TIE Los Angeles Times says:

Some of our hunters think Mir. John +. Eberle's report of forty-two pound wild turkey, shot near Alma, New Mex lco, to be rather large. The same gen. tleman informs the Times that two hunters who were out four weeks prior to January lst killed 2S0 deer and eight bear. When Mr. Eberle came into Silver City few days ago he brought thirty four deer, twenty-eight turkeys, $50 pounds of deer skin and three bear skins.
 The latter part of the story, which says Mir. Eberle brought so and SD to Silver City, may be true, as that gentle man does not cloim 10 have killed the deer, turkeys ana bear. But the 2sO deer story-killed in four weeks-is rather brisk reading. It is just five deer per day, and it would keep two men very busy to bring in that many deer each day for four weeks. to say nothing about killing them. Does Eberle fish any? If he does, We should like to furnish him with bait and steamer and go snooks in the profits.

There are few If any persons In the
country now who advocate the removal of
all restrictions from the traffic in intOxi-
eating beverages. There Is not State or
city or town that does not either prohibit
the sale of liquors or impose tax TO dis
courage or hinder the same.
Prohibition laws, in a large majority Of
the minor civil divisions where they have
been adopted, are more or less effective in
accomplishing the objects for which they
are intended, In few towns or counties
can II be said that no good has
been accomplished by such laws.
In the States, however. where prohibition
has been adopted as state policy, ~ isal-
legged that comparatively little benefit has
accrued. The truth is impressed on the
minds Of unpreJudiced Observers, that
prohibtory laws must be backed 10y an
earnest and fearless popular approval TO
be OF any considerable effect.
In every state where high license laws
have been adopted there have been happy
results. In many towns and counties
high license has proved the safe and sure
stepping stone to prohibition. The imme.
diate effect OF high license laws is the In
crease OF the revenues derived from liquor
dealers. the decrease in the number OF
saloons-almost invariably the low grog-
geries are shut out Of business entirely
aud the decrease OF drunkenness and
crime.
Prohibition and high license are now
almost universally considered questions
Of policy. There are some enthusiasts
who insist on the passage Of prohibition
laws whether they can be enforced or not,
and there are very few who oppose an
sumptuary laws on the ground that they
are oppressive and contrary TO natural
rights. There are few good citizens, how
ever, as stated above, who oppose all re-
strictlye legislation, and who favor "a free
traffic In ardent spirits. The difficulty in
most places is to separate these questions
from local politics, and to prevent petty
politicians from peryerti ny them in order
TO gain a short-llyed popularity or tempo
rary advantage.

Recent heavy rains on the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta railroad of North
Carolina caused large washouts at several
places on the line. While a train was going
at the rate of 30 miles an hour, between
Charlotte and Columbia, the cars filed with
passengers, the engineer saw a light swaying
to and fro short distance ahead of him. He
barely had time 70 revers. his lever and apply
the air breaks, and the train was brought to
a stop so suddenly that the passengers were
thrown forward in their seats. The train had
been signaled by Il coored man who stood
there with the light in his haud. while at his
back, about 30 yards distant, was great gap
IN the track where tine food had swept away
embankment rails and crossties. Johnston
was verwhelmcd with thanks by the passen-
gers, and Conductor Clarkson cal ed him up,
and, IN neat speech, told him his heroic act
mad saved many lives. The negro listened at
tentiyely, aud then said:

EX-Goy. Eoyes, fOhiO, appears to have
recognized the propriety of declining the
appointment as one of the government
directors of the Union Pacific Railway
Company. The office is one of honor and
responsibility rather than profit, aud it is
alleged that Mr.. NOyes was appointed at
the suggestion Of Gov. Hoadly, of Ohio.
There are three government directors,
two of whom are members of the party in
power, and one of the party out of power.
Mr.. NOyes was selected as the Republican
member.
In appointing him it is probable that
the President forgot the part that he
played in the great fraud of 1876. He
was one of the visiting statesmen to
Florida, and he was one of those who
were instrumental In getting the Florida
vote for Hayes. 1t is said that he made
promises to the Florida Republican lead
ers in Hayes name. He was we'll rewarded
by Hayes for his services, and ought to
be permitted 30 remain with HAYES in OBJ
security. 1t was particularly inapprO-
pirate that he should have been brought
out of retirement and placed in a con-
spicuOus position by Democratic adj
ministratiOn.
There are plenty ofRepublicans against
whom nothing can be said, and it would
have been much wiser to have appointed
one Of them rather than man whose
name must be forever associated with a
transaction in the political history OF the
country that will appear more disrepu-
from it.
There ought to be such general con-
domination of the fraud of 1876, and all
who participated in it, that there would
never be an attempt to repeat it. Mr..
Noyes clearly had not the courage TO face
the Indignation that would have been
aroused by his acceptance of office under
this administration.

