The Prohibition Movement in GeOr-
vfa


We scarcely feel the prohibition move
ment in this city. There are portions of
the State. however, where it is causing a
great deal Of excitement. 1t is guided
by strong men, who are deeply in earnest.
TIE Legislature may refuse to pace che
general local option bill. bgt Its refusal
will not check the prohibition movement.
Eve-y county that becomes prohibition
county increases the strength of the pro
hibitiOn movement.
Now that the general government Is IN
possession of the Democrats, and the peo-
pie feel that they need not let political
considerations hamper them, it would not
be surprising if the prohibition movement
in this state should become more proml-
nent than ever.
1t is not improbable that in local, ana
even in State matters, the prohibition
question may play 9 very important part
PTOhibitiOnists are the KIND oil people
who never appear to get tired OF trying 10
have things as they want them. They
are so confident that they are right that
they desire to convert everybody to their
views. They want their friends and
neighbOTs TO share with them the good
there is in prohibition.
There are reasons why the prohibition
movement finds strong friends in all parts
Of the state. A comparison between the
prohibition and anti-prOhibitiOn counties
furnishes strong arguments in favor OF
prohibition. There is an appearance OF
thrift and prosperity in the prohibition
counties, and an absence of crime that
are not, as a rule, found in other counties
Where there are no dram shops the people
are characterized by a hOpefulness and
! cheerfulness and an air Of cOntentment
and comfort not found elsewhere.
The prohibition movement is well worth
watching in this State. 1t hasn't run its
course yet. Indeed, it is safe to assume
/ that 1t hasn't attained its full growth
1t got black eye, as it were, in Floyd
county last week, but incidents like thai
/ do not seem to check it.

900: that Sir Ashley Cooper took 5000 in a
single fee; that some other doctor got $4,000
for going to Pau from London; that Catherlpe
ii. Of Russia paid DR.. Dlmsdals thinks all this
cinating her. ~ h vHeTv iT.modest and unpro-
- llsts aid intimates that no French doc
tor will allow such facts about his pecunlary
gains to become known. 1t observes, how
ever. in order to give some idea OF what
French doctors could reveal If they chose,
that il is within its personal knowledge that
NelatOn on one occasion refused $4,000 TO go
to st. Petersburg to perform very simple
operation.
VANDERBILT is determined that his sons-ln-
law shall become business men. As soon as
young Twombley married his daughter he
gave him the jo6o loading and unloading the
freight in New York. This is really an eX-
tensive department in the railway system,
and requires a large force of clerks and Ia
borers, ana also number of steamers and
barges. The Droft from this specially IS es-
timated at $4,000 q year. and this puts
TwOmbey on an independent basis. The TWO
other sOns-in-law shepard and sloan are
both able and prosperous men, the former
having a lucrative law practice, while the
latter is one of the most extensive carpet
dealers in the country. DIR. Seward MeDD,
who married the youngest OF the daughters,
has never made medical practice a success.
and his father-in-law has been DESTROYS of
providing for him out of that vast railway
patronage which he still controls. The re-
cent resignation of Tillnghasr. President OF
the sleeping ear company, has afforded suit
able opening, and the doctor now abandOns
his profession ia favor of a sinecure berth
worth $4,000 year. There are few men that
can make such rich provision Tor those VINO
marry into the family.

The Curses OF a High Tariff.

The part of wisdom is to reduce the tari1
lust as we would tunnel a mountain. 1t is
idle to spend millions for q commercial navy
and at the same time to put an embargo on
the tariff is that OF restriction; it is antagO-
nistic to all the tendencies of the times; it i
opposed to the work doing to-day in all
branches of industry. 1t augments the ex-
penses Of life, deprives the multitude Of many
OF its well-earned comforts, increases the
hours of labor, makes employment uncertain
and wages unsafe. A modification OF the
tariff is demanded alike by national Interests
ana by industrial necessities.

1t ought not to be a difficult matter to make
out a case of conspiracy against the United
States on the part Of the ''b0Omers" recently
arrested in the Indian Territory. They en-
tered upon the Oklahoma lands in violation
of law and in defiance Of the government.
They were banded together to resist the
Federal authority. These adventures have
been guilty, beyond doubt, OF organizing an
armed rebellion against the United States.

They can get more for dollar than they
could In 1860. but it 5 twice as hard to get the
dollar. The tariff has been rObbing him OF
the dollar until he has none to buy with,
therefore the producer must keep his goods,
and cutting down his help only adds to the
time that he must keep them. He Is killing the
goose that laid the golden egg.

Indians as Voters.

Gen. Crook has written letter which
may have great influence in determining
the future policy of the United States
Government concerning the Indians. He
comes out squarely in favor of Indian suf-
frage. He says that, in his opinion, 1t
will be best for the Indians and for the
future peace and prosperity of the great
West to confer on the Indians the privi-
Ieges and responsibilities of citizenship.
Gen. Crook has been among the So
called wild Indians Of the far West for
a great many years. He has observed
the worst as we'll as the best phases of
their character, and has been very sue
cessful in dealing with them both in
peace and in war. His opinion is there
fore entitled to great weight. In one re-
spect his letter is a revelation, especially
so to the people of the States east of the
Missouri river. He says the great major
ity of Indians are not lazy and shift
less as Is generally supposed, but are able
and willing to work when fairly treated.
He says, however, that they have been
shamefully maltreated, cheated and
abused, not only by agents but by many
settlers in the neighbOrhood of the reser-
vatiOns.
He thinks the enfranchisement of the
Indians would tend to elevate and dignity
them, and would give them power to de-
fend themselves under the forms of the
law. 1t is possible that some of the
tribes are better qualified for citizenship
than were the negroes just after the war.
Several tribes may be classed as civil
lied, and the young OF nearly all the
tribes are making astonishing progress in
education OF a very practical kind.
The present Indian policy must sooner
or later come to an end, and probably
within the next decade the rights Of citi-
zenship will be conferred on them, and
the ballot given them with, perhaps, some
very necessary restrictions. The CherO-
KEGS, the ChOctaws and the Creeks show
comparatively few traces of the savage.
