A Local klOndike.

The world is full of Klondikes. Gold ap-
pears in abundance in Alaska, Canada,
Missouri and Michipicoten. Pearls abound
in Arkansas. Dollar wheat in great plenty
fills the barns Of the west. The District is
not without its opportunities to find wealth
with little risk and at slight expense. If
the laws and regulations are in effect what
they seem to be on their surface this COM
munity might readily be richer by 500 a
day, and without suffering starvation, de-
privation, cold or any other distress. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
would supply the pelf. The police court
treasury would grow plethoric. The richest
placer mine would be discounted. And all
this merely by the application of little
vigor in the matter of prosecuting the cor
poration named for violating the regula-
lions as to the maintenance of gates at
grade crossings. The facts of this case
are now we'll known. They have been for
chilly called to the attention of the authori-
ties ard today the first steps have been
taken to stake out the claims that invite
the police and the prosecuting officers.
Properly worked the Florida Avenue mines
would yield yearly revenue of $233, 600,
and the funds would soon be on hand for
the erection Of a new municipal building.
From present Indications the golden oppor-
tunity will not be neglected.

Senator German has returned from his
sojourn at Saratoga. and is described as
being in the pink Of physical condition.
When Intercepted yesterday about politics
he declared that he was not posted, but
said he would now put himself in touch
again with current events and find out
what was going on. This, of course, was
mere pleasantly. Mr.. German sleeps with
one eye open. and even when in loafing
mood Is comparatively q busy man. It is
entirely safe to assume that no move made
by either side on the political chess board
at home during his absence has escaped
him. and that the factional fighting among
the republicans In particular has been care
fully appraised for all that 1t may be made
to yield to the democracy.

MfscalcuIating in Indiana.

There will be no election in Indiana this
fall. but the silverites of that state are
already making their calculations for the
Congress elections of next fall. Their hoce
is in a reaction against the dollar wheat
BOOM They are confident that a reaction
will come The farmers. as they believe.
encouraged by the present price, will SOW
heavily again this year. with the result
that next years wheat crop will be enor-
nous. and unless another failure of the
crop abroad occurs-which the silverites do
not think is at all likely-the price will
fall In other words. the Indiana silverites
are reasoning that. with good prices for
wheat, the farmers are Indifferent about
silver. but with wheat low again, the
farmers will again support the demand for
free coinage at 10 to 1.
Those who hold to this opinion miscon-
ceive the whole matter. 1t may turn out
TO be true that because of the size of tho
crop. both in this country and elsewhere
the price Of wheat next year will not SHOW
the high figures of this year. It all de-
pends- II there is very heavy sowing In
this country and elsewhere this fall, and
an enormous crop everywhere Is harvested
next year. the price cannot be as high is

Jug-HnndIed Arbitration.

Japan expresses herself as willing to ar
Ditrate the immigration controversy with
Hawaii on condition that the court to try
this international Damage case shall not
take into consideration Hawaiis defense.
Hawaii refused to permit certain Japan
csc immigrants to land, contendng that
some of than were contract laborerS,
whose contracts had not been approved by
the Hawaiian government. required by
law. and that others were not in the own
ership of so. which the law makes a con-
dition of the admission of an alien to Ha-
wall Some of the latter class had $50 in
possession, but the Hawaiian government
satisfied itself before rejecting them that
the men were paupers, to whom the money
had been temporarily loaned by the immi-
grafton company in order to deceive the
Hawaiian officials and to evade the law
Japan contended that her people had the
right to enter under the treaty of 1871
and that Hawaii's rejection of them was
not only in violation of that treaty, but
was the more Injurious because abrupt
and discourteous. unaccompanied by any
notice of an intended change of policy.
Concerning the applicability of the treaty
of 1871 to the controversy Hawaii has
added that this treaty applies only to the
merchant class, and not to the japanese
laborers to whom entrance has been re-
fused.
Japan now says that Hawaii in attempt
ing to convince the court of arbitration
that it rightfully refused admission to the
in migrants and is not justly accountable
to them in damages must not question the
good faith of those immigrants with $50
in hand who were rejected as alien paupers,
attempting gross fraud: and Furthermore
that Hawaii must OF meet a reference to
the treaty of 1871 in support of the immi-
grants by the contention that the treaty
Is limited in its application to the mer-
chant class of immigrants and has no
bearing upon the present case.
The original proposition of England to
arbitrate her claims to land occupied by
Venezuela. but to exclude from the arbitra-
ton land claimed by Venezuela but occu-
pied by her, is now fairly outdone. In the
matter of proposing jug-handled arbitra-
tons the new Oriental outshines the nervi-
est of the Occidentals.
1t would have been simpler and more
direct If Japan had expressed willingness
to submit to arbitration the amount of
damages due to it, provided it's right to a
verdict and some damages was not ques-
toned

