The pr< liibiticnijts gamed a victory in tho lute municipal election in Quitman, j llrooks county. The muuici|inl election in tho town of Calhoun, (la., resulted in a victory for prohibit! n by a majority of twenty-three. « • On Monday last the President sei t to tho Senate the nomination of \V. T. 11. Wilsou to be Postmaster at Atlanta, (ia. There is a monopoly in the manufacture of wall paper in the United States, which ought to ho squelched in the quickest way knowu to men of affairs. V. Constitution : The Egyptian ministry has resigned. The khedivo declines tp obey English dictation any longer, arid the futuro of the land of the pyramids is uncertain. The Atlanta Constitution of Tuesday last published a list of about twelve hun dred families that were fed and warmed by the good Samaritans of that city on the previous two days. Three cheers for the generosity of Atlanta. « -♦ ♦ Mr. U. L. Weston has sold his interest in tho Dawson Journal to its present edi tor, Mr. (J. \V. Chceves. Mr. Weston g jch to Florida to engage in merchandis ing. lie has our best wishes for success in his new field of labor. ♦*- • It Koouis to us that tho Telegraph, amt .Messenger is unnecessarily severe on the Georgia Uailroul Commission. It never misses a cluinco to place that body in a bad light before the people, and in doing so, is guilty of the very same offense which it charges upon the commission— acting on ex parte evidence. It is a good rule to hear both sides before pronouncing judgment. • ♦ ♦ ♦ —- At n recent meeting of the stock hold ers of the Central Railroad, 37000 shares were represented. The following persons were elected ns the Hoard of Directors for tho present yenr : W. G. Raoul, E. 11. Green, Jacob Rawls, John M. Guer rard, W. W. Gordon, George Cornwell, tieorge J. Mills, William Hunter, Abra ham Minis, If. M. Cower, J. J. Gresham, S. M. Inman, R. H. llepliard. - • ♦ ()nr excellent neighbor, the Telegraph am! .Messenger, makes a true hit, thus: “People who favor low salurics for public officials are not wise. Good workmen are required to do good work, and good work men command good wages. This is true in all the departments of business life ; and there isn’t a single good reason why < it should not apply to the servants of the public. Men ought not to be expected to i s’rvc the public for beggarly salaries. Senator Wade Hampton’s aunt, Caro line Hampton Preston, died in South Car olina. She was eighty-nine years of age, and had seen tivc generations of Wade Hampton- 1 . Tho first was a general in the Revolution, his son a major-geuoral in tho war of 181 ii, but resigued because a Northern man was placed over him on the Northern frontier. 11 is son, Wade, was father to the present Senator, who is the last of the race, for his son of the same name died three years ago, leaving no children. Tho weather has been telling very se verely on the poor of Atlanta. On Sat urday night last, a reporter of the Con stitution came across some women and children that were in an absolutely suf fering condition for want of shelter, fuel and provisions. Notice was given of the state of affairs in Sunday morn tig’s Con stitution, and the good people' of the city rallied at once to the relief of those who were in distress. Wood, provisions, cloth ing ana bedding were furnished the needy ones. This speaks well for the Christian spirit of the people of Atlanta. “The poor ye have always with you,” said the Savior, intimating thereby that they should be miiiis'ercd to by those who were Hiore highly favored. Patents Granted. The following patents were granted to citizens of Georgia, week ending Janua ry 1, 1884, reported expressly for this paper by Jos. H. Hunter, Solicitor of American aud Foreign Patents, 934 F Street, Washington, 1). C; Jeremiah J. Crowley, Savannah, metal lie packing for stuffiug boxes; Jieuj. F Dillon, Savannah, combined burgUr alarm and telephone system; Jesse Jordan and Abner I*. Powers, Macoo, seal lock; Isiac T. Mee, Codartown, can m zz'e; Samuel Peatman, Marietta, buckle. Prutectioa The [resent price at which tin-plate is 1 “elling is a strong argument in favor of I protecting that industry in this country . and is a convincing refutation of the free j trade theory that a duty on any commodi ty necessarily increases its price to the j i consumer. The tin-plate trade of this I ! country is controlled by a syndicate of j | Hritisb capitalists m conjunction with a . few importers aud middlemen, who, iu or- ! | order to retain control of the American markets, have been lavish in the use of tlicir means with Washington lobbyists in j j order to cripple the American effort at ! j production by preventing it from obtain- | •tig that protect ion necessary to give it. a i permanent foothold in this country. This , syndicate having succeeded last winter, ! after a ten years conflict, in destroying this industry by a reduction of the tariff j have now absolute control of our markets and arc supplying the American consumer with an inferior article of tin-plate at 25 to 30 per cent higher than the ruling prioe before their American competitors were to the wall. Tho amount of tiu y plate annually consumed in this country is 1 *240,000 tons; representing tho labor of 00,1100 skilled workmen, and this fratrici dal discrimination of the tariff law in fa vor of the foreign capitalist aud manufac turer has driven this vast industry from American soil. A moderate protection would have saVcd our capitalists whose works are now idle and rusting down; it would have given employment to 60,000 workmen, who with their families would have become consumers of American pro ducts; it would have relieved the present depressed condition of our iron trade by j requiring over 225,000 tons of iron annu- , ally in its manufacture, and it would give us a better article of tin-plate at a reduced price, while it would have added largely to the growth, wealth, aud manufacturing industry of the country. Whatever diver sity of sentiment there may be in the south iri regard to the protective policy, wo feel assured we can pledge Georgia to the pro tection of any infant industry to any ex tent necessary to [dace it beyond the pow er of Hritish capital Can't ve, big broth er of the 'Telegraph anti .Messenger! Henry Villsird. There will not be much sympathy »wa i kened by the tumble of Henry Villisrd the j President of the Northern Pacific Hail say j Company. His failure is one of those j compensations society receives for the io j jury it suffers from the questionable prac tiers of such operators. The country cmi well afford to retire, in th<- interests of mo J ratify, ad that class of railway magnates ol which he was un acknowledged type ID j wai a (a : r representative of that class of stewards who are indtbtcd to the Pennsyl vania Company for their inspira'ion and tuition, and who believe that nil they can acquire, by hook or by crook, is tbc logiti mate perquisite of any one who is sharp c nough to secure control of the management of the stock and franchises of any railway. The fact thut an impecunious typo can lay down the reportorial f'aber and in a few years of railway manipulation be aide to accommodate soother company with the loan of a million dollars on individual ac count; or that another op ralor, with less ability, who has failed to meet his obliga tions iu a small grocery trade iu an Oh o village; ean, alter a short experience in handling the funds of a railway company, count his wealth by the millions, ban done | more to demoralise the business interests j of the country and beget a spirit of discon- ■ tent with honest industry aud slow accumu j lations than all other causes. We ean well j spate the services of all such operators in j •ho Pennsylvania Company aud all who practice lhe peculiar tactics of that uionopo I ly.
