 Any election law is absurd which seeks to compel the concealment Of the principles for which party stands until after the power to de- termine what each party stands for, not upon "the people" who are sup posed to "rule" but with the chaps who happen to be nominated and who. for the most part, do not dare to peep while they are running for the nomination.
 We assume that the author of the law would not concede that it is fun damentally absurd, but does acknowl- edge that by inadvertence-which is entirely eXcusable in drafting a meas use so intricate and queer-it has re- quired such candidates as may re- ceive the nomination of more than one party to be in two or more places at the same time, which cannot be done
 If, for example, the convention of Republican nominees should declare that the party stands for resolute re- sistance to Federal encroachment on the constitutional powers of the States, and the Progressives for the virtual suppression of the most inn portant powers of the States, it would of course, not be physically impos- sible for candidate to sign up for both propositions, but
 It will be funny, anyhow.

Found in q Glacier.

Sir Martin Conway has recently told this story of finding a lost ax in the Alps: Zurbiggen, one of the cele. brated mountain climbers of the world, in scaling a peak of Les An glaises, near Chamounix. accidentally let his ax fall near the summit of the peak. It fell some thousands of feet. In the normal course of things it was buried in snow and swallowed up in the glacier being covered deeper and deeper each year, and at the same time being carried slowly downward as the ice flowed on. Seven or eight years afterward Hon. c. c. Bruce and Harkbir, a Sepoy chief, in descending a peak of the Alps just as night was falling, and great crevasse barred the way, being unable to find the bridge over it, cut path down to to bottom, where Harkbir stepped on an aX which had M z. Zurbiggen's ini- tials on the handle. There could be no mistake as to the identity of the ax, as Harkbir had seen it and used 1t before.

to have Jurisdiction to search out all
property omitted from assessment and
put II on the tax rolls. This will render
unnecessary county tax ferrets who
now as a rule receive a commission of
15 per cent on all omitted taxes. The

For the orchestra, naturally the
