Twenty Eight Millions to be Removed


Twenty-eight million dollars worth of
gold and silver and securities will be
placed in the new post office building in a
short time. This immense sum repre-
sents what United States Assistant Treas
urer Eyster has on hand. When he re-
moves from the custom house to his new
quarters on the second floor of the build
ing at Ninth and Chestnut streets he will
bring along with him as his bulklest pack
age 35514 tons of standard silver dollars
and fractional silver coin. There will be
six tons of gold coin. The mere carriage of
this pile of valuable material from Fifth
and Chestnut to Ninth street will cost the
government a good round sum. 1t will
require more wagons than are used in
cleaning the streets of the city in week.
There VIII not be much of a parade about
the affair either; but the work will be
intrusted to the Adams Express Com
pany, and the men who will ride on the
vehicles containing the silver will each
one be an arsenal on stills. In addition
to the $12,000,00 worth of silver there
will also be nearly S4,000,000 in gold coin.
This is not so bulky, but will need the
most careful watching, lest some of the
bags might lose themselves in transit.
At the present time the vaults at the
custom house are filled nearly to over
flowing, and it will be necessary to en-
gage storage room outside for the stand
ard dollars very soon.

The Prohibition Sentiment.

The sentiment in favor of prohibiting
the liquor traffic is very strong in quite
number of the states. 1t is a growing
sentiment. Last year it played quite an
important part in State and county cleo
tions. 1t will make itself felt, doubtless,
this year. In this State and Florida the
number OF prohibition counties is large,
and is gradually growing larger. The testi-
mony is that in the prohibition counties
crime has greatly decreased, and the cost
of enforcing the criminal laws is not half
what it was before prohibition went into
effect. Mr.. William Hoyle, an English
statistician, has compiled some interest
ing figures, showing the relation between
liquor drinking and crime in the United
Kingdom. His figures were published in
the London Times. In 1860, with popu-
Iation of 2S,77SO0O, the sum OF S426,-
384, $50 was spent for alcoholic
beverages. In that year the total num-
Der Of convictions for crime was 233,oO3.
In 1882 the population had increased only
% per cent. In that year the amount PAID
for Intoxicating liquors was 1851, 900, 600,
and the number of convictions for crime
was 1858. In the twenty-five years the
population had increased not quite
one-fourth, the money annually
spent for intoxicating liquors had
increased a little more than third and
the number of convictions annually for
crime had more than doubled. The con-
clusiOn which Mr.. Hoyle reaches is that
the manufacture and sale Of intoxicating
liquors ought to be prohibited.
Whether regulation or prohibition Is
the proper remedy for the liquor evil is a
question on which the wisest differ.
AS against prohibition it is
urged that it is impracticable and
impossible. 1t may succeed, and
does succeed in localities where the
prohibition sentiment is overwhelming,
but even there it is maintained only by
constant vigilance and a continuous war
fare. Regulation has been found to work
well where it has been given fair trial,
and in its favor it is urged that it is
remedy that can be very generally APP
piled. 1t is admitted, however, that it
Will require years to accomplish by regu-
lation what is attempted to be accom-
plished at once by prohibition. There is
little hope that the advocates Of the two
remedies will ever harmonic in favor of
either

THE NEW TENOR.

"
The Latest Partisan MonstrOsity-The
Voice of an Angel and the Head of
Calf.
Partisan men and women are always on
the qui viye for a new sensation. When
Gen. Tom Thumb was on exhibition he
received a quantity Of letters from French
ladies on whose too susceptible hearts the
little fellow had made an impression. The
Chinese and Belgian giants had their lit
tie successes, and the living skele-
ton cut everybody out, he was so
ethereal, so refined SO utterly, utterly
too, said the pretty DANES. But
another and a greater star has arisen,
mOnstr0sity; so striking, so entirely
unique, that his cOnQuests will have to be
counted by the score. A youth with the
perfect head of a calf and the sweetest
voice in the world. How will Partisan
beauty resist such dear, delicious calf
of tenor.
The tenor, or the calf, as you please,
called at the office Of the Fi0dfO the other
day to let the editorial staff feel his head
and hear his voice. This cross-eNamina-
ton elected the fact that Emile BoudOn
was born on farm near Lyons in 1869,
and owes his peculiar appearance to the
fact that his mother bled a calf few
days before Emile came to light. The
blood Of the animal spirited in her face,
and, in accordance with well known
physiological laws, produced Emile's eX-
traOrdinary headpiece.
Emile's lines were not cast i'm pleasant
places as a child. The village brats,
heartess little wretches, chased Emile
through the dirty streets, pelted him with
mud, or beloved m-O-O-O-o after him in
a saucy and offensive manner. For this
reason he could not 90 to school, and his
education has been sadly neglected; but
let him take heart. He Will not be the
first popular tenor who couldn't read or
write, and if he ever strikes a high d fat
he can make enough money to hire man
to answer his love letters.
Nor could poor Emile find work either
as day labOrer in the country or a fac
tory hand. The peasants looked upon
him as a monster whose parents sinned in
not smOthering him at birth, and the fac
tory hands would stop work to stare at
him, and everybody knows that where
two or three hundred men are employed
everything that abstracts their attention
for a few minutes costs 81 or $3 to the
employer So poor Emile was told to
travel. He returned to his fathers little
patch. and made himself useful in chop
ping wood and leading the cattle to water.
The latter all seemed to sympathZe with
him in his misfortunes, though some of
the stuck-up calves tried to treat him as a
poor relation.
But the enterprising proprietor of
Paris cafe concert, who happened to stop
Il dav or two in Lyons, heard of him and
drove out to the farm to see the calt-man,
as the peasants called him. He found
Emile in a corner of the lot singing to
himselfa French version of the well-knOwn
ballad:

"Yes," returned the parent, ''but if you
have no pudding you may starve yourself.

yesterday. A more whOle-souled, genial
man cannot be found, and his innate kind
ness and affable department to all has
made his name a household world in
Georgia, and rendered him universally
beloved by all who know him. He repre-
sents the best newspaper published in the
South, and we could desire nothing more
likely TO advance the moral and intellec-
tual refinement of our people than the
weekly visits Of this most excellent Jour-
nal into every household in the State. We
would hail its widespread circulation as
a most propitious omen.

The effort of NOrcrOss, LOngstreet and
company to organize a white Republican
party in Georgia, appears to have excited
some attention outside of Georgia. TIE
st. Louis Republican recommends Mr..
Norcross and his friends to read the
address OF the Rev. a. J. Warner
at silk stocking meeting in
st. Louis one night last week. {. T. Filley
is the white man in st. Louis who con-
trolls the negro vote, and good many of
the white Republican leaders don't I'M
derstand how it is that they have no in
iuence with the negroes. The Rev. War
ner told them. The following is an extract
from his speech:
ssYou all want ter know why de Filley-
ties git de black men ter vote wild 'em. l
