A Scientists Story Of a Wonderful
Conversation.

Professor r. L. Garner has long
studied the apes and monkeys In the
geological gardens aud made most OF his
observg ions in Chicago, Cincinnati,
New York aud Washington. In the lat
ter city, in company with DIR. Frank
Baker, Of the National 200, he separ-
ated two monkeys which had been Gagged
together, and placed them in different
rooms. Then he arranged phonograph
In front OF one monkey, which recorded
its chattering. This was recled of to
the other monkey, which gave evidence
Of the greatest surprise and perplexity.
la Chicago, at the geological department
Of Lincoln Park, splendid records were
made upon the phonograph, which Prof.
Garner studied with diligence until he
had mastered a few Of the sounds. He
then proposed to try the experiment
which he thus describes:
Having described to some friends
who were with me the word would use,
| stood for awhile with my side turned
to the cage containing capuchin monkey
tcebus capucinus). | uttered the word
or sound which had translated milk
NV first effort caught his ear and caused
him to turn aud look at me. On repeat

word had used, and then turned to a
small pan kept In the cage for him to
drink from. repeated the word again,
and he placed the pan near the front Of
the cage and came quite up to the bars
and uttered the word. ] had not shown
him any milk or anything Of the kind.
But the man in charge then brought me
some milk, which gave TO the monkey,
and he drank It with great zest, then
looked at me, held up the pan and re-
peated the sound three or four times.
II gave him more milk and thus con-
tinued till was quite sure he used the
same sound each time he wanted milk.
next described TO the friends who were
with mo word which was very hard to
render we'll, but translated 1t to cat.

Repeated tests showed TO me
z the same word for apple,
"A anu DahAnA. hence con-
oaat Il meant food or hunger
ITO eat. n
Garner concludes that the capu-
chin monkey Is the caucasian Of the
monkey race, for the chimpanzee and
other species have less variety in their
sounds. Some Of Prof. Gamers conelu-
sions are: 'srhe siinian tongue has about
eight or nine sounds, which may be
changed by meditation into three OF
four hines that number. They seem "a
be half way between whistle and pure
vocal sound and have range of four oc.
taves and all chord with II sharp on the
piano. Each race or kind has Its own
peculiar tongue, slightly shaded into
dialects, and the radical or cardinal
sounds do not have the same meaning 10
all tongues. When Gagged together ono
monkey will learn to understand the
language Of another kind. but does not
try to speak il. His replies are in his
own vernacular. Simians reason from
cause to effect and their reasoning differs
from that Of man in degree but not in
kind" and, finally, ''the state Of their
language seems to correspond with theiI
power to think and to express their
thoughts."

WHAT 1T S

The emphasis which the policy of re-
venge received at the hands and throats
of the Partisan mob during the recent
visit of the Empress Frederick to the
French capital recalls the heavy bur-
dens which the ambition of continental
rulers is laying upon the shoulders of
their already over -burdened peoples.
The mere thought of them should cause
every inhabitant OF the United States
to rejoice that he is an American citi-
zen and that he dwells under the Stars
end Stripes. In England, the marine
expenditure has risen from $4,000 900
in 1871 to ~56S,220,OOO in the year of
grace 1889. Germany has been seized
with the fever of becoming a great naval
power and, in the words Of the ~illustri-
GUS statesman just dead, the govern
ment's proposals have created terror
throughout Germany" The army of
the fatherland, the most effective in
Europe, s kept in constant readiness at
an enormous cost for each and every
eventuality, and now It is proposed to
raise the navy to a level of equality with
that maintained by England. We can
not help wondering how much longer
the country viii stand the strain, and
how many years will elapse before an
indignant nation rises in it's might and
insists upon a root and branch reforma-
ton. Twelve million dollars were OK
pended by the German naval authori
ties in 1889, and the proposed increase
leaves that expenditure out of sight

THE CHARTER.

This is charter week. The vote on
the proposed change in the form of our
city government takes place one week
from to-day. Every good citizen should
read and discuss the new instrument SO
as to cast his vote intelligently. THE
INDEPENDENT Is contributing to this
end by publishing interviews on the
subject with our leading citizens, who
are in the habit of doing their own
thinking. Thus far the weight of opin-
ion among intelligent men is strongly in
favor OF the new charter as a move in
the direction of progress, improvement,
pure and better government. But we
warn those citizens who take this stand
that the reforms they favor run up
against the prejudice of the ignorant
and interfere with the designs and am
billions of political schemers. The power
of ignorance led by s%elfshness must not
be underrate6. Unorganized good in
tentions stand no show in a tussle with
such a combination. If the election
next Monday is carried for the charter
there must be thorough organization
and an effective canvass The wards

