Mr.. Ingalls,. once an amusing figure
in Congress, and who thereafter proved
how incapacity can make itself ridicu-
lous in journalism, is now engaged in
calamity bowling, doing his level best
to provoke disquiet, riot and lawless-
ness by. misrepresenting conditions. His
latest effusion declares that strikes,
lockouts, boycotts and disorder are in
telligible in time Of shrinkage and dis
aster, when wages are falling and null
titudes are out of employment" In
gals flies in the face Of history, exper-
ience and reason in such statement.
When labor is not engaged, when times
are hard and men are seeking employ
ment vainly; when there is tight
money. guarded treasure, distrust and
non-investment; when crops fail and
the struggle against the wolf at the
door is on, there are fewer strikes.
boycotts and labor troubles, and for
the. best of reasons. When five men
are seeking one place for employment,
and there is but one place for the seek
ers; when there is small bounty of
yield from the soil and industrial en-
terprise languishes. men do not quar-
rel with the means at their command
Labor does not then take chances of
worse conditions. 1t is when labor is
in demand. when industry longs for
workers. when there is greatest en-
ployment for the largest number, when
money isjplenty and investment is gem
erous that labor feels its power, de-
mands more of capital. and upon the
basis of material prosperity and gem
eral activity in business, insists upon
a larger share Of the rewards of pros
porous conditions. The fact of history
and experience is that strikes, boycotts
and industrial disturbance are most
"intelligible" when times are most

PROBABLY A FRAUD.

There has come into the possession OF
the State Historical Society at Topeka,
Kansas, a mummy of an Indian woman
holding in its arms an infant. The
mummy is six feet eight inches long,
and if genuine was one of a race of
giants. But the strange thing about it
is the claim that it was found by a
party of prospectors in a cave in Yo-
semitic Valley. Mr. Adams, the Secre-
tary of the society, says:
There is a necklace about the neck
consisting of perhaps a leather cord, in
which two or three Slender white teeth
are inserted. Coarse, black hair shows
in the wrapping about the neck. The
shroud has the appearance of a very
thin piece of buckskin badly worn and
frayed about the edges, covering the
head like a hood, and enveloping the
greater part Of the body. 1t seems to
have been divided below the knee and
drawn up about the leg and laced at
the foot and ankle. The color Of the
mummy is a dusty gray, much like an
old chamois skin which has been wet
and long exposed to the weather, and
the appearance of old putty The bone
of the right shin is exposed to perhaps
the length of three inches, also several
of the ribs on the right side
It is safe to say that the mummy is
fraud. If there had been any such
find in this State there would have
been much publicity of the fact. Pros
pectors do not much visit the Yosemite
Valley, and if there is a mummy cave
in that section California scientists
have yet to hear of it. Topeka has
probably been imposed upon.
The learned authorities upon the sub
ject of the ancient inhabitants of this
coast will not waste much time in
study of this alleged specimen. Had
there been any such find in California
it is unlikely that it would have es-
capped the watchfulnes of the California
Academy of Sciences, for the relic, if
genuine, would be on exhibition inaits
museum in San Francisco. 1t is no
difficult task to manufacture petrified
giants or that which will pass for the
mumified remains of ancients.

WOULD IT BE JUsTIFIABLE?

There are many hundreds of millions
pounds sterling of English money in

mining works, manufactures and busi-
ness houses. In case of war between
England and the South African Repub-
lie all these properties may fall under
the head of enemy's property by dec
laration of the Beers, who may fill the
mines. blow up the houses, destroy the
works and render all the vast wealth
of Uitlanders at their mercy valueless.

The question is, have the Beers in
case of war a recognizable right to dc
such a work of destruction? If thereby
they can cripple their enemy or retard
his progress, yes. On the other hand,
it is not rulable in modern warfare to
make the property of private individ-
uals bear punishment for the acts Of

The meeting of dealers in redwood
timber, owners of redwood tracts and
redwood millmen with the Chief For
ester of the United States in San Fran
cisco the other day proved a very hap
py affair The redwood operators
unanimously agreed to aid the Forester
as the Governments representative in
all possible ways in reforesting cut
over lumber tracts in the coast ranges.
They agreed to care for the deputy
foresters without cost to them, to fur
rish them transportation, board and
lodging free, to assist them in every
possible way, and to raise the neces-
sary money to enable experiments in
reforesting to begin at once. This is
the right spirit. But there is far less
trouble in redwood regions concerning
decreasing than in the pine woods
regions. Fires are very few in the
redwoods. Care is exercised by the
wise the redwood groups do not burn
as easily as those of the piney order.
If now the operators in the pine woods,
and among the cone bearers generally,
would follow the example of the red
wood operators, a decided long step
will have been made in meeting the
exigencies of the case. To this date,
however, the timber men of the Sierras
have not manifested a disposition to
come TO the aid of authorities in pre-
venting wanton destruction of timber.
