Vandalism Of Relic Hunters.

Referring to the fact that a relic hun
ter has just Clipped the nose off the
sculptured face of George Washington
in the inside of the great Washington
monument, back Of the White House,
by the Potomac River, the Advocate,
Of STAN ford, Conn.,, says: "4our re,
lie hunter lsiin every case such q fool
that he has no distinction in himself
at all. When he visits the graves OF
great men or the monuments of anti
Guity, he thinks it will confer little
borrowed grace on him to have rubbed
against the historic places ~ and justly
observes : "Carry the memory of no.
ted objects you have seen in your heart
and brain, and make good story tel
ling how you have seen them. Thus
the world will know that you have
been away from home" And waxing
warm, it utters a truth from which
many persons may learn wisdom and
politeness "Remember one of the
worst bores in Christendom is the per
son who has gathered up lot of STICKS
and stones and old trash from historic
localities, and insists on displaying
them to your weary eyes,"

Have you ever noticed how much of
Christ;s life was spent in doing kind
things-in merely doing kind things ?
Run over it with that in view, and you
will find that he spent a great proper
ton of his time simply in making peo-
pie happy, in doing good turus to peo-
pie. What God has put in our power
is the happiness of those about us, aud
that is largely to be secured by our be-
ing kind to them.--Prof. Drummond.

of a bill, endorsed by the secretary of
the interior and the general land office, to
force the railroad to stop its trains at
these stations. Special Agent G. G..
Coleman, now on duty in New Mexico,
was in Oklahoma when the difficulty
originated and it is in no small measure
due to his vigorous efforts that the in
terror department decided to act prompt
ly in demanding redress for the settlers.
When the bill was up yesterday Senator
Platt, true to his instincts and in fur
therance of his policy to have congress
give the west black eye whenever OPP
portunity offers, had the nerve to stand
up and oppose it with all the ardor and
cunning at his command, but he got

OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT.

The southwestern admirers of Senator
Dubois, the brilliant young Idaho states
man, regret to note the tangent he has
taken in congress in opposing the ad-
mission of lead ores free of duty. Dubois
is hustler, and there may be weight in
his claim that he has induced the senate
committee to go back on the action of
the house and report the bill with the
Mckinley lead clause therein, yet we
doubt it. Senator Dubois is certainly off
on the wrong foot in this matter. South.
western mining men who have given deep
thought to the subject, and there are
doubtless many of these, should advance
their own and the vest S interests by writ
ing the senator few lines.
