Atlanta, Juu. 8.—Tho state railroad
commission has ordered the roads to re-
duoe their rates on fertilizers 20 per
cent. The order is to date from Jan. 1.
This means a loss to the roads of $200 ■
000, so they say. They state that they
cannot afford to stand it, and it is prob-
able that they will ask for au injunction
to restrain the commission from apply
ing the order. The chuuces are that
the case will go to the suprome court of
the United States.

Ballad of tlio Inebriate.
What onriohment ims been given to
tho world’s literature and enjoyment
by the ballads, tho cnntioles, tlio diH-
oants, tho ditties, tho xoundtdays, tlio
epics, tlio lyrics, tlio dithyrambs! But
my text cails attention to a style of
song that I think hits never been dis
coursed upon. You sometimes hear tiiis
style of music when passing u saloon
or n residence iu which dissipation is
ascendant, or after you have retired at
night you hear it coming out of the
street from those who, having tarried
long at their cups, are on their way
home—tho ballad of the inebriate, the
serenade of the aioohoiizsd, or what
my text calls the song of the drunk
ards.
For practical and saving and warn
ing and Christian purposes I will an
nounce to yon tho characteristics of
that well known cadence mentioned in
my text. First I remark that the song
of tlio drunkards is an old song. Much
of the niusio of tho world and of the
church is old niusio. First cume tho
music of percussion, tho chipping cym
bal, which was suggested by u hammer
ou an anvil, und then tho sighing of tho
wind across, the reeds suggested tlio
flute, and then the strained sinews of
the tortoise across its sholl suggested
the harp. But fur back of that, and
nearly back us far ns tho moral collapse
of onr first parentage, is tlio song of tlio
drunkards. That tune was sung ut leant
4,248 yours ago, when, tho deluge pust,
Noah enmo out of the ark, und as if
disgusted with too muob prevalence of
water he took to stroug drink and stag
gered forth, for h11 ages the first known
drunkard. Hu sounded the first note of
the old music of inebriety. Au Arab
author of A. D. 1810 wrnto, “Noab,
being conio out of tho ark, ordered eaoli
of his sons to build a house. ”
Tlio Devil’* Vino.
Afterward they wore occupied in sow
ing and iu planting trees, tho pippins
and fruits of .which they had found in
the ark. Tho vino alone was wanting,
und they could not discover it. Gabriel
then iuformed thorn that tho devil had
desired it, and indeed had some right
to it. Hereupon Noah summoned him
to uppenr iu tho field and said to him :
‘Ob, acoursed! Why hast thou carried
away the vine from me?” “Becauso,”
replied tbo devil, “it belonged to me.”
‘Shall I part it for yon?” said Gabriel.
I consent,” said Noah, “and will
leave him a fourth.” “That is not suffi
cient for him,” said Gabriel. “Well, I
will take hjilf, ” replied Noah, “nud he
shall take the other." “That is not
sufficient yet,” respondedGabriol. “He
must have two-thirds aud thou one, and
when thy wine shall have boiled on tbe
fire until two-thirds aro gone the re
mainder shall be assigned for thy use.”
A fable that illustrates how the vine
has been misappropriated.
Benhadad and 82 allied kings, riot
ing in a pavilion, took up the same
bacchanal. Nabal was rendering that
drunkards’ song when his wife, beauti
ful Abigail, came back from her expe
dition to save her husband. Herod was
singing that song when the daughter of
Herodias whirled in tho dance before
him. Beishazzur und a thousand lords
renewed that song the nigiit the hand-
riting came out on the plastering of
tbe wall and the tramp of tho besieging
host was heard on the pulace stairs.
Aliasuerus sang that soug when, after
seven days of carousal, lie ordered
Vashti to come into the presence of the
roaring guests without her veil on—n
January story trying to command a
June morning. Oh, yes I The song of
the drunkurds is un old song. King Cy
rus bousted that he could drink moro
wine than his brother. Drunkenness
was so rife among the Lacedaemonians
that Lycurgus had all the vines of the
vineyards destroyed. Paul excoriates
the Corinthiuus for turning the com
munion of the Lord’s Supper at church
into a carousal. Isaiah mentions the
drunkards of Ephraim. So niuoh were
the Athenians given td wassail that a
an expensive song, Tho Souutags and
tho I’arepu Rosas and Nilssons aud the
other tenderers of elevated and divine
solos received their thousands of dol-
lars per nigiit in coliseums nnd aeudo-
mics of music. Some of tho people of
small means almost pauperized iliem-
selves that they might sit a few even
ings under I Ho enchantment of Iboso
angels of sweet sounds. I paid $7 to
hear Jenny Lind sing when it was not
very easy to afford the $7. Very expen
sive is Hitch music, but tho costliest
song on earth is the drunkards’ song." It
costs ruin of body, It costs min of
mind. It costs ruin of soul. Go right
down among the residential streets of
any city and yon can Hud once beauti
ful aud luxurious homesteads that were
expended in this destructive niusio.
