It's Fiftieth Anniversary.

The Republican party will celebrate the
fftieth anniversary of its organization, at
Jackson, Michigan, on July 6. Beginning in
1861 il has controlled national affairs almost
continuously, brought on two wars, brought
into existencetrusts through the fostering intiu
ence of high protective tariffs and increased
the expenses ofgovernment from sixty millions
a year to nearly eight hundred millions. 1t was
conceived in hatred and born in malice, and has
always been sectional party. That part of
the Union lying south of the Potomac and the
Ohio have never been given any fair consider
alton by the Republican party, as to legisa-
ton or appointments to high governmental
positions. On the contrary that section was
held as conquered provinces aud robbed. pill
laged and plundered by a set of carpet-bag-
gers from the North.
The Republican party has beautiful re-
cord, and on the occasion of the anniversary
review of it would be Interesting. Ifanything
but rascality in public life has been done, we
are not aware of it A partial list includes the
whisky frauds, the star-route frauds, the credit
mobilier, army contracts, naval contracts, en-
balmed beef, postofice frauds, and corruption
and exlravagance in general.

DIR. Richard p. Strong, Director Of the
Biological Laboratory at Manila, declares
there is danger Of yellow fever being carried
by commercial vessels from Panama 10 the
Far East.
Near Lancaster, Pa, on May q, John Red
cav, was instantly killed, John Horst died an
hour later and Henry D. Weaver injured by
an explosion of dynamite in a stone quarry in
East Earl township. After placing the charge
the men used an iron raurod to force it
home. The rod detonated the dualin cap,
and the explosion occurred while Redcay aud
Horst were standing over the charge. Redcay
was literally blown to pieces, Horst had both
arms blown off and pieces Of stone were
driven into his lungs. Weaver, who was
some distance away, was painfully but not
seriously injured
A dispatch from Santa Fe, New Mexico,
says in excavating the bed of the Zuni river
for dam site quite number of well preserved
mastoden tusks and bones were found. Some
of the latter were ribs IA feet in length. These
have been put aside, and the Smithsonian ln-
stitution has been informed ofthe finds. Three
heads of extinct animals were discovered.
They are about feet in length aud 10 inches
in width. The teeth are well preserved. The
heads have two straight horns, from 10 to 20
inches long. The position Of the eye sockets
under the horns makes it probable that the
animal could look sideways and backward, as
they are situated on the side and quite a dis
lance back on each head.

A Republican View of the Tariff

In last Sundays papers appeared an article
on the Republican Presidential situation. by
Congressman Charles E. Littlefeld. of Maine,
from which the following is an extract:
Again, as to the question Of selling abroad
for less price than an American manufac-
turer actually sells at home, wish to state
here and now that firmly advocate change
in the tariff whenever and wherever by reason
of that tariff an American manufacturer is
able to sell abroad cheaper than be sells at
home. On these two details of the protective
tariff system am of course speaking for my
self alone, but state without fear Of contradic-
ton that | do not know a good Republican
who does not stand on the same ground.

Oklahoma City. Ok, July 15.-Within
radius of so miles of Oklahoma City
