Importers of British goods for which there is an established demand in the United States say that there will be no reduction in prices to correspond with the reduction of tariff duties. On the contrary, foreign manufacturers of standard goods and of all specialties will exactly gauge their demands to former trade prices obtainable here, thus pocketing the difference. Three cheers for tariff reform!

The government fish commission has done a good thing for the Pacific coast. The rivers of the Pacific coast formerly contained no shad, but in 1876 the fish commission carried a quantity of shad fry across the coun- try and placed them in the Columbia and other rivers. The fish propagated to such an extent that in 1892 the num- ber of shad caught on the coast of California was 526424, and 212,35O more were taken i'm the Columbia river. The total catch of shad for 1892 on the Pacific coast was in excess of the num- Der caught off Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and it nearly equalled the catch of South Carolina.

Referring to the warmer climate which existed at one time all over the earth, Sir William Thompson says: "The earth might be globe of white hot iron, covered with crust of rock 2,O0O feet thick, or there might be an ice cold temperature within fifty feet of the surface, yet the climate could not on that account be sensibly different from what it is, or the soil be sensi- bly more or less genial than it is for the roots of trees or smaller plants" |" Manifestly, therefore, the duration of life upon the surface can in no way be dependent upon the length or intensity of heat supply from the interior. This, it is claimed. could not at the present time melt millimeter thickness of ice.
 Lawyer Semple, of New Jersey claims that his client, one Lambert, is legally dead and therefore cannot be hanged, as the court has ordered, on January 8. Lambert was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged December 13. Semple induced the governor to reprieve his client December 4, in order to give the board of pardons time to review his case. Now Semple asks the court to discharge Lambert, on the ground that the<governor acted illegally in granting the reprieve, because to be legal re- prieve must be granted withing 90 days from the date of execution, and Lam- bert's reprieve was granted after that 90-day limit had expired. The stay be- ing invalid. and the legal date of exe- cution having passed, Lambert, Semple claims, is beyond control of the law.

sons in Plainiield, N. j The first
thing of any Importance done by her
was her Illustrations of Camp
Life in the Adirondacks, year
ago. Since then she has been rap
idly rising into prominence. Last
winter her work consisted chiefly
of head and tail pieces and in
itial letters. Several of the covers
of the Christian Union (the Outlook
were designed by her. Her forte
will undoubtedly be figures, the pose

Harte is tall and graceful With re-
markably fine carriage. She has
blue eyes, set under heavy, straight
black brows. Her coloring is dainty

For Organized Am;abiIity.

Everything now tends to organi-
cation. There have been recent in
stances of organized suicide, of low
ers, women friends and of father.
mother and daughter but few
weeks ago in France. That amiabil-
ity which was commented on not
long agoas one of the later and more
admirable fashions offers but another
proof. Organized amiability is a
feature of fashionable life. One
instance is the determination of sew
eral leaders in fashionable society to
open their doors to poor but deserv-
ing persons of their set. The prev
alence of new names in fashionable
lists has been remarked These are
the indications of this more gracious
and kindly spirit. Several women
of fashion are getting up early dances
for the benefit of young men who
have to work for a living. Only men
of leisure can stand the strain of
fashionable hours. But there are
many honest young men who dance
well and are otherwise presentable,
yet being due at thGr offices at nine
O'Clock are shut out from social gay
cites. For these are the Cinderella
dances. which break up instead of

Republicans and Prohibition.

Senator Perry, of Iowa, recently
stated that the democratic members OF
the senate and house would not sup
port any bill changing the prohibitory
statutes which did not provide for the
manufacture of alcoholic liquors. He
said that one of the greatest blows
which had been struck at the business
interests of the state was the destruc
tion of the breweries and distilIeries.
70 say nothing of the loss of the very
advantageous market afforded the
farmers in the sale of grain To the
breweries and distilleries, the people
of Iowa had expended millions of dol-
lars for the product of the distillerieS
and breweries of other states which
might as we'll have been kept at home.
Tue crankism OF the republican
party has been worse calamity to the
states of Iowa and Kansas than ali
the drouths. floods, fros s. chinch bugs
md grass'ioppers they ever lad The
democratic is the only party that can
he trusted; the only one that is not
cranky. 1t can always be depended
upon to guard and foster public inter
tstS and protect the individual rights
of man. Every good citizen should
give that party his enthusiastic support.
The republican party is like a horse
that is addicted to running away.
GU can never trust him for he will
sell you out every time he gets a chance
and smash things all to pieces. The
only way to cure horse of running
away is to trade him off. And so the
Standards advice to sensible republic
cans is to swap off old runaway jades
and get an honest, democratic horse
that will stand without hitching and
drive without watching.-Leaven-

MEXICAN CAVES.
Traces in Chihuahua OF a Former
Civiliz cation.
a Millionaire Mormon's Investments and
Discoveries In the south-Numerous
Valuable Relics Found by Gel
ebrsted Belgian Scientist.