The lights have gone out in the draw
ing room, tho pianos havo ceased the
pulsation of their keys, the wardrobe
has lost its last artiole of appropriate
attire. Tho Belshazzarean feast lias left
nothing hut tho broken pieces of the
crushed chalices.
Tlio Slo*t Expensive Music.
Thoro it stands, the ghastliest thiug
on earth—tho remnant of a drunkard's
homo. The costliest tiling on earth is
sin. The most expensive of all niusio is
tho song of tho drunkards. It is tho
highest tariff of nations—not a protect
ive tariff, but a tnriff of doom, a tariff
of woe, a tariff of death. This evil
whets tiie knives of the assassins, outs
the most of tho wonuds of tho hospital,
makes necessary most of the almshouses,
causes the most of the ravings of tho
insane asylum and puts up most of tho
iron bars of tbe penitentiaries. It bus
its baud today on the throat of the
American republic. It is Iho taskmaster
of nations, and tlio homn;i rncecrouches
under its nunthnma. The song of tbe
drunkards lias for its accompaniment
tho clunk of chains, the chattering tenth
of poverty, tho rutile of oxooutionor’s
scaffold, the creaking door of tho de
serted home, tho crush of shipwrecks
nml tho gronn of empires. The $2,020,-
000,000 which rum costs this country
in n year in tho destruction of grain
and sugnr and the supporting of the
pun purs and the invalids and tho crimi
nals which strong drink causes is only
a small pnrt of wliat is paid for this ex
pensive song of tlio drunkards.
Again, this song of tlio drunkards is’
a multitudinous song—not a solo, not a
duet, not n quartet, not u sextet, bnt
millions on millions are this hour sing
ing it. Do not think that alcoholism
lias this field all to itself. It lias pow
erful rivals in the intoxicants of other
nations—hasheesh, and arrack, aud
pulque, nnd opium, nnd qunvo, and
mnstio, and wedro. Every nation, bur-
bario as well ns oivilized, has its pet
intoxicant. This Bong of tho druukards
is rendered in Chinese,Hindu*tuneo,Aru
biun, Assyrian, Persian, Mexican—yen.
all the languages. All zones join it. No
continent would lie large enough for the
choir gallery if all thoso who havo this
libretto in their hands should stand side
by side to chant iho international chorus.
Other throngs ure just learning the eight
notes of this deuthful music which is
already mustered by the orclicstrus in
full voioo under tho batons in full swing
All the musicians assembled at Dus-
aeldorf, or Berlin, or Boston peace ju
biloe, rendering symphonies, requiems
or grand marches of Mendelssohn or
Wagner or Chopin or Handel, wore in
significant in numbers as oornpured
with the innumerable throngs, host be
side host, gallery above gallery, who
are now pouring fortii the soug of the
drunkards.
The Bung ut Salvation.
Years ago, standing boforo a bulletin
board in New York on tho night of a
presidential electiot: day us tho nows
oame iu aud the choice of the American
peoplo wus finally announced, there
were people in the stroets who sung
roistering and frivolous songs, but in
the street one man, in deep, strong,
resonunt voice, started, to tho tune of
“Old Hundred,” “Praise God, From
Whom Ail Blessings Flow,” and soon,
all up mid down tlio street, the voices
joined iu the doxology. May Und spoed
the day when tho song of rescue und
salvation shall drown with an over
whelming surge tiiis mighty song of
the drunkards I
Again, tlio song of the drunkards is
a suggestivo song. You hear a nursery
refrain, und right away you think of
your childhood home and brothors aud
sisterH with whom you iiavo played
and motlior long since gone to rest.
You hear a national air und you think
of tHe encampment of 1863, aud the
stili night on tho river bauk, and tho
campfires that shook their reflections
np aud down the faces of tho regiment.
You hear an old church tune aud you
aro reminded of the revival scenes amid
which you were brought to God. Noth
ing so brings up associations ns a soug
snug or played upon an instrument, and
the drunkards’ sung is full of sugges
tion. As you hear it on the street quite
late some night you begin to say to
yourself: “I wonder if he has a moth
er? Is his wife waiting for him? Will
his children be frightened when he en
ters the front door und staggers, whoop
ing, np the stain? What chance is there
