Saxh the Sun: “Tho statistics laid before tho National Butter, Cheese and Egg Asso ciation at its late meeting in Chicago must have made its members feel that they were something more important than files on the country's coachwheel. It was asserted in those statistic* that the annual value of dairy products in this country was $100,- 000,000 greater than that of the entiro wheat crop, and $110,030,000 greater than that of th i cotton crop; while the amount of capi ta! invested in cows was said to be greater by $10,(100,000 than that invested in bank Blocks. lino: is a specimen ot the way in which the carpet-baggers de veloped the South “The Arkansas Centred railroad, narrow gauge, cost, for the forty-eight miles con stricted and equipped, less than $10,000 a mile. From tho oountica and cities along its line the owners obtained bonds aud grants to the amount of nearly $500,000. The HUte gave it $100,000 for arranging that the lied could lie utilized fur levee purposes, and lent it $1,350,000 worth of State bonds. The road was then bonded for $2,500,000, an-l a considerable amount of stock certifi- cat at was issued. Then tbe road made do- luilt iu payment of its interest, and a re ceiver was appointed, who mode a liberal ivuu of certificates for completing and re pairing it. Then it was sold at auction, and bought in for $ 10,000 -in receiver’s cor- U'iratcs, p- returned at a heavy discount Du. I’ATTsasoa, s distinguished Western cl rgynian, promulgates some sensible yieus ru prohibition, as follows: “It is no! true that the toleration and restriction of an evil which it is not po:*ihle to prevent by prohibitory legislation involves the sanc tion of it. The putting nway of wives for vtuer causes than adultery was tolerated by Moses, with the restriction that in such cues the man was required to give a hill of divorcement for the protection of the woman. In our own country the civil tol eration of worldly reading, conversation, aud visiting, ami neglect of public worship on the .Sabbath, is not regarded even by the most pharisaical as implying any sanction of Sabbath-breaking, provided open violations of the Lord's day in t.u. h forms as disturb the peace and quiet of the people l>e forbidden and punished. It is Laid, indeed, that taxes or the price of license* collected from liquor lellcm is the . price of blood received into the public treas ury. Bat this is no more true than it is that fine* collected for assault and battery an* the price of violence and bloodshed, li’cnse is a penalty (though unhappily mined) where entire prevention is deemed impracticable; and no man who pays for a high license thinks that his huaineaa is sanctioned by public authority. The name ia a!-,.} true of a tax. It is not a sanction, •ml it is so stigmatized only by the sap- j -■/inof » party. High License. Tho Christian Union, in a well con Hi deled article upon tho question which to-day is watched with such interest in Georgia, un dertakes to show the effect of high license in Illinois, taking as a basis the official re ports. The editorial passes over “certain very honest temperance men whose aim is to secure such legislation ns will relieve them of all responsibility for tho liquor traffic," and is addressed to the “vast ma jority of temperance thinkers and workers, who ore not particular to embody in tbe statute book their own notions on tbo sub ject of temperance; who desire, before everything, to secure such legislation as will be practioally most effective in reducing tbe drink traffic," The license,” says the Union, “is fixed by what is known as the Harper law, at $500. Iu the city of Chicago this law has increased the revenue to the city from $200,000 to $1,500,000, and reduced tho sa loons trom 4,000 to 3,300. In Hyde Park, a suburb of Chicago, though tbo population has increased, the saloons have been re due sd nearly one-half; while the income and consequent reduction of taxation has been multiplied tenfold. What is more significant is a reduction in the number of arrests from 1,895 to G78, In Springfield, tbe capital of Illinois, the saloons have been reduced 30 per cent, in number, and the revenue from them has been increased 231 per cent. In Peoria tbe saloons have been reduced nenrly one- half, the revenue has been trebled. These are reports from the larger cities. In the smaller towns similar effects have been pro- duced. In some of them no licenses are granted, nnd prohibition is secured by local option. In nearly, if not quite all the others, tbe number of saloons has been somewhat reduced, the amount of revenue to the State largely increased, and the amount of drunkenness and disorder notably diminished. From six columns ol reports that lie before ns, we take some specimen raporta at haphazard: Cairo, Ill.