Asto Alaska.

The whole secret of the English de-
sire for readjustment of the Alaskan
boundary is the euphonious
way of describing England. IS attempt to
grab land to which she has no title
lies in the fact that behind the Mt. st
Elias range there is tract of arabic
land of vast extent, known as the
peace River Country" which can be
opened to settlement only by the pos
session of a Pacific port, to be reached
through a pass in the mountains at
some point north of British Columbia.
This Peace river region is land be-
lieved to possess great possibilities in
the line of wheat growing and stock
raising. If it could be made access
sable to the sea, branch of the Cana
dian railroad could be built into it,run-
ming northwesterly from Manitoba,and
English pre-eminence in the far North
west could be still further assured
Likewise, England would possess still
another North Pacific port on the Am
erican side from which, as stragetic
point, she could more formidably
threaten the Pacific terminus of the
Trans-Siberian railway, than she can
from. Esquimalt.
The United States will refuse, dis
tinctly, to become a party to any such |
design as this by any sin Of omission,

stole u march,
The Idaho City World declares that
the Odd Fellows of that town are self
ish as well as odd and proves it by tell
ing the story OF the members having
had prepared for them a grand turkey
supper, which they proposed to enjoy
all by themselves, without the presence
of lady. But alas, for their calcula-
tionsl We will let the World tell OF
the result:
Everything went along smoothly,
the tables were set and the turkeys and
other edibles looked tempting. The
three Odd Fellows who set the tables
went upstairs to announce to their fei-
low Odd Fellows that the feast was all
prepared and awaiting the onslaught of
their ravenous appetites. They had
tasted for the occasion and the thought
of the feast after the famine, filed
their souls with joy and their empty
stomachs with something akin to raw
enous glee. In short, they felt good all
over when the announcement was made
that the feast was ready. 1t was just
ample for the hungry Odd Fellows,
but its amplitude was insufficient for
all who partook thereof. When the
Odd Fellows courageously marched
down to the lower hall, in full force,
they never dreamed that an enemy had
been organized and had spies out and
just at the right time had made bold
charge and captured the tables, tur-
keys and all. When they entered the
festal hall ghostly spectacle met their
wild gaze, they threw up their hands,
turned pale and fell back a few PAGES,
and stood like stone statues with hor-
ror and amazement depicted in their
pale physiognomies. Each seat was
occupied by what, to all appearances,
was q ghost, They were as still as
they we're white.

Where turkey feasts and Hight hearts gay,

When the Odd Fellows recovered
from their shock, they concluded that
the intruders were not ghosts, after all,
but real, living beings with appetites
like themselves, who had formed an I'M
holy alliance for the purpose of joining
in the feast without formal invitation.
They finally threw off their sheets and
masks and revealed their identity
They were Rebekahs It is hardly nee
essary to say that they carried out
their program and joined in the feast.
After the tables were cleared, all joined
in dancing for awhile, then repaired to
the upper hall and played high five I'M

Sound .NInney,

A clear definition of sound money
is now being slowly unfolded to the
comprehension of the masses. At the
present time Sound money consists
of s350,Oo0,ooo in greenbaclzs redeem,

means that gold reserve shall be
maintained in the treasury for the re
demption of the greenbacks, amount.
ing to 51o00o0,00O. AS fast as this gold
is withdrawn either for boarding OF
private shipment by the presentation
Of greenbacks for redemption, ''sound
money" requires the secretary to buy
more gold with which to replenish it.
So, reduced to its simplest terms,
''sound money means that the govern
ment shall circulate greenbacks in suf-
ficient quantity to give the Wall street
gold ring a chance to indulge in com
Portable speculation. Whenever things
on Change become dull and there is no
market for bonds and stocks, Sound
money" requires the government to
sell few bonds to loosen things up.
But this is not ALL In order to be en-
tirely sound" it is necessary to keep
the greenback circulation always on
full head in our currency. This will
enable the Wall street gold ring to
compel the United States to keep on
redeening greenbacks to the end of
time.
It strikes us this "sound money
idea is a rather fat thing By the end
of the next century, if we continue to
maintain "sound" currency, Wall
street will own the nations. T. Post.

Baltimore, Jan. Ell may be definitely
stated that President Cowen of the Balti-

seat in Congress until the close of the
present session.
In speaking Of the matter one of MI
Cuwen's personal and political friends said
today: MIR. Cowen told me that the chair
man of the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency, Of which he is a member. had re-
uuested him not to resign at present, and
that he had agreed to retain his seat until
the close of the present session.
Mr.. COwen is assisting in the preparation
of a bill on the currency question and he
desires To aid in the completion Of the work
and the chairman of the committee desires
his aid because he is looked upon as one Of
the best posted and sOundest men ON that
important committee.
Besides Mr.. Cowen does not think that
Speaker Reed intends to allow much to be
done this session, and consequently his
duties at Washington will not greatly in
