OUR NEW TERRITORY.

How little we know of the world
When we were children at school
we learned that there was a group
of islands IN the Pacific off the east
coast of Asia somewhere. Now since
they are ours, we begin to look
them up to see what we have.
First we find there are over z, 600
of these islands containing 1143S6
square miles of the most productive
soil on earth. An area equal to that
of New York, New Jersey. Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland combined, with
a population of 8 or 9 million A
pretty good slice of mother earth
to be taken by the boys while the
cooks were preparing breakfast.
This will be a great field for money
and enterprise after the war is over.

occupied. The go west young man

DEMOCRATIC ADVICE.

Below we give an extract from a
letter recently written by that dem
ocratic wheelhorse B. J, Sheriden,
editor of the Spirit Of Paola, to the
Kansas City Journal, published in
that paper July II, 1t shows how
harm0niously and pleasantly the
elements of fusion dwell together in
unity. Don't worry now gen
tlemen you fondled and nourished
the reptile in its infantile stages till
it became strong and vigorous, when
true to its nature, it swallowed you
up. After speaking of some local
subjects, Mr. Sheridan says
have gone into details about these
matters, not SO much for my own
benefit, but because Populists and
fusionists have sought, by misrepre-
senting me, to throw discredit upon
the honest loyal democrats of Kan
sas, who will not be bound by the
surrender of their party to the Pop
ulists at Atchison last June With
hundreds of others, when the report
of the conference committee came,
surrendering and binding the Demo.
cratic party of this state to Pop
ulism, paternalism, humbug and
fraud, left that convention and
did not return to take part in the
dishonest and wicked formalities by
which the Populist state ticket was
nominated | bolted. And from
now till the polls close next Nov.
shall work against the Populist
ticket and urge all loyal Democrats
to do the same.
This is why the PopuIists and flu
sionists are assailing me. Thirty
years Of honest life in Kansas,
twenty four of which have been
spent IN service of the Democratic
party, ought to entitle me to better
treatment at the hands of such gen
tlemen as Click, Martin and Over
myer, for whom l have spent my
own money and labored to elect
them to the governors chair on
straight Democratic tickets. But
they employed the Topeka cores
pendent of the Kansas City Times
to manufacture and publish charges
against me. This they do because
refuse, and they well know | will
refuse to the end, to uphold and
commend the unholy plct by which
the Democratic party was surrender
ed to Popuhsm, and decent, cour-
ageous Democrats disfranchised.

And they get to do it a character
less fellow who would not be believ-
ed on oath in any court in Kansas,
But neither raillery nor lies will
change my course Every true Dem
ocrat in this state has duty to per-
form and that duty is, help to rid
Kansas of Populism by defeating it
at the polls. Populism has destroy
ed our organization and has disffan
chised us or driven us to vote the
Republican ticket; it has through
PETER Simpson, I.ewelling and
Leedy, damaged our state $40, 900,
900; it has thrust upon us the two
most corrupt and extravagant iegis-
Iatures known since the days of
Pomeroy; it has crippled the useful
ness of our charitable educational
institutions and converted them in
to mere political machines; it
threatens us with the rankest pattern
alism through state ownership of all
insurance business and stock yards,
it has robbed the treasury of over
$1,000, 900 of the state school fund
through purchases of worthless
bonds and the swag divided among
the perpetrators and benefciaries
of the fraud it has made Kansas
a byword through the East and the
South; and by its boldly proclaimed
paternalism and socialism it stands
today for the most dangerous evils
that menace individual liberty in a
government by free people.
If a straight Democratic ticket is
deemed necessary, | am in favor of
it at whatever cost or sacrifice. But |
my opinion is that we as Democrats
can more easily and effectually do
as Democrats did few years ago
in Tennessee, defeat the spurious
ticket labeled Democratic, and thus
bring reform directly; do as the
did in PENNSYLVANIA
after time servers and corrrption-
lists got everything in their hands,
when Robert Pattison was elected
gov. on a straight democratic ticket,
and do as Republicans did in Kan
sas when they tired of St. Johnism
and voted the ticket of the oppos-
ing party.

Woman's Strong Constitution Wrecked.
Effects Of Treasherous Disease.
4 Wonderful Case.
From the bulletin, Monroe, La.

