In the history of gold mining in the
States and Territories DO obstacle was
so stubborn that it was not finally
overcome. This, too will be the his
tory Of the gold fields of Western
Alaska. Army officers who have
served in the Territory at various times
are now endeavoring to induce Con-
gress to authorize an exploration of the
Yukon Valley from its source to its
mouth, and express Willingness to
undergo the evident hardships and
privations of such an undertaking.
The reports of the fertility of certain
large portions of that great valley and
respecting its agricultural possibilities
are SO conflicting and uncertain that
it can hardly be regarded as an abso-
lutte waste of money to authorize an
intelligent official examination of those
valleys to that end.-Judge j. II.

An Early start for tho Fair.

Martinsvilie, Ind, July 23.-Bright
little nine-year old Maggie Richard
son, who lives ON farm fifteen miles
away from here, set out ON her first
journey yesterday. Picking up her
dolie and dollie's little trunk, while
her mothers back was turned, the
rosy checked little one quietly slip
ped away from home. She trugged
In the heat and dust of the country
roads until she reached the railroad
station IN this city.
Maggie boarded the first train out
and contentedly planted Dollie and
herself in the first vacant seat BY
and by the conductor came along and
looked down at the wee little woman
where she sat, pointing out 10 Dollie
the flying trees and telegraph poles.
Where are you going, little girll''
said The blg Man in uniform.
The round, blue eyes were turned
upward in astonishment and unhesi-
tatingly the reply came: "Why Pm
going 10 the Worlds Fair, of course. !"
When the little traveller was re-
stored TO her mother later ON in the
day she was loaded down with SO
many presents that she looked as If
she hau really seen the wonders Of u
Worlds Fair.

One woman,s Idea Of Money.

What is money anyhowf It's desir-
able only because it will get you
what ever you want.
1t will buy you bunch OF red roses
that will make Jennie emile and give
you kiss for them.
1t will give you hours OF untold
happiness when it is used to buy a
delightful story book.
1t will get a lovely frock and
make the woman you love as pretty
as picture.
1t will also get you the picture if
want it.
1t will permit you to hear beautiful
music and see fine acting.
1t will, in many cases, make we'll
the sick and bring JOY to those who
have il not.
1t will build asylums for little
orphans, homes for old people aud
hospitals for those who are crippled.
1t will care for the babies who have
NO one to care for them and make
them good, strong, healthy citizens.
1t will build temples to honor God
and where man may say prayer.
1t will do all this, but after all it
will be of little worth, unless il brings
two pleasures. to the buyer and the
seller. Money, next to love, is the
best thing in this world to have, and
when you get it just remember you
can't take it with you when you die.

where it will give the greatest happi-
Dess.-St. Louis Republic.

the democracy hanging In his
boudoir. When Tilden was declar-
ing with all his mastery vigor that
1t was not the proper function of
government to feed or clothe the
people, TO black their boots or haul |
them from one town to another, the
judge cheered until he became
hoarse. He was opposed then to
government ownership Of land or of
telegraph and telephone lines, be-
cause Tilden was against II.
But now a change has come over
the spirit of his dream. Three or
four sociallstlc cranks and agitators
assemble and resolve that 1t Is the
duty OF the government to take all
the land and tax 1t, and let the
brick blocks, and railroads, and dia-
monds, and silks, and champagne
go free--all In the interest of the
poor farmer and the poor working
man; that the government ought to
take the railroads, the telegraph and
telephone lines, and the fates know
what else, and turn them over to
the political bosses, so that the av-
erage laboring man may be bene-
fited by having his wages increased
to the level of those received by the
United States soldier and the postal
clerks and letter carriers. In short,
they build platform that is enough
to call forth the shade of the de-
parted sage of Gramercy Park.
"Will you run on this platform,
JudgeH' they asked.
"Will II" was the reply. "Well,
just try me-"
The whole spectacle Is pitifully
absurd. It.is n half-pathetic, half
amusing demonstration of the
lengths to which some men will 90
when the allurcment of office is held
before them. Very likely Judge
Lapgford would likewise try to
climb upon a prohibition platform il
somebody would let down the steps.
1t is doubtful If lie could resist the
temptation If branch of the Au,eri-
can Protective League were to invite
him to get in and ride with them.
In short, Judge Langford is cer-
tainly the most versatile politician
that fate ever blew into Spokane
Falls. He is entitled to be called the
great American champion bareback
rider, attempting feat never before
performed by any acrobatlc poll
tician, of riding at the same moment
the spirited democratic mule and
the wild, untamed steed owned by
the agitators.

