Men of Mighty Feet,

From III" Kansas city Journal.
Was the great west inhabited by a race
of giants in prehistoric days? r. b. Laird
who was in Kansas City yesterday, claims
to have new evidence that it was He is a
New England geologist who has spent
many months In making Investigations in
the canons, table lands and gorges OF
Arizona. He left for the east last night
with his evidence, in the shape of vol
luminous typewriter manuscript carefully
put away in a handbag. He declined to
make public the full purport of the docu-
ment.
Mr.. Laird makes no boast at having had
a hand in the investigation, but says the
discoveries We're made by guide who has
been a resident of Williams, Ariz, for
many years, and who has been in every
nook and Granny of the mountains in that
district. The claim that there existed in
prehistoric times race Of giants is old
but proofs are not found every day. In
this case they We're found in the shape of
immense footprints which have become
hardened in the limestone formations of the
district.
To substantiate his statements Mr.. Laird
carries with him several photographs
showing by comparison with the foot of a
miner the relative size of the giants foot
when it is seen that the depression IN the
rCck strata, caused by the great toe is
more than twice large as the miners
foot. The fact that animals in prehistoric
periods We're of such immense size is ad-
Vaneed as an argument that man was also
abn0rmally large. Laird is a firm believer
in this theory.

Russell Sage's Criticisms.

From the Chicago Res ord.
Railroad people have an arrangement by
which they can register the speed of
train. II looks like a steam gauge and is
connected with the axle, SO that the point
err registers the number of revolutions every
minute There are many revolutions TO
the mile. and by an ingenious ARA ngement
the number Of miles an hour is shown upon
the dial. The apparatus is expensive as
well delicate.
The late Jay Gould was one of the first
to adopt it, and shortly after a register
was placed in his private car Russell Sage
was making journey with him and in.
CURED what it was. Mr.. Gould explained
the mechanism and the usefulness of the
machine with great care. Mr.. Sage was 81

inquired:

ter in the least. The decree has

the moral phaze Of this question,

some of the more highly wrought

in this mornings dispatches that
Croker has changed his views

this should clear the atmosphere

things may be overtaxed so far as
to produce a reaction. 1t is sim
pie justice to President Mckinley
to recall the fact that, il he could
have had his way, there would
have been no war last year nor
this year, no war with Spain ia
1903 leading up to the Philippine
trouble Of 1899. Had the press
ure for war not been increased
beyond his or any other mans
power Ofresistance BY the tragedy
in Havana harbor on February
IS, 1893, there is every reason to.
believe that peace would have
been preserved; that Spain would
have let go her hold on Cuba,
thus relieving the ''intolerable
situation" that constituted the cas-
US 6elH. While. President Nc
Kinley was working toward that
contamination against great OPP
position, the "Maine" horror dash
ed his hope Of peace to the winds
and made war inevitable.
A generation ago we had a
great war in the United States,
and there were many thousands
of citizens on the Union side Of
the line whose symPathieS were
on the other side. They called
that mighty upheavel "Lincoln's
war" It was a false and mean
phrase, intended to serve an un-
patriotic purpose. There is no;
much similarity between that con-
fiict among brethren and this sup
preston Of Tagal insurgents, but
they are precisely alike in the
fact that no President or Cabinet
was responsible for either Of them.
This is no more McKiniey's than
that was Lincoln's war--Wash.

TasaIs Not FlIlpInOs.

Some people are inclined to be-
lieve that all of the Philippine is
lands are in revolt against the
United States; that they dc not
want us there and are willing to
sacrifice everything if they can
have government of their own.
AS matter of fact the majority
of the Filipinos, and that means
the tribes not included with the
Tagals, would prefer a govern
ment of the United States to one
made up of the mercenary advent
urers who are now leading the
rebellion in Luzon. The United
States would give the other tribes
fair treatment; Aguinaldo and
his Tagal associates would i'm
pose a tyranny far worse than
that which Spain was guilty of.
President Schurman's official
Investigations have confirmed the
fact that the Philippine trouble is
simply and solely a revolt. 1t is
confined to one tribe of 100000
people, occupying one-half of the
Island of Luzon, and finds nc
sympathizers among the rest o.
the 5000, 900 inhabitants of the
archipelago. The Tagals them.
selves are not unanimous in Their
support of Aguinaldo, and the
total strength of the rebellion
dwindles to the few tens of thous
ands of fighting men that can b
drawn from this one disafecteC
tribe. The five provinces of Lu.
zon occupied by Tagals constitute
the whole of the territory to b
reclaimed. The rest of the So'
islands are friendly or neutral, an
many of the tribes openly prefe
American rule and will not toler
ate Tagal domination.-Spokes

