at the problem from every side, ho had come
to the conclusion that there had been a sud-
den and violent change of climate in She.
ria, which had frozen the previously soft
ground, and had preserved the mammoth
as IN huge meat safe. Although the
mammoth had even originally lived in the
place where he was now found, it was i'm.
possible that he could live there now, ow-
lns to the absence in that part of the coun-
try Of the food which would be nee ,ssarv
to sustain him. Such trees as he nsed n
live ON were only now found about five
hundred miles from the spot where his
romans were discovered. The natural
corolary that followed from the theory
was, that something similar must be
postulated with regard to other rcgious.-
The conditions in which the elephant was
found in Siberia were precisely similar to
those in which it was found in the north.
western part Of Russian America, and pre-
cisely the same as those in the great lakes.
where the great mammoth itself was found,
and it could not, therefore, be doubted that
the mammoth lived in Europe and America
with the same food and surroundings as il
did in Siberia.

A delegation of New York citizens,

A delegation of New York citizens,
supposed to represent agricultural,
manufacturing, and commercial in
terests of this country, are at present
in Havana. The purpose of their
visit to Cuba is explained to be the
establishment of better commercial
relations between this country and
Spain's last remaining American col
ony. These gentlemen may as we'll
return home at once; in fact, they
would have done better, and wasted
less time and less money, had they
never left home. They can accom-
plish absolutely nothing in Havana,
unless their visit should convince
them of the truth of what they might
have learned in any library; namely,
that Cuba is despotically governed by
Spain, and forced in every way to
contribute directly and indirectly to
the promotion and protection of
Spain's home industries.

The Dalles Moumtaiiaeer of February

NJ. Phillips, two young men living at
Goldendale, w. T., were arrested on
suspicion of setting fire to Mr.. Thomas
Johnson's mill, which was burned to
the ground on Sunday evening, the Sd
inst. They had hearing before JUS
tice Keats at that place last week,
which resulted in the discharge of Phil
lips, and the binding over of young
Lancaster in the sum of $4,000 for his
appearance at the Circuit Court at
Vancouver on the Sth day of March
next We understand that the evil
dence is altogether circumstantial, but
very strong. This young man is said
to be only IS years old. Certainly his
future prospects are anything but en-
couraging.

Among the third and fourth rate
powers who are now clamoring for a
share of Turkey, none occupy more
unenviable position than Servia
and Greece. But for the protecting
hand Of the great powers and the
moderation of Turkey, both of these
countries would long since have ex-
perienced a common fate. During
the present struggle both have had
but one thought to discover which
side was likely to win and to profit
by the discovery. Each turn of the

believe that patriotic men of all par
ties approve the settlement of that
controversy, and we therefore arraign
and condemn that faction of the dem
ocratic party which now seeks to dis
turb the business of the country and
dishonor its fair fame by refusing a
manly submission to the decision.
IL. That we favor home rule and
self-government in the territories, and
we therefore ask for such action by
congress as will enable the people Of
the territories to choose all their own
officers.
IL. That the first duty Of govern
ment, general and local, is the protec-
ton of life and property; and we there
fore favor an energetic warfare upon
road agents and thieves, with all the
means in our possession, until the laws
are respected throughout the territory.
10. That the mining interests of our
territory demand our fostering care,
and we earnestly recommend such ac-
ton by our government as will best

RESOLUTIONS:
Resolred, That the thanks of the peo-
pie of the territory r due to Hon. w.
w. Corlett, for the digniied and eff
Gent ann in which he has dis
charged his duties as the representa-
tive of Wyoming in congress; that the
republican party has never had reason
to apologize for his conduct in discharg-
ing the duties Of any public offices
which he has held, and that the conf.
dence of this people in him is such that
they will be ready at all times TO confer
upon him their highest honors.
Resolred, That in the nomination Of
Stephen W. Downey as their choice fol
the Office of delegate to the forty-sixth
congress, the republicans of Wyoming
territory thus honoring him have to {
far greater degree honored themselves
That in Col. Downey we recogniz,
those qualities of eloquence and sagac,
ity which, united with his known expe
rience in public affairs, render him il
the most eminent degree the man tc
obtain from our fellow citizens il
Washington, who hold the balance o
power, those rights and privileges o
suffrage and self-government the en-
joyment of which is now denied to us
and upon the securing of which right,
in q great degree depends the futur,
prosperity and happiness Of the territor,
in which we live, and intend to make on
homes, and we pledge to Col. Downe,
our steady and unfaltering support.

If HE is reported correctly, Senate

If HE is reported correctly, Senator
Spencer, of Alabama, is possessed of
the following:
81 believe in December, 1879, the
democrats of the senate will elect a
democratic president protein. Then
the house and senate jointly, will de-
clare that Hayes was never elected
president, and refuse to recognize him.
Then the president Of the senate pro-
tenn will be sworn in as president, and
congress will act with him, ignoring
Hayes and Wheeler. They will justify
their course by citing the Evarts' let
ter of instructions to the visiting
statesmen of Louisiana. Next will
war that will last ten years. The
mistake that the present senate made
was In confirming the present cabinet.
1t should have insisted on surrounding
the president by republicans of national
reputation, and thereby have avoided
the evil %counsels that have prevailed"
1t strikes us that Spen ,er is both n
%demagogue and a fool: a demagogue
for entertaining and expressing such
REASONABLE sentiments, and a fool for
b~etraying his party counsels. Among
many democratic leaders these same
