re, in a great measure, responsible

Yashington and ask congress for
irotection for American labor, and
lien bring over Hungarians, Poles

if Europe they can buy, to cheapen
a hot. These heartless monopolists
richly merit the trials through which
they are now passing, and it inno

would sav to these corporations,

Socialistic riots of this week
Chicago should teach our people a
lesson, and we hope to see the most
stringent laws passed in relation to
future immigration. While we wel
come to our shpres good and law-
abiding additions to our population,
we should put a quietus on the im
portation of serf labor and agitators
of every kind. There is not a foreign
ship that touches at an American
port lint discharges fresh material
for bloodshed and disorder, and ad
vantage is thus taken of our free
government and liberal laws to
to make this country the
harbor and spawning place for
Anarchists, Socialists, Nihilists,
Communists and every other
infamous creed looking to the de
struction ol all government and the
prostitution of society. We are
now beginning to reap the fruits of
our foolish hospitality, and unless
some decided check is placed on the
insuriectionists now among us, and
our ports closed igainst the further
introduction of s :ch characters, the
outrages of the past few days in
Chicago are but muttering* ol the
coming storm. The minds and
hearts of our home laborers are be
ing inoculated by the depraved and
poisonous doctrines of these foreign-
firs, and our government owes it to
the protection of this class ot its
population, as well as its own de
fense, that a scrutinizing check be
placed on future immigration. And
when such disturbers as August
Spies and John Most ’step upon our
soil, let officers of the law at once
arrest and return them in irons to
their home governments, with the
information that we have no rooan
for such cattle in America; and
when such scenes as have disgraced
Chicago are again at’empted, the
citizens should swing the leaders
to the first lamp post. A few such,
lessons would teach these cowardly
curs a most valuable lesson, and
save the lives of innocent people
To show our readers the creed and

have so far degenerated as to invite
and insist on a visitor to the town
accepting a short hospitality at their
hands, and then, as if begrudging
their liberality, publish the fact to
the world and remind said guest ol
the courtesy they extended
him. We are far too warm a friend
to the citizens of Lexington, and
hold the proud name ot the old
town in too high esteem, to sup
pose, for an instant, that any of the
associates ot the editor of this
paper guilty of such an out
rageous and shameful breech of
hospitality, that we never heard of
being practiced except in negro
cabins and by the untutored savage.
Besides, as is a well-known fact,
our doors have ever stood open to
our Lexington friends, when they
visit Athens, and we would be only
too glad to return any courtesy
shown us with interest. The At
lanta Constitution published only
an extract from our Lexington let
ter. If the article is read in full it
will be seen that, as heretofore, we
spoke of Lexington and its people
in the kindest manner, and predict
ed that the town was preparing to
take a new lease on life and pro
gress. Mr. W. A. Stewart and
other representative citizens of
Lexington stated that they never
heard an unlavorable comment on
our article, and it was received in
the right spirit. We do not pro
pose to insult our Lexington friends
by further discussing a matter that
causes the hospitable and refined
people ol the place to appear in a
light that no one who knows their
character can believe.
PROHIBITION AND FANATICISMS.
Socialism has existed in many ages and
countries under many names. Whether
right or wrong, a few bold spirits will al
ways ne found to tight and protest against
the inequality of society. What do the
socialists want? Their demands have
been embodied in a platform which has
been adopted liy many trade and labor as
semhlies. It is as follows:
First—Destruction of the existing
class rule by all means, i. e., by energetic,
relentless, revolutionary and internation
al action.
Second—Establishment of a free soci
ety. based upon co-operative organization
of production.
Third—Free exchange of equivalent
products by and between the produc
tive organizations without profitmon-
gerv.
Fourth—Organization of education on
a secular, scientific and .-qual basis for
both sexes.
Fifth—Equal rights for all, without
distinction of race and sex.
Sixth—Regulations of all public af
fairs by free contracts between the au
tonomous independent communes and
associations resting on a federalists ba
sis.
These revolutionists are against God as
well as against human authority.
One eminent socialist says: “1 reverse
the phrase of Voltaire, and do not hesitate
to say that if God existed it would be
be necessary to abolish him!” Although
they differ in many things, on this they
are agreed: "That the revolution can
only he accomplished by force.” An ar
ticle in a recent number of a socialistic
journal published in Chicago, 111., is
headed:
“TO ARMS!

