with the present patchwork instrument
under which the State lives that needs
changing. It was adopted under the
Republican regime when Florida was
overrun with scalawags and carpet
baggers, a fact that alone establishes
its unfitness in these new daysof Dem
ocratic rule and progress.
To facilitate the great work of this
convention, made up of representative
business men to a large extent, the
matters to be arranged had been ap
portioned among twenty committees,
Several of these have reported, among
them that having charge of the legisla
tive department. This report, not yet
adopted, provides for biennial sessions
of tho Legislature of 60 days each and
limits called sessions to twenty days
each. The pay of members is fixed at
$6 per day. It prohibits lotteries, pro
vides for the disqualification of certain
classes of criminals, establishes a sep
arate title to property owned before or
acquired by a wife after marriage, and
leaves to the Legislature the question
of appointment or election by the peo
ple of State officers not otherwise spec
ified. In other particulars the legisla
tive department is provided for as in
Georgia.
One of the most important subjects
to be handled by this convention is
that which embraces railroads. As
tar a3 we have been able to learn during
tho last two years, it is generally
recognised that the railroads in Florida
are largely responsible for the State’s
great growth and development, and
public sentiment does not favor any
legislation that will hamper these
great forces. Still there are fanatics
and demagogues in Florida,
in other States, and
it is scarcely possible that they will let
slip tliis opportunity to make capital by
appeals to the passions and prejudices
of the people. It would be a fatal error
on tho part of Florida to experiment
just now witli railroad rates and com
missions. Let the law-makers take
warning fro a Georgia’s embarrass
ment and let capital continue to flow
into new roads.
habit of getting drunk, very drunk and
very frequently, were taken up and im
prisoned for two years or more, the
probabilities are a large percentage of
them would he cured of the habit en
tirely, and many others would be par
tially cured. This treatment partakes
of that of an inebriate asylum, oxcept
that it is compulsory as to the restraint
of person. This matter of drunken
ness is a very difficult one to deal with,
and yet it la very important that some
thing should be done to mitigate, ar
rest or to destroy it entirely.
The laws of Massachusetts referred
to are experimental. The country will
be interested In the result of their ex
ecution.
If the outcome shall be promising in
that State, other States will follow with
the passage of similar legislation, or
something akin to it.
The drunkard cannot take care of
himself. Some plan will have to be
devised to take care of him, and to save
him from himself, if possible.
At the meeting daring tbe past week of
tbe Grand Army at Portland, Maine, there
was much ot marching and connter-march-

pite tbe Prohibitionists, tbe bars did a
good business, in the report ot the com-
manners the following appears: “Daring
the put eleven months there have been
issued 51,000 badges. These badges are of
broexe made from captured rebel cannon.”

had been voted by Congress, to make
monaments for the dead fcderala.

Confederate Cotton.
Immediately subsequent to tho sur
render, agents of the Treasury Depart
ment were sent South to seize cotton
belonging to the Confederate govern
ment. In fact, tire Confederate gov
ernment had very little cotton subject
to seizure, but these agents seized nil
tho cotton they Could lay they their
hands npon. Mach of it they sold and
appropriated to their own purposes,
some was sold in New York city and at
other points and the proceeds thereof
were turned into tho United States
treasury, where it still remains.
The amount is large, running into
the millions. Tho Supreme Court lias
decided that the government has no
claim upon this money, but that it
rightfully bolongs to those who wore
robbed of it.
An effort is going) to he' mado tore-
cover it. Many, perhaps most of the
original claimants are dead, but any
amount that may be recovered sbonld
go to their heirs and representatives.
Tlie proposition is to ask Congress to
pus a bill allowing ail claimants upon
the fund to go before the Court of
Claims and prove their claims, joat aa
claimants under tho French spoliation
biil are now permitted to do.
This is no Southern war claim. The
war was over, when many ot the South
ern people were despoiled of the little
cotton which they had saved from the
wreck.
The highest tribunal of the land has
declsred that thia money does not be
long to the government. It is the dnty
of tbe government, then to ascertain to
whom it does rigbtfnlly belong, and to
make reatltntion. It may be a matter
of importance to those interested to
give the matter Immediate attention.

