CHOLULA PYRAMID.

The pyramid of Choiula is one of the
wonders of Mexico. The date of its
building is unknown. 1t was there be-

that it had been built by a race Of giants

The pyramid has the appearance of a
natural hill. as its sides are overgrown
with trees and bushes, which is but an
evidence of Its great antiquity. as its in
terror is composed of alternate layers of
sun-dried brick, clay and limestone The
height is III feet above the plain. The
four sides face the cardinal points and
are laid in terraces that now are over
grown with flowers and shrubs. The base
lines are more than a thousand feet on
each side or twice as long as the great
Cheops, or, to give better idea of it's
size, is to say that it covers twenty acres

THE LITTLE BURRo.
He Is ma Humble But Real Competi-
tor of the Railroads.
iFrom Modern Mexico1


At many points in Mexico, the patient
little burros still figure as successful
competitors of the railroad. Not only
for short distances do they underbid the
iron horse. but the burro train that
gathers its living from the roadside and
Is directed by cheap Mexican drivers will
ofttimes transport goods 80 or 100 miles
cheaper than its fast rival. At first
glance the possibility of such conditions
would seem to be an argument against
railroad building in Mexico while in fact
the reverse is usually true. II frequently
happens that the point where freight
originates or its ultimate destination is
not reached directly by railroad. II at
either end of the journey a portion OF
the route must be covered BY burros. all
the freight must necessarily BE- packed In
comparatively small parcels. The price
for 'short haul with burros is com
paratively high, Just as 1t is with any
other form of transportation Thus il IS
that with ores and other classes of non
perishable freight packed and loaded on
burros the little beasts win take II the
entire journey cheaper than IL can be
transferred and continue to its destina-
tion by rail. Burro competition is only
formidable for the railroads In excep-
tional instances and gradually the carry
ing trade that does stick TO this ancient
method is being absorbed by the rail-
ways, as spurs and branches bring each
year larger and larger areas in close
touch with the main lines.

'BUssEs RUN TO THE GATES
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-11-11

Mr.. Croker. the Tammany boss, is quite
generally blamed by the Democratic papers
of New York city for the defeat of the
Democratic state ticket in New York. The
point they make is that If Mr.. Croker had
not refused to permit Judge DAILY to be re-
nominated there would have been much
less opposition to the Democratic ticket
Mr.. Croker, il will be remembered, turned
down" Judge DAILY because he would not
permit Tammany to dictate the appoint
ments which belong to the judicial posi-
ton which he held.
There is no reason to doubt that Mr..
Cookers action had the effect of creating
a very considerable sentiment against the
Democratic ticket that would not have
otherwise existed. Particularly was this
the case among the lawyers in all parts
of the state. The cry was raised that the
attempt of Mr.. Croker to discipline Judge
DAILY was an attack on the judges, and
that If ii were not promptly rebuked there
would be danger of the judges becoming
mere tools of political bosses. That sort of
talk had good deal of influence. 1t Great
ed a desire TO rebuke Mr.. Croker. Those
Democrats who had that desire voted
against the Democratic ticket That Mr..
Croker made a mistake in taking the
course he did in the DAILY matter will be
very generally admitted and the mistake
may have caused the defeat of the Demo-
cratic ticket, as claimed by some of the
Democratic papers.
The people are much opposed to any at
tempt to control the judges not only in
New York, but in all other parts of the
country. Everywhere the effort is to keep
the judges out of politics to as great an
extent as possible. 1t is not 10 be wondered
at, therefore, that even Mr.. Croker's point
zeal friends think that he is largely re-
sponsible for the defeat of the Democratic
ticket in New York.

SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW vIoLAToRs

ExMayor McDonough is undoubtedly
right when he says that the saloon keep
ers are their own worst enemy. If they
made for the regulation of the liquor traf-
fic there wouldn't be half the feeling
against their business there is. But in per
sieting in violating the laws, particularly
the law against selling intoxicants on Sun
day. they create a bitter feeling against
themselves which shows itself in constant
demands for more vigorous enforcement
Of the laws for controlling the liquor traf-
fic and in the continual pressure in the
legislature for a general prohibition law.
A general prohibition law may not be
enacted at the present session of the leg
isSature, but it is pretty certain that there
viii be a law of that kind before very
long. The prohibitionists are growing
stronger in the state every year, and just
as soon as they feel they have the power
they win legislate in accordance with their
views on the liquor question.
And If we have a general prohibition law
ia this state The saloon keepers will be re-
sponsible for it. They are increasing the
number of the enemies of the liquor traf-
flc by their disregard of the laws regulat-
ing the traffic. The Prohlplhonists will take
the position that if the saloon win not
submit to having the traffic regulated there
shall be no such traffic.
Every once in while the Prohibitionists
capture a county. Very soon they will
have pretty near all of the counties, and
they viii have them in such a way that
they win be able to enforce a general pro-
hibition law when they get ready to enact
it. If the saloon men know what is best
for their interests they viii not encourage
the growth of the prohibition sentiment by
violating the laws for the regulation OF
the liquor traffic. On the contrary they
Will endeavor to comply with these laws.
