After the last date a one-dolar
greenback, itself far below gold in
value, would buy from $500 to 81 900
until the moment when all hope of re-
demption was forever. gone, Confeder-
ate money became interchangeable.
People who speak so glibly of ire
deemable money know nothing of the
subject.
If they have read history, especially
Confederate financial history, they
have read to no profit.
They have read the latest and most
telling example of the rise and fall of
free and unlimited money without
finding out that it fell in purchasing
power as it grew more plentiful.
AS matter of fact, Confederate
money bore the promise of redemption,
yet it fell to worthlessness.
A fiat money man told the JOURNAL,
however, that this result happened
"because there was no government be-
hind it,"
This turned ont to be tue.
But if failing government cannot
redeem its promises, what more is to be
expected In the way of redemption by
a strong, durable government that
makes no promise to redeem?

What became of the proposition the county
commissioners had looking to the appoint
ment of one tax collector instead of five?
Was it llegal?-Cumberlan Mdependent.
The JOURNAL has not had time to
consult that great work entitled
Every Man His Own Lawyer" but
from party standpoint-republican,
is unlawful, if not also indiscreet and
injudicious, not to say incautious and
venturesome to have one man do the
work of five for less money.

Easily Tickled.

The democratic organettes are
visibly fattered by the presidents in
vitation to Senator German to call and
talk over Cuban affairs.
Indeed, each organist. in acknow
lodging the executive compliment, ac-
cepts it with as much 81 told you-so'
gusto as if it had been chunk of
greatness thrust upon himself
In smiling at the ease with which,
without due provocation, its brethren
jubilate, the JOURNAL does not detract
from their right to chortle over any
social or hospltable accident which
brings distinction to the Bryanesque
household, but it would, if permitted,
suggest more clrcumspection hereafter
in the use of terms which allege that
those democrats who never left the
sound-money planks of the German
platform of May, 1896, are "deserters
from the party assistant McKln-
leyites," etc.
For if Mckinley, the republican
president, be the creature of demo-
cratic treason, any preference of his
for Mr.. German as counselor cannot
be decoration of honor to which
either himself or his logged partizans
can point with pride"

The West Virginia Miner.

Chief Mine Inspector J. w. Paul, who has
been studying the conditions of coal mining
IN the Pittsburg district for the purpose of
comparison with those that exist in West
Virginia, reports that the West Virginia
miner fares better and is paid more for his
work than the miner in the Pittsburg dis
trict, which produces the coal that comes into
competition with much of the coal that goes
to market from West Virginia. Cumberland
NewS.
1t should be remembered, however,
that the walking delegate can tell a
different story and tell it better, even
on cross-examination.
He doesn't have to live or move in
the Pittsburg district either in order
to testify fully concerning conditions
there.
In fact, the farther he has lived from
a mining region and the less he has
had to do with it the more he knows,
especially Of the evils which prevail
therein.
He is a perambulating cyclopaedia
of disgruntlement, to whose view eds
tance lends enchantment."

The cutest of all walking delegates
is John Burns, of England, who has
made will that no court can break.
He leaves his best love to his wife, a
sound constitution to his son, his books

country.
He is the candid patriot who would,
if pressed, have his country die for him.

SCENIC BEAUTY OF ALASKA.

No American should ever visit Europe
on a sightseeing expedition until after
having made the trip along the Pacific
coast of Alaska. Those who have ta-
ken this trip tell the same story Of the
matchless grandeur of the journey, Of
the midnight sum- of the placid waters,
of the aurora borealis, of majes-
tic mountains OF inland seas, of the
mighty glaciers, of the icebergs plung-
ing into the sea and floating off in a
glory of inimitable splendor. Tourists
and sight-seers will hardly undergo the
hardships of a journey inland.
The Photographic expedition however,
engaged to secure the collection of pho
tographs now being distributed by the
Spy, not only photographed all the beau
ties. of the coast, but the inland country
as well. Penetrating as far as Daw-
son City and the Klondike river country,
they found while zen route to the Klon-
dike,H a wealth Of material to draw
from that an awaiting world was anx-
ious to see
Striking views of those points made
famous by their association with the
pioneer argonauts of '97, have been Sc
cured. Also views of miners at work
on claims, and others prospecting along
the banks of the rivers and creeks that
are tributary to the Yukon. Interest
teens from every page OF the 142 pho
tographs that make up the collection.
To photograph the Blondike country
has been most remarkable enterprise,
the undertaking Of which was fraught
with great hardship. The public may
now enjoy the result of this labor per
formed in their interest by number of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.
The photographs are now being Of
fered Spy readers in portfolio form, at
a nominal cost of 10 cents each. Six
parts will complete the series; each part
contains "a full-page photographs.