—Increase of revenue, 50 per cent; deerense of saloons, nearly 50 per cont; decrease of notable intemperance. 30 per cent Quincy—Increase bf revenue, nearly 40 per cent; decrease of saloons, 30 per cent. Tolono—Revenue doubled; business of polico courts diminished 30 per cent. Toledo—All tho low groggeries shut up. Vandalia—No decrease of saloons; in crease of revenue, sixty-six per cent.; fewer cases of drunkonnoss, aud fewer disturb ances. Morris—Saloons reduced from twenty, four to sixteen; rovenue increased from 32,400 to $8,000. We need not, perhaps, continue these ro ports. The general result is expressed by tbo facts that in tbe State at large the reve nues of the State have been increased from $700,000 to over $1,500,000, the number of saloons has been reduced from 13,000 to less than 9,000, tbe best elomonts of both parties unite in supporting and enforcing the law, nnd disregard of it apparently finds little sanction from either tho people of their natural representatives', the courts, tbe sheriffs and the juries. More- over, in coanty after county, in small villa ges, tbe high license has had the effect to close np all liquor shops. The report from Fayette county may bo regarded as a typ icalonc in this regard. “Iu soverol small towns in this crunty tho high license law has practically resulted in prohibition there being no one in these places willing to pay the required fee." In tho reports before ns we do not find n single town county which indicates unfavorable reaulta, The disadvantage of a Stato prohibitory system ia that it is not enforced in the gTcat cities, whether iu Maine, Vermont, Kansas, or Iowa. The advantage of a high tax or a high license system is thut can be and is at once enforced in tbe cities, whether in tho State of Illinois or Mis souri; that it shuts up, if not tho worst saloons, certainly those which are most productive of disorder and of crime, while it has a tendency to shut np all saloons the smaller villages, and, if accompanied by local option, gives tbe people in the rural districts absolute power to close them, all eveuts, we think these definite reports from the various counties of Illinois are quite conclusive as to one fact; that a high license or a high tax, whatever may thought ol it in theory, does practically have the effect to limit tho liquor traffic and diminish the evils which flow from Those who bppose this method of dealing with the drink traffic mu* t either shut their eyes to tho facts, or oppose the system on some other ground than the asseveration that a high tax increases the evil which it is intended to reduce. This, it would seem, ought to he conclu sive as to the effect of high license. The question urines, would not even better re sults have been obtained, hod the Harper law placed the figures at $1,000 instead of $503, as anggosted by tbe New York Church Temperencc Society? There is a limit to the usefulness of high license; a point be yond which to go would involve the tern- perence cause in the difficulties which meet the prohibitionists. To find this point should be tbe aim of practical reformers. order to meet his request the Attorney- General bad to order tho district attorney, Mr. Hill, to commence the suit. There is nothing private iu all this. It directly in terests tbe people of Georgia, and became legitimate piece of news to any newspaper man with sufficient enterprise to look it up. Our correspondent makes no statement the discredit of Marshal Fitzsimons, but states what others in authority have told him, and what be has gotten from tho record. And all of this is capable of a full and sat isfactory explanation by a judicial investiga tion, which Marshal Fitzsimons himself bos requested. That it shall be full and com plete the Comptroller of the Treasury de clines to grant the withdrawal of any letters papers. We repeat that we fail to see that in all this any injustice has been done to Mar- stud Fitsimmons by the Tei.egbaph or its correspondent. It is not clear to ns whether the epithet unprincipled meddler" is meant for our correspondent ot the party from whom he received his information. But, in bis be. half, we desire to say that the term cannot truthfully nor justly applied to him. He has been selected by the Telegraph represent it in Atlanta, nnd to furnish its readers with facts of public interest that may occur there. We pay Lim for this ser vice, which bos been satisfactory to ns and our numerous readers. As to the cose