PKOIItIIITOKY I.rnIStATION.
Dio Lewis, ol Boston, was for years
one of the most ardent advocates of
prohibition that could be found in the
ranks of temperance men. He believed
in the strictest legislative enactments
that could be framed to prevent the
sale of intoxicating liquors, and he
wanted to see all such laws enforced
to the letter, even if it required the
entire power of the State to do it.
His belief was simply the orthodox
total abstinence belief. What Dio
Lewis believed and desired in these
respects are what hundreds of
thousands of honest, intelligent, well
meaning people believe and desire
to day. Hut while Dio Lewis was
earnest and uncompromising in the
position he assumed, he was not so
bigoted as to refuse to recognize tbe
logic of events, and the consequence
is that he is no longer a prohibitionist
in the ordinary acceptance of the term.
Indeed, an audience of Boston clergy
men, alter listening to his views,
resolved that they “deeply regri-tted
that Dm Lewis had abandoned tbe
cause of temperance and gone over to
the rum party." These clergymen
went too far. Dio Lewis has riot joined
the “rum parly,” but he does believe
that tbe attempt to make mm tem
pi-! ate by law is a failure. He says:
“Of the success of prohibition in
the State ol Massachusetts I was a
constant and attentive observer for
twenty years. At first public senti
ment in its favor was very strong.
Earnest temperance men wrote the
law. Tbe legislature passed it without
changing a word. Soon it was dis
covered that it did not cover every
case, and it was amended. Several
times it was amended, until the cunning
of the Evil One]could find no possible
•scape from its provisions. The pro
hibitory law was net allowed to take
its chances w ith other laws, but a large
number of selected men, known as
State constables, with headquarters in
Boston, were for years on the </vi vire
for transgressors of proh : bition. They
were sworn to enforce that law. Our
tax-payers knew that a large percent
age of their taxes sprung from the
rum traffic; we knew that nearly all
climes originated in strong drink;
every father knew that his son's suc
cess and bis danghter’sfbappinrss were
imperiled by the traffic, ami we all
knew that the success ol our republi
can institutions was endangered by
strong drink. Under all these over
whelming convictions, sustained by an
immense force of State constables,
there were in Boston at the end of
twenty-four years of prohibition—in
eluding those diug stores where drinks
could be purchased without difficulty,
groceries, many of wnich sold by the
drink, and all of whom Jsold by the
bottle, and the saloons—almost five
thousand plaets where intoxicating
driukß could be purchased without let
or himlerance. And this is the most
law abiding large city in our countrj.
All the considerations, all tbe con
eeivabte motives that could inspire an
intelligent, brave community, were
concentrated in Boston. Yet in that
city tho law was violated more than
three hundred thousand times a day,
or more than two million times a
week, and the average punishment for
tbe offense was not more than one a
week.”
Dio Lewis claims to lie as strong a
temperance man as ever, hut the tolly
of fixing hy statute what a man st all
drink is now as clear to him as would
he the idiocy of defining hy law what
a man shall cat. He regards the ten
dency to drink aa a vteo, and believes
that only the crimes of the liquor
traffic should be punished. lie says:
“The sale to a child, to a man who
is drtuik, to a sot, or to a person who
is dangerous when under the in
fluence of drink, is a crime. The sale
to a man who is insane, or non compot
mentit, is a crime. A determined
prosecution of these offenses would
overwhelm the whole horde of liquor
sellers. But prohibitionists miss their
great opportunity in not prosecuting
adulterations. Au adulteration is a
fraud, and a fraud is always a crime.
Officers can go anywhere in search of
a fraud, and in this movement the
drinkers themselves would cheer on
the attack. A vigorous prosecution
of adulterations would give snch a
blow to the liquor traffic iu a year as it
will never get from the present
methods of prohibition. — Philadelphia

“Good evening, miss,” I blushing Mid,
For In my heart I knsw-
And, knowing, hung my pretty bead—
That Nellie came to woo.
Bha clasped my big, red hand, and fell
Adown upon her knee; ,
And cried: “You know I love you well,
So be my husband, please!”
And then ahe swore she’d ever be
A tender wife and true—
Ah, what delignt it was to me
That Nellie came to wool
She’d lace my shoes and darn my ho so.
Aud mend my shirts, she said.
And grease my comely Roman nose
Bach night on going to bed;
She’d build the fl*es and fetch the coal.
And split the kindling too—
Love’s perjuries o’trwhelraed her soul,
When Nellie came to woo.
Aud aa I, blushing, gave no cheek
To her advances rash,
.She twined her Arms about my neck
And toyed with my moustache;
And then she pleaded for a kiss.
While I what could Ido
But coyly field me to that hitas-
When Nellie came to woof

A gorgeous diamond ring.
And I shall wed my lover fair
Some time iu gentle spring.

