HuDtiuS.the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it ;ndiscriminately called, is a
species OF z game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not SO much because
OF the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because Of It's actual
rarity. 1t ls a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, 5ut where found
is IN goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
nigh up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs
Tins requires great labor u get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.

WASHINGTON, March 9-The prOba-
bilities are that most of the entire at
tentlon of the senate will be given
during the present week to an effort to
get its committees in working shape,
and that the senate will adjourn for
two or three days at a time without
attempting any business of conse-
quence. No legislation a be attempt
ed with the house not in session, but
there are two or three treaties that
could be considered. The arbitration
treaty is of these. 1t has been re-
ported to the senate, but it is under
stood that Senator Davis, who is chair
man of the committee on foreign
relations, does not feel free to proceed
with the treaty until the committee
contains its full membership. Amy
nominations sent in by the president
will, of course, be considered.

most Of them are by circuitous routes

city are now estimated in the millions.
The extent Of the losses could not be
learned at the time because the tele-

SHE MEANS BUSINESS.

The Hartford {Conn.) World Is advo-
eating Mrs. A1nrilla Marks Kicker. Of
Dover, N. f., for the post Of Minister
To the United States Of Columbia, and
offers In support OF It's position that Mrs.
Kicker has been an active worker in
Presidential campaigns for the success
OF the Republican ticket. both az L
writer and speaker. l says that she Is
81 vigorous writer and has made Il thor
ough study of political questions, es
pecially the tariff, so that few can sur
pass her in handling that topic.
She has sent her application to Mr..
Mckinley, and he has acknowledged 1t
very courteously and promises to give
it due consideration.
OF course there Is no telling what may
happen ia these days of advanced ideas,
but If the lady should get the appoint
ment she seeks, 1t will be Il radical de-
parture from an old established rule of
the Government Of this country. There
are some very able and distinguished
women In the United States, no doubt
women who are capable of filling almost
any p0sltion-but it Is not believed that
we are prepared just yet to send q
woman to any foreign nation as the
Minister Of this country, however gifted
in letters she may be.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The prudent business man, finding
that his revenue does not Justify the
rate at which he Is living, begins to look
around in order to see in what direction
he can retrench, and when that is set
tied. he proceeds to curtaal his expenses.
Hut how different it Is with the Gov
eminent as It now is? 1t has been
proven that the expenses of the United
States Government has exceeded its
revenues sixty odd million Of dollars
annually. and in face of this, instead of
the administration seeking to curtail its
expenses, 1t Is increasing them and in
addition adds IL tariff which will reduce
its revnue by 81 restriction Of imports.
Under the plea Of more revenue needed
they Will foster upon the country n tariff
which VIII fall with peculiar hardship
upon a class which can Ill afford 1t. The
increase OF taxation on wool and wooden
goods alone amounts to s24, 900, 900, which
the poor OF the country will have to pay
i'll the end. What is needed at this par
ticular time is more economy in the ex-
penditure Of public funds If the ex-
penses OF the Government were reduced
TO something near It's legitimate re-
Q0lremcntS there would be no need to
enter 4 plea that more revenue is needed
TO keep the wheels Of the Government
going. 1t is economy what the country
wants and Il failure TO practice this
virtue Is one OF the greatest sins of the
Government.

but in It's absence the public has had a
surfeit OF contradictory rumors and It
thinks that the situation is not cleared
up by the announcement that while
President Mckinley does not intend to
retain General Lee permanently at his
post, he wishes him to remain there for
the present.
This may be very true, and probably
Is true, but how does it go to show
that there has been any mystery on the
part Of General Lee in the handling of
the business of the Consulate? Our con-
temporary takes the following view Of
the matter: @:
If General Lee has not done his
duty in Cuba the delicate nature Of
our relations with Spain demands
ms prompt removal. If he has filled
his difficult position efficiently, why
not retain him? It is not the time
or the place TO change officials for
purely political reasons. In either
case the American people and,
doubtless. General Lee himself
would be better pleased by prompt
acton and the publication Of all the
