How the Two Things Work in the South
Status in Atlanta.

How the Two Things Work in the South
Status in Atlanta.
Atlanta Letter in New York Sun.
A prominent city clergyman in recent con.
versation with the Sun correspondent, said:
"The liquor interest had grown insolent now
that they had been shown by the people how
helpless they are Thus taught lasting lesson,
it would be well for the people to adopt high
license as q compromise, which would be ac-
cepted as boon by the liquor men, and would
DO gain for law and order High license would
unite both liquor men and Prohibitionists in the
enforcement of law as against illicit traders"
The wisdom of high license has just been de-
monstrated in Savannah The license was there
increased from $115 to 5000. The number of
dealers has decreased from 294 in 1885 to 230 this
year But while the total receipts from liquor
license in 1885 were only $3l, III, this year they
amount to $62, 100. 1t is expected that
about thirty more licenses will be taken out
before the close of the present fiscal year The
amount, less the discount that will be received
from them, is 3d. 100 making the total amount
for liquor taxes. for 1886 $40 200
This will be $39 03S in favor of the high liccnse
system. and besides the city has received other
benefits from it The closing of about fifty of
the lowest class of barrooms has to some extent
caused decrease In drunkenness and crime.
To come back TO the local effect in Atlanta
one of the main arguments used for prohibition
was that in the absence of liquor people would
save their money and buy homes That this is
not true has already been demonstrated. The
people who used to spend their money on whisky
now spend it for domestic wines and the numer-
Gus vile chemical decoctons put mp in drug
stores. A pint of water. with ten cents worth of
alcohol, insnres several square drinks. This
kind of drink however. is confined to the very
poor whites and the negroes. At one of the drug
stores one may read ginger wine, milk shake"
speach cider" ''apple cider" and dozen chem
car decoctions Most of these drinks cost ten
cents Young men and old vie with each other

THE appointment of Daniel Magone to DO col
lector of the port of New York is not a triumph
of civil-service reform. il the New York papers
are to be believed. The Sun says
''The appointment of Daniel Magone as col
lector of the port in this city looks very much
like politics"
The Herald says:
"There are not few however. who will ask
why Mr.. Cleveland. if he simply desires to secure
efficiency. found it necessary to go to remote
part of the State to find man. There is force
in that. Others will be curious to know what
political significance there is in such an out-of-
the-way selection
The World says
''Mr Cleveland has selected a professional
politician from remote part of the State, the
predecessor of Mr.. Manning as the head of the
party machine in the State, himself machine
man of the EXTREMIST type. and who has exhib-
tied no other capacity for this position and
has no record of sympathy for reform in the
civil service-who is, in all probability, opposed
to such reform"

incense to their tin god.

filling an unexpired term. being the last official
position he had held. With reference to the po-
litical status of affairs in his State, he said there
was a great deal of antagonsm between the
Democratic leaders, and that none OF
them seemed able to inspire the great bulk
of the party with that confidence in them that
was always a characteristic of the late Mr.. Hen.
bricks The tendency of this antagonsm, he
thought was to encourage the Republican party.
and he was of the opinion hotter fight would
be made on the State officers to be elected this
fall than had been made during the life of Mr.
Hendricks. There also in the ranks of the
Democratic party dissatisfaction or GOODNESS
towards the administration, and the effect of this
he thought would be to weaken that party in
the coming contest
Mr.. Fitch is Democrat himself, and, as can
be seen from the drift of his remarks, he does
not look upon Democratic success in Indiana
this fall as foregone conclusion.