“An Old Soldier Ettersa Cry ofWarning.
There is no denying the fact that
the tide seems to be turning on pro
hibition, and one defeat after an
other has lately met the great cause
that a few months ago carried all
before it. This change in public
sentiment is not attributed to any
failure on the part of prohibition to
do all that was expected of it (for
the results are even greater than the
most sanguine adherents claimed
tor it, in decreasing drunkenness
and crime), but rather to the intol
crant and dictatorial spirit mani
fested by the victorious prohibition
ists in some counties, coupled with
a lethargy on their part now that
they feci the battle is so nearly won.
This will not do. To retain public
sentiment the prohibitionists must
use their powers with leniency,
and be guilty of no act that
can be tortured into oppression
against the vanquished clrss, or an
infringement on the rights ot a free
citizen. The slightest error in either
of these directions will do more
than all the maebin'itions of the
anti’s to bring back liquor. Again,
the prohibitionists, seem to think
that one triumph is sufficient, and
hence grow lax and careless, often
leaving the field almost undisputed
to the liquor men, who never fail to
take advantage of the opportunity
to lay their wires for the next con
test. The great cause is to-day
threatened on every side, and dis
aster can only be averted by cool-
headed conservatism and renewed
and determined effort. Prohibition
must pass through a political seige,
and there is always danger of the
measure being drawn into the
whirlpool of politics; we have too
ir.anv cowards in our ranks, ready
Vo go over to the enemy at the first
change in public sentiment; we have
extremists and fanatics to keep
down, and weak brothers to stimu-
latcand strengthen in heart. It would
have been far better for a town or
county never to vote prohibition if
they permit King Alcohol to again
capture the throne. The reaction
sure to follow is always freighted
with greater excesses than at first
prevailed. Now is the time for
prohibitionists to exert every power,
for real danger is upon them.
The next twelve months will for
ever settle the liquor question in
Georgia.
The
General’s backers are-men who have
■never as yet tailed to control the
politics of Georgia, and the result
of the pending election will decide
whether the people or a small band
of political wire-pullers at the Cap
ital shall rule our state. We do not
in the slightest blame the gentlemen
forming this political syndicate in
Atlanta for controlling the govern
ment and dictating public officers,
if the voters permit them, and there
is not a town or city in the state but
what would like to possess a sim
ilar power. But we do say, shame
on any people who will meekly
submit to such petty tyranny! Since
the day that Joseph E. Brown was
seated in the United States senate
over the decided protest of our rep
resentatives in the legislature, he
has been the headreentre of a coa
lition of influential politicians, or
ganized for the purpose of control
ling the affairs of our state, and the
success of this ring has been most
wonderful. Emboldened by re
peated victories, they now set about
to defeat the nomination of Major A.
O. Bacon, and to this end imported
from Florida that gallant soidier
Gen. John B. Gordon, with the ex
pectant hope that his brilliant war
record would blind the eyes of the
intelligent voters to the true inward
ness ot his candidacy. Bur we be
lieve that this time the old Atlanta
ring has counted without its host,
and the people will throw off a gall
ing political yoke under which they
have so long chafed. Georgia has
honored Gen. Gordon, and his val-
liant services to his country is one
of her proudest boasts; but she will
not consent to do a grave injustice
to an equally gallant son that he
may continue to reap honors. It is
not Gen. Gordon that the intelli
gent democrats object to, but they
don’t like the way he is being
spread on. If Gordon does succeed
in defeating liacon the democratic
party of our state had as well abolish
conventions, and delegate the power
of selecting officers to the great At

Soma of tha Remarkable Feats Performed
bp Indian FaJdri.
It is a mistake to think that the
snakes are always harmless which
are brought round to house doors
and hotels in India by the jugglers
and samp wallahs, writes G. A. Sala.
An almost universal opinion exists
that these men extract the poison
fangs from the serpents in their bas
kets, and that anybody may ap
proach and play with them as freely
as their exhibitors. This is by no
means the case, and many of the
reptiles which hiss and coil about in
the Indian verandahs are as deadly
as any to be found in the jungle.
These people tame ftnd familiarize
their snakes, especially the cobras,
which are then disinclined to strike
and become quite playful and friend
ly, so that, unless suddenly
frightened or irritated; they dart
at the hand of the snake charmer
without erecting the poison fangs or
even opening their mouths. It
would, however, be different and
very dangerous if a stranger trifled
with some of these basketed ser
pents, and the samp wallahs them
selves occasionally fall victims to the
recklessness of confidence with
which they handle their captures.
The maharajah ot Benares was
kind enough to send the entire com
pany of his palace jugglers for our
entertainment. They performed
with much adroitness the psual se
ries of Hindoo tricks. They made
the mango tree hear ripe fruit from
a seed, swallowed fire and swords,
disentangled inextricable knots, and,
having mixed together in water and
drunk up three powders—red, green
and yellow—one ot them brought
what seemed the same powders
forth from his mouth in a dry state
sgatp. Then they produced a large
selection of snakes, of which three
were cobras, and one of these was
mode to dance to the gourd and
bansula, striking again and again
meanwhile at the hand of the per
former. A doubt being expressed
by somebody as to the lethal power
of this creature, the chief juggler
declared it was truly a dant wallah
and had its poison teeth. “If the
saheb dog would supply a sheep or
goat, they might quickly see wheth
er he spoke a true word.” Eventu
ally a white chicken was produced,
and seizing the cobra by the neck,
the juggler pinched its tail, and
made it bite the poor fowl, which
uttered a little cry when the sharp
tooth punctured its thigh. But,
being replaced on the ground, the
chicken began to pick up rice with
unconcern, apparently uninjured.
In about four minutes, however,
it ceased moving hither and thither,
and began to look sick. In two
minutes more it had dropped its
beak upon the ground, and was ev
idently paralyzed and unable to
breathe freely. In another minute
it fell over upon its side, and was
dead with convulsions within ten
minutes after the bite. At Pahlau-
per, the snake charmer for whom
we sent to catch a serpent, said to
be infesting the compound; had just
died by a bite from one ot his own
captive snakes.
