A LESSON IN NTRAsT.

Two years ago, when Atlanta was
full Of saloons and dives, negro crimi-
mails thronged the jails and their
whiskey produced crimes caused the
most horrible race riot of this decade.
For the first time In 40 years there is
not negro in prison in the city of
Atlanta. - There are over go saloons
in Wilmington. In the county Jail
there are over. 200 prisoners await
ing trial for all sorts of crimes s+ y
The contrast between the empty At
lanta Jail. where state prohibition
prevails and the crowded Wilmington
Jail, whsro three score saloons are
wide open is argument enough for
prohibition.

ing more judges Of pronounced tenn

Some of the editors about the coun- try that have been batting Congress man Lilley on the back for his efforts tO unearth submarine graft nave changed their tune since the evidence of Witness Neff, who told the ommit- tee that the Lake Boat Co. was back of the charges and that representa- tives of the company have prepared IilIey's questions. The Hartford Times editor. who has been booming Iilley for political purposes only. says the Waterbury man made a mistake. We quote: MT Neff. the Washington representative of the Lake company testified on Wednesday before the BOutell committee that he had help cd largely in preparing the statements submitted by Mir Lilley. and that, with cx-Senator Thurston. he had formu- lated most Of the questions Mir Lilley presented to the committee. In all this there is nothing improper or un- natural, but it serves to divert attcn- ton from the only question properly before the committee. which is wheth- CT improper influence was exerted on legislation as to the award of con- tracts for submarine boats If it can l,e shown that such influence was used by one company. or by two. this should be done. and. in spite Of thu at- titude of the committee in failing to compel thc production of books and papers which would throw light on the subject, enough has been brought ont tO strengthen the belief that MT Lil- Icy had information which. if proved correct. would justify the charges he made.

Washington, April 17.-In picturesque language, at times violently denunci- atory, Alfred O.

He intimated plainly that the members of the currency commission and the American Bankers association did not act fairly with the banking and cur rency committee In unanimously oppos- ing the AldrIch bill

Judging from the statement made
 by Governor Woodruff to the New
 Haven Register yesterday, it is evil
 dent that he would accept nomina-

 candidate against MT Lake or Mir Lil-
 ley, but if the convention sought fit | to nominate him it would find him in more receptive mood.-New Britain Herald.
 Rev Dr Gordon of Boston thinks 1t requires more courage to be minis
 ter of the gospel and stand up against
 strong body of laymen than it does to be a member of any other profes-
 sion. The reason he thinks so is be-
 cause he is more familiar with the
 clerical profession than ne is with any other. There is occasion at times for courage in all occupations, and when
 there is occasion the quality is. about
 the same verywhere.-New Bedford Standard.
 When really big piece of news comes along. like the fire in Chelsea, it Is interesting to note how impos- sible it is for yellow journals to meet

 While the wise men in congress and at the head of the United States government are in doubt as to whether or not they have any right to legislate against anarchy and its products, and if any, to what extent it may permit them to go, the legis- lature of New Jersey takes the mat ter in hand for that state and lays down the law in no equivocal or half-hearted way. It puts into the hands of the proper authorities all the law they need to dig out anarchy root and branch. Now Mayor Me Bride can get in his work.-Bridge- port Standard.
 Mayor Meals of Harrisburg, Pa, believes that drunkenness is dis ease and he proposes to treat the in- ebriates somewhat differently than is the custom in most big cities. He has instructed the chief of police to take plain drunks home instead of locking them up and declares that when a man gets hopelessly drunk In a saloon the proprietor must take care of him and not throw the inebriate into the gutter. The mayor expresses his conviction that the taking of drunks home will do more than anything else to make them ashamed of them- selves.-New London Day.
