OUR ATLANTA LETTER. Atlanta, Oct 28.—[Special.]—Just now Atlanta is prohibition or nothing We dream prohibition, we write it we- read it, we talk it we do all but drink it A reporter seeking! Dr. Tucker in the precincts of the editorial room of the In dex, asks him if he had seen the inter- riow with Dr. Hawthorne, printedinyes- erdoy’s Journal. “Yes, I have seen it.” “Have you anything to say in reply?” “No, let it go as it is; I am satisfied.” He thon terminated tbUgjnterview by tho remark: “Hera tho interview ends." It is interesting to note, in this connec tion, that st tho election of 1885 Dr. Tucker, failing to secure a carriage walk ed a couple of miles to deposit his vote for prohibition and took two or three persons with him. TBS MOUNTAIN WQNDEB WST. Alf.Prater, the mountain wonder, says he;ts going to vote tho wet ticketjbecauae ho saved bis mother's life dqring a spell of illness with a quart of pure mountain juice. Tho womans’ prohibition club is hard at work and at a recent meeting deter mined to proride 50,000 blue-badges and to organize the Sunday schools. The prohibitionists czpress regret that their bill for the procuiemcnt of liquor for medicinal purposes failed to mss the i ' to attend | . kina reviewed tboreaulto of prohibition, and said it had prohibited enough to show that if prohibitionists kept pegging away it will prohibit Ho said that if the law against murder had been treated like the prohibition law, half tho crowd pres ent would have been killed. Ho ridiculed the personal liberty “bosh” aa he termed it, and cited a pro hibition law enacted in Georgia in 1791. He dwelt with almost tragic effect upon tho reasons why the enti-probibi- tionists decide not to, wear badges. Bev. E It. Carter, a colored minister, was railed for tnd made a speech of some length, ridiculing tho idea that the ne groes were going for whisky. Hia beat hit waa in making the distinc tion between personal liberty and civil liberty. Ho raid the constitution guar anteed civil liberty, bat not personal lib erty. Adam was the only man who over enjoyed personal liberty, and when Era came he parted with some of it. Among other things Judge Hiltyer said: In April] 1885, the number of those who owned freeholds in Atlanta was 4,477. A similar count for 1887, two years afterwards—two yean of the work ing of prohibition—shows tbst 5,145 persons owned freeholds. (Grrat ap plause. TEACHERS RESIGN.

THE U* S- TREASURY BEING POURED INTO THE LAP OF THE SOUTH ERN COUNTRY. Telegraph Offices to be Closed—The Alberta Cost—Titc Flying Sub- Treasury Clerk—A Ilroil In Louisville-Other Flushes Front tho Wires. Small Coin Coming Southward. New York, Oct.. 28.—[Spccial.J—To day I interviewed Mr. Scherer, the cash ier of the New York sub.treasury of tho United States, as to.the recent move ments of small coin. “Up to two years ago,” said he, “we had so much money in the sub-treasury that we were encum bered with it. We lacked room to keep it. But now all that is changed. Money goea out from New York without find ing its way back, and we are bard,put to meet the demands of trade, and a great deal of it ingoing South. “A bank in New Orleans for example," he continned, “finds a lack of currency to meet the demands there,as it informs, its agent here, who arranges with ns for it, directly or indirectly. It directly, a cheque is given on the sab-treasury at New Orleans. Th'e result is money is shipped from this distributing point to that one. Wo sent coin to Now Or leans to-day. We sent coin there yester day, and the day before.” “What denominations are most in de mand for these shipments?” “Nearly always the smaller denotui nations. For example, we tnve Nome $600,000 in 25-cent pieces to New Or leans and St. Louis together within the past four months. A great deal of small coin goes, of course, to other point* of tho south and west than to New Orleans; but this movement will show tho direc tion of money shipments, especially ship ments of small coin.” “And what significance do you at tach to this?” “I means, of course,” the cashier re died, “that there is great activity in all ;inds of business, especially.retail busi ness, in the south. It tells the story of an increasing interchange of goods, of more trade and more kinds of trade. And since these shipments of money no longer find their way back to New York, it is plain that money being isjinvestcdin the sections where it is distributed. It stays there, is paid in wages, is spent at the stores and finds its way at last, not back north again, as it formerly did, but into permanent and prosperous forms of local inrestment* ltia turning itself ov er and over again there, not, making ihe old trip back north. It is and indication of the increasing local prosperity of the country.” An EditorBrulaed. Louibyillb, Ky., Oct. 28.—[Special.]— Yesterday afternoon a street encounter took place between Judge Fleming and Mr. DuPont, proprietor of the Com mercial. That paper bad been making editerial reference to Judge Fleming and in one or^two instances it was quite of fensive. He requested that it be stopped, but as it was not; on meeting Dupont in tho street he attacked him with a cane, cutting and bruising his face badly. Friends interfered and •topped the row, but more trouble is feared. The Sub.Trcaeury Clerk in Canada. New York, Oct. 28.-—[Special.]—H. *’»" j-—U. M.
