FRoHIBIToRY LIQUOR LAWS.

Laws prohibiting the sale Of liquor as
a beverage have been passed in several
States, and should be passed in every
State in the Union.
Whenever the sale Of intoxicating Il.
quor is suffered to 90 unrestricted, drunk
%enness, poverty, and crime will be found
in the ascendent. We have found this
10 be the case in every State Of The Union
in which we have travelled. In fact there
are 10 exception to this rule. In the
New England States, where intellectual
and moral culture has been the most stern
y insisted upon, and every kind Of vice
and immortality frowned upon by the reli
ri~as-drunEenness increased from year
10 year, until il could number its victims
among every class Of men and women
The sacred alters Of religion were profan-
ed by the breath Of the ~drunkard. The
halls Of legislature, the sanctuary Of art.
science, and the temple Of law-have been
and still are defled with the breath Of the
drunkard.
The evil consequences Of drunkenness
have made themselves apparent 10 the
majority in some eight or ten States, and
hence the passage of prohibilory laws in
those States.
Drunkenness and drunkard making are
crimes of which society should take cog.
nlzance' and make laws to suppress. This
IS a duty which it owes to itself, and
which 1t cannot neglect without incurring
the most dreadful penalty. We earnest
Iy hope that the people Of this Territory
will take a stand in tins matter, they will
have reason TO rejoice over in coming
years. Make good laws against the trait
fc in intoxicating liquor, and against
drunkenness, and carry them into execu-
ton, no matter upon whom the penalty
falls. Let there be no respecting of per.
sons--let the dealer, as we'll as the poor
upler, fall beneath the weight of the law.
and endure its course.

A MONSTER IRON STEAMER.

The great iron Steamer which is being
built for the Eastern Steam Navigation
Company Of London is $50 feet long, OF
more than twice as long as any steamer
that we have. Her breadth is SO feet.
and her depth % feet. This ship is in
tended for the long voyage 10 Australia
and the object Of building her so large is
that she may carry coal sufficient 10 make
The voyage without stopping, and so avoid
The delay and the cost Of taking in coal al
a foreign station. Coal on the Indian and
Australia routes, cost four and five times
MS much as in England. The consump
ion on a voyage Of that distance amounts
10 from four to six thousand tons. This
steamer will not only carry this amount
Of coal, but five thousand tons Of measur-
ed merchandise and capacity to accom-
modate five hundred cabin passengers
and ample space for troops and lower class
passengers TO the amount Of $500 more
persons. The vessel il is believed, will al
tain a speed Of fifteen knots an hour, and
the voyage between England and Austria
liza will be reduced 10 % or SO days
The whole OF the ships bottom will will be
double and Of cellular construction, so
that an external injury viii not effect her
safety. Her body in fact, will consist Of
two concentric hulls, one within the other
with two feet Of space between, the space
to be divided by partitions into cells five
feet wide, extending from above the load
lind to the kelson. The work is under
the engineering supereutendeuce OF Mr..
J.. X. Burned, The vessel is being built
keel parallel to the river, her length being
so great as 10 prevent her being launched
in any other than a side way. Her ma
chnory is all to be duplicated so that in the
event OF accident to one set Of machinery,
the vessel will have another set 70 drive
her. She will have screw or paddle en-.
gines with a nominal power Of 1000
horses. The whole tonnage amounts to
22,OIO burden. Whether she will sue
coed commercially or not is a problem yet
to be solved. The experiment exeites a
great deal Of interest in England.

DEAR Stat noticed IN The last mum
Der Of the Nebraska City News, an arti-
Gle on the Democratic Convention, held at
Omaha City the g b ult. / do not propose
to notice but two illusions in the article,
mot "a true Democrat South OF the Platte,
went near them, and but one from Belle
vue, and he had evidently sold himself
body and soul 70 Omaha" this is a grave
charge, but is made by a special pIeader,
who only means the reader shall infer he
sold himself; that some Of the Democrats
South Of Platte refused 10 go into the Con
y%ention because there were those PARTED
poling who were personally obnoxious,
proves nothing for the democracy Of those

VERIFYING III MAIL.

In a previous issue Of the Palladium
we stated that the proprietor of the Belle

to ferry the mail between these places

thority for saying what we did-having in
company with several others heard he

for some unknown reason, we have been
disappointed in this thing. THE liberal

sETTLIEG AN ESTATE

A novel mode Of administering upor
the estate Of a deceased person was exhib.
ted anong the Omaha Indians at Belleyu,
a few days since. The case was that Of
a man drowned in the Missouri river
leaving a horse and hunting equipments
with no legal heirs to claim Them.
The trial took place on the beautiful
interval below the Mission in the follow.
ing manner. The people en- masse, were
notified to meet at a given time and place
and resolve themselves into a court, with
full powers TO settle the estate at issue.
Accordingly, the court was convened
on the turf, unsheltered, except BY the
free sir around, and the blue canopy Of
heaven above, and constituted Of "Medi-
cine men," chiefs, braves and common
people, Of all ages and sexes, amounting in
to four or five hundred persons. The
estate was exhibited in open court-which
required those desiring TO enter The list of
competitors for the property, 10 run TO a
goal fixed upon, about a mile distant and
back, the first one back became the legal
Of the estate.
We have seen many estates disposed Of
a more unreasonable manner than this,
by courts established in civilized, enlighl-
ened and christian countries.
