A LAKE OF PETROLEUM.
An Alaskan Find Richer than the
KiOndyke.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Aug. g
While the whole world Is excited over
the gold discoveries 10 the North, sight
has been lost OF another discovery that
promises 10 be Of great value in the
development Of that section. Some
months ago lake OF almost pure per
troleum was discovered. and samples
were sent TO Seattle for analysis. The
assayer's report on these has Just been
made public, and the find is reported
to be OF incalculable richness.
A company has been formed in Seat
tie to handle the product, and travellers
from there say that the company in
tends TO put it on the Alaskan market
at once. The lake il OF unknown depth,
several miles wide and five TO six miles
in length, and the quality Of the petro-
leum il said TO be the finest. IL ID fed
by springs, and the hill surrounding II
are said to be rich in coal and asphalt.
The lake is only two miles from tht
ocean, 80 that the difficulties Of trans
portation are reduced to minimum
1t ii the expectation OF the owners q
the lake to take its product into tht
mining camps of Northern Alaska
wherever the waterways will permit.

IT is is easier to float with the cur
rent than to stem 1t; easier to run with
the wind than against 1t; easier TO drift
with the crowd than to make headway
against it, and most men love ease.
There is more of gain in catering TO
the cause that Is momentarily popular,
there is financial and other serious loss
in opposing it. and most men love gain
and dread loss. The penny before the
eye hides the dollar behind, and 80
generally do men see only the penny,
that their myopia has been expressed
in the proverb of penny wise and
pound foolish" Policy is the penny,
principle the pound, and most men
grasp the one and miss the other. Pol
icy is shortsighted; principle takes the
centuries in its range of vision. He
who takes policy for his guide floats
with the changing currents, runs with
the shifting winds, drifts with the vac
ilIating crowd. He who charts his
course by principle stems the current
when it is adverse. beats against the
winds when ahead, and breasts the
crowd that is chasing the rain bow o.
policy.

TWO INcIDENTs Of exceptional ID.

Two INCIDENTS OF exceptional In
terest to Americans are reported from
London this week. ON Tuesday, Lord
George Hamilton, Secretary u State
for India, was asked 10 the House Of
Commons why the East Indian railway,
owned by the government, had puT-
chased T,708 tons u rails from the
Maryland Steel Company Of Baltimore.
He, In reply, made the statement,
which must have been received By his
auditors with establishment, that the
lowest British bid was es,675 Agher
than the American tender. On the
same day that this incident was re-
ported over the cable, came the an
nouncement thar English firms are
very indignant that the contracts for
the traction plant Of the London Cen
trail railway, which Is 70 be an under.
ground electric line, have been given
TO Americans. The contracts amount
in value, IL Is said, to hundreds 81
thousands Of pounds.
The secretary Of the company has
felt called upon % explain that the con
tracts for carriages, locomotives and
machinery were given 20 American
firms on the advice Of electrical ex
perts, who represent that the greater
use Of electrical traction machinery II
the United states has brought its man
ufacture 70 higher degree 81 perfect
ion and made II far less expensive thar
in England. These are facts Of q kin,
which seem 70 render comment unnec
essary. They deserve TO be given
place Of prominence in the record o
current events as illustrations Of wha
Is possible To American skill and re
sources. --Bradstreets.

An EXISTING Problem.

In an exeellently written article on
f.How 20 Increase National Wealth by
.the Employment of Paralyzed Industry
B. o. Flower, the former editor OF the
Arena, takes strong ground IN that
magazene in favor of the government
giving work to the unemployed. He pro-
poses that the idle be employed on use
fnl public works, thus solving very
perplexing problem and at the same
time benefting the entire country.
The man who 40 years ago would have
suggested that the government in
free country like this should extend
paternal hand TO its own citizens would
have been hooted down as crank of
the first order. The same class OF men
who to-day would gladly embrace such |
an opportunity to earn their bread |
would then have resented the sugges-
ton as an insult to their manhood and
independence. In country where the
avenues for advancement are open to
all alike none asked aught of the gov
eminent but the protection to which
he was entitled and the liberty of pur-
suing his own chosen pathway to sue
cess.
Conditions have changed since then
and what might once have been an i'm
putation would now be regarded as a
favor In country OF fabulous wealth
and limitless resources millions are beg
ging the opportunity to earn liveli-
hood and begging in vain. Some of this
may be due to the unrestricted immi-
grafton of the past quarter Of century
or more; if so, it has only been con-
tributory cause. The real cause prob
ably lies in the ever growing selfishness
and the governing passion of the times.
However that may be, the condition is
present and as man shows no diEposi-
ton 70 meet it the government should.
As TO how the government might meet
it Mr.. Flowers offers some suggestions
worth studying. One is the building Of
irrigation systems for the reclamation
of the arid lands of the west. With /
national treasury in no condition y
stand such an expense as would be en-
tailed by the works, the author suggest
an issue of bonds to be redeemed as tn
now useless land, thus made fruitful
shall be sold.
The people have heard so much {
bond issues within the past few year
that even writer of the ability an
standing of Mr.. Flower might be e,
pected TO shrink from such an unpopl
lar suggestion. But he doesn't, and /
is right. A bond issue enforced upt
the government through the active co
nivance of complacent treasury al
for the benefit Of a privileged and por
erful class and bond issue voluntari
assumed for the relief OF the more n
merous but less influential masses, a
different propositions entirely. In 0
the government has been a consta
loser; in the other it would be a 81
gamer, as would these it was meant
benefit and the states in which the i
proyements were carried on.-Bu
Miner.
