OUR LETTER :BOX THE ARGUMENTS OF THE TRAFFIC. To the EdiIoe 1, San Antonia, •Texas, is the seat of several large browePies, and of perhaps three hundred saloons. Reepoctable men undertook to present in a respeetful way arguments for prohibition, at a !main., in 41 public square, the public halls having been refused for the pur- pose. The saloonists gathered, Arid an- swered the • speakers on the spot ‘yith rotten eggs and other missies. A young brewer, Gus Kauffman, assaulted one of the speakers with a brutal physical ar- gement.The speakers were not ellowed to be hea'rd. This is the argument of SUPPRESSION OF SPEECII. 2. Wichita is a town of Kansas in which liquor need to flow freely. When news reached the aeloonists ef that place that a prohibitory law had been passed, they publisded the following card TO ALL 'PROUIBITIONISTs.

If these styles of argument were con- fined to the United States, it might not seem to affect us so notch, but we have the Sarnia dynamite, the threatening letters, and all the rest near home, - Read the following, and note the spoil- ing and the spirit: - License Inspector Clarke a few dive ago received the following letter address. cid to him at Bradford: -You will no doubt think that this may be done for a scare but as we have been around Brad- ford for the last while I want to pet you on your guard. I know the feeling of the people up there, and by what I have heard you are and your teats in a dan- gerous position if you tinker any with Bradford, you no doubt are aware Of two men being down here on 23 July 87 and all hotel men ere on them and we as a party will receive a benefit out of this and if you go any fin•ther with Bradford we will lorave you that you wont be fit for hurrying noty dont 'slight this matter as we shall blow -semi clean out of gods greeil earth if anything °curs I leave yonr intelligent and ing readers to judge as to what should be done with a business that &flee law and order in this way. But they have another ergnment which wellies much better to some, it is this: -Prohibition ia an invasion of personal liberty and constitutional right, tut the interpre. talion which they give "personal liber- ty" is this: Libeety for the traffic. but not for anybody to speak or work against its infamous doings.

DEM.; NEW Eno -In this age of scrib- blers and much travel, when nearly everybody travels, and writes an account of the journey, it is hard to write any- , thing of interest to the general public, but as I do not Intend to attempt ally thing great, but a simple e.coount of yehat 1 htve seen, in plain words. I will trust not to be judged too harshly if I faill below the average of the profes sional scribe. The pert el our journey from Ontario to Chtottgo needs no desoription from me, as the ground has been gone over SO often by others. After leaving Chi- me°, the road runs through the States or Illinois and Iowa, for 200 miles or more,the country being excellent. There being no natural woods, the people ham planted trees in clumps or rows, or for wind breaks in such a way as to give a variety to the scenery that is wantieg in some parts of Ontario, where the woods are left at the rear end of the farms, and the rest of the farm hi com- pletely destitute of trees. Another point that struck me was, that the farmers, though evidently wealthy, have not spent all their epare cash, or mort- gaged their brats, to outdo one another in putting up piles of stone or brick to live in. Them houses are 'seat, but simple, and do not represent half the value of tlio farm they are built on, as some of the Ontario farm houses elb. They are of course not obliged to build such barns as the Ontario farmer:ear°, and the difference in the expense of farm buildings, together with the ad- vantage of a longer season to work in, gives the farmer of Illinois and Iowa a considerable advantage over his Ontario brother: Although I did not notice so Many thistles, yet I saw rag weed and me eye daisy in abundance, and the farmers in thesmeStates are lice alto- gether without Sfrawbacks. At °meta, we waited ten hours to catch a through train. This city is the capital of Nebraska, and is beautifully situated on the banks of the Missouri, and has a population of 100,000, having doubled in the last five or six years, and to judge by the iminense number of fine buildings going up at present, there is still a prospect of a very large increase. The city -hall is a very fine building, as -is also the State house and many others. There is a fine park near the city, in which we spent a pleasant afternoon, and rested ourselves, after te hours on 'th°l.'ur8ltaro1;gli a great part of Nebeaska the , railroad runs along the valleysef the North and South Plarte-TtaWeT,Th7nd not much can be lzreed kf the cliarac. ter of the State' fr m the car windows. At Julesburg the road leave the valley, and wo find ourselves in a ranching region, where the land is rolling, and the soil mostly sand and gravel, as can be seen where the prairie dogs have turned up acres' of it. We saw thOto sands �f these little animals, and a ocr- tain amount of amusement was obtain- ed tryieg to shoot them with revolyere , off the oar platforms, •. Through most of three. States-Wy- :oming, Utah and Nevada --the 'Great American deseht" extent*. This is a far more bopeless and desolate; region than I ever supposed, although I had often heard its worthlosnees spoken of. anti it is also much greater in extent than most people realize. To say it is 1000 miles wide, conveys but a vague idea to the mind. A person needs to travel over it, to get it rightlyeinto his head. To sec nothing but desolate bar- ren hills, strewn with rocks, and white with alkali, and producing nothing but the wretched sago brush and grease wood, and this without . chance from when you get up in the morning till you go to sleep again at night, and the same again the next morning, and all that day, and so -on for 48 hours, is enough to make ono despairofever seeing any more country fit for a white man to live in. As most people know, there is always a Stiff breeze in these weetern States, and it raised the alkali dust in clouds, and we were like millers, although We kept the car windows shut RS 1111101 as possible. What courage those hardy pioneers muet have had, who crossed this desert by the overland route in emigrant waggons, Or prairie schooner, as they are sometimes called, and were weeks and montloi on the way? How many must have died on the way, and no doubt many turned back discouraged. I remember Mark Twain says of these western winds, or " Washoe Zephyrs," that if a man started out in the morn- ing, and did not allow for them, he would fetch up at night several miles to leeward of where he intended to strike. Them are seine cattle to be seen througli this desolate country. along the valleys of the miserable muddy streams, that a thirsty ox could drink as fast as it runs; with hero and there the hovel of a ranehman, but bow either man or beast finds a living is a nis•stery.

