The women?" l asked, staring at

there In that front room?"

Indian Sacred Buildings.

The rock-hewn temples of Elephan-
Ia, in Bombay harbor, which were
visited recently by the king and
queen, numbered six, and four of them
are nearly complete. They date from
the eighth century A. D. or somewhat
later. The Great Cave, $50 feet above
h%igh-water mark, belongs to a class
of sacred buildings very common In
India. 1t is a silva temple, fully 1870
feet long. the main body being a
square of about 80 feet, hewn from
the rock so as to present three open
sides, and supported by six rows OF
stone columns.

The recent death of a pioneer who
had for a long time been at the verge
of death with no will made until very
recently, brings to mind the utter
folly OF anyone leaving business so
important until stricken with disease
and death. The last few years have
seen several goodly sums saved up in
lifetime by members of the race,
dissipated by the courts and lawyers.
Then, again, several have been stolen
outright because the Negroes trusted
all their papers and business to some
white person, with no records, or evi-
dence left for their relatives to be
protected by. The friends of persons
who are so afflicted with the fear of
their own kin and kind and who have
such sublime faith in the other race,
should do something to put an end to
the conditions which now exist.

The consideration of the liquor
question in Colorado brings out oppos-
ing opinions that are vigorous far be-
yond those generally expressed on the
purely political questions. 1t is ex-
ceedingly difficult for this one ques-
ton, which is so largely moral, to be
considered with the same calm rea-
son that tarih, or trusts, or money is
considered
Amid the many arguments ad-
vanced for statewide prohibition, we
have looked in vain for one that con-
vinces that it can be enforced. To
our mind that is the whole meat of
the question. A law must have some
reasonable chance of enforcement.
The minds of the people must have
been prepared SO that they will assist
morally in supporting conscientious
officers. The Statesman realizes full
well the good purpose which the citi-
zens of ideal turn oil mind serve in
the commonwealth, but we are equal
ly observant that there must be
others of practical mind.
Unless the prohibition supporters
mean to say that local option as now
practiced in Colorado is too slow, 1t
is not at all clear to us why it does
not offer the solution of this most vex-
ing problem.
