Our council could do a good deal now by lighting up the street xvitli some nice street lamps. Everything of that kind shows the progress of the town and con* sequently builds it up and draws trade from abroad. THE JUSTICE OF PROHIBITION. AVe fear that some men who avow them¬ selves theoretical prohibitionist* or prohi¬ bitionists from moral suasion and princi¬ ple. have not thoroughly examined t heir position and its consequences, or they would change their tactics and cither he more reasonable or, become open advocates o' promiscous rum selling. Several Ynonths ago, a writer for one of our daily paper,*, assumed a gravity and soriousiess iu discussing prohibition, which will rend ]y vanish when examined in the light of reason. In the outset, ho wisely admits that “the evils of intemperance are xvoful ly patent” and that bar-rooms exert a de moralLing influence scarcely need proof. Continuing it is advanced that moral sua¬ sion is the only right remedy; contending that forre when used in regard to what a man shall eat, drink or wear without of tence toolhers, is tyrannical and unjust. When this question is considered more canlully, Ihere can arise no reasonable doubt to an unbalsed mind as to the jus¬ tice of prohibition. Indeed very few per¬ sons arc found arguing the justice of pro¬ hibition, for to advanced society it is self evident. But some need evidence of even self-evident facts. In this short discuss¬ ion it may become necessary to state some very .elementary principles, with wlpch none are unfamiliar; but the nature of the subject,being elementary,like two and two make four, necessarily require absurd ex¬ planations. The object of government and hence legislation is to protect society which iu its turn was formed for the pro¬ tection and benefit of individuals. To en¬ joy this benefit and protection, ; the Indi¬ vidual must so conduct himself a3 not to wound his benefactor. So long as his con qupt does not materially injure society, he is at liberty to act as lie pleases; and this is what constitutes civil liberty, not as crudely expressed “what he shall eat, drink or wear.” When an action overleaps the boundaries of this liberty and tends to injure society, it is clearly subject to the jurisdiction of government. It is the duty of government not only to protect society against evils tending to degrade and de¬ moralize it but also to govern with a view to its tiplifting and refinement The writer in question says that eating drinking and wearing, when done in such a way as Dot to interfere with the rights of others, are not subject to legislation. Very well put. indeed, hut surely not suiting the nature of the temperance questfbn. But even admitting it, is the statement wholly true? Supposing that each indi¬ vidual can drink liquor, without direct in¬ jury to any other persons, is the legisla¬ ture powerless, on seeing that the indi¬ vidual members constituting society are degrading themselves and becoming far less fit to perform the duties of a citizen and make good goverment certain? We hardly think so. Were China to exterm! nate by legislation the opium habit which is tending to national ruin, we dare say tliat the citizens of Georgia and all right miuded men would heartily rejoice. In the United States the sale of opium is regulat¬ ed by, and opium smoking is under the most emphatic condemnation of, the gov¬ ernment, Surely, tlic writer would say, a free born American citizen with his every pocket chock-full of liberty, has the right toset himself down and smoke opium un¬ til a dog would pity him. We don’t ascribe to American liberty any such in dulgeneies. Why? Simply, but not sole¬ ly, because it renders individuals unfit to perform the duties of citizensor members of society. Were there only one man, or a few. or several, who were thus rendered unfit for duties, the question, considered under this light, assume a very different wec r t : f or government would BOt iceog nize a trifle of this kind sImply for the protection of the individual, where it ef foctfcd neither society nor others, But where the number U sufficient to material \y hurt society by their inability to do right or rather their inclination to do I «r°“g, then government has aright to I interfere But as the writer says -the question ts reallv not so simple a one as at first seems, or rat | 1Pr a »he lias attempted to make it. H |s bv no means admitted that liquor drinking relates only to individuals. But r. zx THE DREADED LONSftMP TION CAN BE CORED. T. A. Slocum, M. C., the Gr«at ChomUt Scientist.

So it does; Yet a little thought would readi¬ ly reveal that this is perhaps the least of all the drunkard’s climes tl-hich interfere with civil relations. There) are thousands of hurts arising out of the crime of drink¬ ing destroying the rights nijd happiness of others, which the government Iws been unable to reach on account, of thelrobscur ity. If it is possible to rejnedy those in¬ juries by striking at the Very head and source of the trouble, that)is, y regulat¬ ing tho sale of liquor the (government not only has the right hut is 'duly bound to protect these civil relations of which it is tlic guardian. The law fieniands of tlie husband a decent support! ; 0 rhis family, upon tho violation of which a punishment ensues.

There are good arguments which demand consideration and respect both for and against either local option or universal law. Bui 1 merely wished to establish the justice of prohibition. ATMOG.
