THE REAL BABYLON.

/ Reports have just reached here of the
extraordinarily successful results of the
German exploration party on the site
of ancient Babylon.
/ DR.. Holloway, the leader of the expe-
dition, declares that the description of
the city by Herodotus is right in the.
main facts but quite wrong as to its
extent
According to Herodotus, Babylon was
as large as Raris, London and Berlin
combined. AS matter of fact, its real
dimensions were equal to about one
fifth of the superficial area of London
The walls of Babylon, Herodotus says
We're of enormous size and thickness
This is not so, as the German archaic
ologists have proved. ~
The principal town was on the left
bank of the Euphrates. 1t was built in
the form of a triangle. the sides of
which measured Az, S1a and 81 kilo-
metres. 1t was surrounded by still
traeeable walls. The diameter of the
city was about 10 kilometres.
Much excavation has been accom-
plished. with the happiest result. Sew
eral buildings have been unearthed
which are easily located in the Bible
One of these Is the Kasr or palace of
acknowledgements. This is Identical with
the Schuana of ancient Scriptures. The
New Years Day procession for the
Temple of Marduk started from this
point and the King was obliged to ac-
company it on pain of the forfeiture of
his throne.
: The principal Babylonian temple. Am
ran, Identical with the Egasila of the
Scriptures, has also been discovered;
also the road between Egasila and the
citadel or palace of Schuana called All
Bur-Shabou.
Imgur Bel and Nimiti Bel the great
Durani of Babylon, are not walls, as
had been thought, but bastions.
The Babylon of the Bible is distinctly
not the city, but the fortified palace or
citadel of NebuchadnezZar.
The hill Babil is probably the ruins OF
the celebrated hanging gardens of Sc
miramis The Tower of Babylon prob
ably stood near the Temple of Marduk,
on the spot now known as the Hill Six

been made proving the extraordinary

A Reformed" Sovereign.

1t seems that King Edward has
manhood enough in him to arise to
the dignity of ruler of the foremost
nation in the world, after all. As the
prohigate prince, very little hope was
entertained of reformation that
might lead to satisfactory results. 1t
is said that he has quietly conveyed to
his fast associates the intimation that
the Prince of Wales no longer lives
and that the King may recognize only
those presented to him as sovereign.
This means no moro gay club parties;
no more bacarrat, or race-track associ-
atoms. He will not accept any pri.
vate invitations and if he condescends
to visit any one, it will be in the form
of q royal mandate to some noble to
prepare to receive the sovereign with
all the pomp due to his station.
1t is said that this formality applies
to women as we'll, and that not even
the divine Langtry may pose as an
equal of the King as she did Of the
Prince. Indeed, it is confidently as
serted that the Queen will have much
to say as to the women who will be
hereafter received at court.

The u. 8. Court Takes q Hand.

1t has long been known that ad-
ministratiOn of law in Alaska has been
a farce, but it is only at this time that
successful effort has been made to
hold those charged with judicial duty
responsible for their trusts. The U.
5. Circuit Court Of Appeals, in San
Francisco, Monday, took the initiative
in securing some respect for the sane.
tity OF law by finding Alexander Nc
Kenzie, the Cape Nome receiver, guilty
of contempt in two cases and sem
fenced him to serve a year in the
county Jail. The court likewise took
occasion to denounce the high hand
ed and grossly illegal proceedings in
stituted after the arrival OF Judge
Noyes" The court says it has no
parallel in the Jurisdiction OF this
country, and he congratulates the peo-
pie of Nome on their forbearance in
not taking matters into their own
hands"
The contempt consisted in refusal
of Mckenzie to obey writ of super
sedeas issued by Judge Morrow in two
cases, directing him as receiver, to
turn over money and gold dust in his
possession to its owners.

An Energetic Appeal

The Skagh County Times foists
upon our legislators another candi-
date for State capital, and that candi-
date is the hyphenated town OF Sedro-
Wooley. The Times insists that it is
accessible, comedy, enterprising, has
a future and. like Olympia, a fine
opera house, where the legislators could
so and legislate to their hearts con-
tent. There are likewise" says this
loquacious writer" short order restaur-
ants where members of the House can
do little side legislating over u "pan
roast" There are also hundreds of
quiet hooks among the brush and else
where which could be utilized by men,
bers OF the third house to "see" their
man. In addition, Sedro- Wooley has
as pretty girls and women as ever
swept sidewalk with long dresses,
and who might soon equal Olympia
femininity in the way of helping along
little legislation by archly bestowing
soft. coy pat upon the cheeks of a
baldheaded and stubborn member
from some back township"
1t does not get down TO business,
however, until it arrives at its con.
Guiding sentence, which reads:
Wise heads, round heads and swelled
heads of our State Congress, we greet
you with an offer that is positively juicy
in its generosity.

