MOUNTAIN ClIM N
The Safety Of h Many Bought by tho
DEATH Of the Few.

IJ0nVu Oh inc teWs
All crafts depend upon knowledge and
acquired skill-knowledge of the ms
terial to be handled, acquired skill in tho
handling Of the material. Pioneers IL
mountaineering had first to learn what
mountains actually are like, the details
Of their structure, and the forces in ac-
ton upon them. Rock structure, which
has meaning for a %geologist, has
others for o m~ountaineer. One kind of
mountain masonry forms ridges and
gullies, another forms lodges and preci-
pieces. One texture and dip makes stair
cases that can be rushed, another makes
slabs that can scarcely be adhered to.
One kind Of substance is firm and trust
worthy, another IL friable and treacher-
GUS to hand and foot. If there was so
much to be learned about rocks. M
and ice were at first far more unknown.
The anatomy Of glaciers had to be dis
covered, the secrets Of crevasse forma-
ton to be learned. There were the
varied phenomena implied in the phrase,
estate Of the snow" to be understood.
Both foot and eye had to be trained to
recognize by feel and glance what the
estate Of the snow" at any time might
be. Avalanches had to be investigated
%avalanches Of snow, ice and rock--when
they might be expected to fall, where
they were to be looked for, how far they
would go. Climbers had to learn to
distinguish afar off between snow and
ice slopes. Moreover, the tools Of noun
taineering had to be invented. Many
were tried and discarded; a few were re-
tanned and improved. The form Of the
ak was slowly evolved and its uses
learned. The way to employ the rope
was q yet more difficult discovery. Even
now the proper form for climbing irons
is only being arrived at.
Accidents, usually fatal, were the
lessons wherefrom these facts were de-
rived. The great Matterhorn accident
finally demonstrated how the rope
should be used and proved that large
parties were q source Of danger. The
Lyskamm accident showed the peril of
c~ornices. Unroped climbers met their
death on many mountains. From al.
most every accident something was
learned. The safety Of the many has
been bought by the death Of the few.
We can now plunge into the world OF
snow without undue peril. We know
its dangers and can guard against them
we know also when we are safe and
where we can freely go. Our forerun'
ners went aloft as neolithic navigator:
put to sea-badly equipped and into .
misunderstood region. W. are now OF
the footing Of the modern sailor. Snow
as such, has no more terrors for us thar
sea for them. Ill luck may overtak'
us, and VIC may fall, as they may b'
drowned, but with good equipment ant
experience the climber and seafarer ar
about as safe as the townsman at home

LET THE LIGHT IN.

Probably the chairman of the DEM
ocratic state central committee already
begins to realize that the little seed he
put in to political ground when he in
troduced the bill to investigate the Sol
diers' Home at Bristol did not find the
most fallow earth.
The readiness with which the COVER
nor took the matter up and insisted
that the investigation be pressed, was
probably a disagreeable surprise to the
Democrats who are engaged in desper-
ate hunt for issues.
The governor has looked into the
Bristol Home complaints with some
thoroughness and is probably satisfied
as to what foundation there is for them.
But he would not shrink from the in
vestigation if he was not informed.
He is not that kind of governor.
II the Democrats imagined that they
were issuing challenge that there
would be hesitancy in accepting they
were wofully self deceived. There is
nothing connected with the administra-
tion of the state government that the
Republicans desire to cover up, or
fear to have fully and searchingly
investigated. If the Democrats think
there is, they are at liberty to advertise
to the people the peculiar bent of their
minds by poking around for an odorous
matter. They will inevitably meet the
fate that always overtakes such politi-
cal scavengers. They will get the
odium of having entertained the sus-
picion of corruption, and the Repnbli-
cans will get the credit of having their
enemies prove that their skirts ar g
clean.

QUEER CUSTOMS.
Corpses Are Always Kept for Three
Months In Borneo.

Corpses Are Always Kept for Three
Months In Borneo.
Mr.. Charles Hose, the British resident
of the Basam district in Bo-neo, has
just sent to the royal geographical So
ciety an interesting account Of some Of
the native customs which he learned in
his journey in Saramat. After sleeping
in chiefs house one evening he found
at the head OF his bed box containing
the dead body of his hosts wife II
appears, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
that the natives always keep corpses
for three months. The body is then re-
moved from the house and conveyed
with much ceremony TO the tomb.
Every one present sends one or more
cigarettes made of tobacco, wrapped in
the dry leaves of the wild banana, TO
his dead relatives in APO Leggan"
(hades). These cigarettes are placed
on top of and around the coffin; and.
should the body be that of a man,
his weapons, tools and small
quantity of rice, with his "priok"
cooking pot), are deposited In the
tomb with him that he may be able to
commune MS daily pursuits In the Otner
world. But IL Of woman, her largo
sun-hat, her little hoe-used for weed
ing in tho paddy-felds-her beads, car
rings and other finery are placed with
her body. that she may not be found
wanting on her arrival on the other
side Of the grave. Mr.. Hose once was
present when the corpse of boy was
placed in the coffin, and he watched the
proceedings from q short distance. As
the lid of the coffin was closed an old
man came out on the veranda of the
house with a large gong and solemnly
beat ii for several seconds. The chief
said that this was always done before
closing the Ind. that the relations of the
dead who had already passed out Of
this world might know that the spirit
was coming to join them There was
another strange ceremony called
"Dayong Janoi," in which the dead are
supposed to send messages to the liv-
ing, and which proved that spiritual
ism" was of very ancient practice
among them.

