JONES AND THE TARIFF.

Senator Jones finds himself bit terly attacked by his Arkansas op- ponents for the part he took in framing the tariff law. Heis charged with selling out to German and Brice, with listening to the manu- lecturers and abandoning the Dem ocratic idea he was supposed to rep resent.
 The Senator has replied that had he taken different stand the Nc Kinley law would still be in force and effect.
 He might have added, also, that the charge of incompetency and in ability to legislate which has been brought against the Democratic party would have been proved.
 Senator Jones and Vest were charged with peculiar responsibil- ity. They were asked to frame a tariff bill which would pass the Sen ate. It was quickly developed that bill which would represent their ideas and the contention of their States could not become law. The issue reduced itself to the ques- tion as to whether there should be substituted for the Mckinley law a tariff measure making such reduc, tions as forty three Democratic Senators would support or whether the Wilson bill should be defeated
 In the effort to save something from the wreck of the Wilson bill Senator Jones worked night and day for two months. During that time he made for himself a National rep utation. He was hopeful of seeur7 ing the passage of a tariff bill, when his colleagues and the newspaper correspondents declared such a thing was impossible.
 There was not day during the Senate discussions of the tariff bill when aless diplomatic Senator than Jones would not have made the pas sage of any bill impossible. Harris, the floor leader, was disposed to bull doze a coterie of Senators who did not fear his wrath. Vest was so dis gusted with the Senate protection- ists that he could not consider them with patience.
 Ire Senate Democratic Steering Committee pleaded with Jones to be cautious. He did what few ambi- tious Senators have ever consented
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-02-24

to do. He voluntarily placed him. self in a position where his motives would surely be questioned, but where he could not possibly answer his critics. Had he been disposed to sacrifice his party he could have made himself impregnable.
 Arkansas would have been de- lighted any morning during the tariff discussion to hear that its Sen ator had denounced the Eastern Senators who stood for protection. It would have been good thing for Jones, but the business of the United States would still be done under the Mckinley law. Demo- crats would have no defense against the charge of.incompetency and high protection would have been the pol icy of the Nation for many years.- St Louis Republic.

PREHISTORIC INDIANS.
Remains of a Remarkable Race of Men
 Found In Florida.

Found In Florida.
 Early i'll December Frank Hamilton Cushing of the bureau of American eth. nology of the Smithsonian institution; Wells M. Sawyer. an artist and photog rapher of the art department of the United States geological survey, and Carl k. w. Bergman, museum expert of the United States National museum, completed arrangements to visit Flori- da, with the intention of making an in- vestigation of the Shell keys and ancient reef settlements of Charlotte harbor, and the very interesting mounds at Ma pies, about 50 miles south of Tampa
 A camp was established at Finley Hammock, or Hope Grove, few miles north of the Anclote river, where, under the direction of Mr. Sawyer, number of interesting discoveries were made.
 In the mounds the burials were nu- merous, and although some hundreds of such burials were encountered the re- mains were so affected by age as to ren= der it almost impossible to preserve them. By very careful treatment large collection of skulls and other portions of skeletons, interesting for study, were secured. The skulls are in many respects remarkable, possessing features that are apparently unusual. This is especially the case in reference to the great nar rowness of the temporal regions, the massive development of the jaws and the prominence of the brows A study of this collection will probably definite. ly decide to what group of Indians these people were allied.
 All of the remains are prehistoric The find is necessarily large on account of their peculiar burial customs. A re markedly representative collection of all of their various arts of life in pottery, stone and bone implements and orna- ments was found.

WILL BE HIS OWN FATHER.
How Judge Scott VIII Be Affected by Ex-

How Judge Scott VIII Be Affected by Ex-
 President Harrison's Marriage.
 Ex-President Harrison's brother-ln- law, Judge J. N. Scott of Port Towns bend, Wash, at a social gathering the other evening discovered very unexpect- edly that be was about to become hls own father. The subject of General liar rison's approaching wedding was belng discussed with a party of friends when some one asked Judge Scott II that would not somewhat complicate and tangle up the limbs on the family tree. For moment the question somewhat stunned the gentleman, and then the party commenced to try to solve the matrimonial problem, and the deeper they went into the subject the more mystified they became, and finally II was given up as an unfathomable tangle. Several of the notes made and calcula- tions formed were preserved and given to the press.
 Of the existing relationship Judge Scott is fully informed. 1t was in trying to locate the limb of his own family tree after the wedding shall have taken place that he became confused. After several hours of deep mental exercise he arrived at these conclusions; tI am now Gen eral Harrison s brother-in law, and Mrs. Dimmick, his prospective bride, is my niece. After they are married my broth er-in-law will become my nephew, and my niece, consequently, will become my sister, law. Then, of course, will become my own brother-inlaw, and also. my niece's brother in law. Now, ' slowly continued the philosophical req soner, delving into the future a little deeper, if this contemplated union should be productive of claimant fol the ancestral hat, he will be my nephew, and also my grandnephew. will be his uncle and his granduncle. Whew, ' ejaculated the judge, as he wiped the precipitation from his brow, that will complieate matters. Just see here. Now, in order to be uncle and granduncle to one and the same person, it must neees- sarily follow that l ann my own father, and-oh, hang the whole thing any how, am not going to rack my brain over other peoples troubles, and up jumped the judge, somewhat exasper- ated
 The logical result of the union was quite astonishing; the judge and the guests sat down to figure it out again, arriving at the same conclusion. Then some one ascertained that General Har- rison would become his own nephew and cousin of his own son, should one be born, and who will, also, be a second cousin to his own brother and his fa- ther's nephew At this point the mental exercise subsided, Judge Scott agreeing to furnish a palatable beverage if his guests would keep inviolate the secret. But it leaked out, and has been given to the press.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

THE TIMES has spoken of the candidacy
of r. f. Kay, of Shaftsburg. for the nomi-
nation of register of deeds. AS the time is
rapidly approaching when the republicans
of this county will decide what men they
want to put in nomination for county Off
GERS, it does not seem out of place to say a
word for Mr.. Kay. We believe first that he
is heartily endorsed for the nomination by
his own township, where he is better known
than any where else in the county. The
friend who are interested in his campaign
know that he is capable and that il nomi-
mated and elected he will conduct the affairs
of the Office to the satisfaction of all the
people. His friends can see no reason why
lac should not be candidate and there is no
reason. In this connection 1t is also per-
fecty proper to remember that to gather the
full strength of the party in the county, the
candidates should come from different parts
of the county as far as possible. Placing
too many of the nominations In single
locality will not add strength to the ticket.

On the board of supervisors he was assigned
to the most important committees, doing
his work with a thoroughness that made It
especially noticeable-thus commencing the
respect of his fellow members and exerting
a large influence on the business In hand.

times wide awake to the interests Of his con-

The republicanism of Frank M. Whelan,
of Shiawassee township, and his loyalty to
Maj. Mckinley, has been shown plainly
during the past three years by the Mckinley
flag which has floated from a pole in front
of his residence This is not all, he has
been ready at any and all times to give a
reason for his belief in the party of protec-
ton, reciprocity and sound currency and to
so state 1t that his hearers have been con-
vinced that he believed every word he ut
tered. To make it brief, he is working
republican. More than this, his work is
of the effective kind. AS representative
farmer, his hand is seen in farmers clubs
and institutes. AS moral, upright citizen
he has no superior in the county. These
qualifications fit him to an excellent degree
to represent Shiawassee county in the next
state legislature as its representative. The
party will have no occasion to regret making
him the nominee.
