Costa Rica then had fewer than 1000

Has Money and Nerve to Fight the
Southwestern Lines.
According to the latest Kansas City pa
pers the attitude of Southwestern lines
towards the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf has been stripped of the features o.,
a boycott. and instead of cutting off all
relations between themselves and the Pee
Gee they merely demand the prepayment of
freight charges. The sudden change Of the
Pee-Gee's connections is accounted for In
the fact that they feared the invoca-
ton of the Sherman anti trust law. The
attorneys for the Pee-Gee say that they
viii be able to kill the action OF the con-
Meeting lines in the courts. and announce
that the road has money and nerve to fight
the cases. The officials of the Plttsburg

at a loss The Kansas City Star says the
Gees case is similar 10 the Lone Stars
situation, and while the steamship line
was successful in their first fight IT. is
thought in Kansas City that the railroad
company will win out on an appeal.

Sitka talking 8 old. He came back from
Pande basin few days before the Cot
tage City sailed, on March 26, with the
report that the bottom OF Blue lake was
coated richly with gold, and that the
mountains in the neighborhood of the
lake were filed with gold. bearing quartz
veins which run from 500 to 5000 TO the
ton, with an average value of $3.50. Is.
it any wonder that all Sitka wants to go
into the Pande basin country?
Wiley has been in Alaska for some
time and returned to Siika on March "a,
from the Pande country. He went out
to investigate quartz proposition for B.
P. Moore, ex-collector OF customs, and
M. H. Muhlman, cashier Of the United
States subtreasury at New York. He
took samples from 10 places on the ledge
and surrounding ground. In taking the
samples shallow pit was dug, and from
three to five pounds of gravel and quartz
taken. In each sample Is per cent of
surface gravel was taken. One test went
as high as 5000 per ton. None we're un
der 500 and the ten assays made aver
aged $3.50 per ton. The assaying was
done at Sitka by John W. Dadley.

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Address Delivered by Rev. /. Green
at the Convention at Watla WalIa.
The past furnishes many valuable
lessons for the present. Sometimes we
call it ''the dead past" But IL is very
much alive. There 10 not an institution
Of today that does not breath OF the spirit
Of the past.
The governments Of the past have left
their imprint upon the governments OF
today. The philosophers OF the past
still live in the philosophy Of today.
The philanthrop!sts of the past still help
to move the hearts Of humanity TO
greater deeds OF love
The heroes OF the past who did so
much to rescue and save fallen human
ity, help to nerve The arms of the worlds
heroes today, to greater leeds OF valor
and worth.
The name Of Enoch, who walked with
God, comes down through ages az q
benediction to all who walk the narrow
way OF life.
Noah, who believed God and was
moved to obey Him, to the saving Of
himself and family, still lives to bless
mankind in the example OF his faith, and
help thtm 10 live better lives.
Abraham. "Tbe Father Of the Faith
full" walks down the ages teaching men
to trust in God, although they may not
SEQ the end, nor be able to pierce the
clouds that hang over lies pathway
to tell what the reward may be.
David, "The Sweet Singer Of Isresl,"
with harp tuned 10 the praises OF God,
still cheers the weary and puts gladness
into millions Of respondent hearts, as
the heavenly strain floats out upon tho
gentle breeze, "lhe Lord is my shep
herd, shall not want"
The beloved Paul still makes kings
upon their thrones trembls by his earn
eat and eloquent sermons, and hy his
faith and devotion be nerves the mission
ary for his work Of love and helps the
world to DO better aud happier.

If prosperity means huge for

prosperity means the general welfare,

Mr.. Bryan in his recent Jackson
day speech said that the results of the
republican party's policy are being
written in newspaper headlines all over
the country under two headings-name-
ly. the formation of new trusts and the
reduction of wages. This is notoriously
true as to the headlines, and it is a
tribute to the general truthfulness of
the press that not even the radical re-
publican organs dare to refuse publish
ing the news. Of course, the Mckinley
editors viii cheerfully buckle on the
armor and try to convince their readers
that more trusts and less wages are
merely prosperity in disguise, but the
average voter has fairly good powers
of penetration.-Chicago Chronicle.

stirring words from both republican
and democratic bimetallists
Former Senator Joe Blackburn ex-
pressed the sentiments Of the demo-
cratA when he asserted that the great
question before the people is not that
OF tariff nor Of social problems. but
that of the currency.
Emphasizing this proposition. Black
burn says: ''The mass of American peo-
pie cannot be turned from their pur-
pose. They are convfneed that the ills
that aff1ict this nation cannot be cured
by the single gold staRdard, and they
have made up their minds to try the

deny, why not settle the matter
once for all by trial? This is what 10

Blackburn's words will find a re-
sponsive echo, not only in the hearts Of
the $500, 900 men who voted for Williams

sects the monetary commissions report

Referring to this matter, he says:
But we who are fighting for the
cause Of bimetallism, in the interest of
the producers and the masses of our cit
izenship, are much gratified at the APP
pearance Of this report. 1t aids in clear
ing the deck for action. IT strips of
more of the cowardly disguise in which
the gold standard has so long mas
queraded and in which it has so vilely
deceived the people. 1t assists in more
shapes defining the great issue before

Thus the forces of bimetallism re-

The battle is to be in the open, and
shorn of the protection of an ambuscade
the enemy will be defeated.-Chicago
