A writer In the st. Louis Globe DEM
ocrat says in reference to the discoveries
recently made by Lieut.. Cushing: Frank
Cushing's find Of q vast cemetery in Ari-
zona bids fair to be Of greater importance
than was at first supposed. Over one
hundred skulls being examined, all proved
to be the broad or round type, and not
one of the long or dolicho cephalic sort.
There are fragmants and remains of arts
and industries in the graves which enable
scientists to reconstruct quite fairly the
state Of civilization Of the natives of that
land when the cemetery was in use. But
most important of all, those who were
sent out from Washington to aid Mr..
Gushing have discovered that in the jaw
there is invariably peculiarly almost
unknown to our race. The problem Of
the ancient population of our southwest
now seems near solution.

The gold excitement in Lower Califor-

from disappointed prospectors are to the
effect that there are some good claims
there, but nothing like reported. The
cost Of gett ng to the diggings is great and

Commissioner stockslager, Of the Gen
eral Land Office, has rendered an i'm
portant land decision in the Tumacacori
and Calabazas private land claims in
Arizona, holding there is authority for
restraining the survey of such claims for
two reasons: First, that the land being
within Gadsden's purchase of 1853, is not
operated upon by the act Of July 22, 1884,
and OF the treaty OF Guadalupe Hidalgo
second, that the preliminary survey Of a
private claim does not Of itself operate as
q withdrawal Of surveyed lands from SET
tlement, and the entry in the cases incur
red by said act Of 1853 is legal, the with
drawal being only Of lands actually
claimed or which shall be legally claimed.
Under this ruling nearly three million
acres Of land in New Mexico and Arizona
are in a state Of unlawful reservation from
settlement. Nearly all private claims in
Arizona are within the Gadsden purchase.

Sat meiitating 10 his cell, alone.
Through the embrasure. high and deeply sunk,

The monk In wonder raised his eyes-when, lol
He saw a vision OF his Saviour bright,
Appareled all In glory, white as snow,
That made the very monday black as night
The holy father ciasped his hands, and gazed
Enraptured on the vision grand and fair;
It seemed as though his cell TO heaven were raised

Rang the accustomed summons to the gate;
And Ambrose heard the beggars chorus SWELL

At Vernon Center a nest Of yellow hornets
broke up prayer meeting which tho Rev.

Hammond's horse had been hitched, together

The President has treated Tanner
stability BE knew what kind Of man
Tanner was. He appointed him under
the statement that pensions should not
be weighed in apotheeary's scales" After
appointment the President told Tanner
that the boys must be treated literally
within the law
When the ever watchful papers began
to sound the alarm and Tanners double
action, hair trigger mouth began to go
off the President encouraged him by
saying that his course was perfectly
satisfactory TO the administration" and
that he must not allow the newspaper
criticisms to disturb him. Tanner eyi-
IDENTIFY thought the President meant
what he said He acted ''liberally" with
the boys and he did not allow the criti
cisms Of the press to disturb him.
But soon the Tanner affair became a
source Of perplexity to the President. It
was hoped that the newspaper criticism
would soon blow itself out and that the
whole matter could be adjusted without
having any sensation or public scandal
attached to It, The public criticism. in
stead Of subsiding, continued TO increase,
At last it became evident TO the President
that Tanner could not be sustained espe
cially as Secretary Noble made his own
resignation or Tanners dismissal the al
tentative for the Presidents oonsidera.
ton.
The situation is quite embarrassing t.
the President. He appointed Tanner
against good advice, TO meet the demand,
Of the g. A. r. He was already posing
for second term and angling for th,
soldier vote. After encouraging Tanner
in doing just what he has done, anC
pending an investigation, and while h,
was still under fire, the President ha:
forced his resignation.
To do this the President has yielded to
the demands of Secretary Noble and
receded from the position he had taken
with the deliberate stubborn and conse
quential calmness Of man who thinks
himself infallible.
But the difficulty is not over, for the
President cannot cure one mistake by
committing another mistake Those who
profess to be acquainted with the inside
facts OF the case say that Secretary Noble
has been too hasty and positive in tn,
affair, He is said to have refused tC
recognize facts which warranted an en-
tirelY different view Of the case. Taking
all in all, Secretary Noble is charged by
the commissioners friends with being
stubborn and unreasonable The Presi
dent is charged with yielding to tn,
Secretary's rancor
The President should not have ap
pointed Tanner from bad motives, SHOULD
not have encouraged him, but having
done these things as he may have sup
posed, for the welfare of the country an,
not to capture the soldier vote, Ii
should have stood by Tanner,
The President has not improved hi
position. He has jumped from the fry
ing pan into an exceedingly hot fire.

That curious pioneer white r'iler Of Cen

dim, black way which pervades every

in return Stanley is acquiring claims