SPOKANE FAILS. oCT.sO. 1880.
LANGFORD AND .JEFFRIE.S

A lofty spectacle that presented by
the candidacy OF Judge Langford!
Voters of Spokane, pause and con-
template 1t. Here is a man who
aspires to the honorable and respon-
sible position of superior judge, an d
who asks the support of the better
elements of this city while stand
ing upon n platform that advises a
revolution of government and the
abolition of ownership of the soil,
the foundation stone of the Ameri-
can government. Since MIR. Lang
ford believes, with Henry George
and Herr Most, that the present
system of land tenure is crime,
what respect would he have for
property rights coming before him
for adjudication? Yet 1t is proposed
to seat this man as judge tor the
long term of four years, to entrust to
him the power and the responsible
ity of adiudicating hundreds of cases
involving the rights of land own
ers, whose rights he now declares
do not exist.
What do the property owners of
Spokane county think of that nervy
proposition? How do they incline
to the preposterous idea of electing
as an expert in questonsi.of land
ownership man who declares that
there should be no property in land?
1t Is more than preposterous; 1t Is
dangerous, equally as unreasonable
and absurd as would be the selection
of man who Is color blind as an
expert in the matchings of delicate
shades in paint or fabrics. The RE-
VIEW can not believe that the p rop-
erty owners of Spokane county will
consent to an experiment so danger
Gus.
But that is not all, though 1t is
bad enough. Mr.. Langford il con-
sorting with notorious agitator of
the most pronounced anarchistic
views, n man who believes, accord
ing to the testimony Of roputableey
witnesses, in lawlessness and muir
der, IL hanging men who dare as
pire to honorable positions and who
advocate the dignity of the laws, Il
man who favors IA repetition of the
wild scenes ofthe French revolution,
who counsels the hanging of mon
eyed men, because by thrift, sobriety
and industry they succeed in amass-
ing a competence.
The laboring men of Spokane
have been prompt to repudiate the
lawless uttennces Of Jeff'ries; the
responsible citizens of all classes
have expressed their detestatlon of
his inccndiary sentiments, but Judge
Langford, who counscls and con.
sorts with the anarchist himself.
remains strangely and significantly
silent. Why? Because he is in.
capable of sounding the views of the
reputable workingmen, because ne
erroneously believes that Jefiries is
voicing the sentiments of the labor
element when he talks of an upris-
ing and murder, and IL therefor,
afraid that he would sacrifice theii
votes by denouncing the utterances

n little while the master would

This superstition Is evidently an
adaptation of the story Of the life of
Christ, started by some cunning
chief Sitting Bull has adopted tho
new religion; possibly he was Its
originator. There Is reason to be-
lleve that he hopes by this means TO
unite the Indians all over the West
In general uprising. The willy
and murderous old chieftain is just
the character to adopt an audacious
enterprise of this nature, and IL Is
barely possible he may he plotting
an uprising to include all the West
ern tribes. At all events emissaries
are wandering from tribe to tribe,
preaching the new revelation.
While there could bo but one OIL T.
come to such an uprising, It might
lead to the massacre of n large
number OF isolated prospectors and
settlers ere the troops could stamp

A RED(ARk1BLE MAN.

