again, but give better satisfaction. Evansville
asks no odds of st. Louis or Louisville in COM

negroes, for she has none to support, or the
staggering feet-on-the- mantal-p piece style, to
keep up,ef holder ola bill ofsal ola human be-
ing and can duplicate all bills bought in either OF
those markets at discount. Scions of that
same family of croakers also urge that the
prohibitory liquor law will cause trade to fall
off. 1t may cause it to pay up better. Com
mercialIy it will be pruning the tree to make
! it more thrifty and the money expended for
rum may be appropriated for the comforts of
life, and all branches of trade may be the re-
cipients of the benefit of that human law 1t
is law enacted for the good of man, and who
will seriously throw obstacles in the way of
lettering the condition of man. 1t not only
secures the sanction of the christian and philan-
throphist but of God. You take interest out of
the question and Sampson like you pull out
the pillars of the opposition. May the Legis-
lature of Indiana never enact law less at
variance with the codes of the great law maker
1t will come right-giye it time. Who would
have thought few years ago, that the chival-
rous state Of Kentucky would disfranchise
one other citizens for fighting duel; yet it is

rather trust to her manufacturers, than to her
sellers of rum hurrying the destiny of Evans
vile to that of large and prosperous city
Another branch of that transcendental family OF
croakers, say in connection with this subject
that this, prohibitory law has a tendency to
! drive away and keep out emmigration.
| Iwould ask when will it go witE any certain
ty of not being oyertaken by this law?. It
is as difficult to say. what State will not pass
this law as itwould be to 'bind a boy WITHOUT
knowing his age" There is nothing TO date
| from. This question has been progressing and
i occupying the attention of many of the best
men of this country for over aquarter of a CEN
fury. 1t has presented various phases, part
temperance, total abstinence, Sunday Law,
and now, week day and prohibition law A
more suitable caption would have been, "A
Law to Prevent Drunkenness, Pauperism and
! Crime" It is fair to suppose, as it is founded
on the noble principle of the good of man, that
it will still progress, If that viii be the re-
suit, and the old adage true that "a rolling
stone gathers no moss . what is, there to be
gained by any of your citizens leaving, or any
holding back that might otherwise, Gomez
J Where will they, where can they go to better
their condition? What city in the West pre-
! sents fairer prospects for all kinds of bust
ness? What one has encircled around it
richer body reproductive land, and watered in
every direction with creeks and springs and
land at so low price? what country in the
| West is more healthy than around it? What
one has a more ready cash market for the pro-
auctions of the farmer? What city in the
| Union where the labors of the gardener and the
/ trucker are better rewarded than at the Evans
vile market The energy and enterprise of
your citizens are proverbial; there is more go
ahead, less dead timber, and more of the pro-
polling power, in your rapidly growing little
city, than any other l have met in my western
! tour.
The more / travel, and the more see of
other places, the better am pleased with Ev-
ansville, the thriving Crescent City of the
Ohio.

and the courtesies l received at your sanctum.
