886. Editor Union A Recorder. Mil- edgeville, Om—Dbah Bin;—Baldwin has many sons outside of her limits who are deeply interested iu the local option issue now under consideration there. I have noticed in the issues we have had in this election that there are res pectable gentleman found in the advo cacy of the sale. Many of them reflect as the canvass progresses and ulti mately vote “no sale;” especially is this true if everything calculated to irritate is avoided. Some are misled by the idea that “nusal?" will injure the business of the city or town in which they live or are interested. Our experience here and my observa tion as to other communities where local option has carried is that this apprehension is not well founded. No fluch result ensues and. if it did, I respectfully submit that the welfare of our young men ami boys ami our old men too who have an appetite for strong drink, and the happiness of onr families is of too much value to allow a question of mere business suc cess in gathering filthy lucre to weigh, for one moment, in the scale. The strong draft of this question is found in its effects upon the family and upon individuals. It is in no seuse political. It so intimately concerns human happiness in every day life and in home life that he "cannot af ford to let the fate of any particular association of men or party depend In the least upon it. The man w ho drinks most should be the strongest advocate of “no sale.” U know of many instances where this has been the ease, and you will doubtless see instances of it in the Baldwin election. —Women and children suffer most from the baleful effects of strong drink, therefore no merely conven tional consideration should deter the ladies from using every influence in their power to eradicate this great e- vil. There is no individual, white or black, in this country who has not, in himself or herself, or in the person of a father, mother, brother, sister, or relative or friend suffered injury from the effects of strong drink; therefore no indvidual should fail to give all help in advancing the success of tem perance. We have witnessed how the people of Baldwin, rallied when Walter Hill, and Sam Jones were there. I hope it indicates a steady, thorough ground swell. In this county (Troup) We had a central committee and a com mittee in each district. We circulated temperance literature obtained from from J. G. Thrower, Atlanta, and Dr. Haygood’s tract on the subject ob tained from Nashville, and, by ar rangement of these committees, the people in each neighborhood were addressed. I know, in this matter, I have no hard words for anybody, but I do want to know that Baldwin county puts herself right on the record. To see the news flashing about over the wires will delight many a Baldwin boy. I know it wil delight, Yours Truly, Benj. H. Bingham. Washington, Feb. 23. 1886. 1 he Administration agreed to fur nish the Senate all the reasons for re movals except those of a confidential nature. The Republican leaders then demanded that the confidential rea sons be submitted to them also, in or der that the Senate might decide if they were really confidential, and the direct issue was thereby raised. It cannot be known what action will be taken bv the Administration hi regard to this matter until the How Prohibition Works in Athens, Georgia. To-day, Wednesday, Feb. I7tli, we dropped in at several stores in Athens, and asked how Prohibition was work ing. CoL Dobbs, a leading merchant, said, “it has not injured me in busi ness at all. This is the statement among our merchants generally. Pro hibition is of vast benefit to orir peo ple. I am glad we have street ears, telephones, and water works, but I would rather give them all up than to give up prohibition." H. K. Benard, the superintendent N. E. R. K., said, “prohibition is working finely here. It has not di minished our business or the business of Athens' merchants. The Talmage Bros., a large whole sale and retail house, both said “their business never was better, and prohi bition is a decided success. We do not believe that if the question were np again to be voted on in Clarke county, the wet ticket would stand the ghost of a chance. It would not get even as many votes its before.” One of the firm of Hodgson Bros., another large wholesale and retail house,' said, “our business has not been injured by prohibition, and the retail houses that purchase from us do now a better business than before prohibition, so that our sales to them are increased.” T. C. Hampton, a retail merchant, doing an extensive business, said, you know colored workmen with us are paid off on Saturday night, since prohibition they bay more than be- fore ot supplies for their families. Some who formerly bought 25 cents worth of flour, now buy a sack. My business and the retail family grocery business generally, has been improved by prohibition.'' Chief Of police, Oliver, >aid “about one-tenth as much liquor is drank in Athens since prohibition as there was before. The number of offences against law and order is about one- tenth as great, as before prohibition. My observation is that prohibition has not in the least injured Athens in its business.” So we might have many other testi monies, bat enough is given to show that whether you look at its effect on business, on the criminal calendar, on good morals and good order, on the comfort and happiness of wives and children, on lessening the sorest evils that afflict humanity, prohibition in Athens is a decided successs. C. W. Lane. P. S.