The Fort Wrangel News Is the nane of new eight-page paper published at Fort Wrangel, Alaska, which Is. said to be typical mining town, but the News possesses all the qualities of we'll edited and neatly-printed papers of older settled localities. The News promises to be factor in the affairs of this new town. We notice that one of the principal advertisers is the firm of Case ,S Wilson--and this name Wilson is a familiar one to Dundas people. If we mistake not the Wilson spoken of is native of this ere town, but he ap- pears to havo learned few lessons in the west, for unlike Dundas merchants, he makes good use of the advertising columns of the local paper.-Dundas COnt.)

The Government returns Of the grain
crop of 1897 are 10 complete. They
make almost a startling showing of the
wealth Of the country in soil produo-
ton. Of corn we produced 1907
967, 933 bushels, for which the farmers
reoeived-for farm prices only arAcon-
sidered-no less than 1901, O72, $50, or
about one-half the entire National
debt. Of wheat we produced $780,
149, 1853 bushels, which poured into the
laps of the farmers the sum of $685.
547, 121. Of oats we produced $685.
767, 800 bushels, yielding $147, 974, 719.
Thus on three grain crops alone our
tillers of the soil earned one billion
seventy-seven million five hundred and
ninety-four thousand seven hundred
and ninety-two dollars. This does not
include barley, hay, beef, mutton
wool, pork, eggs, chickens, garden
vegetables, fruits, butter, milk, or any
other Of q hundred farm products that
together greatly exceed these three
recorded. crops in value. 1t does not
include the seven million bales of cot.

A Move in the Direction OF Peace.

The sending of a squadron of vessels
to Spain to lombard coast cities would
seem to be a wise on the part of
the United States. So long as the war
is thousands of miles from the borders
of their country, the Spaniards will feel
that they are in no actual danger, and
the conflict may be dragged on indetin-
itely, if there is a shadow of hope of in
tervention on the part of other European
nations. But send shot and shell screech-
ing and bowling over the homes of the
Dons and they will be singing an entire
ly different tune. Nothing equals a
practical and an ocular demonstration
in convincing skeptics.
In the selection of vessels for the jaunt
to European lands the Navy department
has been particularly fortunate. The
Iowa and Oregon are two of the most
| powerful vessels of the American navy;
| the auxiliary cruisers Yankee, Dixie and
Yosemite are not so large, but they have
been proved and will give a good &C
count of themselves; the flagship Newark
is a host within herself, and the six YES
sells will impress the Spaniards with an
idea that has never entered their heads,
that the United States has a few vessels
| not to be sneezed at when it comes to
throwing p~roiectiles and raising cain
generally.
So far as the third fleet Spain pro-
poses to organize is concerned, should
it linger around the vicinity of Cadiz for
the purpose of defending that city
we'll. there will be a few more hulks to
rust and rot away in the depths of the
| old ocean. This is not said in a spirit
| of braggadocio, but in the light of past
events.
The earnest desire of this country is
to bring the war to a close as quickly as
possible, and the administration could
not have adopted measures which will
| bring that desired end more rapidly
than in sending warships to batter
| Spanish coast towns. The sooner the
| squadron sails for the sea. the sooner
| will peace be declared.

Great Pity, Washington Cannot Write
a Postscript.
providence journal.

1t is a pity that Washington cannot
come back to earth long enough to
write a postscript to his farewell address.
The opponents of imperialism in
terpret it much as some religious sects
interpret scripture, assuming that every
injunction it contains is of perpetual
applicability and that to fail to follow it
literally is to plunge the nation into
awful perils. Our good friend, the
Springfield Republican, devotes nearly
a column to the attempt to show that
the address is not IA back number"
Nobody, so far as we are aware, eve
said that it was. But Washington was
not an inspired prophet, and he could
not anticipate a hundred years ago all
the problems which would confront the
republic today. Perhaps if he had
dreamed of so much blind adherence to
the letter of his text he would have
refrained from writing an address at
all. And if he could speak now we
fancy he might cause CONSERVATION in
the ranks of those who oppose national
development in his name.

A Fool Suggestion.

A solution of the Philippine question
has at last been found, or at least the
New York Herald seems to think so.
In wrestling with the subject a day or
two ago that paper made the following
suggestion:
''But it may yet be in her power to
have a voice in the future disposition of
the Philippines. To do this Spain will
have to act quickly. The American
people might be disposed to listen to
some such suggestion now, coupled with
a peace proposal, but II the war is pro-
longed this disposition will vanish and
terms of peace become more difficult.
"As things are at present, hostilities
might possibly be discontinued on a
basis of the surrender by Spain of Cuba
and Porto Rico, and the establishment
of a Joint control of the Philippines to
be governed under the dual %protectorate
of the Spanish and American govern
ments in somewhat the same way as
England alone is now governing Egypt.
Both countries could have an equal
number of troops, warships, ETC., on the
same line as England proposed to
France for Egypt, but which France re-
fused" ~
The above excerpt is taken from al
article in which Spain was advised that
she might save something of her col
onial possessions by making peace now,
and is about the most absurd thing that
has appeared in print since the war be-
gan.
The fact of the matter is that Mr..
James Gordon Bennett has lived in
Europe so long that he has lost all
touch with the American people and the
suggestion of a protectorate under
the dual supervision of the United
States and Spain is thrown out as a
''feeler' in order to find out ''where he
is at
In that particular he is undoubtedly
satisfied how the Americans feel con.
corning any alliance with Spain, by this
time. The New York Herald and all
other Spanish influences may as well
understand right from the start, that
this country would no more think of
taking over the Philippine islands in
joint account with Spain than it would
of altogether RELOCATING the inhabitants
of that archipelago to the expressions
and cruelties of their old masters. The
idea that a scheme of the kind suggest
ed could be perfected whereby the Span
ish and American naval and military
commanders and civil officers would
divide the functions of defense, dis
cipline and government, with any re-
suit other than constant fighting, is SO
sublimely ridiculous that it Is not worth
while to waste words on the subject.
The United States will not divide the
sovereignty of the Philippine island,
with any other nation, and that matter
car be looked upon as settled for all
time to come, unless some nation arises
powerful enough to drive the stars and
stripes from that part Of the world and
defy the whole of Europe. The islands
will be anything again but an
American colony under exclusive Amer.
lean control.