But two propositions are now of vital i'm
portance in connection with the appear
ance of yellow fever in the South: a. the
fever exists, and 81 heroic and harmonious
efforts-both state and national authorities
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS be made to stamp it
out. All else can well afford to wait.
Where tie germs came from, whether the
first diagnosis of the fever at Ocean
Springs was correct or incorrect or
whether there may be one case more or
less In the daily reports from localities
where the fever has already appeared, are
not at present directly to the point. If
there has been carelessness here or there.
on anybody's part, the question can be in
Vestigated and the responsibility fixed
later. For the present nothing is of half
SO much Importance as to kill the pest.
1t seems proper to say this after reading
the sharp criticism of the Ship Island
quarantine station by a member of the
Mississippi Board of Health. That station
may not be perfect for its purposes It's
presence near the Mississippi coast may
not be agreeable to those living in that
locality. Quarantine stations are not de-
sirable institutions to have in ones neigh
borhood. But they are very necessary, and
they serve an invaluable purpose. The

At present nothing is known about where
the germs came from. All is conjecture.
Ship Island quarantine station; an oyster
bed planted where the drainage of Ocean
City pours over; Cuban flibusters running
in and out on their errands between the
American and the Cuban shores. Specula-
ton hits upon these and other things to
explain the outbreak. The subject is not
pressing. 1t is scarcely worth while to
say that with yellow fever epidemic in

cruel policies of General Weyler, danger

quently been referred to. Open travel be-
tween the two shores has not at any time
been interrupted. If the germs have been
brought from Cuba fiIibusters are not alone
within range of accusation.
But attention and activity should con-
centrate on facts and not on speculation.
The fever is here and must be fought.
Means. state and national, are ample for
the purpose. Physicians and experts are
hurrying to the scene in way that hon
ors themselves and their profession, and
everything seems to promise prompt
check to the fever's advances.

point and taking himself out Of the race
was expected. But It is to be observed that
from no quarter comes a report that Mr..
German will not manage the approaching
campaign. On the contrary, from every
quarter comes the report that the fight is
to be made under the senator's personal
direction. He has returned home strength
ened and refreshed for the fray. He is in
fighting form, or. as already stated, '.in the
pink of condition"
This Is the point of most interest and inn
portance. The men In Maryland. republi-
cans, democrats and independents, who are
opposed to Mr.. German and his methods,
and who desire to see him retired to pri-
the affairs Of the state, know the man they
are dealing with. His stage plays are
often very shrewdly contrived. But I'M
selfshness Is no part of the Maryland SEN
ator's makeup. When he is occupied, and
especially when he exhibits unusual in
dustry. an outcome of individual value to
Mr.. German is generally in his calculations.
So that in taking matters into his own
hands this fall. and preparing for the fight
of his life. Mr.. German gives such evil
dence Of where, in case of democratic sue
of self-effacement at this time could pos
sibly extinguish.
Democratic success in Maryland in No
vember means six years more of Mr.. Cor
man in the Senate, and material strength
ening of the German machine in the state
all along the line.

