Now it will be seen that 60 Republicans
voted for the amendment, while only IL
voted against it; A Democrats voted against
it and only IL for it. This settles the politi-
cal complexion of the vote.
Aside from the moral aspects of the case
which prohibitiOnists make the most of and
about which much may be said pro ct CON,
there are financial commercial and indus
trial considerations which the people are
not likely to overlook when deciding what
course is best to pursue with regard 10 such
questions. The census statistics of 1880, re-
lating to the manufacture of ''spirituous,
vinOus and malt liquors" are not at hand,
and for the present We shall have to rely
upon the figures of 1870. We find that in
1870 there were in operation in the United
States 3.OS9 establishments, employing 49,
O6O hands. The capital invested amounted
to SG6, 65S, 945; the amount annually paid
out for wages was S9,OO9, O62; the materials
required amounted to $40, 110, 2ss; and the
annual product amounted to s94. 123, Ola,

American Children.

George Jacob Hoyoake, in the Cooperative News.
Children in America are regarded as apt
to act upon their own will rather than upon
the will of their parents. 1t did not appear
to be so in any of the families which l had
opportunities of observing; on the contrary.
there was manifest affectionate and intelli-
gent obedience. At the same time it was ap-
parent that young people were more self
acting than they are in England, where We
have somewhat unwise domestic paternal-
ism, which encourages costly dependence.
The result is that many parents have to keep
their children at period of life when chill
dren should be prepared to keep their parents,
if need be. The American habit of training
their children to independence, which they
interpret as meaning self-dependence, has
much to be said in its favor.
We have the Scriptural maxim: Train
up child in the way it should go" Young
people in England, among the middle class,
have quite reversed this. Their reading of
the text is: Train up the parents in the
way they should go, that when they are old
they shall not depart from it." Hence 1t Is
that we have so MANY young men whose
politics are Conservative coDeeit, who des-
pise the principles under which their
fathers were enabled to achieve prosper ty
and who think their mission in thiH world
is to live upon the earnings of their rela
tives, making no honest exertions on theil
own behalf

We are satisfied thatthe census statistics
OF 1880 will increase these figures fully so

the question: Shall these industries be
struck down by a prohibition amendment
Indiana is now manufacturing considerable
wine, and the soil and climate of the South
ern portion of the State are favorable for the
development of the industry. From n bush
ness standpoint, there are other figures
which are To be considered in the discussion

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20.
He PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.

The Indiana Republican Legislature, now
in session, has voted to submit to the people
of the State prohibitory amendment to the
Constitution, the full text of which is as fol-
lows:
House joint resolution proposing amendment
to the Constitution Of the State OF Indiana by in
sorting Article II. forever prohibiting the manu-
facture sale keeping for sale, in the State of In
diana, splrituous, vinous, malt or any other in
toxicating liquors except for SCIENTIFIC medical,
mechanical, and wines for sacramental purposes
and providing for regulating sales for said pur-
poses.
Resolved, by theiGeneral Assembly of the State
of Indiana. That the following amendment be
and is hereby proposed to the Constitution of the
State of Indiana, to be submitted to the vote Of
the electors of the State, viz, amend by adding
Article II so as 70 read as follows:
section l. The manufacture. sale keeping
for sale In said State, spirituous, vinous. malt
liquors, or any other intoxicating liquors Except
for medicinal. scientific. mechanical and wines
for sacramental pnrposes), shall be and is
hereby forever prohibited In the State of
Indiana
Sec. 2. The General Assembly Of the State of
Indiana shall provide by law in what manner,
by whom, and at what places such liquors shall
be manufactured or sold for mechanical and
sacramental purposes.
1t is probably true that large majority
of the Republican members of the LegisIa-
ture we're pledged to vote for some stringent
liquor law; but upon their arrival in the
Capital City, where consultations could be
had, they discovered that it was impolitic
to press the matter, and in lieu of passing a
prohibitory liquor law, and as a means Of
making fair sailing with their constituents,
they hit upon the amendment dodge, thereby
hoping to escape the odium of disapproba-
ton, and of retaining their hold upon the
people. They were wanting in courage to
meet their pledges squarely, and will rely
upon such electioneering tactics as the ma
ture of the case admits to retain the con-
fidence they have betrayed, while the re-
sponSibihty of success or defeat is thrown
upOu those who elected them. In the House |
the joint resolution was passed by a vote of
A. ayes to IS nays-politically divided as

Charlie Ross Again.
Charlie Kos,
A Philadelphia special to
the l4th SAYS:

the 14th says:
Another clue to the lost Charlie Ross has been
discovered, and Ii comes to light through John
w. Forney. wha has received a letter from Robert
Dalston London N E., March 81, 1881. In this let
ter Mr.. Hugman says he was under the impress
sion that the boy had been restored to his par
ents until he saw paragraph in a paper to the
contrary, short time ago. up TO the 18th of
this month";" he writes to Colonel Fornev, ~
lived in Loughton, Essex, twelve miles northeast
a school there, to which place. also, a Charlie
Ross came. He was pretty child, and though a
woman with whom he lived there passed him off
as her son George. he often talked with my
children, the little girl especially. and said his
name was not George, but Charlie Ross. and that
the woman not his mother; that he was
brought from America in Il big ship; and my
girl has frequently spoken to her mother of hew
hard 1t must be for him to be stolen from his
home. He has frequently told my child
dren that his mother was lady. l have
often seen him with this questionable persen,
and have OF late lost sight of her, though have
been told where she is now to be found. The boy
left our village some time ago, as understood,
To be sent home. and from what | have since
heard think this boy is the one who was stolen
away from home. and answers to the description
of Charlie Ross This letter Is accompanied by
one from w. G.. Kipgsbury, who is a well known
business man IN London aud personal friend OF
Colonel Forney's. He indorses Mr.. Hugman's
statement. and writes: About a year ago. when
| was spending a night at his beautiful villa al
Loughton. the children of his family brought up
the subject of Charlie, and Mr.. and Mrs. Hugman
related what they knew of the matter; but at
that time thought the boy had been found, and
told them this could not be the American boy,
and gave IL very little attention Mrs II. told
me that the woman who had him in charge
always went yelled, her excuse being that her
husband was abroad and she had taken a VOW
not to show her face in public until he returned;
but her face often seen one way or another,
and she was pronounced a very ordinary looking
woman. The boy himself used TO talk about il
with the children and when the woman would
cometo take him from their plays. he would say
Go way. now: you amt nv mother. My mother
was lady, and she lives away over the water.
etc" Mr.. Kingsbury says a short time previous
to this the boy was taken away. and the woman
herself moved TO another place, and he adds: II
have hardly any doubt but that his was and is
the veritable Charlie Ross, and that If he has
been taken away the woman could tell some
thing about it II we can make any new dis
coveries we will write or cable you as soon as
made"

Elmore T. Cobb, one of the first young men of
this city. son of one of the wealthiest men in
Cleveland, blew his brains out last night Dur
ing the evening he went TO the home OF his father
and went to his own room without meeting any
member OF the family. Soon after this he was
heard walking to and fro. A brother went 10 the
room door to see IL anything was wanted; he said
nothing was wanted. The brother turned and
was part way down stairs when the deceased
mother il was an accident" Then followed the
report OF a revolver. The brother rushed into
the room and found young Cobb lying on the
head -he bullet had entered just above the
right eve. The remainder of the family were in
formed of the tragedy. and Drs. Ison and Thayef
summoned but they could do nothing Death

old and several wears ago made an unfortunate

downfall. II is claimed that for several days the
deceased suffered greatly from mental depression