—I met ex-Mayor Dorsey this icirning, the 18th, said he, “in August A September ’84, before prohibition, the number of cases before me, was sixtyseven. In August and Septem ber ’85, after prohibition became law, the number of cases before me was only seven. Property has increased rather than diminished in value since prohibition.” J. Cohen, the largest dry goods merchant In Athens, says “prohibition is the best thing that ever happened to Athens. It has benefitted rather than injured my business. Colored men and hard working white men, whose whiskey expenses kept them from having money to buy dry goods with, buy now for their families. I was opposed to prohibition, believed it wonla injure business, but I have been agreeably disappointed. Prop erty has increased In value.” Moore and Elder, an enterprising E uang firm established since probibi- ion, are of the opinion that taken as a whole, business nas been helped by prohibition. The same opinion is ex pressed by W. McDowell of the firm of McDowell & Son, fancy and family >ugn notice of the Executive. Democratic Senators do not consider any further caucusing ou the so-called Edmunds rebellion necessary on their part. They have takeu their stand witn the President, since they believe he right, and they intend to sustain him. A eauouc ia contemplation, Low ever, for the purpose of appointing the usual campaign committee to manage the Congressional campaign. It win be held in a few days, and the Edmunds demonstration may be brought up, but the caucus will be held without reference to it. The issue will provoke a hot politi cal discussion in the Senate, which is expected to begin next Monday. It will probably continue for some days as Senators of both parties are hunt ing up precedents and preparing speeches on the question. There are a number of Republican Senators who are opposed to this farcical fight, although they feel bound by political duty to abide by their caucus decis ion in condemning the Administra tion's determination to maintain the Executive prerogative. One of their non sympathizers. Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, stigmatizes the Ed munds attack as a “hunt for ghosts’ wool.” Senators Pugh, of Alabama, Jack- son, of Tennessee, and Kenna, of West Virginia, are among the Demo cratic Senators who are equipped and anxious for the battle to begin. They say they will be abundantly fortified with precedents to off set those given by the Republicans. A Democratic Senator has in his possession the copy of a letter written by Sherman, when Secretary of the Treasury, declining to furnish Conkling, then a Senator, with reasons for the suspension of Chester A. Arthur, as Collector of the Port of New York. There are many indications that the coining contro versy will be bitter and the debate exciting. And what will it amount to? At the worst in can only stop the Presi dent from filling offices whose incum bents he may see fit to suspend, leav ing those offices in abeyance until the end of their regular terms. And at that point even the obstructive pow er of the Senate must end, unless the Republican majority undertake the desperate resort of refusing to confirm the President’s nominees because they are Democrats. In either event the Republican Senators will lose the fight. A" esterday being W ashington’s birth day, Congress took holiday as well as Government clerks. It is at work again to day, and the Blair Educa- ■ tional bill is still before the Senate. Some very able arguments have been made for and against the measure. Though a stronger opposition has been manifested against it this session than last, no doubt is expressed that it will pass the Senate either by its friends or enemies. It is estimated that at least ten Southern Senators will vote against it as being uncon stitutional, and impolitic, although under the provisions of the bill, their section would share more largely' in its benefits than the North. All of the Democrats of the House, and sixteen Republican members vo ted for the Fitz John Porter relief bill. The passage of the bill was a fore gone conclusion, the only interesting feature of the vote lying in the num ber of Republicans who would range themselves with Democratic senti ment in favoring Porter’s full vindica tion. The close of the Porter debate brought the first scene of the session, and ended in uproar and confusion. There was a medley of comedy and tragedy. Men on both sides of the Hall lashed themselves into a passion. One Member accused another of dis ingenuousness. Another accused a member of trying to cram a falsehood down the throat of the House. Mem bers shook their fists in the air and in each other's faces, and made other demonstrations equally unparliamen tary. They ridiculed each other’s speeches, and shrieked aud laughed and groaned until the tumult was settled by an order that the vote be takeu. The advocates of woman suffrage held a lively convention here during the week. This is their eighteenth annual Washington convention. They are much elated over the bill favoring female enfranchisement that is now on the Senate calendar. The House judiciary committee granted the dele gates a respectful hearing on last Sat urday, and nine ladies made argu ments before the committee appeal ing for the submission of a sixteenth amendment to the State legislature, granting women the citizen’s right to vote. RALLY FOR THE CONFLICT. wmrrbr fffe confficf; See the gterions banner wave; Temperance bands are pressing on ward, Fallen men to uplift and save, Hear a mighty host of freemen, Bongs of joy and triumph raise; Love hath conquered, chains are broken; Give to Got! most high the praise. Swift the day of life is passing, Soon will fall the shades of night; Urge we then the glorious conflict, Battling hard in love’s great might, Borst the tyrant bands asunder; Set the wretehad captive free; Let rejoicing wives aud mothers Shoot—“the year of jubilee.” Led no more by passion captive, Haunts of sin aud death we shun; Happy hearts and smiling faces Tell of joyful vict’ries won. Hear a mighty nost of freemen. Songs of joy and triumph raise; Love hath conquered, chains are broken; Give to God most high the praise. Better stop your cough while you Can.
