Valuable paper on the subject ofI
prohibition. North Caroliia seems
to be much behind on this question.
l do not mean behind the Northern
and Western states but her sister,
Southern, states. While Georgia
prohibits the sale Of liquor in over
half her territory, and Alabama,
South Carolina, and other states
t,re following her noble example,
cur own state, and her press, are re
manning almost totally silent.on the
subject. @ .s...7..
Why is thisg Is it because our
people are not aware Of the great
harm produced by the liquor traffic
and Of the great good that would.
be effected by its removal oS. eN-
tinction, or do they think prohibit
ton gunwise and ineXpedients Is
the silence of the state press due
to the unpopulality Of prohibition
with the masses, or is it because
there are not any straight out pro-
hibitionists among its intelligent
members? AS the latter cannot be
the case it may be attributed to
the former reason. f.. ;
1t can easily be understood why
many editors, who arc prohibi, ion
lists think it to their interest to-be
silent Oh this subject; but it is a
thing to be commented upon, why
some Of the numerous prohibition
lists of the sta.e do not speak to the
-pr.,l;e through the columns Of our
news papers. Prohibition has al

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
The Gothenburg System of Dealing with a
Great Evil.


The Gothenburg system Of dealing with the
liquor traffic is again brought to the attention Of
the people in this country by a published inter
view with Mr.. S. A. Hedlund, newspaper pro-
prietor, member Of the Swedish Parliament and
father of the famous Gothenburg liquor law.
His account of the rise and progress of the sys
tenn is clearer than any we have seen, and is
very interesting.
The Swedes, says Mr.. Hedlund, are a nation
OF Observation-Disclosures Until within a comparatvely
recent time every landowner in Sweden possessed
the right to distill Swedish brandy, a spirit dis
titled from grain or potatoes, containing so per
cent. of alcohol. The country was on the verge
of ruin from the deluge of spirits pouring forth
from myriads of small dstileries. There
was well nigh public house in every cottage.
In Gothenburg, with a population of about 3d.,
600, the years arrests for drunkenness footed up
nearly 1000. AS a member of the municipal
council Mr. Hedund introduced the resolution
for the inquiry which resulted in the Gothen-
burg system The business was taken away
from the dealers who were eEriching themselves
by Pauperiz;ng their neighborS and turned
over to a company who undertook it from public
spirit and not for private gain The sixty
saloons were reduced to twenty five, and these
We're converted into attractive eating houses,
with the sale Of liquor an incidental. After
penseS and per cent. interest on the capital in
vested have been deducted all the remaining
profits turned over to the town treasury
and expended for the benefit (the lex
elusive benefit" Mr.. Hedlund says) of
the workingmen and their families. They are
indebted to this money for better dwellings,
more commodious public schools, fine park,
etc. THE annual arrests for drunkenness have
declined more than half Mr.. Hedund says.
I'm 1876 the sale Of spirits reached the great
est height, and since has steadily declined No
one the least intoxicated can procure spirituous
drink in Gothenburg; no youth under eighteen
years Of age nor is it sold on Sunday, except
the usual dram before dinner"
The system has more than realized the ex-
pectations of its author. Its success in Gothen-
burg has led to its adoption in Stockholm, where
its effect is equally satisfactory, and in other
parts Of Sweden as we'll as Norway; while a
committee of the House of Lords has recon-
mended that it be tried in England and Mr.
Chamberlain strongly advocates its use in Birm-
ineham. 1t is very important and interesting
attempt to solve the liquor problem

A Lunatic'S scheme.

AtIHNta CONSTITUTION.
There is no project too mad and wild to find
advocates. About fifteen years ago fine look
ing youngster, with glib tongue, dropped down
in Atlanta, from the sky. as it were. and issued
the prospectus of weekly paper The venture
was to be called The Imperalst, - and its main
object was to be the advocacy of monarcl4ical
government in the United States, with General
Grant at its head. After the prospectuses were
where the work was done and careessly picking
up about dozen, remarked that he would call
for the others and settle the bill. With the few
specimens thus slyly obtained, he called on
number of leading merchants and secured not
only advertisements, but partial payments IN
advance. The next day he disappeared, and
when last heard from was being hotly pursued
across the continent by physician and two men
detailed from lunatic asylum to capture him.
was touch of genius about his work in Atlanta

MARMADUKE AS A DIVER.
How NIissouri's Truly Beautiful Executive
Takes a Header"

Sweet Springs (Mo) letter in Kansas City Times.
Gov. John S. Marmaduke is the most reckless
diver and most graceful swimmer at the Springs.
Three times every day he may be seen disport-
ing in the pool, the cynosure and envy of all
eyes. The Governor is the shapelest man in
central Missouri-a veritable Apollo Belvedere.
He has massive shoulders a neat, compact torso
and trim, clean cut legs. Graceful as he is on
dry land, you can form no idea Of his real grace
till you see him IN the water Senator Vest, SEN
ator Cockrell, DR.. Laws and other old school
amphibi3 splash and sputter around, and bob ny
serenely like porposes or hippopotami, while
Marmaduke darts hither and thither with the
swiftness and brilliance OF an electric bolt or
like speckled trout in quest of a gadfy. A
pine railing extends around the pool. This he
mounts, standing like Colossus of Rhodes and
presenting some such aspect as that OF Diana, Of
whom the Latin poet sang, "Gradiensque Deos
super eminet omres." All ocular orbs are fixed
upon the erect figure. The bosom heaves proud
ly, there is determined glitter in his eyes, dis
dainful culver Of the nostrils, and a proud curl
fthe thin lips. Now the comely why arms arc
raised above the shapely head, the stiffness of
the pool is the stiffness of death. The pale
brine hes like a mirror below him, in
calm expectancy of his welcome coming,
and now he leaps into the atmosphere.
50 rapid is his aerial flight that a
streak of blue fire and smoke follows in his
track; then he turns and with stiffened body,
arms and legs, he cleaves the glad waters and in
a moment is out Of light So neatly has the dive
been accomplished that even the waters do not
seem to know that they have been cleft in twain.
Scarcely ripple disturbs their surface. Admir-
ing eyes track the spot where be fell. Why does
he not come up. Can it be possible that he is
lost-on, ne, that were too dreadful a thought,
But look, away over there in further corner OF
the pool, little bubbles well up to the surface of
the water like love tears in the pretty eyes of
tender maiden. A cry of joy rises from the
watching multitude as the reckless diver shows
his head above the wavelets and in another mo
ment reaches out proudly and swiftly for the
side Of the great basin.
