We paid q, 200. 900 for tho rugged terri
tory OF Alaska.
And today we read of fellows coming
down from the snow fringed hills bring
ing sacks of gold that they have been
taking out at the rate of $1,000 day
Alaska long ago more than paid for
itself Today IL promises to add to tho
richness of the nation beyond any other
of our possessions.
The discovery of gold in California i'm
40 contributed vastly to civilization and
the comfort of mankind. Australia was
a good second in 1851. The wealth OF
India grabbed by Britain was also
factor. In recent years the South African
mines have kept the yellow tide at the
flood.
And now comes Alaska. IL half it's
promise proves true there is to be no
lack Of gold for tho use of tho world for
years To come Nature ia proving prolific.
indeed, TO supply the demands of civiliza-
tion In this respect.
And this country, which recently went
through the struggle of a grotesque con-
test over ''oheap money" is again TO
supply the world with the true, the solid,
the substantial yellow metal that rings
the same all over the world AS 1t did
In 40.
The prospect is that we Americans are
entering upon an unexampled era of pros
pcrity.

OUR 1RiDs wIrH HA wAII.

Commercial relations between tho
United States and the Hawaiian Islands
practically began with tho reciprocity
treaty OF 1876 Up 60 thao time, the busi-
ness done between the pig Republic and
tho barbnric kingdom amounted TO less
than two millions.
Hawaii has grown sinoe tben in every
way of civiliz alton and wealth and with
its reciprocal relations with the United
States it's trade has grown, too, so that
the business between the two nations
now amounts to more than twenty
millions and half annually. This rep
resents indeed more than 81 per cont of
the total trade OF the Islands.
AS a matter OF fact, the little Republic
has rather the best of the bargain with
its big cousin, according To recent
department report on our Hawaiian
commerce, for she has sold us about four
times as much as we sell her. In fact
the United States buys ont practically
the whole production Of Hawaii every
year while they sell her comparatively
little. However, Hawaii is growing and
we sell her more and more every yoar
and last year she bought more than
s5, 600. 600 of goods from us.
On the whole, Hawaii is very good
customer as we'll as highly successful
producer of things that we need in this
country. With annexation she will
become one of the great body of states
and territories that enjoy unlimited free
trade between one another-the freest
trade over the widest area that exists
anywhere in the world.
The advantage Will DO mutual as it is
today between the existing states and
territories enjoying Unrestricted COM
mercial relation under the bond of the
United States of America.

BICYCLE SUNDAY.

The minister may take vacation but
tho bicycle goes on forever.
Yesterday was beautiful Sabbath day
and was vastly enjoyed by thousands of
bicyclers Perhaps with the summer
SESSION, they feel more than ordinarily free

abandon the wheel and go to church
when so many of the good people who do
not wheel are down the river or sitting
in lightsome garments on their piazza

sermon short, is not disposed Ito make
any comment on the small size of the
congregation and, even, has in his head

On the whole, we guess that an armistice
will be declared for the summer season,
In the warfare between the church and

END OF THE CONFERENCE.

The tariff conference Is ended and by
the end of the week the compromise bill
will almost surely become law of the
United States.
The House wins on the sugar schedule,
the Senate coDforoes yielded to the rate
of one-eighth difforental on refined
sugar and also reoeding from the provis-
ion for discount on jaggery ana other
low grade sugars As we suspected, tho
controversy over this matter was nothing
like as serious or prolonged as the Mug
wump press has been all along telling
its readers.
The report must. OF course, bo acted
upon by the House before it is considered
In the Senate. The committee on rules
will meet today and prepare u rule which
will bring vote on the report before ad-
journment on Tuesday. The rule will be
presented and adopted as soon as the con-
ferees mako their report, probably soon
after noon today. The oebate witt imme-
diately follow.
Iho program in the Senate is much more
indefinite on account of the wide latitude
allowed for debate, and the absence of any
parliamentary method of bringing the
report TO a vote. But no ono imaginos
seriously that the report is In any danger
in the Senate when IL comes to a final
vote.
1t is believed a vote will bo reached
within three days in the Senate.
