geological and other testimony showing
how and why gold was deposited in polar

such vast deposits Of gold were found
in Alaska and other neighboring lands
Here is a book that tells how and why
this metal and others must be found IN
polar lands, both north and south. 1t

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-09-04

The talk in Richmond about the advan-
tage to the public OF sending successful
business men to the Legislature is senti-
mental and foolish TO degree. farauoA'-
cal as 1t may seem TO be- 1t Is never.ns-
less true as experience abundantly
proves. that the qualities which conduce
to individual success in business Ire mnu
fiat failure in a legislative career. me
lives OF our public men, with Out nc"
exceptions, show this. There never was
more dismal failure as businessman
and rarely n more brilliant success as an
orator and statesman, than PATRICK Hen-
ry-the very genius OF our feVoiutlon'
And so II runs through the lives OF nearly
all our public men. Almost withou. eA
ceptlon they were unsuccessful IN DUST
ness affairs.
Members OF the Legislature should be
selected not because they are successiui
men, and have earned much money pu'
primarily and finally because they pos
sess the peculiar qualities which NJ theii
for the high and noble work OF law
making. 1t is too true. as pointed out Dy
Governor Griggs, of New Jersey, and MT.
McRae, of this city, in addresses before
the American Bar Associatioh' tna'
under our system no regard Is pald 10
the special fitness for the work or the
men selected to make our laws. III they
stand well with certain influences, nave
strong pull, or train with the ring, they
need know nothing about the science OF
government, or the theory Of laws In
their relations to persons and things. Men
are sometimes sent to the Legislature pc
cause they are members of certain LABOR
organiza tions, when, in fact, they haven't
the ability 10 prepare bill in interest OF
the cause which they are supposed 10
represent and champion. Their nomina-
tions are accepted as compliments 10
their class. and that Is all there Is. in II,
for they neither servo their class nor the
public generally.
We frankly admit that we can suggest
no practical remedy for the evil

GERMANY AND FRANCE.

The assertion that the German Govern
ment will call upon France for an OK
PLANTATION OF NJ. Mciine's dispatch eA-
pressing the hope Of reunion pet"ee"
Alsace-Lorraine and the French repuphc'
and will demand satisfaction for tne OK
cesses committed before the German In
bassy in Paris on the evening OF Presi-
dent Faure's return from MS WISH u
Russia, may or may not be true. sui
whether II IL trua or not. the comments
of the German papers on the TWO Incl
dents represent a revival of German feei-
ing against France. such as has not been
in evidence for some time. Nor Is the
course Of the French papers and the
French people calculated to moiiiiy this
feeling. In their delirlum OF JOY over the
Franco Russian alliance. both are not
only, as cablegram puts 1t. distinctly
more resolute in their attitude towards
Germany than they were before the Car
uttered the magic word. but are even IN
clined to taunt the Germans.
We are not of those who believe that
young William longs for an opportunity
to Jump, booted and spurred. upon
France. Since he succeeded to power
he has on several occasions shown that
he would rather avoid than provoke
quarrel with his French neighbors. In
deed, we are told that even in the pres
ent instance the German Government
has displayed unusual consideration for
France. Berlin telegram says that
the anniversary of the battle of Sedan
was celebrated there with much less en-
thusiasm than common, the evident de-
sire being to divest the anniversary OF all
elements irritating to France.
But Emperor William and his govern
ment are not as strong as the German
nation. Should the nations blood be
stirred to the point of resenting Frances
taunts, no power of the Emperor could
prevent war. That is a factor of the
situation the French press and the French
people might do well 10 consider, espe-
ciaIly as they do not seem to know what
are the stipulations of the alliance that
has given them so much joy and excited
them to such imprudence Of utterance.
That it makes Russia an active ally of
France In case OF war between France
and Germany seems out Of the question.
