EXTINCTION OF A PREHISTORIC
RACE.
Popular Science Monthly.

The extinction of the partially civilized
race who once dwelt in the Rocky Noun
tain region was probably the result OF
some great geological change. The
country is naturally arid, but doubtless,
when this nearly.forgotten people dwelr
here in the numerous cities whose ruins
are still to be seen, the conditions of life
were more favorable. The annals ofthis
interesting race have perished with them
and the history Of their downfall is now
matter for conjecture. Mr.. f. S, Dellen-
bargh, of the Buffalo Society of Natural
Sciences, described as follows the course
ofevents which resulted in the extinction
of the the Shinumos When the change
occurred, "the inhabitants, not under
standing the science of irrigation, behold
their crops, slowly butsurely failing every
year. The inevitable result was famine
BY this their hardy constitutions were
weakened, and the way was prepared for
some great epidemic that swept away
thousands, and left them in melancholy
condition. Then the epidemic was, pos
sibly, soon followed by the appearance of
the Indian, so entirely different from the
Shinumo. He was forocious, treacher-
GUS, cunning. Lying. cheating, stealing,
numbering were his pastimes. Then it is
no wondering that the Shinumo, in his
emaciated condition, was compelled to
retreat before the impetuous attack of
such foe. He was no warrior-no hun"
ter. He had depended almost entirely
on his knowledge of agriculture for his
peaceful existence. II was impossible
for him TO act on the defensive, and at
the same time successfully till the soil
The Indian was constantly on the alert
to surprise him. He must fall back and
yield more territory to the exacting in
truder. Vanquished and discouraged,
he fortified himselfin places extremely
difficult ofacCess; built cliff-houses; lived
in caves, and finally became extinct The
divisions on the south side of the Colo
RADIO Jared somewhat better for the stup-
enndous chasms ofthe river for barrier
that can only be crossed with success at
several widely-separated points. Conse-
quently, when the Indian reached this
obstacle, his easy progress southwark was
interrupted. The crossing points, too,
which of course were we'll known to the
Shinumos, had been strongly fortified by
their soldiery, and thus double cheek
was presented to the invasion. The
people then enjoyed comparative peace,
till, in the course of their nomadic wan
derings, the Indians discovered that there
was an end to the cannon barrier, and
were once more able to cope with their
antagonists under favorable auspices. The
Shinumos were again slowly driven back
and, at the dawn of our knowledge of
the region, we find surviving only mere
handful of their kindred, in the Pueblo
tribes, who are still defending their fort
ress-homes, as they had been for centu-
ries."

FACTS FOR TO-DAY.

In view of the virtual recognition oi
the Nichols government in Louisiana,
by Mr.. Hayes. in Difference to our Repub-
lican readers, we cannot do better than
transfer to our columns close and
analytical review of the merits of the
question from Republican stand point
by so noted a republican journanl as the
New York Independent Says that paper
of this week;
"We speak advisedly, as did Senator
Blaine, in saying that Gov. Packard's
title to the Office he claims is as valid as
that which Justly and lawfully seated
Rutherford B. Hayes in the Presidential
chair.
"Fact it is that last fall an election was
held in Louisiana for State officers and
Presidential electors. Fact it is that the
votes compiled by the Returning Board
and certified to the Secretary of State,
and by him transmitted to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives, and by
the latter opened in the presence of the
two Houses of the Legislature, each hav.
ing a quorum Of members attested by the
Returning Board as legally elected, did
show, as canvassed and declared in the
Joint meeting Of the two Houses, that
Mr.. S. B. Packard had been elected. Fact
it is that he was sworn into'offiCe and en-
tered upon the discharge of his duties.
Fact it is that he had greater number of
votes by nearly one thousand than was
given for any Republican elector. Fact
it is that without counting the Republi-
can electoral votes Of Louisiana, President
Hayes was not and ex-Gov. Tilden would
have been elected Fact it is that the
Electoral Commission treated the Re-
turning Board and its action as valid in
law, and that the Supreme Court Of
Louisiana has declared this board to be a
legal organization, invested with such
powers that its decision in canVassing
the votes ofthe people are open to no re-
view or correction by the highest judicial
tribunal Of the State.
These are facts, legal facts, ind withal
as real, as strong as formal as law can
make any facts. There is no dodging
the conclusion. If President Hayes holds
his Office by a just finding according To
law, then the title of Governor Packard
is absolutely unimpeachable. Ifthet title
of the latter be not valid, then the Elec
toral Commission fell into most griev'
GUS mistake in counting the electoral
votes of Louisiana for Rutherford B
Hayes. Upon thissupposition we charge
the Commission, not with intentiona
fraud, but with an enormous blunder
Republicans, in studying. what may bt
called the logic of the position, should
not forget to study the law logic Of the
case. We frankly give it up, and admi
! what Democrats affirm that if the title
offs. B. Packard is not good, then that o
Rutherford B. Hayes is not good. We
believe that the latter was lawfully elect
ed; but we could not 80 believe for
moment if we had not like faith in re
gard TO the former. 1t is not possible tc
hold to the one and reject the other
without disregarding the clearest evi
denee Of facts, Both stand or fall TO
] gether.
