PROGRESS OF ALASKA.
Interesting Data on the Territory In
Its Governors Annual Report.

Governor Sheakley, of Alaska, in his
annual report, just submitted, records no
dimi mutton. but rather an increase. in
the gold mining output of the Territory
and a successful fishing season.
But the mail service extended to the
Yukon mining region, he says, has not
prov ved satisfactory. Discussing the Pering
Sea seal question, he tersely remarks that
the United States government is main aim
ing, at great expense, breeding grounds
and propa eating the fur seal for the bene-
fit OF other nations who gather in the
products.
The concurrent regulations adopted by
the Paris tribunal have entirely failed to
afford protection to seal life. He thinks
the commission OF naturalists appointed
by Great Britain To investigate the condi
tion of the fur seal herd on the Pribilof
Islands is n step toward Il wise, honorable,
and amiCable settlement OF the question
The governor suggests that a small mill
tary post or police force be established
in the Yukon gold region where there
are now no officers to keep the peace.
The population of Alaska is about 5000.
He strongly urges the adoption Of some
measure to give the Territory code Of
laws and a system of government and to
enable it to suppress the liquor traffic,
which is now causing great demoraliZa-

COAL BILLS OF THE NAVY
Warships Last Year Burned $780,
131 Worth of Fuel.
Commodore Chudwick's Report Urges
the Value of Foreign Coal

According to the annual report VI Com
Inodore Chadwick, chief OF Naval f.uaip
ment, the warships last year burned 49,,
g03 tons of coal costing S62o, l3l. 30, ana
of this amount 81 al tons We're pur-
chased abroad. These figures Exceeded
those OF $40 in proportionto To the lilcr sased
number of ships arloat.
L, is noted tnat only 45 per ceat OF this
fuel was used for steaining purposes,
the remainder being consumed for iuAh
iaries incl uding electric lighting, vent
IL alton, etc. The principal users OF coal
for cruising were the Minneapolis, 6,olo
tons; the New York, 3,lG3; the Olympia,
3,u75: the raleigh, 2.957; the Columbia.
2SO4; the Newark, 2,579, aud the Palti-

W hch used only 764 tons cruising, con-
suIned 1924 tons for auNiliaries, While
the Minneapolis needed only 56s tons for
the after purpose.

FOR THE WORKINGMAN.
His Side Is Taken by a Southern Ari-
 Zona Journal.

Willcox News: One would imagine from reading the articles which have appeared in the territorial papers under the heading of ''An Extraordinary De- mand," that every newspaper man in Arizona was a capitalist and that the miners at Globe who are trying to keep up wages to living standard are highwaymen and robbers. We do not know what the fellows who sent out the Associated Press dispatches con- corning this labor trouble received, but we suppose that the company at Globe paid him something for his work. But right here we will say that any fellow who with his pen or mouth attempts to aid a corporation to cut down the wages of it's employees should be kicked out of the community by every man holding union card or who does honest work, especially if the com- pany is making good profit, as it ap- pears the Old Dominion company at Globe is doing. The old scale of wages, S3 per day for men working under ground, was lower than the Bisbee company pays its employees volun- tarily. But no sooner did the shylock SOA POidI iiO" lHC dlOUo mines get control of the property than they cut wages to s2.50 per day for cer- tain underground work and followed this in few months with further cut of 25 cents per day. This the miners refused to stand; hence the "Out- rageous demands" .Arizonans should remember that all Arizona gets out of her immense mines is the wages paid the men who delve in the bowels of the earth, bringing out the ore. The mines are all owned by eastern and European capitalists and the wealth of Arizona is being dug out and trans ferred to the pockets of the non-resi- dent owners. If these men with an abundance of idle capital desire to come here and invest it in mines where the returns are almost sure, let them pay living wages and they will be re- ceived as friends to the territory But let them operate the mines with for eign labor at starvation wages, and it were better a hundred times that the mines lay idle until such time as they can be worked by our own people and the wealth produced go to build up the west instead of fattening the all ready bursting pockets of the eastern and European millionaires.

Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayer,s Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not 6 patent medicine It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

ILLUSTRIOUS ANCESTORS.

