WEDNESDAY. MARCH 20, 1889.

The license bill now before the Leg
islature is equivalent TO o prohibiiory
law in its provisions, and therefore
should not and we do not believe will
pass. The gentlemen who appeared
before the Legislative Committee and
argued against the granting OF any
license to sell liquor, are no doubt
honest in their convictions, but expert.
ence not only in other States, but also
in our own, shows, that they are mis-.
taken. Something over thirty years
ago We had a prohibitory law in this
State, with the consequence that there
was more rum sold and drunk than
ever before or since. If the temper
ance people are really in earnest in
their professions OF decreasing the evils
OF intemperance, they will unite in
favor OF high license as against prohi
bition. There Is too much ianaticism
about this entire business, and while
we all admit the evils of the liquor
traffic, and would gladly welcome
some means for their abolition, We
cannot see that the extreme measure of
prohibition will effect this purpose,
unless 1t can be made to operate differ.

done In other States. We believe that
high license is the best, and In mct
the only pra ,tical method of stemmng
the tide of intempcrance with which
this land is cursed.
The majority Of young men who
drink did not acquire the habit in the
saloons and Cody Anfenger never
spoke truer words in his life than he
did at the conference on Monday night,
when he denounced the club rOums es
the curse of this city. We believe
there are more young men malG
drunkards in these club rooms thar
there is il The saloons. Some OF thl
buildings where these clubs meet arr
owned by men who are advocates o
prohibition, and there is every reason
to believe that thsy know what take
place in these rooms, but so long al
they get their rent they do not seum Il

The bills now before the Legislature
providing that express companies and
telegraph companies doing business in
this State shall be taxed, the first
twenty thousand and the second five
thousand dollars year, should not be
acted upon hastily. These bills are OF
the utmost importance, not only to the
companies but also to the public.
These companies enjoy valuable fran
ohises and should be willing to pay
something for them, but 1t does seem
that the sums named in these bills are
too much, and should be reduced one
half These companies do not tran
sact business for the mere purpose OF
accommodating the public, and as there
is no doubt but the profits are large,
they should be Obliged to pay portion
of them TO the State for privileges
which they enjoy.

The Dover correspondent of the
News, in his notes of the discussion in
the House on the Constitutional Con-
vention bill, says:
''In the gallery there were just twenty
one citizens, including two iine-lookiug
colored gentlemen, who took deep iu-
terest in the proceedings, and Diekey

Now according to this 1t seems there

That some of the Southern Demo-
Gratis are possessed Of sufficient good
sense to understand what is their best
interests, is shown by the remarks Of
the Augusta Chronicle, the most in
fluential journal in Georgia, as fol.
lows, concerning President Harrison's
inaugural:
1.-THE President says that he will not
have sectional policy, and we accept
this wise and just aud patriotic declare
ton. We detect nothing between the
lines about the old regime OF force and
repression. The South has reason to re-
joiee at the high plane upon which the
Inaugural OF President Harrison has
been pitched. With protection to our
Industries, internal improvements, which
embrace our waterways, rivers ard har-
bors, and subsidies for the development Of
Southern commerce with Mexico, Cen
trail and South America, the South should
develop and prosper as she never has
before. II the pessimiets and the men
who make trade Of politics will only
give the South fair chance che will bt
the richest and most prosperous section
Of the Union inside Of twenty years +"
The Chronicle evidently under
stands that free trade and the othel
fallacies advocated by the Democratic
party are not for the best interests OF
the South or of the country, aud
therefore is ready to combat them
The sooner the great majority of the
6outhern people adopt the same views
the better It will be for themselves ant

The fact that prisoners serving long

The fact that prisoners serving long
terms have become insane from en-
forced idleness is another argument in
favor Of all prisoners being provided
with employment, and compelled to
work for their own support instead of
forcing the taxpayers 10 keep them in
idleness. The latest instance of the
evils of prisoners being idle occurred
at Sing Sing, Now York, where two
of the inmates have recently become
violently insane. The shutting up in
Jail of able bodied men, without any
physical employment, is refined de-
gree OF cruelty that cannot help proving
disastrous to the victims. II is also
an injustice to the taxpayers, who are
compelled to contribute a part OF their
hard earnings Tor their support. Some
provision should be made 10 furnish
work for the inmates Of New Castle
jail, as at present the great curee o!
that institution is idleness. Let the
prisoners be made 10 work at some
thing, it does not matter much what il
Is, so that they will be furnished with
exercise and made selfsupporting.

The bill providing for Constitu-
tional Convention has passed the
House, and only needs the concurrence
Of the Senate TO become 3 law. 1t is
scarcely prsbable that this concurrence
will be given, and if it is not, the
Democrats will have to bear the re,
Gponsibility. The Republicans have
shown that they are not only willing
but anxious to afford the people an
opportunity of changing the organic
laws of the State so that they viii be
suited to the present age, and although
the Democrats have promised this in
every campaign Tor years, they are now
opposing il on technical grounds. We
do not think there can be the slightest
doubt that the vote taken at the cleo
tion last October one year ago was
strictly in accordance with Article TX
If the Constitution. Still if there il
loom for doubt, the people should be
given the benefit OF l., and the conyen

II may not be out of place in connection
with the history of the late Henry
Ward Beecher 10 mention an affecting in
cident in his life, which may have faded
from the remembrance of some of our
older citizens. In 1880 or 1852 beautiful
octoroon girl, raised and owned by prom
inent citizen of this county, Mr.. John
Churchman, attempted TO make her way
North. She was arrested and brought
back. Her master then determined TO sell
her, and found a ready purchaser in an
other citizen Mr.. Fred Scheffer. Shortly
after this the late owner was impressed
with the belief that the girl intended TO
make another effort to 20 North the next
opportunity that presented. To meet
the emergency and save trouble Mr..
Scheffer proposed TO sarah that she should
30 North and raise enough money from
the aboiitionists TO purchase herself. This
proposition she eagerly accepted, and, be-
ing furnished wIh the means by Mr.
Schefler to pay her fare. started. A few
days after her arrival in New York she was
taken 10 Mr.. Beecher, and on the following
Sunday morning was escorted 10 his pulpit
in Brooklyn. She was q woman of COM

winning face and long, jet black hair, aud
of course. under the circumstances at

and wealthy congregation assembled. She
was requested to loosen her hair. and as

her shoulders and below her waist. Robed

NAMED by her side without uttering
word, until the audience was brought
up to high pitch of curiosity
and excitement. and then in his impressive
way he related her story and her mission.
Before he concluded his pathetic recital the
vast audience was a sea Of commotion.
Tears ran down cheeks unused to the melt
ing mood, eager curiosity and excitement
pervaded the whole congregation, and as
the pastor announced that he wanted s.. 900
