The Union Pacific Steal.

No paeans are being chanted by the Nc
Hanna press over the Union Pacific sale. Even
the dullest inhabitant who has given the affair
auv attention know that there is something yell
low about it.
The bargain can not be figured out an advar-
tage to the government. True, the favored syn

the purchase. And by all appearances it has
merely transferred its profit from theUnion Pa
c6c sale to the Kansas Pacific sale.
Two fatal missteps have been taken by the
administrations One was in separting the prop
erty. BY divorcing the Kansas Pacific from
the Union Pacific the government has been
brickei out of a secure position. For the Kan
sas Pacific is worth much more to the Union Pa
ci6c than any other road. Those who control
the Kansas Pacific are dependent upon the Uu-
ion Pacific But the controllers of the Union
Pacific can get along easily without the Kansas
branch. Consequently they will be able to buy
il at great bargain. Even Attorney General
McKenna admits that the government may lose
81 900 900. 1t may lose much more.
This show, the trickery of the pretended
nurchase of the Union Pacific lien at its face
value. It mattered nothing to the syndicate if
it paid more on one piece and took it out Of its
paymeut for the other piece.
The great error was in not postponing the
sale to December IS. Other syndicates would
have made propositions. At least, one was or
eanized in this country, while another IN Eng
land asked only for short time to prove its
guarantees were gool. Either would have
raised the bid of the fvored syndicate. The
latter showed it would give more if necessary.
But the administration c,n. to its rescue, cut
the property in two, and made the syndicate

MCKINLEY AT THE GRAVE OF JOHN
BROWN.
Success stood at the grave of failure;
He whom monarchs smiled on and the kings of
wealth approved
Stood by the low mound above the hero's bones
And paused awhile to muse on days gone by.
Perchance the sound of battles heard from far,
The steady march of files Of wearysmen
That followed where that marching soul had led,
Came back to him whom wealth had crown
ed with gold.
Perchance some spark from out the silent dust
Illumed the secret chambers of his heart,
Or cen that voice which led the border men,
Came back from Heavens heights in stern ap-
peal.
"Men call thee great and in thy hand now
weighs
The unseen scepter of nations power.
Men hailed thy words with hope and raised thee
up,
TO bring, to stinted lives, the sure release.
"They chose thee out, the Unions best loved
son,
They called by millions for thy lead; and, stay,
They trusted, followed, sacrificed and toiled,
They ask for bread, what give ye them to-day?
"For british bondmen, scarce with soul or
sense,
| left the wife loved, the child most DEAR
l ploughed my fields with lead; l reaped with
steel
And garnered into graves my stalwart sons.
"No power had, no office, gold or place;
| trusted God and made my rifle sure,
And climbed the scahold stair still unafraid-
NV duty done my faith in God secure.
"To-day the voices of a worthier race;
Thy blood, thy comrades, they whose speech
ye know,
Call to thee from the homes by mine and mill,
TO bind the Pharaoh and set labor free.
"And what art thou, whose name is raised so
high,
You whom men followed iu the cannon's roar?
Was all thy courage but for younger days!
Wilt thou unheedng, strive for Right no more?
"Have secret compacts made thee but form?
Art thou ruler but in place and name?
Have golden fingers plucked the soldiers wreath,
And left the lackey's motley coat Instead?
ooh, Man, if ever worthy noble deeds;
Oh, Soldier, if thy soul is fit for sword,
IL ~s>l t1 t1nA
Forget thy fears be true American.
"Thy people trusted who are now oppressed,
Men wander beggars for chance to toll,
Crime stahs abroad and crowning shame OF
shames,
Our legislation waits the foreign nod
"Our flag dishonored by its poor why cry,
Our honor bartered while its praise is sung;
Now is thy hour of trial, test of worth;
DEFY the spoiler, rule, or die man."
Then, said Success within his secret soul,
Thy voice disturbs me and my word is passed.
We have laid taxes, it was all planned.
Soul, take thine ease until another day.

Good Effects of the New
Tariff Law Felt
Already.
LouiSiana'S Sugar Planters
Rejoicing Over Their
Prospects.
Heavy Orders Placed for Improved
Machinery, Mules, Wagons
and Plows.

