We sufficiently appreciate the
“Working World,” published at At
lanta, to wish it abundant success
a:d a place in every laboring man’s
home. The laboring class of people
of this country have a cause for or
ganization if ever any class of people
did. There ie a tendency to
create a prejudice against these or
ganizations by representing them as
containing an element or propogating
doctrins socialistic or anarcbal in their
nature. While the organizations in
their platform are far lrom being re
medially periect and in many parts im
practicable, yet the aggressive move
ments ot capitalists and monopolists
nerds counteraction by concert of ac
tion on the part of the working people.
Rut we do not see tho necessity, as is
the seeming disposition, for the la
boring people to organize a new party
for the pnrpose, There is to much
of a disposition on the part of the
teachers of a retorui movement to de
cry present things and eulogize the
past. The laboring people will more
effectually accomplish their ends by
any other way than by an attempt to
annihilate either, or both, of the two
existing parties. . Nor are either of
tire two parties accountable for tire
causes that demand an organization of
the working man. There is an anal
ogy existing between the plan adopt
ed by the temperance people and the
one should be adopted by the laboring
class.
A dispatch from Washington states
that among the Congressmen the
proposition to take the tax off of
whiskey hardly finds a supporter,
while there is a strong seutiment in
taking it off of tobacco and reducing it
on domestic bran lies. As to these
aiticleß, we firmly believe the dispo
sition as expressed in perfect harmony
with the will of the people. As to
the disposition of masses oi the Amer
ican people on the tariff question, not
even an approximate idea can he form
ed. There is, aside as a party question,
a decidedly strong tendency in favor of
a reduction on imports, but to what
extent even the Democratic party is
divided, and this party must be look
ed to tor a reduction, The two ex
treme isaues are represented by the
the terms "free trade” aud "protec
tion.” Neither of these terms in
their absolute significance meets with
any favor, though a means is hardly
what is sought after. There are some
manufactnied productions that ought
to be protected against foreign mar
kets, while there are others that need
hot lit tie or none at all. What should
or should not be protected, must be
left, to a great extent at least, to the
wisdom and honesty of our statesmen.
But »*n general principles, a tariff for
revenue only is alone consistent with
the character and institutions of onr
government. On one side is arrayed
the capitalist, on the other, the far
mer. Both havo ' interest to" be con
sldered.