point, we have not nsed all of tho facts placed in our possession. A few general remarks may not be out of place in this connection. It is to the in terest of the people of-Georgia that thoy should be furnished with a full and true account of all of their servants in State or Federal employ. For many years they have been debarred from this enjoyment, so necessary to the health of parties and the conduct of good government. We are making a determined effort to supply them with tho necessary and jptercsting information, and onr readers and patrons hare demonstrated in a marked manner their gratification. There are some people who do not like this, and have given token of dissatisfaction in more wayB thun one. We cannot be deterred from tho prosecu tion of the good work. We have a right to look into the official conduct of those who are clothed with public trusts, and when wo detail a man of character and capacity to this duty we propose to stand by him. If a journal had been as thoroughly equipped and appointed to this work years ago as tbe Telsobapii is now, Georgia would have been saved much of disgrace, humiliation nnd debauchmont, nnd would have boen in a much better condition in all respects to-day than she is. If an exposure of devious ways nnd dubious practices, a stern opposition to bad men, and a vigilant observation of public officials can help her reputation and public service, sho shall have them in the futnre. ventilate their own opinions, will bo asked to be brief, respectful and responsible in cash for the space used. Colonel Fllz.lmon. nml Ei-Muihel fitw- 1 Limoni. We give in another column the comunni- cation of Colonel Fitzsimons, who has been for years the United States marshal of Georgia. Wo cannot sea that any injury or injustice has been done him by our Atlanta correspondent. He was and is a public official until his ao- connts are settled with tho government. As such bo was dealt with by onr corres pondent, and we propose in those comments to keep tbe officer and the individual separ ate and distinct. It is agreed that a suit has been com menced against the bondsmen of Marshal Pitzsimona, both sets. He asked for this suit, as appears by the letter of the Comptroller of the Treasury. In The First Act Only. Atlanta has witnessed the first act only in tbe prohibition drama. Success has grati fied tho consistout nun and women. It has also encouraged and nerved the fanatics of both colors, and has excited the cupidity and the ambition of the politician. Yesterday thousands of Republicans ate their Thanksgiving dinners with gusto and relish after reading tho reports that in town located in the South the color line hod been broken by money sent from tbe North, Politics is tbo armed man hiddon in tbe belly of the Orecinn horse, not only in the sections inimical to the South but nearor home. On yesterday morning there appeared in tbe Atlanta Capitol, this trom a prominent prohibition leader, Air. Anderson: Pleue call apectal attention to the importance a full regUtrstlon of the friemls of tempemnee for the city election. Atlanta is shortly to have a municipal contest, and the men who won on Wednes day proposo to repeat the victory by simi lar agencies. From this the step is easy and short to Stute and Federal elections. No one but a prohibitionist is to be put on guard, none but tbe faithful to enjoy officea of honor and profit. Disclaimers will not avail iu the presence of facts. Swelled np by victory, a move ment will bo made in Macon. The experience of Atlanta has demon strated that good men and women, bigots, fanatics and politicians of all colors and conditions will bo joined in the movement. What was intended os moral question, to lie quietly settled by the people of every locatily, has been woven into a political movement, demand ing immunity under the garb of religion, while threatening personal rights and eiitablished government. We should not like to see the scenes of Atlanta re-enacted here. We do not be lieve that this community could be wrought into a frenzy with so many disgraceful ac companiments. The Telegraph takes this early occasion to say that it will not invite such a move ment or submit to it quiescently. It hsa its own opinions on the subject which have time and again been frankly laid before its readers. These it stands prepared to peat and maintain whenever occasion may seem to require. There is nothing new to be said in the way of debate on either aide of the question. As has been remarked of tbe clerical and lay oratory in Atlanta, it waa but a reproduction of debating society eloquence of an hundred years ago. When