At the Opera House.
George Wilson and his splendid
trouple captured the audience at the
opera house on Monday night. Not
for a momtnt did the interest flag,
from the moment the curtain rose
until it was rolled down on the last
scene. Of course George Wilson was
the star, but there was a cluster of
bright stars around him. The songs
were exceptionally fine, especially
those by Will Walling. He has a
splendid voice, a voice full, sweet and
well modulated. 'The Kirmcesc
Gypsy dauce, was a novel, and inter
esting feature. ‘‘Swinging In the
Grape Vine Swing" caught the audi
ence.
It is impossible to delineate Wil

Torn Down.
The old house on Broad street
within the Piney Woods hotel grounds
was torn down yesterday. The build-
was an unprepossessing object,and the
space will he much more pleasant to
view than the old building.
The rejiort that Messers. G. A.
Wight ucd Bonn, of GViro, hud failed,
is happily untrue. At a .meeting of

well known responsibility of this firm

Additional Penalties.
It does not appear to us necessary
to impose additional penalties on
violations of the liquor laws in Geor
gia. It is more wise to see to the
enforcement of the present laws.
Until they are executed it seems the
highest of folly to add extra sections
to , the statues—additional penalties!
For selling liquor on Sunday during
a year what are the present penalties?
The seller can be imprisoned for
seventy-eight years and fined $52,-
OOli. He can also he fined by the
Mayor *5.-00 and imprisoned 1,5G0
days. Dui. ; °g the term of imprison
ment the culpr.’’ can be raado to serve
on the chain gang for most of the
time. Arc additional penalties
needed? No, officers who will enforce
the present laws are more needed than
severe penalties.—Savannah Daily
limes.
Wo have enough laws in existence
if they were properly enforced.
Another Rascally Scheme.
E. W. B. writes as follows *to the
Constitution from Washingtion :
“There is some talk among repub
licans of incorporating a clause in the
reapportioumont bill, providing that
congress shall redistrict the states and
not the state legislature. Speaker
Reed is said to be the author of this
scheme. If it is attempted the fight
over it will bo more hitter, perhaps,
than over-the force bill. It would
deprive the states of their rights, and
tho people would not stand it. How
ever, the republicans feel this to be
their hist opportunity, and they are
ready to accept anything however
partisan.”
The republicans are in a desperate
strait and they will hesitate at noth
ing which promises to continue their
income.
Grangers Out of Politics
Washington, Doc. 1.—William
Sanders of the national grange is just
back from Georgia. He said to-day:
“The south is moving farward
rapidly ns the west-, ever did. The
grange and thejfarmers’jfalliance ^ are
entirely distinct in every way. The
alliance is giving its time to polttical
work, but the grangers are raising
crops and prospering thereby. By
and by the alliance will be doing the
same thing and wondering what it did
with nil the valuable time that, has
bepu lost. The grangers are not dip
ping into politics as a body, but they
arc paying little attention to matters
of political economy.”
Parnell lias been dropped, and is
110 longer leader of the Irish party,
He lias made a game fight for poor
Ireland, but, like Lucifer, lie fell from
his high estate. We will hope, how
ever, that lie has not fallen as low as
did Lucifer.
Mr. Graves lias introduced a dog
law. We haven’t the pleasure of a
speakiug acquaintance with Mr.
Graves, but we beg to nssurc’ him of
our distinguished consideration.
The ghost of the betterment ques
tion hobs up again in the legislature.
Georgia statesmen will perspire over
it next summer. It will hardly be
touched nt the present session.
The ministers of Atlanta are grave
ly discussing and considering the
question of church lairs and festivals.
It is thought that the festivals will
not be abolished.
The Rev. Dr, Howard Crosby, in a
late address in New York on “Restric
tive Legislation.” said he belonged to
that class which did not believe in car
rying legislation upon the liquor ques
tion to the extremity of prohibition,
but lie believed in punishing the drunk
ard. We place the thief, the slander
er and the murderer, he said, “in the
pentientiary and coddle the drunkard.I
would have a law so framed that every
man, no matter to what family he
might belong, who should be found
drunk upon the street, should be iin.
prisioned for one month the first lime,
two months for the second offense,
and I would add a month each time
for each offense.”

Harrison’s message fills up two col
umns. It would take tweuty eight
columns to explain, to the satisfaction
ot the republicans, the defeat in No
vember. The g. o. p. hasn’t got
through rubbing its eyes yet. They
will have them opened in 1892.
Harrison’s message is pronounced
by the press very common place.
He defends the tariff bill and insists
that the fotce bill he passed. The
people have repudiated Loth these
measures.
The republican senators have de
termined to press the force bill. It
was probably called up yesterday.
The democrats will fight it to the last.
The Brady bill in a now form has
bobbed up in the senate. It reliev
the farmer from paying for guai
when I10 says it did not do any good
I’ay the members of the legislature
a regular salary. It ought to be $200
per annum And then let them stay
in session as long as lliey please.
Why should the poor people be dc
prived of a bit of fresh air on Sunday?
The Sunday excursion bill should lie
largely modified.
Monday was largely lost as a le;
islativc day on account of the absence
of members. Is there no way to stop
this?
Tho finance committee of the legis
lature have fixed the rate of the state
tax for the ensuing year, at 2). mills
The slate road will be formallv turn
