NEW TO-DAY.

The murderer who, at dead of night, creeps, stealthily out to bury the dead and nangled body of his victim inspires men with horror and dread There is murderer abroad who yearly stays oue-sixth of ali the human race who go down to untimely deaths. This dread monster Is called consumption The approach of consumption is slow and 1nsidious. First there is slight disorder of the digestion. The appetite is poor and the nourishing properties of the food are not properly assimilated. The blood becomes thin and impure. The body begins to starve. Old tissues of the body are not properly re- placed by new. The lung tissues are not properly nourished and are inert and half dead. In this condition they offer good soil for the germs of consumption which invade and attack them
 This operation is promptly reversed by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It invigorates the digestion and appetite and makes assimilation perfect. It builds up and puri6es the blood. It makes new and healthy tissue to replace the old, inert mat ter which it causes to be carried off. It drives out all disease-germs Thousands of cases given up as hopeless have been cured.
 Miss Laura Piersel of East Bethlehem, Wash- ington Go. Pa writes a I must write you tel ling you of the great benefit derived from the use of your Golden Medical Discovery Last sum- mer my friends thought was surely going into consumption and having tried doctors with no satisfactory results and hearing your medicine so highly spoken of, took bottle My cough left me together with all the distressing syrnp- toms, and in fact the cure seemed almost mirac- ulous to all who saw me"
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tiny sugar-coated granules that are an unfailing and permanent cure for constipation.

Dawson City has just about ar . c rived Very few more are com e c ing over the up-river trail. The c c exodus has terminated.

 The last party to leave Dawson Is aboard the Al-Ki They waved an adieu to Dawson on December 20, and were thirty-one days on the trail The weather on the way out was extraor- dinarily mild, the thermometer regis tering 54 degrees above zero for days at time. All Klondikers. going and coming, have been favored this season with a milder winter than has been known in many years.
 Each incoming ship from Seattle and Portland piles up from 150 to TOO men in indiscriminate confusion on the tide water side of the mountains. The con- gestion of people will be several times greater than that which characterized the scrarnllse or the trails last fall and summer. The rush has just begun. Added to the difficulty of getting trans portation from ports in the States is the obstacle of the mountain trails. which must be overcome before the long float on the water is begun at Lake Linderman or Lake Bennett. The objective point of Yukoners now com ing in is to get their outfits over as far as either one of these lakes, and a boat built or bought in time for the break up in the spring. Very few are at tempting to go down the river during the winter. The police do not let them pass with less than 500 pounds of grub now.
 The arrival of the Al-Ki here last Saturday night precipitated a riot in which some blood was spilled. Very few miners are among the crowds now coming. A majority of the passengers may be described by the two words. "the push" which has nothing to lose and everything to gain in "any old way" Gamblers, grabbers. and monde script characters are assembling, and the honest Klondiker must keep a clear head to run the ganut and get on the Yukon side of the divide with his outfit.
 Incoming ships have not been cer- tain for some weeks of longshoremen to discharge cargo when arriving at night, though there has been no shcrt- age of longshoremen in the day time. There are scores of men around D1-aa looking for any kind of job. For this

I think the companies are to blame if they are losing money, for it Is a well-known fact that they are not living up to the rates allowed by the ordinance. think the rate fight between the companies has hurt Oakland more than anything that has ever been done.

''The Council has no fight to make on anybody. I think we will have to base our action in the water rate matter on our own in- vestigations and not on what some body else has done. The old Coun- cil went in when there was a fight against corporations, and especially against the Contra Costa Water Company. I think everything should be fair to all parties con cerned, and in order to have this it will be necessary for whatever committee the matter is referred to to look into the question without bias.

talk about it when an attempt is made to raise the rates. I don't think the Council will stand a raise put think there are some inius- tlces in the prevailing rates. In my opinion, we have no legal rates. The law says that the City Council must fix the rates during the month of February. The last City Coun- ell failed to do this, and the present council fixed the rates in March. In my opinion, there are no legal rates. l think it Is an injustice to ask the companies to put in hydrants in outlying districts at the rate of s1 75 per month. But I have nothing to say about this until the matter comes before the Fire and Water Committee next week. I am chair man of the committee, and shall do my part to have the rates adjusted in February"

statesmen with the Irish he became the
most popular. Even when the first
home rule bill had been defeated Glad
stone faced the six years of opposition
with cheerfulness. Throughout that
period he was the head and front Of
the struggle. In the interval between
the rejection of the first and the intro
duction of the second home rule bill
came the great split in the Irish party,
| which led to the deposition of Parnell
There can be no doubt that the Irish
leader would have remained in command
of his party had it not been for the
fact that Gladstone yielded to the clamor
of tho English Methodists and the Scot
fish Prcsbyterians. 1t was the big mis-
take Of Gladstones career For years
he had been associated in Office and out
OF it with nobleman, the details OF
whose private life We're well known.
But Gladstone had mover suggested that
that was a reason why this man should
be driven from public life Yet he i'll
sisted that Parnell should retire and
leave the task to others. What he failed
to see was that a united Irish party was
impossible under any other director.
And without united Irish party home
rule simply became an impossibility in
turn.
With Gladstone's death the link con-
Meeting the early part Of the century
with the present in England has
snapped. His life covered the great
movements of tho Victorian period, re-
ligious. literary and political. One Of
the noticeable things about the big BIZ
ographies published recently was the
recurrence Of Gladstone's name. 1t was
so in Purcelrs Life of Manning" in
Wards Life of Wiseman,' in Hallam
Tennyson's life of his father. the late
laureate. Gladstone had left Oxford be-
fore the Tractarian movement began,
but 1t interested him keenly. When the
time came he helped to check the anger
reused in England over the re-establish-
ment of the Roman hierarchy. Wise
man, Newman, Manning passed away
in turn, and, in his last years, Glad
stone was the sole great survivor Of the
most stirring period in Anglican church
history IN generations. When the his
torians wanted the views of a CON-
temporary there was only one man to
go to. 1t was the same with the liter
airy period covering the same years.
One great reputation after another had
been made, while Gladstone was busy
with the work of state. And. no mat
ter how much he might be taken up
with policy and legislation, his interest
in the new men was ever fresh. He

Morning on the Irish Coast.

