/IBB LIQUOR QUK»NO!* AGAIN. election time cornea around each the temperince question bobs nely to tbe surface and acts as a dishing element iu politics, tbe Demote party, as a rule, being tbe gainer the interference. Last year the Relieans of Indiana made it an issue in they demanded that a constitutional indroent providing for prohibition «ubmitte4 to a vote of the people. proposition was backed by a petlto tbe Legislature signed by 40,000 sens.

advocating tbe submission

.he amendment, tbe Republicans did advocate Us adoption, but merely latad that this course should be pur•d in order that tbe question should settled In that manner and forever removed from politics. The Demoppoaed tbe submission scheme, de an issue 6f it, and tarried the t«. This year, over in the State of o, tbe Republicans also met with deon a similar issue. Although the election is not due until nearly a 'hence, the temperance question is in preparing to thrust itself into the .paign, and will doubtless lose none its importance in deciding the cont. few days ago, the famous Dr. Dio is stepped into the ring and carded publio to the extent of several ool.us on the subject, taking strong ands against prohibition, and giving reason therefor. This letter was llshed in full in tbe Indianapolis lrnal, this week, and has drawn out end of opinions. Some sustain the ws expressed, but tbe same old temnnoe element is again in tbe field tbe some old demands, and tbe in'011s are that unless it receives tbe renition demanded at tbe bands of ne party, it it will proceed with its old tics by nominating a ticket of its own .1 playing smash with tbe only party tie tbe most Inclined to offer it aid comfort.,, he agitation of the temperance queeis not confined to the states of Inna and Ohio alone. It is spreading ougbout the Union. Even in New •k it is receiving a fair share of atiluu, in ttiat state the sale or liquor robibited on Sunday, as it is in In11a, and aa in this State the law is led on every possible occasion. But New York city there seems to be an rt to enforce that portion of the law )oh applies to Sunday closing. Tbe nor dealers of ooe ward have agreed •lose their houses on tbe Sabbath and all in their power in compelling men tber portions of tbe city in the same it)ess to do likewise. This is a move be right direction, and as the dealers selves have taken the initiatory it may meet with sucoess. It is a ult matter to eloae tbe saloons on ay. With most of them it is the vest day of the week. It ls true that ry reputable dealer would close on day if his competitors in business ^compelled todo likewise, but therein the trouble. If one closed while the remain open he is liable to lose customers, hence he is compelled to popen bona*. ,1'* V* *. 1 this vicinity no attempt is made to 4ly with the law in regard to its day or eleveu o'clock provisions.

Sunday they are all in full blast, and pretension is made to close the doors a, and it is doubtiul that an exciting ^peranee movement would induce to do it, although such has been 1 in other places. Take for inice the town of Kokomo, which re tfy experienced a change of heart in dlrqefttoo* A dtisen or that place recenUy .ta Chicago, where he was •dfwlth: So yo« are from Kokomo, eh: tbe c« where there has been such a big iperance movement?"

What's the chief industry of Kokor* Wall, moat of us ia oarpenters now." Ixrts of building in town So, but all the saloons la bavin* back side doors put in, and It makes ht smart work." ,)ver in the neighboring State of Hllis, tbe law allows eaob town to regn tbe lteeoee Aw, which virtually ounts to local option. If the etttaena any place are opposed to having any oons In their midst, the iicenss Is at suoh a figure that to prosecute bosineaeis an impossibility. Thus many of the town In the State, no sone are to ha found, and any infrsc of the law la promptly met with ishment. In JoUet, a dty of 12,000 tsnta, the 11 reuse Is 91,000 par aon, The result la that In a tew intba the number of saloons has been [local from ooe hundred and ton to than twenty-five, white the papers the dtf unite In aayln jthat the mt--fir »r

"icipal affairs have never been in as good condition as they are at present, tbe police force bas been reported ss sober (which indicates that heretofore they have been otherwise), the fire de-! part men is all that could be desired, tbe city treasury is full (ss perhaps tbe population has been heretofore), and very few people are thrown upon the charities of tbe population. Of course the people feel satisfied with the result, and high license is an established fact.

If uuvih a state of affairs existed in Terre Haute, there would doubtless be unbounded sstisfaction, bnt, unfortunstely, such is not the case. During tbe session of tbe last Legislature, an attempt was made to have the high license system adopted, bnt it failed to receive any recognition, and matters move slowly along in the ssme groove in which tbey have passed in years gone by. It is true that in tbe past few months the number who have sold without the formality of obtaining license, has been materially reduced in this county, but still the law is violated day after day, and the same state of afiairs will oontinue in existence as long ag tbe present methods are pursued.

