Prohibition North and South.

The savannah News, in rebuking the Boston
Posi- for some tlippant remarks concerning the
prohibition movement in the South, takes the
ground that prohibition there is quite different
from prohibition in the Northern States. 1t
says:
The best interests of the State demand the
Improvement of the negroes. Very little can
be done for them a> lon~ rs there is free whisky
AtcNrry cro>s-road> and at the corner OF every
plantation there is a dram->hop, where the
meanc>t sort Of WI N>N j. sold. The wages of
the negroes 90 10 these dram shops. Little
is left for educational purposes, or for home
comforts, and the negroes are rendered unrclia-
bic and practically unfit for aborrrS. They
become lazy, worthless and >hiftlc>>. They
will have whisky and they steal from The
planters. The planters are thus injured in
two ways. Their laborcr> are ruined, and
they are robbed OF il lar@e per centa-ge of thy
products of their plantations The cross roads
whisky shops readily exchange whisky for
stolen cotton.
The planters have been forced to adopt pro
hlhtlOn to protect themselves from ruin. The
same condition of affairs exists on the turpcn-
tine farms, in the lumber districts ana in the
cities. The GROCERIES are eVcryW here. and the
money OF the laboring man goc> into them and
he gets no return. Murder and froniou>
assaults are numerous. and Whi> Ky is the calI>G
OF nlnt-tenthS OF them. of course there arc
other and very strong reasons for the prohibi-
ton sentiment in Georgia, but the necessity
for putting whisky out of the reach Of tho
negro population is in itself sufficient argll-
ment for prohibition.
In the North we think it is quite as import
ant to prevent white people from running them
selves with liquor. as it is to protect the negro
labor of the South from rum and its evils.
The News makes a distinction which il not 4
difference.

The Merchant Marine.

Senator Frye has introduced bill for the re-
lief of the American merchant marine. 1t re-
pcals the statutes requiring the payment of
fees for marine documents, certificates. inspec-
ton, etc, and provides that the collectors
whose duty it is to furnish these papers shall
be paid by the Government. Masters Of coast
wise vessels are authorized to employ ship
ping commissioner to ship crews. The liability
limitation clause of the last shipping act Is cN-
tended to vessels i'll interior waters and to
those engaged i'll the coastwise trade. The
provision of the law of 1888, authorizing

which, under the ruling of the Treasury De-
are limited by the bill to American vessels.
The bill also extends the provisions of the
statutes relating to the free admission Of
material entering into the construction or used
in the repair of American vessels, so aS to in
cludc the material used in the construction or
repair of vessels engaged in the fisheries and in
whaling.
Senator Frye has also introduced bill relat-
ing to pilotage. 1t provides that after July |,
1856, ''No sailing vessel of the United States
engaged in the coastwise trade shall be obliged
or take pilot in going into or out of any port
of the United States or be compelled to pay for
potage services rendered but not accepted.
1t also provides that the local inspectors at any
port may examine the master or mate of any
United States vessel engaged in the foreign
trade, and, if satisfied that the applicant
possesses the requisite knowledge, experience
and skill, shall grant him license to pilot the
vessel in such waters within the limits of the
inspection district as may be prescribed in his
license. 1t also provides that no vessel so
piloted shall be compelled to take or pay for
piloted services under the laws of any state.

The Help She Wanted.

One Of the suffrage lecturers tells of farm
school committee. As soon as she appeared in
side the door, local politician rushed up to
her, eNclaiming, Can assist you, madam?'
with an air of gallantry and solcitude which
showed that he thought she must be almost
crushed beneath the burden of her political
duties. The woman looked at him and then
answered: ''If you had been around this morn
ing about five O'Clock, when was bringing in
the water, and building the fires, and getting
breakfast, | might have been glad of some
help; but if it is only about dropping my vote
into the box that YOU want to assist me,
think l can do that myself" and she did.

A Growing City.

The Minneapolis Tribune published on New
Years day an edition of thirty-two pages, of
which thirteen (9l columnS) were devoted to
advertising, and the remainder largely to an
exhaustive review of the cty'S business in 1883.
There was clear map of the city covering two
pages. 1t seems by the figures given that Min
neapoli> has become the greatest wheat market
in the world, considerably ahead Of New York
or Chicago, which follow in the order named.
The receipts of wheat ast year We're twenty
three millions of bushels. siN-SeventhS of which
was made into more than five millions of bar
rclS of flour. Over three hundred and thirteen
millions of feet of lumber were sawed. The
value of the manufactured products was S54.-
100000, and the wholesale trade amounted to
SCI 100000. New buildings to the number of
1910 Were erected during the year costing near
ly $1,000 900. The Tribune estimates the poplI-
laton at ;S140,000, and if that is a little too
much, few months will make the figures good.
