prominence among the practical repub-
lican politicians during the administra-
.tiOnS of Presidents Arthur, Harrison
and Cleveland is quoted as protesting
emphatically against contr' buttons 10

corporations. His words suggest that

rOugh-and-ready fighter, acquainted with
all the tricks of the game. he may not
be unwilling to take the position of Il
virtuous sage. dealing out wholesome

Yet while it is preposterous To as
sumo that heavy campaign contribu-

litical contests. the fact remains that
the admission by The president of the
New York Life Insurance company
that his concern had given $14S,O00
10 the republican party managers in
three successive national campaigns
has set u good many people to thinking
and that the result of this process has
been growing conviction that dona-
lions from such sources ought TO be
barred out in the future.
There is an important distinction be
tween cash contributions by individ-
uals out of their own pockets and con
ributions from the funds of corpora
lions whether these are insurance
companies. railroads or any other form
of organized capital. The man who
i.ives personally to his own party is
acting within his rights. The head of
a corporation who uses money belong
ing 10 stockholders or policyholders for
a shuilar purpose, is pursuing a course
which cannot be justified on any sound
basis. He is not entitled 10 give away
funds which are not his own property.
unless he has the explicit consent OF
their owners. Some of these owners
perhaps in many cases are large pro

Since the election of senators can
be taken from the legislatures without
a constitutional amendment. the Massa-
chusetts convention renews the recon-
mendati On that until such action can be
obtained. party candidates for senators
be non linated by popular vote. and
there an be no doubt that the popular
will of a party in the choice of candi-
date IAN be made most certainly eff
fectun by nomination in state cOnven-
ton. Such was the precedent set in the
cont est between Abraham Lincoln and
Ste phen a. Douglas in 1858. and by the
de nocrats of Illinois in the nomination
OF the senatorship of John NJ. Palmer.
whose final election in the close di-
vision of the legislature which followed
was brought about by the fact that he
had been nominated.
These presidents the republicans of
Illinois habitualiy reject. and the sena-
torship is awarded by a legislature that
has been packed through secret in
trisue and the distribution of patronage
in ;he interest of one candidate or an
other. The voters know nothing of the
reaI considerations by which the sen
atOr5hip is decided

had arrived at stage when It had
the size OF a present-day fox and pos
sessed only three digital members.
Relics OF some OF these have been
found in parts OF the west.
About five miles above Ritter in
Grant county, Ore, members OF the
University OF California expedition
were fortunate enough to unearth
some of the remains OF one of those
little horses long ago. In scientific
circles it is known as the mesohip-
pus acutidens.
While this animal had progressed
in size considerably beyond the fox
stage, il was much smaller than the
horse of today. 1t was equipped,
however, with three toes.
The skull OF this specimen was
about nine inches long and so well
preserved. that its identity was at
once established.
Remains of the three-toed horse
of the same period have also been
found in the Dakotas and along the
White river.
1t Will probably be a surprise to
many to learn that the rhlnoceros
once roamed America, or n part of 1t.
Fossils OF this animal which is
now found only in Africa and Asia,
have been discovered in England and
in eastern Siberia.
Excavations in the John Day
country however, have brought TO
light unmistakable specimens OF the
two-horned rhinoceros, so that the
animal at one time must have been
numbered among the types of living
things upon the American continent.
Most of these fossils discovered by
the expedition were found in the bed
of an old lake, indicating that they
were collected and deposited there
by some very ancient agency. Bones
of dogs cats and even monkeys were
also unearthed.
OF great interest to scientists are
these discoveries, not only because

known animal. but because existing
fossils of others have not been sut.
