Prohibition in Georgia.

The excitement over prohibition in
Atlanta has spread into nearly every
suburban town, and in less than six
months every county in the state viii
probably vote for no license. Ia Monroe
on the 18th in celebration of a prohibit
ton victory every business place was
closed and big parade took place. y
long line was formed with brass band
in front, then c0lored prohibitionists, and
then white voters of the town. As the
procession marched up Broad street
porches were filled with women and
children who waved handkerchiefs and
eheered. 4 handsome coffin, in which
was placed an empty liquor bottle
entwined in one of the red Liberty"
badges, was borne by four pall-bearerS
in front of the possession. Persimmon
beer and ginger cakes were served in
abundance, after which the coffin and
its contents were buried in the court
house yard. Macon, Savannah and Col
umbus will vote on the prohibition
question in a few weeks. Not even i'll
war times was there more excitement
Throughout Georgia than now prevails.

A special to the Kansas City Times
from Washington says: That the Sec
Rotary Of the Interior has decided to
send into the President the names OF
Col. S. NJ. Palmer, Salina, to be Regis
ter, and Judge Dixson, of NeOsha
Falls, to be Receiver of the U. S. Land
Office at Salina. 1t further says that a
change will be made in a few days.
This looks as if DR.. Hodge will have to
pack his grip and go. If the people of
this district are consulted, DR.. o. +.
Searl of Solomon City will be appointed
and not Judge DixsOn. DIR. Scarf has
resided in this district for twenty years;
he is a man of unblemished character,
competent in all respects to discharge
the duties of the office. And there is
net democrat in the state that has la
bored more faithfully to promote the
welfare of the party. He is strongly
endorsed and should be appointed.
Judge Dixson is good man, but DR..
Scarf is his peer in every respect. Let
the Judge stay in his own district.

Would it not be more business like
and altogether more manly and honora-
bic if some of our money loanerS would
not talk so much on the streets of who
is borrowing money from them, and who
is likely togo under, and who is pinched?
There is few men in our midst who
seem to take delight in telling every
one they meet of the miSfOrtunes OF
others and how they are getting three
and four per cent. a month out of this
one and that one. The people do not
think you are doing anything smart; on
the contrary they look on you as blood
suckers, and instead of respecting you
for it, they have a contempt for your
boastings. A good man may be ruined

KEEPS PACE WITH AN OK TEAM.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, years ago when it's business was
smaller, done things up On lightning
order of things. A message Was then
put through in double quick time, and
as soon as it arrived at the place of
destination d messenger was out in an
instant on his way to deliver it. But
time has changed this order of things
and now days, in great many iEstan-
ces, person might as we'll start Oh
foot to deliver his message as to send
it by telegraph.
Only few days ago message was
sent in the afternoon to young man
at Harrisburg asking him to answer
Immediately as to whether he could
come to Corvallis the next morning to
attend to some business. The young
man at Harrisburg received the tele-
gram and answered that evening but
when it arrived at Corvallis the mes
sage was not delivered until the next
morning, hence it caused this young
man to lose the time and expense of a
trip clear down to Corvallis, to find
when he got here that his telegram had
not been delivered promptly and that
the parties here, i'll the meantime, had
procured some one else to do what he
came to do. This is not the only in
stance, but similar instances are hap
pening every day with this company.
The writer has sent messages from
Salem to this place one day and ar
rived here the next day before the
message was delivered. A man, some
time ago accompanied his wife to Port
land and she took the steamer for San
Francisco to visit friends. About the
time the steamer left Portland the
husband telegraphed the friends in
San Francisco that the formers wife
was on her way, and for the latter to
meet her at the steamer. The wife
reached San Francisco and was at the
friends house before the OK team arrived
to deliver the message. About the
only way the people can get rid Of this
Iabomnible nuisance is for every man to
urge upon the General Government to
start thorough postal telegraph sys-
tenn.

But a poor woman having several little

her hands for support the widow of

saw proper to adopt as Il campaign
song she of course under the present

from her position in the treasury de-

things and would say to those whose
dismissal was desired 'your political
views are not in harmony with the
administration and I wish to put ID

they mean and is just what all repub-
licans expected would be done when

CHINESE DIFFICULTIES.

The Chinese question has long been
ID serious one. The rabble, tramps, for
eign paupers and vagabonds which
flock to our shores, and who do not
desire work so much as they do to de-
vote their lives to agitation, lawless-
ness, plumber and bloodshed, and who
meet wherever they can find a senti-
ment to sympathize with and listen to
them, are making the serious nature
of the question a difficult one. While
we can all see some serious disadvan
tages from having the Chinese in our
midst; and while it becomes every man $
duty to assist in removing these diff
culti.s in quiet, lawabiding and SEN
sible way; yet every good lawabiding
citizen must from principles of good
government and self preservation, de-
nounce all public meetings or demon
strations of any kind which result in
recommending force, violence or any
unlawful means to displace the Chinese
from among us. There are many
standpoin.s from which this question
must be considered. There are many
reasons which bring Cinnamon here
and cause them to remain, for which
the Cinnamon are not accountable, and
are not to blame. The people who en-
ploy the Cinnamon are as much and in
fact many times more to blame than
the Cinnamon are for being employed.
By so many persons employing them
it makes their services remunerative
and makes a demand for them. If
people would quit employing them,

The contemptibly dishonest course
of the present democratic administra-
tion on the offensive partisan" dodge
is most ridiculously illustrated in the
case of oman employed as treasury
clerk at Washington who has been dis
charged because she is an offensive
partisan" She is Mrs. Mary E. Kali,
of Ohio-a poor widow, with several
children depending upon her for sup
port. She is lady of some literary
ability, and has written several poems,
which were favorably received. On
receiving her discharge, she went to
Auditor Williams, and inquired why
she had been dismissed. The follow
conversation ensued:
because you are an offensive par.
tisan," was the reply, with the rough
ness and impoliteness characteristic of
Mr.. Williams.
"Was I not efficient and faithful,
and was not my work satisfactory
asked Mrs. Kali.
"Certainly. No complaints to make.
You are simply put out because I tell
you, you have been an offensive parti-
SAN
Gin what did my offensive partisan
ship consist2' was Mrs. Kail's next
question.
"You wrote campaign song for the
republicans in Ohio was the reply.
"Good day." No other excuse could
be found to displace the woman in
order to make room for some democrat
who bad no doubt taken active and
energetic part to elect Cleveland and
to reward him for such work and
therefore the poor widow woman with
her several hungry and needy children
had to be put out of employment on a
pretext which was falsehood upon its
face.

Let it be kept before the people that
this administration has not paid off a
dollar of the public debt nor taken a
single step towards formulating any
plans for the relief of depressed or the
encouragement of a single manufacture
ing establishment. 1t has through the
workings of republican laws collected
money to the aggregate of over three
hundred and fifty million dollars but
there it ended. 1t has not followed
republican plans of paying the interest
bearing bonds and thus ahording real
relief. During the campaign they
were going to divide out greenback
reserve. Why don't they pay out
what the law requires of them any
way?
