Y., wlro had been attached by diptheria, was given up by her doctor, and expressing a wish for a glass of lager, was given the beer, on the ground that it would cheer her dying Momenta She drank two bottles, went to sleep, and was quite well next morning. The mayors ot Iowa's cities and towns in tend asking the Legislature to modify the liquor law so that the community can ob tain the revenue that has been lost without bringing about the reign of prohibition. At Atluntic and Council Bluffs the authorities have taken to raiding the saloons, hells, etc., once a month, thus practically collecting a license fee. As exchange says: “Stuator Fryc, of Maine, believes that Mr. Cleveland's ap pointments should be considered by the Republican members of the Senate in tho same way as if they had been made by a Republican President. Senator Hale is said to agree on this point with Mr. Frye." If this he correct Mr. Cleveland’s appoint ments will be confirmed as fust as he may make them. Tue young man of tho Atlanta Constitn- tinn who puts conundrums to himself and anawctM them, collided with the news editor in the Saturday edition. Under the guise of ''Reader from Seneca, South Carolina,” lie antes himself “How far bock were atovea made';" and answered the fitst time from bis prodigous memory. It so hap pened that the news editor hod clipped the same piece from the Uoston Globe, and the foreman placed it in an adjoining column. A Milwaukee paper says. “Mr. Harrison draws a salary of SltlO a week daring his stay in Milwaukee, and boards at tho Plnn- kinton House nt the expense of the chnrch people. Ho sells the hymn books nsed in the services, and pockets the profits. lie also sells his own photographs, tho proceeds of which go to his own pane.” The boy preacher has not struck it rich. In Georgia from 1300 to $1,000 per week seems to be the proper figures for revivalists. Bat maybe Wisconsin men are more easily saved than Georgians. The Philadelphia Times aaya: “Although it cannot l e denied that a man has a right to do as he pleases with his money, yet the name "The Leluml Stanford, Jr., Univcrsi. tv” will do mnch to overcome the good ef fects of the many milliona with which it has been endowed. There is something in a name when it is such a ridiculous one as this." What does our contemporary think of the University of Joe Brown and all the little Browns in perpetuity and the Stato of Georgia, all for a small and indefinite sum as compared with Gov. Stanford’s millions. The average woman loves to get things at » reduced price. The following incident will show how they can enjoy cheap roil road fares: Airs. Cullotn, living near Hones- dale, Pa., has boon only married ten years, nud is th - mother of eleven children, all living; three of them are nine, three of them are seven, two of them are five, and three of them are three yean old. When she travels on the Erie Railroad she is only obliged to pay half fare for herself and nothing for the children, so after all there is some compensation for haring presented her husband with eleven children at four births. The political rascals seem to have as firm grip on Alabama as on Georgia. The Mont gomery Dispatch says: “A few yean ago everybody knew who the ‘rascals’ were and it was supposed we pnyed for the success of tho Democratic party, mainly in order to be rid of them. But now all trace of the rascals has been lost, at leaatthey atill hold ofllcc, and instead of turning them out, the election of a Democratic President seems to have operate 1 as a complete vindication for them, and it takes abont as much time and awearing to convict u third-rate post-maater of offensive partisanship as it does to vindi cate a Georgia statesman." The New York Star aaya: “The Repub lican organisation lias not disintegrated, and ia not likely to. It is in no collapse. It has been stricken very tow. The popular ver dict declared 'a-t November has been reaf firmed this year with every accessory of form and deliberation, and there is no long, e - acy pca.ibibty of mistaking the senti ment of tne American people. The party has lost its hold on popular sympathy. The nation it callous un h r its most impas sioned appeals and fatally skeptical as to its usefulness. Bat it still retains a vitality which will outlive the intemperate riot of a quarter of a century and rise, chastened by adversity, to a renewed and vigorous ca rter.’* Temperance and High License. The Church Temperance Society and two other societies engaged in the work of moral reform have agreed upon a bill which is to be introduced in the New York Legislature. The object of this bill is to control and regulate the sale of spirituous liquors. The Xew York Sun, indorsing its main features, says: The lull Ua» for its main feature* high license, anil therefore. *o far, derervea approval: for that method of regulating the llipior traffic, aa the ex- pericnce of all the Stale* which have adopted it prove* conclusively, work* far better in actual practice than any other that ha* been tried In till* country. It can really be enforced, it lessens the number and Improve* tho character of the liquor saloon*, greatly increase* tho public revenue from that source, secure* the favor of both dealer* and customers, and satisfies the people generally. In this bill the licenses are divided into six classes, with fees as follows: 1. Liquor License.