matters la the only persuasive tutor, and Its argu
ment sometimes falls In an encounter with pride of
opinion end fanaticism. But after a little while,
when prohibition has fallen into contempt and the
unlicensed sale of llqnon Is unrestrained and nn*
punished, the people of Atlsnta will turn to high
license as the only adequate and rational means of
restraining the abuses of the liquor truffle. They
will then find tbenieelve* saddled with a local op
tion law that it was much easier to pass than It will
he to ropcat.
Thin is a diepnaeionate exposition of the
snbject that inbound to attract attention.
The Philadelphia Times bluntly says:
‘It now remains to bo seen whether the prohthl-
tlonlsta, with so slender a majority, cab entorce
tho otal abstinence they were able to decree at the
hallotdiox. AU former oxpent-m-cs in this lino
have shown that, even with nn overwhelming pop.
iilarsenUmentln favor of prohibition, it has been
very difileuU to enforce an actual statute of this
kind."
The New York Times alno devotes time
anil space to the same qustion, and reaches
this conclusion:
This problem is by no means settled in tbo North.
Prohibition has been tried in several Staten, and is
generally recognized aa a failure. In some it has
been abandoned, and in others it still prevails,
with a constantly growing sentiment against its
expediency, because it Is demonstrated that the
traffic cannot be destroyed, and that its evils ate
hardly lessened by a prohibition which faUs to pro
hibit The usual alternative has been an easy 11-
cense system, end experience shows that the dimin
ution of the evil which it effects is very slight.
That there Is a general dissatisfaction with the re
sults Is shown by the persistency of the advocates
of prohibition and the vote which they control
even aa nn independent political party,
this State the vote fiicrea.-eil from sbont
24,000 last year to nearly 31,000 this
year, and it threatens to become a
serious dteturbingelemcnt in the balance of parties.
There la little chance that it can attain its purp-we,
cither of coutrolllng public policy directly or of
coercing either party into supporting iti doctrine:
but it furnishes to both partlos an inducement to
find some new solution of the difficulty which shall
produce results more consonant with tho sentiments
of rational temperance men. This seems to lie in
the plan of high license, which shall lessen the
number of drinking places, bold tho dealers toe
higher responsibility, end diminish tho political
Influence of grog shops, as weU as restrict the social
evils tbat flow from the traffic. This la a progres-
sive movement, end It promisee oa much practical
benefits an can at present be attained by legislation.
Wo make no apology for recarring so
often to tho question. It is now the most
prominent issne before tho people, and
upon it may hang, not only many local in
terests, but rcsnlta that will disturb the
whole country. Already the cry has gone
forth, "the solid South is broken.” When
the solid South is indeed broken, local gov
ernments in tho South may taint with cot?
ruption the whole body politic.
Suggestion fur the Negroes.
Tbo negroes of Nashville, Tenn., have
arranged for an exposition in that city, be
ginning Decembor fi t and continuing one
week. The enterprise is intended to show
the progress of the rocs in that State in ag
riculture, mechanics nnd book loarning, and
is bolievod will accomplish much good.
Wo have often wondered why the negroes
Bibb county havo. not already attempted
something of this sort. Bibb and neigh
boring counties have many prosperous ne
gro farmers nnd mechanics. Many of the
minor manufactures nre carried on largely
by negroes, and an exposition of their
products would be on interesting and in
stinctive study.
The Tennessee exposition will contain
all the products of tho farm; tho manufac
tures of carpenters, blacksmiths, silver
smiths, shoemaker*, tailor*, stone-mason*,
upholsterers, weavers, and mechanics of all
descriptions; articles of art, dentistry and
ingenuity; evidences of mental culture;
needle and household work; and tho pro
ducts of the kitchen nnA dairy.
Here is a fine suggestion for the negroes.
Let thorn got together and show what they
can do for the support of themselves and
the country. It will pay hotter than poli
tics; hotter evon than temperance contests.
Scrvla vs. Bulgaria.
Tbs telegrams report this morning a
rumor that King Milan has made a flying
trip to Vienna to seeore assistance from the
Austrians. However sensational this rumor
may be, it is a cold fact that Milan needs
assistance from some one, in order to stay
the advance ot the victorious Bulgarians,
who, having now cleared their own soil of
the invader, have carried the war into Scrvis
and captured the city of Pirot.
Contrary to general expectation, the Rul
garians, hitherto a comparatively nntried
people, have developed remarkable fighting
qualities, and not only atand well under
fire, but rally easily. This must be attri
buted to a large extent to the efforts of Eng
lish and Russian officer*, many of whom
have enlisted under Princo Alexander, and
to the courage and example of the Prince
liimaelf.
Austria openly sympathizes with the Serb
and baa quietly assisted him in many ways,
lint it will toko something stronger
than ambulance corps and donations of cig
arettes to stop the Bulgarian advance and
check the demoralization of Milan's forces.
WiU Austria dare advance on army and thus
give the signal for which aU Europe stand
ing on tiptoe listena? We shall soe. A free
fight jnst now would rob the Sick Mau of
bis Christmas turkey, and cause England
to tremble for her Eastern interests.
notes received it would appear that the
Grover Cleveland Smiths, Joneses nnd
Thompsons ore usually not long for this
wicked world. Begging letters are of every
shade, from that of the impecunionswre'tch
who honestly confesses that he has not got
a dollar, and would like to borrow $5 of
tho illustrious chief magistrate of this rich
and glorious country, to that of the simple-
minded farmer in tho Northwest, who be
seeches the President to assist him by the
loan of a few hundreds for a couple of
years to lift tha mortgage on his farm.
