corr-Mnus RELICS.

the name Of Christopher Columbus Is to
b intimately associated with great
public event in the chief nation of the
world which he discovered. The Co
lumbus fair of 1899 will mako the voy-
ayers name household word. His
struggles and triumphs will be recited
"a the ears Of millions OF human beings.
The nations OF the Old World will gather
with those of the new to do him honor.
All the public memorials Of Columbus
which this country has erected are clus-
tered about the rotunda Of the capital.
Il Is a matter Of proper pride with Amer
leans that, though Columbus spoke not
the English tongue, and though he never
eet foot on the soil Of the present terri
tory Of the United States, this country
has not been slow to honor his name and
his deeds In monuments Of bronze and
marble.
This plaster head Is one of the saddcst
things / have seen In the Capitol. Sad
because Il Is bogus Columbus. Pity
that the head OF tho real Columbus
Of the Columbus who lived in land Of
painting and sculpture - should have
been lost In the mists of the past. Sad
because It reminds one Of the great man
iourneying back to the Old World, from
the New World which he had discovered,
In chains. Sad because 1t brings to mind
the death OF Columbus in ignorance OF
+ tho magnitude Of his discovery, in ignor-
nnce of the fact that he had brought o
new world under the domain Of civilian
tion.
u There is much that is pathetic In the
career Of Columbus, and Of one Of tho
saddest incidents Of his life we find a pc
culiar souvenir in the National museum.
It 3 we'll known that this institution
contains personal relics Of nearly all the
great men whose names appear in the
history Of North America. and yet one
b surprised to find something that was
associated with the person Of the very
I first European whose feet touched these

HARD ON THE INHABITANTS.
a subtsrraucan Cave Begins to Engaif Land
and Buildings in Canada.

BERTHIER-AU-HAUTE, Quebec, JAM.
A most extraordinary event has just
occurred about three miles from here.
A few days ago farmer named Wig
mace heard a rumbling noise not un-
like an earthquake. Rushing out OF
his house he was astOnished to see tho
land about fifty yards distant. The
poor man saw ms barns tumbling to
pieces, his cattle getting crushed and
the earth rolling with a terrific noise
into the river. One hundred yards
distant what was high bank along
the river had disappeared, and in it's
place was an enormous cavity some
five or six acres in extent and twenty
or thirty feet deep. There must have
been a vast subterranean. cave. The
thickness Of the crust is plainly visible,
being not more than couple OF feet
thick. Several cows and horses were
killed, many barns were smashed to
pieces, and the scene is a sorry one.
A fresh crack in the earth six inches
wide made its appearance in another
place, and further developments are
expected. The spot has been visited
by hundreds of people and much ex-
citement prevails.

Judge Goodwin's Graceful Pen Pays Tribute
to Our Great Territory.
(Salt Lake Tribune.1


The land of great ranges and great
mines stands now on the threshold of
statehood, and the dowry she brings
is very grand. Among mining states
and territories she st ands first; among
the states and territories that are rich
in flocks and herds there is but one
superior; her agricultural lands are
measured by the numbers that tell the
full compass Of states in the east; in
area she is an empire. The year just
closed has been prosperous in all
things. She has advanced to the fore
most place among mining regions; she
boasts to-day two or three of the first
mines OF the west, while her really first
class mines are numbered by the score.
Aside from her mines she is the great
grass-yielding region of the republic;
her hills in the summer look like roll
ing pillows Of green. She has more
good agricultural land than any OF the
old Atlantic seaboard states; for here
there is perfect present prosperity and
a promise of unbroken prosperity for
the future. Among her best prOduc-
tiOns are the boys and girls that are
growing up under that bracing climate e
and amid the hopes which make all
the hearts in that great territory light.
That they will always be true men and
.x,sth hns,t
saying. That they will always be
cOuntry-lOving ID a self-evident fact.
The winters make comfortable homes
a necessity; the winter nights mean a
growing love for the homes that shelter
them, and when men love their homes
and are proud Of their birthplace it is
but step to advance to the point
when The heart expands to take the
whole country in. Were Montana an
island OF the sea, she would hold with
in her resources everything essential
for n nations happiness. Her area is
great enough to make a ruling grand
division Oi the earth; her resources are
great enough and diversified enough o
bring all needed things within hcr de-
mands We trust that before another
New Years morn shall lawn she will
he a full-caparisOned state, with her
own local officers and with full repre-
sentatiOn in the congress OF the repub-
lie. II is her due. She has the needed
capital; the needed backing; the needed
people and patriotism and intelligence.
There are hundred reasons why the
boon should he granted; there is not
one why it should be withheld.

What Was Hid in the Oak.
l''hicago New u

Many people in Connecticut are be-
ginning TO eyecrate the memory of the
misguided hero who once upon a time
hid the charter OF that commonwealth b
in an oak, and thus kept the kings
messenger from carrying il oil. They
are now living Under slightly modi-
fled form of that interestino colonial
relic. much to their dissatisfaction. 1t
is back number, and they do not
hesitate tn say so.
The Democrats OF to-day are furious
because the king didn't get that char
ter and thus give the people chance
to provide themselves with something
better. Because of King Georges i'll
luck the Democrats now see the fruits
OF their political victories calmly ap-
propriated by the Republicans. Thus,
in 1884, the Democratic candidate for
governor got ,G36 more votes in the
state than his Republican opponent,
and yet the latter became governor.
Two years later the Democratic plu-
rality was l.s9s, but Republican
ruled the state. Last November Luzon
B. Morris, the Democratic candidate,
secured 4 ) more votes than Morgan
Y. Bulkeley. the Republican, vet the
latter is about to be declared governor
of fConnecticut. These unnatural frea ks
of government by the people come
from the provision in the moth-eaten
chart er granted by Charles II E. in 1869,
that when no candidate for n state
office secures u majority OF all the
votes east the choice shall be made by
the legislature. State officers cannot
he elected in Connecticut by pluralities.
As another humorous peculiarity OF
the constitution makes the legislature
uniformly Republican, Connecticut is
ruled year after year by the minority
party. Its two United States senators,
fOr the same reason, are members of
the party casting the lesser number OF
votes.
approximation in Connecticut s lcgis-
lature is allotted not by population,
but by towns Therefore New Haven,
which casts II .S21 votes, has Just as
niahy TtpTfScIiiu utiNeS III the Stdtt ts-
sembly as Union, which has l lS votes.
How shameiully unfair this arrange
ment is appears from the following
statement The fOurt cen principa cities
of Connecticut cast 1s, ,3SI votes last
November. Those cities have 2S rep
resentatives in the legislature. The
rest of the state east 1884 votes at
the late election and has 22l repre-
>entaiives. This allotment is directly
traceable to the old charter which was
Ind in the oak.
The Democrats and many Republi-
cans oi the wOoden-nutneg state are
planning q get rid Of their comic-opera
constitution. They are thinking OF
leaving 1t out after dark, in the hope
that somebody will carry it of. But
ii somebody does it will probably he

A woman's Fight With Women.

y . YIN L|ONttAs
The outcome of the fight made by women
against the denomination of Miss Dodge and
Mrs. Agnew as Commissioners of Education
Is a very curious one. The Mayor has re-
nominated the latter and given Miss Dodge
the cold shoulder, naming a Mrs. Williams
in her place. Yet in the number of visits
mad to the schools. in work done and in
terest evinced. Miss Dodge distances all
other members.o of the board. but unfortu-
nately for herself she was and is progress
i've and a foe to the ancient and fishlike
methods of hearing and marking memoir
lied tasks. This, however. is not the es-
sence of the Queerness in the case. Miss
Dodge had also discovered that a teacher
had succeeded in separating a man from
his wife ana was living with him under
guise of a boarder. She brought charges.
was bitterly denounced therefor. pushed
the case. and at last proved it. The wife.
who was the informant, sought O divorce.
and then the couple got married and lived
openly together, and thus justified Miss
Dodge's action. But this is the cause of
Miss Dodge's downfall. The accused man
had a political pull" and he used it with
the Mayor and Boss" Croker. and with
what effect is seen. 1t is a pity hat such
a story is true, but a greater pity yet that
it should have such an issu" at the hands of
the men who are in political control of the
city. Miss Dodge is a daughter of the late
William T.. Dodge. an eminent merchant
and radical Republican, and presumably
her politics are Republican also. She has
learned. by a disagreeable process, that re-
formers get no sympathy from the men in
power.