—To sell liquors of any kind to be drunk on the premises. In cities of more than 300,000 inhabitants, not less than $1,000: In all other cities, towns and villages, not less than $600. 2. Wine and Peer License.—To sell malt liquors, cider and wine to be drunk on the premises, in cities of more than 300,000 inhabitants, not less than $600; in other places not less than $260, 3. Deer License.— 1 To sell malt liquors and cider to be drunk on the premises, in cities of not more than 300,000 inhabitants, not less than $100; in other placea not lew than $60. 4. Storekeeper's Liquor License.—To sell liquors of any kind not to be drunk on the promlsca, not lean than $100. 6. Storekeeper's Beer License. — To sell malt liquors, eider'aml wine not to be drunk on the pre mises, not less than $26. Druggist's License.—To sell liquors of any kind for medical, mechanical and chemical pur poses only as may certify In wrttiug for what use they want them, not less than $10. ‘It will be seen,” says the Sun, “that the hill makes a broad distinction between dis tilled and fermented liquors, requiring for the sale of spirits a license fee of $1,000 and for beer only $100. That discrimination in favor of beer is just, for malt liquors nro comparatively harmless, and it would enable reputable liquor denlers who were unable to pay tho greater fee to continue business by restricting their sales to the milder bever ages, with which their customers would learn to be satisfied. The dealers who had paid the high license fee for tho sale of strong liquors would, of course, be inter ested in looking to it that the others did not poach on their preserves by evasions of the law. A provision of the bill empowering boards of excise to submit any intoxicating liquor to analysis by a chemist, with a view to discoveriug and punishing injurious adul terations, is also a valuable safeguard for the public." There are other provisions of tho bill not necessary to note here. This matter is worth considering in Geor gia at this time. It is in harmony with the position assumed by the Teleobaph more than a month ago—a position that has been indorsed and is sustained by conservative men all over the State. It is a plan which applies the principles we have advo cated, and represents that safe middle ground whereon nil friends of good morals, of temperance, of tho law and of the principles of our gov ernment may meet and agree. The Georgia Legislature has in tho adop tion of a local option law relegated tho whis ky question to the counties. There is no need, therefore, for the temper ance people to carry tho mutter farther than their own local gov ernments. There seems to be no difficulty in tho way of obtaining by an agreement in oil sections of Georgia what is asked by the Now York Legislature. We think that Fulton county cruld read ily have secured a license schedule that would have accomplished more than can be reasonably expected from the fierce struggle now raging there, and that a world of heart burning and bitterness would have been avoided. Much a course aa that advocated by tbo Sun, tho Church Temperance Society, the Telegraph and many of the foremost journals in the land makes temperance advocates of conservative men, and thereby brings into activity the safest of oil social forces. Could this force now be utilized in Atlanta the fight over temperance would end, and polities and the pulpit he cut loose from the question, and the matter in the hands of conservative men be settled in an hour of common sense, by such a license as would rob tho sale of liquors of its wont evils, and secure citi zenit in their legal rights. This is in the order ot true reform; the reform that comes by gradual development and not by revolution. For how'erer strong may become the necessity for poUUcal’re- form by revolution, the growth of morality is gradual. And this, it is insisted, is large ly a moral question. Tbs struggle in Fulton county has alarmed many business communities in this State. It has set many temperance men to thinking, and some of them have been tempted to believe that their principl demand that they hurl themselves into the fight. It has also set men of business who are in terested in the question to thinking. We re spectfully suggest that the side which offers to settle the question by peaceful methods, and shows a willingness to meet the oppo nents half way, will carry into the fight, it its efforts fail, such an answer ss will gain the sympathy of the conservative element everywhere. Yon may not call a man fanatics) who is witling to meet yon half way upon matters wherein yon and he differ; nor may you term one unreasonable who yields to the logic facts. Wisdom, justice and moderation stand upon the coat of arms of Georgia. They cannot safely be slighUd in settling any question that affects both the morality and the business of our people. The Harbor Convention At Savannah, promises to be attended by delegations of intelligent and leading men from most, if not all of the Southern States. A similar meeting hns just been held at Tuscaloosa, Ala., except that it was a Stato convention only. There was much intelli gent discussion, and many propositions in troduced not germaiu to the occasion. These were voted down, nnd tho practical work of the convention embodied in this resolution: Resolved. That this convention heartily favor* a liberal