NATIONAL DEBTs-A CONTRAST.

NAllONAlJ DLDlO-A OlJN llIAOl.
From the n Y. Times.
England begins to doubt the divine wisdom
of permanent Indebtedness There if any
where the automatic saying, "a national debt
is a national blessing has been received
with unquestioning credulity But it is or
thodox no longer Even Chancellors of the
Exchequer deem it their duty to talk of debt
reduction as a desirable thing: and to point
compacently to what has already been done
in regard to it. And plain business men
whom reform measures have introduced into
Parliament actually complain that the work
does not move fast'enough, contrasting its
tedious slowness with the rapid progress of a
similar work in the United States
1t must be confessed that the contrast is
striking. For ten years successive English
Ministers have taken credit for diminishing
the debt, and the aggregate result the
other day communicated to the House of Com
mons by Mr.. Lowe. In the ten years from
March, 1898, to March, 1868, he declares that
the extent of the reduction has been mo less
sum than G37, So 900, say S31S3, $50,
gold-an average Of G3, 1872, 000 or SIS, ,3Oi,
39G year Mr. Lowe pronounces this ''pro-
gress in the right direction" and such it
undoubtedly is. But it is progression at
snail pace.
Look now at the United States. The maxi
mum of the debt, after the close of the war;
on the 3lst of August, 1860, stood at 81, 49,
GS9,571. On the 31st Of July, 1869, or one
month less than forr years, reduction had
been effected amounting to S2+9, 029, ,43S-an
average of S62, 251.3j per year, or consider
ably more than thrice the rate of reduction
achieved by England. And the process goes
on i'll a greatly increased ratio. Since the 4th
of March last, little more than five months,
the reduction has been $t3, sos, 523, or nearly
one-fourth of the total reduction effected by
England in ten years
The relative circumstances of the two coun-
tries at the periods to which these reductions
respectively refer, add in other respects to
the force OF the comparison. England COM
menced the work with many advantages on
its side. Prolonged peace had impaired
smoothness to the working of its finances.
Its fiscal system had been rendered more pro-
ductive and at the same time less burden
some There have undoubtedly been dis
turbing elements during the term to which
Mr.. loves statement refers, but the
average aspect of the time has not been un-
favorable. On the other hand, this country
had Just emerged from a gigantic and eX-
haustive war. Its choicest territory had been
rendered unprO uctive. Its industrial system
was disorganized. Its finances were chaotic
and unsatisfactory It's taxation was clumsy
and oppressive. Its business suffered all the
penalties of rashness and uncertainty, engen-
dered by an inflated and inconvertible cur
rency. The large reduction to which we point
has, therefore, been accomplished under no
ordinary difficulties Its rapidity and amount
justify not a little national exultation.

ALASKA.

From the Chicago Post.
The more the American people shall learn
about Alaska the more they will love it, They
already knew that the variety of that country,
the versatility of Alaskan talents, so to saw
was uncommonly fine. 1t is within the fresh
recollection of all our intelligent people with
what sensations of pleasure they heard of the
various remarkable facts in relation to this
remarkable country-how it produced not
onlygreat quantities of icebergs, and furs. and
cold snaps, the fuus being made on purpose
for the cold snaps, and the cold snaps on pur-
pose for the furs, but that the spring of the
wear and the summer were delightful in
Alaska, producing strawberries and cream,
sweet potatoes, filletS of beef with mushrooms
ready-made omelets and ten thousand other
delicacies, besides fuued seals in the greatest
abundance and the greatest variety. Every
body saw that the purchase of Alaska Robert
}. Walker and some other fellows inclusive)
was dirt cheap at 81, 200, 600, gold coin; that
we had chiseled not to say cornered, the Gar
of all the Russias in the handsomest manner.
We are very much afraid ''old Pap Thomas
is going to ruin all this fine Alaskan picture
The latest batch of intelligence thence indi-
Gates no less General Thomas does not think
the large military force in Alaska is of much
account. He says it produces little or no
result except chronic rheumatism, which
spolls, III single year, two-thlrds OF the
troops unfortunate enough to be stationed IN
that land of togs and chills. This will never
do Old Pap Thomas must be recalled from
, the Pacific slope. Failingin that, the Govern
ment must send the Arkansas Hot Springs
right off to Alaska Alaska producing, after
all, nothing but chronic rheumatism We
lear there has been some lying done on this
subject by somebody or other,

