lnation revealed that in the clothes
lay nothing more than gaunt s&ele-
ton. To the top of the fleshless skull
adhered few fragments of light
colored hair; the bony face, the eye
less sockets, and skeleton hands were
a ghastly sight. The hair seemed to
indicate that the person had been of
light complexion; the face had been
smooth shaven, for only q few stub
bles protruded from the upper jaw.
Ia the pockets Of the clothing we're
found q pipe, tin snuff-box, a rusty
pocket-knife and 81 05. There were
no weapons of any description found
near the body, and no marks to in
dicate that the man had met vio-
lent death. Appearances indicated
that the man had been dead from
six to eight months. Not a scrap of
paper. letter or jewelry was found
upon the deceased person to indi-
cate who he might have been. The
case remains shrouded in mys-
terry, and who the man is or how he
met bis death will probably forever
remain unknown"

A Mystery.

The Tacoma Ledger gives the fol-
lowing particulars in regard to the
skeleton found at South Prairie, in
Pierce county: "The place where
the remains were, was at point
about 100 yards above the south
bridge above South Prairie. The
body was lying in the brush, about
100 feet from the track. 1t ap-
peared that the two men who discov-
cred the remains were out hunting,
and while chasing pheasant they
accidentally stumbled upon the re-
cumbent form of the dead man.
The remains lay as they had been
found. The body was in a perfectly
natural position, as though the man
had lain down to go to sleep. The
feet were crossed, one arm lay be-
side the body, the other arm was
crossed over the chest. The body
was attired in a coat, shirt, under
shirt, pants and overalls, and the
feet were encased in stout lace shoes.
The man had evidently been a Ia
borer. The head rested upon large
root of a tall spruce tree, under
whose sheltering branches the man
had evidently lain down. An exam

which they would do under the i'm
precision that the opponents of the
Chinese are composed entirely of
the "riff.raff7' and hoodlums" OF
the country. The organization has
not yet been very aggressive in tho
Northwest; but it is quite stro n in
California, and it is growing with n
rapidity that will soon make it's in
fluence very powerful.
A convention of the order will be
in session in San Francisco this week,
and it will in all probability deliver
some utterances on the Chinese
question which will attract the at
tention of the country.

Knights Of Labor.
Portland News

oitisti 4NcWS.
The growth of the knights of Lab
or organization is one of the marvels
of the Nineteenth Century. In
every State and Territory Of the
United States, and in Canada, it is
now established, and every month
adding to the number of local assem-
blies amounts to 4, $50, and the dis.
trict assemblies to l04. Some of
these assemblies contain q member
ship of 1000, and none of them
less than q membership of fifty.
The actual membership is some
where in the vicinity of 100000.
Assemblies have been established in
England, Scotland, Belgium, France,
Spain, Italy and Mexico. In Eng
land the order is making steady pro-
gress. Many of the assemblies are
composed exclusively of women.
Recently the order has made rapid
progress in the Southern States, the
colored people forming assemblies
with their customary enthusiasm and
joining in large numbers.
To the Knights of Labor is likely
to be committed in the end the agita-
ton of the Chinese question. They
have already been active in all the
movements for the removal Of the
survile race on the Pacific coast, and
this fact has great influence in cor
recting the misapprehension which
subsidized newspapers have created
in distant sections OF the country.
When the members of the organiza-
ton in other portions of the country
learn that their associates in the Or
der on tho Pacific coast are most
active in the. Chinese movement, they
will not regard it with that aversion

Indicator.

The idea of Chinese competition
with white men is not so odious as
it would be if the people understood
clearly to what extent it can be car
ried. Mechanics and artizans rest
easy because they think the trades
will always be exempt from coolie
interference, and that no one but Ia
borers will suffer. This is to be
reprehended because it is selfish and
unpatriotic, as we must all stand or
fall together; but let us see if their
security is not only fancied. The
Chinese, it is we'll known, are the
cleverest imitators in the world, be-
ing able to produce n fac simile of
anything that is submitted to their
manipulation from an oil painting
or other picture to the most intricate
piece of machinery. They can copy
Bierstadt's Mount Hood SO perfectly
that the artist will be deceived, but
they cannot transfer the living scene
to canvas-because they have no
idea of perspective or fore shorten
ing. They can construct an engine
after an iron model is furnished
them, but they cannot vary its sizo
nor explain a single principle upon
which it works. Now in view of the
foregoing capitalists can use a white
mans brains and intellect to originate
all idea and then turn him out to
starve while cheap Cinnamon are
used to carry that idea out. Thus
it will be with every trade. China
men have already crowded many
white men off of railroads and out of
the harvest fields of California and
Oregon. They run sewing machines,
do washing and act as cooks and
servants to the detriment of many
poor women who for want of en-
ployment are often driven to great
straits. TIA Chinaman can manage
a sewing machine why can ho not
tend lathe in our foundries or
drive plane? The fact is, that he
can after he has seen it done, upon
the same principle that parrot can
use words that have been often re-
peated within its hearing. Thus it
will be seen that there is no class of
men who can always expect to es-
cape.

