KLoNDYKE.

News is already reaching the
Pacific coast of disaster and trouble
TO the gold seekers who have fool
ishly rushed to that region with
out proper preparation. The close
of navigation is at hand, and
thousands of unfortunate adven-
turers are caught in the wilds of
attic Alaska, without means to car
ry them through the winter, the
sensational press OF the country,
which has had much to do with
spreading the Klondyke craze, is
filled with awful stories of what
will happen to the victims of what
will be remembered in the future
as the widest tenderfoot wild
goose chase ever INDUCED in by
people in all parts of the United
States. Pixies Peak was q basket
picnic compared with it; Leadville
a pleasant place for an easy out,
ing. Yet persons unused to pros,
pe,ting and tho great hardships Of
mountain and frontier life had not
the least business IN either dis,
trict at the times of their earliest
"booms." In the case of the fai
off Alaskan gold fields, the tender
foot has less excuse for going tothem
than in any other in mining his,
tory. The bardships, trial and
dangers up there, are things that
only the greatest vigor, hardihood
and experience may hope to sus
tain. Yet the rush of the tender
foot has kept up right along, and
now we shall have results.

ing from the New York Sun, the
most radical gold bug organ In the
United States;
Some persons seem to have per,
suaded themselves that the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of l6
to has ceased to be formidable
and will be abandoned by the
Democratic party. They see that
the country is prosperous; that
wheat is high and silver is low; and
they assume that the Democrats
will gradually cease to regard the
tree coinage of silver as the most
important political.economic ques-
ton.
In the Democratic newspapers
there is absolutely no justification
for such an assumption. No Dem.
ocratic statesman has said any
thing upon which such a boliei
could be founded. The Democratic
position in regard to silver has not
been altered in the slightest degree
by the improvement in business.
Those who think otherwise are
either the victims of their own
illusions or they have been deceiv'
ed by the paltering and insincere
course of certain Democratic lead
ers in Republican States.
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat

nor Stephens of Missouri which
expresses exactly the present feel.
ing of Dcmocrats, and comedies
with all expressions on the same
subject made by Democrats since
revival of business began, with the
exception that some Democrats, in
the first weeks of the revival, were
less convinced of the existence of
good times. Governor Stephens
says that ''the cities Of Missouri
have gone right ahead wonderful.
ly in advance Of other cities. We
haye no bank failures, money is
plentiful, and our people are very
hopeful and encouraged. At
present we are very full ofbusiness,
and you would hardly be able to
tell Democrat from Republican
until the next political fight"
When the next fight begins, how
ever, the distinction between a
Democrat and a Republican will
be what it was in 1896. The pros
perity which Governor Stephens
admits so heartily has not changed
his or any other Missouri Demo
Gratis financial views:
"The sentiment in Missouri is
distinctly in favor of silver, and no
power on earth could change it.
The Eastern feeling in the other
direction has no effect upon us
whatever. We are enthusiastic
for silver. We feel that this pros
perity is only temporary, and
while we hope that it will turn out
to be permanent, we cannot fail to
observe that it depends on the
crops. We are for free coinage
for principle, not for what money
we can make out of it. There will
be no opposition to Mr.. Bryan in
the West and South as matters
stand to-day"
Prosperity is making a good
many Democrats comfortable, but
it has not yet weakened their al
legiance to free silver.