THE MOTHERsCOUNTRY AND CANADA.
From the Chicago Republican,
We observe that the Canadian loan bill has
passed through the English Parliament, but
that it turns out the entire amount is a guar
antee upon the paltry sum of e3OO, 900; and
that the assent of the home Government to
stand surety for this trihing sum was given
grudgingly Mr. Dixie, who took great inte-
rest in the measure, tried to obtain from the
| Government an expression of policy favor
able to such guarantees in the future, but he
! could not do it. The Canadian press are at

as fuel also; but does anybody suppose that
an increase in the supply of those substances
would affect the coal market Nova Scotia
coal is nothing more nor less than a raw
material for the manufacture Of gas The gas
companies are the chief consumers of it, and
they and the Nova Scotia miners and a few
iron makers in New England are the only
ones who would profit by the remission Of the
duty.
OF course, the miners and dealers in Nova
Scotia coal insist that their coal is the best in
the world for every purpose TO which coal can
be applied. In relutation of their assertions,
it is only necessary TO remark that the late
Sir Edward Cunard although agent for several
Nova Scotia coal mines, would never furnish
the steamers of the Cunard line with
them. buying American coal from the
Cumberland region in preference. Cumber-
land coal. too, is at this moment sent all the
way from Maryland to Montreal, because it
can be used for generating steam to so much
better advantage than that from Nova
Scotia. As to domestic consumption, no
housekeeper who has once burned a bushel
of Nova Scotia coal ever wants to burn
another What is conclusive evidence on
this point is the fact that, in spite of the
scarcity coal from Nova Scotia still sells here
for only S7'25 per ton, while anthracite
brings SS'75.
The truth is that Pennsylvania has a natural
monopoly of anthracite, and her miners and
railroad managers are profting by it. We
see no way of thwarting them but by refusing
to buy of them at the exorbitant prices they
are now getting; but so long as we limit our
selves to the threat to let in Nova Scotia coal
duty free, they will only laugh at us.

MAJOR BRUCE, the veteran editor OF
the Montana Democrat, did Us the honor of
a call yesterday and agitated our social ma
ture. The Major is, we presume, feeling the
public pulse and looking over the political
ground in view of coming events As the
Local may conclude 20 enter the race against
the Major during the summer campaign, he
does not desire to expose either his gait or
strong points, hence win leave the discussion
of political questions to n more fitting time,
and simply say that the visit was very agree
able to US and very pleasant TO the distin-
guished visitor.
LINCOLN GULcH.-During the past
winter great deal of work has been done at
the lower end of Lincoln Gulch. Drains have
been run and much dirt has been got out and
washed. From present indications there Will
be few mining camps Of the Eame size rs Lin
coin that will yield as abundantly. The az
tent of pay ground . not large, but it is very
rich.
PERsoNAL--We had the pleasure of
a call from ]. d. Huntoon, of Cable City,
who gives many interesting facts in regard
TO White Pine and the lower Territories.
After listening 10 the statements of Mr.. HUn-
toOn we must confess that the White Pine

adopted:
Whereas, We the working men of Mem
phis having witnessed the convocaLions Of
capitalists in the city, and throughout the

that they "are the vilest people on the
earth"

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-The Washington

in comparing notes Of their interviews

his stoiy of alleged wrongs on the Stokes

especially Stokes. Col Brownlow and

the President and were also greeted in
the same way, and received the same

each boosted of the support
of the administration. But finally
clash came, and it was discoVs

thing could not be done that, indeed, it
could not go on, and; that Grant must

other of incorporating Grants con-

but it won't stand so long, for affairs are

that he will throw Boutwell, and Creswell
