THE FLORIDA STEAMSHIPS.

A Direct Line from Charleston to
observation-disclosures why the Steam
ers will not Stop at Savannah.
Charleston News and Courier.
The steamer City of Monticello, of the
Charleston and Florida steamship line,
arrived here yesterday morning from
Florida, bringing as part of her cargo
$3.50 boxes OF oranges. OF these 1900
boxes were shipped from this city to
New York by the steamer Delaware,
and 1 ,000 boxes were shipped north by
the Atlantic Coast Line. As already
announced in the News and Courier,
this trip of the Monticello is the last on
which it will touch at Savannah either
going to or coming from Florida. The
City Of Palatka also made its last stop at
Savannah on Sunday, November 20.
The Savannah News of yesterday cen
talns the following statement as to the
discontinuance of the steamers to and
| from Savannah: 1.-THE discontinuance of
the line here, it is understood, is on ac-
count of protest by the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western Railway Company.
| The railroad claims that the steamers
landing freights here is in violation of a
contract entered into with the manage
ment of the line q year ago, the landing
of Florida freight at this point putting
| the steamer line in direct competition
with the railroad and its connections. 1t
was understood that if the protest was
| ignored a war of rates would follow, and
a cut would be made on all south bound
freights from the north. The carrying
OF freights between Florida and Charles.
ton direct is not considered a violation OF
the contract Or interfering with the bus
ness of the railroad company"
A reporter of the News and Courier
called at the office of the Charleston anC
Florida Steamship Company last nigh
and called the attention of two Of the
officers of the company to the Statement
of facts as given above. They declined
to assign the reasons for the Withdrawal
of their steamers, but stated that some
Of the reasons above given were true
some were not true and others were eX
aggerated. They said that there was ;
contract between the railroad and thu
steamship line, but would not specify il
what respect, if any, that contract haC
anything to do with the discontinuance
It is inferred, however, from the state
ments of these officers that the continu
ance of the steamers was no longer war
ranted by the amount of business don
with Savannah.

several states large vote, lacking
little of a majority, has been polled
for prohibitory measures, but at
subsequent elections attempts to
bring out the same vote for prohlb-
itorv candidates have ANONYMOUSLY
failed. Those who seek the reason
for this remarkable difference in the
progress of the prohibitory move
ment in different sections will find
it without difficulty in the fact that
at the south the prohibitionists act
like sincere men who desire the sue
cess of cause, and not the eleva-
ton or pecuniary emolument of in
dividuals or any spiteful punish
ment of those who do not agree
with them. In short, they have
carefully avoided any antagonism

The New York Tribune IN noting
editorially the result of the prohibi-
ton movement in Atlanta, Ga, says
among other things: "The rapid
growth of public sentiment in favor
of local prohibition at the south is
one of the most striking phenomena
of the time. 1t has met no defeats.
Every point gained has been held.
Wherever it has shown a large
force, at the next opportunity it has
been able to show a still larger.
Thus it has gone forward, up to this
time without any arrest of its pro-
gress, until now substantially the
entire state of Georgia has been
placed under prohibitory restriction.
In other states similar progress has
been made, and the course of events
tends Enthusiastically toward the same
result. But at the north the pro-
hibitory movement shows a differ
ent record. Remarkable victories
have at times been gained, but IN
most cases a tendency to reaction
has soon afterward been obvious. In
