"of higher elevation though easier Of &C
cess" The inclosed area is several acres,
and the walls seem to have been built of
earth and stones. 1t certainly formed
sort of citadel for populous city on the
bottoms, there being remains ofwalls across
the lowlands to the Ohio river that Gen.
Harrison estimated to inclose three hundred
acres of land The citadel commanded the
surrounding valley for miles.
There is another fortified hill in Butler
county, about three miles south of Hamil-
ton. The inclosure contains sixteen and 4
half acres. The summit Of the plateau is
about 80 feet above the river level that
now flows half a mile dista1t. The hill
is surrounded by deep ravincs, presenting
almost inaccessible dcclivities, except a
narrow space on the north, which connects
it by more gradual descent with the sur
rounding country. The walls are made of
earth and stones. 7 lere are four gate
ways, each twenty feet wide, one on the
north and the others at points where the
declivity is least abrupt. The peculiar man
ner in which these gateways are protected
bears a close resemblance to some Mexican
and Central American ruins.
At Hopetcn, in Ross county, are mines
that consisted, when discovered of a rec
tanCle and attached circle. The dimen-
sions OF the former were $50 by 900 feet; the
circle was l,050 feet in diameter, and each
contained twenty acres. There were twelve
gateways The walls are gradually being
leveled by the work Of cultivation, but are
still III some places four feet high. From
the point of union Of the reCtangle and cir
Gle two parallel walls extended southwest
for nearly half a mile $50 feet apart, to the
SciotO river.
There is a class of works more evidently
utiIitarian in character and more easily
un erstood by the popular mind. These
are graded ways, ascen ing sometimes from
lowland to plateau, again descending from
Notifications to the rivers They are found
in connection with every extensive inclos-
ure, and several have already been de-
scribed, as those connected with the works
at Marietta, Newark and near Newtown.
But they also occur removed from inclos-
ures or Notifications.
The most remarkable is one about one
mile below Fiketon, .. 1t consists of
graded ascent from the second to the third
terrace of the river. To oyeCCome the per
pendicular ascent Of seventeen feet the
grade was made 1850 feet long. 1t i 2I5
feet wide between the bases of the anhank-
ments formed of the excavated earth, which
vary in Insight from i've feet at the shallow
est cut 70 twenty-five Rt the deepest. This
piece of ancient roadway forms part Of the
turnpike between ChilGcothe and Ports
mouth. Another similar work Is near Rich
mondaIe, in Ross county.

WORKS MAR goPEToE. q.

by twenty miles of embankment. Gen
William Henry Harrison, before his cleo
ton TO the presidency, described the works
at the mouth Of the Great Miami river,
which he estimated to have inclosed four
hundred acres.
The largest mound is that st Cshokia,
Ills. opposite St. Louis. It Is 20 feet in
height and 3.06O yards in circumference at
the base, with a level summit OF several
acres. The great mound al Selserstown,

ground The largest mound II Ohio is
near MiamisburG. Il Is Is feet high and
So feet IN circumference, and is estimated
10 contain $4,000 cubic feet of earth and
stone. In many instances the material
from which they were constructed has been
brought from considerable distances. The
works, in outline. illustrate nearly every

WHAT else may happen, Democratic
party domination is not to take place
Immediately. Even if the Democrats
should carry out the programme of
making Grover Cleveland the President
to succeed Harrison for eight years, or
until the end of the century, he would
find himself constantly confronted by
Republican Senate. Perhaps there is
sense in which this might be a good
thing for the Democracy-af -affording
them an excuse for not pushing policy,
as they want to hold Office and have no
other aspiration, save to make money
out of contracts, and to be on the-inside,
where the "pulls" are most profitable.
The Republican Senate may serve them
as a sort of shelter-house. They are the
professors of the constitution and the
nullifiers of its most recent and import
ant provisions. When it is before the
world that the General Government has
not the ability to enforce its own consti-
tuition or defend it's own citizens in the
assertion of their electoral rights, the
Democracy believing about central
tyranny and the horrors of Federal
usurpation; and many of them seem to
be such fools as to take themselves in
this seriouSly.-Murat HdlsteGd.

BLAINE ON FREE SUGAR.

Cleveland Leader.
The letter from Secretary Blaine to
Senator Frye, on the subject of free
sugar, adds very important element to
the discussion of the tariff bill, and
somewhat changes the aspect of the
question. The Mckinley bill places
sugar on the free list substituting a
bounty to manufacturers of that article
for the present protective duties. Mr..
Blaine informs Mr.. Frye that he has
"just received intelligence from the
highest commercial authority in Havana
that American flour, under the new
duties imposed by Spain, cannot reach
the Cuban market under cost of $11.4O
per barrel, counting the shipping price
in New York at $3.50 per barrel"
Other articles of American growth, he
says, "are likewise taxed by Spain to
the point of prohibition"
AS Secretary of State Mr.. Blaine is in
a position to receive the first intelli-
gence concerning proposed Legislative
changes of other nations, and it was his
duty to send this note of warning to a
member of the Senate, and it will be the
duty of the Senate to give the matter its
most careful consideration. One great
aim of this administration has been tc
bring the nations of this continent
more closely together. The obliteratior

Protection for Labor Only.

In the house of representatives, May
81, Congressman Niedringhaus, of Mis-
souri,, said:
''Mr. Chairman, as we are about to
vote upon this bill, wish to draw at
tention to a statement made by my col
league from Missouri Mr.. Blandl on
Saturday last wherein he proposes that
under the rules my vote as representa-
tive may be challenged, being directly
interested in Protection. Now let me
state that l am not interested in this bill
personally. could today lock up my
factory in the United States, go to Ger
many, where 1 could hire three men for
one here who would work 20 per cent.
more time. could there manufacture
my goods, import and pay the duties
imposed under the Mckinley bill, and
make % per cent. more than can make
by manufacturing in the United States.
lApplause.j This only verifes my state
ment made at the outset of this dis
cussion to the effect that the manufac-
turers do not ask for Protection except
for labor, and that only on the strength
of protecting a scale of wages at least
three times higher than that of Germany
can be maintained"

THE Western Christian Adoocate, in a
single paragraph states the object and
effect of the National election bill as
follows. Columns of comment could
not make it clearer:
"The Federal election bill has passed
the House, and will probably experience
less opposition in the Senate. 1t applies
to Congressional elections, and equally
to every State in the Union. 1t will be
enforced only in the districts where a
hundred voters call for it, and it is GER
tain that is will not be called for where
there is a reasonable prospect that every
voter may cast one ballot and have the
ballot counted as he cast it,"

Labor the Source of Wealth.

Labor is the source Of wealth. No
other means of producing wealth have
ever been or ever will be found. It must
be wrung from the soil by patient toll;
it must l. brought up from mines deep
in the earth by the labor Of man; 1t must
be coined from the forest by the
axman and the millman; it must be
wrought out from the raw materials by
the skill, the patience and the labor OF
human operatives. The curse OF this and
all other communities today is that so
many persons are trying to escape this
heaven ordained law and to secure
something for nothing-wealth without
labor of their own.-Senator Dolph.
