So well is the temper of the United
States known both at home and abroad
that there is not the slightest danger any
responsible power will misunderstood
such patience as may be shown in arriv-
irg at an understanding with Chile. This
country, while in the very nature of its
popular government and by the diSposi-
ton Of its people the most peaceful and
reasonable upon earth, is also the very last
which would submit to intentional insult
or deliberate injury from responsible
quarter. Other countries understand that
fact perfectly il proportion TO their intel
ligence If Chile does not grasp it, the
cause lies in Chilean ignorance.
But it is precisely because the ultimate
course of the United States is fixed before
hand in given circumstances that it be-
hooves whatever of the ''iingo" tendency
there is in certain quarters 10 check itself
into mood of serious moderation. War
is not to be recklessiy desired even with
Chile. Up to The last, allowance should
be made for the fac5 that Chile, Just
emerged from 2 civil conflict and in the
hands Of those who have as yet scarcely
got firm footing as rulers, may, without
any derogation from the dignity of the
United States, be given more time for rep
araton and expression of the regret
than might be accorded if the offensa came
from other directions Above all, the idea
that the United States is to be in any de-
gree impelled to war through the desire of
politicians to make capital, or of naval
officers to win glory, should not have the
least encouragement. The intention of
such spirit exercising an influence at
Washington is in itself a6horrent to the
better sense of the nation.
The moral considerations ultimately in
volved should rule the attitude and action
Of our statesmen; but there is also the ma
terial consideration which the 'jingoes'
would do well to consider, that even Chile,
relatively contemplate as such an antag-
onist would be in ultimate resources
might succeed in doing vast deal Of dam
age before being finally conquered. The
correspondent who in yesterdays DIS
PATCH pointed out the condition of our
navy and the insufficient defenses of our
Scaboard cities did timely service.
Notwithstanding all the preparations
and the belligerent talk the likelihood is
as an hundred to one that there will be no
hostilities. But if occasion for hostility
come, it will be much more creditable to
this nation and in accord with the feelings
of our people, that it come as virtual ne
cessity rather than that it be encouraged
as something desirable in itself. The tone
of some of the papers which have been
clamoring for immediate declarations
against the Chileans is in no sense to be
commended. Mr.. Blaine, who has never
been accused of want of spirit in his for
eign policy, expresses much better the ma
tional feeling in refusing to give the en-
couragement to the idea that hostilities are
either probable or desirable.

CRETACEOUS FOSSILS.
Blue Mountain Explorers Secure Thousands
of Specimens.

Blue Mountain Explorers Secure Thousands
of Specimens.
HEPNER, ORE, Jan. ia party OF explor-
ers who have been spending the entire year
in the Blue Mountains south of here have
just come in to remain until the snow goes
off again next spring They have been sent
out by museum in the East to search for
fossils, and from the specimens they exhibit
and the story they tell they have a veritable
beginning ground of animals and birds
which are now extinct. The gentlemen
have secured over 600 specimens of cretace-
Gus fossils, and will spend the winter in
classifying and packing them for shipment
East. 1t is claimed by paleontologists that
fossil bones of birds are very rare and in no
instance previously has there been perfect
specimen obtained. South of the Blue Noun
tainS is what is known as Sage Brush Desert
and in this desert is a small lake called Fos-
sill Lake. This lake is in the midst of q scene
which, for wild desolation and weird pictur-
esqueness, las not its equal probably i'll the
world. To the south and east stretches the
barren, waterless waste of the DESERT while
to the northeast rise the desolate heights of
Wagontire Mountains.
These mountains receive their names from
the finding of the tires of the wagons of tho
last emigrants whose bones whitened on the
sands of the plain. Few hunters dare to
cross this dreary waste of, $50 miles in di-
ameter for the springs are few and hard to
find. IG was in this desert that the DarIy
made it's headquarters during the past year,
and it was here that they brought to light
the strangest lot of fossils the world has ever
seen. Such is the condition of the eartn,
air and water that the bones of extinct
animals and birds have been kept intact for
centuries, and now come forward to con-
found the theories of savants who have ex-
pounded learnedly on fossil remains and
from single bone constructed whole ami
mails.
In the shifting sands about the stones of
fl,n Sn1t1 1al 10 thn In oil
81 specimens of birds and 62 of animals were
found, while mingled with tie bones were
spear and arrow heads which had been
clipped out of volcanic glass by human be-
ings. 1t is an evident fact that the savage
man was here when some of these animals
lived, for there was found embedded in the
thigh bones of q mammoth an arrow head
made of this volcanic glass; The place
where these bones are found Is known
among the ranchmen of the country
rs "the bone yard" but until scientific re-
search was made it was always supposed
that the remains were those of recent ami

JUDGE ACHEsoN,s RULING.

