KLONDYKE DELUSIONS.

The American spirit CT speculation
is already being sorely tempted by the
Klondyke craze. Every Imaginable
sort of company for promotion" and
development" in the Yukon gold re-
gicu is being chartered, and soon the
country will be flooded with attractive
circulars aud ovcrrun with GLIB ton
gued and plausible agents setting
forth the enormous profits to he made
by investment in shares and stocks.
The resultant investments will be
of the nibbIiug, tentative sort at first,
but this may soon give way to reck'
less plungiug that will carry into the
whirlpool thousands aud millions Of
dollars accumulated after lite time
of toll aud sacrifice.
1t does little good to warn people
to bold on to their mOuey with tirmer
grip when excitement of the kind that
is now being worked up gets under
full Roadway. They lose judgment
aud soberness and become intoxica-
ted with the prospects of quick for
luut' uidhlues
Ii is unavsiling to direct their at
tention to the wrecked estates and
families of Europe as a result of tue
late Kaffir craze, And yet it need
surprise no Que if the Alaskan specu'
lation becomes Is foolish as the baftir
rush. OF course there is gold gu the
Yukon, and probably there is more
of it in a limited area than was ever
before found. But that doesn't signify
that there Is a fortune for every body
who goes 10 Alaska or who invests in
Alaskan prospects. The lucky ones
following the rules 0, experience in
such affairs, will be about Que il every
twenty who 60 there or who in;rust
heir money to others for investment
The Republic hopes that its readers
viii heed timely warning and hold
on to their money long while before
giving it up freely for "fl er" in

profit in industrial investments at
home than ia mining investments any.

Again the irresponsible blood
stained hand of Anarchy has struck,
and another victim has been offered
10 an insane and Objectless craze for
destruction. Iftbere was any method
in the madness of the assassin ofCano-
vas, his idea may have been that by
the death of the premier some relief
might be brought 10 exhausted Spain
by q change of policy. The loug
course of colonial wars aud domestic
dlscord has drained Spain OF blood
and money until her very life as a
nation is in danger of extinction.
What the result of a change of state
policy will be cannot, of course, be
stated, but it ia natural to suppose
that the apparently impossible recon-
quest of Cuba, which was urgently
advocated by Csnovss, msy Low be
abandoned, and give place TO mes-
sures locking to Gn immediate end Of
the struggle in that tortured island.

SHERlDAN'S RIDE OUTDONE.

Two Well Known Men Ride for Five
Hours on the Electric Car Line.
Saturday afternoon Captain j. w.
Danley, the we'll known boarding
house keeper, bantered two OF his
boarders, Jim Immel and ARA John
son, to take a continuous trip of five
hours duratiop at his expense. lmmel
and johnson delared they would enjoy
a fve-hour ride-ln fact would like
nothing better. They said they
would gladly take advantage of the
offer, and would give Danley dollar
apiece if they didn't stick the trip out.
At 1880 the party got aboard car,
and Danley went once around with
them to give them confidence in the
new tangled affair. He placed them in
the kind care of the conductor and
related the stipulation.
All was well for little while, but
after Is or 20 laps the thing began to
get monotonous; and Furthermore
toward o'clock they began to get
thirsty, so Daney sent word to have
them watered. This was done, and the
grind continued. The men paced the
car, rode backward, sideways, and al
most Skinned up the trolley pole in
their nervousness. Would $50 o'clock
never come? They thought they would
expire! AS they would swing into
view of their friends along the line
they were greeted, regretted, followed
at, and given all sorts of guys.
Bound TO save their dollars, they
stuck their task through, and tired as
dogs and hungry as bears they dropped
off at Danley's at 5:3O-victors.
