ATHEISM'S KING.

1t has of late become the proper thing
when man manifests strong peculiari-
ties of any sort TO attribute such idiosyn-
crases to species of insanity This
popular tendency has crystalized itself
into our well-known slang epithet
Crank" Like many other common
fallacies, such u verdict of man Is re.
ceived by the world at large without cues
ton, and in this way the grossest nc raj
obliquities of many men are CLOSED over
and condoned by a too generous public.
The recent attempt of Chicago minis
tiers to place that arch blasphemer, Col.
Ingersoll, in such category, may be
dictated by wonderously rare Chris
tian charity, but we do not believe that in
this instance the general public will coin
eide with such a view of his charac-
ter. For years Col. Ingersoll has stood
for all that is worst in atheism and iufi-
deity. All the powers of n wonderfully
gifted intellect have been bent to the one
effort of pulling down the Christian relig-
ion. and of holding up to ridicule all that
we have ssbeen taught to reverence and
hold most sacred. But to bring forward
this same malignant hatred of all that is
truest and best in life, as proof of his
insanity, is itself, as DR. Talmage has
said, the Every acme IF insanity"
To attempt to excuse the blasphemous
utterances of such a man on the plea of
moral dementia and spiritual insanity is
10 obliterate all moral responsibility on
the part of every modern free thinker and
German nationalist. Hegel, Kant, Vol
taire and Leibnitz, were the master
minds of their generation, but M one on
this account would dream of character
izing them as "moral idiots" mental
giants in all else save in the higher realm
of worship and duty to their God No,
1ngersoll's blasphemies are neither the
senseless chickering's of an idiot, nor the
"mouthings of Il mad man." but sim ply
the intensified hatred of n depraved char
acter, who is using the God-like gift of
his eloquence primarily for the pur pose
of giving vent to his enmity of all things
pure and holy, ana secondarily for the
purposes of moneymaking. II is in this
ligh. he is held to-day by the Christian
world, and no misplaced clerical lenency
will cause him to be viewed in any other.

That the first glitter of the klondike

questionable; and with the coming of

never be known, and that this will check
the present tue of immigration is almost

KLONDIKE INSANITY.

For many III ontha the eyes and minds
OF the civilized world ha ce been turned to
the glittering attractions of the Klondike
regions, the fabulous wealth of which has
been exploited through tie columns of
our daily papers. But rs additional ac-
counts have come to us and now that the
world has had time to quiet down n little
fl ON the fever occasioned by the first an
nouncements of the wonderful discoy.
cries, it has become pretty certain that
the value of the diggings has leen over
estimated, and the excitement of LAST
summer and fall was unwarranted.
The fren1ied rush 10 these regions bas
already ever populated them, and the
number and size Of claims that have been
staked affords but little chance for new
corners to these fields o find gravel that
will pay for the working. Already the
overcrowding has had the effect of reduc
ing very greatly the prices of common
labor, and any addition to the present
population would be to Iring il down to
the mere cost of living. Ten or fifteen
dollars per day may seem enormous
wages to the man who is accustomed to
receive but one or two for his daily wage;
but when he reflects that out of this he
must pay as high as $40 per sack for
flour, and for other things proportion
ately, the inducements begin to dwindle
away.
The knowledge of the existence of
gold in the Klondke basin is by 10 means
a new thing, but the rigor of the climate,
the harrenness of the soil and The difficult
ties in the way of getting there, have
until the past few months served to deter
any, save few prospectors, from attempt
ing the task. TO work gravel at IL cost
of 50 per cubic yard, il must yield big re-
suits in order to pay for the cost of labor.
All sorts Of wild estimates of this years
probable yield Of gold from these regions
have been made, ranging from $6,000,000
to $40, 00C 600, but such estimates have
been gradually dwindliDg until any cal
culation that will put it beyond the
SO, 100000 mark is considered non con.
sentative.
The sane efforts put forth in the in
comparably superior states, climatically,
of California or Colorado, would.yield bet
ter returns. Possibly the inflated ac-
counts of rich finds, the glowing descrip-
tions of parties and com panies interested
in booming these lands, will for n time
continue to lure those in search of for
tune, into these inhospitable and frozen
wilds, but very soon the reaction must
set in and the Klondike country become
one more depository for the blasted hopes
and unrequited toll of such MS are willing
to undergo any amount of hardship for
the sake of obtaining the precious treas.
ure.
The ingenuity of the mind has been
strained in its fantastic suggestions OF
means Of reach these PARKWAY gold fields.
