Well however 1t may be analysed In
religion or ethics, as practical political
asset it Is good thing for the Republican
party to know that Mr. Clement is In line
again. He certainly Is, because he per-
sonally inspected draft of the platform
to be submitted to the state convention
and expressed his approval Of it without
suggesting change, and since the ticket
was nominated he has subscribed literally
to the state campaign fund Mr. Clement
Is too good Republican not to realize
taat the party expects every man to do
his best for 1t in this year when the pres
idency Is at stake. st Adams Messen-
ger,
Editor Greene speaks By the card, as he
was present when Mr.. Clement was shown
the draft Of the Republican platform. The
party is working in thorough harmony
this year.

SMITHS STATEMENT.
Cross Exami nation of the Mormon
 Was Continued To-Day.

Washington. March 5.--Calling Pres ident Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon church to the stand to-day, Attorney A. s. Worthington resumed cross-ex- animation for the defense in the in vestigation before the senate commit tee on privileges and elections in the case of Reed Shoot of Utan. He asked MT Smith if he had any stat1s- tics showing the proportion of polyga- mists ill the Mormon population.
 MT Smith said his recollection is that when the Utah commission was created in 1882 and undertook to ad- minister the laws of the territory, 12, 900 polygamists were excluded from voting.
 'sAs the women vote in Utah." he said, "and as it requires two women to one man to form polygamy in the state, probably the number of males excluded as polygamists would not be more than 4.O00."
 Senator Dubois exercised a right to question the witness at this point and said the population then was about 22O,OOO and of that number there were about 5O.O00 Gentiles. He wanted ex- c1uded from, consideration the number not in condition to enter a state of polygamy. He said Presluent Smith S statement of the percentage in polyga- my included sucking babes and chill dren and that he objected to having Mir Smiths statement go before the country unchal1en ged

 MT Bannard's sally was greeted with tremendous cheering and the secretary was compelled to make a brief speech. He referred exclu- sively to the Philippine Islands, say ing:
 "We are not there to treat the Fili- pinos as a conquered people. Many Of the 100000 Filipinos are Chris tians. Their religious ideals, how ever crude they may be, are essen tially Christian in character, and in this respect they differ from all the other yellow races.
 'The natives are learning English rapidly and appreciate the value to them of their American teachers. It is 3 new experience for them The Spaniards objected to their learning Spanish even.
 Il want to make strong plea for. an open market It will be better for them and for us. Even if 1t does not benefit us. we owe it to them. I hope we shall give them great many tariff concessions. want Yale men to take an interest in the F1i1pinos and give some of their best thought toward solving the problems ncdental to our new possessions"

THE NEW SCHEME.
Adopted by Superintendent Hotch-
 Kiss for Street Cleaning.

Superintendent Hotchkiss of the street and sewer department has made change in the old plan of street cleaning. For some time past certain men had charge of portions of street and were held personally res ponsible for the way they were kept. Now all have been organized into one gang with new foreman and will go from one place to another in a body so that the whole responsibility will rest upon the foreman. This may turn out to be an improvement upon the old way, for the men will be under the eye of the boss right along if that amounts to anything.
 The men met at the rink building this morning and those who saw them with their brooms, shovels and picks supposed the crowd was hired for the purpose of making one grand attack upon the rickety old structure and putting it out of business at once Others thought Mir Hotchkiss had got mad about something and fred all the men. There was nothing wrong, however, and the men fell in under the new order quite cheerfully, all claiming that it made no difference to them whether they worked singly or in q bunch.

MASTODON FOUND
Huge Animal Imbedded in Earth--Thawing Plant
 Had to be Used.

Seattle, Wash, March 5.-The com plete form of mastodon has been dis covered at Hillside, on Quartz creek, according to a dispatch received by the Post-Intelligencer from Dawson, Y. T. It was imbedded thirty-eight feet in the earth when found and the use of a steam thawing plant was necessary to ur1earth the immense animal. The hair and the skin of the beast are in a perfect state of, preservation, although the flesh is somewhat decomposed. and the big tusks which remain fastened to the skull are in good condition. If Is estimated that the skeleton is worth about $5O,OOO, as there are but one or two of them in existence in as good a condition as 1s this. The mastodon was discovered buried in an old chan nel, well in the zone of almost per petual frost, which accounts for it's excellent preservation.
