THERE ARE TWO CALIFORNIA SEN.
ATORS.

The Erdminer processes surprise that
Senator stanford did rot defer his journey

tam questions which a defeated Democratic
candidate desired TO ask him about the part
Senator Stanford took in the late election
1t is iptimated that the defeated candidate
attributed his defeat to the illicit use of
moner, and Il at he thought he had some
reason to SUI pose that Senator Stanford
had same knowl dye of circumstances at
tending the expenditure. The Examiner is
greatly surprised that the senior California
Senator did Mt embrace the opportunity to

THE PEOPLE AND CONGRESS.

A gent leman from Iowa asks the New
York Herald if it believes that ''tbe Re-
publican Congress which passed the McKin-
ley bill will eat humble pie and repeal it
either as whole or in part" To this the
Herald replies that "a party, Republican
or Democratic, which fails to rectify its
mistakes will very soon become what Sena-
tor ingalls, called an iridescent Dream"
The Her aid answer is a kind Of begging the
question. Congress will rectify mistake
when it discovers that it has made one. The
McKi nley tariff is in thorough accord with
the platform upon which the present Con-
gress was elected. 1t had been in partial
operation about a month when the election
was held, which resulted in the election of
a Democratic Congress. When that Con-
gress meets in session 1t Will be within its
province TO decide whether or not the YER
dict OF the people in 1880 was condemns
ton of the tariff that had but partially gone
into operation. But the present Congress
las no right to assume that its tariff has
been condemned. A measure passed in full
fillment of the promise made in the party
platform is certainly entitled to trial. The
Congress which gave it existence should not
be required to strange it. When the cleo
ton takes place in 1892 the tariff will have
been fairly tested. Ii the popular vote is
against it. Congress will carry out the will
of the people. Tine Herald asks in screechy
sort of way, who is master in this country,
Congress or the people? The people are
master when their will is clearly expressed.
But their will on the present tariff will net
be clearly expressed until the tariff has had
a fair trial

COMBINED. WOMEN.

" Methodist churches have been mildly agi-
tat by proposition to admit women as
lay delegates TO the general conferences. So
far as reported. a majority of the churches
have decided in the negative. The women
do not-seem to have made an effort TO Sc
tnre a different result. Most of the women
are indiff erent, and some of them active in
opposition to the proposition to confer new
privilege upon their own sex. This indiffer-
:&nee does not promise well for the woman
suffrage agitation. If the mass of women

tire hig he st legislative body in a church in
which women have shown the greatest ac-
tiyitY, the time does not seem close at hand
whenthey will take the action which is a
necessary preliminary to equal participation
IN State affairs. The general opinion of
MEN iii this matter is that if women are con-
tent to. leave the direction of State affairs to
:lnen, it is be tier so; but that if women
really want equality in management and in
respons Utility, it is well that they should
have it. In fact, it is conceded that women
can have the ballot whenever they may
unite in asking for it. In view of the prog
Iess which women have made in the last
twenty years in other and kindred respects,
1t is a matter Tor ONE surprise that there
has been so little desire for legal share in
the control of government. Women have
asked heir way into all the professions and
all the occupations which they are not plysi-
cally incapable of sharing, and have been
made welcome by their male co-workers.
They address public assemblages upon oc.
caSion, and are no more abashed than men
at seeing their names in print. Yet they do
NIT unite in declaration of desire to vote,
nor do they seem to take much interest in a
proposition to give them voice in tile coun-
ellis of one Of the largest and most liberal
church organizations Of the day. In the re-
cent New York municipal election women
took somewhat active part, but the jour-
nails of that city do not thi NIX that their ex
perience has inspired them with a longing
for politics as steady thing. Women who
entered the political field against Tammany
appear to have been neutralized by the eff

ore Trial Waa Enough.

''When the Kansas Pacific was first
opened" said B. w. Vedder. locomotive
engineer, "the Indians were very hostile and
there was constant fears that they would
wreck the trains. That they did not is due
to their ignorance of the iron horse and Of
the best methods of destroying it.
"One Of my firemen had an experience
with the Cheyennes that he will never for
get. He was on the road near Fort Wallace
when he saw that the Indians had cut the
telegraph, and knew that he had to look out
for squalls. They were never satisfied with
simply cutting the wire. but chopped it into
inch pieces with their tomabawks to effect
uaily stop the mysterious messages. As the
train came near large patch of Sunflowers
which grew on both sides of the track 100
Indians rose up, stretched strong rope across
the track, braced themselves and prepared
to receive the shock of the locomotive. As
was afterward learned they had taken raw
hide stripes. braided them together, and,
with a force of fifty at each end of the rope
thought that they would be able to stop the
train. The instant the locomotive struck
the rope the air was full OF Indians. They
were thrown in every directions. Some
were jerked clear across the train, ard more
than a dozen were killed or seriously in
jured. This was the last attempt made for
years to stop the trains. Globe Democrat.

