ArchaeoIosist Suggests Mississippi
"Chinese Wall'' for
Capitol.

Gov. Longino, of Mississippi, has re-
ceived letter from Thomas c. Wat.
son, of Hazlehurst, who tells of an inn
mense pile of hewn stones in the south-
eastern corner of Claiborne county
and which he suggests might be used
to advantage in the construction of the
new capitol. He states that these
stones are piled high one on another,
are cemented with fine quality Of
cement and that they cover an area OF
four square miles. Each stone is six
feet long, three wide and two thick and
weighs about two tons.
It has been known for years that
Mississippi held one of the great WON
ders Of the world in the shape of an
immense rock wall 30 feet wide and
which is traceable 40 miles or more
through the counties of Winds, Copiah
and into Claiborne, and this pile Of
which Mr.. Watson now writes is sup
posed to be the termination. OF course
no man knows how, when or by whom
these stones were erected-there is not
even an Indian tradition concerning
them and, necessarily. some prehistoric
race must have done the work.

his honors modestly and conducted the
convention gracefully to the close. When

applause swept over the room. Lincoln's

;HE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Yesterdays state convention was one OF
the most enthusiastic and harmonious
ever held in Montana, and must be con-
strued as an augury of success in Novem-
Der. The adoption of it's platform with
out dissent and the naming of its dele
gates to Philadelphia by reclamation
We're unmistakable evidences of the unity
of purpose that governed that body.
Whatever clashing ambitions may have
ruffled the situation in advance of the
convention, whatever diversity of views
may nave entered into the consideration
of public affairs, they found their level
in intelligent compromises before the ac-
~tivities of the convention began.
The only contest worthy Of note on the
noor of the convention was over the Sc
\action of national committeeman for
Montana, in which Judge De Witt, of this
'ity, defeated the Hon. O.. F. Goddard, of
Killings. The contest was conducted
: Fong friendly ines and it's outcome left
" A'N"i ne YIN ~
ing that while the victor is eminently
xorthy the honor bestowed-as a promi-
.ent representative of republicanism-the
~Enquished was no less worthy the laurels
ne failed to win. Geographical condi
ions largely determined the outcome,
Iather han the personalities of the dis
tinguished gentlemen who were placed in
Nomination for that position.
In view of the political situation in this
state, public interest centered chiefly in
che character Of the platform adopted and
the course of procedure it implied. The
document in it's entirety is strictly along
republican party lines, as was anticipat-
81. and reflects the purpose of the or
garization to put zone but republicans
an guard. Those planks having a bearing
- me conditions brought about by the
democratic party in this state were the
fruits of a compromise, which prevented
an airing of personal views on the floor
of the convention.
Within the membership of the con-
vention We're republicans in sympathy
with the Amalgamated copper trust,
either on general principles or as the
result of salaries drawn for services rem
dered; and there were republicans who,
for similar reasons, felt kindly disposed
toward the Clark end of the democratic
controversy. Naturally enough, these
gentlemen-as parties of the first part
desired a most vigorous, emphatic and
picturesque denunciation of Mr.. Clark
with nothing said in the platform thai
could be construed as rejecting upon
the political nobility of the Daily wing OF
the democratic party; while the friends
of Mr.. Clark were equally soiicitous
that he be handled as gently as the ext
gencies of the political situation would
admit, claiming that the two wings OF
the democracy should be impartial,
treated as jointly responsible for tn,
state of affairs in Montana today.

DID THE STANDARD OWN Hs

While the Inter Mountain makes no
pretense of debating a course of pro-
held aloof from participation in it's eau
cuses and primaries and conventions, de-
string only a condition of affairs that
will lead Up, to the redemption Of this
state from democratic rule, the Ana
conda Standard practically assumes an
ownership of that organization.
Having boosted Of the fact that the de-
mocracy is under it's thumb, and that
the machinery of that organization is
wholly under he control of the influ-
ences which it is subsidized to represent
in a political way, the Standard this
morning would nave the public believe
that yesterdays republican convention
devoted itself entirely to a programme
consistent with the wishes of that news
paper.
The colossal character of the journal
istic gall which confesses to sufficient in
fuence to control the policies of all the
political parties in this state, cannot be
properly described by the feeble pen of
the Inter Mountain. a.
A literary feat of such a character
must be left to an imagination that has
been trained to do two mems work at
the same time without dropping a stitch
That the DAILY democracy had it's rep
resentatives in republican garb on the
floor of the convention yesterday no
one will for a moment doubt, just as they
a their heelers and hoboes in the eau
cuses of that party recently held in this
city.
No one will accuse the Standards po-s
litical machine of such an overwhelming
amount of modesty as to refrain from
trying to Absorb the earth and the full
ness thereof, insofar as opportunity
offers.
With it the burglarizing of a private
room or the stealing of a political eau
GUS, or the raping of the goddess of lib
erty, are merely incidents in the line of
duty to the powers behind the thrOne.s
Despite it's boasts, however, there are.
some things which seem to indicate that
our democratic contemporary did not
absolutely control the republican con-
vention yesterday, with all due respect
for the eloquent gall of it's paid advo-
Gates on h floor of that body. :
The convention had the nerve to not
only endorse William Mckinley, despite
that gentleman's we'll known opposition
to Aguinaldo, but to condemn the de-
mocracy of this state-including the
DAILY wing of it-as well.
1t also made a jab at the trusts, and
in diverse others ways worked at cross
purposes with the programme of the An
aconda Standard.
Naturally, our contemporary is pleased
with the firing of Phillips bodily from
the convention-when Phillips wasn't
there-and the man who worked the
catapult had to pose as a Don Quixote
attacking a windmill, but it doesn t take
much to please the Standard.
That paper is tickled almost to death
because Smith got home, yet it would
have had more cause for rejoicing had
Smith remained at home.
There are really some grounds for
doubling the claims of the Standard that
the republican state convention did
everything that it desired to have done
Still, it is a good plan for ''unem-
when a democratic newspaper and its
friends insist upon their taking one
road it is usually safe for them to take
the other.

strom, dated Monday, January Is, re-
ports that Gen. Gatacre's troops had
made a demonstration beyond Molteno,
in the direction of Stormberg, in the
belief that the Beers intended to seize
Molteno. The Burghers were not

Europe, said to-day:
Remember it is England, not we,
who is mainly responsible for this

pension of hostilities. AS for a re-
fusal of an ~exequatur to Mr.. Hay (the
new United States consul on his way
to Pretoria, to replace Mr.. Macrum),
that rumor appears to come through
what are called Boer agents in Ameri-
