Alaska,s Wealth.

The wisdom of VIM. II. Seward in
pushing to a successful issue the plan
of purchasing the Russian possessions
in America, which was flouted at in
Stewards day, becomes more and more
apparent as the years roll by. The
purchase money, including all the cost
of negotiation, has been more than re-
covered in the valuable seal fisheries,
while the mineral wealth OF the great
territory has begun to be developed.
More than all else, however, are the
salmon fisheries in all the streams
along Thousand miles Of coast. The
streams there are crowded with salmon
of superior quality, more plentiful
than they were in the Columbia in its
best fishing days. II is said that not
less than million dollars viii be ex-
pended during the ensuing summer in
establishing fisheries along many Of
the Alaska streams, when it is believ-
ed an industry will begin that is bound
to rival the fisheries OF the east, over
which Uncle Sam and John Bull have
30 long wrangled. The supply is
positively beyond all all computation
IAN agreeable condition of affairs, by
the way when it is remembered that
the supply Of the Columbia river Is
slowly being exhausted. Cod fisheries
have also been discovered along the
banks with which the many Alaska
islands are surrounded. The timber
resources of the territory have not yei
been explored. Certain it is that even
Seward builded wiser than he knew

CURED in one of the best known hat
establishments in this city. Enter a
well known man about town, who hands
his hat to an attendant to be ironed.
While standing bare-headed at the
counter in comes Bishop Potter. The
latter, mistaking the club man for one
of the shop-walkers, gives him his hat
with the inquiry: ''Have you a hat
like this?" The club man in the cool
est possible manner takes the hat,
turns it over, examines it closely. looks
at it inside and out, then in slow and
measured tones he remarks: ''No, i
have not;" and he adds, reAectively:

period of war the taxes must be in
creased. thus entailing greater burdens
upon the working people. Thousands
of persons who in ordinary times are
tax-producers are then made tax-eat-
ers, because they are withdrawn from
the productive industries of the coun-
try, and merely consume that which is
raised or manufactured.
In the proudest days of the Roman
Empire, even in the Golden Age o
Marcus Aurelius, the maintenance Of
sixty legions or barely 100000 men,
scattered throughout Europe, Asia and
Africa, was considered an enormous
burden on the people, and one which
they could ill bear. Now Europe alone
has on foot the colossal number OF H.
OOO, 900 of men in its standing armies
during time of profound peace.
The Roman legions were constantly
fighting with the German, or the
Scythian barbarians, or the Parthians
in the East Yet it was never pro-
posed when there was an apparent ces-
sation of hostilities that the army
should be increased. 1t is left TO our
modern governments to be constantly
increasing their ornaments when all
are making assurances of continued
peace.
But the longest-sighted statesmen de-
clare that it is impossible to ha adding
annually thousands and thousands OF
soldiers to the standing armies without
ultimately eliminating in a volcanic
burst OF war which will not only shake
all Europe but all Christendom. The
destructive forces which are already
marshaled and drilled to strike at a
moments notice naturally alarm think
ing men, because it seems like scatter
ing gun-powder or dynamite in every
room of ones house. These destructives
may not be exploded ut once, but sooner
or later the crash of demolition must
ensue. That is the way in which really
great statesmen look at these formida.
BILE ornaments.
Germany is essentially a military ma
ton and her increased ornaments have
caused such scare throughout all Eu-
rope that other nations say they mus
arm in self defense. When another
war occurs the severest test will be ap-
piled to the military system.
The Germans have been considered
invincible for the past twenty years
because in their last conflict will
France they had right manifestly OF
their side. But the folly and the AFRO
gance which the French exhibited jus
previous to the war of 1870 may breal
out in Germany, for there is no telling
what fools nations may become at Ger
tain periods of their history. Milwau

Advertising Doctors.

Gradually the barriers for physicians
who want TO set forth their especial
abilities as healers in the advertising
columns Of a newspaper are being
broken down in St. Louis. No longer
ago than in january last a spirited
fight took place in the medical society
Of that city over the election Of q
president. One OF the candidates for
the place was from number Of radi-
cal men who were conducting the St.
Louis Weekly Medical Review in whose
columns they had been announcing in
the most inviting terms possible their
respective merits as throat, lung. nose,
eye and ear specialists. The conserya-
tive, straight laced, ethical doctors Of
tho city opposed these advertisers and
beat them, whereupon the latter with.
drew from the society and organized q
new one calling it by the same name.
or course the two factions are not al
all complimentary 10 each other in
their discussions OF the situation. Fig
