THE SQUARE ISSUE Must Be Made in the Coming Local Option Fight. SHE PROHIBITIONISTS SUCCEED. The house of representatives had before it yesterday morning the bill of the city council of Atlanta proposing to amend the city charter by providing that, in case Fulton county ever voted wet, the sale of liquor in the city should "be restricted to certain limits, and fixing the license at 51,500, provided the ameddment was adopted by a vote of the city at its next regu lar municipal election. 'When tho special order was reached Mr. Howell introduced an anienemcnt to the bill, Which, he said, was in compliance with the act Ot the city council, which, at its last meeting, recommended that the bill pass with the amendment, submitting it to the people with the narrow limits instead of the half mile limits. “I am aware,” ho continued “that I will have to contend with two things which will seriously interfere with tho passage of this bill. First, a very thin house, and second, with the prejudice that never stops to con sider justice, when questions involving that prejudice are being acted on.” Mr. Howell urged the passage of this bill in the name of the city council of Atlanta, and of the conservative citizens of both sides, who arc anxious that this continuous bickering and turmoil should be put at an end. He called attention to the fact that tho next local option election was but a little over a month off, that at the last election, the city itself had gone wet by a majority of three hundred. With the sentiment so evenly divided, it was hard to enforce the law as it should be. While he Was an anti-prohibitionist, ho believed the law Ought to bo enforced, and has always favored its strongest and most stringent enforcement. Hut no man could deny that the law was con tinually evaded, and that whisky drinking had Slot been at all diminished. "On account of a great many acts which have been committed during the past two years, tho good people of this town have come to tho conclusion that they will put a stop to this state of things, and Settle this question on a reasonable and just basis at the next election. “There is scarcely a. question,” Mr. Howell Confined, “as to how Fulton county will go at that election, and it was looking to this end {hat this bill was introduced providing, in Case the county did go wet, a remedy to avoid the unrestricted sale of liquor. All good peo ple unite in this idea, that if tho town goes wet the sale of liquor must be put under certain Restrictions. If the county goes div in the next election, the bill in no wise applies, but if it goes wet, the bill simply provides that the sale of liquor shall bo made' under certain re strictions mentioned in the bill, and.shall be tinder direct and close police surveillance. I am an anti-prohibitionist because I believe it is right, but I am not willing that the city Shall go back to the unbounded and unre stricted sale of whisky. The conservative ele- Suont of both sides join in asking you to give them the opportunity to restrict the sale in . case the cennty goes wet. All good men unite in this, but there is a certain class of extrem ists who will never agree to anything looking to a reasonable and just settlement. Why, in the committee on corporations, when this question was under discussion a prominent minister of the who has always conspicuously advocated the cause of prohibition, stated that rather than have lids Restriction bill ho would prefer to see tho city deluged in whisky by an unrestricted sale ! 3ly God, gentlemen! See the spirit that we Slave to contend against,and see the spirit that . the good conservative people of this town asks you to meet and cheek. You will be told by tuy colleague who follows me (Mr. Bray) that neither the. prohibitionists nor the anti-prohi bilioni; ts want this bill. In reply to this I Jiavc only to state that, I have yet to find the anti-prohibitionist in this city who is unwill ing that the bill should pass with the amend jnent submitting it to the people.” “I have lived in Atlanta almost all my life, and expect to spend the remainder of my days hero, far be it from me to urgeanythingthat would inure to the injury of Atlanta, but in my heart 1 believe that this is the proper solution of an ever vexing question, and tho basis on Which all good citizens can unite in restoring harmony in our city affairs. Give the people the right, to say whether they shall restrain the gale of liquor to certain limits or not. Nothing could be fairer than this. I regret that certain gentlemen from the city representing the other side should tiatly place their issue on tho ground that they are afraid to go before the people on this question. lam not afraid to trust the people-on it, and I beg you to give them the right to say what they will do on this fiiattcr.” Mr. Bray—“l regret to differ from my col league. While there is a wide difference be tween us on this question, there is no personal difference between us. “Under the general local option law the ques tion was submitted to the voters of Fulton County. The fight was a warm and gallant one anil resulted in a majority of 225 for prohi bition. That the law has been evaded is no concern of this body. Bad men will violate {he law anywhere. The people of Fulton county settled the question at tho polls, and all parties should have grounded their arms, it was not done. Crimination and recrimina tion were indulged in, injuring the material jntcresrs and good feeling of the city. “The people of Fulton county' want to stand 'by the act. The prohibitionists are opposed to {he pending bill. Seven-tenths of the anti brohibitionists are opposed to it. I do not epeak unadvisedly, but from personal contact with the people. W. It. Hill, of the firm of .Cox, Hill & Thompson, told me: ‘You are Right.’ “What is high license? It is nothing but (high taxation. It violates the spirit of the Constitution. High license means high dives lor the center, but no low dives. It means .to give t.o „tlie monied few tho right to sell Whisky.” . Mr. Howell—“ Will you explain why you •Object to submitting it to a vote of the people Mr. Bray—“l am not opposed to the people (Voting. But I am opposed to asking a man to make a fool of himself, to stultify himself. The bill is unjust and unequal in its operation. It is legislating fora f>w .and is only a subterfugp. The friends of the bill are not willing to trust the people, for they want to put it (high li cense) in the organic law. I am not afraid to trust the people, for they will never go back to the unrestricted sale of whisky. The bill ii Class legislation. I am a democrat and opposed to monopoly of al! kinds, especially a monopoly of dives. An election will be held on the 20th of November. Ido not want to Seo Atlanta torn up by two elections, and the strife continued. I have no doubt about it, for I know and believe that a majority of the peo ple do not want this bill. The prohibitionists arc a unit in opposition to the bill. Those anti prohibitionists, who do not expect to leap a benefit from this monopoly, are not in favor of this bill. “In tho prohibition election.South Bend dis trict polled hOO vote,, whereas her voting Strength is bOO. This shows that 500 Atlanta votes voted there, and that tho prohibitionists had a majority in the city. Tho vote in the city council was 7to 0. Mr. Hemphill, a pro hibitionist, was not there, but dodged the Vote.’’ Mt. Howell—“ Mr. II mphill stated that he Was not opp' Xed to tli<- :i' endment submit ting the bill to the peopo-. and wlien the bill va first before the council he voted for the nar row limits.” Mr. Bray—“ Then Jet him go to council and yote that way.

Wed— A« a u'atae of I'uloa county, I represent tho city of Atlanta and pay attention to their requests. This bill lias been termed class legislation. It makes n.o differ ence who it hurts, there is no doubt that tho people of Atlanta have the right to vote on it every two years. Tho argument was used in the last campaign that certain streets in At lanta had been deluged with liquor, and it added to their votes. If it is wrong to sell whisky, why object to this bill? It is said that there are milk-and-cider prohibitionists who w ill vote for high license, but if the res triction is not made will vote for prohibition. “A proper license is the idea of the whole country. If you can fix tho license at SSOO you can fix it at $1,500. In a city of tho size of Atlanta $1,500 is no money for ;» license. Tho city of Atlanta ought to have whisky for sale, (good whisky.) in her central part, where parties can get it without being forced to go outside where they can only get ‘decayed in testine’ whisky.” “The law of God and of man is not against pure whisky.” “Atlanta has been injured by the sending ot money to Griftin and other places for liquors for those who voted against the sale, (some of them,) purchase it. I sent to a town and got brandy at $2.50 per gallon that I had to send back.” “Prohibition may do in small towns but not in Atlanta.” “I never drank a glass of corn whisky in my life, and I don’t drink beer. Tho city council worked on the bill for a year. The bill places the barrooms in the business cen ter, where they ought to be.” Mr. Bray—“ The bill violates the principles of true democracy, and of popular sovereignty. It is a disturbing element injected into the local option law. Tho people do not want it. Prohibition has redounded to the moral and material interests of Atlanta. I appeal to prohibitionists to vote down this bill. Take mj- word for it, Atlanta will never be deluged with whisky. T’he bill in its operation is prac tically class legislation. It denies to the poor man what it gives to tho rich. There is no danger of invasion from whisky. The people won’t vote for high license.” [Applause.] THE ARGUMENT CONCLfHED. Mr. Howell concluded tho debate on tho question. He stated that he regretted that his col league in opposing this bill had enunciated the doctrine that it was undemocratic to submit any question to the people. It was tho first time that he had ever heard such a statement on any question involving the right of the peo ple to settle that question themselves. Tho bill specially prov ided that nothing could come of the law until it was first submitted to tho people and passed upon by them at their next regular municipal election. It provided for no extra election, but was simply to be. voted on for ratification or rejection at the regular municipal election in December. . “Before proceeding with the discussion I de sire to make a brief statement in reference to a remark made by myself in my first brief talk. I then stated