"McKinley's war on the Fill
pinos" is a phrase much affected
by many Of our anti-expansion
contemporaries. 1t originated
with The organs of the anti Inn
periall league, and we think it
would have been wiser on the
part of the more conservative OPP
ponents of the Administration had
they kept their hands off that
piece of property and permitted
the Atkinsonians to have the sole
use of their invention. 1t never
pays in politics more than in BUSH
ness or social matters to be UNI
truthful. The voting masses may
be deceived for a time by mis- :
representation, but finally "the
truth comes uppermost."
There may be citizens so ignor-
ant of the Constitution and laws
of the United States and the facts
of the situation that they can be
made to believe that one man has
madean is carrying on "war

persons is not great, and even their

pie OF the stare;
In reply TO a request of Hon.
w. E. Borah, the prominent Sill
yer Republican and foremost law
yer in the state, for h views on
the situation in the state at the
present time, we have received
the following interesting COM
munication;
Boise, Idaho, Aug IA, 1900
Hon. George N. lift, Pocatello,
Idaho: Dear Friend lift 81 have
before me your late letter and in
answer will say, that | have no
objection to giving my views on
the political situation, but in doing
so, do not claim to voice the SEN
timents of any party or organiza-
tim, nor neither do arrogate to
myself the power to foreshadow
platforms or name presidents. l
express individual views.
The first question and the one
which seems foremost in the
minds of all, is that of fusion.
l apprehend that we are about
through with fusion. AS Silver
Republicans, our experience has
been rather instructive and pain
fully conclusive, SO far as the fus-
ion is concerned. There were
many who thought it mistake
from the start and believed it en-
tirely wrong in principle, but sub
mitted to it because they thought
that it would lead to the forma-
ton of a new party, which W ould
accomplish something along the
lines of monetary reform. In
other words, it was thought to be
one of the unfortunate incidents of
that political chaos in the midst of
which we found ourselves when
we felt constrained to leave the
financial plank.
But, whatever difference of
opinion may have existed: what
ever of hesitancy or faltering
three years ago there should be
none now. Fusion is not only a
failure viewed in the light of eX-
pediency and as a mere question
of machine politics, but is a puer-
lie, characterless system of poll
tics, and no measure of reform,
however great, can succeed by or
through its aid. So far as l am
concerned, shall not again sup
port any kind of a fusion. | in
Clude in this, that fusion now
sometimes limited at, the fusion
between the Gold and Silver Re-
publicans.
A little reflection shows how
nightly fusion has wrought for
the Silver Republicans. Towne
destroyed in Minnesota, Hartman
traded out and Mantle retired in
Montana, Dubois defeated in Ida
no and Cannon butchered in Utah
we have the largest political
graveyard for the length OF time
we have been in business OF any
political organization in the his
tory of the world. Our allies
said to US in :he beginning, abe
thou faithful unto DEATH" but lit
tie did we dream of just what
they meant.
For myself, / can see no reason
for change of views on the Sill
yer question and | believe that a
canvass would show less than one
per cent of the Silver Republi-
cans have changed. 1t was not
for slight or trivial causes that
the Silver Republicans left the
old party of whose brilliant his
tory they were proud. They left
because of a deepsealed convic-

The Old Fight.

II mas prevailed from almost the
beginning. A narrow provincial
ism gave the fathers the idea that
the thirteen original States were
enough within which to concen-
trate and expand. Able men
fought the acquisition of Louisi-
ana. 1t was pointed out that a
different race, belonging to a diff
ferent sect peopled that region.
But Jefferson with clear eyes saw
what it would be to have the
mouth of the Mississippi in for
eign territory; he knew that un-
der our plan of government there
should be no conflict of creeds,
and looking ahead fifty years, he
stamped upon the petty prejudic-
es of the hour and completed the
magnificent purchase. 1t was
even worse when the acquisition
of the Northwest was considered,
the greatest brains Of the country
fought it. 1t was but entailing a
vast region of barren wastes with
only vegetation enough to sup
port wild animals, and swept per-
petually by furious storms. The
feeling against the annexation Of
Texas was even more bitter, But
when it was acquired and with it
the golden coast, and when Cali
fornia began to yield its treasure
and a Pacific railroad began to be
agitated, then the cry was raised
that it was impossible, or, if in
deed possible, then it could never
bring any interest on the mighty
cost. At that time, fifty years
ago, nearly, an inspired soul drew
a picture of what was to be, wheR
the trade Of the Pacific should
exceed that of the Atlantic be-
cause around its shores dWelt
6oo,ooo,ooo of people, and in the
natural order of things the Unit
ed States, with its long coast line
on that ocean, and with the ire
sistabIe energy of the American
people behind it, by right should
dominate the trade of an ocean
upon the shores of which 600, :
ooo, 900 of the earth's people
dwell. The road was finally
completed, and then another and

ert melted away and in its stead
