IT has been apparent for some timt
 that the Democrats were determined tt
 force the Cuban issue to the front fol
 campaign purposes. Ir the Senate
 during the session just closed, the Dsm ocrets voted almost solldly for She edop
 tiou of the resolution recognizing the
 belIigersncy of Cube, and ID the House no opportunity has been lost to em phssizs the silence of that body. Only 8 few days ago Representative McMil- Han endsavorsd to have the rules sus pended end the Cuban resolution passed, an effort which YVES frustrated by Mr. Reed. ME. Bailey, the minor ity leader on tbe floor, has repeatedly scored the Rspu blicens for their policy of non cotton. Is is well known, of course, that if the House could have ned it's own way the Cuban resolution would have passed in 8 hurry. It wss pigeon -boled by Speaker Reed, but from ! Democratic point of view she Republi- ,sn House collectively, and not MT. Rsed individually, will have to bear the blame of doing nothing.

TEE discovery of the immense de- posits of gold in Alaska are liable to have greater value to civilization than it's mere monetary consideration, great doubt, the thorough settlement of the frozen north, the pushing of lines of transportation far toward Behrine straight, lines that will ultimately reach that perrow strip of water over which commerce will pass to Asia with litble delay, not as much as now occurs in crossing She Straits of Dover, between England and France. The great in centive to the settlement and develop neut of the Pacific Coast, in the United States, was the gold discovery of Cali fsrnis, snd, behold, what fifty years have done towards that develop ment, making that section of the country the weElthiest, most favored country on tha globe Again that same great iuduoemsnt to enterprise, gold, has shown itself in Alaska, and another great region of oouatry presents itself in most strik- ing msnaer, demanding that the re souTcess 1t possesses shall be given to the world and they are more and greater than the mere beds of gold tn at form the estracsion sad that will draw hundreds of thousands of hardy adventurers into those fields Of enterprise.

THE following from an old miner just returned from the Alaskan gold fields presents another feature of the hunt for gold on the Klondyke ard other mining regions, ard it might be confessed rsth- ST diEoonreg ng one but doubtless too true. His story is ss follows:
 GREAT FALLS, Mont, July 22.-Frank Mons, en old timeR in this section, who four years ago was one of party of Americans to frst visis the Kiondyke country, returned today and tells story of horrors and stervatiou. He dssoribes the Ki0ndyke 6s placer camp, seven miles long aud thirteen miles wide, To- cated ia 8 sink. walled in by bonlders of of rock 5000 fees high. Gold, he says, abounds, but no ordinsry man can stand hardships of the unvisited region. A large majority are dying from sterva- tion. The steamship compan es bring in all the food and allow no private companies to do so. Consequently it is common to go for weeks with but eceut supply, and for days they were without food. The gold brought in the last week to Ssastle, Moss says, does not represent she findings of individual shippers, but large portion of It was coEfscsted from the effects of the 2O00 miners who fell prey to the haFdships At the death of 8 man possessed of dust, bis body is buried with a coffin and the duss divided among those who cared for him.

It was not in- tended that those instructions should be made public, out they were obtained by wids-awsks newspaper man and printed. The publication hes made She English editors very mad et ths United States, and their old occupation of abusing Americans, which wss sus pended while the arbitration treaty was pending, has been resumed; but it is worthy of notice that no attempt has been made to controvert the truthful ness of Secretary Sherman'e srraign- nent of Lord Salisbury.

So FAR as the Govern ment is concern ed the price hereafter paid for armor plate will be $500 per ton. Both Houses of Congress have definitely decided the question. It was shown clearly by the House Committee OF Naval Affairs that armoT plate could be mads ct S25O per ton. but notwithstanding this the armor plate trust refused to furnish any armor plste st less than S425 per ton
 This amount Congress hes refused to pay, and has placed the maximum plice at $500 per ton. There is 8 clause ir the bill providing for the establishment of a Government ermoR plant if the private copceFns do not agree to furnish the plate e6 the price stated. The &C., tion of the armor plate trust was severely criticised by Senators Butler and TiilmRn during the debate on the pFioe of erno1 plate, Senator Butler de- clsring that the bsttleship Oregon, which was to be sent to Hawaii in the event of trouble with Japan over those islands was covered with spongy, de- fective and fraudlens plates. ''It would bs fortunate indeed" said Mir. Butler, "if the first hostile shot fred at her did rot strike oue of these defective plstee, if, indeed there are any good ones on her." If the trust does not reduce it's bids the Government will establish an srmoF plant which will surprise ehe world by the superior quality Of it's pso- ducts, ss has the Government naval factory at Washington.

THE tariff bill, as it now stands, is not perfect-nothine of human construc-
 tion is-bub it is good bill, snd will be
 endorsed by all who believe in pro
 tective tariff, and will sdd to the be- lievers in protection. It will enable
 many thousand Americans to get the profitable employment they have been
 without for four years, and will, at the same time, produce all the revenue needed to run the government. No one man deserves more credit foR this bill than Chairman Dingley, whose name the bill beRre. Since last December be has worked early and late on the meas ure, and if the Ding!ey tariff proves ee popular ss it's supporters expect, who knows but it's author may, in the course of time, be ss highly!rewsrded ss was the author of the Mckinley tariff.
