Editor Stone of the CdlCdOnidn is print
ing in his paper some interesting letters
describing his recent tour in New Mexico
and Old Mexico. The best people he
met in that region appear to have been
the Pueblo Indians OF whom he says
The visit to this village Of the Pueblos
left the impression of Il clean, peaceable,
industrious people, with scarcely Il char
acteristc of the ideal Indian.
OF the MeXicans he says;
The people generally are poor, dirty and
live in squalor, although they look the
pictures OF health. As the lower classes
live on kind Of corn bread and sort of
beans and scarcely ever taste meat, one Is
forced to the consusion that the richness
and the variety of the food used by the
ordinary American is not conducive to
health.
A scene in Mexican town which takes
its name from some hot springs near it, is
thus described;
The one peculiar feature Of Aguas Cali
entes is its public bath or wash tub This
is Il canal Of stone or cement about three
feet wide and two feet deep, conveying
large brook of this warm water to the
town, This canal runs alongside shady
street the whole distance, and is well
filled with water which runs with good
current. During the middle of the day it
is lined with the common and poorer peo-
pie for its entire length. Here woman
Is seen kneeling down on the ground by
the side of this running stream doing the
family washing. This is done by dipping
water out of the canal with her hands
upon the clothes and then rubbing them
on flat stone which is placed on "a slight
incline. The next may be family group,
with the mother occupied rs the last,
while the father and younger children are
bathing in the canal. Very likely the
youngest baby is placed in a large basket
near by for security, with piece of sugar
cane to chew. Farther on two large girls
are bathing in the stream, or a mother
and daughter; while close by them is a
man seated flat in the ditch and directly
| behind is woman, presumably his wife,
scrubbing his back At least one of this
couple seems to enjoy the operation. This
is the story repeated a hundred times in
this mile, while at the head of the canal
is II large pond filled with swimmers as
well AS washers. Did hear some reader

AMONG THE SENATOR'S.
Blair and his Liquor Bill Van Wyck on
the Labor Question.

WASHINGTON, April 26-The truths
upon which Blair relied in the discussion
of his proposed constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the sale and man
ufacture of alcoholic liquor as a
beverage, were he said set forth
in the following propositions That
it was the duty of society through
the agency of the government, to
enact and enforce all laws which while
protecting individuals in the enjoyment of
their inallenable rights would tend to pro-
mote general welfare. Whenever that well
fard was impaired or threatened by any
existing or impending evil, it was the
duty of society to enact and enforce laws to
restrict or destroy that evil. No law could
promote general welfare that deprived an
individual Of an alienable right when that
right was properly defined, but society had
inalienable rights as well as individuals.
While society had no right to prevent or
restrict the use of an article by an indi-
vidual for beneficial purposes only, yet if
that use was found by experience to be
naturally and inevitably injurious to
Others and upon society in general, it be-
comes duty TO promote general welfare
and restrict the use of that article lust as
an individual might DEFEND his natural
life. Blair said the movement for. a local
option amendment to the State c6nstitu-
ton was Of great Importance as means
of creating an enlightened public opinion
in States but nothing short of movement
based on a national idea presented clear
prospect of complete success. 1t was time
that prohibition assume control of the
Republican party. That party could not
permanently remain three-fOurths for pro-
hibiton and onefourth against it, That
was less possible than it once was for our
nation to remain one-half slave and one
half free. Ideas never compromised.
At the conclusion of Mr. Blair's speech
the Interstate commerce Dill was present
ed, and Mr., Van Wyck addressed the Sen
ate. He spoke of the conflict between cap
ital and labor and declared that a crisis
was coming If industries were only re-
quired to pay fair dividends on the real
cost of railroads the nation would be pros
porous. The Senate could take example
from Jay Gould. Its committee on educa
ton and labor had industrously obtained
from that worthy complete history of his
to initiate. The committee had trem-
blingly and beseechingly implored him to
give minute account of his daring eX
