Let the Doors be Opened.

II the Republican Senators propose to
have a square fight with the President on
the question whether the Senate has q
right to know why officials are suspended
the country ought to be permitted TO get
a glimpse OF it. 1t is hardly fair for the
Senators to close the doors of the Senate
chamber and have all the fun to thsm-
selves. There Is no good reason for dis
GUESSING nominations in executive session.
II there is anything TO be said against a
nomination let the country know what
it is.
The debate on the question of the right
Of the President to withhold from the Sem
ate his reasons for suspending officials
promises to be notable one. Senator
Edmunds, who is leading his party in this
business, has perhaps studied the ques-
ton very thoroughly. and is, therefore,
prepared to support his position vigor-
ously. He will not have everything his
own way, however. There is a good deal
to be said on both sides, and the President
will not be without supporters.
II It shall be decided that the Senate has
no right to demand the reasons for sus-
pensions, it is safe TO assume that a ma
jority Of the Republicans who are now
holding Presidential positions will he in
vited TO resign. II. however, the decision
is the other way. is not improbable that
the Senate will refuse TO confirm certain
nominations, and in that way try 10 force

INC Hegira from AtIanta.

| Much ado has been made during the
| past two or three weeks over the rumOr
that four prominent citizens of Atlanta,
who are worth in the aggregate over a
! million dollars, had announced their in
| tention to leave the city and move to
Texas. They do this, it is said, because
the PrOhibitonists have carried the
| county, and that business on that ae-
| count will be ruined, and property greatly
| deprecated. One of them alleges that
real estate In Atlanta has already gone
down % per cent.
The of-hand statement that these four
gentlemen will withdraw over 81 900. 600
OF capital from Atlanta is a misleading
one. They all own property there, and 1t
is probably not their intention to destroy
or abandon this property, but to sell it to
the BEST advantage. 1t may not sell for
what 1t has been valued at, but it Will
doubtless bring very near, ii not quite. as
much now as it would have brought
twelve months ago.
There is no reason why the various
interests in Atlanta not connected di-
rectly with the liquor business
should suffer TO any appreciate extent
on account OF the adoption OF prohibition.
There is not doubt that much OF the
money now invested in the liquor bust
ness there will be reinvested there. Even
the capitalists who propose to leave At
lauta, 1t is said, propose to 90 into the
iron, and not the liquor business in Texas.
The people OF Atlanta have no occasion
TO be alarmed. If they Will enforce the
prohibition law when it becomes opera
tive, they will have no occasion TO regret
having adopted 1t. II they fail to enforce
it, they will have to endure the humilia-
tiOn and the blame for its failure. No
community should adopt a prohibition
law unless the moral sentiment OF the peo-
pei is sufficient TO secure its enforcement.

The Facts Relative to the Florida
Freeze.

Freeze.
The people Of Florida are taking steps
to deny the unfounded reports which have
appeared in the Northern papers relative
to the damage done by the freeze in that
State. These reports were not intended,
doubtless, to make the damage appear
to be greater than 1t really is. They were
written before it was known what the
damage was, and before reliable reports
had been received from different parts of
the State.
Although they were not intended to do
harm, they have undoubtedly done the
state q great deal OF harm. A weak or
more ago the MORNING NEWS called at
tention to these reports, and pointed out
that they were not supported by the truth.
The letter which the Jacksonville Board
Of Trade authorized 10 be sent to the New
York San sets forth the truth as near as
it cap be got at, and it is probable that
the authorities in other towns of the State
will take steps 10 publish the truth with
respect TO the damage in their respective
localities.
The little check which the Florida travel
has received will not be permanent. A
condition Of affairs which is not liable to
occur more than once in half a century
