CURRENT COMMENT.

Europe. 1t is condition which may
drive Brer Bryan 10 Mexico again.
| Chicago Inter Ocean.
GyWhat makes it still better is the
fact that every one of those $4,000, 00G
is worth n hundred cents in any part
of the world.-Cleveland Leader.
GJPresident Mckinley has conquered
all opposition in this country. The jim
goes have to indorse him, and he has
won them without turning jingo him
self.-Iowa State Register
UThere is difference. President
Cleveland said he had congress on his
hands. President Mckinley has con-
gress at his back-and by unanimous
vote in both houses.-Troy Times.
DWhile other people are discussing
the possibilities of war with Spain,
Bryan goes about suavely shaking
hands with the men who are likely to
be delegates to the next democratic
national convention.-Albany journal.
DThe populist ''bimetallists" at all
times mean free silver and "silver
sixteen to one" That, of course, means
monometallism, and nothing less, and
just as certainly silver monometallism.
In the campaign of defeat in 1896 they
fought shy of the word and hooted
when "bimetallism" was mentioned
Chicago Inter Ocean.
EyOnly second to the tribute to Amer
lea is the congressional tribute to Pres
ident Mckinley. The evidence of ma
tipnal confidence in the chief magis-
trate is almost If not quite without
parallel in our national history. North,
south, east and west, ola nation of 49,
100000, say without dissenting voice
that the president may have all the
money he calls for to expend in emer-
gency preparations. That issa vote of
confidence of which any president and
cabinet might be proud.-Troy Times.
rTIt is evident that the Ahgeld DEM
ocrats mean to draw the line sharply
from now on on the silver question.
They have made it plain that man
must be for sixteen to one or he is no
democrat, all of which portends a more
clearly defined line of cleavage in the
already sadly disorganized democratic
party since the number of those who
believe that sixteen to one is q dead
issue, or that IL is not wise to insist
too strongly. upon any particular ratio,
is rapidly increasing. If these men are
to be read out Of the party there will
be even less OF II left after the next
campaign than there was after the dis
astrous defeat of 'o8.-Peoria Trans.

WOMEN AS COMPOSERS.
Publishers Say Their Manuscripts
Far Outnumber Those by Men.


y prominent publisher tells me that
where, some years ago, only about one
tenth of the manuscripts submitted
were by women, now their manuscripts
outnumber those of the men two to one.
While this ratio will not hold in pub
llshed compositions, the rivalry is close
even there Women are writing all
sorts of music. A few of them have
already written in the largest forms,
producing work or excellent quality
and still better promise. 1t is in the
smallest forms, however-in instru-
mental solos and short songs-that
they have naturally found their first
success. So good has their work been
here that honesty compels the admis-
sion that hardly any living men are
putting forth music of finer quality,
deeper sincerity, truer individuality
and more adequate courage than the
best of the women composers. Besides
these, there Is number of minor COM
posers writing occasional works of the
purest quality, and in art quality is
everything.
AS to nationality, one finds best rep
resented the three countries that are
now working along the best lines of
modern music: Germany, of course
(whose Clara Schumann wrote much
that was worthy of serious considera-
tom, France and Ameriea for Ameri-
ca, whatever its musical past, is surely
winning its right to the place in this
triumvirate of modern music. It's tend
encies are toward the best things. Italy
has recently had furry of new life
and of growth away from the debilitat-
ing mawkishness into which it had
drifted, but has not yet produced
notable woman composer. The other
continental countries seem even more
torpid; and, though English women
have written much, they have not got
beyond the prevailing cheapness Of the
English school, except, perhaps, in GER
tain of the compositions of Mrs. Marie
Davies and Miss Maud Valerie White

THE kLoNDIkE YIELD IN lsea,
Miners VIII Have to Hustle IL They
Make 1t S1O,OOO,OOO.

