These men go to Yashington and ask congress for irotection for American labor, and lien bring over Hungarians, Poles ,ml Bulgarians, and all the scum 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 cent parties and the country at large did not also have to suffer, we would sav to these corporations, reap what you have sown! The 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 mission of the Socialists, it is only necessary to publish the following, to cause the people of our law-abid ing and Christian government to re coil from them with horror: — | . . | warn, n risngei ..J.I., I ills drivel tickles thousands of, ,M»i ,r Bacon is another undisputed i ... ,, people and Most has more followers than . «t a temen'.

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! "AMKKKAN WORKINGMEN* AUE CAI.LEIl I’lKIS TO AKM Til KM SELVES. “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 lanta ring The whisky ring is making a strong fight in congress for the re peal or amendment of the interr.'al revenue laws.

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. Clocks, JEWELER.
