Lima Letter to the Chicago inter Ocean.
No man can see Peru without wondering at
the grandeur, the industry, and the intelli-
gence of the Inca empire. They had arts
which the world has forgotten; knowledge
which the world never knew; thrift which
their conquerOrs could never initiate, and
wealth which made them the prey of every
adVenturer of the sixteenth century. Their
temples and palaces were built OF heWn stone
from quarries that the Spaniards have not
been able to discover, and the means by which
they lifted blocks Of granite weighing hun
dreds of tons is problem no antiquarian has
been able to solve.
They knew how to harden copper until it
had an edge as keen and enduring as the
finest of modern steel; they made ornaments
OF gold and silver and cut jewels "a s1lllfuiiy
as the lapIdaries OF to-day, and their fabrics
OF wooden ana cotton are spun and woven as
smoothly as modern looms can make. They
surpassed modern civilization in many things
ana had a system of government under which
millions of people lived and labored as single
family, with everything in common, knowing
all arts but those Of war and WOrshiping a
deity whose attributes were almost parallel
to those of the Christian Goa.
Hemmed in on one side by the impossible
SHOWS OF the Andes and on the other by a
desert, lifted above the rest of a world I'M
peaceful and calm as the Andean stars, they
established a system Of civilization III which,
for the first time since creation, the equal
rights of every human being We're recognized
sanity against their desOlute coast was rCCOg-
nized by them as symbol of the infinite, the
omnlpotcnce, whose force and majesty their
simple logic could not comprehend, while the
sun. whose heat and light made existence pos
s. Bile. was recognized as the source of all good.
Hence these two elements, the sun ana the
ocean, were personifed and were the objects
of the InCaS' worship.

The Norwegian bark Erbin was at the

every preparation had been made for tax
ing care Of her at Sapelo, the national
quarantine station, place of compare
tive safety? The public was led to be-
lieye from the first report that as soon as
the Erbin entered st. Simon's sound she
was at once ordered to Sapelo. There was
not a word about ballast being dis
charged.
For weeks il was known that the Erbin
was bound to Brunswick from Valencia.
Spain, where the cholera has been raging
for some time. The United States revenue
cutter on this station was ordered TO look
out for her, the officers of the Marine Hos
pital Service had their instructions with
regard to her, and the local authorities
were warned. Notwithstanding all these
precautions thevessel entered Brunswick
harbOr and discharged ballast. Does not
this look as If there was something want
ing somewhere to afford sufficient pro-
lection against the introduction of cholera
into this country Where does the blame
rest for permitting the Erbin to discharge
ballast at Brunswick 9u0rantineS Can
the Brunswick authorities answer?
1t is true that there may be no danger
from the Erbin. The sand that was
brought from a cholera-lnfected district
may contain no germs Of disease, and the
clothing of the sailors may hold no infec-
ton. The vessel has been absent from
Valencia many days, and no sickness has

The President Not Responsible

r rom me [ ltftboLtC EarA3Ntftef-
Some of our contemporaries are paying a
good deal Of attention TO Miss Cleveland'5 book
and few so so far as to attempt to make po-
htlCai capital out of it, ana to hold the Pre-l-
dent responsible for some of the sentiments
contained in it.
This Is not wise nor fair. Mr.. Cleveland
mas hrs faults and his virtues. He Is not Il re-
nglOus- minded man, and il is said by those
who ought to know that, If it were not for the
sake Of appearance. he would spend his sun
day mornings in the White House playing
plnoehle and sampling d certain brand OF
spirits OF which he is practical adlnirer and a
fair consumer. rather than in Worshiping at
the feet OF DR.. Sunderland IN his Presbyterian
church.
MIR. Cleveland is not Q SAINT and he Is not a
bigOt. He knows good deal about politics
IN the present age, but THAI lie knows or cares
anything about "MonachIem in tie middle
ages OF which his sister writes 30 absurdly,
VIC very much question. lie IS not that kind
Of a man.
Miss Cleveland did not consult her brother
when she wrote her essays. Her effort on
prOhib ton furnishes conclusive evidence on
that point. II she had sought his counsel he
would probably have advised her not to write
them. But she did write them, and as the
press of the country has contributed more
advertising space to 1t than fortune could
buy for any other purpose, the book viii have
a very large sale.
Over 100000 copies Of the book have been
sold already. 1t will be read, talked about.
laughed at, and IN year forgotten. But
whatever comes OF it, responsibility for it
cannot and ought not be fastened on the
President. He has enough to answer for.

The Local Option Bill.

The impression is that the general local
option bill will be passed in some shape
1t is evident, however, from the number
of amendments already offered and the
disposition to discuss the bill that 1t Will
not be disposed of finally at very early
day.
1t has been stated that the Liquor Deal
ers' Association, now in session at At
lants, is not hostile to local option law,
but it may be that there are features OF
the present local option bin to which It
/ objects. Its wishes doubtless will be made
/ known, if they have not been already, in
! the shape Of amendments.
( The association ia undoubtedly wise il
not opposing the bill. They might be able
TO defeat il if they were to 80 10 work Wig
orously to accomplish that object, but
would its defeat benefit them in any re-
spectF
II the legislature should fail 10 pass a
general local option bill IT is extremely
probable that the next Legislature
would pass a prohibitory law. The
reason FOR this probability is that
the temperance sentiment OF the State,
which IS already very strong,
is gradually growing stronger. 1t viii
not be long, therefore before the temper
ance people win be in n position to de-
mand what they want. When they feel
that they can dictate their terms it is not
reasonable 10 suppose that they will be
satisfied with anything short Of prohibi-
ton.
1t is plain, therefore, that the course for
the Liquor Dealers Association TO pur-
sue is 10 accept general local option
law with such notifications as itcan get.
There are a few counties that will not
vote to restrict or prohibit the traffic in
Intoxicating liquors, but if the general
local option law is defeated it is pretty
certain that the next Legislature will be
elected to pass a prohibitory law, and the
whole State win be under the control OF
the temperance people.
From a temperance standpoint gen
eral local option law is better than
prohibitory law, for the reason that it has
public sentiment back of it,wherever it is
adopted, 10 enforce it. If the Legislature
should enact local option law it would
require majority OF the people OF any
town, county or district to adopt
it, and this majority would be
strong enough TO enforce II strictly.
A prohibitory law would, Of course,
reach every part OF the State, but it would
not be very effective in the parts where
the anti-temperances sentiment was in the
ascendancy, and failure to enforce it in
any locality would have a tendency to
create a feeling Of Indifference with re-
gard to il In other localities.
The testimony is that the temperance
cause has made more progress in States
which have adopted local option than in
those which have adopted prohibition.
The reason is that laws, whether they
deal with the liquor traffic or any other
matter, cannot be effectively executed
if they are not favored by the majority Of
the people.
