The Roman Catacombs.

The catacombs form a network of
passages, or subterranean galleries
eXcavated in the tufa that un1crlics
so much of the district round Rome.
At first confined in extent, and with
boundaries more or less regularly de-
fined, the passages became inter
laced as they continued to extend, till
they formed the apparently ineXtric-
able labyrinth they now present. In
the sides of these galleries are rows
of horizontal inches, each the length
of human body, some large, some
smaller, according to the age, called.
in the language of the epitaphs, locus
or loculus. These are mostly single,
but when constructed for two bodies
they receive the name bisomus, if for
three, trisomus; for four, quadriso-
mus. Rarely larger excavations are
found, which are called pOlyandra,
where many bodies lies interre1 to-
gether. The loculus was closed
some times with a marble slab, more
frequently with tiles closely cement
ed. Often the name of the deceased
is carved on the marble, or painted
with minimum on the tiles, with accla-
nations full of affection and hope
frequently rudely executed, some,
times badly spelled, but always
touching in their simplicity. Symbols
and figures expressing the finest sen
timents of the Christian faith, and
prayer: monogram, a dove, an olive
branch, are met with; but by far the
greatest number of those graves are
nameless, and mark made in the
wet lime-a gem, coin, a shell, YES
sells of various kinds, even Bit OF
brick imbedded in the mortar-was
all that was placed by the relatives t.
indicate the resting place of the de
ceased.

After the ship subsidy bill has be-
come a law it is expected that it will
be in order to propose subsidies for
farmers, lawyers, doctors, foundries,
merchants, miners and newspapers.
There is no earthly reason why the
subsidy business should stop at steam
ships. If it is right to give a steam
ship company the peoples money, it
is far Fighter to give 1t to mer
up.

1t is not surprising that the local
correspondent of the Anaconda Stand
ard has been seized with an attack
of the anti-vice fever. The disease is
epidemic all over the country, from
Cape Cod to Kalamazoo, and from hell
to breakfast, as Henry Watterson
would say. In New York, Chicago,
Kansas City, San Francisco, ST. Louis,
Butte, Missoula and Spokane, the pur-
ity crusaders have donned their war
paint and feathers and have declared
everlasting warfare upon slot ma
chimes, dance halls and whiskey. In
Kalispell the holy warfare has not
yet taken definite form, but the Ana
cOnda Standard correspondent has
evidently scented the battle from afar
and is combing out the plume of his
knightly helmet and putting needle
point upon his truSty lance, prepare
tory to fitting at the windmills of vice
The correspondent in question is q
doughty warrior, and the hosts of sir
and wickedness in this city may vel
tremble when he arms for the fray
When he sounds the clarion call tt
battle there is likely to be great up
rising and kalispell will receive ;
cleaning out that will be memorable
for days to come. 1t is to be hoped tina
the esteemed correspondent will no
overlook the alleys and back yards
on the east side in his sanity eager
ness to clean out the dens of vice OF
the west side.

The expert political economist who
edits the Helena Independent is en-
gagged in the business of exploding
economic fallacies, while at the same
time he is upholding the man who
stands as the most notorious eXpon:
ent Of political debauchery in the
United States. Defense of Clarkism
and opposition to the prevailing eco
nomic system IS a truly wonderful
combination.

which are entirely unknown. Much re-
mains to be done in Thibet despite
the successes OF Russian, English and
French traveller and Indian surveys
This is particularly the case of the
land north of the route or Main Singh
Q674-1S75), south Of the Kwenlum
and west of the route of the journey
of De Rims in 1898. North of the
kwenlum and Of the routes of the
Prschewalski and Hedin, stretching to
the Taruio, are extensive unknown
deserts. The eastern half of the
Hymalayas is known only in incom-
plete outline. The highest peaks of
the earth in this region have been
measured by trigonometry from the
flats of the Ganges river, but their
bases nor their tops have not been
reached.
Unknown in the sense of modern
research is also the territory east
Of Bhutan across the Tsangpo, Brah-
maputra and the Yangtsekiang. In
the southern part of Arabia is the So
called vacant quarter, as will be
seen from glance at the map, an
area more than twice the extent of
the German empire.
In Africa the researches have been
particularly active, and what is known
of this continent is almost exclusively
the result of the work in the nine
teenth century. But still there is
much darkness in regard to this con-
tinent and the classic question Quid
novi ex Africa? will probably be re-
peated for many years. A territory
little known is between the Niger in
Tidikelt in the north the route of
Lenz in the west and the route Of
Barth and Duveyries in the east. Much
remains to be done in the Congo
State. Here the courses of the larger
rivers have been surveyed, but the

OF the Congo and the adjoining part
of British East Africa. The south
of Madagascar is also unknown.
1t may be surprising to many peo-
pie in North America, yet glance
at the black spots on the chart will
show this to be the fact. Research in
the far Northeast and in Alaska, caus-
ed by the gold finds, only begins to
show how much remains to be done
here, despite the energy with which
the governments Of the United States
and Canada push surveys year after
year. Much territory is also still
uneXplored.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1900.
COMING SENATORIAL CONTESTS.

The senatorial contests on the
cards for this winter will be watched
with unusual interest. All are to be
waged on the old plan. There has
been no instruction by primary or
mass convention in any case. Avowed
candidates have been in the field, and
many state legislators are personally
committed, but in no instance will a
legislature meet and ratify choice
already indisputably made by party
authority, says the Washington Post.
This will lead to spirited contests, and
not unlikely to more than one dead
lock. And lucky will be the country
if it does not lead to more than one
scandal.
We may read in this situation one
of the great benefits that would result
from choosing senators by direct vote.
In all the states where elections are
to be held the senatorial contests are
now the leading topics of discussion.
Nor will any other matters receive
the proper attention by those chosen
legislatures until the senators have
been chosen, All else will be kept
in allegiance. And yet there is much
other important work to be done, and
the legislatures, freed from these SEN
atorial engagements, would be at lib
erty to proceed at once with it. But
whether new state laws are to be
passed, or old ones amended, depends
largely, if not entirely, upon the
length of time it may take to recon-
mission senator now in service OF
turn one down in behalf of new man
Until this matter has been disposed
of it is safe to say that everything else
will be subordinated to it at the diff
ferent state capitals in interest.
In Pennsylvania, in Delaware and il
Montana the situation will be one o.
especial gravity. In the one state Mr.
Quay is opposed by a powerful com
bination, and his methods of warfare
embrace all of the aggressive agencies
of politics. He expresses confidence
in his ability to win, but his prepare
lions indicate that the issue is reall,
in great doubt In the other two state
it is plain enough that Doodle vii
be the watchwOrd. Mr.. Addicks an
Mr.. Clark are rich, and heretOfOr
have been known in politics only i
connection with their enormous can
paign contributions in their own il
dividual behalf.
In time the desired change will b
made. The people will elect the
senators by direct vote, and in doin
so will remove from the state legisl
lures both a menace and an obstru
