ALASKAN MISSIONARIES.
Their Lives Full Of Dangers, Suf-
ferings and Hardships.
Trying Experiences of the Bearer OF
the Gospel Message to the
Tanana Indians in
xss the Interior.

Many volumes could be written
about the dangers, sufferings and
hardshlps of Christian missionaries.
Sometimes the hardships are more
difficult to bear than the dangers. 1t
is thrilling and inspiring to be always
ready for martyrdom; but to suffer
steadily from bitter hardships, with
out the spice of danger from human
enemies, is harder, and quite as de-
serving of the crown of reward.
The missionary in the remoter parts
of Alaska knows what these hardships
are. Mr. Provost, missionary to the
Tanana Indians, has perhaps the larg-
est missionary parish" in the world.
1t covers more than one hundred thou
sand square miles; and Mr.. Provost
has travelled, with dogs and sledges,
fifteen hundred miles on one trip to
preach the Gospel
With dogs and sledges, we say; but
this does not mean that the missionary
rode. He ran behind the sledge, for
the dogs had enough to do to draw the
food, clothing and blankets without an
additional load of human beings
''Of course" said Mr.. Provost, in Civ
ing an account of his work during a
visit to the state of Washington, "there
is handle on the rear Of the sled, and
we can take hold of that in order to
keep up with the dogs, which make
about twenty-five miles day."
Like the apostle, this missionary
might truly say that he had not run in
vain, for the Indians give proof of hav-
ing heard him, attentively. On one
occasion party of Tahana Indians
travelled more than three hundred
miles with sleds and dogs, il order to
bring to the mission station at Fort
Adams the dead bodies of woman and
child, that they might receive Chris
tian burial. Other Indians have jour-
neyed four hundred miles in order to
receive religious instruction from Mr..
Provost
This missionary has induced these
boreal Indians to build houses and
adopt some of the ways of civilized
life. He has printing press, sets his
own type, and issues a newspaper
twice year. This is twice as often as
he receives any news from the outside
world. He did not hear of the last
presidential nominations until eleven
months after they had taken place.
Although the missionary welcomes
hardships, he is not averse to using the
resources of civilization in the propa-
cation of the Gospel. There are two
thousand miles of navigable water, in
summer, in the Yukon river, in his
parish" and he has hopes Of obtain
ing an electric launch which will en-
able him to make more rapid journeys
in his work.-Youth's Companion.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's message
to Congress which says to England
that she must either arbitrate the
Venezuelan question or fight has
completely astonished the Britishers
as they did not have the least idea
Uncle Sam was IN earnest. One
leading English journal says:
"Can it be possible that such words
come to US from the defendants of
the handful of people landed by
the Mayfower?" Still another
paper says if it comes to war
Engllshmen do not expect nor in
tend to be whipped. England
ought to remember that she has
twice been whipped by these same
United States, once when our
population was not more than
about 100000, and again when our
population was not more than 49,
100000. 1t is quite likely that
Uncle Sam is just as capable of
whipping her now as then.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

Col. VIM. r. Morrison, ofIllinois
and Gov. Levi p. Morton of New
York, are the oldest avowed can
didates for a presidential nomina-
ton. Gov. Morton is in his seven
ty-second year, and Col. Morri-
son is one year younger. But the
youngest of candidates do not put
up better braid of "elastic step"
than the colonel. Next to Col.
Morrison, Senator Allison is the
oldest candidate. Allison is older
than any man ever elected presi-
dent who served full term; if he
should be elected he would be 68
at the time of his Inauguration.
William Henery Harrison is the
only man ever elected president
at 80 great an age, and he held tn
Office but one month. Buchanan,
at &c was the oldest man who ever
entered upon a presidential term
and served it out. John Adams
and Andrew Jackson, each inaugur-
ated at the age of 62, come next in
order, and Monroe, at 81, next.
Jefferson, Madison and John Quin-
cy Adams were each So years old
when inaugurated, the two former
for their first and the latter for his
only term. If Cleveland should
be elected again next year he
would ne only 80 years of age
when inauga--ated. Twenty-three
men have held the presidential Of
fee and their average age has been
a fraction over So years at the time
of Inauguration.

