AMERICAN DIAMONDS.
Emlgrant Stones In the Moraines OF
This Continent.

The dissemination of Information re-
garding the lake diamonds through
the region of the moraine should serve
the twU-fold purpose of encouraging
search for the buried stones and of dis
covering diamonds in the little col
lections of lucky stones" and
local curios which accumu-
late on the clock shelves of
country farmhouses, writes Prof. w.
II. Hobbs, in Appleton's Popular
Science Monthly for November. When
it is considered that three of the larg
est diamonds thus far found in the
reg on remained for periods OF seven,
eight, and sixteen years respectively
in the hands of the farming population,
it can hardly be doubted that many
other diamonds have been found and
preserved as local curiosities without
their real nature being discovered.
diamonds should be discovered in
the moraines of eastern Ohio, of west
ern Pennsylvania, or of western New
York, consid cradle light would thereby
be thrown upon the problem of locating
the ancestral home. More important
than this, however, is the mapping of
the Canad ian wilderness to the south
eastward and eastward of James Bay,
in order to determine the direction of
ice movement within the region, so that
the tTAckiDE VI inc sSones direauy
found may be carried nearer their
home. The director of the geological
survey of Canada is giving attention to
this matter, and has also suggested
that study be made of the material
found in association with the diamonds
in the morsine, SO that If possible its
source may be discovered.
With the discovery of new localities
of these emigrapt stones and the col
lection of data regarding the move
ment of the ice over Canadian terri
tory, it will perhaps be possible the
more accurately and definitely to cir
cumscribe their home country, and az
it's boundaries are drawn closer, and
closer, to pay this popular jewel visit
in it's ancestral home, there to learn
garding it's genesis and it's life history.

CITY HALL FURNITURE.
Before adjournment Acting Mayor
Whitmore said that some step should
be taken to furnish the city hall, es-
pecially the council chamber.
The matter was about to be referred
to the building committee, when Mr..
Badger interposed with a fervid
speech, saying that if he was building
a house and paying rent he would want
to move in as soon as possible and he
favored no delay in moving. Many OF
the councilmen favored his proposition
but it was decided to await the return
of the mayor before taking action. II

Governor Lee.
THE UNION would like to end
the republican record at this point,
but the thing is SO rank that this
is impossible. The display of
partisanship in the republican
measure introduced to prevent a
fusion of the silver forces was dis
graceful. 1t was next to a dis
francnisment Of a class Of voters
and would have defeated d popular
expression of the will Of the people.
1t was vicious in the extreme and
was intended to legislate repub.
licanism onto the state for all time
to come.

light of the record of the silver
Legislature Of two years ago are
publishing a long list of laws en-
acted by the session just closed.
The list is lengthy enough-too
lengthy for its kind-but a peru
sal of it fails to disclose any
measures of vital importance to
the people. Every meritorious
measure enacted was favored by

such a nature as to encourage them

American brand Of civilization, hu.
nanity and freedom, remarks the
Washington Assayer. They are
getting the best that this admins
lration has in stock-the same
brand of equality and fraternity
that we have been using at home
so lav;shly during the past few
years. Out at Cahokia, ILL.,, the
negroes who were imported from
the south to supplant the former
white mine workers, causing the
bloody riots of last fall, are now
starving and freezing in a camp
where they have been abandoned
by the men who brought them
there. Having served the pur-
pose of their masters, it matters
little what becomes Of them. This
is the kind of civilization, the
blessings of which we are so ear
nestly trying to impress upon the
Fiiipinos in our "war for human