Dealing with Dturkards.
Massachusetts evidently recognises
tho fact that men will manufacture
liqaor, that other men will sell it, and
that other men still will drink it to ex
cess.
The laat Legislature In that Stato ad
dressed considerable attention to the
drunkards.
In 1880 the penalty for a "simple
drank" was reduced from a fine not ex
ceeding 85 and costs to 81 without costs,
and the Imprisonment for nonpayment
of this fine from thirty days to ten days.
Thia reduction of penalty for tho first
offense waa oflaet by a provision that
third conviction for drunkenness within
one year should be pnnlsliahie by im
prisonment for not more tbin one year,
In 1881, the law was so changed that
tbe person convicted might be re-
laired to pay the coats cf convic
tion. The new taw, wntch will go
into effect a month hence, restores the
penalty fora "limple drank” to the
former figure—not exceeding 89 and
coats, and the imprisonment for non
payment ot fine to thirty days.
Still another law jnst passed provides
that a male person convicted of drunk
enness fora third time within one year,
or convicted of being a common drunk
ard, may be sent to the Massachusetts
reformatory for a term of two yean,
subject to release on ticket-of-leave
when he ia thought to be reformed.
The person so released may he return
ed to llic reformatory if be fails to keep
sober.
In addition to the se enactments,
other provides that habitual drunkards
and those suffering from dipsomania
may be committed to the asylum for
tbe insane.
Massachusetts recognizes drunken
ness as a crime in its inception, in J sub
sequently as a disease.
Assault's Tammany,
There is an evident desire, if not an
intention, to reopen the war on Tam
many, that raged so fiercely at the
Chicago convention.
Tho Mugwumps can never be hnppy
so long as Tammany is recognized as
a strong, sturdy and honest Democratic
organization. The New York Times
and other journals of that ilk, sound
the note of attack, and even
down here in Georgia, the organs of
political bosses and rings reecho the
cry. There is yet no outward evidence
that Mr. Cleveland sympathizes with
this movement. It may be that some
of tlie cabinet are unfriendly to
this organization, hut it is tx^md
question that others of that body do
not regard it wise to strike down the
right arm of Democracy in New York
city.
Notwithstanding that Tammany had
gi ievances calculated to provoke resent
ment, the testimony is irrefragable
that this organization did its full dnty
in the Presidential election. Those
who deny this, are blinded by preju
dice to the facts which are matters of
record. The Philadelphia Herald, on
this point very sensibly eays:
Tammany Hall represents not leu than forty
thouiaud Democratic voter!. When Ita lead-
go to Waihlogton to talk with the Presi
dent, they are (airly presumed to represent tbe
Interests and convictions of theee voters. And
interests and convictions ot there voter*
we believe, u honcit and disinterested aa
thou ot any other clais ot citizens, whether
they claitlly themselves under the name ot
Democrat, Mugwump or Republican.
We certainly are 11 a lou touuderstand why,
when the Tammany men live advice at to ap
pointments, precleely ae the Mugwump! and.
New York Times have repeatedly done In
the lie*, four months, that their requests should
sne red at and denounced aa “impudent”
and “dictatorial."
The President baa recognized Tam
many in tlie appointment ol Mr. Cox
minister to Turkey. In other ways
he has recognized the other factions of
tbe New York Democracy, and so far
all things are even, it will bo a capi
tal mistake of the administration should
lend itself to any movement looking to
the slighting or provoking of Tam
many.
It has been given out that the Presi
dent will not interfere in factional
fights. This is right, and its wisdom
will be demonstrated by living up to
the declaration. It ia also declared
that the President will make no effort
concerning the gubernatorial election
to occur in New York during the
coming fail. He knows, aa doea
every other observer ot political
movementa, that the verdict ot hia
own State will be taken aa the first
teat of the success of hia administra
tion. Tbo Republican party of New
York has been reunited. The Mug
wumps may or may not foil into line
again, bnt the stalwarts will, and •
majority of a little over a thousand ia a
small margin to be overcome.
Tiie Democrats cannot hope to carry
the State with dissensions and jealous
ies in their ranks. At the inaugura
tion of Mr. Cleveland, Tammany was
accorded tho poet of honor in the civic
parade. M treated fairly she will occu
py tlie front place at the polls in No
vember.

by these hasty individuals as a point from

The theory so advanced may be set dosrn
either to a reckless humor or to a deep-

that the average Atlanta man thinks be ia

where else, save on a very per
emptory call. These deaths are
not confined to any class, race
or color, or condition, which makes the
matter ail the more puzzling. It may be
