The latest story of wondrous gold IND
IN Alaska is of lake whose bed is liter

are hoored with mud. Hans Christian

captain, told the story of his find on his
arrival IN Seattle few days ago. The
AXE Is Is l, uoo yards long, 400 yards wide
ana l5O feet deep. 1t is fed by water
from glacier, and it's only outlet is a
little stream two feet deep, but of incredi-
pie sW1ftness. According to Mr.. Pande' S
theory, based on assays of some sand from
the shores and bottom of the lake, the
glacier has for centuries been bringing
ooWn go!d from the mountains and de-
poslting IL IN the cup like basis of the
lake The assay showed IS to $40 cubic
yard, and on this basis man could alone
take out $1O,0 year. Mr.. Pande pro-
poses to blast out the side of the lake,
drain off the water, and dredge out his
gold.
Horses have been extremely Cheap in

should be exhorted to continae tbs strug

declaration that tariff reform will moi
be settled until it is settled in the inter
est and to the benefit OF patient ano
long suffering people. All these things
were said but little over year ago.
On Tuesday the President sent his annual
message to Congress and search OF II
from beginning to end fails to disclose
any purpose or any desire to continue the
war. What was public dishonor and
party perfidy" year ago is now pro-
nounced correct in principle. Ever
since the bill became law the revenues
of the government have been falling
below its expend itures and the gold re-
serve has been drawn upon to a large
amount to meet the governments current
bills A practical demonstration OF its
| insufficiency as revenue producer has
been furnished, and sufficient reason for
its modification, outside of those suggest
ed1by the President year ago, is at hand,
and yet it is passed by In silence. Has
| Cleveland grown lukewarm in the cause
of tariff reform2 Is the Wilson-Gorlnan
law to be no longer a vantage ground
| from which to wage further aggressive
warfa7e?" Has the President concluded
to accept 1.-THE results embodied in the
bill as the close of the war;" Are the
millions of our countrymen who have
fought bravely and we'll" no longer to be
cxhorted 'to continue the struggle?" Is
the President really going to permit rob-
berry toscontinue without d word of pro-
test, and is the Communism of help
to be allowed to pile up illgotten gains
while we give our undivided attention to
the paltry question whether greenbacks or
national bank notes shall constitute our
| currency? And are the Democrats going
to sit by and see the cause of the people
thus abandoned without making a
sound? Where is the Hon. William L.
| Wilson? When this law was passed he
declared that its success was due to the
fact that the Sugar Trust had the coun-
| try by the throat, but the ''war would go
on" he continued in fine burst of elo-
quence until every vestige of protection
was swept from the statute book. Mr..
| Wilson is now member of Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet and may feel that while he
retains that position he is bound to ac-
quiesce in the silence of his chief. But
Mr.. Wilson need not remain member.
He can resign and place himself in posi-
tion to carry on the war. There is Mills
too. Is he going to lie down and do
nothing for the emancipation of the peo-
pie from the thraldom of monopoly? Car
it be that in one short year the whole
party have abandoned their policy of
tariff -for-revenue only and are ready to
accept law as finality which is neither
tariff for-revenue only on tariff-for-
revenue necessary? Is the Sugar Trust to
be allowed to retain it's grip or the throat
Of the country .and the communists of
pelf to continue to despoil the less favored
classes? Is the whole Democratic crowd
| to follow Mr. Cleveland into his bootss
