Business in Atlanta must he in a fearfully
depressed condition, when her politicians
arc engaged by day and night, repeating
stale temperance lectures, and all the popu
lation compose tho audience. There lias
not been a novel idea advanced, even by
Pledger or Bryant.
’’The Atlanta Constitution says: “Thirty
years ago Georgia sent Walter T. Colquitt
to the body that his son is now a popular
and honored member of.” But Georgia
did not send the son. Ho got there by some
lingger-amuggery with tho tally sheet, and
is neither honored nor popular with people
who know him.
The New Y'ork Times is gloomy as to the
future of the “grand old party." It says:
“Between the Blaine men upon one side
and the Stalwarts upon the other, ready to
stab its candidates in the back, the Repub
lican party in the State of Now Y’ork can
ltardly expect to win in another election
until the generation now active in politics
Las passed away."
The constitutional editor of the Atlanta
Constitution snys of the live Governors of
Georgia: “There are James S. Boynton,
Alircd H. Colquitt, James M. Smith, Benja
min Conley, Rufus R. Bullock, General
Thomas H. Ruger, James Johnson and
Joseph E. Brown." Conley and Boynton
were never Governors of Georgia, but how
about John Pope. .
What’s in a name is answered. Brother
B .ireliant, who defeated Ylr. Blaine for the
f residency, is in another scrape for recant
mending n thieving negro for a servant to
one of his huly acquaintances, and another

not the certainty, that prohibition will he

The efforts of St. John ami his followers

Presidential election, as the late elections
in Ohio nnd New York demonstrate.
Preachers and many Christian people are
moving in the temperance cause. At pres
ent they have no idea of going into politics,
hut in the end they will lie driven into tho
dirty business.
Atlanta may think that she is monopoliz
ing attention by the windy discussion now
at its height there, hut this is a mere inci
dent of the movement. •
On last Sunday there were one thonsand
sermons preached upon this subject in
thirty-five dioceses of the Episcopal Church.
This church is at present devoting its
energies to high license. The New York
Sun says:
Temperance Sunday was established as an experi
ment to forward the work of tbe Church Temperance
Society. This wsa started tn the Episcopal Church
four years ago. aud has sluce extended through
thirty-live dioceses. It aims to unite both moderate
drinkers aud total ahstalucre in the work of rooting
out tuteuperauce. To aecure this end tho society
has drafted a new high license hill, which will bo
submitted to the Legislature as soon sa it meets.
The bill requires sellers of distilled liquors to pgy
$1,090 license fee, amt each seller of fermented
liquors to pay $100. It prohibits the sale of liquor
lu tenement bouses, its sale on Sunday excursion
boats, and its sale on any day to minors or habitual
drunkards. It makes cx-eonvlcts ineligible for the
business of liquor-selling, mud provides that no
liquor shall be sold for a year in any premises
where liquor has ever been sold without a Recuse or
where the license has been revoked.
In the meantime, the Republican party is
looking for a new issue, the bloody shirt
having lost its prestige. The plan of thin,
party is thus sketched in n Washington
special:
Some of the Republican leaders who think the
issues that have heretofore separated parties lto
longer form the dividing lines they ouco did and
that their organization cannot be successfully
maintained on historical traditions, favor a
departure. They want a question to excite tho
moral sense of the country as the shivery agitation
did xud which will enlist from the outset the
support of mothers, wives and daughters.
Teutpermuce is the chosen Issue which they pro
pose to make, claiming that it la a platform which
needs no explanation aud which baa already at
tained large Importance In rnauy States in different
tonus. These lcvdet-s contend that it wonld entire-
re-move eeetfonal controversy from polltlca and
enable the North and South to meet on common
ground ss the advocates of a great reform In which
they have a common Interest.
In the two great States of Kansas and Iowa tho
temperance men claim to have established a solid
foundation for their cause, which only needs wise
direction to give It a mighty momentum all over
the West. Mistakes have been made from over-zeal
and from Imperfect leadership, which can be easily
corrected.
The South Is alleged to be favorably Inclined to
the plan ' In Oeorgia more than half tho eountica
the State have adopted ‘-local option," which is
also extending in the Carullnaa End in other States.
New England Is fully prepared to Join la the move
ment.
Tho Republican party claims, to bo the
party of great moral itleits, anil to have been
led $o victory by “Christian statesmen.
Much of its strength wus derived front tho
Northern Methodist Chnrch, and many of
its outrages upon public liberty and per
sonal rights were committed under -tho
cloak of what was termed religion.