No one questions tbe right of the8tate to control tbe tariff in liquors, but the manner of enforcing its laws, compared with those of general government is worthy of comment. The United States imposes a tax on the manufacture and sale of spirits, and enforces it. While many can be fonnd who evade tbe Slate law none can be found who operate in violation of tbe law of tbe wholecountry. Wby Because tbe agents of tbe government are abroad in the land in search of such violations, and any infrlngment of the law is sure to meet with immediate punishment. The manufacture and sale are supervised by the anents of the government and frauds are almost entirely unknown. The State should follow tbe example set it. The saloon keeper should be subjected to tbe same supervision as the distiller and brewer. Officers should be appointed whose duty it is to see that the State laws are enforced just the same aa those of tbe United States. It would cost money to have such officers, but their appointment and maintenance by tbe State would swell the revenue to lsrge proportions. It is all very well to cry down tbe present laws, and to a certain extent the cry ia justifiable. But give them a chance by a strict enforcement* %nd a different result would be experienced. Experience haa taught that prohibition does not prohibit. Tbe State of Indiana has a good lincense law, which should have a fair trial by a strict onforcement before being hurled among the thing* of the past. It should be hedged in by proper provisions for its enforcement, and then should it prove a failure let it go by the board and be succeeded by some other measure whose utility seems most plausible, but until it has had a proper chance let it remain. $

a'Hvdiiian's

About the easiest thing In the world to do la to make rules for oth6r people. Every sensible employer knows that strong driuk unfits a man for business, consequently he forbids It among his workmen, but although all the business management fallsnpon him, he does not hesitate to indulge his appetite, at whatever risk. While the rule la a most excellent one, yet It seems a terrible satire for a general to prohibit a certain vice because It will ruin his ^Jdien and then make out of himself a tched example.!

And, taking It altog uer, there la no one habit that presents many strange coutrsdiotton* as this of drinking. 1 If a man bas any other vies he may hope to lreform, but if be fans this one: the cam la hopeless. All others wear themselves ont and grow stale and distasteful aa age creeps .on, hat tikis habit si eases ia strength. Whore are your permanently reformed drunkards There are none. A man will sometimes make a deaperste effort, when he aees death and destruction slating him in the1

face, but if he succeeds in warding them off for a little while, be soon relapses into the old ways. It isa common thing to see men of excellent business capacity. fine minds and good judgment, chdlberatelyaad systematically walking straight, to ruin and fully realizing what tbey are doing. Wben one of this vast number finally succeeds in putting bimself out of the world, all the reet say, "Poor fellow! liquor killed him," and then, standing in a row before the bar, tbey solemnly drink to bis memory^

Altbongh a man perfectly understands that every glass of liquor be takes is adding to tbe gulf that separates him from wife and children and is increasing tbe flood tbat is sweeping away bis home, he will not drink one glass the less. He is willing to sacrifice all for a taste and its effect. Well, the world would be better off to-day if every drunkard in it was dead and buried, it would be infinitely better off if all tbe saloon keepers bad followed tbeir victims. And yet there is not one of these men but bas gome good qualities which excuse him in tbe eyes of those wbo love bim. Those who love him! Yes, no man ever sins so deeply but tbat some one loves bim and clings to him, and tbat one is always a woman, disgraced, broken-beart ed but ever faithful and affectionate. Her love is stronger than the love of Christ for it makes no conditions. imposes no penalties daily it bears across which it may never lay down, and hourly it is crucified, un"»ustained by the hope tbat through lis sacrifice a single soul shall be redeemed.

Is there anytbiog in the world so utterly useless as a temperance lecture? If a premium were offered for one original sentence on this subject, it would never be awarded. All tbat it is possible to say bas been said, over and over again, until, by frequent repetition, tbe arguments have lost tbei" force. People will scarcely go to hear a temperance lecture, even if tbey are offered free admission and a chromo at the door. Tbey will not read tempeiance tracts, even though put up in prize packages warranted to draw a glass tumbler or a china

THITB BUT TRt'K.

1\ number of the railroads in the country have made it a rnlo not to employ any men who are in tbe habit of drinking. The presidents and other offioiais will, no doubt, continue to take tbeir usual drams, more if it suits them, and too much whenever tbey feel inclined. There is probably no "private" car on the road that has not a snug little apartment for liquors, and no party of railroad officials ever made a trip or ever invited their friends to make one, without laying In a plentiful supply of whiskey, chain pague,etc. indeed, this is generally tbe principal feature of tbe journey. There may be some fine scenery, perhaps a last spike to be driven or some legislators to be Influenced, but whatever the object, the means of accomplishing it are the same, plenty of stimulants. The conductor of of the train may listen to the popping of the corks and the brakeman may watch tbe liquor disappear, but If either one venture to take a glass he will lose his situation. In other words, the liquor may "put a bead'1 on the o®ci*la, but It will "take off the bead" of the employee.

spray of flowers, and every

body says, "How charming you look!*' yet, all the while, she, herself, never loses consciousness of the shabby, old dress.

