In the evening the streets were densely

the throngs to different points and thus
relieved Government Square and the

to visiting veterans without regard to the

that public business would prevent him

The annual parade Of the veterans,
which took place Wednesday, strung out
for miles, and when the first division had
finished the march the last was still watt
ang to get In line. Enthusiasm was never
greater. The events Of the INST wear
have intensified the love in the American
heart for the defenders Of the nation.
Strains Of martial music filed tho mir.
and from the beginning to the end of the
march the streets were densely packed
with people. The enthusiastic ripple of
applause which started ut Central avenue
swclled into a roar Of patriotic cheers be-
fore the head Of the column had gone half

the march, past the reviewing stands.

typical American scene. 1t was at the
same time q welcome to the old soldiers
and a peace celebration.
Veterans Of the Spanish war mingled
with veterans Of 81, and their cheers for
the old Gag seemed stronger and more
loyal. They offered their lives in the de-
Tense Of their country. and their presence
among the older veterans was because
the fortunes Of war fell In their favor. A
spirit Of Americanism prevailed, and peo-
pie feltcitated each other because Of
American valor, Shat valor which makes
the American private soldier the pride Of
the nation and the wonder of the world.

Big Figures. The.e.

Big Figures, These.
Here are q few figures ITO give you an
idea of the wealth added to this nation
during 1893. 1t is all the gift Of a kind
and benevolent nature. It is worth
mentioning that the figures given, al
far as the crops are concerned, are
maximum, but the prices are not far
from those the producers will receive
for their toll:
Wheat, 1OO,OOO.0W bush, 7Oc. $$4YO, 0OO, 900
Corn, 2,OOO.OOO.OO0 bush, 25c 5OO,OOO,OOO
Cotton, 100000 bales, $2O. 22O,OOO,OOO
Hay, 55.OOO,OO0 tons, $6.... 800, OOO,OCO
Oats, 655, 100000 bush, Doc. 131, 100000
Potatoes, 25O,OOO,OOO bush,
4Oc 1OO,OO0,OOO
There's a grand total of $1,171 100000
to find it's way to the pockets of the
farmers, and thence to the hands Of the
| various tradesmen and manufacturers
of this country, except a few hundred
millions to be saved and invested in
Government bonds. If another issue
were in prospect all of it, even IL as
large as the last, would be absorbed by
the farming interests of this country.
Other items are omitted from the
above liable. For instance, the poultry
and egg business of the country is al
most as big as the wheat crop, and the
small fruit business is enormous in the
aggregate. If items like these were to
be added, and others which have no
part In the Government reports, the to-
tal given would be almost IL not en-
tirely doubled. +
Verify this is a land flowing with milk
and honey. The sample of prosperity
now in evidence over the country from
end to end is but the %forerunner Of
greater things. Look pleasant, please,
and THANK Providence that you are an
American, If not an American farmer.
The President In War Times.
Wal is unquestionably the fire that
tests mems souls, that burns away the
dross, leaving the pure gold. When
Maj. Mckinley was nominated for the
Presidency. many, eve in his own par
ty. were convinced that a weak man
had been named. Several of his ap-
pointments to prominent positions OF
great responsibility only served to
strengthen the first impression. while
his seemingly weak delay in declaring
war after the wreck of the Maine CON
WINGED them of his utter inability to
pilot the nation. :,
But events have shown the fallacy Of
that reasoning; what they thought was
vacillating weakness was serene self
possession; what they took for hest
fancy was dignity; what they consid-
cred fear was calm courage. Through
out the entire conduct of the war he
has guided the Ship of State with u
steady hand and n clear brain. No man
in public station ever had a higher
sense of his responsibility. When Lin
coin was Mt the helm he, too, was as
sailed by hostile criticism from all
sides; his motives were minconstrued,
his acts misjudgcd. But when tho
clouds Of war had melted away, people
began to appreciate the nobility, the
magnanimity and the sublime courage
of Lincoln.
1t will be so with Mckinley. Already
his bitterest enemies are beginning to
appreciate the great worth Of the man;
already he is beginning to receive the
loyal support and Endorsement of men.

TAP OF THE KoTzEBUE SOUND REGION.

there is great suffering there, that pro-
visions are scarce and that the govern
ment should send immediate relief. Ever
since the Bear reached Kotzebue sound
last July, we have been expecting this
plea for governmental assistance. be-
Iieve that Captain futile, in his report of
| the cruise informed the department. OF
the facts and conditions existing there.
AS the government Is fully informed as
to Kotzebue sound, 1t is very unlikely
that any expedition will be sent up there
| until next summer.
| No such crazy band ever started on an
undertaking as was the twelve hundred
people who rushed into the Kotzebue
sound district this last summer. They had
no definite information whatever to go
on. Even the rumors of the finding of
gold were shadowy. Some came from
missionaries, some came from whalers.
An intimate acquaintance with the mis-
sionary of Alaska or the whaler of any
part of the globe would deter most people
| from following their advice if the advice
depended on question of fact. But many
of these prospectors had seen few sam
pies of gold evidently from the Yukon
| riyer). and tn ey were told the usual story
of native bringing the strange but, as
| they thought, valueless stones OF trade.
They told one story that know to be abb
solutely false. This was that the officers of
the Bear, impressed by the wonderful
| richness of the Kotzebue sound country
had staked out claims along the shore
near Cape Blossom. Captain Tuttle was
said to have GRUB staked'' native and
to have sent him up the Kowak river to
seek for gold, Captain Tuttle admits that
he gave q native tin pan and bag .ot
flour. DR.. Call says that he told the ma
| tive how to wash out gold. But the Esk1-
| mo had SO little faith in the Kowak river
| tt at he did not leave the coast. He was
made SO proud, however, by the conf
depce that the captain of the Bear had re-
1 posed in him, that he set himself up as an
| important man. He tried to destroy
some whiskey stills belonging to other
natives and they lost no time in killing
! him. When we arrived there this summer,

to the Bear when she arrives in the sum

the culprit dead or alive, and they gen

of an abundance of provisions there, and
the report of a shortage is simply non
sense.
There may be suffering on account Of
insufficient clothing Of a proper kind to
withstand the Arctic winter. There were
indications of such condition In August.
But the natives do not suffer for want Of
clothing aud there is no real necessity for
the prospsctors to do SO. They are well
provided with guns and ammunition and
should have little difficulty in shooting
enough clothing to keep out the cold.
No gold has been found around Kotze-
bue sound or on the Kowak or Salawik
rivers. But there is gold on the Yukon
and the portage between the Kowak and
Koyukuk rivers is very short. The
Koyukuk flows into the Yukon and there

little fitted to shift for themselves. But
they must, and they will. About a dozen
have been drowned trying to tow their
boats with provisions up the swift waters
of the Kowak. There have even been
serious accidents on Hotham inlet which
is shallow and rough. But, in case OF
serious hardship to great many of them,
they will be able to reach the head waters
of the river on some of the little stern
wheel river boats of which there are at
least four. In that country, the transpor-
tation companies are not permitted to
stand in the way of the public good, and
in case of necessity, the boats would un-
douBtedly be seized by the miners.
~ Should a relief party go to Kotzebue
sound,s it must get there before the latter
part of Novemb Der. But cannot see how
the government can be expected to take
any action in the matter. The prospec'
tors have all been thoroughly warned tic
expect no outside aid. And, from what
we saw there in the latter part of August,
they do not need any.
