Alaska's Great Peak.

The latest government expedition to
Mount St. Elias has presumably settled
the vexed questions with regard to that
elusive summit. The contradictory
reports of various travellers have as
signed the mountain now to Canada and
again to the United States. while 9TH
er observers have given it mixed
nationality by making it straddle the
boundary line. Then its height has
been variously computed by scientific
observers. The United States coast
survey in 1874 gave it height Of
49,, 800 feet. The laundering measure
ments of 1890 reduced it to the almost
commonplace stature of 15,428 feet,
which was great blow to st. Elias
pretensions as the loftiest of all North
American SUBMITS. Last year Mr..
Russell restored the mountain to its
pre-eminence by the positive assertion,
based upon his triangulations, that st.
Elias is over $4,000 feet high.
One of the special missions of this
years expedition was to settle these
disputed points. The party has now
returned with the news that st. Elias
is certainly over 18, 900 feet high, and
we shall doubtless have the exact fig
nres as soon as the calculations have
been reduced. The glad tidings are
also proclaimed that the top of the great
mountain is certainly mile or SO on
our side of the border. The eagle may
scream and the stars and stripes float
above the topmost SHOWS with perfect
It is hoped these latest computations
are made on a sure and solid basis and
that the nationality of st. Elias and its
proper rank among big mountains are
now firmly established.-Jeferson CITY

Wednesday night.-Such thorough

tricity, how little DR.. Franklin knew
what he was doing for the future gen.
erations when he was fooling with
lightning. He little thought in few
generations, it would be light and heat
and the motive power for all mechanic
al purposes; that in few years it
would take the place of all other power,
such as steam; that it would light up
the world. How many strange thoughts
pass through the mind in quick success
sion.
Our first visit is to see Father Martin
work his big steam shovel. l have
been hearing of him and his shovel for
10, these many years. He has been
running steam shovel for about forty
years, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
from the lakes to the gulf. And what
wonderful machine it is: a steam en-
gine, something like a locomotive. Its
wheels are on a movable track; in front
OF the engine is large derrick, and q
big scoop shovel, or rather a big
scraper, with great big under teeth on
its under lip. AS the machine comes
up to the bank of earth, which was
about twenty feet high. The great
scoop goes down to the ground, and is
showed under the dirt at the bottom of
the bank, and, with an upward move
ment, it cuts a great slice of dirt right
out of the solid bank from bottom to
top, which fills the scraper with wide
sweep. The derrick swings way
around over the cars that stand on the
railroad track, and with a snap, the
bottom of the scraper opens with a
hinge on one side, and let's the load of
dirt out on the car. At each sweep of
the scraper, it puts about a yard of dirt
on the car. As stood and looked at
the thing move dirt, thought of some
of the hard days work had done in my
early days. digging an old millrace.
Oh, but it just makes my back ache to
think of the work we had to do, and
with such tools as the country afforded
at that time; Oh, my! After watching
the thing until it had loaded several
cars, which was not long, we left for
other scenes. T. P. r.

ROSl HOShanRh.

The Jewish holiday, Rosh Hoshanab,
which is the Jewish New Year, began at
sunset Wednesday night, from which
time and continuing until sunset last
night The holiday continued. AS the
months of the Jewish calendar are lunar
months, this festival is movable, espec~
tally in leap year, and changes every
year according to the Julian calendar. 1t
occurred on Oct. 3 last year, and will oc
cur on Sept. 1 next year. 1t is a rather
remarkable circumstance that the Jewish
New Years day does not occur in the
first Jewish month, Nissan. but in the
seventh Jewish month, Tishri. The Mo
sale law on the subject is as follows:
"And the Lord spake unto Moses. saying
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying
In the seventh month. in the frat day of
the month, shall ye have Sabbath, q
memorial of blowing of trumpets or holy
convocation. Ye shall do no servle
work therein, but We shall offer an offer
ing made by fire unto the Lord. And
the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Also,
ON the tenth day of the seventh month
there shall be day of atonement; it shall
he a holy convocation unto you; and ye
shall ,ffiict your souls and offer an offer
ing made by fire un o the Lord"

DUTY OE DEMOCRATS.
The Success of the Party Depends Mainly
Upon Individual Effort.

