Ex-senator Mcdonald is in Washington
again, and, as usual, 10 there on business
at least that is what he tells the re-
pOrters. 1t is somewhat remarkable that
Mr.. Mcdonald has business so often in
Washington, and that he always manages
10 get himself interviewed by the Wash
ingtOn correspondents without appearing
to be anxious to see his views in print.
He now makes q prediction. 1t Is as
follows: CATER the fall elections, and
am rot over-confdent as to Democratic
success, the President will open his eyes,
and there will be a change in his policy"
BY 'change in his policy" Mr.. Melon
aid doubtless means that Republican of
cials will be removed much more rapidly
than they have been. Mr.. Mcdonald may
be right in his prediction. The chances
are, however, that he is wrong, and that
he is talking for the benefit Of the poiti-
ticians in Indiana, and, perhaps. for the
whole country, for Mr.. Nc Donald evident
" has not yet lost all hope Of being the
nominee Of his party for the Presidency.
If the fell elections are favorable to the
Democrats the President will interpret
them 10 mean that the people are Satisfied
with his way of doing things, If they are
unfavOrable to the Democrats 1t is not
certain that he will change his policy
with regard 10 removals from office, be-
cause he is very stubborn man, and is
inclined to think that he knows about as
well as his party what course TO pursue.
He certainly will not want to make many
more changes until he sees what the SEN
ate does with the nominations that he has
already made. If the Senate is kindly dis
posed he may swing the official ak a little
more vigorously. He Will try to avoid
doubtless, a contest with the Senate.
A mistake, probably, that the President
made in the beginning was that he I'M
dertook TO pass upon the CLAIMS OF the
applicants for all the principal offices.
The task was immense, and he neces-
sarily was compelled to move slowly.
His experience has taught him by this
time. doubtless, that after he had
examined all the petitions and recon
mendations filed in behalf OF an appIi-
cant and had heard all his friends had to
say in his favor, he knew but little more
about him than when he first heard his
name. The reason is that the truth is not
always to be obtained from recommends
tions, petitions and friends.
II the President moves faster in making
appointments he will have to depend
more on Senators and Representatives
and hold them responsible for bad ap-
pointments. The anxiety of the President
to make good appointments is one of the
reasons, doubtless, why more changes
have not been made.
The President undoubtedly intends to
give the civil service law hearty sup
port, but that law has nothing to do with
the class Of offices to which he is being
urged to appoint Democrats. The people
Will find no fault with a strict enforce
ment Of the civil service law, but there
may be mutterings if the offices, not
within the jurisdiction of that law, are
left much longer in the possession of Re
puhlicans, even if they are inoffensive.

RemarkahIe Dtscoveries.

Two rather remarkable discoveries have
been made lately. One is that of an al
Legged petrihed giant, and the other that of
alleged human fossils. The giant was dis
covered by two farmers who were sinking
a well ten miles from the town OF Victo-
ria, British Columbia. The body is re-
ported to resemble closely that of human
being, and the head has the appearance Of
having been scalped. The material is
very hard. 1t is very easy to trace the
veins and ribs.
The fossil human remains were found.
il ia said, near the City of Mexico, in a
stone quarry, in January, 1884. They are
m the possession of the American Society
ef Natural History. Mariana de la Bar
cena, who writes an account of the dis
covery ofthe remains, says that they care
firmly embedded in a rock formed Of sill
Gifted calcareOus tufa, very hard, and OF a
brownish gray color. The Uranium with
the lower and upper maxilla and frag-
ments of the collar bone, vertebrg, ribs
and bones from the upper and lower
limbs are exposed. The bones present
yellowish appearance and the
characteristics OF fOssilization, it being
noteworthy that they are not coated with
layers of calcareOus rock, as is observed
in the recent deposits, but are firmly i'm.
| bedded in the stone, which also fills the
cells Of the tissue" In view OF the fact
that many attempts have been made 10
palm OF impOstures on the public. further
evidence will be awaited, doubtless, be-
fore either Of the discoveries is accepted
az being what It is alleged 10 be.