An attempt will be made to divide the
South juat as the Democratic party has
come into power and inaugurated reform in
tho government.
The negro, disfranchised to a large extent
by a default in tuxes, is to he politically re
habilitated by having his back scores set
tled with money from the North.
Many of the politicians at tho Sonth who
have held power by a coalition with ne
groes and Republicans, seeing that they
ore to be disarmed, will seek to save them
selves by joining the prohibition ernsade,
and others who hare been disappointed nnd
are ambitions will join in the hope that
they may be remembered in the division of
the spoils.
A Dangerously rrulltable Profession.
Tho Atlanta Constitution of yesterday
contributes this special from Birmingham
under date November 10
••your correspondent naked Her. Barely Brawn,
the First Methodist Cbnrcb, how much was paid
Mr. Jones for two weeks" services here, telling him
it wae not Improjier to publish It. He replied:
The committee handed Mr. Jones a check for
one thousand dollars Just before he left Wo
not think any money value can be placed on the
services rendered. Uia work was Invaluable
this city."
When asked what was paid Bam Small. Mr. Drown
replied:
-Yon remember that Mr. Jones announced
that large congregation that he wae going to taka
up a collection for Brother HmaU~tbe first one that
bad been taken up for him. Well, when all the tU-
ver in all the hate was emptied iuto one pile,
amounted in bulk to about a pack, aud tn value
Just four hundred and seventy dollars, every cent
of which was given to Mr. Small. It was with
gret that our people parted with the distinguished
revivalists, as It is believed the meeting could have
been carried on another w eek with no abatement of
interest.-'
YVc have no objection to Sam’a earning a
fine salary in the profession he is so rapidly
building up. For the most part the money
comes oat of the sinners and would Ire
worse spent. What we do object to is tho
selfishness of these professional revivalists
and their evident determination to monop-
lize all the Sunday Lit vincas to the exclu
sion of other enterprises that the world has
long since indorsed as necessary nnd
proper.
Y’ery recently the two Sams inaugurated
a Var on the sale of newspapers in Birming
ham nnd succeeded after a sharp campaign
in breaking np the bnsiness. It became
impossible to bny a paper in that city npon
Sunday. This is hardly fair and leaves the
revivalists in an unenviable position. If
Rev. Hardy Brown is correctly quoted Sum
worked for money upon Samlny and got iL
Of coarse he is entitled to the wages of a
fsirly good laborer in the vineyard and
the Ultorer is worthy of his hire, but when
a man is paid at the rate of $71.50 per day
for one Sunday's work, it does not lie with
him to trample npon the poor editor who
seeks to spread the world's news before the
decades.'^.Especially is the conduct of the
two Sams to be regretted, when it is re
membered that the very journal assaulted
had assisted to bui id them np and contained
perhaps, the 8unday programme laid out
by the popular combination.
For tho sake of immunity, we trust a
ital error will bo unearthed nnd this charge
fall to the ground. Perhaps the two Sams
give away their earnings to the heathen os
fast as received, and do not trust it lo the
tender mercies of an Atlanta savings bonk,
rumored.
Rev. George J. Mingina, a New York re
vivalist, said t*i Sunday:
If there Is an abomination on the earth," he
ealtl. ‘‘it is a close-fisted saint—each as a minister
who gets all ho can and keeps all he gets. God and
the angels must despise such a mao.''
Of course be had no reference to his two
enerprising Georgia contemporaries, but
we quote him to show how chnrch men
are regarded who get rich too fast. Seven
ty-one dollars and n half is too much money
to he paid to Sam Jones for a day's work,
and thirty-five is too mnch for Sam Small!
It discourages the old reliable work-
tbe vineyard and 'sug
gests the thought that perhaps this evidence
of success in the now field mny set nit thor
editors to preaching and break tip t! '
papers altogether. But then ns we nn
gested; perhaps nil the money goes to the
heathen. Editors will not prench if they
ill have to jtny their salaries to tho heathen.
Two Great Experiments.
In the results of the elections which took
place on the 3d instant may be soon tho
failure of two gTent experiments. YVe refer
more especially to the elections in New York
and Y’irginin, thongh the shadow of these
failures fell across other commonwealths.