appropriation by Congress for the improve ment of the rivera and harbor* In all parta of the United States, and recoinnu-nda to tho Alabama .Senators and Repre*entatlves In Congress that they should act aa a unit, and urge upon Congress tbo Importance of making appropriations adequate for the completion, within a reasonable time, of the Improvements recommended by this convention, with a view to the speedy enjoyment by the people of the State* and the general government of the ad vantage* to be derived therefrom. This is broad enough nnd means that the hnrbor of Mobile shall receive due atten tion. And to this end harmony of action is recommended. This is all that is neces sary .to obtain liberal appropriations for Southern harbors. The Senators and Rep resentatives from all the Southern States should act harmoniously in this matter. Let there beno jealousy in spirit nor bushwnck- ing in action. One of the speakers at Tuscaloosa re ferred to the fact that the railroads of Georgia had drawn Alabama cotton to Sa vannah. To some extent this may be true. The tendency of the cotton trade is to seek Atlantic ports. Georgia should be willing to help to mako Mobile a great port for iron and coal. For many yenre tho railroad syntem of Georgia was so managed os to empty milch of the trade of the State into the lap of Charleston, at the expense of Savannah. # he South only asks a fair share iu the appropration for hnrbors, nnd she can got whnt she asks if her Congressmen will do their full duty. The Savannah Convention should devote its attention to this point for the present. There are other things that may be considered after this has been con summated. In glancing over the delegates appointed, the fact that tho names of but few aspiring politicians appear lends to tho belief that when the business men get together and ex change views a plan of operations can bo agreed upon which will insure success. Very High Authority. Notwithstanding Colonel Hemphill's “rqiedal" in regard to the decrees of the Plenary Council nt Baltimore, and the cer tificates of the Atlanta Capitol nnd Journal ns to its correctness, many good nnd intel ligent people have doubted its truthfulness. These last are sustained by very bigb au thority. Archbishop Gibbons is on. a visit to New Orleans, and among other things, he said this to n reporter of the New Orleans Times-Democrat: • "In reference to the Plenary Council, he stated that Dr. O'Connor, who la bis assistant, hod Just re turned from Rome with the Pojie's approval of tho decisions of the council, and that the document* were now lu the hand* of the printer, who would probably have them ready for the public by Jan uary 1.188(1. Tho decisions of tlia Plenary Coun- related more to matters of discipline than to other things, among which was the right given to certain rectors of trial on changes in case of < plaint before tho bishop shall be permitted to change a rector. 'A* to the temperance question, hla Grace said, council, as dues the Catholic church, advocates moderate use of alchobollc beverages and the general coutrol of the appetite, and only insist* on total abstinence when a drunkard finds hi* appe- for drink uncontrollable.” The dregs of society in Atlanta hare been pai l out of default, and will voU on Thursday next. They will also vote in the ant city and county elections. Who will rally and lead them ? And will th* results bs satisfactory? Great Guns. A day or two since the committee ap pointed by Congress went down to Sandy Hook to witness the test of a gnn recently completed at the South Boston Iron Works The gun Is one of tho largcet ever made in the United State*. It 1* constructed of cast Iron, meas ures one foot *t the bore, i* thirty feet long, 1* breech-loader, weigh* fifty-four ton* and cast $29,000. was e'even months la building, earriee charge of 263 pounds of powder and anMIO-ponnd projectile, contains a French interrupted screw or French fermeture, can penetrate at I.ooo yards an armament of twenty-one Inches of wrought Iron, and costs th* governmcnSovery time th* lanyard polled $63 for the shell and $53 for th* powder, i $110 a charge, outside ot the interest on the invest ment and the labor that handles her. The powder used I* a slow burning powder csllod the cocos, owing to It* close resemblance to that article. This powder waa Invented by a German five yean ago, who imparted the secret of lta manufacture to hla government, which kept It a secret for three years, and sold the patent to Oreat Britain for $100,000. On* of the United Slates ordinance officers bought a|few grains a few yean ago and In experimenting upon It actually Improved upon the original. The teat of tho gun was in every way satisfactory. Notwithstanding the enor mous weight of the projectile and size ot the load, the recoil of the gnn was but six feet Largo as is this American weapon, it falls short of one just completed in England the Woolwich arsenal, which throws a pro jectile ot 13J inches, weighing 1,259 pounds, 2,100 feet per second, with n powder charge of 680 pounds. The hall penetrates 29 inches of armor at dose fighting quar tern, and goes through 27 inches of wrought iron at 1,000 yards. Those guns are for the new ships of the admiral class. The 11-ton guns for the Benbow throw u projectilo weighing 2,000 pounds, which cuts its way through 31) inches of the staunchest armor