The Prohibition Movement.

The prohibition movement is gaining
strength. There is no doubt about
that. What the prohibitionists have &C
complished IN this and other Southern
States is we'll known, but in the South
prohibition is kept out of politics. In
many of the Northern States, however,
the prohibitionists form a distinct party
"a third party. as 1t were-and 1T Is an
aggressive, fighting party with an issue.
This issue is pushed right to the front,
and is kept there. 1t is the only
issue, and there is no chance for making
a mistake about it. The question which
the prohibitionists put to the people Is
this: Are you for or against whisky?
Those who are against it are asked to join
the new party, and every effort is put forth
to capture those who are for whisky.
A party with live issue, an issue that
the people can understand, and which APP
peals strongly TO them on the ground OF
health, interest and morality, is bound to
make an impression. Its adherents are
full of enthusiasm. They want to make
converts, and they have the influence
which comes from a firm belief IN what
they advocate.
1t is this prohibition party that is max
ing the Republican leaders quake in their
shoes. In Maine, Massachusetts, Connec-
| ticUt. Pennsylvania. New ork and New
Jersey they are Watching its growth with
alarm. They are pleading with Repub-
licans to keep away from it, but In vain.
The other day great prohibition con-
ventioD. having more than 800 delegates,
met in Worcester, Mass, and a cores
pendent wrote that it was difficult to tell
party displayed by the convention was
not greater than that against whisky.
The most Of the prohibitionists were
Republicans, and the v hate the Republi-
can party because it wanted to straddle
the whisky issue. 1t is probable that
the Republican leaders made an irrepar-
able mistake when they refused to make
concessions to the prohIbitionists. At
tacks upon the prohibition leaders, like
that made by Senator Frye some days
ago, only serves to make the prohibition
lists more aggressive, and more deter
mined to destroy the Republican party
and to build UP a prohibition party out
of its ruins.
The difference between the Northern
and southern prohibitionists appears to
be this: In the North they are after pO-
lltIcal power, with whisky as an issue,
while in the South they are only anxious
to suppress the whisky traffic by the
force OF public sentiment.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1886-09-12

A few editors OF religious journals and
some educated preachers have tried to
convey the impression that the earth
quake was manifestation of Gods anger
with the people on account o, their many
sins. 1t was expected, of course, that
the majority Of the colored preachers
God sent the earthquake to arouse them
to a knowledge of their sinful condition
and to induce them to repent, but it was
hardly expected in this age OF enlighten-
ment that people who have opportunities
for informing themselves would attribute
1t to anything but natural causes.
There can be no objection, of course, to
referring to the earthquake for the pur-
pose Of impressing upon the mind the
peril to which human life is exposed
from commissions of nature, and the ne.
cessity, therefore, for being always pre-
pared to meet death in whatever shape it
may present Itself, but to teach that the
remarkable phenomena, witnessed at
Charleston and elsewhere on the night of
Aug. 81 and subsequently,, were due to
supernatural causes is to simply terror
OF the reasonably we'll informed with
vague, but ever-present, apprehensions OF
n calamity.
While the theories respecting the causes
OF earthquakes are not so we'll supported
by accepted facts as are those relative to
thunder storms, cyclones. ETC., which
were once regarded with almost as much
q a arth nI q |. hu-
less additional reliable archaeological in
formation is gradually being accumu-
lated, and it is safe to assume that the
time is not distant when science will be
so far advanced that 1t will be possible to
explain earthquake phenomena to the
satisfaction of everybody.
When that time comes the editor of q
religious or any other paper, or the
preacher who insists that "the rum blings
are most certainly echoes of the tones OF
the Most High will hardly be regarded
as the sort of a man to direct religious
thought.
1t is only necessary to glance over som
| OF the religious interpretations of The
earthquake to see how very contradictory
they are, and how little reason there is in
them. For instance, one weekly religio US
newspaper says that sit is useless and
presumptuous for finite minds to attempt
to say why God permits calamlties like
the one at Charleston to occur" and YET
the religious editor OF another journal
doesn't think it either useless or pre-.
sumptuous. He undertakes to explain
why God permits calamities. He says
that "these chastlsements are mercies in
tended to waken up men to the vanity
and briefness of lfe,"
No doubt both of these journals intend
ed to convey beneficial impressions to
their readers, but n person should get
hold OF both journals he would be apt tc
be very much confused unless he declined
to accept the Interpretation of either, and
insisted on believing that earthquakes
are due to natural laws which have beer
in operation since the creation and will
continue in operation until the end OF the
world.

