the Incas, have been discovered while
clearing the ground for small place ON
one of the afiiuents of the upper Mara

halls and smaller chambers. The plan
and the painted inscriptions resemble
what has been found in other places a.

pies.
Hence it is inferred that this also was
similar temple. Several buildings OF
this kind have been found scattered crer

and floods bearing quantities Of sand
from the Cordillerxs covered over the
remains, 10 be succeeded later by a
growth of shrubs, and even trees, quite

been moved by this recent discovery. and

Tennessee Mrs. Polk was with him in
Washington every winter but one, and oc-
cupied very honored position in the So
cietI' of that city.
As mistress of the White House she in
troduced a slightly stricter regime than
had previously prevailed, dancing being
discontinued and other changes made, but
the American people enthusiastically APP
proved of her course. She united with the
Presbyterian church early in life and was
ever a consistent observer of its rules.

are conclusive as to the disastrous eff

can tin-plates has not been equal to
one-third Of the amount imported dur
ing some one of the fiscal years be-
tween 81 and '97 the old duty is to be
re-established. So that American
manufacturers are bestirring them
selves to produce at least one-third of
all the tin-plates used in this country
before the expiration of the fiscal year
1912. The British makers are like
ly to try to prevent this by dumping
their products upon our shores at the
lowest margin of profit, or, possibly,
without any profit. So that it is like
ly that tin-plate may be selling at very
low figures twelve months hence. But
that the American makers will hold
their own is certain, provided that one
branch of the government continue to
be Republican and opposed to the re-
peal of the clause increasing the duty.
Two tin-plate mills already are active
ly at work in Pennsylvania, one in
Illinois, and one in st. Louis. By July
next mill will be at work in Cleye-
land, Ohio, and during that month
the ST. Louis company will put new
mill to work. Brooklyn will have a
mill in operation by April next. And
two, at least, in Illinois, one in Kan
sas City, one in Maryland, one in Vir-
ginia, and one in Indiana are projected.

THE END.


The Minnesota legislature adjourn
ed at noon Monday, and the people can
now breathe easier. There has been
cause for no little uneasiness on the
part of the people since the legisla-
ture convened in January, because OF
the fear that some vicious legislation
might be enacted. Several bills OF
drastic character were introduced and
babe fair to be enacted into law, but
thanks to the more considerate and
reasoning element they were either
voted down or kept so low on the
calendar as to die by virtue Of a fail
ure to receive hearing.
The appropriations exceed by about
$3.50, 600 those made by any previous
legislature, and it goes without say
ing that some of these are eXtraya-
gantly large, while others might have
easily been dispensed with. AS re-
suit the assessment levy will have to
be nearly doubled, and an extra bur
den placed upon the shoulders of tax
payers. For this, the only response
BILE parties are the Democrats and AL
lance. They organized both branch
es. They had the majority on every
important committee in the House
and Senate, and under the compact
entered into at the opening of the ses-
sion whereby they formed combina-
tion, to run things, they cannot now
shirk the responsibility for having in
volyed the taxpayers with largely in
creased burdens. The defeat of the
Currier railroad bill as originally in
troduced was blessing. The killing
of the usury bin will prove God-send
to the people. The improvement
made in the election law is in the
right direction. Over two thousand
bills were introduced, bat less than
one-half of these will become law.
The amendments to the constitution
to be submitted at the next general
election, will cause more than usual
interest-especially that in regard to
the taxation Of telegraph and tele-
phone lines. The one prohibiting
special legislation is also of prime i'm
pUrtance.
The legislature, now no more,
will go down in history as one
of the most unique bodies ever consti-
tuted in any State. It's pretentions
Of reform" were a sham of the worst
sort, and it has proved itself the most
extravaganza we ever had.

eApOAAo
The Alliance men, in particular,
should now descend from the high
horse they have been riding for some
months and admit that it is easier to
stand off and criticise and promise
than to do better than that which is
criticised. They must admit that it
is easier for Donnelly and Fish to
eructate reform and economy through
the broad measure of the Great Vests
columns than for Donnelly to show
the ordinary qualities of mediocre
legislator and leader in the senate.
They must admit that it is a good
thing for the farmers and the state
that the Currier railroad bill, the US
ury bill, the mortgage taxing bill and
other similar unreasonable and injuri-
Gus measures failed. They must ad-
nit that it is perilous thing to be
too confident of ones powers to direct
the affairs of state. They ought to
return home sadder but wiser men.
Indeed, it is as likely good many
of them will dread the home. coming
ordeal for obvious reasons. They may
go in by the back gate.

THIS was reform" legislature
with great big ''R." Taxation has
been increased from IL mills to 2
the largest in the history of the State.
How do the farmers enjoy the situa-
tion? Those who voted to. turn the le-
gislature over to the Democratic-Alll-
ance combine, can now, lat their leisure,
ponder over the folly of such indiscre-
ton. They will have to come up and
pay for their experiment. It's a dear
lesson, but it may prove a valuable
one in the end.