Some time ago conclliatory
American citizen suggested brill
liant scheme for the abolition of
politics. He favored coalition
ticket O! Blaine for president and
Cleveland for vice president. Judge
Langford has appropriated that
brilliant idea, and Is now endeavor-
ing to make 1t work him into the
superior judgeship. But since two
men could not very we'll occupy the
same Office, ho has adjusted the
plan TO suit the occasion. He simply
is running upon two radically con-
hicting platforms for one office.
That Is certainly stroke of genius.
The judge is bedrock democrat.

fine portrait Of that patron saint Of

front. Mr.. Blaine, II will be remem-
bered, was dead set against the Nc
Kinley tariff bill. There are grow
ing indications that the astute
statesman has learned in which di-
rection the tide of public sentiment
Is setting on this question, and that
he has been quick to detect the first
faint murmur of approval, and that
henceforth his powerful plea will be
for the measure that met his strong
disapproval in the councils of the
party. He has declared the warm
est sympathy for Mckinley, and
now has taken the stump in Ohio in
support Of the tariff bill, The con-
test in the party was between the
East and the West, between the
New England manufacturer and the
producers of raw materials upon the
farms and In the mines and forests
of the Western states and terrific
ries, and the latter triumphed. Mr..
Blaine is bowling to the DEGREES of
fate.
A month ago republicans were
conceding that the democrats would
gain majority Of the next house.
Now the fortunes of politics have
changed, and there Is every indica-
tion that the campaign fought out
upon the lines Of the new tariff law
will end in republican victory. At
last the country has been aroused to
the necessity of giving the farmer
more protection, instead of dimin.
ishing that he already enjoys, and
the belief Is growing that the Nc
Kinley bill has been framed for that
very purpose.
If Mckinley wins he will be the
lion of the hour. His measure will
become immensely popular, and he
will be rising presidential star.
On the other hand he will certainly
pluck victory out of defeat, because
he will receive vote that will itself
be In the nature of an approval.
That much Is conceded by the demo
Gratis In his district.
Every farmer, every mine-owner
and every workingman all over the
broad West who has followed the
progress of the Mckinley bill will
take the keenest intereet in the
magnificent struggle against odds
that Is now being waged by the
framer Of that measure, whose
thoughts were with the great pro-
ducing masses rather than the
favored manufacturing Glasses of
New England.

THE INDIAN CRAZE.

The evil that can be wrought by
q single Unbalanced mind is seen in
the reported insolence and warlike
attitude of Sitting Bull, largely
bronght about by the crazy inter.
ference Of Brooklyn woman, who
has deluded herself with the belief
that the government Is incapable
of solving the Indian problem, and
that handful of misguided enthu.
siasts, who were never west of the
Mississippi river, are capable OF
dealing with this question more in
diligently and more humanely than
are the ablest and most conscien.
tious minds in the nation.
Two influences have combined to
create the existing feeling of dis
content in the breasts of the Sioux
nation: The interference of this
Brooklyn woman and other Wis
ionary philanthropists, with their
declarations to the Indians that the
whites have maltreated them, and
the remarkable superstition that has
spread among the American In
dians during the past year, that an
Indian Messiah is coming to redeem
the race and sweep the whites from
the land.
This remarkable story started no
one knows where. But it has
spread all over the American con.
tlnent. 1t is whispered In Alaska
and discussed among the Apaches,
has stirred the hopes of the Sioux
far to the East, and Is known among
the Coast tribes. Last year u party
Of Wyoming Indians travelled on
foot to the Umatilla reservation in
Oregon, led by report that they
would there find this modern Savior.
But though the Umatillas had heard
Of the coming leader, they had not
seen him, and the reservation au-
thorlties returned the wanderers to
their tribe.
Not long ago "a small band OF
wandering Indians appeared among
the Montana tribes and reported
that they had met and heard the
Messiah preach to his people In
Nevada. They declared that they
had been authorized to go forth and
preach the new gospel, and that in

LABOR AND THE TARIFF.

