Huntiux the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it indiscripinately called, is a
species Of big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not so much because
OF the difficulty Of killing the
animal, nor because OF Its actual
rarity. 1t is a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t is not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually. among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game

ARcAER'S FAvORITE HORSE.
h Story Of the Famous Jockey and
the Steeplechaser Fatigue.

Archer, the celebrated jockey, vas
riding in u steeplechase, his mount being
a horse called Fatigue. The man was
fond of the horse, which returned his
affection with liberal interest. At the
last fence the horse fell and broke his
leg. Archer. though of course thrown,
fell away from the horse, and was not
badly hurt. The pathetic scene that fol-
lowed is described by Vogue:
He start,l away to deliver news Of
the accident and arrange to have the
horse shot, but was stopped by hearing
q whinny. Poor Fatigue could only lift
his head, but he was looking after and
calling the rider he loved so we'll.
Archer returned to the horse, and sitting
down on the turf, took the poor Great
ure's head in his lap, and sen a boy
with "a message for what was necessary.
Meanwhile the horse lay still, except
for all occasional spasm Of pain.
No one wanted to shoot poor Fatigue.
A small boy finally volunteered, if nc
one else would, but he q "a heap ruthcr
not. When the pistol was finally given
him his small hands trembled $ that
Archer took the weapon from him, say
ing:
"YOu'rc nervous, lad; you'll brngle
it. He sha'n't have his pain added to.
He'll never know what put him out Of
his misery" Addressing the horse, he
added, IF l wasn't fond Of you
couldn't bring myself to do it; but yor
sha'n't run risks Of being hurt more
With one hand he careSsed the horses
head. with the other he put the pistol
to the forehead.
Good by, Fatigue, old chap, good
\by, and he pulled the trigger.
Fatigue hardly struggled, but settlcd
down, dead, with his head still on hi
favorite riders lap; and Archer sa
quite still till the last culver was over
his head bowed, and did not notice tina
the red was staining his clothes.

GENERAL EMPLOYMENT.

This Will Give Prosperity Without
Reference to Other Theories.
The impossibility of ever establishing
any commercial and industrial conditions
which will make everybody rich and pros
porous has induced many thinkers to
adopt socialistic notions in which they
dream of paternal Government which
will take from the rich to give to the poor
and keep up constant and systematic
distribution of benefits to the entire popu-
lation, an utterly impraericable scheme.
To come back to reasonable and prac-
ticable definition of prosperity, it means
that condition of affairs in which the en-
tire able-bodied population is engaged in
productive labor at fair wages. When
this shall be realized. there will be gen.
eral activity in business, with money lib
orally invested in the development of the
natural resources of the country, includ-
ing the building of railroads. particularly
in the Southern States. Of course, there
will be many persons who are dissatisfied;
but that will be the only general pros
perity that will be possible in this world.

"Put the building right here" said
President Jackson, thrusting his cane in
to the ground, hundred yards east of
the White House, when. in 1888, a To-
cation for the Treasury building was to
be determined.
The Federal government was transfer
red from Philadelphia to Washington in
the year 1900. 1t took six days then to
make the trip from Philadelphia to Wash
ingtor, which is now accomplished in
three hours. The Treasury was located
in plain three-story building which had
been erected for the purpose, facing on
18th street. In 1904 the business
had so grown that a new building was
necessary, and one was erected at the
enormous cost of $4,000, and was her.

there was a little mistake about this, for

they did the Capitol and White House,
when they entered Washington August
18th of that year. The Treasury was
then transferred to a group of buildings
in the western part of the city, which
were known as the "seven buildings"
AS soon as practicable another building

by fire, and large amount of valuable
public documents lost This was follow

people. who thought they ought to have
say in the location of the new Treasury
building, and it was to end this factious
quarrel that President Andrew Jackson
planted his cane in the earth just east of
the White House, and issued the order
quoted above: "Put the building right
here" At least this is a local tradition.
and nobody seems disposed to dispute its
accuracy.
The corner stone of the present building