A Medical Crank.

The town OF Appleton, Wis, pos
sesses medical maniac, in DIR. Roder-
mund, who just now is attempting to
demonstrate a theory which has ap-
parently turned his brain. He is try
ing, with internal cunning, to scatter
the germs OF smallpox, to disprove
what he calls "the absurd theory that
certain diseases are infectious" He
visited a smallpox patient, and delibe-
rately smeared the virus over his
hands, face and body and then put
himself in contact with rs many peo-
pie as possible. When the horrible
fact became known, a panic, of course,
ensued, and the doctor was placed
under quarantine, with armed guards
to prevent his communication with
the people of the neighborhood. He
denounced the medical profession as a
fraud, and its practitioners as impost-
ors and humbugs, intent upon robbing
the people for service that not only
does no good but actual harm. He
says, "The greater the humbug, the
greater the assumption of dignity to
cover up the monstrous rascality of it."
Whether he is wholly right or wrong
in this assumption, or partially right
or wrong, or entirely wrong, is not the
present object to determine. There is
no disposition to question the falsity
of his position that smallpox and
many other diseases areSnot contag-
ious.
Dr. Rodermund succeeded, however,
in escaping from quarantine, sneak
ing past the guard at night, and pro-
ceeding to Terre Haute, Ind, scatter
ing, it is feared, trail OF infection
over wide scope of country.

Mrs. Nations idea that temperance
reformers "aim to make the world

Prohibitory law is not reformatory it

easier to reform. The only prohibi-
tory law" he maintains, "that can
reform the individual, is one written
on the statute.book of the conscience.
All reformers think this and il is be-
cause of this, that they desire to see
it written on the statute books of the

A Husband by Contract.

1t will be remembered about year
ago " sassiety" was agog over the mar
riage OF bright girl on the salary roll
in Washington to Walter P. Turner
niece of U. S. Senator George Tur-
ner, OF this State, simply to use him
as chaperon for visit to the Paris
exhibition.
Probably, however, people had for.
gotten the transaction, which was only
notable from its novelty and absurdity
being nothing more nor less than a
q" Marriage by Contract" q method not
sanctioned by the legal code. The
matter is again forced upon public at.
tention by an application for divorce,
Mrs. Turner alleging in her complaint
that her husband, whom she welded
last March solemnly promised that
she should be his wife only in name
and that he would release her from
the martial bonds soon a. they re-
turned from the worlds fair. Now,
she alleges he refuses to release her,
although she has persistently insisted
that he fulfill his obligation to her.
1t is hardly probable that the staid
Judge. who will pass upon the matter,
will see any statutory or just grounds
for divorce under such circumsta noes

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Proposit ion in Behalf Of the High Schoo

Propost ion in Behalf of the High School,
During all the history of our exist.
ence as a commonwealth, both Terri.
torial and State, Thurston county
members have had to vote IL nder
duress. If they did not, they were inn
mediately threatened with the re-
moval of the capitol. One Legislature
did vote to remove it to Vancouver.
The capital, in early days, thought
was not much advantage in a moral
view. Most of the appointees were
saloon men. The Indians mimicked
| some OF them. showing how the tyees
did when they were drunk, and the
Indians were star actors. Several Of
the early officers died from drink.
One man said he did not come out for
the honor, or the pay of the Office. He
came out "to give tone and character
to the Democratic party His friends
had to watch him, to prevent boys
snlping him. The first saloon in
Olympia was called Mika and Nika."
Seattle, between the meetings of the
Legislature, FASTENED to sell the uni
versity land when it was cheap, and
build large wooden building, when
not needed, causing the loss OF the
University endowment. Seattle now
has grown so strong it can tax the
State an unlimited amount for the
university by swapping the whip over
the rest OF the State. / see the pub
lished lectures had in the university
teach that mans ancestors are not only
monkeys but the lowest type of mon
keys known. l suppose the law pro-
hibiting the Bible in common schools
applies to the university also. There
is not the same degree of justice in
taxing the State for the university
and normal schools as there is for
common schools.
Under the present school law, all
the children of the State have an equal
benefit of the tax. And graduation in
the common school now is equal to an
academic course. Farther taxation is
questionable and doubtful. In order
to graduate in the common school, the
last four grades must be taught in the
central high school. That makes the
high school county school in Thurs
ton county, and the county is under
obligation to assist in its support.
All that | have heard speak on the
subject think the Olympia high school
has not room enough now, and the
number of scholars will increase fast
Some districts graduated several in
the eighth grade last year, and some
of them have gone to other counties
for the other four grades. There are
over fifty districts in the county, and
an average of one graduate in the
eighth grade would occur each year.
