The meeting of citizens at Willard Hall Inst

The meeting Of citizens at Willard Hall Inst
night to discuss WAYS and means Of securing
the G. A. r. eneampment for 90 for Washing
ton showed spiri. which presages success.
Washington is beyond all dispute the most in
teresting place in the country for such a gather
ing, and when there is added to that a spirit Of
generosity on the part of her citizens to con-
tribute good hard cash or its equivalent
toward making the veterans comfortable and
providing all kinds Of agreeable advertisements
for them the hardest part Of the fight is over.
Every citizen of Washington and the District
and most of those living within radius Of a
hundred miles of the city will be benefited by
such a meeting. and they should all combine in
the effort to successfully present the claims Of
the national capital before the encampment in
Detroit next August. 1t is scarcely necessary
to represent here the general claims Washing
ton makes; the delegations from the posts in
this city know them ell in every detail and its
members will be amply able to present them
there. But the delegation must be backed by
sound propositions of material assistance COM
ing from the business men OF the city, and with
those in liberal form it should carry Washing
ton through by reclamation. And it will.

An Ancient Race.

OF the builders of ancient mounds and
other remarkable earthworks found in this
country we have no real knowledge, but
popular belief and scientific theory alike
attribute these works to a race preceding
the American Indian. Even the Indians
themselves appeared to regard them as the
work of some very ancient people. The
relics of carved stone, elegantly formed
pottery and bronze, silver and copper or
naments found in explored mounds indi-
cate a skill and degree of civilization not
found among the Indians by the first white
settlers of the country. The Inter-Ocean
quotes writer on this subject to the effect
that the monuments left by the mound
builders indicate that the ancient popula-
ton was numerous and widely spread as
shown from the number and magnitude of
their works, and the extensive range OF
their occurrence; that it was essentially
homogeneous in customs, habits, religion
and government as appears from the great
uniformity which the works display, not
only in respect to position and form, but in
all minor particulars; and that the feat
ures common to all the remains identity
them as appertaining to a single grand sys-
TEN, owing its origin to family of men
moving in the same general direction, act
ing under common impulses and influenced
by similar causes" Archeologists find in
the mounds evidence of a very different
state of society from that among the In
dians. The Indians were nomadic race,
subsisting by hunting; the mound builders
were apparently an agricultural people.
Many of the mounds seem to have been
erected as military works; these would
only have been needed by an agricultural
people.