Writers are commonly supposed to be conceited, self-confident, proud of their ability, but I doubt if there ever was one wbo felt satisfied with bis work. When be reads tbe standard authors and notes tbe vigor of thought, tbe purity of expreeslon, the lofty sentiment, tbe humor, the pathos, or whatever quality has mide them famous, he feels thoroughly disheartened and almost resolves never to wr te again. No writer Is ever able to express his best ideas. Tbey are always just ready to be written but ever refuse to form themselves Into words. Tbey are as elusive aa a pbautom. In the language of spiritual slang, ''Tbey won't materialise.'*

Then, it Is so bard to be a consistent writer. The time, the place, the associations, tbe state of one's mind, when Writing, all exercise an influence and cause bim to take different views of tbe same subject but if one should happen to contradict an opinion previously expressed, he may look out for censure, even though Emerson baa declared that "people should not attempt to be consistent." Thus ho who writes must he aa careful what be a^tas if he expected to run for office

Perhaps the independent writer has the hardest time. It te impossible to avoid hurting somebody's feelings. If he criticises or condemns any of the vices of the day be Is sure to offend some one whom be really admires, and very often, his remarks, like an old gun, recoil and strike bttno. Then, too, people apply the criticisms to suit themselves and generally fasten them upon aome individual tbat the writer never thought of. Tbey cannot imagine that an article may he written only upon general principles, but insist upon making everyone a personal matter. Tbe independent writer makes many enemies. Tbo*ewho praise him to-day because 1M baa censured their neighbors, turn upon him tomorrow because ha touches up their own faults. His only recompense is tbe satisfaction of saying what ho pleases and the knowledge that such articles command tbe highest market price.

The topic Is worn threadbare, and tbe same may be said of every other topic. Ministers, lecturers, writers, all are seeking for a subject that shall be fresh and new. It is tbe great need of tbe day. People are tired of the old themes and so are the speakers and writers, but all that can be done is to take tbe wornout, hackneyed things, shake them up, dress them over and present them in an attractive and interesting manner. like the contents of a kaleidoscope, thqy may be made to assume a thousand different forms, yet, after all, they are but the same original bits of colored glass. The writer of to-day la like an ambitious woman who Is compelled to makea good appearance and yet cannot ht ve a new dress.

Friends praise tbe articles tbat are most unsatisfactory to tbe writer, and pass by, without eomment, thoal which he bas most carefully prepared. |lf he signs his name they tell him hois very foolish to assume so much responsibility if he does not sign it, they call him an "anonymous and irresponsible scribbler." They facetiously refer.to him, in society, as a dangerous Individual and request him "not to publish" some trifling thing which nobody on earth would read if her did publish it and when be Is enjoying a pleasant chat with anew acqttaintance, they call out, "Take cars.

INTERESTING MASONIC RELIC.

BROUGHT THENCE BY ROSWELL G. WHEELER, ESQ.

The archaeology of the Western Hemisphere, has, for many years, been an enticing subject to tbe student of not only that branch of science, but of tbat greater study of which this is a cognate —the science cf atbropology. The attention of foreign explorers has for yOars been more particularly engaged in investigalions concerning tbe pre-bis-toric period of South America, and it has been but recently, comparltively, siuoe North American antiquities have received tbe atteution they so richly deserve, from the student and explorer. In these later invertigations, however, it has been demonstrated, almost beyond controversy, tbat the ancient civilizations of Mexico, Central America and South Amerioa, sprung from that wonderful raoe of people, which, for the want of a more definite designation, we now speak of by the modest title of Mound fiuilders, whose seat of empire, for probably centuries, comprised tbe now great States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Our own county of Vigo, in the neighhood of what is now known as Pruirie Creek township, contained a dense pop' iation of them, as shown by existiug tumuli and other remains extending through the counties of Sullivan aud