and who have scarcely any incomes.
Their homes are wholly or partially de-
str0yed, aud they haven't the means 10
rebuild them. In not few instances
their incomes are also cut off for the rea-
son that they were derived from houses
which are also in ruins. These people
are too proud to ask for help, and If they
are assisted at all they will have to be
sought out.
The working people already have as
much work as they can do at good wages.
AS soon as they can get sufficient shelter
they will be in about as good condition as
they were before the calamity.
or course the contributions will not be
applied to rebuilding ruined homes. They
will not be sufficient tor anything of that
sort. The relief committee may deem 1t
advisable to erect temporary shelter for
some, and perhaps the money that is now
flowing into the city could not be used In
any other way that would be productive
OF so much good.

the sad features of a calamity which has

Relief Work at Charleston.

The determination of the Char lesion Re-
lief Committee to stop issuing rations in
discriminatory is wise one. The only
plan that will insure relief to those &C.

been adopted-the plan of visiting houses
and encampments and finding out from
actual observation who are the ones who
require help.

Relief Committee would soon have many
thousands OF people to feed daily. Coored

Omen the Way for Cheap II ONES.

Some idea of the results which flow
from opening streets and providing
good drainage can he obtained by visiting
that quarter of the city which is south Of
Hall street. Fifteen years ago all east Of
the Park extension was an undrained
swamp into which part of the sewage Of
the city was emptied, while on the west
there was only dreary, sandy common.
w thin the past ten years some Of the
hands0mest residences in the city have
been erected south of Hall street, and all
the territory east and west of the Park
extension, within the city limits, is pretty
we'll built up. Property there has ad-
vanced in value very greatly.
The first thing that was done was the
passing of an ordinance to open and grade
the streets according to plans made by
the City Surveyor. The lots were then
put upon the market. At first their sale
was slow, ana as late as seven or eight
years ago many of them sold at prices
ranging from 500 to $500. A little later,
however, prices began to advance quite
rapidly, and the demand became much
more active. The lots are now pretty
much all occupied, and those which are
not are held at prices ten times as great
as the. prices asked for them eight years
ago.
This extension met, to great
extent, the demand for houses which
existed at that time. New houses
were built and house rents became more
reasonable. Real estate north of Ander-
son street has now become so valuable
that it is impossible for people of moder-
ate means to purchase it, aud unless the
city opens the streets in the section south
OF Anderson street the erection OF build
lngs, which has been so noticeable during
the last three or four years, will rracti-
cally cease.
The work of dedcating the streets,
constructing the necessary sewers and
putting In new water mains-there should
be &C least fOur-should be begun at once.
Drayton, Whitaker or Price streets, or
all three of them. should be paved to
their extreme southern limits as 9 DON as
possible.
Such improvements would not cost the
| city great deal. Indeed, the cost would
be trIfiirg in comparison with the benefits
which would flow from them.
BY opening the way for the building OF
homes at prices within the means of peo-
| pie in very moderate cireumst ances the
population OF Savannah would be greatly
increased. Those who come TO the city
will stay. Nothing has done so much to
keep up the population OF Charleston as
the fact that the majority of her people
are property holders, and although many
of them now doubtless wish they had not
invested in homes there, or that their
homes were elsewhere, they will continue
to live there because all they have in the
way OF a home is there.
The city could not do a wiser thing, or
one calculated to do the city more good,
than to make the necessary improve.
ments south Of Anderson street at once.
The money will be spent here, and will
soon find it's way back into the City Treas
ury In the shape OF taxes arising from
the growth in the value of property.
