PREHISTORIC AMERICA.
Ruins of a Magnificent City In Guatena
"A Palace o Feet Long.

Ruins of a Magnificent City In Guatemala
"A Palace 100 Feet Long.
AT q recent American association
meeting at Buffalo Mr.. J. r. Chandler
described u visit to a wonderful ruined
city of Central America
The road to the ruins of TZac Polka
ma, in Guatemala, runs through an i'm
mense pine forest, and they include the
foundations of what was once a popu-
other structures. These were described
by Mr.. Chandler. He said that every
temple stood in a plaza, around which
had been ranged the dwellings of the
priests. Every strategic point on the
mountain was once fortified by n castle,
fort or pyramid. The central palace
was 100 feet long. with walls eight feet
thick. On the highest point stood a
fortress 240 feet long, with n pyramid
40 feet high, the whole built on terraces
whence the Tzac Pokama can be seen
in it's entirety, as well as the hills, vol
canoes, valleys and rivers for hum
dreds of miles around,
This splendid city could have held
three times as many persons as now
inhabit Guatemala. Few utensils were
found, and no statues, sculptures or
hieroglyphics. There is also n conical
hill called Mumuz, with a sacriticial
pyramid, through which goes a wind
ing passage, said by tradition to lead
to a rich s-ubterranean city.

Kinley's election was best for the wei

We do not believe it. We believe

the verdict as the will of the people, al
the same time realizing that the people

CLIMATE AND CHARACTER.
National Traits Often Nodded by the Ma
ture of the Weather.


ture of the Weather.
The civil war is said to have been
caused by a difference in climate, and
the question is now being discussed
whether. a hot or cold climate has the
greatest effect on national character.
1t has been widely believed that a Sc
we're climate produces the greatest eff
feet, because it compels effort and self
denial, and thus promotes energy and
ipventiyeness, says the New York Jour
nal.
1t would also seem that the influence
of climate upon the national character
has been greatly exaggerated. AS
syria, Babylonia, Egypt and Carthage,
situated in hot ATTITUDES, were among
the most masterful nations of antiq-
uity. Mohammed and his c%onquering
legions issued from the burning wilder
ness of Arabia, and at a later period his
successors were able to beat back the
repeated attacks of the combined cru
sading nations from the north.
The greatness of u nation depends
mainly upon intellectual and moral
qualities, and these nave often been
conspicuously developed among the in
habitants of hot climates. 1t is i'm
portant, too, to remember that the
same nation, occupying the same re-
gion, may be great and powerful in one
age and weak and contemplate in an
other, The difference between the an
Client Greeks, Romans and Saracens, on
the one hand, and their modern de-
scendants on the other, cannot have
been due to climate.

LAST WORDS OF JONES.
Cause of Silver Lives Yet-GOld Stan
dard Must Fulfill All Promises or
Meet Defeat,

Chicago, H., Nov. chairman
Jones issued the following statement
tonight:
"The result of the presidential cleo
ton is apparently nc longer in doubt.
1t has been one of the closest contests
that the people have been called upon
to determine IN recent years. We
have claimed the election on our ad-
vices from states hat were admittedly
in doubt, in which we knew there had
been many frauds, and from which
there were evidences of tampering
with the returns.
sit seems now to be apparent that,
while Mr.. Bryan, after making the
most vigorous campaign in the history
of our country, and having carried
most of the states claimed to be doubt
full, has not carried enough to assure
his success in the electoral college.
Bryan electors have been chosen from
all of the states south of the Potomac
and Ohio, except West Virginia, and
all those west of the Missouri, except
California and Oregon.
"He has 100 electoral votes, and
this number may be increased by final
returns from states yet IN question.
He has not obtained enough votes to
garry the electoral college. Thus this
remarkable campaign closes with the
election of William Mckinley.
1.-The result was brought about by
every kind of coercion and intimida-
ton on the part of the money power,
including threats of lock-outs and dis
missals, and impending starvation; the
employment of by far the largest CAM
paign fund eve used in this country,
and by the s~ubornation of a large por-
ton of the American press.
"The p~resident-elect and his party
are under the pledge to the American
people to continue the gold standard,
and by its operation to restore pros
perity TO this country.
GAS chief executive, Mr.. Mckinley
will have the cordial support of the
millions of patriotic Americans who
have cast their votes for William Ien-
nings Bryan. They bow to the majesty
of the office, and abide by the result
with none of the mutterings that would
have come from the moneyed powers
had it been successful.
'They are confident the gold stand
ard can not give the promised pros
perity, but will gladly welcome it if it
comes. They will continue the great
struggle for the uplifting of humanity,
and the maintenance of the dignity of
our country in the establishment of the
American monetary system. And the
democratic party, aided by its present
allies, will still uplift the bimetallio
standard and zeal it on to victory.

COWHERD'S MAJORITY.
Complete Returns Show That He
Swept Jackson County by 1852
Clear Majority.

The majority with which Congressman
Cowherd will take his seat is 1857. In
the World last Wednesday appeared a
statement from Chairman George Holmes
Of the democratic congressional commit
tee, claiming that Mr.. Cowherd's majority
would be between 5000 and 1000. The
district did even better than this, for Cow
herd received a majority of 1852 in jack
son county, outside Of Kansas City, aud
Neff beat him but 146 in the city itself,

The returns from several states have

democratic leaders like Chairman Jones

defeat of Mr.. Bryan.

say positively how the vote has gone in
Indiana and Kentucky. In Kentucky

that the vote is phenomenally close, and