1t is impossible at this time and dis

quent occurrence there. The populace
is largely drawn from the Latin races
of Paris itself. The character of the
leaders in the mob proceeding against
the imprisoned Sicilians on Saturday,
however, is such as to strengthen the
opinion, until further details are
learned, that if such a proceeding is
aver just,fiable in a civilized community
this one was. Leaders of the bar, bust
ness men of character and standing in
the community, do not lightly brush
aside the forms of law and put impris-
oned mel to death. Such men as those
who led the mob could have been ami
mated by no less motive than the belief
that public safety had been endangered
by the %acquittal of the supposed MUIR
derers. Our dispatches indicate that
the verdict of the jury was everywhere
regarded in the community as a miscar-
rage Of justice. Public opinion seems
to have been divided as to whether the
jurors we're bribed by a corruption fund
disbursed by jury 'hxers' on behalf of
the Malta, or whether they were intimi-
dated by threats of meeting Hennessy's
fate at the hands of secret assessins.
At any rate, popular condemnation of
the verdict found swift and terrible ex-
preston at the hands OF the mob. It is
a deplorable state of affairs to
exist in a land of law and
order, and it is hoped that the
reign of the mob will quickly pass away.
A few years ago a mob in Cincinnati, in
an outburst of popular wrath, sacked
and fired the court house as a protest
and q warning against corrupt practices
in the courts. Reforms swiftly followed
this uprising. Let us hope the New
Orleans outbreak may bring about like
desirable results.

Our highly esteemed contemporary,
the Butte Miner, muses. thus on the
greatness Of the camp:
Here indeed is The city of destiny, for
within her own palm her destiny she holds.
She looks not with misty vision into an un-
certain future; for her there are no doubts
or fears; she needs not the services of the
prophet or the real estate c~lalrvoyant; her
glory shines lot from the emblazoned but
ephemeral %panegyrics of the boomer, but
from the royal and substantial luster of her
priceless mines.
1t is cruel to interrupt this fight of
but we beg leave to ask for
further details. Did Hutchinson leave
the vision of Butte misty or not? This
matter of smoke should be cleared
away in order to better distinguish the
shining qualities of the glory.

SYMMETRY of growth should be the
%watchword in developing the resources
Of city and state. The old miner will
tell you that it is all nonsense to talk of
agriculture in Montana, that it will al
ways be- a mining state. He is dead
wrong. The agricultural products of
Colorado equal in value the output of
her mines, and Montana's agricultural
possibilities are greater. The old stock
grower will tell you that Montana is
nothing but q grazing state. He will
see the day when a man with a small
fruit ranch near Helena, or a man with
forty acres in sugar beets wouldn't
change places with the most favored
stockgrower whose herds roam on the
unfenced ranges.

The New Senate.

The close of the senatorial contest in Illi-
nois removes all doubt as to the standing of
each of the parties in the senate of the Fiji
ty-second congress. All the regular cleo
ions have now been held except the one in
Florida, and in that state there is no doubt
as to the partisan complexion of the man
to be chosen, as the democrats are strongly
in the lead in the legislature, says the
Globe-Democrat. In the special election in
California to fill the vacancy caused by SEN
ator Hearst's death a republican will sue
coed a democrat, and the successor to the
dead democratic Senator Wilson. OF Mary
land, will be a democrat.
There have been three changes from re-
publicans to democrats in the regular cleo
tions. Gov. Hill replaces w. M. Evarts in
New York, w. +. Villas follows John c..
Spooner in Wisconsin, and John M. Pal
mer succeeds Charles j. Farwell in Illinois.
These are the direct partisan transforma-
tions which have taken place. In two other
states-Kansas and South Dakota-there
are changes from republicans to Farmers
alliance men. Potter, in the former, sue
ceeds John j. Ingalls,, and Kyle, in the lat
ter, takes the place of Gideon G. Moody.
In the senate which stepped down last
week the republicans had ffty-one men,
bers and the democrats thirty-seven, a re-
publican majority of fourteen. In the SEN
ate which meets this year the republicans,
after allowing for the gain in California,
will have forty-seven, the democrats thirty
nine, and the farmers alliance two. Irby,
it must be understood, who WAS chosen by
the alliance in South Carolina to succeed
Hampton, has returned to his old party. the
democracy, II is to be counted as a dem
ocrat in partisan classification Of senator's.
The republicans, therefore, will lave q lead
of eight over the democrats in the next
senate, and of six over both democrats and
alliance men. This is a small margin for
the republicans compared with the recent
one, but it is as broad as they have had IN
the average since the close of reconstruc-
ton days.