that a prominent minister in this city had said in the committee on corporal ions that rather than vote for a restriction bill like this, he would prefer to see thei ity deluged in whisky. lam free to say that that, expression was figurative, but it uas made directly by in ference, for while, the gentleman referred to did not use that expression directly, he did so in so many words by stating to the commiiteo that rather than vote for such a bill as this he would prefer to see whisky back in Atlanta like it was before prohibition was adopted. I make this statement in justice to him. because I do not want to quote him wrong. It is merely a play on words, for while he said the latter, he could have only meant the former. “The bill first restricting the limits was in troduced into the council by the prohibitionists, and Messrs. Hemphill. Bell and Rice, all pro hibitionists. voted for it, and it was adopted by a prohibition council. 1 urge that the bill bo passed with the amendments. This city coun cil is composed of good, honest, men, aiid they have recommended the passage of the bill with these amendments. They are acquainted with the affairs of the city, and they know what they are doing in asking yon to pass this bill. The central portion of the citv is closely built up and requires diligent police surveil lance. We simply ask you to give us the right, in case Atlanta' goes wet again, to check the unrestricted sale, and confine it to the business part of the. city, where it will be under proper police protection. This bill provides that it shall be sold on first floors, With no screens, no games of chance allowed, mid the sale of liquor to minors or drunken men forfeits the license. The bill is founded on morality, and on the prosperity of the city and in fighting it the prohibitionists of the city of Atlanta simply show that their pretense at morality is a fraud, and the truth is not in it. [Applause.] “I am tired of seeing this city rent from limit to limit by this agitation. lam tired of seeing the houses of good citizens shadowed by detectives who grab innocent men as they march from doorways, and hurrying them to the stationhouse, force them to submit to the indignity of a public search. That is what it has come to in the city of Atlanta. It is time for this hypocrisy to stop! [Applause.] A young man was arrested on the streets, car ried to the stationhouse, and publicly search ed. A prohibition recorder dismissed the case. Such infamy our people arc tired of. Put a stop to this breeding of hypocrites. [Ap plause.] We are tired of seeing our pulpits daubed in political infamy and debased with personal blackguardism. The people w ill rise against it, and wo ask you tohelp us settle this question on a proper basis, which good citizens have agreed upon, and submit to you in the pending bill.” THE BII.T, DEFEATED. On the call of the yeas and nays the bill was defeated, receiving 10 votes for it and 94 against We are willing to bear personal testimony to the efficacy and value of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which we have been advertising some years in our paper, having used it for blood impurities with great success. It is a preparation of standard merit, made of perfectly pure ingre dients, and thoroughly effective in cleansing and purifying tho system. For erupt ions, boils, etc., it can bo relied upon everytime. Our own experience with it has been most gratify ing, and we are glad to give it this endorse ment. —Athol, Mass., Transcript. THE BRIBE'S HH.EMA. Clara Bell Tells How a New York Belle Wa Worried on Her Wedding Day, It was reserved for a bride lately to suffer a complication of accidents, and get married af ter all, in the Little Church Around the Corner, in New York. The young lady left the house and got leu blocks away when she discovered that she had not put on her bridal veil. This was no fool of a veil, either. It was not the regular square of blonde lace, but a lovely Brussels net, richly wrought by the nuns in the convent of the Sacrc Cteur,in Montreal. Back went the bride for this g trgeous portion of her raiment. It was thrown over her in the car riage, and the wedding procession again started. This time a breath of air produced an inclina tion to sneeze, The poor bride repressed it, but it escaped at last,and,oh, horror on horror’s head! Her white satin waist split from belt to shoulder. Here occurred a halt, This time at a little shop, where thread and needle were obtained,and the gaping space with difficulty was covered. At last, much too late, that unfortunate wo man reached the church. In stepping nerv ously from the carriage, the lace bottom of an under petticoat caught on the step,and she felt the fastening give way. Every step up the ide she could feel that cruel skin slip, slip, till 'die I should have to step out of it at tho very altar. I She took a grip on the side, and on she went. ; During the entire service she clung to it like I grim death. She let go for a moment to got ; her glove off for tho ling, and when she re- ■ sinned her hold she felt that it had gained on I her. She might have been married with the catechism for all she J.new. She had these thoughts “Will that petticoat be dropped in I the isle.orwill f slud it on the sidewalk before the mob us 1 climb into the <-.irii.ige?