A BOGUS CANVASS.

| A Gold-Bug Attempts to Show How the
Next Congress VIII Stand on the Silver
Question.
The New York World announces
with a great deal of flourish that
there is no possibility of free coin
age bill passing either the senate or
house of the new congress-" 1t, OF
course, prints this information under
headlines in which the friends of silver
are impudently and-.oest5.ssssIy est5.ssssIy de-
nounced as crazy. Well informed peo-
pie have not expected free coinage
bill to go through the congress which
will sit on the first Monday in Decem-
Der. Even If the tendency were in
that direction in the legislative branch
of the government, the certainty of
veto by President Cleveland would be
discouraging to it.
The announcement which the World
makes, though, is on testimony which
is not worth the paper on which it is
printed. 1t is on the report of the
Sound money committee" of the New
York chamber of commerce, which as
sumes to have made q canvass of the
senators and representatives, and to
have ascertained that only thirty-nine
senators are for free coinage, and that
the house will stand this way: Free
silver, 8S; against free silver, ZIG;
doubtful, or views not known, SO.
The names are not given in detail,
but from the summing up by states
many palpable errors are shown. For
example, all of the twenty-one con-
gressmen from Ohio are set down as
against silver and for Sound money"
There are only two democrats in the
delegation-Messrs. Layton and Sorg.
Mr.. Layton is thoroughly committed
to the free coinage of silver. He pre-
that principle, and lives in commu-
nifty of democrats who would not have
preferred him, at the time of the con-
vention, had he not made free pro-
fession of silver views How Mr.. Sorg
would vote we do not know. In tho
last congress he was looked upon for
awhile as having leaning toward
free coinage, but this notion got a
good deal of a setback when he sup
ported the proposition to issue United
States bonds specifically payable in
gold.
Congressman Mcclure, of the Woos-
ter district, though bitter repu blican,
is known all over the state as radical
free silver man. He has not hesitated
to proclaim his views on the subject.
So here are two men in Ohio about
whom the ''sound money" committee
of the New York chamber of commerce
must be mistaken. And the repub-
publican league, which met at Cleve-
land this year, and the republican
state convention. which met at Zanes-
Vile, both refrained from saying a
word against the white metal. There
was nothing in their resolutions about
''sound money or the 'free silver
craze"
We don't believe that congressman,
as a general rule, are standing up in
the present emergency to be catechised
and counted by set of self-constituted
investigators, whose examinations are
not purely to gain information, but to
promote one side of question.-Cin-
cinnati ENQUIRER.

of Sydney, New South Wales, has
invented and patented device by
means OF which an operator in
New York, with keyboard be-

typesetting machine there and de-
liver his matter thus in lead ready

the same operator, by using num-
ber of lines can set up the same
copy simultaneously in a dozen
different places. The work can be
done with the same speed as an or

SO long as an Apache tribe is
allowed to remain tribe so long
will there be waged an irreconcil-
liable ,ondict against the whites
and modern civilization. The
only hope for reclamation of the
Apache, the only chance for his
civilization is in the rising genera
ton which if removed from the in
fiuences of the elders and from the
traditions of its ancestors, may be
made to see that conflict with
the government is hopeless and
that while an occasional white man
or woman may be ambushed and
murdered Il inevitable fate of the

to Commissioner of Indiap Affairs
Browning, at Washington, who

'No evidence shown so far that
Merrill and daughter were killed

plenty of evidence that Merrill and

MR.. HALLS AM MENDMENT.

Says a Washington dispatch:
Representative U. S. Hall, of Mis-
souri,, one of the most active ad-
vocates of the income tax feature of
the Wilson tariff bill, is determined
not to abandon the fight for the in
come tax law. AS a result of
careful inquiry into the subject, an
amendment to the constitution will
be prepared and introduced by
Hall, known as the sixteenth
amendment and is as follows:
Gall taxes, as we'll as duties, i'm
posts and excises, shall be uniform
throughout the United States,
provided all per capita tax shall,
and any other tax be apportioned
among the several states according
to their several numbers, counting
the whole number of persons in
each state excluding Indians not
taxed"
Such an amendment would re-
move from clause Of section z
and clause 4 of section 9, article l,
Of the constitution, the inhibition
against the imposition of direct
taxes unless leved according to
population IN the respective states,
the supreme court having held that
the income tax was direct tax.

the paper would add weight to the mat
ter and that the authorities would take
immediate steps to right his wrongs.
