COngra!ulatOy Address TO the Methodist
Ministers Iowa

The recent grand victory for prohibition
in Iowa was promoted in no light degree
BY the constant co operation of the Meth.
odist clergy and people Of that state, in the
canvas and the vote for constitutional. 20.
hibiion. Bishop Hurst has therefore pub.
lished the following:
To The ministers of The Methodist Episcopal
church of IoUa:
With glad and grateful hearth congrat-
ulate you on the magnificent triumph of
the prohibitory amendment on June 9th.
On that day the sun set on redeemed Iowa.
Your part in this conflict has been worthy
of the first decades in the history of our
church. Your irresistible appeals; your
tireless work by day and night, at home
and abroad your sympathy with the suf-
ferer, and charity towards the authors of
his sorrow; your intelligent presentation
Of the evils of intemperance, to the young
and old, to the English, German, and
Scandinavian tongues; your unanimous
and simultaneous uprising even before the
general assembly placed the privilege of a
vote before the people; and your patience
much misrepresentation, have helped in
no small measure to achieve a victory
whose territorial area and scope in time
no faith or imagination is strong enough
10 measure.
When the first western itinerants preach
ed in the cabins and out on the broad
prairies between the Mississippi and the
Missouri they encountered only the Indian
and the wild beast, and all the inconveni-
ences of an unsettled country. But in
every community where you have lived
and laborod, you have had intemperance
as your constant foe, fortified by wealth,
talents, social arts and great persistence.
Your herosm, however, has proved to be
of the same firm, fine fibre as that of our
fathers, and posterity will give it as secure
place in Its love and gratitude. But our
victory will be barren, and our accounta-
bility greater, if we do not embrace the
now wider opportunity OF the good work
OF gathering in souls, of healing the wounds
made by uncontrolled intemperance, and
of guarding and educating our people on
those more insidious dangers of intoxicat
ing drinks from which no popular verdict
or righteous legislation can exempt US.
TO this new phase of the great reform let
us now address ourselves. For what you
have done toward the triumph of the
27th, our $4,000 members in Iowa, and the
millions of our communion in this and dis
tant lands, will thank you, and join with
you and your congregations in thanks.
giving to him who gave his inspiration at
the beginning of this great contest, and in
prayer that he may give us the courage
and wisdom to reap the best possible har-
vest from the signal popular triumph Of
over thirty thousand majority in Iowa over
the biting serpent and singing adder of
intemperance. JOHN F. HURST.

A CITY UNDER GRoUND.-For the past
six months the work of digging the canal
to connect Lakes Eustis and Dora in order
to open up the more southern lakes of the
Great Lake Region of Florida" has been
prosecuted. The second cutting Of the
canal was finished last week, under the
supervision of Mr.. T. H. Sprott, who has
been from the commencement one of the
foremen on the work. At the outlet of
Lake Dora the sand bar had already been
cut to the depth OF nearly or quite three
feet on the previous digging, and was dug
about two feet deeper last week. At q
distance of over four feet below the old
level of Lake Dora moundlwas discover
ed. The first excavations revealed the eX.
istence of clearly defined wall lying in
line tending toward the southwest from
where it was struck This wall was CON-
posed Of a dark brown sand stone, very
much crumbled in places, hut more dis
tinct, more clearly defined, and the stone
more solid as the digging increased in
depth. The wall was evidently the cas-
tern side Of an ancient home or fortifica-
ton, as the slope of the outer wall was to
the west.
About eight feet from the slope of the
eastern wall II mound of sand was struck,
imbodded in the muck formation above
and around it. This sand mound was dug
into only few inches, as the depth of the
water demanded but slight increased
depth of the channel at that point, but
enough was discovered to warrant the
belief that here on the north western shore

of fire, pieces of pottery and utensils made

Concerning Pensions.

No little has been said and printed
lately about paying such enormous sums
for pensions to the wsr-worn veterans wh"
vet remain. When will wealthy tax pay
ers begin to consider the matter In its
true lighlP In 1861 they thought the
union must be saved at any cost, and they
cheered when the farmer left his plow, the
blacksmith his forge, and the carpenter
his bench. What did the wealthy tax payer
then do? Said he would be willing TO
sacrifice anything for the salvation OF the
country even 10 the giving to the army OF
all his first wife's relations, and then staid
at home and loaned his money at exorbi-
tant rates, or secured government con.
tract and trebled the money invested
True, large bounties we're paid to recruits,
but who sacrificed the most those who
went TO the front or those who remained
at homer The soldier has lost his health
or his limb, while the wealthy tax payer
has gained large increase in his wealth,
Those who went to the front had every
thing to lose, while those who staid al
home had everything to gain. Why, then,
should they complain if scanty return is
given to the soldier for his years of suffer-
ing and sacrifice? Who ever knew Of a
disbanded soldier having his taxes abated
or complaining of great sums paid for
pensions. Even though not receiving one
himself he feels willing to help pay taxes
to pension others since he knows some.

fought the battles of their country and

hence be the sense of the word which

that Jerusalem had not witnessed such a

might have been almost impossible while
the multitude expected so confidently that
Jesus would soon proclaim himself their
