just below the breast bone, showed con-
clusiveIy that Hartley had been put to
death with cruel tortures such as were
inflicted upon white men taken priso-
ners by Indians in the early history of
this country.
Some such dreadful ending had often
been predicted for him, as he had been
for years engaged in collecting Indian
robbed more Indian graves and scat
tered broadcast the remains of more In
dians than any other one man ever did.
There is scarcely an Indian burying
ground on the Columbia river, or the
islands therein, or along the coast of
Oregon, where such places are numer-
GUS, which Hartley had not ransacked
in search of stone knives and hammers,
beads, flint arrowheads, and other arti-
cles which Indians used to bury with
their dead.
Hartley had been so long and so ac-
lively engaged IN the business, and his
operations had extended over such a
scope of territory, that he was known
by reputation at least to many Indians,
and whenever it was known that he was
in any part of the country Indians from
that section eent out guards to protect
their old burying places.
Some two years since, while he was
operating in an extensive Indian burying
ground at the mouth of the Alsea river,
he was shot at and narrowly escaped be-
ing captured by guards sent down from
the Siletz reservation to keep watch for
him, the Indians having learned that he
was on his way to that place. Another
time, when collecting Indian skulls at a
burial place on Little Memaloose island,
he narrowly escaped being captured
through the canoe of his pursuers having
bzen upset by their overeagerness to
catch him.
It seems probable that he had learned
of the burying ground on the island in
Deadman's lake, some twenty miles fur
ther in the forest, where tradition says
the chiefs and medicine men of several
tribes along the Columbia used to be
buried, and, lured by the prospect of a
rich find of curios, he had ventured to
visit the place, imagining that he would
be safe from molestation in the depths
of that great forest. The Indian guards
evidently caught him and put him to
cruel death, and his fate might never
have been known had not the timber
cruiser, Peterson, been led by curiosity
to visit this island.

An Able Argument.
GOVERNOR MCCONNELL ENTERS
THE FIELD OF DISCUSSION.
Falacies of Democracy
No Favorable Legislation on Finance can
Come From Party Whose Public Acts
Have Always Been Incompetent and
Followed BY Distress.

Publishers Spokesman Review, Spo-
kane, Wash. | notice
in YOUR issue of August 10th three
questions proposed by c. W. Simons,
Of Kellogg, this state, which you have
undertaken to answer.
As you have invited correspondence
in your columns on the political situa-
ton, it you will kindly grant me that
privilege, would like to correct yo,
in your answer.
To the first question. "Does not the
United States government accept sill
yer in payment of all customs, taxes
and all public dues"' You answer
that "The United States accepts silver
certificates in payment OF customs,
taxesAnd all pulic d"eS. IT does not
~ accept silver dollars"
If this was true, it would be II sur
prising condition of affairs. \ silver
certificate is merely promise to pay
upon presentation Il certain number of
silver dollars. Uuder your interpreta-
ton, the promise to pay would be &C.
cepted by the customs officers, but the
payment itself would be rejected.
AS ! presume YOU intend to be fair,
and give correct answers to the queS-
tons pronounced to you, if you vii re-
fer to the act of Feb. 2S, 1873, you will
find its title to he, an act toauthorize
ho <,f y, Il ~
lar and to restore its legal tender char
acter.' After stating its weight and
tineness, the language rs as follows:
They shall be a legal tender at
their nominal value for ALI debts and
dues. public or private, except when
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract
1t is we'll enough, perhaps, to say
that without the latter clause, the act
would not be constitutional, because
congress has no right to deprive any
citizen of his constitutional right to
enter into private agreement or con-
tract, which is not in violation of Law. .
You wind up your answer AS follows:
why juggle further with this point:
The facts could not be planer. The
gold reserve is held in the treasury
exclusively for the redemption of
United States ana treasury notes. 1t i.