Old Blue, a Hound of Anderson ville Fame. THE OLD FASHIONED GIN-AROUND. “I want you to take cr look at my hounds, ’’ said old man Plunkett as ho arose from the table with a pone of corn bread in his hand and made his way to tho back porch. “That speckled pup,” continued the old man as ho broke a piece of bread from the pone and tossed it toward the dogs, “is tlie best stock of hounds that was ever in Georgia.” The old man tossed another piece of bread toward the dogs, which called for a general scramble among them, and the manner in which the ‘pup’ jumped with open mouth to catch it would have done honor to au expert baseballist. “The man that owned that dog's grand daddy wouldn’t er took SSOO in gold for him. The follow lived down in Pike, on Flint river, and the old dog’s name was Blue. “Old Blue,” continued the old man, “was known by many er yankeo before the war was through with, for he kept his master outen the army and give him er easy place at Anderson ville when it was mighty hard ter git erround goin’ ter ‘the front,' as they called it. “Some er the yankee prisoners at Anderson ville b’lievcd old Blue had more sense than his master, and there, w as one long Indianian there who used to say that he had more sense than the whole southern confederacy. “Old Blue was kept at Andersonville ter track the prisoners when they’d get away, and he got so that ho know’d his business’s well’s folks, and all you had ter do was to say, ‘Y'ank, Blue, yank;” and he'd be circling erround tho stockade and outer the track before the other dogs would get through barking and prancing erround the fellow that blowed the horn. “Old Blue didn’t have no enemies ernrong the yankees though, and he seemed ter be sorry for tlie poor fellows, just like folks, and he had er hole in the stockade that ho used ter slide through and go all erround ermong them, and he fared just as well ermong the yanks as ho did outside ermong the robs, for narry one didn't have nothing ter brag on in the way of eatin’, and thar’s many er man that had rather ter have been old Blue than either yank or reb. Them war times! “Thar was one little yankeo in the stockade that old Blue had made friends wilh, and thar never was cr day passed that ho didn’t slide through his hole, in the fence and go in and see him. After erwhile that little yankeo was took down sick and couldn't have much ter do with the old dog, ai.id old Blue ho looked like, ho was er grievin’ tlio same ’s folks, and I always will believe he did. After tho fellow begin ter git purty weak from his sickness, and cr passel of ’em thought ho was or goner, old Blue got so he’d go ter sec him two and three times er day, and one day when he slid in he had cr big fat rabbit in his mouth, and ho went up ter where tho sick yankeo was lyin’ and laid the rabbit down and stood and looked at the sick man, as much as ter say, ‘this is for you.’ Two or three fellows tried tey git the rabbit away from old Blue, bitt he’d begin ter bristle up an’ growl as soon as they’d start towards him, and nobody couldn’t git it, till at last the sick fellow took er notion ter try and git it, and lie didn't have er bit er trouble, but tho old dog wagged his tail and pranced erround as if he was pleased, and that was why old Blue got up the name ermong tlie yankees of having so much sense; and I think they were light, for I’ve seed some mighty smart dogs in my day, and no man never had er truer friend than er good old-fashioned Georgia hound, if they do kill er sheep now and then. “That little yankeo got well alter erwhile, and he'd been so sick that tlio guards were sorter slack on him, and the first thing any body knowed, one mornin’ before day he lit out and made for the woods, and everybody thought he’d git erway; for they didn’t be lieve old Blue would run him. The alarm was given, and Ed Turner was on his horse in e’r minit, and blow'd his horn, mid old Blue was thar ’fore you could er turned round twice, and some of ’em told Ed that his dog would fail him this time, and that he’d better keep right up with him or he wouldn’t git the prisoner. Ed was kinder jubas hisself, for he know’d how friendly old Blue was to the litile yankeo, so he didn’t say much, but set his doe out to find tlie track, and it warn’t long ’fore old Biuc raised his head and barked, and Ed he agged him on, and purty soon he struck out up the branch er opening at every jump, and Ed he put the spurs ter his horse ter keep up, lint lie couldn’t , and purty soon the dog was so far ahead that you could hardly hear him bark, but all at once Ed stopped his horse and list ened and ’lowed, ‘Old Blue’s bayed Idm;’ and then ho rid in cr hurry, for ho was orfeard the little yankee would pet his old dog and stop him from barkin’, and then it would bo good bye, yankee—they couldn’t catch him. “Bat you ought ter’vo seed that old dog! The little yankee did try ter hush him up and slop him from barkin'; but no, sir-reo, tho bark kept up, and when Ed got in sight of 'em the little yankee was tryin’ ter go for’ard, er suappin' his finger and cr talkin’ good ter old Blue, but it didn't ermount to cr thing—he kept cr barkin’ and er runnin’ erround in front of tho yankee, as much as ter say, ‘I don’t want ter bite you, but yon inusn’t git erway,’ till Ed ho rode up mid made the capture and took him back. The soldiers that guarded erround the stockade 'lowed that old Blue was just like them erboiit the matter—they were sorry for the yankees and didn't want to hurt ’em, but it was ther duty to keep ’em from giftin’ erway, and they were bound ter do it. Old Blue bad sense, and I wouldn't take er hund'ed dollar bill for that thar ‘pup,’ ’cause he’s of that stock. The old man made his way for his favorite scat, on the front porch, and motioning me to a chair, ho continued: “Thar's not many women that likes hounds erround, ’cause er hound is nior'n apt ter stick his bead in er dinner pot if ho gits cr chance, and er heap of ’em sticks eggs, but wliar thar’s boys ter whistle and hounds ter bark, things baint lonesome, mid I never knowed cr trav eler refused er night's rest at er house whar these are found. “Jn my raisin’every boy had his coon and 'possum dogs, and whar thar was er good lot o'boys in the family you war mighty apt ter sec er good many hound -. There were four brothers of us, and we all had our hounds, and erlong this time o’ the year, when the grapes wore ripe erlong every fence row and 'simons er plenty in the old fields, we'd pick our two hundred pounds of cotton crpicco every day and follow the hounds at night, and in them days I never hc'rd er young follower talking erbout being tired. “Boys arc different these days, and they tell me it’s all for the best, but I can't help from thinking of tho times when we’d fight out to the field on er frosty morning, hollerin’; Iliel < r de;-.

