News from Alaska states that
the Hy.ik Indian chief who shot
Harry Mors, mate of the Francis
Cutting, has committed suicide in
the Juneau jail.
The talk of a new state, to be
formed from portions of Wisconsin
t Minnesota and Michigan, will pro
bably end in talk. It isn't such an
easy matter tu divide states or
form new ones ovt of old states.
A labge nunjlier of people will

Simmeb made a sudden advent
upon us this week, with but very
little premonitory signs of its ap
proach. A little visit in advance,
like this, is not displeasing, but
the country would prefer a month
of spring rains yet
Iue railroad commissioners,

iun understand!) that the Divelbiss
Quartz Mining company, which
erected the mill at Salmon, has
commenced action against the dis
covers of the rich mine for $18,000
damages, for not carrying out their

mill from runn-ug.
Mukdeb is not confined to aoy
particular place. The recent horri
ble murder in Ban Francisco of the
two girls, was ommitted in a
church. Who would tbink of asso
ciating the church with deeds of
blood? Of all places in the world
the church, in all its purity, is
calculated to drive the thought of
murder from the heart of man.
The 16-year-old son of Mr,
Keeney, residing three miles above
Holly, on the Cabpooia, a few
days ago ran upon an old cougar
and three yearling cubs. The boy
only had a 22-caliber rifle; but he
faced the music, and before he was
through with the cougars every
one "bit the dust." Four in one
day is a good record, and the bjr
has the scalps to testify to his
powers. ; -
Rev. J. C. Bead, the preacher

commits a crime all he has to do
is to play the insane act, and lo
and behold, a jury of his peers,
peri'aps as crazy as he, will believe
the evidence introduced to prove
insanity and sentence him to the
asylum instead of to the peniteo-
tiry. Were a single level headed
judge to trp the case nine times out
of ten the insanity dodge, would
fail. Ex.
One of the oldest pioneers in the
state, if not the very oldest, is Mr.
Taylor, of Sauvits' island, who
came, up the Columbia in 1836.
He is about 80 years of age, and
has never appeared in the process

rea on is thut they have no flag
dated far enough back for him,
The society might get an 1836 flag,

ARNOLD MUST WEAKEN.
IBs animated discussion going
on between the Democratic State
Central Committee and Surveyor-
General Arnold is awakening great
interest on the Pacific slope. Mr,
Arnold was appointed by the pres
ident at the urgent solicitation of
the democrats of this state. He
now refuses to recognise his party
and indignantly rejects its reason
able demands, claiming his right
to retain whomsoever he wishes in
the best paring positions of his
department. Mr. Arnold has been
writing several letters to the com
mittee, and intimates that the
victors have been generously re
warded by hiB (Arnold's) appoint
ment This is unique. Probably
Mr. Arnold has been sufficiently
rewarded and, if he can show that
he is the party, then his claim,
that the party has been sufficiently
i e warded, will be proven. Until
M. Arnold proves himself the
party, the democrat) can claim but
Blipht recognition in Arnold's ap
pointment, for Arnold is evidently
nodemocrat,but a rank mugwaump.
His action is a reflection on his
own qualifications, for he admits
that the presence of this object
imal republican is essential to the
welfare of his office; and he insults
the democrats of the state by thus
insinuating that no deim crat can
be found capable of filling this
position. The presence of this
republican may materially lessen
r. Arnold's labors, but it in no
way ligntens the labors of bis
parly, but places upon it a greater
burden. Ingratitude is an unpar
donable sin, politically, and is al
ways a mean disposition in any
man. Mr. Arnold is certainly un
grateful. He is a very small factor
in the politics of his state, and he
should not seek to appropriate all
of the Iruits of his party's victory
to accomplish which he contri
butes but little, if any. It is a
settled political dogma, that "to
the , victor belongs . the . spoils."
This is not a suitable doctrine to
preach in Sunday School, where
we are told to love our enemies,
but politics h a horse of another
color, where, of necessity, friends
are alone rewarded, and enemies
should not expect it Mr. Arnold
should accede to the very reason
able demand of his arty or he
should resign.
C. P. Huntington had to submit
to the formality of an arrest. His
legion of enemies may take a little
comfort in that fact, though they
need not allow their exultation to
go to the extent of supposing the
law will do him any material
harm.
We noticed in one of the Albany
papers a tew days ago that the
sheriff would soon publish the
delinquent tax list for 1894. Be
fore Sheriff McFeron does this we
think he should get figures on the
publication of this list from all the
papers of the county and give it to
the one that would do it the cheap
est The price that was charged
two year ago ws by far too large
and we are satisfied that by letting
it out by bids it can he done for at
least one-half the price of two years
ago. We think the sheriff owes
this to bis constituents, and es
pecially to the unfortunate who
are on the delinquent list.