(These lines were suggested by all in
cident which occurred on board one of
the transatlantic liners plying between
New York and Queenstown. In the
same ship with the author, who was on
his way to Ireland. was an old Cork
man, who, during the latter portion of
the voyage kept vigilant lookout for
land. At last in the gray dawn of the
morning he caught sight of the low
coast line in the distance. The moment
he did so, he exclaimed, with the utmost
enthusiasm: Gould Ireland, the top of
the mornin' to ye!")
TIL anam an Dhia! but there it is
The dawn on the hills of Ireland!
Gods angels lifting the nights black
From the fair sweet face Of my sire
land!
o Ireland! isn't it grand you look
Like a bride in her rich adornin'!
And with all the pent-up love of nv
heart
bid you the top Of the mornin'!
This one short hour pays lavishly back
For many year of mourning;
Id almost venture another flight,
There's so much joy in returning
Watching out for the hallowed shore,
All other attractions scornin':
o Ireland! don't you hear me shout?
bid you the top of the mornin!
Ho, Ho! upon Cleena's shelving strand
The surges are grandly beating,
And Kerry is pushing her headlands out
To give us the kindly greeting;
Into the shore the sea birds fly
On pinions that know no dropping,
And out of the cliffs with welcomes
charged,
A million Of waves comes trooping.
o kindly, generous, Irish land,
So leal and fair and loving!
No wonder the wandering Celt should
think
And dream of you in his rowing.
The alien home may have gems and
gold;

tered over the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, for wherever there is wealth to
covet or land that can be possessed the
British flag is there. Do we want to be-
come an ally with such power and help
her in her marauding deeds, as we
would be most certainly bound to If an
alliance was made? Never! Let us do
with the Anglo-American alliance as our
forefathers did with the tea in Boston
throw it overheard and consign it to the
vastly deep, the proper place for IL. In
the event of an alliance with this coun-
try we would be bound to as
sist England when she gets in
trouble abroad, whether the cause
was right or wrong, and America
would have to equip an army to fight for
Englands cause, thus increasing taxa
ton. For proof of the foregoing Just
read the address that Joe Chamber
lain recently delivered in Birmingham.
England is practically excluded from the
councils of Europe for her robbing poi
icy, violated treaties, etc., etc., and now
this hereditary foe of the American re-
public comes over to us and on Bonded
knees asks America to join hands with
her for perpetual peace. If we want per-
petual peace with England instead of an
alliance with this willy old lion suppose
we build about 20 battleships and $50
torpedo boats. 1t will cost us less in the
end, will give work to thousands of
American workmen, and the great ma
ton of shopkeepers" will bow lower to
us than she is now doing and will hold
us in infinite respect for all time.
Who are the alliance advocates, any
how? They are British subjects and
their descendants who would sell out the
United States body and soul to England
If 1t was In their power, but thank hea-
ven the great mass Of foreign-born citi-
zens, Of whose countries England is also
the eternal enemy, are watching her
scheming trickery and will never per-
NIT it. Poor England expressing SYM
pathy for starving Cuba! At her own
very doors is nation today with thous-
ands of starving men, women and child
rem and in another Of her colonies is the
same condition of affairs occasioned by
misgovernment, oppression and tyranny.
Charity begins at home Such rank hy-
pocrisy needs no further comment. The
United States is waging war in the in
terest of suffering humanity. Would
England do such a thing? Never, but
if she had the chance she would go and
grab the territory and then tell about
her nation being the great civilizer (?)
Of the world. Read Labouchere's Where
is the Flag of England?' and you Will
get historical answer to the civilization
dodge. In the name of the glorious
founders of this republic; in the name of
our flag, sanctifed by the blood of those
who died in the war Of independence
and in the war of 1872, fighting for free
dom and the right against this same hyp-
ocritical, cowardly, bully, England; in
the name of all that is held sacred in
this great land, let us not hearken to
the pleadings Of treacherous England but
take our stand as patriots by our nation
free and untrammeled Thanking you,
Mr.. Editor, for your kindness, remain,
yours most respectfully,

Shadows may never have gloomed it;
But the heart will sigh for the absent
land,
Where the lovc-light first illumed It.
And doesn't old Cove look charming
there
Watching the wild waves motion,
Leaning her back up against the hills
And the tip of her toes in the ocean?
I wonder don't hear Shandon's BELLS
All! maybe their chiming's over,
For It's many year since began
The life of a, Western rover.
For thirty summers, ashore machree.
Those hills now feast my eyes on
Meier met my vision save when they
Over memory's dim horizon.
Fen so, twas grand and fair they
seemed
In the landscape spread before me:
But dreams are dreams, and my eyes
would ope
To see Texas sky still DER me.
Oh! often up on the Texan plains,
When the day and the chase were
over,
My thoughts would fly DER the weary
wave,
And around this coast line hover;
And the pray'r would rise that some
future day
All danger and doubling scornin'
I'd help to win for my native land
The light of young Liberty's mornin!
Now fuller and truer the shore line
shows
Was ever a scene so splendid
feel the breath of the Munster breeze!
Thank God that my exile's ended!
Old scenes, old days, old friends again,
The vale and cot was born in
o Ireland! up from my heart of hearts
bid you the top of the mornin!
