Saturday Atlanta votes the second
time on Prohibition. During the
first Campaign we could form some
opinion as to the result by the tenor
ot the local press and the air of the
arguments delivered by both “sides.
Any conjecture as to the result of the
present one must be formed entirely
independent of these two things. The
Constitution is on the fence, with
both legs hanging on oposite sides.
Julius Drown is keeping his mouth
shut, and such a barking and snarling
of lesser dogs was seldom known on
any question of the kind before. Rut
there are some large ones in the fight.
Atlanta’s leading and most valuable
citizens are on one side or the other of
the question. Such a thing as ven
tral ground is hardly knotvn. As we
said before the catalogue of vilifying
adjectives auc\ vituperative epithets is
already exhausted. But all do not
engage in such language. Aside from
all arguments, unless some undue o r
very corrupting influence is brought to
be vr upon the floatiug vote by the
saloon "interest, Atlanta will vote
Prohibition by a larger rnajorith this
time than before. Any one in their
right conseience knows that the saloon
i*a curse to any people and* that
Prohibition is effectual to a great
beneficial extent. Men of prominence
may he againet Prohibition, but men
of uncorrupted moral integrity cannot
he. We hope to see Atlanta come
in fila QffQttt a larorA V
and leaving the question considerately
ju tne minds of all, wo believe it will.
‘•Fr-je whisky” originates a ques
tion that will he discussed through
the press generally. We do not think
many candidates for any State or na
tional office will venture their opinion
on the subject, consequently hut very
little will bo heard on it from the
stump or rostrum. The fact is, the
■whisky questions are getting to he
dangerous affairs, and take which
ever side a political aspirant may, he
js apt to be “snowed under.” It’s
a “hug” in politics. We do not
know what j>er cent of the press force
is advocating that the whole whisky
affair be turned over to State govern
ment, but do not think it of sufficient
strength to effect that end soon if ever.
To take the internal revenue, or na
ti inal lestriction, off whisky, it would
then be a fight between the States as
lo which could furnish the most “free
whisky.” and then there may be plaus
ible reasons for apprehending that
the country would start on a “home
rail” for the devil sure enough.
The W. C. T. U. has about ad
justs! the noose preparatory to com
mitting suicide in the Southern State.
A few days ago a convention was

of universal brotherhood and social
equality. As a conseqnance. a resolu
tion was adopted - ‘to strike till the

frage expires as well as for the anni

Our Washington Letter,
Fro n our regular correspondent.]
Washington D. C., Nov. 21, 1887.
The busy seems in and around the
Capitol indicate the coining session
will he an unusually exciting and im
portant one. Everything is now in
readioess for it, anil the heavy mails
rt cieved at both the Senate and House
Post Offices, show that many of the
States' Representatives are already
here. The new Members are getting
initiated into the wavs of doing bus
iness within the marble walls ot the
building, so as to be ready from the
first to put fulfil their best and most
effective eflorts in behalf of the interests
of their respective States. Speaker
Carlisle is hear to stay, and is in con
ference with prominent Members ot the
last Congress, who have been returned
to this, discussing the “make up” of
the numerous committees of the House
The contest for his seat gives him no
uneasiness, and his numerous friends
place his election to the Speakership
as a certainty. lie is in frequent
consultation with the President, and
it is believed that the two are endeav
oring to formulate some acceptable
plan for the settlement of the tariff'
question. Some Members think that
the Committees will he announced
before the Christinas holidays, but
the best informed say that it is im
possible. It always happens that
after the slates are made up many
tilings arise, after the assembling of
Congress, to change them. The views
of the several Members on different
subjects become better kn iwn after
the distinguished gentlemen meet to
gether at the Capitol, and this often
leads to a change in the Committees
generally in the interest of carrying
out the policy previously decided upon.
Everything now concerning Congress
must be iu glittering generalities, but
in the course of three weeks your cor
respondent can get down to hard facts.
An official list of members of the
next House shows that there are IGB
Democrats.lso Republicans, and 4 In
dependents. The Independents are
Anderson of lowa, Nichols of North
Carolina, Ilopkins of Virginia, and
Smith of Wisconsin. In the Demo
cratic caucuses it will require 85 votes
to nominate. There are 25 Senators
and 32 Representativss now in the
city.
The Post Office Department for
the first time iu its history has reached
the point where it is self sustaining.
It was a common thing in the past
for Congress to be called on to appro
priate from $8,000,000
for deficiencies until last year,
when it was reduced to $4,000,000,
.>uw it is nothing, ami in anncipation
of its revenues exceeding its expendi
tures. United States Treasurer
Hyatt, in his report prepared for Con
gress, recoinends that the surplus
Postal revenues be turned* into the
1 Treasury, like any other public money
Assistant Secretary Hawkins, of
the Intelior Department says that the
Pension Appeal Board of that office
is up to date with its work, having
disposed of 4,000 appeals during the
year, and that such was never known
in the history of that department.
The news is wtleome to the many pen
sioners, and they would be still happier
if the Pension Bureau was more prompt
in disposing of cases coming before it.
The Back Pay and Bounty Claims
Division of the Treasury Department
that 25,000 claims' were filed
[before it for adjutication the past
year.
Georgia lias never had a governor
of wider or better national fame than
her present executive. His very eni
mies have been forced to admit the
honesty and patriotism of his pur
poses, as set for*h in his bublic acts;
and magnetism ot his presence is ad
mitted in every State in the Union.
T he Gazette rejoices iu tho-brightness
of his fame and the power of his in
fluence, because he believes that that
power will always be exerted Lr the
glory of the State and the good or the
people —Augusta Gazette.
Mr, Carlisle says that the prospect
of passing some kind ot a tariff hill du
ring the present Congress is bettor
how than it has been siuce the days
of the Tariff Commission. It is cer
tainly time it was doing something
toward reducing the revenues. At
the rate at which the surplus is ac
cumulating all the money in the coun
try will soon bo locked up m the
Treasury.
' There were 14 000 more Prohibi
tion votes cast in New York at the
November election this year than
there were at the last Presidential
election. The Prohibition vote in that
State is certain to increase. The
rliance that the Republicans will carry
New York n xt year is not. one in a
thousand
