Even if the nations of the earth were

nation of s0,OO0,000 people, the rich
est,most fertile in the world, capable, if
put to the test, of feeding her own and
all others on earth-could manage her
monetary system, without the fear that
the nation would go to smash if that
system were displeasing to England.
England has never asked if her finan-
ciai system suits Us. She has conduct
ed it IN her own way, and changed it at
her pleasure. And she has manipulate
ed too, not in the interest Of the masses
Of her people, but to still further swell
the Golfers Of her money kings and
merchant princes.
There seems to be very prevalent
idea in certain quarters that this coun-
try, politically and civilly free, is yet
too weak to be allowed her financial
freedom. IL we are TO be ruled by ling

again become Il political colony, if we

The partial loss OF the grape crop
this year, caused by the heavy rains, is
estimated to exceed 100000. Farm
ers and vineyards all over the north
ern part OF the State have suffered.
While this is true, ii is equally fact
that lost and failing strength may be
restored by the persistent, systematic
use of the great national tonic, Hostel
tcr's Stomach Bitters. which renews
and tones the activity OF the stomach,
liver and the bowels, counteracts n ten
denoy to rheumatism and kidney com
plant, aud prevents Inalarial disorders.
After eXhausting diseases have run
their course, recovery is greatly accel-
Grated by the use of the Bitters, which
improves appetite and imparts renewed
vigor to the debilitated physique.

sence. was too surprising for words.
Another effect of our isolation was the
loss of taste. We lived so exclusively
on the food CT the country. the fish,
deer, etc, brought to US by the Indians,
that when I got to San Francisco L
could rot tell roast beef from roast
mutton. or. say, chicken from either
OF them. With the exception of turnips
1T is very difficult to get vegetables to
grow. When l was stationed on the
Peel river l planted some potatoes in
June; the first week in August we had
a sharp frost which cut them down
left them in until the end of Septem-
Der, and then found them as solid as
when planted. but at Fort Selkirk I did
succeed in reaping few potatoes and
cabbases. which were a great treat to
U.s."
Asked as to his work among the In
dams, Mr.. Canham replied that there
had been much progress, but there were
also many serious difficulties to con-
tend with, the chief of all being the
rowing life led by the tribesmen The
mission stations are opened where the
Indians know there is a trader with
whom they can barter their skins and
fish for clothing, tea and tobacco. Al
each station small wooden house has

school room and church. When the
tribes come in with their goods they
never omit to make call upon the
missionary to shake hands with him.
Next morning thirty or forty children
are found at the school house eager to
learn and very quick; but at the end
of three weeks or a month the whole
tribe starts on it's wanderings again.
They come and take a formal farewell
of the missionary, and as soon as they
have gone another tribe appears. SO.
although the school house and church
are never empty. there is unfortunately
every opportunity of forgetting what
has already been taught.
Another difficulty is the language.
Though there is one predominating dia-
lect-the Tukudh-almost every tribe
has dialect Of it's own. which, to
stranger, is like a new language Mr..
Canham found it simpler to teach them
all in English rather than attempt to
perfect himself in the speech of each
tribe

the snow so that We could bury it. The
ground in winter is, so, hard that it
sometimes takes three Of. four days to
dig a grave as many feet deep. and
this is only accomplished by gradually
thawing out the ground.
From my own experience the men
are Of very little use as Workers. Their
instincts, are all against continuous
daily labor. The Indian women, or
wives as they are called. are the true
workers They build the huts, collect
the fuel. they cut up and prepare for

Difficulties Off Canoeing.
A part OF ArChdeacOna canaan LIE
has been spent travelling through the
Yukon district He knows all the diff
ficulties of canoeing Very pleasant it
is, he thinks, going down stream at the
rate Of six or seven miles an hour,
with nothing to do but guide the ca
noe; but, then, says he. there is the
coming back, and to pull your craft
against a current running so strongly
is terribly arduous task, and one
which even hardy miners dread. But
the winter travelling, despite the cold,
is far from being unpleasant, and
when the Indians do not come to the
stations, their ministers, like a good
pastor at home, feels it his duty to look
his flock up. So the archdeacon goes
to find them, and the imaginary boun-

people wild was hidden.

WASHINGTON, April 16.--The per-
sonal views Of the eight men who con-
stitute the presidents official board of
advisers, have had an important bear
ing upon his treatment of the Cuban
situation.
Mr.. Mckinley is not a man who has
dominated his cabinet. as have some
presidents, but in matters Of admin
strative policy of this kind, it is al
most as if a legislative council of nine
men determined the course of executive
action. Of course, no nine men can be
found who think alike on so great a
question as that involved in our con-
troversy with Spain about Cuba. And
while the present cabinet has been en-
t1rely harmonious and united during
the long and wearying contentious of
the last few months, it is no secret to
say that in reaching conclusions the
debates about the cabinet table have
sometimes been strong and sharp.
1t is only due to the fact that these
nine men had confidence in one an
ether, and realized that the same gem
eral purpose animated their delibera-
tons, that they have been able to reach
satisfactory conclusions and present a
united front to the world. They repre-
sent as a whole not only the Republi-
can party, but the more conservative
and responsible element Of that party.
From the first, it has been known as a
business mans cabinet" and given to
looking at questions from a business
point Of view.
In the recent deliberations of the adj
ministration, Mr.. Sherman goes to the
cabinet meetings. but is the first one
to leave, and it is whispered that the
most important secret councils are held
after his departure. In any event, he
has been well instructed as to the needs
Of caution, and the only recent inter-
view from him was one published few
weeks ago, saying that he liked the rest
and repose Of the state department
after his long years Of activity in the
senate.
It is generally believed that President
Mckinley paid a very high price to
crafty the senatorial aspirations Of
MI. Hanna in organizing the state de-
partment upon its present basis No
administration in many years has so
needed a strong head for it's depart
nent Of foreign affairs.
Business Members
The business members of the cabi-
net, Gage, Bliss and Gary, have occu-
pied in the cabinet discussions a slight
ly less radical peace position than Gov.
Long, and essentially on the same
lines. They typify the commercial in
terests of three great cities and I'M

There are no more discouraging diff

In an Interview the archdeacon,

white woman to cross the Rocky noun

Mrs. Canham, in describing the trip,
says: 1.-The journey was undertaken in
the month of March, with dogs and
sleds for the first $50 miles. in an open
skin boat for the next $50, and in a
barge towed by a small river steamer
the remaining 400 miles. We were near
iy four months on the way and pass
ed the last six weeks in small tent
on the bank of the mighty Yukon,
waiting for the arrival, of the steamer
kept busy in the meantime by the con-
slant arrival in small boats of white
men and Indians.
So far north did the archdeacon es-
.tablish his mission station after the
arrival of his wife, that the mail only
reached him twice a year. and the
Alaska Commercial company, by whom
the mail was carried, demurred at
bringing letters to such an out-of-the

state thaI in their opinion the question
is a very important one, which should
receive careful and thorough attention,
and that whatever system is adopted
should be made comprehensive enough
TO cover the entire District of Column
bia, and not only the principal streets,
but also minor streets, inhabited alleys
and terraces.
Some system should be adopted -

which the location of the street with
respect TO the Capitol would be indi-

Minor streets or alleys, they say,

should bear as the initial designation
the name of the principal street next

They recommend that the President
be authorized TO appoint three or more
citizens Ju prepare a list of names.