land. and makes IL quite clear that the
New Haven and its friends are actually
arbiters of its fate.
Other recent events have made 1t ap-
parent that Mr.. Mcleod, the president
of the Reading and the manipulation OF
the big combine that sought to force up
the price of coal and recoup the depleted
treasury of the Reading from the pockets
Of the people, is also at the mercy OF
some friendly alliance that is now able
to decide the fate of New England.
What the ultimate outcome Of the
present condition will be it is as difficult
to predict as it always is to foresee or
foretell railroad policy, but these recent
events have very strikingly verified
the prediction several times made by
the News that the New Haven road
would finally be in a posi- tion to arbi-
.trarily dictate the policy of New Eng
land, or to acquire it upon its own
terms.
Such fate for the property that has
at times shown indications of being
capable of fate far better for itself
and more useful to the public suggests
certain measure of regret that the
bright promises and anticipations have
not been more fully realized, and that
the future seems to justify no hope that
the manifest destiny" of the road
bids fair to be substantially ignored by
the fates that arbitrate railroad destiny.
1t is perfectly competent to suppose
that the New Haven road, now that it
is in almost absolute control of the
whole of New England south of the
Boston and Albany, will develop the
territory to the full extent of its possi-
bilities and give its interests that intel
ligent support a wise railroad policy
dictates. 1t is somewhat too early to
ascertain whether this will prove to be
the case or not. The New Haven has
suddenly taken on great responsible
ties and must be given time to adjust
itself to the new conditions.

TIME TO KNOW SOMETHING.

1t is not fair to expect performan C Q
from the new administration at this
early stage of it's career. Promise,
however, may be looked for.
SO far as has appeared, there is no
promise of anything whatever, unless
the suspicion that Secretary Carlisle is
preparing to issue bonds may be re
garded as a promise.
Mr.. Cleveland and his advisers prob
ably know their business, but they
would find the country feeling more
kindly toward them if it knew approx
mately what to expect along the lines
of formative and fundamental policy.
Industry and trade cannot settle down
to wonted business conditions unless 1t
is understood what is to be expected in
the way of tariff and fiscal legislation.
II is time for the public to be taken
into the confidence of the President
and his cabinet.

II is not necessary to discuss the
merits or demerits of the proposed in
vestigation of the Soldiers Home at
Bristol. Probably no one expects any
result from 1t other than a vindication
of the present managers and the state
board Of soldiers relief.
Aside from this phase of the question
there was point brought ont yesterday
in the House that is worthy of atten-
tion. 1t suggested the influence of the
governor in legislation.
In the early stages of the discussion
yesterday relating to the investigation
of the Soldiers Home, it appeared that
the maj was very largely opposed
to II.
1t appeared to be entirely unneces-
sary. 1t was also earnestly and logi-
cally argued that to order an investiga-
tion now while one was already pend
ing by the state board of relief was to
cast reflection on that board an d upon
the governor. Some of the petitions
seemed to be from men whose COM
plants were scarcely worthy of atten-
tion. These were valid arguments. and
ordinarily they would have prevailed.
What were the arguments on the
other side? Simply the statement by
one Of the members that the governor
himself was not afraid of the investiga-
tion that he was willing and ready 10
aid such a committee to the fullest
extent Of his power, and finally that he
preferred that the investigation should
take place In order to vindicate the
course of himself and the board. To
put 1t briefly, the governor wants sim
ply the truth, and the whole truth, and
he wants that truth made plain beyond
the shadow OF doubt by an investiga-
ton.
The vote showed thirty-nine in favo r
and seven against. That vote is the
highest tribute that has ever been paid
to the power Of the governor OF this
state. 1t Is ample proof that a gov.
ernor who has good Judgment and
commands the respect of the General
Assembly can carry through almost any
lsgislation that he favors.
The governor may not have positive
power in either vote or a veto. but n,
has weight among Legislators, Just a,
he has weight in a community, by the
force Of his character.

GOOD BYE. SNOW.

The rain that is falling so steadily to-
day means that the earth will soon be
freed from the snow.
It's departure is far more welcome
than its coming was. Cities have no
love for snow, especially when it comes
in such quantities. The country bene-
fits by it, and next season, when the
city deals with the farmer for his cur
rent crops, the city will realize that a
good body of snow OH the ground in
winter has its advantages.
Just now. however, we are very well
pleased TO see the beautiful snow lique-
fed by the rain and wash itself away
down the manholes into the sewers.
