away, so runs the story, by some hostile
Indians, who supposed it possessed OF
marvellous powers, and finally, after
years, during which it had been carried
from point to point and through scenes
which may be pictured if they are not
told, it was brought back by the Indian
| chief TO St. lgnaOe, whether through
conscientious or other motive is not
recorded.
Meanwhile a new church had been
built of logs and surrounded by pali-
SADIE, and Pere Marquette was dead and
buried IN q distant wilderness. Two
years after the ending OF his career
that Is, In l6TT-a fleet of canoes came
to the mouth of the river where he lay
buried. Some recorders cay they were
manned nv braves of the Kiskakons, re-
turning from a hunting expedition, In
the early spring; others that they were
padded by chiefs from the Maclinaw.
But the mission was, whichever they
may have been, to bring back the bones
of Pere Marquette and bury them in
consecrated ground in the village where
he had preached
The body was exhumed and the bones
washed In the river that flowed by
their first resting place. A box was
made OF birch bark, impervious to de-
cay, the remains placed in them, and
the fleet set out for St. Ignaee The
story told there to-day is that 300 canoes
formed the procession, each with
brave at the PROV, that touched the
shore with Pere Marquette's bones on
Whitsunday. The number is for this
reason perhaps correct; canoes contain
ing the Indians to whom he had been
teacher and friend, and the priests OF
the mission came out ON the Lake n
meet the 30 canoes, chanting the "De
Profundis" as they went, On reach
ing the shore the birch bark coffin was
carried 10 the church and placed on n
catafalque, where it rested all Whit
monday In the shadow of this same pic
ture that hangs in the new church Of
st. Ignace, and which, also, after wan
behring's, has come back.
Next In the history of the picture
came the episode of the abandonment of
the mission Of St. Ignace in 1908. The
friendly and converted Indians, seek
ing new fields, the church was burned
TO save it from dissertation by hostile
md white wanderers as savage as they.
The picture was carried away to be
in after years. The charred
walls and rafters fell inwsrds and de-
cayed. Vegetation gradually covered
up the desolatton, and no guiding trace
was left of the church beneath which
the remains of the giver of the picture
had been buried. Then, May 8, 1877, IA
man was digging and came upon the
foundation of what proved to be the
church, and for trace of which many q
search had been instituted. The loca-
ton correspondent with the description
mark on La Hontan's map, published in
17o3. -Four months later and q further
excavation brought to light the birch
bark coffin of Pere Marquette. 1t bore
no trace or mark, and only slight trace
Of the fire of171 years before. Most Of
the bones had been taken, it was sup
posed, by the Indians who had rifled
the grave TO get them as medicine
charms Records were searched and
inquiry instigated, and THE spot and
brentwood coffin pronounced authentic,

PREDICTING RESULTS.

We know that each side in all e.
lection campaigns is given to guessing
on the results, anl we have noticed
that the friends Of each Of the oppos-
ing candidates are apt 10 predict the
election Of the one whom they favor.
The EAGLE does not claim to be an
exception to the rule, and We confess
our inclination TO place our gucsses on
the election Of Bryan and Sewall in the
coming national contest. But for tie
benefit and Information Of those who
are in doubt as to the probabilities, and
also 10 encourage and temporarily
sooth the gold Mckinley party here
abouts, we want to point ont some
rcasons. inside from our wishes. why we
believe in the election OF the democratic
ticket for president aud vice.presideDt
this fall.
An concsdc that the election of Bryan
depends on carrying one or more Of the
great states Of the central northwest
and which are claimed by both parties
and may. therefore, be considered do

QUERY.

A large delegation from Indiana visi
ted the republican headquarters i'll
Chicago a short time ago, says the New
York Tribune, on the very urgent
business of trying to secure the eXten,
sion of Gen. Harrison's speechmaking
tour in that state. They reported a
sure republican majority for Mckinley
iu the state Of about 10000. If they
wore assured Of such a victory in the
Hooeier state, for the G, o. p, we are
unable to understand why they were SO
anxious for the cx.President to devote
more tiIGe there making speeches. But
there are lots Of queer things going on
in the world that we cannot quite COM

THAT BRYAN PERCENTAGE.

