More Salmon than Water.


A. for the salmon, as seen this morn,
ing urging their way up the swift,
braWling, current-tens Of thousands of
them, side by side, with their backs
out Of water in shallow places-nOthing
that could write may possibly give
anything like fair conception OF the
extravaganza of their numbers. There
is more salmon apparently bulk for
bulk. than water. In ferding the
stream the writhing multitudes, crowd
ing against one another, could not get
out If ones way. One Of our men
wadod out in the midst of them and
amused himself by Selling them above
the tail and swinging them over his
head. Thousands could thus be taken
by hand while they are making their
we over the shadows among the
stones. Whatever may be said Of 9TH
er resources of the territory, IT Is hard
ly possible to eXaggeratc the impor-
lance Of her fisheries. Not TO mention
cod, herring. halibut, etc, there are
probably not less than a thousand
salmon streams in Southeastern Alaska
rs large or larger than this one (about
forty feet wide) crowded with fine
salmon every year. The sum com
menced this year more than - month
ago, and the King Salmon, one Of the
five species recognized by the Indians,

the middle Of last November.

From the Capital.

Az interesting collection of photographs
is being made by direction of the adjutant
general. Mr.. Than, the chief clerk, has
been at work on it for several months.
He now has collection of 1868 good pic
lures of general officers during the war,
carefully and neatly arranged in large
album. Under each photograph is the
signature of the officer, if alive. The
photographs are obtained by writing for
them Many are in citizens dress, being
taken recently. The idea is to form a
collection of photographs of general Off
GERS commissioned by the president of the
United States (including brigade COM
manders not commissioned during the
period which, beginning early 1861, ter
minated in April, 1865, by the surrender
of all the forces of the late confederate
states. 1t is proposed to arrange the col
lection eventually for preservation in the
achives of the war department, in an al
bum which will exhibit the leaders of the
several brigades, divisions, army corps,
and armies of the United States in the
great contest for the integrity of the

THE report of the Board of Examina-
ton of the Naval Academy at Annapolis
has been made to the Secretary of the
Navy. 1t speaks in the highest terms of
the scholarship of the cadets, especially
in physics, mechanics, mathematics, and
modern languages. 1t recommends addi-
tional instruction in spelling and punctua-
ton. The board recommends some great
guns for instruction in their use, and de-
plores the want of models for ship-build-
ing. The board speak favorably of the
proficiency of the cadets in drill. They
recommend the construction of an addi-
tional wing to the new building, so that
the entire body of cadets may be accom-
modated under one roof; also, new build
ing for the marine guard, and a new
building at once for an armory and drill
room, to cost $4,000 1t also urges lib
eral appropriation for library. The
financial management and moral tone of
the academy are warmly commended

One of the great problems ofour day,
too little discussed by those who have
the ear of the public through the press
or at the forum, is to furnish the young
men Of this generation with remunera-
tive employment. The professions are
all over-crOwded. The shop-keepers
are by far too numerous. Agencies of
all kinds are so multiplied that the oc-
cupants tread on each others toes and
are bore and nuisance to the gener-
nj public. Clerks out of Unemployment and
willing to serve for a pittance are to be
reckOned by their tens of thousands.
Bookkeepers with hungry eyes are
reading the advertisement lists in the
vain hope of an opening for their APP
plications. Collectors, messengers, door
keepers, watchmen, conductors, and
the great variety of other experts seek
ing employment in kindred callings, are
anxiously waiting for some one to en-
gage them. Every possible form OF
service that can be reckOned i'll the
list Of genteel occupations is eagerly
sought after by the multitudes who
have no other provision for their daily
needs. The men who have been trying
to live by their wits must go to work
at the bench or in the field; of these
the soil offers the most accessible and
at first the most remuneratjve employ
ment. The mass of unemployed must
seek sustenance from the bosom of
mother earth.-Land is cheap, and
there is a wide area that awaits the

ship. She was altered over into a sail
ing vessel after the war, and has been
freighting wheat from San Francisco to
Europe. She is sold now because on a
recent voyage TO Boston she underwent
strains that practically finished her
sea'worthiness. The Battles record IS
said to be still good for having made
the quickest transatlantic trip entirely

interest of which amounted TO one hun
bred and fifty million dollars A great
MANY honest people believed we could
never pay that debt that it was beyond
our means, and a good many men, and
women, too, perhaps, although | think
the women were not very guilty of that,
began to think about epudiation-about
some way of cheating or getting rid 81 the
burden of the public debt. Things went
along pretty smoothly for a little while,
until finally the question as to the pay
ment of this debt came up. The demo-
cratic party had various projects about it,
but the republican party of the United
States made up its mind that it would
REPAY THAT DEBT TO TIE LAST DOLLAR
according to its terms and condi ions.
[Applause. The republican party de-
clared that this nation should be honest,
and although it might come hard, yet we
would pay the debt dollar for dollar pre-
cisely as we agreed to do it. Applause.
1t was said it was hard to pay it in gold.
So il was bat we agreed to pay it, and
that is reason enough for an honest man.
Applause The result of it was that our
credit became better and better; people
began to confide in our ability to pay. Our
bonds rose rapidly until in 1869 they APP
preached par in coin. Then it was that
the republican party passed a bill to
strengthen the public credit. That con
tanned two propositions: One was that
we should pay the debt according to It's
terms. and the other that we would bring
about the resumption Of specie payment as
soon as practical. [Applause.l No dem
ocrat had the honor OF voting for that bill.
Applause The mere fact Of that dec
laraiion advanced our public credit, so
that in about year or two from this time
il was found that our bonds were at par.
Then the proposition was made that we
should sell 1 per cent. or A. or 5 per cent.
bonds. and with the proceeds of these
bonds we should redeem the outstanding
Esr cent. bonds. Up to that time we had
