FRIDAY, JULY 21. 1899.

MR. HANNA is doubtless concocting some scheme to ruin Europe.

THE Brooklyn Standard Union speaks of the Alger-Pingree alliance as an A. P. A. aflain

MUCH gold is coming in on the return tide from the Klondike, but theie are also coming back many pine boxes that contain dust of only sentimental value.

IT will not take the untutored Filipino many moons to discover that the American dollar is for some reason or other worth twice as much as the Spanish dollar which he has been using.

AMERICAN ship yards are so crowded with contracts for merchant vessels that government work is delayed. The arrest of the decline in our foreign carrying trade will be a pleasant fact to chronicle.

THOUGH she is being "held up" by British and German debt collectors in the shape of warships, news comes from Gautemala that "peace and perfect tranquility prevail all over the country." It is an old and true saying that the beggar laughs in the face of the robber.

LIGHTNING caused the death of 367 persons in the United StatoB last year, and a loss in property of SI,441,880. Few of the deaths occurred in cities. The annual number of thunder storms in this country is from thirty-five to forty-five. The maximum is in the southeastern states.

Co 'PER has risen and aluminum declined until the price of the two metals is almost the same. One pound of aluminum is equivalent to two of copper in carrying electrical energy, and, if it were as easy to work and solder, would probably displace copper to a considerable extent.

THE bicycle trust has been punctured and many of the big wind-com-bines are leaking at the valve. In other words, the rope that was to be used in binding the arms of independent enterprise has been played out to such extreme length that it is breaking at many points under its own weight.

BOSTON has a city forester and 30,000 street trees are under his care. There iB a law against any form of meddling with trees in the streets and parkB, and even the forester is not allowed to trim or remove them without a permit from the board of aldermen. Two thousand trees are planted in Boston annually, and the department gives trees to citizens who will properly plant and protect them.

AI.TGELD evidently fails of his ancient cunning and has lost his old time confidence. He talks of the silver faction abolishing the twe-thirds vote in the Democratic convention because he fears silver may not control more than a majority vote. Now Goebel went into the Kentucky convention with only a third of the delegates and ran the whole performance from start to finish, choosing himself the candidate.

EX-SENATOR GORMAN, of Maryland, escaped a newspaper interview by stating that he had left politics behind him when he started north on his summer visit. But he did not tell the whole truth. Gorman lost all grip on politics when he and the rest of the obstructionists were holding up the army reorganization bill last winter in the senate and trying to tie the President's hands in his dealings with the plain duties which lay before him. Even Bryan the erratic was less foolish than this.

PRESIDENT MCKINLET is much interested in the daily reports received at the war department from the recruiting officers and greatly pleased at the promptness with which men are enlisting—the average is nearly 400 a day—for the hard service known to be before them in the Philippines, although he is not (surprised. He has an abiding faith that the patriotism of Americans is strong enough to promptly meet every call that it may become necessary to make upon it. It is now certain that the ten new regiments of volunteers will be recruited in time to be sent to General OtiB as soon as he can use them, which will not be until after the rainy season is over in the Philippines.

DIRECTOR |ROBERTS, of the United States mint, has just returned from a trip through the middle west. He said of what he observed: "Money is plentiful and the west Beems to have all of its share. In fact, there is so much money that Nebraska banks, for instance, are competing for commercial paper in Chicago, with interest at a low rate. I do not think this has ever occurred before. Heretofore, the western banks have never had too much money, and have had to borrow from Chicago and the east. Money is now going from the west to the east, and this renders the money market in the east easy. Therefore, American money is going to Europe, where interest is higher. There is not much talk of politics in the west. The general understating is that President McKinley and Mr. Bryan will be re-nominat-ed. Mr. McKinley will carry more western states than he did three years ago, and will obtain a much larger majority in Iowa than before. Many Democrats who voted for Bryan told me that they were satisfied with the situation, and would vote for the reelection of McKinley."

THERE was really nothing significant in the fact that during three days, when Secretary Alger and Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn were away from Washington, General Miles was acting secretary of war. By a statute of the United States the commanding general of the army is directed to act as secretary of war during the absence of the secretary and the assistant secretary. This happened to be the first time that both of these officials had been absent at the same time before the war with Spain. The fact that both of those officials should have been absent at once does indicate, however, that the relations between General Miles and the war department have Bomewhat improved. It is very certain that there was quite an extended period during which General Miles would not have been given an opportunity to act as secretary of war, under that law.

ADMIRAL DEWEY has written that he will arrive in New York harbor not later than Oct. 1, and that he may possibly get there a little earlier. He will receive such a welcome and ovation as was never given to any American, and the best part of it is that he deserves all the honor that will be given him. There are other heroeB of the war with Spain, all of whom are honored by an appreciative and patriotic people, but no man ever did so much in a single day to raise his country in the estimation of the whole world as George Dewey did on the memorable May day, in Manila harfcor. Dewey is not only an American hero, but he is a world-hero, whose name will be known and honored as loDg as brave deeds give men places in the niches of the temple of fame, and are recorded in song and story.

DEMOCRATIC papers make weary faces over Aguinaldo's sympathetic references to the party. It is cruel to reject his grateful acknowledgments after doing so much to earn them.