made—more than any war ship'carries. The value of such weapons is yet to be tested in battle. They suggest the thought that the day ot long and gallant sea fights has forever paseed. There are to he more Paul Jones, Lord Nelsons, or Com modore Perrys. One shell weighing from 1,200 to2,000 pounds, capable of penetrating two and a half feet ot steel plate, may in the fnturo end a fight that would have, thirty yean ago, raged for many hour*. Correct markmanahip will settle great questions speedily when marine powers hereafter disagree, ••Alack." One of the personages who drifted out of sight with the late adminiaration Hon. Aleck Powell, colored valet to His Royal Dndeneas Chet Arthur. Just what secrets Aleck held over his master no one bnt Chet himself, in all like lihood, knows. That he bad great in flnence with the late master of the White House eras generally conceded and com mentedupon. At this late day CUnt Wheeler, an old chnm ot Arthur’s, recalls this fact He said recently to an interviewer: "Why be waa second in command. 1 bright fellow, fall of curiosity anil always had hla eye* open. There waa not attache of White House who waa not afraid of him. He domi neered over them and tbs President never attempt ed to chock him. To gat at Arthur oa an impor tant matter oa* had to eacooater Alack upon occasions. 1 often wondered if ha did not bar* soma secret which tha Prasidact feared might leak ont If bo sent him ewny. "Ila waa also an awful ungrateful nigger. After aU that Arthur did for hint I know that ho Southern colored d«legation* in Washington their way to Chicago and bagged them to rote against Arthur's nomination. No man is a hero to bin own valet, reads the old proverb. Perhaps Aleck wts stirred by patriotism while dealing with the South era delegations. Perhaps he was jealous Atlanta's Prohibition Klcctinn. Wc have arranged to have a special wire nnd operators in our office to-morrow to report the progress and result of the prohi bition election in Atlanta. Bulletins will received every few minutes during the time the polls are open, detailing tho events the day, and giving nt each hour the status nt each poll ns far ns is possible to ascertain. Thursday's Teleobaph will contain the best reports of the election to bo found iu any paper in the State. The Southwestern Christian Advocate, noting the fact thnt Gail Hamilton has completed tho task asks: “Now who is to be tho next to ride through the South in a palace cor, take observations from the front window of n first class hotel, and return home to teach us how to solve this momentous nnd everlasting so-called “ne gro problem?" Among the many ills distributed to the country by New England may bo numbered Mormonism. If it had not been for Ver mont, says Kate Field, there never would have been snch a thing as Mormonism. Brigham Young, Joseph Smith nnd Hebcr !. Kimball, all bright nnd shining lights in the Mormon church, and indeed its very foundation, were nil born in Vermont. of Arthur’s success as a masher. Perhaps ha was after the eighty six pairs of pants with which Chet had furnished the White House. west it was with difficulty^the two first were restrained from preceding the latter, but here things are revorsed, for there is no im migration to the greater portion ot this im mense wilderness, and the few people who nro scattered over portions of it have, for the most part, abandoned agriculture and now look to the general government for protection and support by being enrolled into the public service nnd by various other ways.” TnE glee singing, bodge wearing, nnd up- rorions oratory employed in tho Atlanta campaign has something of a political sig nificance. This “special” headlined Sparta is sent to the Now York Times from At lanta. Not very far for a silent organ: The Congressional campaign in thla (the Eighth Georgia) district promise* to bo one of tho moat notable In the South. Thla la the dlatrict which Alexander H Stephens represented for yean, hla elecUon to tho Governorship he was succeeded by the Hon. Seaborn ltcese. who dellghta In being referred to a* "Apollo." He la now serving his third term and aspires to a fourth. For this pur pose he Is attending all the county courts, running foot races with the rural voters, and otherwise making himself popular. Just here the temper ance agitation comes up and threatens to play havoc with Reese's hopes, is fuUy committed to free liquor. XV. U. Mattox, a strong Prohibitionist, bos announced hla candidacy for Congress. In tho election on pro hibition In Hancock county tho two men met, and Reese waa nnlioried. So strong is the temperance feeling, and so sharply has the line been drawn, that the Democratic nominating convention will find it impossible to reconcile diiTerences, and the race will be on tho liquor line. It ia not unlikely that this feeling will spread to other districts. If It does, there will 1>e very little heard of Democracy in the coming Congressional election, as it will have to give way to tho new issue.

