DR.. w. V. Kngsbury of the United
States coast survey party, which was sent
to Alaska to establish the boundary lines,
confirms the results of the Ogivie survey,
that the rich gold mines are Canadian pos
sessions, but adds: "All Alaska is now at
fever heat over the discovery of gold in the
placer mines on the upper Yukon. Old
miners who have worked in the California
and South Africa mines tell me that the
Alaska strike is the richest they have ever
seen. The upper country along the Yukon
is fast filling up with people who have the
gold fever, and the miners already there
are so excited with the prospects of fortune
that they will not leave the fields even to
buy their supplies. In my opinion Alaska
is going to prove one of the richest mineral
possessions of this country

This Booming Year.


What boom we will see in railroad
securities this fall, and what year for
the farmers! In the last week oats have
gone up p cts. bushel, corn six cts. a
bushel, wheat nine cts. and rye 10 cts.
France alone will want of our wheat this
year as much as our whole export of last,
and our corn will this year take the place
of Russian rye in Italy and Austria.
Stocks will fairly boom this fall and the
Mckinley bill be praised among the farm
ers and denounced in towns for putting up
the price of -four, when really the advance
will be due wholly to outside causes.

Hotel late last evening. They have been

Alger told Tribune reporter that the eel

kind he had ever witnessed, not so much
for the number of people concerned, but
from the beauty of the surrounding coun-

buildings in the town.

"THE BEST BLOOD IN THE WORLD"
Ignatius Donne1Iy's Speech to the
Farmers Alliance.
Paul gpaoioI


Through various rhetorical scenes Mr..
Donnelly guided his listeners and then led
them into this:
There was a rich man in San Francisco,
who was very corpulent and troubled with
a pendulous stomach. He consulted
Chinese doctor. The disciple of Confucius
shaved his head, put plaster on it, stood
him IN corner and told him to stand
there until the plaster drew his belly up
| don't know but he is standing there yet.
The old political parties in this country
have had the people in q corner for seventy
years past. drawing up their bellies with
plaster of fair promises. The belly shrinks.
but ii does not rise. When the victim
complains the doctor changes the plaster;
he takes off the Republican plaster and
puts on a Democratic plaster, and still il
draws and still the victim waits, for both
plasters are made out of the same material
and bought in the same shop, the Old
Shop of Monopoly.
You may clothe the hog in broadcloth.
but he is hog still. You NAV put silk
hat on his head and a gold chain about his
neck, but he Is nothing but hog and the
bristles protrude through the iewelry.
And Mrs. Hog--clothe her in satin, hang
her ears with diamonds, cover her mann
mary glands with Nalennciennes lace and
yet she is nothing but hog, and when
she speaks you can hear between the sylla-
bles the cultural grIlnts that remind YOU
OF gorging and guZzling in the royal swill
tub.
I'VE must keep the hog in his place.
might say. in his pen. We must prevent
him from breaking out and devouring his
neighbors' gardens. The law must en-
force fair play, equal rights and equal
opportunities. Civilization consists, in its
last analysis. in the arresting of human
selnshness, in keeping the hog in his
place.
When mankind devised laws. centuries
ago, 10 punish robbery murder and arson.
they simply placed limitations on human
selnshness, on the wild bears of the race.
The police, the army, the courts, the gov
eminent, all are merely mechanism to
keep human seiiiShness in check. Our
evils today are due TO the fact that we
have not yet provided for many new forms
of human selnshness which have arisen
out OF the new conditions of society. We
have not caught up with the hogs. They
have broken loose IN new place and are
scurrylng hellwardS; but il is merely a
question of time. There are enough of us.
We will drive them back before long into
their pens and put a barbed-wire fence
around them. And if that won't hold
them in We will kill them and smoke
their flesh and feed il to the hungry null
titudes.''
Giving grandiloquent words to the cause
of the Alliance, he closed: Behind the
Alliance stands the shadovy legions of ali
the good and great who have died for the
prosperity and liberty of mankind. We
represent the best blood OF the world ard
We march surrounded by the noblest asni-
ratlo2~S OF mankind. Let US rally the
Stragglers, close up the ranks. drive out
the camp-iollowerS and give the mighty
command FORWARD = 10 the human race. =

far as the cash is concerned the IS 900 has
been spent and also the $4,000 for the old

1t may be mentioned, incidentally, that
there are features in connection with the
construction work and accounts which
should receive the attention of the city
council in the interest of system.
A still more interesting phase of the
water-works matter is that relating to
operation as distinct from construction.
