to enter seriously upon a flgbt for deliv

power, uudnr whose reign one bar keep

than all the rhurohea in Bichmoud cily.
No wondor that crirnoe multiply, when
the thirst for stimulants in the United

to quenoh or allay it—not counting the
tboneands of nnlieenri'd and nnrerogn z

min Only ooneider that there ie in oqr
country, one “liceuaed saloon" for every
288 of the popuiatiuu, counting aeinte
and ainnere, men, women, yonihs, chil
dren and iufaiite!
How r.oao ?
The evidence ie complete; the argu
burnt is invincible; tun conclusion ia
thundered into our oormciencoe. livery,
body know*, or should know, that in the-e
dram-ahnpn, of high and low degree, near
ly all the violent Crimea that abbot and
disgrace our aocieiy have their origin.
Here murder ia generated. Here Innt ia
inflaraid. Here every crime, known to
tbe records of our ouuits, has its aoiosso
ry before or after tho fact. Here a'ao,
pauperism, with its inseparable vices and
miseries, ia born and Inel.
Tbe heaviest huidens of government
reet on the good citizens 10 th-ir ell ort
to proteot society sgainl the bad. And
tbe drem ebops are notoriously responsi
ble for the greater part of these burdens.
Tbe burden grows as we carry it. Tho
evil and the onrwe increase from day to
day. Diatiileriea, breweries, wholesale
liquor stone, drluking saloons, bar rooms,
sample rooms, grog-shops and pretended
drug-stores, multiply upon us like tbe
frogs of Egypt. The whiskey power
grows by rapid and enormous increment.
Ita atrong band, full of gold, and coni roi
ling thousands of hsllots, hss witbm the
last liooade hern felt all the way down

Bourn timid souls nre alarmed whenever
it is proposed to grapple seriously with
this curse aud ruin of ibe people. When
one says moral suasion," they say "amen;*’

intolerance. Moat of the shuddering

AKHAII) or Tit* LION.
Their argument for inaction is taken
from their diapa'r. They are afraid of
the liquor power; they have uo fsilbt they
are a about hope or courage. As the oaae
appears to its, there cmu he no doubt that
one of the controllii g influences that det
er the better classea of people front declar
ing releulless war againt tha whiskey
power, ia their frgbt at the prospect of
an nproar from the aimy ol men engaged
tn the manufacture and sale of intoxicat
ing drinks. No doubt this lion will ronr
and show uia teeth if good people unite
to attack him. Hut it will not he the
ilrat time that the devil Ims toared against
the children of light, ll.irhary pirates
raised a great nproar when Christian *-

io t hundred ways interferes with the
rights of p.r-oas{sud properly.
What right has sootyty to do such things?
Tiro right that is before ali government—
the Itirine Magna charts —tbe right tbs 1
n; ikes society or government possible,
tbe right which ties back of all statue
law, tbe right which fl rd gives to aociety
to defend and protect itself against any
thing and all things whatsoever that de
stroys it. And yet many good people say:
"The S ate hss no right to enact and en
force laws to suppress the whisky traffic."
As if tbe right to close bar-rooms were
identical with the right to ruako men re
ligions bv force of law! As if the right
to sell whiskey were a right of onnsciena !
if a man says, “the State has no right
to prohibit the whiskey truffle," he is
bound first to prove tbU: Kvery msn, in
organized society, baa an inalienable and
illimitable right to do whatever pleases
him, without reference to the wishes or
interests of other people, thali which, as
we read Uod’s word and the great book of
humanity, nothing can he more false.
Tbe simple truth is, society has, by gift
o! God, tbe right to forbid and pnt down
say course of conduct tbst corrupts and
destroys the virine of the people, that
breaks tbe place and imperils tho safety
of the community.
HO Wilt OH OPINION^.
We do not claim for society the right
to make men think right, but to fortiid
them to do things injurious. Society has
no right to war on mere opinions. Houle
ty may not paroi.h t Bran for thinking
tbst he has a right to two wives: it may not
pnrnisb a man for thinking ha has a right
to work on Sunday; it olaims tbe right
to any he shall not do it. D may not pur
uish him for thinking he ha. the right
to his bis neighbor’s goods; it puts him in
j ril if he steals them secretly, or seizes
ill-in by force. (Society may endure the

bo keeps hie opinions to himself, or keeps
bis bunds off his .neighbor's propurty.

When he begins to assert communism by
appropriating oilier people's property, so

WAH ON HAII-ItOOMA, NOT ON BAB KEKPEUS.
N > prohibition! f talks of the right to
win on mure opinions. The State cannot
lilt her hand against cunioicucs. Perse
< ulion for opiuion's soke is a folly anil a
oriuie. Homaory out, •‘latoloram o.” Not
hi* ; wo do not advocate auppreHaing bar
kuopera, hut bar-rooma. It la wur on the
bad business, not on tbo man.
Moreover, the suppression of barrooms
wonld boa great mercy to bar keepers.
lint this talk ahout Ibe rights of con-
Hi'ietioo, uh applied to tbe whiakoy trafilo,
is more stuff. There ia no right of ouu
science in it.
No man sells whiskey for oonioienoe
sake, but for money'a aake. No honest
man pleads the right to sell whiskey aa a
right of conscience. it is no more a mat
ter right of conscience than i* smuggling,
or arson, or highway robbery. ADd such
ia the eduoatpig power of law that drem-
Helling would be as diahotiorablo to day
aa o'.bor wrongs dope to society, had so
ciety through its penal adiuiuiHtration,
during the last few hundred years, de
fined and purnished druuK ird making as
it deserves, liigbta of opinion! rights
of couacience, indeed ! Where ia the
man who sella whiskey froji convictions
of duty, or prays God's blceaiug upon hla
performance of this du'y ?
The State Heart.
Ton years ago the Legislature leased
the Western aud Alluntio road lot the
term of twenty years. One-half of that
time has expired and tbo State baa receiv
ed *3.000,000 in cash from the leasees
The lease has tun yeais yet to run, aud in
that timo the Stale will receive if 3 000,000
in oaab. In the term of the lease it will
have paid the euormona Hum of $0,000,-
000.
It is an essential part of this lease that
the road shall he ruu with absolute im
partiality, and Ibe buiubleat oit z-u has
the right to lest the impartiality of ila
management in the courts. It ia also
“writ in the bond" that the road ahall he
returned at the eud of the lien in as good
ooud tion aa it was wheu tiist leased—the
State being put under uo xpeuse for re
pair. it wdl he seen, therefore, that we
have u upturn income off 8,000,000 a
year, without a dollar of outlay, aubject
to no ion Ingeuoy and without ny dcpie
eiaUon of the property. A aafer invest
ment no Male t Var made—a better invest
merit Georgia cannot make.
Aside from tbe fact that the State
should control in the interest of all see •
turns and all classes, (his most important
railroad within her borders—tbe key, as it
wore, to ito entile system of roada—as a
purely financial matter, the road should
never be sold. It could never bring, at
ituy call, more ihsu Sfi.t'OO.OCHl, and mo.-3
probably not more -3 laXhtKO 'The
chattel s are that li e few men rich enough
to make a serious bid f. r the road would