the contest comes, the Telegraph will have a corps of trained and intelligent reporters to give a truthful account of it from day to day, but it does not intend to surrender its columns to the exclusion of news and read ing matter, which its patrons have a right to expect, that prohibitionists and their opponents may display had temper and manners and bring discredit upon churches and religion. Those who wish to use the Telegraph to How the News Waa Spread# To-day tho Teleobath presents a com plete exhibit of tbe great contest in Atlanta, rnodenp from special • reports of corres pondents who were upon tbe ground, and communicating with this office by special wire every few minutes. Tho bulletins sent by onr reporters were posted in front of this office and were read by orowds all day long. Throughout the day the office force was kept busy at the telephone answering inquiries, nnd sendibg answers through both telegraph offices to poiuta about in tbe State. The news gathered by tbo Atlanta depart ment of tbe Tei.eobph was earned to Au gusta over a sperinl wire and copies of our bulletins were there displayed simultane ously with tboso posted in this city. By C p. m. tho people of Augusta nnd Macon, and many points throughout our territory were informed ns to the details, inciuenie and result of the most remarkable con test ever wnged in a Georgia city. This service was free to all at the expense of the Telegraph. In its wide scope, in its correctness, in its rapidity, it marks an era in Georgia journalism, and sustains the paper’s claim to tho best nnd earliest news from the capital. Bnt all our friends have not been able to avail themselves of yesterday’s ««rvico. This morning's Telegraph, which is practi cally a second edition so far ns the election concerned, goes out' with tho whole matter summed up. It will be dropped m Forsyth, Griffin, Barnesville nnd Jonesboro advance of all papers, and tho Atlanta enrriers will have it on tbo rnn at 7:30 a. m. Beyond Atlanta it will go side by side with the earliest edition of tho Constitution. It will beat all competitors to Milledgoville, Sparta and points upon the Macon nnd Augusta road, and share the honor beyond Barnett on the Georgia road. It will bent all competitors to Fort Valley, Unrsballville, Montczama, Americns, Al bany, Eufaula nnd all points on tbe South western and Muscogee roads. It will carry tha news first to all points between Macon und Jesup on tbe East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road below Macon and first to all points on the snmo road between Macon and Atlanta. The Deadly Hedy Coat. Though the physical vigor of Mr. Hen dricks hsd been giving away before the ad vance ot years, and he was subject to fre quent attacks of more or less severity, it would appear that tho shock which hast ened his death may be directly charged to what is known as a body cout, or more fa miliarly a claw hammer or swallow tail. Ho bad put off heavy clothing for a dress suit to attend an evening reception. The change gave him a cold and precipitated his death. Many men who have passed the meridian of life contribute to their deaths in a similar way. A young and vigorous man may doff heavy suit for a light one, spend the night in dancing and feasting nnd escape with a slight cold, or, at worst, a sharp attack of influonzn, but old men cannot afford to take such cbnnccv. Now anil then a man comes along like Hannibal Hamlin, who can afford to trent such com forts os socks, undershirts and overcoats with disdain, but the instances are rare. Tbo demands of Washington society are dangerous to our statesn.cn of advanced years. Tho winter climate of Washington is simply abominable. When on old Con gressman has sat in a cloze and nnbealthy hull during the dsy, aud then arrays him self in the garments of a young beau, and goea to t..e theater or a reception, ho taking very short chances npon his life. Last winter so many men died from colds contracted by standing uncovered at funer als in a freezing atmosphere, that it at tracted attention and discussion. The death of Mr. Hendriclu ought to help to abolish the body eoat or to make it of such material as would offer warmth and protection. At forty-six thoconstitutionof the average man begins to deteriorate. After that pe riod he cunnot afford to triflle with his habits or health. The latter may be preserved for years by keeping the body, especially the vital por tions of it, warm and well protected from draughts aud climatic changes. Much ot fatal pleurisy and pneumonia may be justly charged to tbe account of tbe body coat. his face by itinerant peddlers.
