COMMENCING THE CHALICE TO HER LIPS

COMMENCING THE CH1LICE To HER LIPS
1t appears that forty years ago The Legsla
turc of Georgia severely .rebukcd that of New
Jersey for entertaining propositions looking TO
the reputation of public obligations. The
Georgian lawmakers of the period declared
solcmnly that they regarded "the slightest
"brcach Of plighted faith, public or private, as a
"want of that moral principle upon which all
"obligation depends" They expressed the
opinion that "when any State OF this Union
shall refuse to recognize her great seal IA
"sllliiccnt evidence of her obligation She will
shave forfeited her station in the SistcrhOod of
States and will no longer be worthy of their
" confidence or respect Since then Georgia
has herself repudated and now some of her
creditors have hunted up this awkward resOlu-
ton, and talk of submitting it to the next
Legislature for approval. Thus the poisoned
chalice is commended 20 her own lips and she
is made to resemble "thc struck eagle,
stretched upon the plain" who, as all the world
knows, was extremely surprised to find one OF
her own feathers upon the arrow which had
pierced her breast.
But the penalties of reputation are various,
and this is one of them, and there can be little
sympathy for Georgia, thus condemned out of
her own mouth. States which repudiate always
sooner or later land generally sooner repent
their action. Not because they always become
honest subsequently, but because such States
are sure to be borrowers, and because rcpudia-
ton forms poor introduction to the loan
market As Il rule thrift and probity go to-
gcthcr and mnthiift and loose principles
Therefore the communities that favor rcpudia-
ton are seldom able to make both ends meet
even with the assistance Of the sponge, and
presently they sccl, outside help, and then real
izc that thcir credit has persisted. The effect of
such l1sson may be sautary. Ii may teach
the rcpudating State better morals. BY throw
ing il upon its own resources it may stimulate
its latent energies, and so enable it eventually
to recover itself But no community was ever
the direct gaincr by policy of this kind, and
getting rid of debts by cheating creditors ont Of
them never yet made the swindlerS one penny
the richer All that it does Is to add obloquy to
debt, and check progress by advertising the dis
honesty of the community.

or INTEREST TO TEuPhRNCE PEoPI

or INTEREST TO TEMPERANCE PEOPLE.
Our prohibition friend. throughout the State
were sadly disappointed at the failure of the
Legislature To pass the resolution providing
for submitting TO Il vote Of the people an amend
ment to the Constitution prohibiting the manu-
factmc or sale of intoxicating liquors. Perhaps
hope has revived in their breasts upon reading
chat the Rev Mr. DIN, the member for Broome,
WHO introduced and earnestly championcd the
amendment, Las announced his intention of
taking another vote upon it before final adj
jounmcnt. He feels encouraged to do so be-
cause on the former occasion two more votes
would have carried it.
What seems to many of the sincere and car
nest friends Of temperance as a more immcdi-
atcly useful and practical measure of reform
the high license bill-bids fair to pass the Leg
isature III some shape before the present soS-
sion closes The bill has been steadily opposed
by some extremists, but has steadily mado its
way among lcvel-headcd men. Its supporters
in this city number nearly all the names that
have been prominent in the temperance move
mcnt in its varying phases during the last quar-
ter of a century or more. And what is true of
the metropolis is equally true throughout the
that, however it may be ultimately, the time
has not yet come TO make a serious trial of pro-
hibition, and that the best thing for to-day is
high license. Mr.. Robinson in response to this
sentiment will urge the pending high license
bill in the Senate this week. 1t is now upon the
order of third reading and our correspondent
writes that it bids fair TO pass that body, after
being slightly amended. 1t will then remain
for the Assembly to concur and if the many
friends of temperance in the lower House are
vigant and faithful it ought not to fail
In the meantime we call the attention of all
friends of temperance, whether they be pro-
hibtionisto or advocates of high license, to the
fact that telegram from Baltimore conveys
the intelligence that there Is too much
whiskey in the country for the demand This
would be gratifying to them at any time, but it
must be peculiarly 50 when they reflect that
this is a Presidential year. and that the Demo-
cratic National Convention has yet to be held.

The business community had anarrow escape
last night from disasterin the shape of a terrible
conhagration in the dry goods district. Flames
broke out IN the VanvOlkcnburgh building in
which the fire of January Is, 1879, originated;
but the iiremcn made prOdigiOus efforts this
time and checked the fire, 50 that the losses
will not exceed 100000. That is bad enough !;
but not nearly so bad as it might have been.
Great obstacles were met with owing to the con-
structOn of the building. 1t is of iron, long and
narrow so that was difficult to get at the flames
on the fifth door. The water-tower, however, was
used with great success in this emergency, and
once more showed what an addition it is to the
Fire Department. 1t is to be noted that the
supply of water was entirely adequate. This
will be most encouraging to the men engaged
in business in the dry-goods district as we'll as
to the insurance companies. Their prophecies
Will perhaps take a less sombre hae hereafter

now TO Kill orr 4 CAYDTD1TE

HOW TO KILL orr 4 CANDIDITE
1t is understood that The Ercping Post of this
city is about to take out patent upon its
unique method of killing of candidate. The
method is simple, and may be briefly explained
as follows:
1st. Take a candidate, it matters not who he
may be, and fling some charges mt him. ANY
Kind Of charges will do. The fact that they are
old and have been disproyed does not matter
I'd. If any one of his loyal and devoted
friends notices the charges insist that grave
mistake has been made, since to answer charges
is to admit that they require answering.
Sd. If, on the other hand, the charges remain
mnoticed, still insist that a grave mistake has
been made, since not 10 answer charges is to
admit that they cannot be answered.
18th. Whether the charges are answered or
unanswered, point to them with solemn shake
OF the head, protesting that 1t would bo fatal
folly to nominate the man against whom they
have been preferred, since campaign under
his leadership would necessarily be- a defensive
campaign.
There you have The Posts patent method in
its entirety. There is but one criticism to be
passed upon it. In order that it should succeed

THE NILE CLOUDS.

The Egyptian complications are thckcning
The European conference promises to add TO
England's diplomatic embaTassments without
strengthening its position on the Nile. What
il is striving to obtain is modification of the
Law of Liquidation, by which the Egyptian
Ministry may be enabled to fund the floating
indebtedness, now amounting to $l0,000,0O0.
Financial difficulties may be temporarily over
come by this increase OF the funded debt, but
the incongluous relations of the British and
Egyptian Governments Will remain rs they are.
The conference moreover, may increase the
difficulty OF altering those relations. France,
extricated from campaigns OF adventure III
Tonquin and Madagascar, and with Ministry
that has been steadily gaining political au-
thority by perseyering in schemes Of foreign az
erosion, will be in IA mood to exact pledges ana
to limit the period of British occupation. The
remaining Powers will have little sympathy

The King of Spain is reported to be sick. He
certainly has trouble enough on his hands to
make him so. The instruction in Cuba is
nothing to be despised, and now incipient re-
bellion has broken out again in the eastern dis

their headquarters in Southern France. These
troubles especially those within AlfOnsOs i'm

will not hamper papers not devoted exclusively
to criminal affairs. A strict construction OF the