The advantage OF Bryan over McKin-
ley in the percentage Of gain shown 10y
the Chicago Records poll us compared
with the vote Of 1892, continues to be
the most significant feature Of the poll
tf the Middle Western States.
This advantage ie constant and keeps
eIendy ace with the vote. No matter
how favorable tho numerical showing
Tor Mckinley may be, tine result shows
net gain Of about 3 per cont for
Bryan in the changes oi votes in the
election Of four years ugo. In Missouri,
Indiana aud Iowa there are 8 per cent
more Harrison republicans who declare
their intention 10 vote for Bryan than
Cleveland democrats who will vote for
Mckinley. Aud 1892 vas good year
for the democrats.
Az the Republic stated when 1t first
pointed out this significant fact, the per
ccntage is a moro accurate index than

Mr.. Bryan receives 10 electoral votes
from the states named his election is
assured. But these reviewers claim
that all will be given to Mr.. Mckinley,
and they therefore insist that the re-
publican candidate will be elected.
How do these predictions appear in the
light Of the vote cast at the last presi-
dental election? In the first place,
there has been complete fusion be-
tween the democrats and popuists, on
the electoral tickets il all the states
named. In Illinois the vote in 1892
stood as follows:

THE COLONEL Is YOURS.

The republicans of Henry Clay's
noted Kentucky congressional district
have gone into the democratic party
and seduced Col William G. p. Bre *

him for congress. Republicans never
discovered the Colonel's real merits
until after that Made line Pollard affair
was ventilated in the courts and the
democrats had repudiated him. The

WILL VOTE FOR PERCUSSION.

While the success Of the canse Of
silver is a matter that deeply concerns
New Mexico, the matter Of most i'm
mediate importance TO our people is to
secure the ell, ction of a man as delegate
in congress who will serve the inter
ests Of the territory and not prostitute
his office to the promotion of bis own
private interests. All our people know
that with Mr.. Fergusson in congress
the interests OF New Mexico will receive
proper attention, and they know. too,
that with Mr.. Catron there it is useless
TO hope for anything that does not serve
the private interests of Mr.. Cairon.
Tho republicans Of New Mexico know
this as we'll as the democrats, and a
majority Of those who vote for Catron
on the 81 OF next November, will know
when they do so that they are voting
against the interests " the territory for
the sake Of "the party And this is
why such large proportion of the re-
puhlicans Of the territory will vote fof

REPUBLICAN INDECENCY.

of the republican papers of the terri

supporters Of Mr.. Catron. Comment is
unnecessary. How many votes such an
article as this will increase the tally Of
the republican nominee in Lincoln
county we leave to be determined by the
people here, who have any self respect

AOllDlDbu HlUIbllNg ANfi''
If four years ago the democratic and
votes cast in these states had
been combined, as they are in the
present election, all OF them except
Iowa and Michigan, would have given
their electoral votes to the candidate
supported 10y the combination. Iowa
would have beon lost 10y only 2,S33
votes and Mic higan by $40, neither OF
which could be considered absolutely
safe for republicans. Now, what is
there in the present outlook which is
calculated to encourage the supporters
Of MIR. Mckinley in the belief that he
is stronger than Gen. Harrison was four
years ago. or that Mr.. Bryan is weaker
candidate than was Mr.. Cleveland then?
They tell us that the gold standard
democrats will be lost to the democratic
ticket. But we answer THIS by saying
tina for every former democrat who has
left his party this year there are two
republicans who viii vote for Bryan.
The states desig mated as donblful are
in the center Of the farming regions Of
this country and neither party attempts
TO deny that this class Of voters are
turning to The silver cause in numbers
which have alarmed the republican
managers. 50 that while some oi the
former adhcrents Of democratic faith
have left the party It will largely more
than recover this loss from the republi'
caus among the farmers.

bet on the result. but these have u'
