The Mount Morgan, Australia, is the greatest gold mine in the world. It was bought about twelve years ago for 3115$, and since then 75,OOO,OOO$ has been re- fused for the mine and works. The most recent report of the company, to hand for the calendar year 1896, states that the second, third and fourth sections of the new reduction works, which will be capable of treating 100000 tons of low grade ore per annum, will be con pleted in January, 1898 A plant for treating the mundic ore is being designed, and it will be able to treat ore yielding 7 dWt. to the ton at a profit The report says that since the opening of the new reduction works large bodies of hitherto unpayable ores had been able to be treated profitabv. The removal of this ore has revealed the existence of lm mense bodies of payable ore The re port of the superintendent of treatment showed that the quality of gold rock treated was 105 PA tons for 159, 9,O46 - M I& s Press.

Eastern papers are using the silly argument that a man who voted for w. J Bryan and free sil- yer last fall recently took a silver dollar and beat it with a sledge hammer into unreconizable shape and then took it to broker who gave him thirty-three cents for it.. This, they argue, shows the fallacy of free coinage of silver. They claim that the silver should 6 worth as much in its bullion as in coined dollar. From th1s we would infer that diamond, worth 1000$, could be ground to in palpable powder and still retain it's value: or a fine chronometer watch could have a pile driver fall on it and bring as much in the market as before having its works disar- ranged. It gives a person that tired feeling to read the effusions of the pumpkin rolling editors of the east, anyway, They know all about silos, incubators, gold bricks, country roads and kindred sub jects, but preserve us from their financial views.

Sbs Blight of SeIfiehqsss.

Individual sel6shness is the frost that kills the roots and blights the blossoms of friendship. Organized selfishness is the bane of society. Friendship is the condition of civilization. Barbarism is
 based upon self love. In refecting upon the dark sea of sefishness that has sur rounded mankind. we perceive that no llne is long enough to measure the depth of it's cruelty.
 History resounds with clanking chains and dying groans Force has ruled the world with an iron hand. From the re.
 notest to the most recent events in his tory, the really shocking incidents and spectacles have not been seen where pes tilence, or flood, earthquake or famine came, but where mau made war upon man; not alone with sword, but with every available instrument and agency ot oppression, persecution and destruc- ton. Man has been a worse foe to man than have all the beasts ot the forests and all the storms, famines and plaques Tn nature.
 Selishness is the freezing point Tn the temperature of society and government Embodying and expressing the very es- sence of injustice, selfshness is but an- other name for unrighteousness. Ego tism is a great anti Christ in religion, and the equally formidable anarchist in government. It is the usurper of all rights and the disturber of all order Emerson said: "SeIfshness is the root and source of all natural and moral evils There is nothing more malignant and destructive in it's nature and influence" It's injur,ous influence pervades all spheres of hnman life-social, civil and religious.
 Se6shness absorbs, but friendship diff fuses. It is the weakness of man to con- slider himself first in those matters in which others should be first considered Too frequently the agent of an estate, by some strange metamorphosis, not men, tioned in Ovid, becomes the sole owner The same applies to politics and govern ments. Caesar sat out as great Roman Republican, the hater of crowns and the lover of the people. But, says the play, | "Was the crown offered him thrice | Aye, marry vast, and he put it by | thrice, each time gentler than the other" Napoleon began as the destroyer of crowns, but out of the gold and jewels of those he destroyed he wove the diadem of his own imperial despotism. Such has been the history of human selfish ness through all the ages. Men every where have played the role of Caesar and Napoleon on a small scale, ana in their own spheres.
 This is not the ideal of humanity. The relation between man and man is called society; between man and country is called patriotism, and fraternity is the basis of both. Our charity should be as broad as the earth, and our mutual for bearance and forgiveness should be as extensive as are the mistakes and mys- terles of human life. Mutual helpfulness is the law of society, and civilization means bro:herhood.-Exc

MILITARY RULB IN ALASKA.
\ Large District to Be So Controlled

Chicago, Oct. 20.-A special from
Washington says: President Mckinley
will issue an order placing a large dis
trict in Alaska, OF which st. Michael will
be the center, under the control Of the

this action the authorities believe that
the lawiessness feared as a result o. the
rush of the goldseekers to the great
northwest territory will be suppressed.
The proposed military district will be
about 100 miles square.
The determination to issue the order
was arrived at, it is said. at a cabinet
meeting. While no official reports OF
anything but a peaceful condition have
reached the department., private com
municatinns from responsible parties
have convinced the authorities that
something more was necessary than ci-