THEY CLEANED HIS HEART.
But the Patient Died Under the
Operation.

But the Patient Died Under the
Operation.
American surgeons nave the credit Of be-
ing among the most daring in their expert
mcnts, but they do not beat the French.
What do you think of an attempt to clean
a mans heart? This is what was attempted
a short while since here in France. This Is
a true story | am telling you, no invention.
Two surgeons actually set TO work to open
mans chest for the purpose of getting at
and cleaning his heart.
Joseph Davenne, an upholsterer,i had been
suffering for many years with fatty degen-
GRAFTON of the heart. The poor man knew
he had not long to live, yet he was only
IS years of age and saw no reason why he
should die yet. Moreover, the doctors told
him that they might possibly cure him. They
persuaded him that at least he would be do
ing invaluable service TO science and that
he was bound to die soon at any rate If moth
ing was done, whereas this might prove the
means of curing thousands OF sufferers be-
sides himself.
"And So" the story is grayely told in a
French medical journal from which l trans
late, "poor NJ. Davenne consented to place
himself under their hands"
Then comes a lot of technical description
of the operation. which was performed un-
der water while the patient was In condl-
ton of aueStheSla. ] will not give all these
scientific words; it is quite unnecessary to
tell in scientific language how the cuticle
was removed, the pectoral muscles carefully
dissected form the ribs, the cartilaginous
functions of the ribs and sternum discon-
Dected and the heaving lungs in their deli
cate, shining, covering membranes exposed
| to view.
up to this point the patient still lived!
The heart, however, had not yet been
reached. However, to the two French sur
geons this was a mere detail which their
knives would speedily overcome. They did
overcome this mere detail very rapidly. In
less than minute more one OF them had M.
Davenne's heart in his hand and was busiiy
engaged Scraping from its surface the adipoSe
DEPOSIT with which it was covered and which
SO lmpeded its proper action.
Hold on momentv exclaimed the su r
| geon, "the man is dead ~
And so he vas, dead as the door nail which
Dickens has made proyerblal.
How they could have expected anything
else is not recorded, They had, however,
taken the precaution to have Nj. Davenne

that the operation was performed entirely
at his own risk, and that no person but
| himself was 10 be held in any way what
ever responsible tor his death, should it oc-
cur.
The surgeons had the assurance to send to
the medical journal a full report, of the case
and of the operation; no one has, as yet,
called them TO account for their foolbardi-
ness, and they do not say what they certified
as the cause of the mans death.-Paris cor

EACH HAD AN ANTLER.
a Hunter From Lynn Has Fight With

A Hunter From Lynn Has n Fight With
His Victim" for Life.
Mr.. West, hailing from Lynn, Mass, a
sportsman who frequently visits Maine, has
met with one of the strangest adventures
that ever occurred in the forests of the
State.
Some days ago Mr.. West came to Maine
and went into the woods north of Bangor
for a fortnights hunting of large game. He
was in Kingsbury soon after his arrival, and
after number of hours scrambling through
the woods without getting sight of deer
he emerged upon the bank of Horn Brook
and seated himself upon a log to rest.
Scarcely had he assumed his position when
he saw magnificent buck stalk out upon
the brow of a little hill overlooking his po-
sition, where he stood against the clear sky
for background, making noble-lookmg
picture.
Mr.. West, without a seconds delay, drove
one shot from his Winchester at him, and
was delighted to see the animal drop in his
tracks.
With the true sportsman's enthusiasm. he
scrambled up the hill to examine hi, prize.
and WAS disappointed to find that he had
shot off one of the handsome antlers very
close 10 the deer's head.
The game lay still as death in front of
him, and Mr.. West never for moment
thought that ne was alive. " hh6 nluSlng
over the unfortunate shot, and wondering
if the antler could not be replaced to give
him perfect head when it was mounted,
Mr.. West mechanically fitted it back upon
the bucks head and witnessed the effect.
Deep in his anatomical study Mr.. West
was suddenly amazed when the deer sprang
to his feet, and mad with rage and pain, at
tackled the unfortunate hunter with all the
fury of an animal at bay.
The Lynn sportsman had dropped his gun,
and the only weapon of defense was the
broken antler of the deer himself, and with
this he commenced striking his assaiant
full in the face. For while the battle
ragged furiously, both contestants fighting
for their lives, and each. as it Queeriy hap
pened, endeayoring to do all his execution
with single antler.
The deer handled his more easily and eff
fectively, and slowly drove the man down
the little hill
In the very hottest of the fight, when Mr.
West had about made up his mind to sue
cumb, both tumbed PUNK into tile brook,
and each made this his opportunity of eeas-
ing battle.
The deer quickly swan for one bank and
made into the woods, while Mr.. West clam
bered out upon the opposite side. soaking
wet thoroughly frightened and the mad
dest man in the whole township.
His clothes hung in shreds, and he was
bruised and bleeding from his wounds, but
through it all he had retained tight grip of
that antler. He Immediately returned to
camp, and has gone back to Lynn with the
trophy of his fight, leaving a standing offer
of 500 for its mate.-Boston Globe.

