Prohibitionists win Rot Heed 1t.

from the Uglethorpe, Ga, Echo
We have had every reason to feel confident
that the whisky question was forever out of
our local politics. but we can now plainly sec
that some effort will be made to bring it back
This is lamentable, and it is chargeable only
to the third party, of which we have before
written and for which every true temperance
man of the state has utter contempt. This is
brought about by the resolution of the temper
ances conventions which was, by chicanery,
rushed through that convention. This was to
the effect that the delegates use every effort
to have legislators elected to the next IegiSla-
ture who would favor general prohibitory
law for the state. Though this resolution
passed., not one delegate in ten will do its bid
ding. 1t was move OF the third party to
have such a resolution introduced and we can
but believe it was done with no good will to
the temperance caase.
u -
There is not the least probability that such
law as was mentioned in that resolution will
be passed. An act looking to such a law may
be introduced, but q majority of the prohibi-
tionists in the legislature will vote against it,
and rightfully, too. They plainly see, as do
all conservative friends of temperance, that
such an act will not meet with the approval of
the people, and that should it pass it would
only bring the disfavor of the populace upon
the prohibition scause. Thus considering,
there will be no candidate for the legislature
from this county supported as a prohibitionist.
II is not the wish of the temperance people to
bring their cause any further into state poll
tics, having secured all they want in the local
option law, which is the only correct way to
further the cause of prohibition just yet.

BOOMING CLEVELAND.
Where the Presidents Tariff ideas Recei,
Cnstinted Praise.


Unstinted Praise.
There is no denying the fact that
President Cleveland now receives very
strong support from public journals
heretofore silent, or having little to
say concerning him or his Administra-
ton. They like his economic ideas and
are bold in expressing their approba-
ton. believing that the interests of the
people would be vastly promoted by
the policy Mr.. Cleveland recommends
to Congress. Here is one paper say
inh: The tariff reform which the
President urges goes so far, at least,
as the abolition or reduction of the
duties on raw materials. Should Con-
gress give effect to this proposal. its
immediate result would be an enor-
nous > Imulus to our industries. "
Fully as vigorous an Endorsement
is the following from another
paper, which, by the way, is
any thing but Democratic 1.-The
President proposes a radical reduc-
ties in the duties on raw materials, or
even their free importation, as way
of compensating manufacturers for the
sacrifice which they are asked to make
The free importation of iron, coal and
wool would be great boon; if it were
accompanied with reductions in the
tariff upon cotton, wooden and other
manufactures the artisans of this coun-
try would derive a marked benefit
from it." Picking up another leading
journal we find this opinion in its
editorial columns: III the Presidents
policy shall be carried out we may
look to an impetus being given to our
home trade that will 60 far to make
up for the depression of late years"

and intelligent constituencies, and are