Mn. Stephen Robbins is the wife of a
prominent farmer living on large and we'll
kept plantation just Ut the edge of Monroe,
La. They have resided in this community
but two years, having moved here from ILL
nois. The change was made for the benefit
ing advised her that it was the only hope Of
her ever regaining her lost health.
"Thrse years ago this last winter" said
Mrs.. Robbins, 81 was very sick with that
most trcacherous disease, the grippe. ! had
. very severe time with it, but was able to
get out after being confined to my home
several weeks. l think l went cut too
soon, for Immediately contracted cold
and had . relapse, which is common occur

weeks ! was confined to the house; and after
this did not fully recover until recently.
I was able to get out again, but was quite
different woman.
"4y former strong constitution was wreck

grown pale and sallow. Ny lungs were SO

pounds in weight. l tried to regain my
strength and former good health by trying
different medicines and physicians, but moth

gone, and when ! ate the food it would not
stay ON my stomach.
The only thing my physician said for me

QUEER LAKE SALAWlK.
Its Waters Grow Warm in Winter and
Men Can Fish There with Clubs.

wen San Elbh iGeFc Win SluDos
The rich placers of Klondike are not
the only curiosity of the country trav-
ersed by the Yukon. Not far from Daw-
son there is in Alaska a really extraor-
binary lake which was named Salawik
by its discoverer, Rev. p. Tosi, a mis-
sionary among the savages.
This lake, which is 90 miles long and
about IS miles wide, is perhaps the
only one in all that extreme northern
region which does not freeze over dur
ing the winter. No communication has
been discovered between it and the
sea, nevertheless, at high water upon
the coasts of the northern ocean, the
level of the lake rises, and it falls again
at low tide.
This sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point of making Salawik
salt lake; on the contrary, its waters
are good to drink. But another of it's
peculiarities is that it's temperature
rises in winter and falls in summer
When all the water courses of the neigh
boring country are completely frozen
over, Lake Salawik becomes SO warm
that it is really pleasant to battle in it.
On the other hand, in the summer time
the water is extremely cold.
This popularity makes it in the win
ter time Mecca of fishermen. The
abundance of fish in the lake is so great
that person can almost catch them
with the hand, and can kill large quanti-
ties with club. Here for the miners
is a source of food supply which GER
tainly will contribute to diminish the
cost of living, especially during the win
tar, in that inhospitable region. In
an hour man can get enough fish to
supply himself for month, and of the
very best quality, including salmon,
ranging from 20 to so pounds in weight.
1t will not be astonishing if some fine
day we may see upon the shores of Lake
Salawik one of those fashionable hotels
which are the glory of American water
ing places.-Republique. of Lewiston,

A Great Man Gone.

In the death of Right Hon.
William Ewart Gladstone
Great Britain has lost her
greatest and wisest statesman
that country has known, not
excepting Prince Metternick,
Baron Stein, Bismark, or our
own illustrious Blaine. Not a
man in the past history of
England commanded the re.
spect of the British people
that Mr.. Gladstone did. Ever
since he entered into public
life more than half a century
ago he was at once singled
out as a leader and a man of
promise. AS a member of
Sir Robert Peel's cabinet he
gained, at the age of 81, the
attention of the nation to him
self as minister of finance.
AS a "high Tory and before
he had broken with the rigid
ecclesiastisim and narrowpreju-
dices of Oxford university,and
later as the advocate of Lib
eral principles, and finally as
the spokesman of the Liberal
party, he has always been a
foremost man, whether he was
leader of the opposition, Chan
cellor of Exchequer or the
Premier of England. This
sovereignty of power was due
to several causes. He sprane
from the English middle class
and inherited from his father a
natural aptitude for finance
and was early taught to think
for himself on the questions o.
the day. He had the faculty
of stating leading principles
with great clearness, at th'
same time that he was able t.
hold the attention of others t.
matters of detail. He threw
imaginative power into hi
speeches and his voice Away
carried conviction to his hear
ers. He was always in eal
nest. and none ever came int
contact with him who did nc
feel that he was a profoundl
sincere and religious mar
These are the essential cause

ming, but through all the vici

ter represented the broad and
generous aims of the Eng.
fish nation as a whole. His
honesty, his disinterestedness,
his breadth of views and hot
indignation at public wrongs,
his Identification of British in,
terests, not with the aggrega-
ton of territory, but with the
development of British indus
tries, connected him so closely
with the life of the nation that
his name counted for some,
thing wider than party. He
was in every particular 'The
Greatest Commoner" in Brit.
ish history.
In the repeal of the corn
laws and in the other steps
which led to the 'Open Door,
of free trade, Mr.. Gladstone
bore mighty part. It is said
that he attempted too much,
and if his ADMINISTRATION failed
at times it was simply because
the country was not willing to
have its abuses reformed.
Upon his last advent into
power he found that Beacons-
field "jingo'a administration had
destroyed the independence OF
the Transvaal republic in
South Africa. The resulting
war was disastrous to the
British arms. Public opinion
was in favor of the ''imperial
policy war was popular, and
there was a feeling that the
prestige of British valol
had been impaired in South
Africa and it was due to Brit
ish honor that it be redeemed