The promise of good security and 6
per cent, interest invariably accompanies a
proposition of the latter character. The
majority of the letters for a fortnight past
have related to the message, and have eith
er contained valuable suggestions as to the
tariff or the silver or the civil service ques
tions, or else have asked for some confiden
tial communication as to the President's
position on one or nil of these questions in
advance of his communication to Congress.
People who try to break into his confidence
thus always assure him that whatever he
may confide to them in reply shall be most
sacredly guarded. A bright* and pleasing
epistle comes from a Democratic editor iu
Iowa, wbo seeks to head off tho horse thief
across the way. He writes: “Be kind
enough to send me nt tho lutest by Satur
day, December 5, the lending points
of your message. I go to press on Tues
days, too late, you see, to handle the mes
sage the week it nppenrs if I should be
obliged to rely upon the ordinary chnnnel
for it. There would he risk in the delay.
The Republican paper here, which abused
you shamefully all through last year’s cam
paign, nnd still insists that yon are no
patriot, comes out on Fridays, nnd would
have four days the start of mo in my own
party affair. I have a hard time fighting
your battles here, and deserve your assist
ance.” These people doubtless suppose
that their communications reach the . Presi
dent. They do not know that a corps of
trainod clerks, armed with small steel
prongs and bine pencils, stand between
him and the mailbag, and mercilessly con
sign all sucb stuff to the waste-basket.
The Charleston News and Conrier, n
journal published in n city and State which
were freed from negro domination long
after Georgia had been disenthralled, makes
tielo very sensible and significant observa
tions about the late election in Atlanta. All
the people of Georgia may rood them with
interest and benefit: “The canvass, what
ever its result in other respects, lias brought
tho white people and the colored people ot
Allunta very close togother—too close, wo
say, as it is reported that the negroes went
about tha city arm in arm with their white
allies. AVliat tho Federal statutes
nnd the preaching of self-ap
pointed political missionaries could
not accomplish in two decodes has been
brought about in a few days by tho play of
human inti-rests and Iranian feeling. Both
tho prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists
played for the colored voto. Tho colored
people held the balance of power. Their
preachers exlmrto.1 them most earnestly to
voto for prohibition, for tho reason that
drinking is even a worse blight to the ne
gro than to the white man. The bidding
o! every sort was no donbt lively, and the
market for votes most have been firm, with
an active demand, nn the dccinivo moment
approached. At this time the whole meaning
of the hunt for the colored vote in Atlanta
cannot bo discerned, hut it is not to bo sup
posed tbat all the colored peoplo who
voted for prohibition so voted because of
their realization of tho mischief that flows
from drinking. AVita most of them the
silver dollar had more weight—even though
it bo worth leas than eighty cents' in gold—
than florid appeal or logical argument.
When the new Uw goes into operation in
Atlanta, next August, the tale will soon be
told. If the law ho not enforced, it will be
evident that a majority of the people did
not, in their hearts, doeire or approve of the
law which they voted for.
It haa been seen in Virginia that,
where the white people aro about
equally divided, the colored vote is the con-
troUing factor in political calculations. It
was by tho colored vote that Mahone was
successful. The loss of colored votes,
conpled with the low of white votes, de
feated him at the lost election. In Atlanta
the colored vote gave the prohibitionists the
majority. It is nnfortnnate, highly unfor
tunate, that ao mnch power should rest in
the hands ot vorerawho, in comparison with
the whites, ore ignorant, and who are ao
ily moved by appeals to their
passions or their pockets. The
accession of any considerable
number of colored vote* was hailed in At
lanta with extravagant satisfaction by the
party which was to be benefited. Perhaps
the white people did not go beyond pur
chasing colored votes, and sitting in tenta
with them, and walking arm in arm with
them; bat they went too far on both aides.
We cannot feel, at present at all events,
that any great reform which rest* npon the
c jlorctl vote has a acre or an enduring
foundation.”
Cotton .Statement.
From the Chronicle's cotton article of
November 27, the following facts are gathered
relative lo the movement of the crop for tLe
pnst week:
For'the week ending this evening (No
vember 27), the total receipts have reached
259,925 bales, against 270,421 bales last
week, 232,001 bales the previous week and
274,422 bales three woeks since, making tho
total receipts since the first of September,
1885, 2,425,282 bales, against 2,505,451 bales
for the same period of 1884, showing n de
crease since September 1, 1885, of 80,169
bales.
The receipts of all the interior towns for
tho week have been 187,422 bales. Last
year the receipts of tho same week were
163,879 bales. The old interior stocks havo
increased during the week 25,883 bales, and
are to-night 52,950 bales more than at the
same period last year. The receipts at tho
same towns liavo been 9,430 bales more
than the same week last year, and since
September 1 tho receipts at all the towns
are 159,788 bales more Ilian for the same
time in 1881.
Among the interior towns, the receipts at
Macon for tho week have been 2,550 bales.
Last year the receipts for the week wore
2,737 halos. These figures show a decrease
for the week of 187 bales.
The total receipts from the plnntatiois
since September 1, 1885, wero 2,749,837
bales; in 1884 wero 2,755,359 bales; iu 1883
were 2,745,692 bales.
Although the receipts at the outporta the
past week were 259,925 bales, the actual
movement from plantations was 291,009
bales, the balance going to increase the
stocks at the interior towns. Lnst year the
receipts from the plantations for the same
week were 322,286 bales, and for 1883 they
were 237,001 bales.
The imports into continental ports this
week hove been 58,000 bales.
The figures indiente a decrease in the
cotton in sight to-night of 183,124 boles ns
compared with tho same date'of 1884, a de
crease of 280,704 bales as compared with
the corresponding, date of 1883, nnd n
decrease 72,324 boles as compared with
1882.
The Chronicle has the following to say of
the market fluctuations for the week under
review:.