Beecller's Platform.

In an interview with q Chicago re-
porter last week, Henry Ward
BeecEer stated as follows: GA great
many Republicans to-day believe in
protection simply bscause it is their
party doctrine. Now that is no ba-
sis for q man to stand upon. The
only peg that protection has had is
being knocked away. 1t is that
protection is in favor of the work.
inSman; that it gives him employ
ment and good wages. There are
1,OO0,OOO mon out of employment
to-day because these pampered in
dustries have so cut into each other
by the competition induced by pro-
lection that they must lessen ex-
penses somewhere, and the only
place they can do it is in the wages
of their employees. I wish I had
had this action of the butter and
egg mems convention before me
when I spoke here the other night.
They want their hens protected 10
per cent against the pauper hens of
Europe. The poor hens ought to
be protected. If I was a protection
list l would 60 further. I would
want n heavy tax placed on all ba.
bies imported. Of course, the old
people would come in free-that
seems TO be the usual principle-but
these foreign babies are certainly in
terferring with our native industries
which receive protection. Yes, they
ought to be taxed, and pretty heav-
lily, too. Under this scheme of pro-
lection, the sun and rain have
ceased to have anything to do with
our prosperity. All there is to do
is to levy tax on foreign goods in
New York, and that branch of in
dustry will flourish
Mr.. Beecher spoke in unqualified
endorsement OF Presiden. Cleveland, -,
who, he said, has done all that
could be hoped for during the eight
months of his Administration. On
the silver question he favored an
" honest dollar" containing 100
cents worth of bullion, and believed
it was worth L" fighting for"

A Colony of Women in Colorado,

A women's colony on a novel basis
is to be located in Colorado, in the
beautiful valley of the San Luis.
Rich women will build up the col
ony, and poor women will establish
industries by which to support
themselves. They will likely en-.
gage in bee culture, silk. culture, the
raising Of small fruits, the raising of
domestic animals, the manufacture
Of preserves and jellies and various
other similar industries. When one
of the projectors was asked the other
day if men were to be excluded from
the colony, she replied that was the
queerest question ever put to her;
said she didn't think barbed wire
fences would have any effect in keep
ing men out of that colony, and she
had no idea of keeping n dozen
sturdy Amazons on the watch, as
the fair ladies did in tho Princess"
It is understood there will be plenty
of men on hand in the immediate
vicinity of the sunny San Luis about
the time the famous colony is started.
This rather knocks the poetry out of
the scheme, but its practical ad-
vantases may thus be enhanced.
Men will do nicely to fill in the
background, and may sometimes be
intrusted with the duties of under
stewards. As for figuring extensive
Iy, their sex is against them and
they will be kept down.

A RECOMMENDATION.

Continuing, the Secretary says,
IL recommend that portion Of
every reservation DO divided up into
several tracts Of suitable size for
farms, TO DO allotted to each individ.
ual as his sole and separate estate.
Provision should DO made agains,
tho power, until after time limited,
OF selling or mortgaging tho same,
or even leasing it TO any but Indians
living within the same reservation.
Without Legislation Of this kind, oil
efforts to make tho Indian support
himself by his own labor will prove
fruiilcss aud unvailing. To over
come his natural aversion to labor
there must DO the incentive given
alone by u sure guarantee that the
fruits Of his labor should bo enjoyed
in security. No man will clear
forests. inclose fields and cultivate
them, and rear houses and barns.
when at any moment ho may be rs.
moved and carried ufl against his
will To some distant and unknown
region. The ownership Of land
freeholdlug. tends 10 inspire indi.
vidual independence. pride Of char.
actor, personal industry and the do.
velopment Of tho domestic virtues.
Provision should be mad. that the
Indian accepting n patent for his
land shall thereby not forfeit any Of
his rights as n member OF his tribe,
nor tho protection aud benefit which
the laws Of tho United States extend
to Indians generally.