cupy it, having purchased a first class

wrong in the decission, unless the

p United! States Trlson In Ceorgia.
The Constitution has frequently, in
times past, alluded to the necessity
which exists mr a United Slates piison
in Georgia. That necessity is greater
now than ever. It is cruel to send
men lrom Georgia to Albany to serve
their terms, and it is equally as cruel
to throw them into the crowded coun
ty jails. We have seen some ot the
effects ot this in Atlanta, where in
carceration has amounted to a death
penalty. Only the other day a Unit
ed States Judge in Georgia discharg
ed a number .of prisioners rather than
commit them to the inclemency of a
county jail, and this judge is in favor
of building a United States prison in
Georgia. Let congress, especially the
Gtorgia delegation, take hold of the
matter in earnest. It is a matter that
needs attention—Atlanta Constitution.
“Pass it around,” and we hope
Congress will pass it through.
Prohibition In Atlanta.
From the Cumberland Prosbytcrian.]
A most exciting campaign lias just
ended in Fulton county, Ga., and the
city of Atlanta. The law prohibit
ing intoxicating liquors was again
voted on last Saturday (November
26), and was this time defeated by a
majority of over eleven hundred. The
dispatches tell us that every ward in
the city and every precinct in the
county save one voted for the sale of
liquor Two tears ago Prohibiton
triumphed by 228 majority. During
this interval the number ot voters in
the city and county has laigely in
creased, the registration this year ex
ceeding that of last year by two thous
and,
llow is this defea* to he accounted
for? What will he its effect on the
cause of Prohibition in other places?
Tlrse are questibns#yhich, with the
meager data in our possession, it is
not easy to answer,
One thing is undoubtedly true. The
Prohibitionists of Atlanta had to
fight the money of the whole whisky
power of the United States. With
the negro vote, the admitted “bone
of contention and hallaneo of power,”
this made it a difficult battle for the
temperance people to win. The day
before the election in Atlanta dis
patches told of a mysterious "medicine
man,”a dispenser gift to the colored
people, “YelloAStone Kit,” who ap
peared on the scene three months be
fore. Just before the election he
boasted that lie had more money than
all the Prohibitionists, and at the
light time—on tlie eve of election day
—he declared himself in favor ot the
anti-Prohibition side. It was said
that there were two thousand negroes
of Atlanta whom he had so v/nn over
that they were ready to die fighting
for him, May it not be that this dis
guised agent of the whisky ring, and
such as he, were the potent instru
ments in securing the results so pleas
ing to the whole national fraternity
of saloou keepeis?
The dispatches’state that almost
every minister in the city p.ieached
Prohibition from the pulpit Sunday
after Snnuav; that the Churches or
ganized committees of ladies who
took an active part in the campaign,
and that the women of the colored
Churches met with their white sisten
daily in prayer-meetings. There are
other statements sbowiAr that the
Christian people and all mor
al element -re on the side of temper
ance, \\ c uelieve this saloon victory
was gained by the massing ot the
worst elements —the purchasable votes
—under the leadership of those who
have a money interest in tlie traffic.
The uncertain element —those afraid
of injuring their business or losing
patronage, aud who put no conscience
in their votes —seem to have been won
to the saloou side.
Atlanta never had a fair test of
Prohibition. The license granted Le
tore local option was voted did not ex
pire till a year ago; and, under the
native wine clauseofthe law, wine
rooms were kept open in many parts
of the city. Yet we have positive tes
timony that the condition o the peo
ple had been greatly improved by even
this imperfect intorcement of the law.
We do not, therefore, believe the dis
patch which announces that "the
death knell ot prohibition legislation
has been sounded.” W ith the best
people, the praying, people,, against
the saloon, with the good results of
the experiment of the past months ad
mitted, we believe that earnest work
for this cause will be speedily renew
ed even in Atlanta, and that Prohibi
tion will in the end triumph there and
throughout the country. lie who
imagines that one or a dozen such de
feates will end the fight greatly mis- ,
takes the nature of the conflict.

A number of revenue officers raided Sand

which they found and destroyed. They
then hid themselves in the bushes and watch

shiners made their nppesrince, and as soon
as they saw the revenue officers they opened
out .on them with double barclled shot guns.
The officers returned the fire, and for ten
minutes a terrible battle lasted from behind
treos and’rocks. After the moonshinars had
used up all their ammunition, they le’t the

and that at least one-half of the people will

Amerieus, «a., Record: The beginingnf
the end of one of’the saddest cases ever
known in Amoricus occurred hero yesterday
afternoon. We refer to the sending of Mr.
and Mrs S S Sulivan to the insane asylum
Only a few years ago Mr Sntivan was one of
the staid reliable business men of Americus.
He occupied a rseponsible and lucrative posi
tion in a la go establishment; had been there
for many years, and was respected and es
teemed for his integrity and moral worth.
The passion for drink was his downfall. He
grew to neglecting business until his em
ployer, after giving him month*after month
of trial, finally discharged him. A short
time afterward he was taken ill, and for a
long time lay between life and death. He
finally partially recovered, but he was so
weak that he was unable to fully do what
was given him. From one source to another
his wife andjchildren were driven into pover
ty until finally, it seems, in pitty for the
poor unfortunates, their minds gave way and
only a few days ago ’.jury was’ ompannotod
to see if they were' of sound mind. They
were both judged iusaiit and yesterday after
noon under the care of Dr. C. A. Brooks were
taken to the depot and sent to Milledgville.
We are not ihformed as to wbat disposition
has been made of their child but suppose it
will be taken care of. It rarely falls to our
lot to havo to chronicle such a sad, pitiful
case.
