WHAT striking resem blance there
is between 1896 and 1897 and the years
of our Lord 1878 and 1879! In 1878 the
air was resonant with denunciations
of the wicked men who would not is
sue all the green backs which suffer
ing people demanded. John Sherman
was denounced on all hands, Samuel
j. Tilden declared that only vast
central reservoir of coin could protect
us against the failure of the proposed
return to specie payments in 1879. The
farmer was at his worst, ruined, de-
stroyed, eaten up by taxes and usury.
Down almost to the very day of re-
sumption the croaking came with dis

thronged the Sub-Treasury corridors.

The Deadly Gold Fever

Whatever may in other respects be
thought of the heavy royalty imposed by
the Dominion government upo gold min
ing in the northwest territory, in one re-
spect it must be welcomed as a good
thing. That is, in that it may discourage
many from going to the Clondyke. AL
most anything that does that is to that
extent to be commended.
For Gods sake" telegraphs an
Alaskan expert, "stop the mad onrush of
'tenderfeet' to 1.-The Clondyke country.

'and gaunt want will beget murder during

warn people away"
That is to exactly the same effect as
what The Tribune has already said. The
strong, it's warning not too earnest. 1t is
the simple truth that every man who
goes to Klondyke without the amplest
preparation incurs the gravest peril of
death. The probability is that a. large
proportion of those now fastening thither
will never return alive. With winter will
come famine, and before the Embossed pas
sions of starving men struggling for ex-
istence the rights of those who have sup
plies Of fOOd will be but a slight barrier.

The mass Of legislation or attempts at
legislation, says Mr.. Godkin in his article
upon The Decline Of Legislatures in the
July Atlantic, is something startling. I
nave been unable to obtain records of the
acts and resolutions of all the states the
same year. I am obliged to take those of
Arkansas for the year 1893, four other
states for 1894. ten for 1896, and the rest
for 1895. But I have taken only one year
for each state. The total of such acts and
resolutions is Is. 100, and this Is for a pop
in 1856 passed 457 acts and resolutions.
really not very surprising when we con-
slider the number Of the legislators. There
are no less than AL national legislators.
and 6,57S state legislators, in all 7,025, ex-
elusive of county. city, and all other local
authorities capable of passing rules or Or
dinances. At Thu ratio of legislators to
population. 1000 at least ould be engaged
on the laws of Great Britain, without any
provision for India and the colonies, $500
on those Of rance about 5000 on those of
Germany, and 5000 on those of Italy. 1t
Will be easily seen what draft this is on
the small amount of legislative capacity
which every community contains. Nothing
like it has ever been seen in the history OF
the world. There is no country which has
yet shown itself capable Of producing
more than small frst-class Legislative
assembly. We undertake to keep going
forty-fve for the state alone, besides
those for Territories. All these assem-.
blies, too. have to do with interests Of the
highest order.

scale the very throne of Louis Philippe
