THE OASA.GRAEDBRUIN- ITS PAR
TIAL RESTORATION.

Visitor IN the Florence Enterprise.
It will be remembered that through
the influence of Senator Hoar Of
Massachusetts, a bill was passed
through Congress in 1883 and 1889 for
an appropriation Of $1,000 for the
above purpose. In the summer OF
1889 1t became available.
Last winter the Bureau of Ethnolo-
gy sent Mr. Cosmos Mendelelf to
make surveys, drafts, plan and speci-
hcations for work to save the decay
ing walls and excavate tho five rooms
and brick up the depleted walls on
the outside from the foundation up
wards, and to brace the.cracked walls
to keep them from falling.
Mr.. Mendeleff Advertised for bids
and the contract was let to Stouffer s.
White. They have been at work
about a month and have excavated
and bricked up TO a considerable ex-
tent. The department sent Mr.. II. C.
Rizer, assistant director of the Geo
logical Survey, and he asrived on
Tuesday last from.Washingtol d. c.,
tosuperintend the work.
In due time he will make out his re-
port.approying the work sosfaras Nat
isfactoryS
Astipulation A in the contract is th,it
any objects of interest found within
or about the ruin shall be carefully
preserved and sent to the Department
of Geological Survey. Several objects
Of interest have been already unearth.
cd and preserved by Mr.. StoufTer.
There are several stone hatchets such
as were used by the builders (for Il ey
had no iron or steel Implement in
that agel ln cutting off the joist sew
6raT ollas filed with earth and the
bones of animals, one Of which is i'm
mense-holding before its fracture 20
or % gallons of water. But one Of the
most valuable Of all is a black earthern
bowl OF furnace, OF about . inches in
diameter and the same in height, with
a rattlesuake carved on the outside.
1t sthe opinion Of one gentleman a
resident Of Florence, who has Travelled
in South America, China, Japan and
many islands of the Pacific, that this
interested object was made by the
Chiacse-that they used it for holding
live Goals for ghting p.pes. lie says
he has seen these many times in
China, identical with this. 1t his opin-
ion therefore that this great ruin
and al the adjacent buildings many
hundred years age, forming a large
town, were built by the Chinse; that
they came by the way Of Bchrlng
Straits and returned by the same
route. If this theory is correct we are
ia fair way Of obtaining a solution of
the long mooted question; "Who
we're these Strange people?"
Itis evident that if the government
will make another appropriation suf-
Recent TO cover this ruin and enclose
the tract embracing the other ruins
adjacent and have excavations
made in this tract, de-
viii come to light that
will amply repay all the expenditure,
Mr. Rzer accompanied by Mr..
Burell, The bridge contractor, and
.wo other gentlemen spent last We'd !
lesday at the ruin and were greatly in
crested in the work.
They are Of the opinion that dlscoy-
,ries already made win justifya large |
outlay by the government in prose-
'uting excavations as wellas presery-
ng the ruin from the "gnawings Of
he tooth OF time" and by the hands |
If spectators and yandals.

The depression that exists through
out the southwest is due to the unnat-
ural &, iation OF silver and to the
evil effects caused by that portion Of
the alien act that prohibits the invest
ment of foreign capital ln mining prop
erty in the territories. The object Of
the southwest silver convention that
is to convene on the 10Th day OF Dec
ember, 1891, inEl Paso, Texas, is to
discuss and take steps to remedy
these evils. No other subject but the
silver question and the modification
of the alien act will be entertained by
the convention, and all attempts to
pervert the object OF this mass meet
ing Of miners by the introduction Of
questions foreign to the principles for
which it was called, will be suppress
ed. The restoration of silver to its
normal value Of parity with gold,
1929, and the obliteration Of an un-
just discrimination against the miners
operating in the territories will en-
gage the entire energy and time of
the assembled miners Of the south

The old soldiers of this vicinity are very
| indignant over some remarks attributed te
Warden Michael J. Cassidy, of the Eastern
State Penitentiary. The feeling has reached
such an extent that movement has been
started to effect Warden Cassidy's removal
from Office. Several Grand Army posts have
passed resolutions, and the following from
Colonel John B. Clark Post 162, OF ALLIE
gheny, is sample:
"WHEREAs, On September 80, while
visiting the Western Penitentiary, Michael
j. Cassidy, Warden of the Eastern State
Penitentiary, without just cause or provoca-
ton denounced the soldiers of the late war
as thieves and robbers; said that the pension
laws were fraud on the Government, the
soldiers having went out for the money
there was in it, and that the Government
did not owe them a cent, and made other
remarks unfit for publication and unworthy
Of any citizen of this great State, and es-
pecially one holding the high and honorable
position of said Cassidy; and
Whereas, While it is true the Govern
ment in finding us board and clothes and
paying S13 per month, carried out its part
of the contract, no honest man supposes or
SAYS that it was by these means the great
armies of loyal citizens were raised to
march, fight and perchance die, that the
Government might not perish from th e face
of the earth; and,
Whereas, While the men who for love Of
country, leaving behind all that men hold
dear, thronged to the field and stood as a
mighty barrier between the armed foe and
the nations life, enduring hardships, priva-
tions and death uncomplainingly, this loud
mouthed braggart, who in these latter days
dares to assail the men who did what he
lacked the moral courage to do, was enjoy
ing the comforts of home, the pleasures of
society and friends, his life and limbs in
perfect safety behind the prison walls ofthe
Cherry Hill Penitentiary, in the city of
Philadelphia, as Warden, which position he
has held continuously until the present
time; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the fact that this man,
holding such opinions, and expressing
them in language common with the rabble,
is permitted to fill this Office is disgrace to
the loyal citizens of this grand old Common
wealth, and direct insult to the men who
made it possible for him to live under the
protection of the old flag, and that we
hereby enter our solemn protest against the
further continuance of this man in public
office"

alleged utterances with the following re-
suit:

Taking the riew which is implied in Won

what happened, any friend of Steinmetz
would be able TO make out very good case
:or him. The orders given to Steinmetz
were not 10 seriously attack the French left
until she second army was in o position 10
close upon Bazaine's right. But, if the
partisans of the Red Prince hold Steinmetz
responsible for the unnecessary waste of
life incurred by his beginning the attack
too soon, the reply is obvious; Steinmetz
could not be expected to know anything of
;he six hours delay occasioned by His
Royal Highness' orders for the Twelfth
Corps to form the extreme left Of his army,
tc whica have Just referred. Steinmetz
could not, therefore, be expected to calcu-
late upon such unexpected and unnecessary
siowness OF movement on the part of the
eit OF the second army unJer Prince Fred
Jrick Charles. He naturally calculated it
bad marched at an ordinary pace over the
distance 20 be traversed, and when he at

sumption that it must have long before
