CD. Having come through long
period OF agitation and tribulation,
during which they were once beguiled
into a auagmire under the siren plea
FOR tariff REFORM" 1t causes the peo-
pie more or less uneasiness to see the
same men who betrayed them then ap-
preaching them now with another plea
for another kind of reform. The second
plea may be founded on solid argu-
ment, and some reinsurance is afforded
by the identification with it Of few
eminent Republicans; but upon the
whole the coincidence that the chief
cooks and bottle washers of this second
reform" propaganda are the same
chaps who served in a similar capacity
during the ill-fated experiment with a
deficit tariff impresses the majority of
plain Americans unfavorably and they
prefer not to be bothered with any
more reform" agitations just at this
time.

An association for the protection Of
the human race has been formed in
New York. one of its ideas including
the electrocution of deformed. idiotic
and constitutionally diseased children,
all man!acs, all persons bereft of any
of their senses and all old persons
whose faculties show signs of impair
ment. In addition, marriages are to
be determined on scientific grounds
and love is to he held as a superstition
of the past. The carrying Of such a
programme into execution would pro-
vide some decidedly interesting news.

Not all the labor leaders are against
Mr.. Powderly. One of his warmest in

United States and is in effect the high
est kind of a compliment.

1t is very fascinating to read about
Alaskan possibilities, but don't buy a
through ticket to Seattle instanter. The
difficulties DOUBTLESS seem surmountable
to the stimulated Imagination, but re-
member fact is hard and real conditions
are not as roLe-dreams make them. In
its various news articles Illuminating the
present Klondike craze, the Press has
made plain to most who can run and
read the folly of joining the rush to
Alaska. The season will soon close for
the Yukon steamboats,. The difficult
journey by foot, by canoe, by raft over
the Chilkoot Pass will. soon be without
a margin of safety for the traveller. One
way the yukon diggings are nearly a
month and half distant in time, over
1000 in miles, from the Pacific ports.
Another way they are not so far as the
bird flies, but according to the season the
journey lasts one month, two and may
hap three. And then, when there, one is
in danger of putting more gold in the
ground than is taken out. and himself,

There is something truly sad in the
serious tone in which the British press
dwells upon the possibilities of a war
between England and the United

England fallen SO low that her govern

To the average mind the ado which
has been occasioned over the alleged
receipt of news by carrier pigeons that
Andree has found the North Pole seems
ridiculously out of proportion to the
credibility and the sufficiency of the
evidence. The main benefit from spec
ulation upon the subjest lies in the
fact that it keeps the public mind out
of mischief and to some extent ameli-
crates the torridity of July.
