TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
AS Republicans we are asked to adopt prohibi-
ton in our platform. The cold proposition to
prohibit don't accomplish anything. We might
declare for prohibition a thousand times and yet
we would not prohibit. If we ask equity we
must do equity: Our Constitution says: mo
mans property shall be taken by law without
just compensation
l think, then. we had better give the dear peo-
ple' anotherc rchance-the only way prohibition will
ever stick under the Constitution of Indiana
and to that end submit the following as the sew
enteenth amendment to the Constitution:
Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State of
Indiana That the following proposition be and the

ZIONIST, if you consistent, and let's prohibit

10 tne Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Inc published report of Col. John W. Ray,
receiver, just made suggests to one of the un-
fortunate remark or two thereon. On the
2Sth of February. 1882, there had been diyi-
dends paid amounting to $lOO. .9S3. 80. This is
mentioned here only to fix date. That is
nearly four years ago. The statement is now
made that the present assets are believed to be
worth $32 264 81, nearly all in real estate. The
balance due depositors is stated to be $S4, 15607
How much longer is Colonel Ray going to hold
these assets tied upe How much longer will the
court permit him to do it? sThe rents from the
improved property pay taxes, insurance and
repairs" land receivers fees. probably.l Just
so. This is significant "The receiver states
tnat 1t is impossible to file final report until
all the assets are converted into cash, and the
proceeds distributed" We all understand that;
but the court should peremptorily order the the
receyert to advertise that. upon thirty days notice.
he Will appear upon the courthouse steps and
sell to the highest bidder every vestigs that
remains, for cash, make distribution and final
report within forty days. There ought to be an

for his board and no more. His Imprisonment
keeps him out of mischief and rids society of his
presence, and this in itself is great benefit to
the community. The prisoner is also benefited
by abstention from drink and being placed for a

The fancy-dress ball given by the Mannerchor
Society, at their hall. last evening, was very
largely attended, and was highly enjoyable
social event Many of the costumes were of
original and novel style. and there was sufi-
cient variety to make the affair of more than
usual interest to the spectators. Several of the
costumes represented theatrical characters
which have recently become familiar to the pub
lie. and the limitations were so striking that
they excited special attention Among
these were ''Old Sport" "Venus.
and "Jack o. Diamonds" The crowd
was as large as the dancing hall
could accommodate, and the number of persons
present as spectators was quite largo. Supper
was served in the society's dining hall at II
o'clock. The crowd did not begin to diminish
perceptibly until after l o'clock, and it was well
along into the morning before the merriment
was brought to end by the breaking up of
the dancing party.