| NEW ORLEANS, La, July 25.-The
new tariff law is the most favorable to
Louisiana of any ever adopted, and it is
conceded that it will give great impetus
| to all the chief industries of the State.
| On this point there is no difference of
| opinion. Even the most extreme free
traders admit that the tariff bill will help
| Louisiana's chief industries, particularly
sugar, rice and lum Der, however it may
operate elsewhere.
The passage of the bill will give great
| impetus to agriculture and trade. Busi-
| ness has been unusually dull in Louisiana
| throughout the summer, due to the high
| water and the uncertainty about the tar
iff. Farmers held back spring orders un-
til they felt sure there would be no over
flow, and consequently the summer trade
of New Orleans has been very poor this
year. In the last few weeks, however
there has been a marked improvement
Sugar planters, feeling sure of the pas
sage of some bill that would increase the
duty on sugar, began putting in orders
for machinery and agricultural imple-
ments, and, as the sugar schedule encour-
ages the production of high-grade sugar,
they will use heavier, improved machin-
cry.
Orders placed with New Orleans foun-
dries will aggregate So. 0O0 900 TO S., 600, 900.
There have also been heavy orders for
mules, wagons and plows, which have
stim ulated these several lines Of business.
Louisiana will raise $50, 600, 600 pounds
of sugar this year; so the sugar section of
the tariff bill is worth SIG, 600, 600 in in
creased duty on sugar and molasses. A
largo part of this goes not only to the
planters and raisers, but to railroads,
foundries, machine men and coopers, and
makes itself felt in many ways.
The full benefit of the new law will not
be felt until October, when the sugar crop
comes in. For the first time since early
spring bank clearances show an improve
ment over the corresponding period of

Mr.. Brownie yesterday received a letter
from his brother at Dawson, who has been
in the Yukon country for four years. He
says he has just refused $50 600 for his
claim, and saws that on the day he wrote
he was baking bread. After properly
kneading the dough he turned around to
grease his bread pans. and when he again
touched the dough it was frozen stiff.

think great many people are making a
mistake in their clothing outfit. One
should take as little as possible, as he will
need all his strength to carry the neces-
sary provisions and himself over the
''divide." What he needs are skins ana
furs. and they can generally be bought to
much better advantage In Juneau than
anywhere else. When you are out in the
snow and ice woolens and blankets will
do you little good. A man should live as
much like the Indians as possible. The
best protection against the cold is bag
made of skin, thoroughly oiled, large
enough to hold man.
"a man can get into such a bag and
draw it tightly about his neck, having his
head covered with furs, and he can pass a
fairly comfortable night half buried IN
the snow. With all that is said against it
| would much rather make the trip over
the ''divide" than the long. tedious one
by way of st. Michaels. In my opinion
there is only one really dangerous place
in the whole trip and that is at White
Horse rapids. That Is an extremely dan
gerous place, but l believe there is trail
around them now, so that this part of the
journey can be made on foot OF the
other rapids Five Finger and Rink rapids
are perhaps the most dangerous, but they
are not bad. The Indians shoot them
right along and think nothing of it. l

who are well supplied with money. A

DALLAS. TEX, July 25.-A human

OF Dallas. Nothing could be found about
the tattered clothing. cut to shreds by the
wheels of a dozen trains, to identify him.
All found in the pockets were cents and
pistol. A bullet-hole in the head made
clear that he had been murdered and the
body placed OH the track. The fragments
were dumped into a box and buried to-
night.
The officers learned that about o'clock
last night men wearing such clothing as

stacles Between Juneau
and Klondyke.

Some of the difficulties and perils which
must be met and overcome on the trip to
Dawson from Juneau by way of the "di-
vide" were told yesterday by James
Brownie, who recently returned from
Alaska. He made the trip overland from
Juneau, and came out by way OF the river
and st. Michaels
Said Mr.. Brownlie: ut took us ninety
six days to make the trip from San Fran
cisco to Sixty Mile, but twenty-six DAYS
of that time we were stuck in the ice on
Takiu River, so that had it not been for
that delay we should have made the Jour
ney in little over two months. Our
party going in consisted of my brother,
myself and friend of ours. Everything
went well with US after leaving Juneau,
and we soon reached Sheep Camp. Their e
we found party who had been at that
place for nearly a month waiting for a
chance 10 get over the summit. There are
no great difficulties to be encountered in
going through Chilcoot Pass provided one
makes the trip at the right season of the
year.
81 lave seen so much in The papers of
late of the terrible hardships which
must be endured IN going through
that pass that l am afraid | will
not be believed by the public when
l say that to 90 over ChiIcoot pass
at the proper time is attended by no more
danger than a trip up Mount Tamalpais.
1t IS true that IN the winter time it is al
most impossible. No one ever attem pts
it then. Even the Indians refuse to try it
and the only ones l ever heard OF going
through are the mail-carriers, and several
years ago two of them were lost. They
were probably overcome by the driving
snow on the summit and frozen to death.
No one ever heard of either of them after
ward; but in the springtime. after the
winter storms have abated and the snow
has ceased to fall and has become hard,
a trip over the summit is nothing. By
leaving Sheep Camp early in the morn
1ng-5 or o'clock-with the weather IN
your favor, the summit ought to be
reached by noon and ;he head of Lake
Lindeman by night. 1t is but single day S
Journey, and not particularly hard one
at that. Many women and children have
gone over that route and never heard OF
an accident except the one just mentioned.
''The idea seems 10 be prevalent that
you must build your boat as soon as you
get over the divide, either at Lake