',110-eitY is huilt on a number of hills, •-and the Streeta are so steep in places that horse oars would be alixteat an. im• possibility, therefore the cable system is in use on nearly all the streets. A powerful engine is placed in the middle of .the car line, and nosier istehtitiii0d that is a long way ahead of horse or mule power. Much better speed is made, and the stopping and starting can be done much more readily than with horses, The cars run tcr all pcduts of interesit,around the oity, and a melte), takes you to the end of the line. Itla a rare thing to see anybody walking, everybody takes the cars. I suppose the snow in Canadian cities would in- terfere with the 'successful working of the cable system on the street cars, but no doubt a way could be found to over- come this difficulty. The hotels in this city are many, and competition has cut the rates down very fine. There are better dollar a day houses here than in Toronto.- Two hundred miles before we reached here the liotel runners were on board the train distributing cards and circulars andtrying to . induce us to patronize their different houses. On getting on the boat at Oakland we were. beset as by a swarm of bees, and all manner of arguments were used to get us to go with the runners for one hotel Cr an. other. We pioked on the Amerioan Ex- change, but even then were not left at peace, but the representatives of the other hotels persisted in forcing their cards on us and telling us that if we were not satisfied where we were going to give them a call. This is surely western enterprise with a stick in it. The city, however, is noted for the ex- cellence and cheapness of its hotel ac- commodation. There is a company here called the Pacific Transfer Co., an agent of which boards the train before reaching here, and trys to get passen- gers to give up their trunk checks, and he will have them taken to their hotel, without any trouble on their part. He will also tell travellers that no hotel in the city takestheir guests' baggage few of ohaege to the hotel. This is all a fraud, for any hotel in the city is ready and anxious to take trunks right to. your room, free of charge, while, if you listen to the Transfer Co., each trunk will cost 50 cents.

There aro professional Chinese guides to take people thron,gh; and white men also make a living this way., The price is a dollar for each person going. This was too steep for WI, so we took chances and started off without a guide. We did not go far before a young Chinaman said bus "Wantee lookee China town," " See Josee housee," " Heapee lige3 lookee," "One man fifteen centee." We paid him in advance, and followed him till we filially reached the Joss house. I can give no idea of the expense and magnificence of this place. Hundreds of gold gilded idols of every form and size were there. Fruit and.flowers were on the altar as an' offering to the Gods. A fire was burning, in which were spices and scented. Wood from China. Our guide only went with us so far, and then said to us, "Von go lookee, me waitee." His religion did not allow him all over the sacred edifice. It appears that the priests have alitrong holdaan the Chi- nese people yet, to get money enough from them to keep up so many of these costly joss houses in this city. We also *rent where the Chinese gamblers were, and where thousands of them were busily working in their shops. There are industrial ones and idle ones among them, as among ourselveu They play a gambling game with daminoee that we could not understand. At least four or five sets of dominoes are used.

The first intimation Mr Case had of their whereabouts was sent him by Dr Logie, who knew he had hid a pair el horses stolen a short time before, and upon reading the advertisement in last week's Observer came to the conclu- sion that the horses advertised by Mr. Mich were the ones stolen from Exeter. He furnished Mr Case with a paper con- taining the advertisement. The latt ,'. immediately set out for Sombre and claim- ed the horse but could find no trace of the wagon and harness till last Monday, when the wagon was discovered on the bank on the American side, a short dis- tance below Marine city. The harnrsa was not to be found, so he purchased an old set and hitched the remaining hol se to the pole of the demoorat and E barked on his homeward journey,passing through Sarnia, jogging along eastward, Tao day. The horse which died was the more valuable of the two, being valued at about $150, and was considered a first oleos buggy horse. The other was an ordinary farm horse. Says the Goderieh Signal :-Lest week there appeared in the Signal an item stat. 106 that an unknown man had left a team of sorrel horses acd a wagon at the Colborne hotel a couple of weeks ago, and had not returned to take them away. The proprietor of the hotel was envious to have the mystery solved, and after in: effectually trying to find the ow. nee of the horses , and waeon, came to the Signal, so that the facts might be published abroad, An item was inserted in this journal giving the particulars as far es known, and the pub- lication of the facts was successful in un- ravelling the mystery. James Hill is a farmer in the township of Morris, near Sunshine, and last year ho rented his farm and stock to Duncan McMartin for $300 per annum. Besides that, he soli him $100 worth of fall wheat, and some time ago endorsed a note for 142, for his tenant. McMartin always contended that he had an annuity coming 10 10 him, but was not able to pay anything down aud was usually under the necessity of borrowing. A few weeks ago he harn- essed up Hall's sorrel team, with which he had been working the farm, and drove to Gederieh it is believed with the intention of taking them with him on ono of the Beaty boats to the Sault, but by some moans he failed to carry out his design, and decamped, leaving the horses at the Colborne hotel stables. After the publication of the item in the Signal last week, George Love, of Brussels king aware of Hall's loss,informed that gentle. man that his horses and waggon were at Goderich and when the latter examined the item he felt satisfied that such was the case. Monday night last Hall drove to Goderiob, proved property and paid expenses for the keep of the animals, Duncan McMartin has not since been board of, and Hall ie atill ont $300 rent, and the amoent of tbe $12 note he will likely have to pay.