It was a familiar boast, a short while
since, that there was yet four years’ of good
stealing in the bloody shirt—that is, another
Republican President. The energy and
enthnsiasm which this belief inspired nre
mnttera of history, ns is also tho result,
which left the Republican party in
the lurch. Rut failure never destroyed
hope. Tho “grand old party" having real
ized its erAr laid its heads together and
ngreed to search the skirts of the renowned
gnjpent for smaller game. YY'bcrc once a
President lay they looked for n stray gov
ernor, secretary, or treasurer, bnt looked
in vain. Shake it, spread it out, reverse it
ns they might, the result was the same. The
political treasury of two decades was empty
from cuff to cuff, from seam to gusset. A
week since it dropped from their hands into
the dust—gutted. The experimental search
had foiled, and the critical moment hod
glided by.
About the time the Republican par
ty began this lost costly experiment
the chief executive of the Democrats be
gan his. The experiment consisted in an
attempt to reform politics with tho men
who had made politics disreputable and tho
civil service a farce. Tho idea seems to
have been to make the rascals who had for
twenty years robbed, oppressed nnd in
sulted the Southern peoplo repent and be
come law abiding, close-mouthed citizens
by holding a sword over their official heads.
It was supposed that this would please the
Democratic party, especially the great South
and create an unbounded enthnsiasm for
tho administration, beside bnilding np a
fine civil service. This experiment may bo
likened unto a plan to take a pirate ship
into port and use it with the old crew for
the export of bullion.
In this experiment the Freahlent has been
ably assisted by deserters from the office-
holding party. They have assisted with
counsel and have reassured him when the
whispered mntterings of his own* followers
became thunderous. They tamed their
weapons against his friends and bade him
be of good cheer, while the great experi
ment, viz., the running of a Democratic ad
ministration with Republican office-holders,
had time to prove itself.
The time came and the experiment failed.
The outside counsellors have been hurled
overboard, and the President stands fnee to
face with his' own party, thoroughly con
scious that in this day and generation there
arc hut two sides to politics, and no space
between.
The hardest problem of to-day is the prob
lem of rent and homes in great cities."
As to the extent of the evil in Massa
chusetts the preacher is a better judge than
we. There is no donbt hut that his position
is strong and his words worthy of consider
ation. The family is the typo of the State.
There cannot be deceit, neglect nnd t renchery
in the majority of homes, aud good govern
ment in the State, it is the abwnce of tbio
home and family feature of which Ylr.
Ilayne.i complains that makes the negro
population unreliable nnd dangerous.
Says the Nashville American: “The Sonth
does not ask for mnch. Give her nt least
her own country postmasters nnd her own
deputy marshals."
The Philadelphia Press says: “They kiss
by the aid of the telephone nt Ylncon, Gn.
This wouldn't suit in our latitude; not sub
stance enough to it.”
YV. G. George, the famous English foot-
mcer, has arrived in this country. He is
not a nobleman, will not lecture in this
country nor write a book about it. Dear
George, welcome!
Tobacco growing hi s become nn imjior-
tnnt industry in YViscousiu, nnd so not a
little comment has been provoked by tho
'action of the Methodist conferences censur
ing those who grow or sell tobacco.

passed tho point where arrogance will do
just ns well ns humility. In the fntnre this
party will have to ask the votes of even col
ored men. The demand has played ont.

Homeless,
Rev. E. J. Haynes said to a Boston andi-
nice on Sunday, that “it was one of tho
danger* of our life that so many prosper
ous young men are declining the burdens
of domesticity. In hotels, in boarding
hnnsea, in all the gnat caravansaries, you
see the rich young man neglecting the
woman who should be walking in purity at
bis side. There is nothing so dangerous to
the Anglo-Saxon blood as homelessness.
The old race is dying out of Massachusetts
Kansas is the New England of to-day; the
new Vermont ia in Minnesota. Oh, that
yon wonld think about home, rich yonng
man, and establish one. There is no cure
so good for the foolish craze for fashion in
the mind of the y onng American girl as to
get to be on terms of hopeful intimacy ami
wooing with a sensible, l rugnl minded, and,
in this sense, rich yonng man. All the
great questions of sociology take their root
in home. No man can take an interest in the
school system until he sees his boys going to
be educated; no man can take an interest in
the streets of a city, and in the trouble
about the dram shop until he sees his own
children passing through those streets.
