MORALITY, NORTH AND SOUTH.


The idea of prohibition Is to stop
drunkenness, and in some of The North
ern States, such as Iowa, Maine and
Kansas, the policy of prohibition has be-
come State policy. The leaven is at
work also in our various Southern COM
munities, and the time is not far distant
vixen the matter must become of social
and political Importance in Texas. 1t
is, therefore, significant to noto the COM
paraLive morality Of the South as
against that of the North in estimating
the necessity and demand for strict pro-
hibitory laws. 1t is not possible for
drunkenness to reach that degree III the
Southern climate that is noticed in the
North. Beer and wine may become
here popular and universal beverages,
but for eight months in the year at least,
whisky drinking is too ruinous in
the South to be INDUCED. 1t Is in a
word not possible to drink as much
whisky South as at the North, and this
fact is verified by all intelligent wit
nesses and observers, some of whom are
astonished at the difference.
Among the latter is the Maine COM
missioner to the New Orleans EXPOSE
ton, Mr.. j. b. HAM. From New
Orleans exchange we copy the follow
ing relative to Mr.. HAMS utterances:
Gle writes to the Lewiston Journal
that rum shops are plenty and teetotal-
ers In the minority, but in the whole six
months of his residence here he had not
seen six drunken men within the city's
corporate limits, Mr.. HAM, who is a
Prohibitionist, does not attempt to ex-
plain this singular fact. He says: III
may be in the quantity or the quality Of
the beverages drunk and it may be in
the climate.' But he leaves the solution
of the problem to longer-headed
philosopher"
What Mr.. HAM says is the universal
verdict of all observers. There is not the
drunkenness in the South that is seen
in the North. AS this intelligent look.
or on intimates, it "may be in the eli.
There is not that necessity for stringent
prohibition in the South that exists in
the North, for the very climate is a tenn
peranCe agent OF surprising power. But
what is true of the relative drunkenness
of the North and South is true in every
other respect. The most heinous crimes,
the greatest violation of the moral code,
as chroniclod by the daily press, appear
in tho cold North, and singular as 1t may
seem, facts prove that the "hot blood OF
the South" has fewer criminal elements
in it that thesluggish blood of the North.

THE EMPTINESS OF POLITICS

r. NJ. II. HUNTER, forty years ago
speaker of the National House of Rep
resentatives, then for two terms in the
United States Senate and afterward in
the Confederate Cabinet, has been APP
pointed to $1,000 position in Virginia
under the present administration.
This simple fact contains lesson,
and IL Is, to put IL briefly,
the "splendd emptiness" of politi-
cal life. Mr.. BAYARD has in his con-
sular and diplomatic appointments res
directed scores OF once brilliant politi-
clans like HUNTER, now only too glad
to gather and live upon the crumbs that
fall from the government table. How,
indeed, are the mighty fallen when
hose once high and powerful in the ma
TONS councils are not only content, but
anxious to take the lowest positions In
the public servicel II is the vanity OF
vanities and carries with IL the moral
that the rising youth of the country
should heed.
In this month thousands of young
men are graduating at. the many coll
leges in the United States. Attracted
by the fame and position of great mon,
the majority Of them will enter the
learned professions, and probably two
out of every three dream OF political
distinction. Such little incidents as
this OF HUNTER, and indeed of many
appointments recently, ought to teach
these young men the folly and empti
ness of ambition and direct their
thought and purposes to more substan-
tlal fields than the uncertainties of mol
itlcs.
This IL an age OF progress,o great ma
terial achievements, and those men
draw the highest prizes who forget or
put aside the rosy dreams of political or
professional distinction and address
themselves to the trades and mechan-
les. EADs or DE LEssEPs, reaping a
golden harvest annually in the world OF
material progress, are far higher types
OF manhood and more incentive exam