FROM The Pdlt NuW Gdsett6.
Here is an anecdote OF Victor Hugo, told bv
his secretary, NJ. Lesclide: a charitable lady,
NINE. Paul Meurlce used, during the siege OF
Paris to distribute the poets aims, besides
many gifts Of her own, to the necessitous dur
ing that trying time. She came one day TO
tel victor Hugo of poor woman whom she
had found in the most wretched state OF des-
titution, and Immediately received from him
100 francs for The alienation of her needy pro-
tege. A hundred francs, even with Siege
prices, could be made by care to 90 a long
way, and the poet was accordingly someW hat
surprised when next day Nine. Meurice told
hlu that Louise was as badly OF as ever"
What about the l00 francs of yesterdays"
IAN, the 100 francs. She has given them
away to poor mothers, To little children starv-
ing OF hunger and cold" Good: here is an
other 100 francs upon the express condition
she keeps them for herself"
is II only on this condition he gives them ~
sand Louise ON hearing this mes age. "EN-
actly; Then you may take them back.
Ihauk Victor Hugo for his good intentions,
for which am grateful" Nine. Meurice was
embarrassed. She dared not take the money
back to Victor Hugo. and so handed it uncon-
ditionaly to the obstinate Louise" The
obstinate Louise was no other than Louise
Michel.

The views expressed by the MORNING
NEWS few days ago relative 10 the fire
limits ordinance in this city appear TO have
been very fayorably received. 1t is proba-
BILE that If an expression Of opinion could
be obtained It would be found that a ma
jority of property owners would favor the
erection of wooden buildings in any part
! of the city now devoted to residences.
/ There is no desire to build wooden houses
In the business portion OF the city, and
there is not, therefore, any occasion for
| discussing that matter.
1t viii hardly be denied that in this
climate wooden houses are preferable.
They are not SO damp, and they have
advantages in warm weather that brick
houses do not possess.
A very great consideration is that for
the same amount Of money a very much
better wooden than brick house can be
built. 1t is probably safe to estimate
that house OF wood that would cost
$4,000 would, if built Of brick, cost 81, 800
or $4,000. The difference In favor of
wooden houses is very great.
1t is probable that if the fire limits or
dinance We're modified 30 as to allow the
erection Of wooden residences there
would be a revival almost Immediately in
building in this city.
Wooden houses would not mar the
beauty Of the city. They are built in so
many and in such various styles that they
actually add to the attractive appearance
of a city.
Health and economy are the principal
things urged in their behalf, and it would
be difficult TO find any two things of equal
Importance that can be said in favor OF
brick houses.
The City Council ought to take up for
consideration, at an early day, the ques-
tion ofmHdifying this fire limits ordinance.
There may be reasons why it should not
be modified which do not now appear.
These reasons, if any exist, would be
brought out if the Council showed dis
position to modify the ordinance. 1t is
very doubtful however, If any reason
against modification can be given that
would Offset those in favor Of it. The
real estate agents certainly favor wooden
houses, aud the insurance agents have
nothing to say against them. 1t would not
be surprising if, in a few years, the most
attractive portions of the city should be
those where wooden houses are now per-
mitted. Some very handsome wooden
houses are being erected, and they are
certain to be followed by others equally
as attractive. Let some progressive
Councilman bring this wooden house
question before the Council at an early
day.

The Governors message ia devoted
almost exclusively to a statement OF the
facts connected with the recent issue OF
bonds, and although the people Of this
State are familiar with these facts we
| publish the message because it presents
briefly and clearly the history OF the bonds
! from the time they We're authorized by
I the Legislature until they were sold at a
/ price that was exceedingly gratifying to
! every Georgian.
There is one part Of the message to
T which we desire TO direct particular at
tention. 1t is that part which predicts
that there will be no difficulty in placing
bonds to meet that part Of the
debt which falls due IN 1889 and 1890
on even more favorable terms than the
late issue was placed, provided the $780,
GOO sinking fund requirement is complied
with, and provision is made for paying
the floating debt Of the state.
There are only two ways to meet the
floating debt and tho demands Of the sink
ing fund, and these the Governor points
out. one is an increased rate oftaNation,
and the other Is a system Of assessments
that will place the burden Of taxation
equally on all taxable property.
II is pretty evident that any attempt TO
| increase the rate Of taxation will be de-
terminedly resisted, and it ought to be
resisted as long as the present ubiquitous
system Of assessments is in force. Tax
payers who deal honestly with the State
will hardly submit to the increase of their
burdens while property to the value Of
many millions Of dollars either pays no
tax at all or pays on very small portion
of its actual cash value.
Ii is a source of some satisfaction that
the Governor has brought this matter of
assessments before the Legislature, ana
the people of the State, in the shape that
he has. 1t must be seen that something
viii have to be done to meet the financial
requirements of the state, and it will also
be seen that the only thing that can be
done, that has any chance of giving salts
faction is 10 enact an assessment law
that viii reach all property that is sub
iect to taxation, and will force the dis
honest taxpayer to bear equally with the
honest taxpayer the burdens which the
necessities Of the state place upon them.
1t Is folly for the Legislature to dodge
this assessment question any longer. 1t
has got to be handled, and that, too, in a
way that will meet the approval Of the
honest, intelligent sentiment Of the state.
There are strong influences doubtless
against any plan to get an honest ASSESS
ment but If the legislators cannot resist
these influences, and are incapable Of
framing a law that will meet the emer-
gency which the Governor points out
they ought to say so frankly and give
their constituents a chance at the next
election TO elect representatives who
know what ought to be done, and who
have the capacity and courage to doit.
