W. A. ReGONA1, W. L. McDONALD" m . AFTER one of the most remarkable campaigns in the history of Southern politics Atlanta has gono "wet." Prohibition has been defeated on the very field whore it had boon claimed that it was most successful. Tua present Legislature will have its hands full. It will be well for the people if it should be able to learn early in the session that its principal duty lies on the line of destroying a number of more or less stupendous follies. Tun Governor, in his message to the Legislature, recommends the estab mont of a reformatory for juvenile criminals. If the Governor had called the institution a college instead of a "reformatory" the Legislature might have adopted the suggestion. Tne proposition that the State finish the canal is one which will hardly be adopted at this time; nor will the alternative which is being pressed upon the Legislature, to give the thing away, be seriously entertained. The State has spent $175,000 on this enter prise, and has learned that it ought never to have undertaken the thing. It is too much, however, to ask the State to give away the whole concern. Marsupial Law-Makers. A member from one of the moun tain districts, Mr. Davenport, has been trying to get the Legislature to include the "possum" in the game laws. Mr. Davenport, if we are not mistaken, pressed his measure on the Legislature at the last session unsuc cessfully, but to the amusement of his fellow-members. That body had no sooner convened in 'its present session than the gentiman was "possum" hunting again. The benevolence of his soul has gone out to the "possums" in their lonely walks in the dark. Mr. Davenport ought to learn the name of the marsupial which ho seeks to protect and then go home. Local Taxation. The Governor recommends the pas sage of an Act providing for local tax ation to extend the school term. The recommendation should be ."pigeon holed." The whole doctrine of local toxation is wrong to begin with; it is funda mentally at variance with all the prin ciples of the common law. It has been the boast of the English-speaking race for centuries that taxation could be Iiposedi upon the people only by the popular branch of the Legislature. In England no revenue bill can origi nate in the House of Lords, nor can the Senate of the United States, nor the Senate of any State in the Union orIginate such a bill. Tbo power to levy taxes is the prerogative of the Hfouse of IfReprentatives alone. The principle has passed into the enduring form of a constitutional guarantee. The Legislature should not shirk its duty ; if in its judgment the taxes for school purposes should be raised, lot it raise them. It is for this that the members are elected and sent to Col umbia. The local taxation dodge is one of the devices of a ime-serving age. It is too much to have the great right of property committed to the final wisdom of a township mob. The Honnestead Law. The Legislature ought not to foget to submit to the people at the next election a proposed amendment to the Constitution abolishing th6 homestead exemption. There are many reasons why it should be abolished; it is dishonest to begin with; it Is an easy house of refuge for dishonest traders. It may sound like a platitude, but it is none the less true, that no people can per manently prosper who habitually set at defiance the common princIple of honesty In the ordinary transactions of life. There are also other reasons why the homestead law should be abolished. It deprives the poor man of his credit. The small farmer: Who owns nine hundred dcllars' worth of land and four hundred dollars' worth of per sonal property, has no standing in the commercial world, for the simple rea eon that the arm of the law is not long enough to reach him, if after having been trusted he should become disposed to act dishonestly. The law deprives of credit the very class of people who most need credit--the small proprietors. I4 necessitates the lien law and long prices, from be - neath the ehadow of which no indus try has ever struggled..

She is now, strange to say, very ill from the birth of the last onild, though after the birth of the quartette she rapidly got well and went to work and remained in her usual health until the birth of the last child. -(C'oZumbia Record.) The request of the directors of the penitentiary, seconded by Governor Itlohardeon, that the Legiaslature make an annual appro riation for the main tenance of that institution, ought cer tainly to be adopted. It is the only business-like way of conducting the Institution. It will lend indeed to in creased efficiency and economy in its management. For a board of State officers to borrow money in order to sustain tho State prison is something so much at variance with safe prac tice, with business princinles that the P Logislatnre should at onice Intervene e to obviate the necessity which has in duced it. a (Netaberry Observer.) 1i The State has already spent, in 8 money and labor, about $176,000 on the canal. Now it is proposed, by . Columbia, that the State turn over the canal to the city and give her in addi tion, about $50 000 in convict labor; in return for which the city is to allow the State 1,000-horse power. It is not stated, and we do not know, how much horso power the State has already. The propositlon appears to us, from the limited knowledge we have of the subject, about as follpws: Total estimafed cost of the canal when completed. ....*4 ,000 The State has already spent..$176,000 e The Strte is asked to spend fur ther, in labor... ......... 50,000 Total by the State.......$225,000 5 Columbia proposes to expend. 200,000 b Total cost................$425,000 According to Major Lee's estimate, F the canal completed will have 10 000 horse power. So that while the Atate r spends $226,000 and the city $200 000, a the city is to have nine-tenths of the a water power and the State only one tenth. The price of water power at the Augusta canal is furnished to lessees at65 per horse power. If that should be the price at the Columbia canal, the State would derive, say, $5,000 a year and the city $45,000. See? The State expends $226,000 and gets $5,000 a year in horse power; the city ex ponds $200,000. and gets $45,000 in horse power. Thisla a pretty bold proposition. Prof. Lowanda's Grand Festival (Ntoes and Courier, Novenber 13th, 1887.) The Academy of Music was packed from parquet to gallery last night to I witness the second performance of Prof. Lowanda's company. Every p art of the varrd programme was faithnully parried out to the great I satisfaction of the entire audience, and the numerous tricks performed were frequently applauded. One of the best parts of the performance last ' night was the "Talking Human Skull" which was both a wonder and an amusement to everybody. The com pany is a good one and deserves the 'l patronage of the public everywhere. A large number of beautiful presents were given away, and some of the silverware was handsomeand elegant. i Prof. Lowanda is exceedingly exact in carrying but his promises and he said last night that if he could purchase a cow and also a horse and buggy, he F would give them away to-night in the same manner as the othier presents have been~ distributed. The price of tickets has been reduced to 25 cents to E aypart of the theatre. A good house wildoubtless greet Prof. Lowanda both at the matinee and also to-night. The gifts last night were of the finest quality. Mr. W. M. H1il1 drew the set of walnut ihrniture; Mr. M. B. Harri son drew the silver ice pitcher; Mr. T. E. Daiwich drew the slver fruit stand, and the lady's gold watch fell1 to the lot of' Miss Mary Cancions. raFOy n FIt INOE. BLEGANCE and DU *McMAMTIn, kICE & KIpTCH IN. Blrace Up.