The Republican National convention at St. Louis is the eleventh convention in the party's history The preceding ten conventions nominated the man who was elected president in all but three instances.
 The history of those ten conventions punctuates the National history of the last forty years. Standing out from their record are some of the greatest names of political leaders the world ever saw.
 John c. Fremont was nominated by the first, in which the reyered John Mclean was also a conspicuous fig ure. The second witnessed the strug- gle between William H. Seward and Abraham Lincoln. Thurlow Weed, George William Curtis, Horace Greeley, William M Evarts, Norman B. Judd, and many other illustrious statesmen took part in that famous convention which nominated the great Lincoln. The third convention was in 1864, while the war was still raging. and Lincoln was renominated, with but a few opposing votes cast for Grant. a oi In fnrf f1,, centered round the vice-presidency, for which Hamlin, Daniel S. Dickinson, Ben Butler and Andrew Johnson were candidates.
 The fourth and fifth conventions nominated Grant, Henry Wilson de feating in the fifth the renomination of Colfax to the vice-presidency The next convention was in 1876 at Cincinnati. In urged the resumption of specie payments That was the oc- casion when Ingersoll made his won derful speech and put in nomination the "White-plumed Knight" James G. Blaine. The story how Blaine was defeated by Rutherford B. Hayes is too familiar to repeat. In the 1880 convention Grant, Blaine, John Sher- man and William Windom were all candidates, but Garfield was the nomi- nee, with General Arthur for vice. president. The nomination of Blaine came in 1884, of Harrison in 1888, and again in 1892, all of which Is recent history.
 The St. Louis convention has an | honorable ancestry. Great men have been amongst us." What splen- did minds, what noble souls, were many of those who were prominent in these great National meetings. What momentous struggles fraught with is- sues of incalculable importance were enacted-bravely, successfully fol the most part There were giants on the earth in those days; and there are giants still with gigantic tasks to per form.

silver of Europe is now coined and used as money at ratio of 151a to 1, and all the silver in England is coined at the ratio of 15 to l. India never gives up her silver. Rather, she is steady absorbent of it, and has been for two thousand years, since before the days of Julius Caesar. The amount taken from the mines every year does not compare with the increase in the worlds commerce And silver, just as gold, had Its price regulated solely by the demand for it and the recognition of it as a measure of values.
 It has fallen because some half dozen nations of Europe joined with the United States in repudiating it. All it needs to restore it and 10 com plete its parity with gold is for great government like the United States to declare that it should be so. The Sun talks about .ts bullion price. So it might talk about the price of wheat in New York city if, under the ordi- nances Of that city, no one could eat wheaten four But does The Sun pre- tend that it would be at the same price if such an ordnance could be stricken cut" The Sun is usually clear on most subjects, although generally wrong.

"The awards granted at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, compared to the number of exhibitors, present the smallest number ever granted on the occasion of a Worlds Fair. This re- suit distinctly shows that unusual care and precaution were taken by the ex- pert judges, who, because of the rule requiring them to declare over their own signatures the reasons for their judgment, fully realized the great re- sponsibility thrown upon them. The exhibitor, therefore, may be assured that his award will have value such as the award granted at previous Ex- positions never gave" This state ment, from the official circular of the Worlds Columbian Commission, as ap- piled to Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only medicine of the kind admitted at the Worlds Fair, and which also received the highest possible awards, must con- vince the most sceptical mind that this well-known bloOd-purifier stands far in advance of all other similar preparations in existence.

RECOGNITION GIVES VALUE TO
 SILVER.

Some time since MT. Moreton FreWen Urote a letter to MT. Bland of Missouri and to demonstrate how recognition and demand for silver affect the price. the letter cited the fact that on q certain Monday in June, 1893, the ratio of silver bo gold was 1 to "A; on Friday of the same week is was l to 20. That fall was brought around because Of the closing of the India mints, and then he asks if India had been able to raise the ratio 20 per cent by free coinage, would not the additional sup port of the United States have carried the ratio to 1 to Is? The New York Sun, worried over the figures, tries to give reason, as follows:
 kir FreweD asks why the United States cannot by free coinage raise the yaIue of silver to 16 to 1. answer is, that under free coinage the converting of silver bullion into silver dollars would not in the least diminish the quantity of the metal in the market. At present nobody can afford to melt down silver dollars for manufacturing purposes, because they are worth near 1y twice as much in the shape of coin that they would be in that of bullion. If, however, silver bullion is made convertible at pleasure into coin,
 oy ha yoyptrI INl at pleasure back into bullion. and thus free coinage would have no effect upon the commercial ratio of silver and gold The ratio would continue to be. as it is now, about 31 to 1, and our dollar would be depreci- ated to about B cents in gold.
 With a most honest intention to see If there is anything in the foregoing, after careful study we cannot make it out Prior to 1873 the law of the United States made the 412h-grain standard dollar 8 unit of values and compelled the purchase by the hints of the United States of any pure silver brought or offered at that rate. Now, with that law restored, can The Sun or any other authority explain why dol lar would not be worth dollar wheth- CT in coin or in bullion?
 And why should any one offer to melt down silver dollars then for man. ufacturing purposes any more than they can now? The Sun says the reason is because the converting of silver bullion into silver dollars would not in the least diminish the quantity of the metal in the market. Well, what of it? What sense is there in that? If there was so much of silver that it could be produced practically in unlimited quantities, like lead or copper, then the argument of The Sun would be all right, .,
 But silver is precious metal. It is impossible to get enough of 1t to serve the worlds needs as money; enough, indeed, of both silver and gold com bined. Every civilized country is filled with paper money as means to do work, which. under our constitution was expected to be done by gold and silver alone. Since October, 1893, there has been no spot under the flag where any owner of silver bullion could sell dollars worth, and still 1t has all been absorbed.
 The world has had to have it, and with it restored by our government there is none to come, because all the