lVhen his children tonch the pavement of a
city, the father worships the ground that
city is built npon. Nothing so helps a man
in spiritual apprehension as to have a pru
dent and sensible,God-fearing yonng woman
for his wifq. God save that city from which
the homes are disappearing. No man, until
he has wedded a good woman, takes upon
his heart the burdens of citizenship. YVhat,
now, can the rich yonng man do inethese
respects? Somehow he still help to solve
this problem. Ha may remove the prohibi
tion pot npon home life by the high rents
of the city. Perhaps he will carry ont a
scheme for establishing hnmble homes for
The St. Louis Globe-Dcinocrot conveys a
broad hint in this hypothetical case nnd
question; “A young man comes frent the
country or country town to the city, know
ing nobody. The churches and Sunday-
schools are open two or three times a week
only, bnt on the first occasion, cherishing a
recollection of the chnrch at home, he goes,
and the chances are that, being a stranger,
he is either pnssed nnnoticetl or is treated
with ordinary politeness. He hears an
nouncements of fairs nnd festivals for the
bcneSt of various objects; he goes
to some of these, bnt finds himself little
nearer forming acquaintances than be
fore, for such occasions are commonly
sociable only within a certain circle, to
which i( is often no easy matter to gain ad
mission. Rut the same young mntt finds
the saloon, tho billiard hall, the gambling
house, and worse places always open.
There is no cold politeness shown him by
the children of this world; nobody asks if
he is respectable, or who is his father, or if
his family are nWe people. The waiter in
the beer garden will place a choir for him
obsequiously, nnd tho proprietor will
be delighted at his presence,
mntter what his antecedents. The cheer
fulness with which he is welcomed
pleuses him, oven if t<- knows tho polite
ness to be but feigned, anil among these as
sociates he makes acquaintances who are
often.his ruin. The road to evil is very
broad, and its travelers are numbered by
thousands, especially among the young men
of a great city. Rut it might be well for
churches and pastors to ask themselves the
question whether some of the blame does
not lie at their own door*. YY’ith churches
open twice a week and tho saloon doors
always ajar, tho wonder is, not that so
many yonng men go wrong, hut that any
are able to resist the temptations that lie in
wait at every corner."
A Card From Dr. IlttyKootl.
Editor TsutoxAra: Mjr friends, at least, know
that it has not been ray custom to trouble tbe press
with corrections of misrepresentations that concent

—General YIcClellan was a second cousin
of Lord Clyde, better known as Sir Colin
Campbell, a name famous in the military
annals of the Scotchmen. His “thin red
line" of Highlanders at llalaklnva kept
back the Russians, nnd be hea le 1 tho relief
at Lucknow, lie was unsparing in hit
criticism of YleClellan's tactics in l8ti->, anti
he died in 1803, nnuwnro that McClellan
was a cousin. His sister Sell heir to all his
property, bnt she, too, died intestate that
very month, and General YIcClellan and I*.
S. Mat-liver, member of Parliament for
Plymouth, as next kin, succeeded to the
fortune. This story <s told in a cable dis
patch, lmt L. YI. Barlow, of New Y’ork,
who wrote General McClellan's will, denies
thut he hail any foreign property.
—James YY’ootlrow, who 1ms so disturbed
the theological world by his evolution ideas,
was a professor in the Oglethorpe Universi-
tv, ill Ylidway, near Yliilcdgeville, Ga., in
1833-M. He was a yonng man then just
starting ont in life, and gave token of the
fibre he has since shown. He was tali,
slender, clerical-looking, dresaed in regula
tion black, with slender limb* and large feet,
walking with a swinging gait, and going
along ns noiseless and unssservative as pos
sible. He had a quiet way abont him fnll
of force. He, while always gentle, was
plain spoken and positive, lie was a close
and imlnstrions student, methodical and
precise, smiled little, talked less, never
joked, never laughed, and was strict nnd
puritanical to an nnbending degree. Y’et
he captnred and married the prettiest girl
in the place.
—Ylaud Howe, dnnghtcr of Julia YVnrd
Howe, is still called the belle of Newport,
though nearly thirty years old. She has
lived nil her life there nnd is still quite os
beanliful as when she sat for the portrait
now in the Corcorah gallery at Washington,
which attracted so mnch attention when it
was exhibited at the Uoynl Academy. Hhc
is a striking looking woman, with an “ez-
qnisitely turned jaw,” a perfect neck and
nn artistic bend, rennd which she binds a
wreath of ivy, in the style of the winner ef
the Olympian games. She is a lady of c»-
I trices. At present n-sthetic garment* are
ter fail, ami she attires herself in limp
loose gown* of dull, faded colors, which
chng about her in a way that would hare
charmed IUswetti. Dogs are with her an
other mania. At one time she ordered all
her almirer* to cease giving her candies and
flowers and substitute dogs. As her lovers
were numerous she soon bad a menagerie.