Nothing is said abont Van’s nose, which prill pass for the prize beet at an agricultural (air. The New York Sun sticks np tor States rights. As to Thanksgiving proclamations it says: “From the beginning the Govern ors ot States have called their people to an autumnal Thanksgiving, a (estival ot pray er and a banquet ot prosperity. In tho midst ot the civil war, when tho (ate ot the Union hung upon tho decision ot battles, the President wisely nnd properly under took the lead in this celebration; but now a Democratic President might refer the function back to the Governors, and let Htate rights once more prevail as in the Democrats times ot Jefferson and Jack- son.” Tbe Governor ot Georgia ^nscs his action on this subject upon that ot the President. There is a man in Nevada, named Ange la Cardelia, who claims to be the strongest man in the world. He is an Italian, aged 38, and stands 5 feet 10 inches, weighing 138 pounds. His strength was born with him, for he had no athletic training. He Capital PllZG $150,000 diners from other men chiefly in the osse- x ous structure. Although not of nnnsual size, his spinal column is double the ordi nary width, and his bones and joints are made on a similarly large anil generous scale. He bos lifted a man of 200 pounds with tbe middle finger of his right hand. The man stood with one foot on the floor, his arms ontstretchcd, his hands grasped by two persons to bnlance his body. Car delia then ntooped down and placed the third finger of his right hand under the man's foot, nnd with scarcely any percepti ble effort raised him to tho height of fonr feet and deposited him on n table near at hand. Once two powerful men waylaid Cardelia with intent to thrash him, but he seized one in each hand and hammered them together until life was nearly knocked ont of them. His strength is inherited, for he says that his father wns more powerful thnfi himself. Cotton Statement. From the Chronicle's cotton article of November 20, the following facts ore gathered relative to tho movoment of tho crop for the past week: i For the week ending this evening (No vember 20), the totnl receipts have renched 270,421 bales, against 232,001 bales last week, 274,422 bales tho previous week and 208,023 bales three weeks since, making the total receipts since the first of Heptember, 1880, 2,105,307 bales, against 2,220,759 bales for the name period of 1884, showing a de crease since September 1, 1885, ot 55,402 Tue Wateibttry American, referring to the recent boom in tbe Evangelist busmens, says: “One of the curious things abont revivals has always been that tbe character of the instrument has little to ilo with their success or failure.” This is true, as to the crowds and noise. We picked np a little incident abont one of these religious dram mere a few days since.- After a scries of meetings in which he had exjiansted his stock of sermons and had sold all of his song books, he requested all who were as sumed of salvation to rise, following tho word with an upward action himself. Im mediately there was a line in front as up right and bold as nn awkward squad at a militia dtill. The old pastor of the chnrch in which the services were held, and whose long life bad been clean and humble, kept bit chair and bowed Ids head very low, Comment would be superfluous. The New York Times has this special from Atlanta: Oue of the carton* results of the pending pro hibition canvas* in Atlanta Is a movement now on foot to ask President Cleveland for the removal of Ben H. Hill aa dlatrict attorney for the Northern dlatrict of Georgia. Hevrral daya ago Mr. II III male a epeaeb In favor of prohibition, In which he took very advanced ground and favored all ktnda of pro hibition legislation. The antl-prehlbitiontate took great offense at thla position being taken by an ap- pointer of an administration which Is pledged against the passage of sumptuary laws. The liquor men of Atlanta and of tba Stato in general propose to remind Mr. Cleveland of that paragraph tn hla latter of acceptance in which ha look suefratrong ground against sumptuary laws, and will ask him If a subordinate official like Mr. Illll can Ayr in tbe face of tbe party platform and the Presidential declarations end still hold a responsible official post. Parties are now at work securing signatures to document containing the request for Mr. Hill s re moval. Tbe point ia well taken. The prohibition movement in Atlanta means politics to latge degree, and it would be in order for Mr. Garland to notify Mr. Hill to attend to his business. The receipt* of all the interior towns for the week hare been 188,914 bales. Lsst year tho receipts of the some week were 160,545 bales. Tbe old interior stocks have increased during the week 28,694 bales, snd are to-night 61,933 bales more than at the same period last year. The receipts at the same towns hare been 10,842 bales more titan the same week last year, and since Heptember 1 tho receipts .at all the towna are 236,245 bales more than for the same time in 1884. Among the interior towns, the receipts at Macon for the week have liecn 2,837 bales. Last year the receipts for the week wen 2,792 bales. These figures show a increnai for the week of 45 bale*. Tbo total receipt* from the plantatioi ■ since September 1, 1885, were 2,458,768 bales; in 1884 were 2,433,083 lisle*; in 1883 were 2,508,691 boles.’ Although the receipt* at tbe ontporta the post week were 270,421 bale*, tho etetnsl movement from plantation* waa 299,751 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks at the interior towns. Last year the receipt* from the plantation* for the name week were 289,343 bales, and for 1883 they were 238,329 bale*. The import* into continental port* this week have been 54,000 bale*.
