Grant’s friends should prevent any in itf published reminiscences of him. They will dwarf the monument. 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 RnrcliarJ lias unde way with the fnnds of n savings bank of which he was cashier. It •will not be forgotten that the late Mr. 21 tyes was named Burcliard in the middle. Editor Sinoeblt, of the ^Philadelphia Record, Is a keen observer, lie says: “The Atlanta Constitution has come ont for Hen dricks and lliU for ’88, and the Cincinnati iEnqnirerfor lliU. But nothing in snob nc lion is to he construed ss abandonment of their constitutional privilege of begging offices of Mr. Cleveland till ’88, or dectar- ing, should ho then he the nominee, that thoy were the llrst papers to advocate his venomination/] The colored troops of Waghington City- are still lighting nobly. The colored com P'utcs are fighting among thomsclves. One of them is very ••uppish" anil docs not nl low any black man to become a member, restricting its membership to light colored mulattoes. After passing gingerbread color no ono can join. One of the colored com panies has a private war on hand, and is nnxionslr engaged in on effort to have its commanding officer put in the penitentiary for swindling nnd kicking up generally. Now and then the New Orleans Times- Democrat hits upon a great truth. Here is a specimen: “The industrial New Sonth, Then, while it is ns certainly Democratic as it is anything, is not likely to be found collecting much money to help nltra free trade legislation through Congress next winter.

Not only the Mew York Democracy but the country baa i to regret his retirement Prohibition In rolltlrs. Every day increases the probability, if not the certainty, that prohibition will he carried into State and national politics. The efforts of St. John ami his followers did not cease with the closing of the last 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. The Republican party has long since 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. Hundreds of children t-sme into the city yesterday from points miles away to seo tho circus procession. They very to be seen on every corner, canning lunch baskets nnd clad in homely jeans. Too poor to pay the ndmitance fee, they had staked their happiness upon a freo sight of the gorgeous procession, the elephant nnd the cameL As the day wore away their lit tle faces lengthened; no procession moved. The only city council iu the United States that was capable of taxing n free street Bhow had broken up the programme. It was n day of gloom to the juveniles. 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."