1t will not do for Democrats to forget
for a moment that the success of the
party and its glorious principles this
year will depend mainly upon the indi-
vidual effort of every one who espouses
the cause. Every man has Republican
friends over whom he has more or less
influence, and by appealing to them
earnestly and intelligently he may win
their support for Cleveland and Steven
son. A single vote thus won may turn
the election, and in no state is this more
likely than in Illinois. 1t is the duty of
every Democrat to become a politician
and take an active part in this campaign
of education for the next seventy days.
First let every possible vote be won by a
fair and earnest presentation of the is
sues upon which the party lines are
drawn, and on election day let every
Democrat see that all these votes are
properly cast and counted. If this is
done there will be certain and sufficient
reward for every effort made in the re-
demption of the state and nation from
the thraldom of Republican rule.-Al-
ton Democrat.

The Record Proves 1t.

For twenty years there has been de-
mand for legislation in behalf of men
who work for wages in the state of Illi-
nois. Again and again has the Repub-
ican party promised this legislation, but
the promise was never fulfilled. In 1890
the Democrats, in control of one house
and with a strong minority in the other,
forced through number of bills that
are now on our statute books. The Re
publican party is the friend of the cor
porations and the foe of the farmers and
workingmen. Its record proves it.

Protection that Hurts.

The Pacific coast is writhing over the
prospective effect of the action of the
government of Victoria, Australia, in
creasing the import duty on Oregon pine
to S925 per 1 900 feet and the duty on
canned fruit to six cents per pound, or
about fifteen cents per can. This is in
retaliation against the Mckinley bill.

The planter who produces less than 500

law, the protection" is all for the rich

Shadow Instead Of the Substance.

lister is pretty small matter. What

something actual and substantial, an

sense of the word but SO far they seem
to be likely to miss the substance and
have extended TO them only the shadow.

open to question. No man will be
more willing to explain any unin-
territorial slight felt by the Govern
ment of this country than our res
pected American Minister. IF.
however, it should unhappily prove
to be an intentional criticism on
the Government, then let our min
listers speak with no uncertain
voice. Let them act as if they had
the support of the world, and they
will surely find it sustaining them.
Hawaii is grateful to America.
She has shown her gratitude in all
ways within her limited power. A
rebuke to an official, if merited, is
not a rebuke to the nation he rep
resents. On the contrary, it is in
the way of maintaining the dignity
of friendly power.
| am sure everybody hopes this
matter will be settled with the ut
most good nature that it will turn
out to be all misunderstanding,
but all men will deprecate the idea
OF allowing gratitude or interest to
interfere with the prudent assertion
OF the inalienable rights of a sover-
eign State. Yours obediently,
GEDULD.

Decoration Day Speech.

Mr.. EDITOR: | cannot help feel
ing that you have gone little too
far in your condemnation of the
question raised in the House con-
corning the American Minister'S
remarks on Decoration Day. I do
not say that Hon &c. Macfarlane's
interrogatory was not unfortunately
worded, inasmuch as he took for
granted that which may prove to
be altogether mistaken. For the
utterances of the American Minis
ter may be consistent with entire
absence of intentional interference
with our Government neither do
say that Mr. Parker's too prompt
an answer was characterized with
that diplomatic tact which so
commonly marks the actions of
our Foreign Minister, but / do
think that the mere question of
gratitude to the United States of
America should not be allowed for
. moment to interfere with the ex-
ercise Of our absolute prerogative of
national independence.
America is surely too great to
expect a nation not 80 powerful as
herself, to pass over in cringing
silence the possibly irresponsible
utterances of anybody who happens
to represent her in Hawaii. Amongst
sovereign Powers, the mere ques-
ton of comparative resource is not
regarded in diplomatic questions.
This Government will deserve and
win the respect of all great nations,
and especially Of the North Arneri-
can Republic, if it shows the same
constituencies concerning the utter
ances OF the representatives Of
foreign powers, as may be found in
the governments of any nation OF
the first rank.
In all probability the Amer
lean Minister made use OF
an expression which had a
double application while. at
the time, he himself was com
pleteIy unsuspicious of the effect
his words would have. There Is nc
denying it, his remarks are fairly
