Some time since a resident of Fair
fax, while fishing in the Lamoille riv
er in that town, saw a piece of carved
wood projecting from the river bank.
Upon examining it he found it to be
the handle of a paddle, evidently of
Indian origin, which measured over
four feet in length. The paddle is of
ash and is remarkably we'll preserved.
Further search in the vicinity reveal
ed a large quantity of spear and ar
row heads, pits of broken pottery and
several rude implements fashioned
fir ON bone. From the abundance of
these relics it is evident that this spot
was once an aboriginal village.

Beyond the people who favor arbi-

to wipe out the very semblance of
army and navy in all countries of the
world, and who are quite as likely to
see their plan realized, as to see the
entire world plunged into one univer-

That Flop of the Honorable Oscars, Ac-
 cording to MT. McLaln of Gurley.
 Gurley, July 2S. Editors Mercury:
 The news of Hon. O. R. Hundley's change in politics was received here with very little concern or surprise by the peo- pie. After reading his letter in the Sun day Times I was unable to tell exactly where to place him, but was very much amused at his objection to the Chicago platform on account of the "glaring in- constituencies" found in it. He starts out by saying he is @ 16 to free silver dem ocrat, but gets on gold platform and pledges himself to work for the election of a republican nominee, How is that for consistency? He says the money question Is not the issue, but the para mount question in this country Is fair and honest elections. Like all the rest of the rep-pop leaders Judging from his letter., his cry will be "Fraudl Fraud! Fraudr Well, if fraud has been practic- ed in this county, which don't believe, he is one of the beneficiaries, and to car ry out his idea of consistency think 1t would be in order and, as consistent democrat, would suggest that he resign his seat as state senator, in order that the democrats of this county might put democrat in his place whom they would be willing to trust in the election of a United States senator. I think that would be consistency.
 A ITlenu OI Hiiue, anu u ledullS TepuD- lican of this place, told mo last Friday night that MT. w. I. Weflman of Hunts vile told him last May that MT. Hundley was going to leave the democratic party and take the stump for the republican nominees as soon as the state election was over, and said he might do so before the August election. Now, that was at least six weeks before the inconsistent platform was adopted. How is that for a consistent democratic senator. Con sistency thou art jewelI'
 MT. Hundley will find out before the November election that the money ques- ton is the issue in this county and dis trict at least.
 Democracy is all right in this neck of the woods. Red-headed Joe is the favor ite, with Oscar Fulgbum a close second. and on a free ballot and fair count" they will have a big majority.

 Perhaps the most sincere compliment the efficiency of the long distance tele- phone has yet received was paid it last Monday by gentleman in Chicago who did not at the time know to whom he was talking.
 Mr. J. J. Venable, agent of the Armour Packing company, sat himself down in the long distance booth to have pleas ant chat with the manager of the estab- lishment in Chicago. The chat proceed ed, and after a. few moments the phone in the Windy City changed hands, de- partment man being summoned to an- swer one of MT. Venable's questions. MT. Venable wanted very explicit infor- ation, and the voice in Chicago then said: well sir, if you will call around before you leave town, will show you around our house."
 What are you talking aboutg' yelled MT. Venable, "I am in Alabama, where the cotton comes from"
 It then dawned upon the department mans mind that instead of talking to person a few blocks distant he was talk ing over long distance wire to a man nearly 700 miles away.

MONEY THE CENTRAL QUESTION.

MONEY THE CENTRAL QUESTION.
 In discussing the question to be settled by the approaching national election, to- gether with the disposition likely to be made of the populite nominee for vice president, the Cincinnati Enquirer. among other things, says:
 ''The central question Is that of money. It is the only question that Is going to be settled this year by the presidential campaign. There may be education on other issues, but free and unlimited coin- age of gold and silver, at 16 to 1, without waiting for other countries to act, is the one paramount, absorbing issue. The people of the United States consider one thing at time. Elections are frequent, the form of government being republican, and each important proposition has a chance to have an election practically by itself. All of the national conventions of this year but the straight silver have resolved about good many things be- sides money, but in each case money is a topic mainly and almost solely recog- nized by the public.
 "Nothing could be more satisfactory in the way of resolution on money than the one adopted by the democratic na- tional convention to all silver men. It goes as far as anybody desires to-. The democratic nominee for the presidency has been nominated by the peoples party for the same office. Another candidate for vice president has been taken. Why? Not on account of objection to MT. Sew- all. At least. there is no expression to that effect. The avowed reason of those who led in the selection of MT. Watson, and of MT. Watson himself, is to preserve the organization of the populist party. The democrats. have covered the essen- tial ground, but the populist leaders do not want to sink out of sight.