The summary of Judge Acheson's de-
cision in the application of the Inter
State Commerce Commission to enforce
its order against the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road reveals points which were not given
in the telegraphic report and puts some
what different phase on it. The gist of
the ruling is that the findings of fact and
the points of law decided by the Com
mission are not regarded by the Court as
conclusive in its proceeding, and the ques-
ton must be reinquired into and passed
upon by the Court. But the ruling recog-
nizes this difference from an original in
quiry, that the burden of proof does not
rest upon the complainants in the case,
but the finding of the Com mission es-
tablishes prima tacSe case and places on
the railroad the burden of overcoming its
conclusion and establishing the reason-
ableness and impartiality of its freight
charges.
While this decision does not seem to

They Mean What They Say.

Esl
The Pittsburg newsboys have arisen in
wrath against the reformers who propose to
prohibit the sale of Sunday newspapers.
The Newsboys' Union has adopted resolu-
tions protesting against being "flimmed"
out of their work, and calling upon the peo-
pie of Pittsburg the Eighteenth Regiment
and the "Boss of the State' to protect the
newsboys from "them fellows what want to
get our money under an ordinance passed
before the slaves were freed" They fur
ther declare that they will sell Sunday
papers as long as they are out Of Jail, or un-
til the "Law and Order people get soaked" "
and they call upon labor people. who are
older and bigger,t to help them in their flight
to keep their rights and liberties" This
means war, and the reformers would do
well to see that the contest is not carried to
the point when, as'the boys threaten, they
may get soaked" 1t will be some weeks
before the rivers and ponds are comfortably
warm. They should think of their Sunday
clothes, too. Boys, when aroused in de-
fense of their rights and liberties" are
tough customers to encounter. The vigor-
GUS resolutions of the newsboys are not
quite in accord with the rules o! Lindley
Murray, but all the same, they mean what
they say.

THE BLUE LAW CRUSADE.
The Game That Is Being Played.

Detroit News.]
The GAINESVILLE, O., Ministerial Association
has just attacked one Sunday problem in
the right way. Instead of calling on the
Mayor to break up Sunday professions, the
ministers simply pledge themselves not to
attend funerals on Sunday accompanied Dy
brass bands and other snowy demonstra-
tions Of course this action will not affect
sunday professions, but it does not invade
anybody's rights. There is great moral
dlference between "freeze OUT ana
KNOCK out" The last mentioned game IS
now being played in Pittsburg by the Law
and Order Society. Wholesale arrests are
being made of newsdealers, carriers ana
newsboys, with the view of breaking up the
Sunday morning newspaper. The result
will scarcely be watched with interest. for
there is as little prospect of destroying the
Sunday newspaper as there would be of
closing all the hotels. Those ovcr-plous
people who make these periodical attacks
on the Sunday newspapers have been en-
lightened again and again on the rationale
of the Sunday publication of the news, but
they perversely neglect to retain their light
and return to the assault about every SO
often. After all, it is a less dangerous form
of crankism than some others now in vogue.

Impeding the Cause of Law and Order.

1t is rumored that society formed to pro-
mote law and order, which has recently op-
posed the circulation of Sunday papers in
Pittsburg, seeks to extend it's operations.
The Sunday newspaper, properly conducted,
is refining agency. appropriate 20 the in

A LUCKY FIND OF MONEY.
Boys Unearth $4,000 Near a Tree Where a
Man Was Lynched.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19.-Considerable ex.
citement has been occasioned near Bedford,
this State, by the finding of 81, 900 in green
backs at the roots of tree on which
Stephen Clark was hanged by mob several
years ago. 1t was supposed that Clark had
hidden large sums OF money, and the boys
in tie neiglborhood have from time to time
gone searching for it. Last night Clark's
widow WAS awakened by the light Of a
lantern under tree in her yard, and dis
covered some boys at work with pick.
They dug about two feet into the ground
and found an old coat. After unrolling it,
they discovered revolver, some counter
feiting moulds, ana $4,000 in greenbacks.
Clark was hanged on the same tree, and
after his death the remains OF five men and
one woman were found in a cave near his
home. They are believed to have been MUIR
-derod by him.