GLACIERS.
Seas of Ice Among the Mountain
Tops in Perpetual Snow.

In high valleys, among the mountains whose
tops are covered with perpetual snow, are
often found seas of ice called glaciers"
They are formed thus: Snow that falls
upon lofty mountains melts very little even
in summer. So in valleys high up among
the mountains it gathers TO great depth,
and from the weight of the snow lying
above, the lower layers become icy, as a
snow ball does when squeezed. The upper
crust mclts little during the heat of the
day, and the water sinks down through the
snow, and then freezes at night. From this
melting and freezing the mass of snow is
soon changed into sea OF ice.
Remember that when water freezes it ex-
pands. If we fill bottle with water and let
it freeze over night, in the morning we find
that the bottle is cracked by the swelling of
the ice. So it is with the water that forms
glaciers. When it freezes it stretches, and
pushes its way down in whatever direction
the valleys slope.
Glaciers of to-day are much smaller than
the ice seas of long ago. but still, in study
ing them We learn to understand the old
glaciers.
In travelling down valleys these ancient
glaciers left traces Of their journey. Over
all the places where the ice seas passed the
rocks are rounded and highly polished. A
Htiu Vi tlc56 Iuuuucu IUChS, WITCH seen from
distance, looks like field filled with
sheep erouching on the ground, and Swiss
geologists have called them roches mouton-
-'sheeplike rocks" In valley along
the summit of the Rocky Mountains, near
the "Mountain of the Holy Cross" there is
a beautiful display of these polished,
rounded rocks.
AS the glaciers moved down the valleys
great rocks, frozen fast in the ice on the
sides. and at the bottom. scratched and
marked other rocks as they passed by and
over them. Sometimes these scoring5 are
very broad and deep, for the immense rocks
the glaciers carried were like strong power
full tools in the grasp of a mighty engine;
sometimes the lines are as fine as those of
fine engraving. They usually run all one
way, and by looking at the direction in
which the lines run one can tell the direction
in which the glacier moved. In the sand
stone west of New Haven, Conn, the deep,
broad scorings can be plainly seen running
toward the southeast. The height at which
these scratches occur tell US something of
the depth of the ice.
Markings in the White Mountains indi-
cate that the ice was more than mile deep
over the region now known as Northern
New England.-St. Nicholas

A Delightful Chestnut Bobs Up, and
Halls This Time From Germany.
An American had tried several times to
engage the only other occupant of the COM
partment in conversation. but the latter, an
elderly German, although be in his brief re-
plies showed good knowledge of English,
was taciturn and went back to his book with
a grunt after every interruption. As the
train sped on its way toward Berlin the
silence became more and more oppressive to
the American. He came from part Of the
United States where to hold ones tongue is
almost as dea dly as to hold ones breath
Boston. Six hours of silence we're ahead of
him unless he did all the talking.
He noticed on the seat beside his fellow
traveller an odly shaped box, says Galig-
nani's Messenger, with what seemed to be
holes punched in the top. This might be
used TO break the ice, he thought, and he
said in the most polite way he could
compass
Excuse me, sir. but might be allowed
to ask what you have in that bcx?"
"a mongo.' was the gruff reply.