Moses Thatcher, the millionaire
apostle and financier of the Mormon
church, has spent many years in ex-
ploring the wild and beautiful lands
of Mexico. He has been an apostle
of the Mormon church since 1879 and
his life has been devoted to the build
ing up Of the kingdom of that church.
In the state of Chihuahua the Sier-
"a Madre mountains, Mr. Thatcher
states, held for him the greatest at
fractions. West of the Casas Grandes
valley, through which flows the Pie
dras Verdes, lovely river, which
connects with the San Miguel in the
lower part of the valley and forms
the Casas Grandes river, there is an
exceedingly beautiful expanse of
country. It is interspersed with
mountains of moderate size, a branch
of the Sierra Madre range, and not
far from where the celebrated Sa-
binal mines are located on the Cor
ralitos ranch. one of the richest re-
gions, pregnant with gold and silver
ore, awaiting the advent of the pros
pector and the iron horse.
Many places l passed through, !"
said the apostle, strongly reminded
me of the placer ground in the Sierra
Nevada mountains, at the head of
the American river. The great SINH
larity of the soil is most pronounced
and all the Indications are almost
idept ical.
'The Mormon colony was the 6rst
to settle in the Sierra Madre range
in this region. They camped right
on the trail of the dreaded Apaches
and named one Of their settlements
Pacheco, after the noted general,
who was secretary of war. The
,AeXicans were astounded at the
boldfess of these pioneers and con-
sidered humiliation inevitable.
In radius of one hundred miles
there is enough masonry to build
two cities the size of San Francisco,
and this tells the tale of a great
civilization that once fiourished
there's I purchased a sitio, or o lit
tie over four thousand acres, of land,
some Dime ago and subsequently
bought up an adjoining tract of
forty weight thousand acres. On part
Of this land I discovered about half
a dozen caves. The entrances were
walled up with cement two and a
half feet thick, with only post holes
and a narrow aperture left sufficient
ly wide to allow one person to enter.
These caves were provided with
ollas, in which water and provisions
were stored, and were formed of
long sacaton grass, mixed with &C.
ment, and were usually about
twelve feet high and eight or uine
feet in width. One was in perfect
preservation.
B 1.-THE caves were divided into
apartments, and one of thenp con-
tanned seventeen rooms. Upon the
walls are still fresh character writ
ings of the ancient inhabitants of
the same class as described in the
Mexican Antiquities by Lord
Kingsbury. The caves on the land
referred to will accommodate fully
one thousand persons, and a celc-
brated Belgian scientist not long ago
found more relics in them than he
had in a search of one hundred and

WOMEN IN OFFICE.
The Methodist Church in England to
Settle an important Question.


A correspondent of the Mauches-
ter Eng.) Guardian writes: 1.-The
Redhill Wesleyan Methodist circuit
has just elected lady, Miss Daw-
son, as one of the circuit stewards
AS such she will be entitled, ex-offi-
clio, to attend the annual district
synod. She is the first lady who has
ever been admitted to those assem-
blies. (which seems probable
the synod should elect her to be a
representative to conference, the
constitutional question will be at
once raised whether woman can be
a member of the conference. In the
constitution adopted when lay rep
reservation Game into operation the
term 'laymen' runs through the doc
ument, and the question will be
raised whether legally this can be
held to include women. The women
leaders of classes are increasingly
taking part in the circuit quarterly
meetings, with the cordial approval
of both ministers and laymen, and
to the great advantage of circuit
life. There is a growing disposition
to place women on committees of
the church. 1t has long been fore
seen that the question of their adj
mission to the highest court Of the
church would sooner or later have
to be faced, and if the third London
district takes advantage of the op-
portunity presented to it by the ac-
ton of the Redhill circuit the settle
ment of this question may be near at
hand"

MEN PARTLY TO BLAME.
They First Prise Dress Reform
Then Rid CUE 1t.

The dress-reform symposiums
which avere held at the Madison
Square garden, New York, recent
ly, have evidently driven the enter
ing wedge of sensible dress little
further in, says the New York
Times. 1t is still apparently case
of ST. Anthony preaching to the
fishes:
Much, delighted were they,
But preferred the old way.
But in point of fact there is large
class of women who are convinced
that they are miserably clothed and
who are only waiting for custom to
pave the way for a change in their
garments.
1t is a melancholy truth that men
who rail at women's slavery to fash
ion and foolish notions of dress are
among the chief obstacles in the
way. They talk and inveigh, but
when It comes to the women 81 their
women 's-acting they prove the
stumbling blocks. When physicians
who urge their patients to dotf cor
sets, wear uutrammeling gowns and
broad-soled boots, are not able or
willing to Insist that their wives and
daughters shall reap the benefits of
this advice, it initiates against it's
usefulness. And the lay husbands
and fathers are no better. you
women are geese to dress as you do, !"
is a kind of stock phrase with them,
but they are tremendously tenacious
that their womenlind shall be
counted In with the flock.
'tNice woman, that Mrs So-and-
So" man says, but little odd,
you know Affects thick waists,
short skirts and that sort of thing"
And the same man will look over his
wife's gown and comment, with a
little mournful philosophy: My
dear, I'm afraid you're growing stout.
Where is that slender sylph I mar
ried?"
Men have got q distinct Office in
this dress-refc"~1 movement. They
have got to acco.-' heir individual
support as well as indulge in alb
stract theorizing. A L. nv destiny
has emancipated them in ID great de-
gree. But they did not achieve this
greatness, it was thrust upon them.
There is abundant evidence to prove
that men are as devoted to dress
and custom as women, have about as
many vanities concerning their per-
sonal appearance and are as willing,
many of them, to sacrifice personal
comfort To jndulUe them