ABRAHAM LINCoLN's proposal of mar
riage as unearthed by Mr.. Jesse Welk, his
latest biographer, is one of the most re-
markable love letters on record. There is
no word of love or marriage in the whole
production. To a thoughtless reader
1t would appear strangely cold and careless,
but it breathes throughout sincerity of
consideration for the happiness of the
woman he loved which is peculiar for its
utter unselfshness.

MIXED AT THE FONT.
The Priest Did Not Know Which Baby Had
Been Baptized.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19-One of the queerest in
cidents that ever befel q Catholic priest in
the performance of his duties occurred at
the old Cathedral not more than a week ago
and was witnessed by a large crowd who
were viewing the decorations. The ba ptismal
ceremony was being performed ut the font
and the recipients OF the sacrament were
pair of lusty-lunged twins. One of the
youngsters had come into the world weakly
and was baptized instantly by an attendant.
The priest got wind of the matter and
when the time came for performing the eere-
mony asked the godmother which was the
regenerated babe. CONSERVATION reigned
supreme. The twins had got hopelessly
mixed, as usual, and the similarity of an
pearance rendered Identification impossible.
The nurse was called in and eyed the babies
for birthmarks, but gave it up in despair.
The priest ended the dilemma by giving
both the youngsters conditional baptism.
and the family went home satisfied.

STRANGE MIRAGE IN THE ROCKIES
II Has Started an Indian Scare Among the
Montana People.

BUTTE, Mon, Jan. ia wonderful mirage
was distinctly visible near Lewiston, Mon,
on Sunday afternoon. 1t has caused consid-
cradle alarm, however, because it seems to
show that the Indians have started on the
warpath and encountered party of hunters.
Through the Vistas hunters and red men
could be seen repeatedly to charge and re-
sunpIied with ammunition and finally sue
ceeded in capturing party of dozen
hunters.
effect produced by the mirage assert that
they could distinctly see the savages build
piles of fagots and burn their captiyes ut the
stake. Midwinter mirages in the clear crisp
atmosphere of the Rockies are rare. So far
as can vet be ascertained the Indians on the
reservation are peaceable, and it Is hard to
tell whether the mirage OF the people who
witnessed it did the lying.

This Sunday Paper Has Come to Stay.

ms Sundsy faper has come TO stay.
Sharpsburg Herald.l
The Pittsburg Law and Order Society as it
is now composed, consists ofthree foreigners
of the rule or ruin kind. They have deter
mined that they will make Americans who
were born and raised in this community, do
as they dictate. They have ordered suits
against the Sunday newspapers, apurely
American Institution, that are read by mil
lions Of American people. They would de-
pr1ve the American of the American Sunday,
and force them to observe only the Scotch
Irish Sabbath, according to the Scotca-Irish
idea. Now it is high time that the American
people were showing these foreign inter-
lopers that they will stand no dictation from
them, and if they are not satisfied with our
American institutions to pack their grips
and get back to their own lands, where they
may be permitted to practice their narrow,
bigotted ideas without Interference, as the
Sunday paper has come to stay.

PITTsBURG's SMOKY AIR
Hope Is Expressed That Mr.. Carnegie's
Opinion l. Correct.

Philadelphia 1nquirer.1
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie thinks that if the
use of bituminous coal were prohibited in
the mills and glass houses of Pittsburg the
smoke nuisance would be abolished. He
has advanced the view that coke or gas
made from the coal could be used as cheaply
rs the coal, and, therefore, that the use of
coal ought to be stopped. Mr.. Andrew Met
calf replies to MI Carnegie by saying that if
the advice of the latter were carried out the
mill owners would be ruined.
He says that Pittsburg can be made a
smokeless city, but when it becomes so
there will be no iron works, no glass works
and no mechanics there. We hope that Mr..
Carnegie is right and DIr. Metcalf wrong,
that some way will be discovered, either by
the use of gas from coal or by some other
method, to relieve Pittsburg of the smoke
nuisance which has again settled upon it.

NEWARK, DEL, Jan. l9.-At a meeting of
the Newcastle County Farmers Institute at
Delaware College, at which were present
several hundred farmers, there was a dis
cussion on tuberculosis or consumption in
milch cows.
Two live cows afflicted with tuberculosis
were shown and then killed and dissected
by State Veterinarian Evers, who ex-
planned the characteristic symptoms during
life and showed the diseased parts after
death. All the physicians, veterinarians
and farmers present agreed that the dis
ease was being constantly transmitted from
beast to man by the use OF the meat and
milk of diseased animals.