j MIUTARY STORES IN PARIS.
n Froth Capital inula Mot Agals IK
starved luto Capitulation,
' Should the fortunes of war ever
again expoeo the city ot Paris to the
hardship of a siege the heaioger would
find the reduction of the French capi
tal to be a far mora dlGcult undertak
ing than did the German armies in the
winter of 1870-71. It may, according
to the Philadelphia Kecord, be doubted
whether the city could ever again be
compelled to capitulate. The fall of
Paris, as 1b well known, was not ac
complished by the Herman siege bat
teries, but the city was Btorved into
submission. A recurrence of ouch an
emergency ts supposed to have been
made practically impossible by the de
velopment of the art ot preserving and
compressing a great variety of nutri
tious foods into the smallest possible
space. Thus, for example, forty thou
sand rations of preserved vegetables
can be placed hi a cubic space measur
ing only forty indie each way, and
millions of the rations, together with
solid soups and preserved meats, are
constantly kept ready for the eventual
necessity of the military provisioning
of Paris. An enormous stock of Hour
and biscuits k always maintained by
the war department, whilo the intro
duction of compressed fodder and the
silo system have facilitated the storage
of sufficient food for the horses required
by the cavalry as well as by the omni
bus and street railway companies. One
of the gravest causes of distress during
the last siege of Paris was the scarcity
and poor quality of milk. Such quan
tities of this indispensable article bb
could then be procured were worth
their weight in gold, and the mortality
among infants resulting from their de
privation of thiB necessary food reached
a frightful rate. In the next siego,
however, milk will not only be plenti
ful, but very good, thanks to Dr. Aute
fage's process of "pasteurizing" milk,
which has been adopted by the French
government, and by which milk can he
preserved almost indefinitely absolute
ly pure and unaltered.
Twenty years ago the art of preserv
ing meat by means of cold storage was
in its infancy, but the French govern
ment has fully availed itself of every
improvement thut has been made in
this direction, and at the flint sign of
impending danger the authorities would
be prepared to store hundreds of thou
sands of carcasses of beeves and mut
ton. The military marazine? are al
ways kept filled, but ut the approach
of war the numerous warehouses and
buildings which have been indicated
for the purpose and prepared for the
storage of provisions would be Imme
diately brought into requisition, lly
means of the Fixnry process dressed
beef and other meats can he kept
sweet and fresh for many months, and
by new chemical methods the stor
age rooms can be kept cool without the
use of iee. In its ea-eful preparation
for the dire emergency of hostile ov
tack the Trench government seems to
have overlooked nothing; even coal,
wood, petroleum, chemicals anda thou
sand other things have been provided
in ample quantities. It seems almost
impossible to believe that any future
siege of Paris could be prolonged until
the war department should have ex
hausted its fabulous accumulations of
provisions, which arc constantly main
tained at their proper level by renewals
of stock as fust as they are used up.
"The best laid plans o' mice and men,"
however, "gang aft aglee."
WAR BETWEtN MOTIVE POWERS.
Cooaaetlent to Wltnest a Contest ifcttwMn
Etaetriclty mill eieam.
, Connecticut is destined to be the first
state in which the buttle between
steam and electricity will bo thorough
ly tested, says the litica Observer, i'or
many years the railroad business of
that state has bceu controlled by whut
is known as the Consolidated road.
Lefrislation in the past has been very
favorable to this corporation, and it has
been impossible to build rival lines of
steam railroad without the consent of
the Consolidated nnd of course this
consent was not to be secured. When
trolley cars came into existence shrewd
observers saw in them a possible means
of finally accomplishing the downfall
of the Consolidated, andosiheiraprove
mcnts in the means of using and apply?
ing electricity as a motive power were
rapidly perfected the hopes of trolley
line projectors grew. The result has
been the securing of a large number of
franchises for trolley lines, and ulready
the most important towns along
seventy-five miles of the Consolidated
are united by lines of double track
electric railways that permit of contin
pauous ssnge. Jinny other franchises
have been granted and appearances in
dicate that through service may soon
be secured between New York city and
Hartford.
It is an interesting battle, because it
brings into competition two greirt
forces, steam and electricity, which are
donbtlcss destined to compete against
each other In the future. It is also in
teresting to note thut in all eases where
the steam and trolley roads parallel
each other in the Connecticut example,
the trolley roads have proved to be the
most popular. This is doubtless in a
measure due to the fact tluit considera
ble local prejudice has existed ajfuinst
the monopoly controlling the steam
roads, and wherever an opportunity
presented itself to turn b isiness over to
the trolleys it was done.
