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.