Treasury Levi Woodbury.. The original

corridors within it's walls measure miles
in length, and the number of people who
are daily employed in it's various depart
ments is over three thousand. while in
other buildings which have been leased
for such portions of the work as cannot
be accommodated within the Treasury
building are an additional thousand or
more. The employees of this department

ber to stock respectably-sized city. From

1t is impossible to compute the exact
losses inflicted on manufacturers and
wage earners under the Democratic free
trade policy. Excellent authorities place
the average yearly loss in wages, as COM
pared with the amounts paid during the
presidency of Harrison at not less than
S2oO,OOO,OOO. This would make total
loss in four years of $1,0O0,OO0,OOO to the
wage Garner. The shrinkage in the value

properties of all sorts it is likewise impos-
sible to measure accurately. The most
competent statisticians, however, estimate
the cost to the nation in the fall of wages

1898, at from three to four thousand mill
ions of dollars. In other words, the Dem
ocracy's stubborn attempt to reverse the
fixed protective policy of the United States
and substitute for it the policy of free
trade, has cost the American people sum
about equal to the expense of putting
down the rebellion.

Bryan's Money Theory Won't Hold.


The whole structure of Bryan's recent
talks is built upon the theory that when
money is scarce times are bad. The best
times the United States has ever had was
when money was scarcer than it is now,
and the hardest times the nation has
known for thirty years was when the cir
.culating medium was at its highest point
of issue. If Mr.. Bryan had said that
times were good when money was plenti-
fully in circulation, and bad when money
was boarded away, his axiom would have
been all right, but to hold that the mere
act of initiating the currency will drive
hard times away is to fly in the face of his
tory.
What the country needs" says Mr..
Bryan, sis money enough to transact it's
business" What the country really needs
is business enough to call its existing
money into service. According to the re-
port of the Comptroller of the Treasury
there are now lying in the banks of the
country between FIVE and six billions of
dollars. Paradoxical as it may seem, this
is nearly five times as much money as
there is in existence, and yet every dollar
of it is available for the transaction of
business. Business makes its own money
and is not dependent upon the amount of
currency set afoat by the Government So
long as there is enough to form a reason
able basis. With less money than at pres
ent the United States transacted billion
after billion more business in 1892 than in
1896. As well might Mr.. Bryan say that
it is impossible to measure the wheat crop
of the United States because there are not
enough half-bushel measures to hold it all

Mr.. Bryan's Diamonds

Mr.. William ]. Bryan appeared before
an audience which about filled two
thirds of Carnegie Hall in New York
last night. This friend of the "toiling
masses" and enemy of plutocrats ap-
peared in better form than when he was
campaigning. His girth is greater, his
cheek filled out, and he had two dia-
monds in the expansive front of his shirt.
When he was campaigning he only had
one, but as he is now rolling up riches
and is not dividing to any extent with
the ''toiling masses''-he can afford to be-
deck the bosom of his shirt with rare
and radiant gems which dazzle the eyes
of the honest citizens with long whiskers
who reside on the banks of the raging
Platte.
The wearing of diamonds and enuncia-
tion of the peculiar principles Mr.. Bryan
affects, do not go well together.-Albany

An Honest, Sincere Man.

The address must, we believe, impress
every reader as being that of an earnest,
honest, sincere man, determined to do his
full duty. 1t is also the address of man
nearly all of whose economic creed can be
expressed in one eword-"protection." But
possibly the needs of the treasury and the
caution of congressional leaders of his
party less fully absorbed in that theory
and policy may make the new tariff law
more conservative than if the new Presi-
dents wishes had full sway. Except for
the excess of zeal displayed in this con-
nection, Mr.. McKinley's program we re-
gard as conservative and wise-likely to
promote the progress of returning conf
dence in the future of business if faith
fully carried out.-Jacksonville Times Un-

is as definite and distinct as the party $
creed in regard to the rights of secession
or the policy of protection to American

President Mckinley has given the pub
lie an inaugural without false note or
an ambiguous sentence. It is clear,
straightforward, systematic and forcible.
There is nothing merely perfunctory
about it. He recognizes the difficulties
that have been heaped up during the long
depression, and frankly. says that recov-
cry will require time, even with wise leg
islation. He first of all discusses the
financial situation, because that is upper
most in public consciousness. And he
favors the creation of an. expert commits
sion to consider the revision of the coin
age, currency and banking laws.
The President will always hold himself
ready to cooperate with other great COM
mercial powers for International bimetaI-
ism, but until such cooperation can be
secured, the silver coined and that may
be coined here must be kept constantly at
parity with gold. To this all our resources
are pledged, and the pledge must be kept.