NEARLY fifty naval vessels are under construction in American dock yards, including a number for foreign powers.

Dan VoorHeeN' Son.

A Washington special sayB: "James Paxton Voorhees, well known in Indiana, has signed with Kieth's vaudeville circuit for the coming season and will make his first appearance of the season at Kieth's theater, in Philadelphia, soon. He gave a performance there Wednesday night, rendering impersonations of various public men and launching a few jokes, which were well received and pleased his employ--er. He will go to New York, Boston and Providence, playing a week at each place. James Paxton Voorhees has had a varied career as novelist, newspaper writer, artist and actor. His greatest success has been made as an artist, having made a number of busts of famous people, some of which are exhibited in the capitol."

iJoard of Review AtljournN. The county board of review adjourned Tuesday. Its session took practically nothing from the tax duplicate and added to it practically the same. Before adjourning the board resolved that the assessment on the business portion of Crawfordsville should stand as made and that there should be a cut of five per cent, on improvements in the city of Crawfordsville.

Senator Beveridge in Manila. Indianapolis Journal: John C. Wingate, state tax commissioner, yesterday received a letter from Senator Beveridge, which waB written at Manila on June 2d. Senator Beveridge said he expected to leave on the following day for China. He wrote Mr. Wingate that he had traveled about two thousand miles in the archipelago.

The Hall Will Be Rebuilt.

The Knights of Pythias of Thorntown have completed arrangements for rebuilding Castle Hall on the site of the beautiful structure destroyed by fire last spring. The contract has been awarded and before the close of the year not less than 835,000 will have been expended on the new building.

ALASKA GOLDFIELDS

Millions of Dollars Brought to San Francisco and Vancouver.

MINERS ARE INDIGNANT

At tho Treatment They Received From Transportation Companies They Declare tho Cape Nome District Was "Salted" Two Thousand Men I11 JJJDaAvson Idle—The ltoyukuk District]

San Francisco, July 19.—The steamer Portland has arrived here, 14 days from St. Michael, with 150 passengers and $1,000,000 in golcl on board. The most of tho returned people are without means and about §500,000 of the gold owned by a few lucky people, the balance being the property of the Alaska Commercial company.

The miners speak indignantly of the treatment acoorded prospectors who went to the Cape Nome district at tho solicitation of the transportation companies. The Portlaud passengers say unqualifiedly that the district has been "salted" in the interests of the companies and that groat suffering prevails in the district—food, fuel and clothing being scarce. Reports of a similar nature come from passengers who went as far north as Rampart City. A few rich pockets have been struck here and there, but no very important "finds" havG been reported.

R. F. Edgar, one of the passengers on the Portland, takes a very gloomy view of the state of affairs in Dawson. "There is nothing doing there," he said. "It is frightfully dull. The place is so overrun with unemployed men that there are at least 10 men for every job. No, there is no suffering. There seems to be food for all, but there area great many men who are without money and who will undoubtedly suffer. I have no doubt that the government will have to step in and take care of these men. There are hundreds anxious to leave Dawson and would leave if they had the means, but they have not, and there is an end of it." "How many have left within the last month?" "Fully 2,000. A great many have worked their way out and others are now

011

tho road south. A great many

worked their way down on the Portland. No, there have been no new strikes. There are certainly men up there who have made good tilings, and they are pleased, but the majority are heartsick of the Klondike country."

KOYUIil'K DISTRICT.

Plenty of Colors, but No Pay Streaks Could lie Kouiul, Seattle, Wash., July 19.—II. S. Sherman and F. F. Stoddard, who were members of a party of Ki, organized at Syracuse, N. Y., returned from Alaska on the Roanoke last night. They spent the winter in Koyukuk district.

Mr. Sherman, in speaking of the country, said that colors could be found almost anywhere, but there was no pay streak that they could find. No nugguts could be found of the size of a pinhead. There was a great amount of prospecting done in every district by the 1,000 men who spent the winter on that river.

As soon as the season opened the disappointed miners began to scatter and most of them headed for the outside. Provisions and supplies being offered for sale on all sides, became almost worthless. Flour was sold as low as per 101) pounds around Bergman and as to clothing and other' supplies the miners could scarcely give ilietn away. They traded them to I he Indians and the few miners who c-included to stay, for anything they could gel.,,

Brought Down $ ,(00,0()) in Gold. Vancouver, July 1!).—The steamer Garonne arrived last night from Sr. Michael, Alaska, with 550 passengers and about §1,000,000 in gold dust. Between $750,000 and $1,000,0:x belong to the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The largest individual amount is that of T. S. Lippy of Seattle, Wash., who is credited with bringing about ':!i)(),000 from his claim

IT 18 RIGHT

For an Editor to Recommend Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C.: It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in oar family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Nye & Booe, druggists.

POPE MANUFACTURING Co., Hartford, Conn. GenHemen:—I take pride in writing a few lines in praise of such a peerless piece of workmanship as the Columbia Bevel Gear Wheel. On Saturday I completed 5,000 miles on my Columbia Chainless No 1179, with every bearing and gear in as good condition as when first received on Dec. 12, 1897, not an adjustment having been made to bearings or gears, which run as easily, smoothly and silently as when new.
