GETTING TIE DROP.
The Various Devices Used In Order

The Various Devices Used In Order
to Get ouiok Action.
"Gun fighting used to be an exact
science in the west" said a visitor from
Texas, land men became skilled in it
just as they might in any of the handi
crafts. 1t was queer thing. Marks.
manship had little or nothing to do with
1t, for nearly all personal encounters
were face to face. The great point was
to get quick action and the fellow who
drew and fired first generally won the
fight. That fact led to all sorts Of
schemes for pulling a gun with the least
possible delay. One Of the earliest was
the shoulder holster which consisted Of
a strap suspending the pistol just over
the left breast. A man expecting trou
bic would stand carelessly grasping his
right lapel, and sudden dive inside his
coat placed the weapon in his hand. 1t
was much quicker than reaching back
to the hip and. moreover, was usually
q surprise.
Carrying q derringer in the pocket OF
a sack coat and firing through the cloth
without drawing was II trick that spoiled
many garment and cost many a man
his life. At last il became difficult for
a man with bis hands in his coat pocket
to get near enough to victim to make
sure of hitting him, and frontier genius
invented a variation. He simply cut the
right pocket out Of an alpaca coat and
carried his gun In holster at his hip
The thin, tapping alpaca showed plainly
1t concealed no weapon, but when he
put his hand In the pocket opening he
could reach clear through and secure his
pistol from the holster. When the hand
came out. the pistol came with it, great.
ly to the establishment of his adyersaries
another trick was to carry the pistol
up the sleeve. with tho end Of the barrel
resting against the half bent pain. !
once saw a desperate kill man by that
device. His hands seemed to be per-
fectly empty, and when a weapon fash
ed In his grasp it was like a piece Of
magic. Later another fellow In camp
tried the same thing. dropped the gun
and got bullet Ia his stomach for his
pains. New Orleans Times. Democrat.

A QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.


OF course It is painful TO see how
many influential papers take an entire
~ opposite view on the questions in
yolyed In the Roberts case In Congress
from those expressed by the Salt Lake
organ OF the anti-"Mormon" crusade.
But the truth should be told when It Is
necessary to combat error, and there
fore while sorry TO harrow up the feel
ings Of our contemporary, we clip the
following from the New York Sun:
"Mr George II. Hepworth, writing to
the New York Herald from Washington
I'm regard TO the Roberts case. said yes
terday: IT U.s. think, beyond a CUES
ton that Mr. Roberts viii not remain
In his seat, even II he Is permitted for
the sake Of precedent to take IT,
so far as principle Is concerned, how
ever. Il makes all the difference In the
world whether the Congressman-e elect
from Utah Is kept out Of the House
Of Representatives now or Is turned out
after having been admitted.
ITO keep him out now is to require a
qualification for admission TO Congress
which IL not prescribed by the Con-
stltution. II the majority Of the House
Of Representative can add a single one
10 the constitutional qualifications for
membership. they can multiply the re-
quirements indefinitely. and II such n
power Is once recognized II will surely
be exercised 10 the injury OF the minor
lty party In Congress, whenever any
great political eXigency seems 20 de-
mand the exclusion Of particular per-
sons chosen 10 Congress. The admis-
sion OF a polygamist, even II he has
forty wives, is a matter Of small c0nse-
queDce compared TO the establishment
Of a precedent denying the right OF a

RETURNED WITH TREASURES.

Not all Of the returning heroes are
without money. 1t Is asserted In the
New York Times that two companies
OF Montana volunteers who came back
from Manila on the transport Zealandia
brought with them $4,000 IN gold and
Mexican silver. This is the story:
This treasure was first discovered
by two men at Caloocan. They were
the FIRST TO enter the town, which was
very rich The two Montana men en-
cred a large mansion. but found the
place deserted. They then went Into
the garden, and in a corner saw traces
that the soil had recently been dug up.
They Drodded the soil with their bayO-
nets and soon struck something hard.
Digging down, they uncovered a large
chest, which contained thousands OF
dollars In gold coin. The men who found
the gold treasure took all they could
carry. They then uncovered large
chest filed with Mexican dollars. The
men Of the two companies We're lined up
and marched through the garden, and
as each man passed he scooped up dou.
bic handfuls OF silver and filed his
pockets. On the voyage over on the
Zealandia poker was the favorlte pas
time, chips being worth So and no limit.
Some Of the men had as much as s.. 900
each In gold aad silver, and with the
purser there was deposited $4,000. for
which 10 receipts were given, the pur-
ser simply keeping a memorandum Of
each mans sack"

STILL ON THE CENTURY.

The Chicago Times-Herald continues
ito gyraUons In mathematc calcula-
tions to prove that the approaching
Jan, l, marks the beginning Of new
century. The new argument advanced
Is that this is the 18th month of the
l900th year after the birth of our Sa.
ylor, although 1t Is written 1899. In the
-Heralds own words:
"If the doubling Thomases will get
firm hold Of the idea that the birth 0t
Christ, from which the centuries count,
Is merely meridian line, so 60 speak,
between ID. c." and "a. D." they will
have LEFT doubt and confusion 1889
years II months and q days behind.
although this Is the 22nd day of the
l2th month Of the l9O0th year. Mark the
transition from cardinal to ordinal mum.
bers."
The reasoning proceeds on the basis
that in designating a period OF time the
ordinal number Is one ahead OF the
cardinal, and though this is generally
correct, the application of the argumen,
is faulty, for the present date is not,
as alleged, 1899 years, II months and rs
days, but 1928 complete years, II months
and 25 DAYS. The days belong 20 the
18th month, and the months are so
many Of the lssSth year That Is what
causes the apparent change from ordl-
nal TO cardinal The complete year
1898 is not affected, but 1t remains the
lS9sth year Of the era, as well as the
year 1898.
II this Is not so. an entire change
In our reckoning must take place. II
the Chicago papers contention Is true,
it follows that when we write "12" for
any month, We mean 10 denote the first
month Of the following year, and In the
same way Ne day - of the month Is
the second day. The present year must
thus be the 19O0th Of the era, and 1t must
have expired unnotlced on Deem
Der /, which by simple computation
will be found 10 have been the End day
Of the new century. And having ar
rived at this absurdlty, the discussion
ought 20 be permitted TO expire as
quietly az the old century.

Some Of these proposed changes will
meet with almos universal approval
and others will tend TO keep alive Is
sues that were foremost IN the cam
paign Of three years ago. The estab-
lishment OF a gold standard will be
combatted with arguments on either
side that are familiar to the country at
large, possible Difference being given
to the fact that the people Of the ma.
ton have declared against a dual
standard with one measure OF value
