The Prohibitionists have suffered
three great defeats this year. The
first was in Michigan. The question
t>[ prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors in the
State by amendment to the constitu
tion was Totedou in April. The cam
paign which proceeded the election
was an exciting and the vote was
jemarkabie for its size# The majority
against the amendment was small,
not being «juite 6,000, The next
notable ooutest was in Texas. It was
the most exciting campaign in the
history of the State. Money, speak
ers, and printed matter for and against
Prohibition were freely furnished by
those outside She State who were in
terested in the contest. The result
was a triumph for the ami-Proliibi
tkmists, who defeated the amendment
a majority of over 90,000. Last
week’s tlectinn in Tenuessee closed
State Prohibition contests for this
year. Dot the indications are that the
Tennessee Prohibitiuaists will resume
the fight at the convening of the Gen
eta! Assembly upon a local option line
}t is it demonstrated fact, that the
people of tliis nation do not want a
“kaiiff for revenue only”; ami it is
equally as evident that they do not
want every home product protected
absolutely agaiuat foreign competition
One thing certain, the farmer, common
laborer, and mechanic reap no benefit
from a high i&ufi, but on the other
kaud it is largely against their interest
A dispatch from Chattanooga to
fche Atlanta Constitution says: “As a
leault of ths Prohibition agitation, the
saloon men of the city have taken a |
voluntary pledge to refiain from do
ing business ou Sunday, aad sjeeifie*-
alry invite the authorities to aid them !

Jaw.” It is peculiarly strange how
good soma j-eople get when near the
ijrave.

The Unwritten Life,
We read the bioginphies of famous
personages, and admire and commend
their noble aims and achievements,
and secretly wish our own lives had
been cast in a sphere so exalted and
removed from the common place anx
ieties and perplexities that consume
and annoy a large portion of the hu
man tamih.
But liovv little do we know of that
inner life which lies so closely veiled
under the glitter and glamour of that
exteiior guise of steieotyped ease and
happiness. Those very characters
which so excite our admiration and
envy, and whose position and circum
stances seem to exempt them from
all human sorrow and reverses, are
often the individuals whose lives are
exceptionally subjected to trials and
temptations that the world has never
suspected ; and the sufferings lias been
the more poignant because toeir hon
ors and distinction have forbidden
the privacy they so much desired.
There is no sphere of power and
usefulness that does not bring its care
and unhappiness. We are told that
“in much wisdom there is much grief”
and that “as our knowledge increases,
so do our sorrows,”
Tho greatest of sovereigns have
been Ihe most wretched, and though
their lives w ere a niumph to tl»e world,
they are full of inward bitterness and
woe. Often under an exterior of ap
paieut conleuituoiii lie-beaii burnings
and writhings enough to rend our clay.
It may be that the best part of a
life never appears in his biog
raphy. It is his material achieve
ments that bring him beiore tlie world
as a gieat man ; we are told how’
many millions he amassed by his
foresight, shrewdness and good man
agement: how mauv railroads he built:
what colleges he endowed with his
name and thousands , how many sol
diers he Jed to battle ; oi how many
offices of honor and trust he filled for
his country.
All this is told with its impressive
enlargement and gilded embellishments
and then the eulogistic pen is laid
asbte. The rest is never told, and
probably should not be of some lives,
but in others the best will never be
set. before the world; the lofty prompt
ings, the secret noble desires, the he
roic saerifies; the martyr struggles to
attain a higher end and destiny than
the drift ot unsought and inevitable
agencies bad compelled. But all tins
never enters into history of human
life and cannot, because it is seeu and
known only by the Omniscient and
Omnipresent.
Millionaire Convicts Not Wanted.
From Atlanta Constitution.]
Tlie warden ot the Sing Sing prison
complains that his Restitution is be
ing over stocked with millionaire con
victs.
Rich men, as a rule, make bad con
victs, the warden says. They ask
for special favors, kick at the fare,
ineglect their work, and lose time on
account of their numerous visitors.
If so many of our wealthy men con
tinue to find iheir way behind the bars,
the profitable,.utilization of their labor
will soon become a serious problem
The fact is. our prision system was
primarily designed for poor men. No
provision was made for the millionaire
element, and convicts of the Jacob
Sharp class are just like so many
elephants on the hands ot the piision
authorities.
The experiment of establishing sep
arate pardons for rich criminals has
not been suggested, but we may
have to come to it. In the meantime,
one cannot* help wondering whether
our rich men are growing worse, or
whether onr criminal laws arc better
administered than formerly. .Justice
is certainly catching bigger fish in
her net than she has b;en aecustomed
to handle There is no doubt about it.
British war ships seem no more able
to keep out of the way of trading
vest-els than aie those of the Ameri
can navy. The Canada, an ironclad,
has torn off her rani and filled herself
half full of water in attempting to ran
down a little lnmbei-iadeu bark.
The bark was not sunk. There may
be something valuable to be learned
from the namerous accidAts of this
kind. Why not abandon wH* build
ing ot $2,060,000 steel battle-ships to
defend our harbors, get a lot of cheap
brigs.schoo-ners etc., and anchor them
where the enemy can find them with
out much trouble? It experience is
worth anything, they would disable
his whole fleet.

One of the odd things of life is that
every man knows bow to woo a wo
man, sail a boat, drive a horse and
run a newspaper without any previous
experience. That one little fact ac
counts for a gicat deal of trouble in

But the oddest of all things in this
respect, is that ever jack-leg politician
thinks he knows better bow to run a
railroad than men who have spent
years in the business. If k were not

America are in charge of the railroads