And so. forsooth would you.

A GOOD MAN GONE WRONG.
In the course of a recent interview, sty*
the Augusta Chronicle find ('(institution
a list.. Major Camp’"*! I Wallace, o! tho
Georgia Railroad Commission, used the
following extraordinary language:
“I cannot and will not be mUunder
stood. The owners and lessees of the
railroads of Georgia have rikdits, and on
matter who these owners are, or where
they live, their rights mut not only be
respected but protected. The people
also have rights that demand respect and
protection. An utter cf a
proper respect for the appreciation of
these rights has drawn them almost en
masse to demand of the press a pp per
consideration of their erjnslify before the
law and a requirement of their legislative
representatives that they want laws within
the powers conferre 1 by the constitution
that will protect them Irom the further
encroach men ts of r lie moneyed pow r-
The disregard of these rights, not only n
Georgia but ali over the States of this
great nation, has beet me so palpable
that to-day neither the splendor, wealth
n *r as-umption of this new power in tbi
lmd affords them snv real protection.
Tis great government is not powerful
enough to protect them much longer, a.d
their only re I safety is in their fair dea -
ing with the musses, who are their oni\
pitrons an i who supply their life blood
by their labor and toil. Reach their
hearts and their judgment by proper and
kind consideration of what is due to them,
and ihey will then have h protec ion that
all the powers of all the nations on this
earth cannot fake away from them!*’
This is the lanauige of passion The
railway companies of this State ure-imply
aggregations of men who have invested
sin e sixty millions of dollars in a particu
lar business on the fai h of the State that
if they did so. they should enjoy the equal
protection of the laws. By legisla'ion
sprung suddenly upon die people, these
iipllio ,s have been deprived of the equal
protection ol the laws that was promised
them. While no other properly can be
affected save hy due process of iaw and
a'tcr a full hearing in the courts, this
particular species has been placed at the
absolute will ol three public functionaries
whose decrees ate matured iu secret con
clave and whose decisions arc beyond
appeal. Naturally the men whose
pr. pertv has been thus treated chafe a
the injury wt ich has been done thorn
And this complaint, s just and natural,
the acting chairman of the Geoi ia Rail
road Com mis ion :• ectswith vituperation
and menace. He speaks of the railroad
as anenoroaching moneyed power; accu-cs
them of opt ressirg the masses “who
supply their life blood by their lob r art!
their toil;" and, after this heated ex
ordium. plainly says that "this great
government is not powerful enough t<>
protect them much longer."
Language such as this iniifits M..jo
Wallace. Tho utterances themselves ur.
n>t new. C> tuniuniatic orators have
made them quite familiar, but never
belore has a public officer of the Slate of
Georgia taken up the same refrain
tsurely, the Georgia Railroad Commission
ia not girt about with such a divinity that
it is a blasphemy for the owrers of rail
road property to question the propriety
of the commission's rates. Any citizen
has tho r-ght "to apply to those vested
with the powers of government for re
dress ol grievances by petition or
remonstrance," and an exereie of this
franchise is certainly oo ground for
objurgation. In the palmy days of his
absolutism Fredt ric. the Great said
‘Let men s> what they will, so I ng a-
I can do what l will," and, inasmuch as
thv Georgia Railroad Commission has all
the absolute authority of the Prus ian
monarch, it might well imitate his
leniency and at least accord the railroads
liberty of speech. It is bad enough to
play king with their property, without
adding iDsult to injury hy overwhelming
them with reproaches when they com
plain Nero would kill a man's son, and
then invite the father to a banquet and
require him, on pain of beheading, to bo
as merry as any other of the guests.
Apart from the temper of Major Wal
lace’s interview, we contest its iacts It
is not correct to say that the people of
this State en masse demanded tbe creation
of a railroad commission. On the con
trary, it is well known that the idea of
this extraordinary body originated with
that other extraordinary body, the con
•titutionul convention of 1877, which
g*ve us an organic law that ia now, and
for the-e six years has been, at once the
laugl ing stock and stumbling-block of
the whol-i State. Since philosopher
Locke, in the retirement of his Lomi< a
closet, theorised out *’the fundamental
constitutions’ of South Carolina, which
well nigh strangled that commonwealth
in its cradle, thore has been no such
monstrosity known in the way of basic
legislation as that under which the people
of Georgia now ive. It is a miracle of
unOtaess. It is stuffed as full of novelties
as a xausage is of meat, and among the
novelties is the Railroad Commission
Who ever heard such a thing mooted
before the convention of 1877 n et?
Where is the executive message acorn
mending the creatiou of such a body, or
where the legislative bil contemplating
the passage of such a law? ITcho answers,
whore? The truth of history is that tha
Georgia Railroad Commission if like
Sara Bernhardt's baby, an aoe’dout: the
oil pring of opportunity and surprise.
