ANARCHIC SOCIAL CONDITIONS
They Have Existed in Various Parts of

They Have Existed in Various Parts of
 the World in Our Day.
 Anarchism is as old as and indeed older than human civilization. Primi- tive man was so weak that he could not face the surrounding dangers of life alone, and so he had to apply for mu- tual help to his fellowmen. Thus an association of all the members of the tribe became a necessity; but property was communistic, because 1t belonged to everybody and to every one alike. The anarchic state of mankind lasted for long time, and underwent change only when the institution of pri- vate ownership of property was estab- lished. There are, however, still num- Der of peoples living to-day whose so- cial condi tions are anarchic in the true sense of the word. A few extracts from. the writings of prominent ethnologists will prove the truth of this contention.
 Schoocraft says of the Chippeway- ans: Though they have no regular government, as every marH is lord in his own family, they are influenced more or less by certain principals which con- duce to their general benefit" Of the unorganized Shoshones, Bancroft writes: Every man does as he likes. Private revenge, of course occasional ly overtakes the murderer. or, if the sympat athies of the tribe be with the murdered man, he may possible be pub licly executed, but there are no fixed laws for such cases.
 From the Nagas of India we learn that they acknowledge no king among themselves, and deride the idea of such a parsonage among otf CTS; their "vil- laees are continually at feud."
 Every man being his own master, his passions and incl'nations are ruled by his share of brute force" And then we read that petty disputes and disa gree ments about property are settled by council of elders, the litigants volun- tarily submitting to their arbitration. But correctly speaking there is not the shadow of a constituted authority in the Naga community, and, wonderful as it may seem, this want Of govern ment does not lead to any marked de- gree of anarchy" That is to say, an archy is well at hand, but not in the form of a state of disorder
 The Greenland Fskimoes too are en- tirely without political control; having nothing which represents it more clearly than the difference paid to the opinion of some old man skilled in seal-catching and the signs of the weather. But an Eskimo who is offended by another has his remedy in what is called singing combat He composes satirical poem and challenges his antagonist to a satirical duel in face fo the tribe; He who has the last word wins the trial" Indeed, very simple and harmless way to settle quarrelsl Of one of the tribes of the northwest coast we read that ''the Salish can hardly be said to have any regular form of government" .

catering to their modest needs.
 I have mentioned but few of the birds that may be found in the latitude or New York in the winter. Of hawks ana owls there are seven or eight species, of woodpeckers at least three, includ- ing the eomical golden-wlnged or flick CT. The finch family count up to six or eight, among them the choice singers of the summer, the song sparrow, the purple finch and the white-throated, and in addition those cratic visitors the crossbills and the snowflake. All these besides the foreigners whom we have always with us" To these may be added the winter wren, the tiny golden- crowned k'nglet, the brown creeper and two or three game birds.-Olive Thorne Miller in Washington Star.

to be sure of getting low enough. When the smoke cleared off the bird was still there He always had confi- dence in himself and the gun, but be- gan to think there must be something the matter with one or the other, as he took aim for third time, but at the birds legs. Same result.
 Then he became desperate, and talk ing rest, shot at the birds body, re- gardless of the danger of tearing the game all to pieces. This time the shot took effect and the bird fell. When Mir Stacy went oGt to the log he found four dead grouse, one with the head shot off, the second hit in the neck, the third in the lower part of the body and the last riddled through and through.
 He accounts for it on the theory that there were four birds, and that one hopped on the log as the other was knocked off. When his friends smile at the yarn he always expects it, but nevertheless declares 1t to be the gospel truth.-Morning Oregonian.

Sangstor. In the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, addressing girls who have gone
from home into the world TO seek
their livelihood. Never let Sunday
afternoon drift out without your hour
spent In an intimate and loving
letter to the dear mother. This Is n
good occupation for Sunday, and can
hardly tell you how minute and con.
fdeRtial and affectionate this writing
should be. But there is no need.
You know what you like TO hear from
home, and what mother and father
most long for, when your letters
come, follow those letters. Mother
is In tho kitchen, washing the dishes.
She wipes her hands and sits down in
the low rockIng-cheir by the window
where the lilac is beginning to bud
Father stands between the table and
the door, waiting TO hear what you
have said, and aware that he must
wait until mother has satisfied her
heart with the first reading. Then IL
VIII be his turn. To them both you
are, and you will always be, just their
own little girl, and you can never
send them line which they will not

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID
In His second Inaugural Address-Rem-
iniscent and Prospective,

AS the president turned to the multi
tude of his fellow citizens to speak
hush fell upon them that was one Of
the most impressive incidents OF the
day He spoke as follows:
My fellow Citizens: When we as
sembled here on the 4th of March,
1897, there was great anxiety with re-
gard to our currency and credit. None
exists now. Then our treasury re-
celpts were inadequate to meet the cur
rent obligations of the government.
Now they are sufficient for all public
needs, and we have a surplus instead
of a deficit. Then l felt constrained
to convene the congress in extraordi-
nary session to devise revenues to pay
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment. Now | have the satisfaction to
announce that the congress just closed
has reduced taxation in the sum Of
S41 100000. Then there was deep So
licitude because of the long depression
In our manufacturing, mining, agricul-
tural and mercantile industries and
the consequent distress Of our labor
ing population. Now every avenue
Oh IIbIUtlloU IL ffO"uE VIII hGlIN-
ity, labor is well employed, and Ameri-
can products find good markets at
home and abroad.
Our diversified productions, how
ever, are increasing in such gunprece-
dented volume as TO admonish us OF
the necessity of still further charging
our foreign markets by broader COM
mercial relations For this purpose
reciprocal trade arrangements with
other nations should in liberal spirit
be carefully cultivated and promoted.
The national verdict of 1896 has for
the most pdrt been executed. What
ever remain unfulfilled is a continu-
ing obligation resting with undimin-
ished force upon the executive and the
congress But fortunate as our con-
diltioa is, its permanence can only be
assured by sound business methods
and strict economy In national admin
istration and legislation. We should
cot permit our great prosperity TO lead
- to reckless ventures in business or
proflgacy in public expenditures.

A few days ago The Republican had
an item to the effect that the residence
of William Good, of Red Buttes, had
been entered, presumably by tramps,
and a rifle and a pair of field glasses
stolen.
The two tramps had been seen on
house, and had also been seen to point
toward the house.
Sheriff Cook and his deputies went
to work on the case, but were unable
to locate the tramps or GOV the
stolen articles. although the officers
went to Cheyenne and came back over
the tracks facing all the east-bound
pedestrians.
The search was abandoned, and Mr..
Good gave up all hope of ever recov-
ering the articles. There was no clue
to the men and not a very good de-
scription, SO the chase was abandon
ed.
Yesterday afternoons mail brought
the following letter to The Republican.
1t is very poorly written. covers six
pages of note paper and has a diagram
of the country in which the writer says
the articles are to be found. The let
ter follows:
