WOMEN GOING KLONDYKE.
Mrs. Hannis Gould; of Macon, Ga, Will
Lead Females to the Gold Fields.

Mrs. Hannis Gould; of Macon, Ga, Will
Lead Females to the Gold Fields.
Mrs. Hannis S. Gould, prominent
Georgia woman, will undertake next
spring to lead colony of one hundred
women in the Klondyke regions OF
Alaska.
1t seems that Mrs. Gould has not de-
termined, however, to take the women
to the Klondyke with view to making
a fortune by digging gold. She has
set out for the sole purpose of planting
a woman colony there, and it is her
plan to find employment for the women
as cooks, seamstresses, trained nurses
and housekeepers. Of course if any OF
them want to take up the pick and
shovel and go to digging gold, it is not
at all likely that Mrs. Gould will pre-
vent them from this work.

THE CRAZE FOR GOLD.
Rush to California and South Africa to be

Rush to California and South Africa to be
Eclipsed Next Year.
Consul Smith, at Victoria, B. c., in
a report to the state department, dis
cusses the subject of the Klondlke
fields. The advices received at Victo-
ria indicate that the rush in 1S49
to California, and later to South
Africa, will be eclipsed by the gold
seekers headed for the Yukon in the
early months of 1898.
Agents from England have been at
Victoria, making arrangements for
5000 or 1000 gold seekers. Mer-
chants there have secured great sup
plies of outfit goods, and the transpor-
tation companies have made arrange
ments sufficient to make daily lines
between that port and st. Michaels,
Dyea, Skaguay and Fort Wrangle.

Medical College Burned.

Friday the Tennessee Medical col

$25, 200, and was comparatively new.
The owners, who are physicians, claim
that the contents were worth $125, 900.

some claim to fitness; but to those who
are conversant with the character and
history of Gen. Grant it is difficult to
see how anything could be more unfit.
And indeed all of us remember that the
great commanders best command was
and still is, "Let us have peace" And
a moments reflection reminds us that
no one was more anxious than he to es.
tablish the permanent peace ofnot only
the American Union, butthe permanent
peace of the world. Furthermore it is
our truest pride in him, that no one of
this century, has done more in this di-
rection than he.
Reference to his numerous brief ad-
dresses made during his tour around
the world in 1877 makes this especially
conspicuous.
At Borne, Switzerland, he said, II
have long had a desire to visit the city
where the Alabama claims were settled
by arbitration, without the effusion of
blood, and where the principle of arbi-
tration was established, which 1 hope
will be resorted to by other nations
and be the means of continuing peace
to all mankind"
At Glasgow, Scotland, he said, 81 am
called a man of war, but | never was Il
man of war, Though 1 entered the
army at IN early age I got out of it
whenever / could do SO creditably. l
was always a man of peace and l shall
always continue of that mind"
At London he said, "Though a sol
der by education and profession l
have never felt any sort of fondness
for war; and l have never advocated it
except as a means of peace"
Can any candid person read these
sentiments of Gen. Grant, remember
ing how transformations he was, even
in military life, aud still presume that
he would feel honored or be pleased
with a great and glittering military pa
geant at the dedication of his monu-
ment which is his tomb?
There is only II answer to this
question and that answer makes plain
the only way to truly honor him upon
this occasion and that is 10y the most
imposing and significant peace display
that can be devised.
Let the army and navy, with the
old Grand Army, but without any
scAool-boy brigades, furnish a back
ground of war, for which Gen. Grant
had no sort of fondness," but set the
sweet faces of happy children with
flowers and peace banners in the fore
front of the parade, and by every
means possible, make the ceremony
aud display Il peace service instead of
Il Qualification of a
Not children with swords and guns,
but children with white flowers of
peace will truly honor true Amer
lean Prince of Peace and fittingly ded-
icate his monument.

Map of the Kootenai.

The most complete and artistic map
of the rich mining region of the Koo-
tenai and adjacent territory in Wash
ington and British Columbia, has lust
been published by the Northern Pacific
railway. 1t is just what is needed by
those going to that country or who de-
sire to study and know about it.
The map is made in relief, is 25N1S
inches in size between borders and has
in connection with ton the same
page-two smaller maps that show the
relation of the region to the world at
at large.
The principal drainage of the coun-
try is laid down in blue, the trails and
roads are shown, the railways plainly
indicated, the names of important
towns printed in large black letters,
and the topography is represented in
brown. As far as the ore deposits are
known they are indicated in a general
way by red lettering.
The country shown upon the map
includes particularly, the SLOGAN, Koo-
tenai lake, Cariboo creek, Deer Park,
Nelson, Salmon river. Trail or Rossland
and the Boundary creek regions. 1t
shows the Arrow lakes and the Lar
deau country and some portions of the
Okanogan region.
The map is compiled from reliable
and official data and shows the mining
district subdivisions and the eleva-
lions Of the mountains and lakes.
The opposite of the sheet contains
an accurate statement and decription
of the country, showing its discovery
and development to the present time.

Mt. Rainier, on the Pacific coast be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 feet high and
related The story of the ascent in
Sketches of Wonderland published in
1895. In 1895 he made q terrific climb
in the Bitter Root Range in Montana,
to hunt wild goats so that the sports
men of the land might know where to
go for such game. That a railroad
road company is ready to bear the
heavy expense of such trips and a nan

Mnnurncturers Against rnrim EN-.

One of the most striking indications
of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
ngninst the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association of the
United States. Mr.. y. r. Farquhar, an
extensive manufactures of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa, is at the head
of the movement.
1t is we'll known that in the manu-
fncture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
OF their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need nc
protection and are we'll able to take care
of themselves. All they ask is to have
untnxed raw material. so that they will
not be placed at disadvantage.
great list of other industries are
practically in the same position and ds-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers, in their petit
ton to the senate, declare chat their
ability to employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and crippling American enter
prise shall be broken down
The plea which has been used for
years by the protectionis!s-- nnmeir
that protection is in the interest of
American labor-is shown by census
figures to be sham. OF the 5000, 600
persons employed in manufacturing il

tition that less than goo 900 are EN-.

1t is very plain that the Dinglcy Lnl

New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some OF her biggest
Industries. especially that OF boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter of IL century of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts OF
the world. Taxed hides would cripple
this and other industries. Her leading
senators pretend to represent her and
to put up II fight for free hides. In real
ity, if necessary, they will sacrifice free
hides To obtain high duties on sugar
with plenty of margin for trust prof
its. just why this is so should be n
matter for senatorial investigation. if
such investigation would only invcsti-
cute. Fortunately for the sugar trust.
but unfortunately for the rest of us
70,o0O,OOO people, the sugar trust un-
dcrstands well the art of making friends:
where they will do the most good. 1t
has able attorneys to advise it how to
distribute it's sweets to politicians and
lawmakers and at the same time to
steer clear of jails.
In this way and in this way only can
we account for the attitude of not Il few
prominent tariff makers at Washing
ton. The situation Is intcrcsting-dc-
cidedly so.

Republican CrifIcIxn.

According to the protective theory the
imposition of tax on noncompcting
articles adds TO their cost 10 the cor
sumner. This theory would be aptly ex-
emplifed in the proposed duties ON
hides. as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. IT. is
estimated that the increased cts,t o:
boots and shoes for 6;:e year unJcr the
proposed duty would amount 10 S2G.-
100000. With free hides our manufac-
turers of leather goods have been able
to build up great export trade in foot
