1t is understood that General
Harrison has said that all commits
stoned officers shall hold to the end
of their term. So it is unnecessary
for our Republican friends to be in
a hurry with their PETITIONS.

Rhode Island has at last abolished

An amendment to the constitution
to that effect has been adopted.

The fact of the Prohibition
Amendment having been beaten by
so large a majority in this State. is
only to be satisfactorily accounted
for on the supposition that the peo-
pie of West Virginia are perfectly
satisfied with the local option law
that they now have. We in com
mon with many others were of the
opinion that the Amendment would
not carry for the above reason, but
we think that even the most san
guine of its opponents had no idea
that the majority for its rejection
would be from thirty to forty thous-
and. We presume that this will
settle the Prohibition question in
this State for a few years, at least,
as State issue. After all, is it not
as well to let every county decide
the matter for itself This appears
to be the meaning of the verdict of
the people at the polls.

Will there be q street fight be-
tween Senator Blackburn and Judge
Rucker, the two fiery sons of Ken
lucky, who have been saying some
very hard things about each other
in the newspapers Neither of
them is here, but both of them have
engaged rooms at the same hotel,
and are expected in few days.
Those who, know both men are con
fidently predicting fight between
them the first time they meet, Sen
ator Blackburn having put it out of
the power of Judge Rucker to de-
mand satisfaction under the code.
The hotels here are beginning to
fill up with Congressman and others
interested in the coming session.
The Republican leaders are extreme
ly reticent when asked shout their
programme in. the Senate: But it
is considered certain they will en-
deavor to do as little as possible, SO
as to give Harrison an excuse, for
calling an extra session.

AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION
SITE OF A PREHISTORIC CITY IN
NORTHERN MEXICO.

Discovery of the Abode of the Ancient
King of All the nTontezumas-A City OF
Solid Masonry In the Recesses of the
sierre nfaIres.
Ell FAso, Tex, April 26.-Surveyors
who are examining the route proposed
for q railroad from Deming, in New Mex
leo, to Janos, in the state of Chihuahua,
and from there to some point on the Pa
cifc coast, have gone. already as far as
the old Spanish preside of Janos, which
is in the midst Of the wild Sierra Madre
of Mexico, one of the least known dis
tricts of North America, but evidently
the seat of an ancient civilization Of
which no authentic record has come
down to the present day. In a canyon
which was passed through by the sur
veying party, q succession of dwellings
were encountered stretching along for
miles, and being built up in terrace form,
ON above h other, with solid masonry
unlike the crude and pigmy- like cliff
jewellers of Arizona and New Mexico.
These dwellings, had more the appear
ance of regular streets, being built
above each other on the shelving decliy-
ity of the canyon, and being difficult of
access, as If for purposes OF defense
against powerful enemies. Most of the
buildings have their front walls con-
structed of hewn stones carefully ce-
mented, while the rear portions are built
into the sides of the canyon. All of
these ruins are in q remarkable state of
preservation, SO much SO that they de-
serve more the name of abandoned
dwellings than of ruins.
After this canyon Is passed and the
open country reached, an isolated mount
ain of symmetrical proportions is reached,
on the summitSof which the ruins OF a
gigantic stone structure are encountered, |
the appearance of which indicates that 1t
was either q temple or the palace ORA
king. A portion of these ruins con-
sist OF a very hard concrete. At the |
foot of this mountain are substan-
italy constructed terrace6 structures, I
plainly showing the existence il
