Just returned from Dawson, III which,
among other sensible things, he
says: @There is good zeal of fake
about this Klondike rush. The

it up well. They will make money
enough to load their old tubs. A
multitude Of deluded tenderfeet will

come out. Though there are some
phenomenally rich claims. there is
much moonshlne in the reports Of
fabulous wealth all around. Rich
ground ID scarce and every inch that
is known to show color is claimed.
The new conner must branch out and
prospect for himself. If he is not
well fixed for Summers outfit he
will find himself in bad box and a
cold one. 1t is country of big dis
tances. The season is short, and by

other dreary eight-months winter has
to be endured. Work will be scarce
for the thousands who will need it,
and wages will be lower than. many
persons imagine, as hundreds will be
glad to labor for grub alone. The
man who goes to Klondike with less
than $1,000 in coir, after travelling
expenses are paid, will find himself

Strong Silver Sentiment

w. E. Curtus, Washington cor
respondent Of the Chicago Record,
tells Of the surprise caused by the big
vote given the Teller Silver resolution
in the Senate. He says: @The action
Of the Senate yesterday in giving pre-
cedence over all other business to the
Teller resolution, which declars that
the bonds of the United States may
be paid in Silver, shows how far. from
possible it is to secure from this Con-
gress any legislation for the currency
reform that does not include the
restoration Of the money power OF Sill
yer. 1T shows that the silver men are
stronger in the Senate than they were
two years ago, Notwithstanding the
ection of president upon a gold
standard platform. 1T shows that the
enactment of a protective tariff law,
the restoration OF Industrial activity
and comercial prosperity has not sat-
isfied the aG-'0cates of free coinage or
eliminated tie silver question from
politics. 1t shows that wishes of the
PRESIDENT, often declared i'll public
and in private. and the debasing in
fluence PATRONAGE are not SO strong
with certain Republican senators as
public sentiment III their several
states. II shows the folly of the cur
rency commission in depending upon
support from the Democratic senators
from the South. 1t shows, further
more, that the split in tie Republican
party on the silver question is grow
ing wider, and that the president will
take great risks if he forces that issue
into the congressional campaign next
fall"

and John Brown, and who deliberately
SANDER the Southern people and seek
to array the negroes against them, are
enemies of the colored race and dan
gerous to the peace and prosperity of

responsible for race outrages, murders

blood shed under these circumstances
will cry to heaven against them. 1t is
time hat the better classes in the

Oh! The Pain
OF Rheumatism!
Its TOrtures Known to
Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma'
tism become a constant com
panion to all who are victims OF
this disabling disease. The peo-
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know its tor
lures.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con-
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments in the world can have
} effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to GO to the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift's
Specific Is. s. s. is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joints
and aching of the bones.
S. S. s. ~ncutralizes the acid
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. 1t
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have made
cripples with their prescriptions
of potash and mercury.