In the REVIEW of yesterday n
piece of news appeared that was
significant of future prosperity for
the producing classes of this state.
1t was announced that large ship
ments of potatoes were going from
Spokane Falls to Fairhaven.
The Mckinley bill has begun to
Influence the produce markets of
Washington. 1t is doing precisely
what it was Intended for 1t TO dot
is shutting the British Columbia
producer out of the seaboard and
Sound cities, and compelling the
dealers in those cities to turn to the
agriculturist of the broad interior for
their potatoes, oats, wheat and hay.
This is broad statesmanship. 1t
compels the proud cities of the sea.
board and the lake shore all over
the United States to turn for their
food products to the producing
classes from which they draw their
tribute, and not to the farmer of an
other nationality. 1t is Just what
New York has been fighting against
for many years, when she has been
seeking the compulsory trading Of
the American consumer In her mar
kets, both In domestic and imported
goods, and the privilege of buying
her food products in the open mar
kets of the world.
Last year the United States i'm.
ported farm produce of the value of
$50, l32,5l9. That enormous sum.
that terrible drain upon the life
blood of American producers, went
10 foreigners, to men who would
take up arms against this govern
ment in case of war, and it had
much to do with the langulshing
markets in which the American
farmer must sell his produce.
But that has all been changed.
The West Is In the saddle now. A
Western man devised barrier for
the protection Of the Western farmer
against the selfish policy of the sea-
board cities, Western congressman
made 1t law, u Western president
affixed his signature thereto, and
now 1t remains to be seen whether
Western producing classes will
stand by the measure that affords
them protection.
The loud outcry against the Nc
kinley bill is based upon the most
sordld motives. Free trade ia an
appeal to the pocket-book, protec-
ton to the patriotism of the people.
Admitting, for the sake of areu-
ment, that the Mckinley bill will
advance the price Of farm products
Is 1T not time to recognize the right
of the producing classes to n greater
reward? In the language of Nc.
Kinley, the farmer IL poor, not bo-
cause OF the high prices he paws for
articles of use and consumption. but
because of the low prices he receives

ley bill proposes to increase his in

"THE SUBMERGED ONE
TENJJLn

General Booth, Of the Salvation
Army, has created quite sensation
in way, by the publication
of n book under the title OF I'm
Darkest England, and the way
Out" 1t contains 800 pages and Is
devoted to the prodgious scheme OF
relieving the poverty, Ignorance
and vice of what the author calls
the Submerged one-tenth OF the
population"
The scheme, though a visionary
one, in the whole proposes to deal
with the matter upon an intensely
practical basis. a city colony is to
be founded for the hungry and
homeless in the great English capi-
tai, which is to be provlsloned with
broken victuals collected daily for
that purpose by commission called
the "household salvage brigade
These motley colonists are to be
given work in labor yards and fac
tories, chopping wood, making mats
sewing sacks, etc, the proceeds to be
supervised and appropriated for the
general good. immense piggeries
are to be established, the animals to
be fed from refuse matter; the pigs
are In due time to yield up their
lives to the cause of human susie
nance and happiness, supplying
bacon for the factories, bones for
button works, grease for soap works,
etc.; secondhand clothing and shoe
establishments are to give work for
an army of tailors and cobblers and
add their renovated stock to the
scant wardrobe of poverty; each man
is to build and own house or hut,
and In order that vice may not Hour
ish In the community there are to bc
no public houses to be frequented by
idle men, or working men during
their leisure hours. The overflow Of
this colony, comprising men, women
and children whose condition has
been made better by its cooperative
features, are to be sent in turn to a
colony in South Africa founded for
that purpose, the transports being
required to begin life of independ.
ence in their new home by paying
the cost of their passage thither in
labor.
English papers discuss this scheme
at length, finding some things in it
to commend. The Daily News sees
in it "the day dream of the philan.
thropist, revised by practical
man." and Is Of the opinion that,
though the Salvation Army Is more
than likely to fail in this attempt to
shed light upon Darkest England"
1t ought to be permitted to try to
succeed. This trial would mean the
appropriation of Gl ,0O0,0 900 to put
the scheme in operation.
On the hypothesis that 1t is better
to dream of an impossible revolution
In the great realm of poverty than
to acquiesce in things as they are,
the scheme of General Booth COM
mends itself to the tolerance, at least,
of the public and the consideration
of the benevolent. The features
most discouraging to Its success are
those that are the universal accom-
paniments of abject, listless poverty
and degradation everywhere. The
earnest cooperation Of the "sub-
merged one-tenth" will be much
more difficult to secure than the
million pounds necessary to put the
scheme in operation,
