The ~well-known philanthropist, Mrs.
Elizabeth Thompson, who gives her entire
income, which is very large, to various
enterprises for the benefit OF humanity,
retaining for herself only enough to meet
the simple nerds of her quiet home life,
writes me as follows, and I think the words
so golden that ! wish every woman in
America would heed them. VIII not those
OF our readers who agree with me in this
be at the pains to clip out the paragraph,
aud secure its insertion in the local papers
of their variou towns and cities, with the
explanatory statement herein made? Com
ing from such n source, these words have
peculiar weight, for Mrs. Thompson is one
Hho lives her belief, and knows its blessed
ness by every day experience 81 wish the
women of the world would call on the men
to give up this wild, nngovernable chase
for more money, and the women govern
themselves accordingly. Who is the hap
pier for such extravaganza in dress, furni-
turc, useless decorations, grand equipages,
etc? Are they not more or less procured
AT the expense of the moral and spiritual
nature? What is there that many men,
and women too, will not sacrifice for a
lew dollars more to be spent for that which
cnriches them not, but makes them poor
indeed Are they wiser, better, or in any
way happier for having gained this sur
plus sum? In my experience have found
more health, more contentment, more
kindly feeling among the better laboring
class, han | have ever seen among that
class who make money merely for the sake
OF display. There is more truth than poet
ry in the saying that ''enough is as good
as a feast" Few realize the true signif-
canoe of Industry and economy. But
why do | talk? | am so weary Of words,
words, words, and yet some good may
come of words. Are not all great and
good things simple? And might it not be
well for more people TO set the example OF
a simple aud well-ordercd life, that the
young might not BE- tempted into such
extravaganza as is now the bane of life ?'
Yours for plain living and high thinking.

No extreme measures have been proposed.
Extreme measures could not possibly be
carried. Both sides are pledged to some
reimbursement. Clearly the tariff is not a
vital issue.
Then again the ~R3pabliean candidate
is this year unexceptionable in every way,
of unimpeaehable probity and excellent
ability. The Democratic candidate las
been in the eye OF the public four years,
and he impresses me asa very capable man
who is honestly trying to do his dnty in
the midst Of great difficulties. What vast
peril is possible to the country by the cleo
ton OF either? Bat what tremendous
gain will come to the clnse Of temperance
if the politicians are made to see that a
vast body Of voters count prohibition OF
the saloon the transcendant issue in Amer
lean politics and are determined to have it
settled.
For these reasons it seems TO me this
is the best Of years for Republicans and
Democrats who believe in prohibition to
voice that conviction at the polls"

Il paper. calling itself The 8eW YORK.
Democrat, and pretending to be a Demo
cratic paper, has been started in New York
city in the interests Of the Republican
party. 1t is talking about our allies, the
Prohibitionists," and urging Democrats to
''aid the Foic8 with their money and inilu-
ence," and Republican papers are quoting
this advice as coming from a Democratic
sheet. The National Democratic Commit
tee has sent ont a circular repudiating the
paper. A reporter of Tile World, represent
ing himself as a Republican about to go on
the road, called on the editor of the paper
last week, and the editor, in the course
of the interview, said

what we want, as it causes a controversy.

At the American Temperance Unions
meeting in Chickering Hall, New York,
last Sunday afternoon Mrs. Mary a. Liver
more, of Boston, told why she had for
saken the Republican party and joined the
Prohibitionists. The hall was completely
filed with people, who applauded the
speakers sentiments and earneStneSs, and
laughed at her breezy characterizations.
In the course OF her address Mrs. Liver
more said
81 never forget to love what | have once
loved, and I left the Republican party as
left kindred and friends when | separated
from the church into which | was baptized
and joined another communion because |
couldn't accept It's doctrines. / had friends
who told me that the reforms wanted
would come in time, and advised me not
to hurry, but to hold on | have great
capacity for holding on, and I held on with
nails and cyelids, hoping for better things
that never came. II the Republican party
will do no more than the Democrats to lift
the country from the slough OF drunken
ness why should | remain by it? They
tell us that we of the third party are try
ing to break up the Republican party. 1t
is not 50, we are trying to break up the
saloon. But if anybody or anything in
sists on getting between the saloon and the
blows we are dealing it, who is to blame?
| DO not forget the records of the two great
parties, but the Democrats who brought
the war upon us have passed away, as
have the Republicans who opposed them.
Two-thirds of the party are good men, but
the remaining one-thind leads them right
around by the nose. In Massachusetts, so
many rich men have become Mugwumps
or gone over TO the Democrats that the Re
pubiieans are forced to make one ssions
to the liquor dealers in order to get money
for campaign purposes. The party boasts
of giving prohibition to some of the back
towns, but the truth is, the modern Re-
publican ideas have never reached those
places, aud therefore there was no posi-
bility that they could become license
towns"
In summing up, Mrs. Livermore said
there seemed to be nothing else to do but
to Join the Prohibition party. y friend
brought to Mrs. Liyermore's attention a
campaign document issued by the Isapub-
lican Woman's National Committee, an
organization whose duty it is, among other
things, to prevent temperance men from
leaving the Republican party. The back
of the paper was stamped, "With the com
pliments OF Mary A. Liyermore.' She
pronounced the signature San arrant for
gerry, and said she had sent ont no such
document

