A Crocodile Ons Bandrsd Feet Long.

n Crocodile O1o kS00ofSo Feet Long,
II Is = we'll known fact, even among
those who make no pretense Of having
their heads stored with geological and
archaeological lore, that the beasts and
reptiles which existed In the early ages
Of the world were giants when COM
pared with the very largest representa-
tives Of the same types which still sur
yive. This fact has recently been strik-
ingly illustrated by a nnd made at
Poitiers, where excavations are being
made under the auspices Of the Oriental
Academy Of Science. At that place q
crocodile tooth was found which weighs
almost seven pounds d. Gerard. the
professor in charge Of the working
corps, says that there is no doabt that
the tooth formerly belonged to gigan-
tic crocodile, and that there is no posi-
bility whatever that he has confounded
the tooth with that Of the megalVasan-
rus, as some scientists have limited.
n. Gerard says: ut is a typical croc-
odile tooth and is probably the largest
specimen Of the kind ever seen by man.
In my estimation it is from the head Of
. reptile not less than 100 feet in
length. st. Louis Republic.

Truth, justice and party pride en-
courage every Democratic writer to
be tireless in the warfare between
manhood and monopoly" is the posi-
tive way the Amador Dispatch puts it.
1t has long been the policy of the Re
publican party to befog the issue as
much as possible. Even as the Phil
lstlnes made Samson blind, that they
might control his energies, and get his
labor Tor nothing, SO has the money
power OF this country blinded the peo-
pie with dazzling promises, and smil-
ingly pocketed the results OF their
labor. Honest industry has come to
mean hard way to get poor living.
Fair dealing in trade is fast going out
OF date. Speculation is the favorite
mode OF legal robbery, and under 30
years OF careful encouragement, has
become the mightiest power in the
land. We see examples in stock ex-
change boards, where wildcat mining
certificates are sold to the simple, and
brokers made merry over the proceeds
where untold millions are won and
lost upon wheat and corn that was
never somewhere railroads declare
dividends upon stock that is altogether
fraudulent. And why are these things
so common? A stream can not rise
above its source, and people are sell
dom better than their leaders. The
head and front OF our financial sys-
tenn is the protective tariff, name so
unpleasantly suggestive that our Re-
publican friends are cautious about
mentioning it as they would prefer to
have its origin forgotten. Cape Tanfa,
was the point whence pirate vessels
sailed and waylaid merchant ships,
compelling captains to give up part of
their cargo or be sold into slavery,
with all their crew, and ship and cargo
forfeited as a penalty, They usually
paid the "tarila" as the price of lib
erty to continne their voyage with the
rest of their load A protective tariff
protects our manufacturers in follow
ing the example Of their Moorish pred
ecessors. A duty sufficient to raise
money enough to pay the current ex-
penses OF the government is right and
proper-anything more becomes a
"tarifa," species Of piracy, with the
government rs confederate, accessory
land accomplish. 1t seems to be the
policy OF the Philistines in power to
work this scheme to its utmost ca
pacity as long as blind Samson will
quietly grind at the mill. But, in the
light Of the twentieth century, a way
may be found for him TO regain his
sight and freedom without destroying
the temple.

 Arguments for and against under ground rapid transit were made be- fore the appellate division of the su- preme court this week. The question came LID on a motion to confirm the reporlt of the commission appointed to determine whether a rapid transit railway should be constructed or not The kickers, who seemingly admire the sky and surface systems, offered rathdr weak arguments agalnst the ..hole in the ground" as its opponents designate the genuine rapid transit project. but the chances are that their words will fail to block the enterprise. At amy rate, the people who hope to secure some of the contracts are go- ing right along with the work of rais- l ing funds and figuring out estimates. The famous Hidden will case is re- called by an action brought by Hen rietsa T. Blachford against Willis s. Paine. Mrs. Paine, who recently died was a niece of Governor Tflden and came in for large share of his es- tate when his will was broken in the courts. Since her death no will has been filed for probate and her hus- band has applied for letters of ad- ministration on the estate AS she had no parents or children the es- tate, 1t is said, will go to him in tlhe absence of a will The object of this suit, however is to establish the fact that there was a will, but that 1t hes mysterious1y disappeared. It is claimed that this will, after provid
 ing Mr. Paine an income of $10,0O( year, left the rest of the estate tt the brothers and sisters of the de. ceased. It is alleged that two draft:
 of the will in question have beer
 found, butt not the legal document
 which was signed in the presence O several witnesses on May 16, 1894
 Justice Truax has appointed a ref cree to take the testimony of MT
