A NOTABLE VOTE,

Governor Gordon of Georgia has Just
taken a step which will raise him con-
siderably in the estimation of Northern
people and Of right thinking men in his
own section of the country. The
Georgia legislature recently passed a
special school bill fol- the city Of Macon
providing that the funds raised by taxa
tion for school purposes should be divid-
ed, the money raised on the property Of
white residents being used exclusively
for the education of white children,
while no money should be expended for
the education of colOred children except
that raised by taxes on the property OF
colored residents. This bill was mis-
chIevous in its immediate purpose, and
could not but be exceedingly disastrous
IN its final results. IL made a law, il
would be accepted as setting a prece
lent for similar legislation all over the
Southern States, and the outcome would
be still wider gulf between the white
and negro races, and vast obstacle in
the way OF negro education. But fortu.
nately for The good name of Georgia and
the real interests Of the entire South,
Governor Gordon msnfully interposed
his veto and saved Georgia I, ON the d 8.
grace which would have fallen on il had
the bill become law. De characteriz
the bill as opposed to sound public poll
cy. and violation to both State and
Federal Constitutions. This is probably
the last which will be heard of deter
mine d attempt to fasten new system
of vicious class legislation upon the
South. The prejudice and narrowness
Of the Georgia lawmakers who framed
and consented TO this wretched bill al
most passes comprehension. 1t is hardly
conceivable that they coull not know
that the measure of fostering ignorance
among the negroes would foster vice
and disorder also, and tend inevitably
to unsettle the very founds TONS of the
State. There is only one hypothesis
upon which the passage Of the hin by
the Georgia Legislature can by any pos
sibiity be explained and that is that the
Bourbons fear that il the negroes obtain
a. education they will prove to be more
thar a match for their pre-, ent lords and
mat ters. Boston Journal

PROHIBITION IN BuRLLNGTO

PROHIBITION in BURLINGTON.
The new liquor law which went INTO
effect ct tho beginning Of the new year
has resulted in complete revolution in
Burlington, owing principally to the
amendment which provides for the i'm
prisonment of dealer for first offence
of selling liquor or having liquor on
hand with the evident intention to sell.
The crv will the authorities was, after
New Years. not the deluge but the
drough: and It has come sooner than
even the authorities expected. The
hotel and saloon keepers as well as
wholesale dealers took the dilemma by
the horns and closed up their establish
ments 50 suddenly that those who were
celebrating the wake of the old year
could not even get the necessary liquor
with which to sobSt off and were oblig-
I'd to resort to uhacc6s'Omed waters.
Even the drug stores are wary about
filling prescriptions. Sickness has in
the meantime apparently increased to a
startling degree and the city liquor
agency s flooded with doctors certif-
icates while Jamaica ginger commands
handsome premium. The present in
dications are that the authorities will
not be obliged to take active measures
for the enforcement of the law, as the
dealers say they will make the law so
odious that it will not be enforced after
a little and they predict that it will be
repealed by the very next Legislature.
This might be the case if the large towns
alone were concerned, but the longer
headed dealers say that the State law
makers have taken no backward steps
on the liquor question since the crusade
began over quarter of century ago,
and the country towns would easily
overcome any move toward leDiency
now on the part of the larger towns, even
If the latter 80 desired, The temperance
people are in ecstacy and they think the
last Legislature furnished the straw
which is breaking the backbone of the
liquor traffic in Vermont. The outcome
will be awaited with general interest not
only in this State, but throughout the
country. In the meantime liquor deal
ers along the borders report a rapidly
increasing business.

The Democrats are ED ravoring to
postpone the time for voti g on the Tariff
bill. One of the reasons f., the secret
debate on the Panama ~ buttons was
that some agreement mi made be.
hind closed doors as to IA increase OF
lime for the discussion Of q Tariff bill
in consequence of the M rvention of
other business. 1t appear that the
Democratic Senators claim that the
agreement before the hClid !, recess. was
that the time after the reas milling OF
the Senate to Jan. 81, should be devoted
continuously to the consideration Of the
Tariff bill, except 30 much as might be
necessary for the regular morning hour
business of each day. The Democrats
have insisted that this time shall not be
taken from the time allotted to coDsid
Grafton on the Tariff bill. The RepublI
cans have decided that the time given to
the lsthmsin debate shOulc be deducted
from the time originally allotted to The
tariff debate, The vote on the Tariff bill
will not, therefore, be taken on Jan. 81.