This is the title of the latest, and by all
odds the most charming book for little
people we have ever seen. Its fables, or
stories, are delightful, but the ~illustra-
ions are simply immense.
The author, Palmer Cox, is a new star
in the juvenile armament, but he shines
with unique brilliancy. His charming ia
bles rival those of the world famed -Esop,
and he far outshines that celebrated liter
airy comet by his inimitable illustrations.
He dresses up his birds, animals, insects,
giants, fairies, COLLINS, ETC., in grotesque
style and makes them reason, talk, dance,
and cut up all sorts Of the oldest pranks
imaginable, aifording infinite delight, as
well as excellent instruction to the young.
The issue of his book "Queer People" has
brought a perfect ovation of praise from
the brightest men in the land. For in
stance, Gen. Clinton b. Fisk says: sit
has set my children wild with delight, y
and Col. Russell II. Conwell, the famous
lecturer, says: Don't send me another
such a book, for | can't get my children to
bed"
The famous statesman. diplomat, and
wit, Sunset Cox, says, "The Kweer Kapers
are simply Incompatible" while the dis
tinguisled t%heologian, DR.. Howard Crosby
says; they have the fascination that be-
longs to Hsop and Uncle Remus," aud the
venerable poet, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
writes Il am sorry | have not a nursery
full of little folks to enjoy its bright pic
lures and stories"
Ksop's fables are enjoyed by old and
young and are quoted by the greatest ora
tors and surely these equally charming
stories, so profusely and exquisitely illus
trated, will charm young and old for gen
erations to come.
The sale of this book will surely be
enormous. 1t is published by the we'll
known house of Hubbard Bros, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and Kansas City, to whom
any persons desiring an agency may apply.

Concerning the mob violence which has
met Prohibitionists in Indiana, and also in
Nebraska aud Illinois, though to a less
degree, the Chicago Daily Neaos says ''The
Prohibition party is peculiarly fortunate in
this campaign. The efficiency of many OF
it's orators has been testified to in a most
emphatic manner. The throwing ofstones
and other missiles at Prohibitionists by
adherents of the two old parties, is al un-
falling sign that the Third party is making
converts, and a great many of them. If,
as partisan newspapers are loud OF declar.
ing, the Prohibition party is rapidly falling
to pieces, what do the frequent assaults on
its speakers mean? Men who accomplish
nothing are generally ignored by their
enemies. 1t is only when their arguments
begin to thin the ranks Of he opposition
that the war against them grows bitter

An Ancient City discovered.

A dispatch from FL Paso, Texas, to
to the st Louis Globe Democrat saya
that on large ranch in Northwestern
Chihuahua, belonging TO Senator
Hearst, of California, and Mr.. Follan
bee, of 81 Paso, have been found the
remains of an ancient city, hewn and
carved out of solid rock. It. lies, In
the fastness of the Sierra Madres, and
the approach tot is difficult. There
is no tradition existing regarding the
city anywhere, but the remains show
that the inhabitants Of this prehistoric
place were at least partly civilized.
There are hundreds of rooms exravat
ed 10 the solid rock on the hillside,
and the stone taken therefram is used
for buildings and walls outside. There
are different tiers;of rooms and stair
waya cut in the rock, leading from one
to the other. In many places the rock
is finely chiseled and polished.