Perfect Arts of Preserving tho Dead in the Southern Republic. Mexican Correspondent Troy Times. Even among tho northern Indians mnmify ing was frequently resorted to for people of dis tinction. Beverly, who wrote in 1722, says in his “History of Virginia, n with great squan dering of capitals: ~T kc Indians are religious in presoryimx the Corpses of their Kings and Rulers after Death, which they order in the following manner: First, they neatly Hay off the Skin as entirely as they can, slitting it only in the back ; then tlu*y pick all the flesh oil’ the. Bones as t lean as possible, leaving the Sinews fastened to the Bones, that they may preserve the .hunts together; then they dry the Bones in tho sun and put them into the skin again, which in tho meantime has kept from drying or shrinking: when tho bones arc placed right in the Skin, they merely till up tho Vacuities with very lino white sand. After this they sow up tho skin again and tho Body looks as if the Flesh had never been removed. Thev take care to keep the skin from shrinking by the use of a little Oil or Grease, which saves it also from corruption. The Skin being thui prepared, they lay it in an apartment for thatpurnose upon a shelf raised from the Floor. This Shelf is spread with Mats for the Corpse to rest easy on, and screened with tho same to keep it from the Dust. The Flesh they lay upon hurdles in tho sun to dry, and when it isi hoioughly dried, it is sewed up in a Basket and set at the foot of th© Corpse to which it beloiu s. In this Place they also set up a Cuioccas (idol), which they believe will be a guard to the corpse. Hero, Night or Day, one or the other of the Priests must give his attendance to take care of the Dead Bodies. So great an honor and venera tion have these unpolishi People for their Princes, even after they are dead.’’ A still older writer improves upon this Noi th American Indian recipe for making mummies in the ciuaint phraseology of his times. Says he: “Tlieir bodies are first bowoled, then dried till very dry, ami so about most of their joy nt > and necks they hang bracelets or chain's of copper and such like, as they us© to wear, Their inwards they stuff v ith beads, and such trail. They then hippo Hu m very carefully in white skins, and so rowle them in mats for their winding sheets. And in the Tombe, which is an arch made c.f mat they lay them orderly. What, remaineth of this kind of wealth their kings have, they set at their feet in baskets. The burials ended, the women having painted all their faces with •black cole and oylc,’ doe sit twenty four hours in their houses, mourning ami lamenting by turns with such yelling and how ling as may express their great passions.’’ In Alaska, up to comparatively modern times, the dead have been inurmnilied. W. 11. Dall, in his re< < nt works on “The Northwest Coast,” tells us that within the last half c n tury, bodies havebeen eviscerated,clcased from fatty matters in running water, dried ami placed in < ascs, wrapped in fur ami woven grasses. The body was usually doubled up into tho smallest compass ami the mummy rase suspended, so as not to touch tho ground, in some convenient rock shelter. Soim times, howexer, the prepared body was placed in a life-like position, dressed and armed. Some were made, to look as if engaged in a congenial occupation, such as hunting, fishing, sewing, etc. With them were also placed eliigic'J of the animals they wore pursuing, while the hunter was decked in his wooden armor and provided with an enormous mask, all orna mented with feathers and a counth ■> variets of wooden pendants colored in gay patterns. All the Alaska mummies wear ma-iks, r. > ar ranged that the wearer, if erect, could only sec the ground at his feet. These were also worn at their religious flam es, from the belief that the spirit which was supposed to animate a temporary idol was fatal to whoever might look upon it while so occupied.
