ALASK AS RESOURCES.

When Secretary Seward purchased
Alaska from Russia for seven million
dollars there WAS much adverse criti-
cism throughout the country on the
useless" investment of such large
sum in country barren OF everything
except snow and ice and few stunted
trees AS the years passed on, how
ever, 1t began 20 dawn upon the people
that the money paid 10 Russia was not
wholly thrown away. The seal indus
try was found to be valuable one, and
after awhile 1t was discovered that
gold mining might be made profitable.
Now this interest has become 80 impor-
tant that surveying corps has been
sent among the hills OF the interior to
determine the extent OF this dep cit,
which is believed to be very great and
very rich, some geologists even predict
Ing that the day will soon come when
the enormous yield OF Alaskan gold will
affect materially the monetary and art
value of the metal all over the world
Besides the wealth o! the territory
above mentioned, Alaska is also rich in
coal and minerals, with a practically
inexhaustible supply OF magnificent
timber, which alone is worth many
times the price paid for 1t. Like the
Louisiana purchase of Jefferson, the in.
vestment made by Mr. Seward in john
sons administration promises 20 add
an empire to the extent and resources
OF the United States, where millions o.
people may yet find homes OF confer.
and plenty under the changes of climate
that may follow the advance OF civil
izasion and the development OF the in
terror.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

The treatment accorded to the An
cient and Honorable ARTILLERY of Boston
by the people OF England, from the
queen to the hum blest subject OF the
realm, on the occasion of their recent
visit to the mother country cannot :bus
be very Gratifying to sll Americans.
Attentions and courteses were show
cred upon the visiting Bostonisns such
as has seldom been accorded to the
crowned heads of European countries.
Everywhere they went the greatest hos.
pitality WAS shown them, the queen and
Prince of Wales especially taking par
ticuiar pains TO show their good will for
their brother Anglo-Saxons from across
the sea. This treatment in view Of the
late Venezuelan imbroglio and the
efforts now in progress to reach an am
icAble conclusion on this vexed question
leads to the assurance that satisfac-
tory settlement is sure to be arrived
at, since both England and the Unite d
States will resort to honorable means to
avoid wsr between the countries. The
old adage that blood is thicker than
water holds good in the case Of the PEG.
pie OF Grea. Britain and America.
There are rivalries and jaalousies, OF
course, between them and occasionally
slight friction will arise over M alters n
which both are equally interested, but
the ties Of blood, q common language
and immense commercial interests are
such that resort to war in almost any
event would be the least satisfactory
way OF settling any dispute that might
arise. The people of both countries
have high respect for each other in
spite Of the little j.rs that occasionally
arise, and each nation recognizes the
fact that war between them would
jeopardizs interests Of paramount i'm.
portance not only to them but TO the
progress OF civilization throughout the
world TIA permanent court OF arbi-
tration should be the outcome OF the
present negotiations 1t would be one Of
the greatest blessings that could be be-
slowed upon both countries. The work
"a Piohieoo Gnu euIlS HtMeHl WulCn
marks the course CT English speaking
people wherever they may be could
then go on uninterrup.edly, with the
assurance that civil and religious
liberty would continue to extend till
the whole world would be brought into
touch with those grand characteristics
OF development that always follow in
the footsteps OF the Anglo-Ssxon race

This change OF sentiment is especially
noticeable among the miners OF the

leading coal operator OF Yves. Virginia,
has recently returned from quite an ex =
tensive tour through the coal beds Of

here is what he ssid of the political
sentiments OF the paris OF the State

Free silver has won converts by the
thousands in all that section talked

For years the mine workers have ex-

Some weaks ago it looked as though
the Republicans would have q walk
over in Minnesota, but since then the
opposition have been saving wood and
saying nothing, until now the outlook
has changed SO materially that even the
staunchest Repu blicsns admit that the
result in that State is doubtful. 1t Is
not only in Minnesota. but in Nebraska.
Kansas, Illinois, and other Western
States, that the tide Is sweeping in the
direction Of free coinage, with every
prospect OF the election OF Bryan and
Sewall the Democratic nominees for
President and Vice-Pfesident. The
Mckinley men see the handwriting on
the wall and find themselves very far
out OF the way from their frst calcula-
tions as to the result.