| Make 1t S1O,OOO,OOO.
The gold output of the Klondike
country for 1898, at the cleanup in
June, will be between $10,O00,0OO and
$12, 200, 900, according to the estimate of
A. ID. Nash, of Portland, who has just
arrived from Dawson. He is an old
timer in the Yukon country, having
mined along the tributaries of the Yu-
kon, in British territory, since 1895.
But this estimate may be far too high,
for everything is overrated in the Klon-
dixie country. Until recently the gold
product of 1897 was figured at $10,O OO,-
600. by degrees this exorbitant esti-
mate suffered reduction. First it was
cut in two. Now comes an official state
ment from Ottawa which places the out
put of 1897 at S2,500,0OO. Estimates of
this years yield of gold run up to $685.
100000. This is the figure given out
by the combination having mines to
sell. Since last fall over 800 men have
arrived from Dawson with claims" to
sell. 1t is estimated that they have over
1000 claims to put on the market. Some
of these claims are mythical. All the
surveyors on earth could not locate
them. Others are as valuable for placer
mining as is Lincoln park in Chicago
All these men agree that the Klon-
dixie claims will yield S25 900. 600 in gold
this year. They also say that the Alas
ka Commercial company and the North
American Trading and Transportation
company hold in their safes at Dawson
over S7,O0O,OOO Of the yield of 1897. As
n matter of fact, the companies at Daw-
son do not hold over, 81, 0OO, 900.
A little figuring will show how much
work the Klondike miners will have TO
do to run their yield Mp to ST.. OOO. goo.
This winter 300 claims are being
worked. To, make the total reach Slo.-
600, 900 the claims will have to produce
an average of $4,000 each Now. these
300 claims are not of equal richness.
Some may not yield ST. 900. Others NAV
not pay for the wood burned to thaw
the ground and Thus make it " orkable.
There are only 100 really rich claims in
the entire district. These are on Bon
ANA, Eldorado and Hunker creeks. All
other rivers, creeks and gulches in the
Klondike country will be tail-cnders

Signs of Defeat.

The weakening of silverites in the sill

about abandoning the Chicago creed
Of 1916. The chairman of Utah's dem

continuance of the union with the pop

satisfy the fair-minded friends of sill
YER" he declares, and he adds that he is
"unaltcrably opposed to buying sup
port for free coinage by the promise of
Offices in advance" This kind of Ian
guage will brighten Bryan. Bryan
himself is populist, the convention in
which he was nominated was run in the
interest of populist fusion, and much Of
the distinctive principles of that con-
vention's platform were populist doc
trine. If the democrats abandon the
populists Bryan's chances for nominal
ton by the democrats in 1000 will be
very faint, and the chances for the cleo
ton of either democratic or a populist
will be fainter still.-St.

THE WAR WITH SPAIN.

Our war with Spain is far reach
ing in its effects upon our national
character. Its reaction upon our
selves in healing sectional animosity
and fostering feelings of patriotism is
perhaps the most important result
accomplished. Who would have
thought ten or eleven years ago the
ex-Confederate Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
would before the close ofthecentury
find the chief glory in being called
a "Yankee," or that ex-Confederate
General Wheeler would be heralded
to the world as one of the most pa
triotic and beloved leaders of our
national army in the field?
No event has occurred since the
beginning of our national existence
to inspire patriotic feelings as the
war just closing. The spirit of the
end of the nineteenth century with
its contest with mcdievalism has been
SO triumphant as to stir the whole
world. In our own land flag max
ers have been driven as never before
to keep up with the orders, and toy
stores have been raided throughout
the country bv enthusiastic small
boys in quest of drums, woodenguns
and soldier hats. The small boys,
however, have only reflected the
feelings of their parents, as never
before has there been such an interest
taken in the Sons of the Revolution
and other patriotic societies. AS evil
dence Of this awakening, go to
the Pension Office at Washington
and see the immense number of let
tiers received daily by parties in
search of information as to their an
cestors. Here in many instances
the searcher finds the only clue in
existence to evidence which shall
prove his right to membership in one
of the great societies OF descendants
of Colonial or Revolutionary ances-
tors. Marriage certificates, records
of sickness and discharge papers fill
ed eighty years ago by applicants
for pensions by those who actually
fought under Washington are now
resurrected by the great grandchil-
dren of the applicants, and assume
an interest and value never dreamed
of by those who filed them.
Here also can be found complete
outlines of the history of each mans
service with the names of officers I'M
der whom he served, the battles in
which he fought, and dates of enlist
ment and discharge, all attested by
the pensioner in person and support
ed by affidavits of parties who knew
the truth of the facts. incidentally
it may be noticed that in going
through the building to the room in
which the searcher is permitted to
look over the files of Revolutionary
pensions, a large number of new file
wrappers are seen. These attract
attention because across each are
broad red, white and blue stripes.
If you pick up one of these files you
notice that it contains an application
for pension on account of the Span
ish-American war of 1898. Here
again is hint at theprevailing spirit
of the..times.