Vigo in Indiana, and Clark in Illinois. What was the inducement of their final emigration southwards cani.ot uow be known, beyond the conjecture that they were driven to it by the invasion of some savage and barbarous force. Tbe supposition is well sustained, however, tbat they retired step by step, as it were, aud that it was very many centuries from the time of their evacuation of the valley of tho Ohio to the period that found their descendants erecting tbeir pyramids to tbe sun and moon on the plains of Teotohuacon. Tbat at some given period tbey separated, and pursued three distinct routes by which tbey finally arrived in Mexico, by migratioua of such protracted duration, tends rather to prove a fixed purpose and determination—even though adhered to for centuries—tb%n that such an event should have been tbe result of accident. This seems proven by the very fact tbat they pursued such diverse routes, one division going southward to the region of Florida, and thence coasting westward along the tiulf of Mexico anothei following tbe Hue of the Mississippi and thence westward by land whilst tbe third journeyed directly west to the Rocay Mountains and thence southward through Colorado New Mexico and Arizona, and yet all arrived at tbe same destination. It was lu this latter part of the journey that those curious cliffdwellings, in tbe perpendicular faces of tbe mountains, were constructed, and tbe extensive towns and cities in tbe valleys, known to us as puebles, were built. The largest and moec interesting single edifice of this character yet remaining, and which is properly con sidered tbe oldest and most important ruin in America, is tbe Casa Grande,— otherwise called tbe Casa de Montezuma —in Arizona, noar tbe town of Casa Grande, which ia uamed after It, and where ibe Agency of tbe Pima Indians is now located. Two stories of this ruin still remain, with portions indicating a third and accounts of the great mar&i of Coronado, in 1580, in search of the seven cities of Cibola—"Tbe citieeof tbe Boll"—give its bigbt at tbat period to have been four stories, and its walls six feet thick. The Pima Indians wbo were at that time living in tbe vicinity, bad no knowledge or tradition, even then, in regard to ita origin or history. In 1775 this bouae,and ita directconnections, still covered a space of four hundred feet in length by two hundred In width. Having been built of sun-dried bricka, or Mocks of adobe—prepared in position upon tbe walls, probably in boxes of some kind, two feet high and four feet long—it will readily be understood bow certainly and even rapidly tbose brood walls would crumble and waah away after the roof and floors bad been destroyed by fire.

Tbe first private account of it In this onuntry hi contained in Col. Emory's "Notes of a Military Reeonnoiaance" with our advance army in Mexico, in IMS. It tben showed nearly three stories in height, covering an area of sixty feet square. Hie walls are there said to be foor feet thick, formed by layers of mud two feet thick. No traces of bewn timber were discovered. Tbe sleepers of the ground floor, and other beams, wherever tbey bad been need. we» shown to bave been round and unhewn, supposed to be Sabine, a spedea of Juniper, or Oedar and it was found by aniweqoent explorers wbo tad secured pieces of the wood out of the walla, tbat that tbe enda showed the beams to have bean out by blunt instrumenta, un

doubtedly tbe axes of the stone age. Tbe whole interior of the house had been burnt out, tbe beams to a depth of si^ inches Into tbe walls, which were much defaced, though in places they bore marks of having been glased and a series of hieroglyphics were traced on the wall in the North room of tbe second story, which were copied, but unfortunately* lost at the time the book went to press. An elaborate sketch of tbe ruin was made and handsomely lithographed.

This interesting ruin was again carefully inspected iu 1852, and described by Mr. Birtlett In bis 'Personal Narativef andag|}nii£ 1863 by Mr. Ross Browne^ in his book eutitled "The Apache Coun-$ try.'' Mi. Brown made a sketch of itt# which can be found in Short's "Norttt Americana of Antiquity." This sketch, shows tbat in the several years succeeding Col. BhnOry's visit, time and the ele- a menta had made sad inroads upon the venerabl# pile. But a greatly more ^r-'i striking 'ebange has befallen it in tbo score of years just past, as shown by a pencil sketch made some months ago, by Mrs. Wheeler of this city, who with ber husband Roswell G. Wheeler, Es«q., tben government agent of the Pima Indians, often visited this interesting locality. Tbe highly venerable monument of antiquity is rapidly parsing away, and a few generations hence the traveller and explorer will find nothing of its once stately presence, but ridges of crumbling and mouldering clay. Soon in the future, tben, so far as out*, ward signs can show, a teeming civiliza^-, tion of other times, a community once estimated with a population of hundreds of thousands, and even now indicated only by this faxt decaying ruin, and tbose almost indestructuble relics, the fragments of battery that in all past civilizations, are the most enduring indications of the aforetime presence of man^will have passed forever from our Sight., iifiring his residenae at Casa Grande,

Mr. Wheeler formed the intention to bring bacK to his friend, Judge Thomas B. Long, of this city, some relic of Mexican antiquity, and finally conceived the idea of having a gavel made of apiece of tbe wood of this ancient palace—for suoh it must bave been considered by ita anknown founders, since in tradition it has always been regarded as the roai~ d6nee of Mon tezu ma hi mself. But when the time came to perfect his purpose It was found tbat not a fragment of the timbers any longer remained in tbe walls, and tbat arcbeeoiogists throughout the coup try had offered any price tbat might be asked for specimens to be preserved in cabinets and museums. In this emergency, a citizen of tbe town to whom be made known bis desire, gave hl.n a plcce be had carefully saved bim-

So this relic was made ol wood procured from a Mason, was inanufaotured by a Mason, and was carried all I this distance by Mr. Wheeler, himself a member of the fraternity, to be present*' ed to bis friend, the master of bis lodge. Not only tbat, but Dr. P. Reeder, a prominent citizen of o^a Grande, observed in one part of it.e tuin, certain striking Masonic .ii«. uis, and his judgment in relntU'ii ni tiiom
