Burdette on Woman Suffrage.

Why am Il Woman Suflragist? Be
cause i am. Because il woman has
more good, hard, common sense than
man. Because she makes less blus-
ter about her rights, and quietly main
tains them better than u man. Be
cause she won't give 81 80 for an arti-
Gle that she knows very we'll she can
get for Is cents. Because she does
not stalk loftily away from the counter
without her change if the robbcr be-
hind it is a little reluctant about
counting it out. Because she is too
independent to pay the landlord - for
her dinner and then pay the head
waiter Tl to send her waiter who will
bring it to her for 80 cents. Because
she will hold her money tightly in her
own good little right hand for two
hours until she first gets receipt for
it from the fellow who made her hus-

for it, with her. Because one day a
Pullman porter complained to me, No

Mammoth Bones Discovered.

In letter from Spokane Falls t,
the Tacoma L~ig'r, W. NJ. Lee, tn,
nur>cryman and fruitgrowcr, writes:
The face OF the whole Tcrritor,
shows unmistakablc evidence of grca
volcanic uphcavals. On my trI
through Spokane county, stopped "a
Latah, and in conversation with Mr.
Copeland of that place, regarding tn,
volcanic formation OF that section, h,
informed me that he had examined
some large bones of great antiquity
Accompanied by Mr.. Coplcn | went
to the spring where the relies were dug
out. 1t is located on II low strip ot
springy prairie. The excavation
around the spring is twelve or fifteen
feet deep and thirty or forty feet across
The bones were covered bv several dis.
tlnct layers. The first layer was
ancient peat. then volcanic ashes, then
il layer of coarse peat. From thi.
spring were taken no less than nine
mammothS, or elephants OF different
size, the remains Of Il cave bear, and
hycnas, extinct birds, and sea turtle.
Mr.. Coplcn kindly presented me with
some specimens of these relies. The
dimensions of some of the bones of
the larger mammoth were wonderful
to look at. The horns were sort OF
tusks and protluded from the head
just below the eyes extending down
ward below the jaws, thea upward
over the head. BY dropping the head
in the act OF feeding, the circle OF the
horns that extended below the Jaws
partially rested on the ground giving
support to the head, which is sestimatcd
to have wcighed ton.
The horns were Worn away several
inches deep at the bottom of the turn
or half circle, indicating constant Use
by rubbing on the ground or rocks.
One OF these horns was ten feet and
one inch long, and twcnty-four inches
IN circumference. Ii weighed 115
pounds. One of the tusks measured
twelve feet and nine inches in length
and twenty-sevcn inches around. 1t
weighed 295 pounds. The jaw weighed
sixty-three pounds. The molar
teeth weighed eighteen pounds each.
Some Of the ribs were eight feet long.
The pelvis arch Was six feet across,
and an ordinary man could walk erect
through this opening. This huge and
antique monster was eighteen feet and
six inches high, and was estimated to
weigh twenty tons.
Just imagine far back in the misty
bygoncs of antiquity, probably before
the appearance of man upon earth,
that Washington Territory was the
vi tlC HiollSlIOuS dlllllltlS tllit
roamed over the great prairie traverscl
the Columbia river and made the gen
ial climes Of Puget Sound their haunts
in winter. 1t matters not, what the
theories may be i'll regard to these inn
bedded bones of such huge proper
tions; why so many OF them are piled
together i'll these springy places; what
period of age the animals lived, and
what age the great change took place
which made them disappear from the
continent, whether they first made
their appearance in this part of Amer
lea and whether or not it was then Il
tropical climate. Certain it is that
they lived and hourished here thous-
ands of years ago, and the remarkable
discovery of these bones may lead to
fresh researches in that vicinity"

fact it barely suffices for the decent uphold
ing of the dignity of the Office and is
scarcely more than a fair recompense for
the work which such conscientious occu-
pant of the Office as the present eX-
ecutive performs. Regarding the pres
ent incumbent of the office, there
would be an especial hardship in
any reduction of salary. The most clear
headed and prudent of men are inclined to
be lavish to the verge of reckleSsness in
their domestic expenditure during the first
year or so of married life. and although in
the present Instance that famous trousseau
will cut off for some time one usual and
deep channel of expense falling to the lot
of husbands, the expenses resulting from
the regency of young and beautiful
woman in the White house will cause even
the present salary which the. president re-
ceives to wilt away like snow beneath the
suns warm rays. The American people,
though he came around to it rather late
in life, want to see Mr.. CLEVELAND's mat
rimonial experiment succeed. and they will
be unwilling to have him handicapped at
the start by inadequate financial resources.
Rather. under the circumstances, increase
the presidents salary than reduce it.

KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP.

The commercial travellers are body of
men whose influence upon the business life
of the country is very distinctly felt Nee
essarily, they are intelligent beyond the
average and, visiting as they do every sec
ton of the country, they are cosmopolitan,
without, as a class, being affected by pro-
vincial prejudices. Forming an organize
ton of 5000 members constantly travel
ing, it is but natural that they should be
accorded certain privileges by railroads
and hotels. and to secure these
privileges is the object of 1.-THE Tray
elels' Protective association" for whose
fourth annual convention to meet
at Baltimore, on July %, call has just
been issued. The drummer" as he is
Familiarity called, is an institution without
which the merchant in remote towns would
find it difficult to get along. Without the
expense and inconvenience of making long
and tiresome journey to his base of supplies,
the dealer is enabled to select his stock
through the ubiquitous TOURIST as well as
though he had gone to the city himself.
Accordingly, anything which may make the
way of the drummer easier, which will
more readily enable him to reach his Gus
toners, is as much benefit to the latter as to
the former, For this reason the Baltimore
convention will have an interest extending
beyond the organization by which it is
brought together. 1t should be widely at
tended, and. if for no other reason than
self-interest, employers should accord their
travelling men every facility for being
present.

HEIR MosT's CONVICTION.

The conviction of Herr MOST and his
sentence to the state prison will have a sal
utary effect. AS the judge who pronounced
the sentence said, it is matter of regret
that the law did not permit heavier pun
ishment to be inflicted. This will be made
all right in the future, as the law will be
changed and the punishment will be made
greater. The value of his conviction is in
the lesson it teaches the followers of the
red flag. The anarchists must be made to
understand that the freedom of American
institutions cannot be made cover for the
indulgence of turbulence and incendiary
language. They must be taught that this
is a government of law, and as such must
be respected. The freedom of speech and
the freedom of opinion which are guaran-
teed by the constitution do not comprehend
the freedom of violence and of reasonable
utterances in which the anarchists indulge.
The American people know how to draw
the line between liberty and anarchism.
If Herr MosT's conviction is followed by
dealing out the utmost penalties of the law
to the Chicago anarchists. the social condi-
tons of the country will be purified by it.

GEN. Sherman Explains Why He Did
Not Attend Hendricks Funeral

INDIANAPOLIS, June 2.-The Grand
Army reunion and campfire in connection
with the opening of the new city hall
reached its climax to-day and tonight
Gen. Logan arrived this morning and Gen.
Sherman reached the city this afternoon.
The latter was met by the local mill
tary and Grand Army posts, and enter
ing a carriage with Gen. Logan, was es-
corted to his hotel. The generals were
roupdly cheered along the route and at
University park the carriage was bombarded
with flowers by the thousands of school
children. whose offerings were so numerous
as to overflow the vehicle. At the camp
ire tonight the program comprised
speeches by Gen. Sherman, Gen Logan.
Commander Burdette OF the G. A. R.. Sen
at0r Harrison. Gen. Gibson, eX-Secretary
of the navy Thompson and Others. The
Intervals between speeches were filled by
patriotic songs, rendered by huge orches-
ira and a chorus of 600 voices, and scenes
of almost frantic enthusiasm We're of fire.

speech, Gen. Sherman said:

ADAMS CREATION.

In these days. when church denomina-
tons are so prone to dodge or compromise
on the issues which science is constantly
raising, it is quite refreshing to find one
church organization that is not bit mealy
mouthed in giving expression to its opin-
ions The Southern general assembly of
the Presbyterian church, now in session
in Augusta, Ga, has delivered formal
declaration on the scientific theory of evo-
luton. 1t knocks the wind out of OAR
wINIsM. The assembly solemnly declares
that 'ADAM's body was directly fashioned
by Almighty God, without any animal par
entage of any kind, out of matter previously
created from nothing" This clears up
scientific point about which there has been
a great deal of doubt. 1t is gratifying to
have it announced eX cathedral that we did
not descend from monkeys. 1t is good
deal better for the churches to come down
tlat-footed in respect to this matter instead
of apologiZing for the mistakes that MOSES
is supposed to have made in his history of
the creation. The Biblical account of crea-
ton is either correct or it is incorrect.
There is no halfway ground in the discus
sion Of this subject, and the church ought
to take an honest stand in defense of MOSES
and his version. Ii MOSES falls, then the
Bible and the whole fabric of the Christian
church falls with him.
