them with the ancients of the eastern hemisphere. The water sign of the Cascas Grandians and those of the new found race is the same as that used by the Chinese. The winged ser pent of the Cascas Canadians is like the same symbol of the north and south tribes. The remains of temples or the Cascas Grandians show sun worship, and the tribe just discovered evidently worshiped in the same way.
 With the exception of the lone guide up to two months ago no man of civilization had ever set foot on the ruins Proof of this is furnished in the fact that the ruins stand today without the sign of molestation of the hand of man, white or red. The doors or the houses stand sealed as they were left when their occupants de parted never to return. On the still mountain, almost inaccessible to man or beast, the ancient village stands, the doors blocked with stones that nave never been rolled away by curi- ous hands, ruins of the ancient ladders lying still close to the cliff of the precipttous height, disturbed in no way but by the clements.

months ago the deserted city was To- cated by an Indian guide, and the fact
 was reported to Prof Blackiston who l is conducting government expert I ment station in the Rio Grande valley and who immediately investigated, with the most surprising results.
 The village was found situated on a precipitous cliff, in part surrounded by large natural cave, 1,500 feet above deep valley below. Here were discov- cred the ruins of hundreds of adobe houses, all but few in a good state of preservation The quality of pot tery found in these houses is superior to that made by the Toltecs and the Aztecs.
 ''The Casas Grandes Indians and the tribes just discovered occupy a pc culiar position in the relations of an cient tribes of the western hemfs- phere," said MT Blackiston "Addi- tional facts just obtained show that these tribes formed a connecting link between the tribes of the north and tllb oOutl nt May dS, 1OIleCS ana Aztecs form the southern group and the Pueblos and Mound Builders the northern. The Casas Canadians formed an intermediate group Their ruins and culture symbols show in fuences common to both of the groups named"
 Prof Blackiston says that the idols of the new found group resemble those of the Indians of the south. Symbols on the pottery made by them are also similar
 On the other hand, their buildings are like those of the Pueblos. The sun sign used was the same as that used by both the Aztecs and the Mound Builders. This is also the sun sign used by the ancient Egyptians, which in this respect tends to connect

HAS LINCOLN FARM IN IOWA.
German Farmer Owns Property Once
 Held by Great American.

Webster City, Ia.-It has recently developed that Abraham Lincoln for brief time called Iowa his home. having entered tract of homestead land in what is now Crawford county
 Judge Church of Jefferson, in his reading, learned that owing to serv- ices in the Black Hawk war, Abraham Lincoln became entitled to land scrip, good for entry upon a tract in town ship S4. range 39, Iowa. This is in Crawford county, and Judge Church addressed letter to Clerk Of the Courts Faul, asking for further infor- nation. He had the following letter in reply:

The President and Labor.

Now that defeat amounting to rout
has overtaken the movement of a sec
ton Of organized labor against Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft, and the Re
publican party, the President promptly
comes forward with demonstration that
he has no thought of furnishing labor
for the mistake of some of its leaders.
He Is just as much the friend of labor
as he ever was; Just as willing as ever
to fight for what he considers the rea-
sonable and just demands of labor, or
gained or morganized.
That there may be opportunity for
perfect understanding and free exchange
of ideas about what labor should secure,
the President has arranged a unique din
ner party to be held at the White House
in few days. There viii be present a
group of officials of the Administra-
ton, number of judges, and several
OF the most prominent leaders in the
national labor movement. This latter
group viii include men who as officers
of the American Federation of Labor
were concerned in the recent political
incursion of labor, but who were least
offensive in their participation in that
movement.
The series of demands which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has presented to Con-
gress in the way Of labor legislation
represent a vast advance in the gov
ernmental attitude toward these prob
lens. The President has declared for
a reasonable anti injunction act, for ex-
emption of labor from the antitrust
law, and application Of the principle
of Government liability to Government
employees, with recognition of the
theory of insurance of such employees,
including those in interstate transpor-
tation. tt seems strange that after Sc
curing from the Executive such a
magma charta, there should have been
doubt in the minds of any labor or
canizers as TO the duty to stapd by
the man who was willing to go so far
for their cause.
Tt is Characteristic of the President
that, having won in his test of political
strength with the disaffected labor
leaders, he is now going about the bust
ness of carrying forward his program.
He wants a thorough understanding,
agreement IN basic principles, and then
work for that on which the friends of
labor can agree, The gathering of pub
Tic officials, jurists, and labor chiefs
at the White House viii be a guaran-
tee of the Administrations determine
tion to go ahead with this work. It
will be notice to those public men who
might contemplate punitive measures
that these will not be Endorsed at the

To the plans of the Park Commission
OF these, only the two last named
are likely to obtain serious eonsidera-
tion from Congress. The Speaker is
known to favor the plan of q park
which shall give the visitor an unin-
terrupted view of the Capitol as he
leaves his train and TO have a desire
that the appropriation TO purchase the
ground snail be ordered and approved
on the anniversary of Lincoln's birth
The Park Commission made its plan
an integer in a general scheme OF me-
Washington at the axis of the
Mall, Lincoln at one end, Grant at the
other. The Cannon project is not only
not a feature of the Park Commission
plans, but is radically foreign to them.
Whichever Of these plans is adopted,
it is TO be hoped the selection can be
accomplished without overzeal on the
part of the proponents of any other
design. A memorial to this great Amer
lean would lose significance if it be
came the subject of pickering. The
choice ought to be made with view
solely to doing him the greatest honor.
It ought TO he made in the privacy of
the committee rooms. Except in the
event of an utter failure to appreciate
the dignity Of the project (which is not
now to be anticipated it should be
accepted without open question.
Every man who has thought on this
enterprise hopes that it may result in
proper testimony to the great heart
and far-seeing wisdom of the Liberator.
If we are not watchful, it may result
in a squabble which his bigness will
only make the more contemplate.

10 Darkest Africa.

Naturally interest in the Presidents
trip is widespread. And so in time, no
doubt, commentators will stop talking
about Darkest Africa at least in
correction with the route over which
the President Will travel.
The journey from Mombassa, which
is situated a little more than halfway
down the east coast of Africa, where
British East Africa forms a little
wedge between the Indian ocean and
German East Africa, north to Cairo
will begin with a trip of nearly 600
miles on the railroad that runs from
the coast to the mediterranean of Lake
Victoria Nyanza. This road viii even
tuaily be one of the branches of the
famous Cape to Cairo line.
The President is to have the use of
special saloon coach, with kitchen at
tached, in addition to "a saloon carriage
(alias coach OF earl with leather seats,
which are transformed into sleeping
berths at night" The details show
that the combination train Is TO be
supplied with all the comforts of home
and that fresh fruit or vegetables or
ice can be got at every station along
the line
Not much Darkest Africa" about
that. There is no end of sport, never
theless. The railroad officials often
complain that hyenas, iackals, ostriches,
the giraffe, and the rhinoceros run
along the track. If the President cares
for trophies. he can have his fill.
Things viii be darkest" when the
President and his party leave the lake
district and strike north for Khar-
toum. They will have no railroad to
ease the way, but perhaps they will
not miss it. Grogan and Sharp, who
made the trip over the Cape TO Cairo
route in 1899, speak of the wild hos
pitality" they received at the hands of
English friends they met in Central
Africa. We imagine that the Presi-
dent will not only have. but bestow
similar experience wherever he goes.