slow to see or could not see at all last year,
Is that the price Of wheat Is controlled by
the law Of supply and demand and not by
the amount of silver notes or silver coin
in circulation. He has seen take place
what he was solemnly told last year could
not possibly take place. He has seen
wheat go up and silver go down. And the
conditions which have brought about the
separation are so very plain that the
franker of the silver leaders-the very men
who made the assertion last year with so
much vehemence that the price of wheat
could never rise until silver was remone-
tized-now confess their mistake on that
point.
How then will 1t be possible to bring the
farmers in any force again, even with the
price of wheat lower than 1t now Is, to
support free coinage at 16 to 1 upon the
proposition that only through the remone-
tization of silver can the prices of farm
products be raised? The very admission
now made. that the high price of wheat
this year Is due to the short crop abroad,
gives away The whole silver case as ex-
pounded last year. The natural law of
supply and demand was then almost boot
ed at. The whole difficulty, 1t was urged,
was within the power of Congress to rem
edy. By opening the mints again to the
free coinage of silver at ratio of Is to l.,
prices of everything would go up with a
rush, and the farmer, the butcher, the ba-
ker, the candlestick-maker, and every
body, would prosper at once.
The farmer is better informed on this
subject today than he was then. And so
are other people. The silver men, there
fore, must present their case in some
other form. The price of wheat is no
longer available for them as an illustra-
ton: and the price of that crop next year
is not likely to be an important factor in
the vote at the Congress elections in No
vembar.

The Air Motors.

The compressed air motors are again be-
fore the Commissioners in such shape that
final action declaratory of their fitness or
unfitness for local use is soon to be ex-
pected- The authorities will doubtless con-
slider two questions: first, whether the mo-
tors have been demonstrated sufficiently
efficient in New York to warrant their
adoption there; second, whether the local
experiments and tests have demonstrated
that they are in all respects capable of
meeting actual service conditions here AS
to the New York side of the proposition
some doubt may be said to exist. Recently
1t was announced that the Metropolitan
Traction Company had decided to equip
one or two lines with this system and this
statement was noted and editorically dis
cussed by The Star. 1t has since been de-
clared that the decision has been recon-
sldered and that the underground electric
system will be used. Thus so far as infor-
nation goes the air motors. notwithstand-
ing the showing they have made there as
reported by the expert sent to New York
by the Commissioners. have not come to
the requirements of the final tests The
local tests have been so conducted as seem
ingly to satisfy the officer detailed for the
purpose, but it remains to be shown that
under actual service conditions over one
entire section of the lexington road, while
it has not even been tried on the Belt.
Last winter in New York much trouble was
experienced with the motors through
frozen valves. Thus far all the local tests
have been conducted during mild or hot
weather The underground electric system,
which must be used if the air motor Is not,
has passed beyond the experimental stage
and is a demonstrated success. Washing
ton has rot committed itself to unqualified
opposition to all air motors in the same
way in which 1t has declared war against
the overhead trolley. But before any such
motor is installed with the community S
consent upon any of the local lines, as an
alternative to the underground electric
Washington will insist upon assurance that
the very best form of air motor is proposed
for its use. and upon proof that this motor
can meet the severest requirements of ac-
sual service under existing local conditions.

More Daughters.

From the Chicago Post.
1t is gratifying to learn that Mrs. Will
liam Gerry Slade of New York has or
gained a society TO be known as 1.-The
Daughters of 17S1-1S15." We have been
worried for some time because there
seemed to be a few years at the beginning
of this century that could not boast OF
being the father of a single daughter, and
naturally they were lonesome. On either
side of them were years that had more
sens and daughters than one would sup
pose they could support. and yet there was
no one to say Papa" to single year be-
tween the close of the war of the revolu-
ton and the beginning of the war of 1872
Happily, thanks to Mrs. Slade, all this is
at an end. and we doubt II there Is now a
childless year in the history Of this coun-
try from 1892 to 1915.

And let us scan it over;

What we may not discover.
Perhaps it's sections may contain
Some interesting notes
On safe routes to the pole and how
The Keely motor notes.
Let's ask it if Alaskan gold
Is worth the journey thither,
And whether Tammany's campaign
Is poisoning but to wither.
Perhaps, with patience, we may find
Some occult phrases trying
To show why airships wisely planned
Do not succeed In flying.
These facts are doubtless hidden thefe,
By learned men neglected,
Along with lots of other things
Whose presence none suspected.
