Steamship Farallon, approaching Fort Wrangel. Especial correspon- dence of The Republican, genial Harvey, ex-steward and present bar tender of the good ship Farallon, is at his wits end in his effort to infuse some life and good fellowship into this present lot of passengers. Even a good row would be a relief to the mo- notony. Harvey set half the passen- ger list by the ears yesterday by the statement that Vancouvers island was 900 miles long, Discussion ran high. The ladies asserted stoutly that if MT. Harvey said SO it was true, for he has a way with himself and his wares, in a case of seasickness for instance, that is very popular with those of the sex that are elderly and never young one is there aboard. The men, out ragged by the fragrant partiality, de clared that he couldn't tell the truth if he tried, and immediately proceeded to tell bigger lies about the length of VancOuvers island, than poor Har- vey had. Then they began to sneak off to the captain to get at the truth of the matter, until he was so both cred that he threatened to put liar vey in irons for the rest of the trip.
 On the last voyage up there was a wealthy man aboard who must have been good fellow, for he gave him. self into Harvey's hands for the ships entertainment Harvey accused him of stealing a toothp1ck and a court martial was summoned to try him. The arguments were brilliant-trust a sea lawyer for that-but the Jury was packed and the man was convict ed and sentenced to put up drinks for the crowd. He begged the court, in it's mercy, to reduce his sentence to a case of champagne. This was gra- ciously permitted and the convict got drunker than any one else. 1 sug- gested to Harvey that such court martial would very pleasantly enliven the dullness of this passage, but he said that he couldn't see any proper convict in sight but me. So I haven't mentioned the subject again, and I certainly didn't use another tooth pick, till we got to Skagu ay.
 On Friday, after waiting for several hours for slack tide, we passed the much dreaded Seymour's narrows. Within setting of a most beautiful scenery lies the wickedest looking piece of water I have ever seen. There are no waves, no ripples even, but thousands of little whirlpools, ever changing and shifting. The water, though under a clear sky, looked leaden and heavy, and it seemed to be slowly boiling and seething as far as one could see The devils cauldron would be an apt name for it. I have never seen anything in nature SO sul- len and so wicked looking.
 But when the tide is running it is one great whirlpool. No ship on earth could live in it, and the bones of many one lie somewhere in its depths. Here the N L. s. went down

It is a very peaceful town and a very unpleasant looking town, and I should think a good place to stay away from unless some definite and practicable means are soon devised for the trans portation of goods to Lake Teslin. which seems most unlikely now. Or unless a man brings his own pack train along with him, which would not pay. He could do better as to time and cost at Skaguay.

STAINS DEFEAT IS CERTAIN
Prof. Goldwin Smiths View Of the
 War and Its Probable Results.

Toronto, Ont, April 29.-Prof. Gold win Smith, writing on the present war and it's probable results, says
 Spain must withdraw from Cuba. Long, dire and sanguinary experience has proved that she cannot govern it to the advantage of the Cubans or to her own. Her own government, nomi- nally constitutional, is in reality un- constitutional and profoundly corrupt Her unfortunate dependencies have been made, to feel in full measure both | it's violence and it's corruption. Cuba has been given up to the rapacity of one military adventurer after another. The cup of bitterness is full, and the United States, if they are to act as the tutelary power of this continent, are we'll justified in intervention, alike in the interest of humanity and in that of trade

the country. A plain, direct educational qualification. modified by property quail fcation, and by a single concession in favor side during the civil war. would seem to be all that Louisiana needs. Both on her own account and on account of the other states that have similar problems to solve. it is to be hoped that plan alike simple and devoid of guile will yet be adopted.
 The States insists that poll tax of g. to be paid at least six months before the election, should become condition of suf- frage. This proposition has been adopted in Mississippi, and the people of that state, divided as they are over the understanding clause, are unit in support of the poll tax. The proposed poll tax would go to the schools, and the States says that ''the man who cannot pay $2 a year to the pub lie schools of the state and for the right of voting, is a pauper. and should not vote, while the man who can pay 1t and won't pay it is worse than a pauper-he is utterly unworthy of enjoying the privileges of American citizenship, and should be dis franchsed."

In commenting yesterday on the effort to divert the public lands in Alabama to special or higher education, the amount provided for common schools was origin ally written as 15O,OO0 acres, and the com- ments following were based upon those figures. The error was later discovered and changed to 25O,OOO. but the comments based upon it were overlooked. This slip of the pen does not change, however. the facts, except so far as the ratio of the amounts for the two classes of schools is concerned. The bill provides an appro- priation for normal schools and agricul- tural experiment schools more than twice in amount that provided for common schools. The Age-Herald does not wish to attack any class of educational insti- tutions now established In the state, but 1t does stand for the upbuilding of the common schools.

The Years KIOndike Rush.

In the March number of the American Monthly Review is a dispassionate and sensible estimate of the emigration to the klondike this year. and of it's results. The Review is confident that 100000 men will go to the new gold fields this year; and under no circumstances and in no way can their expenses be put at less than se00 head. These figures are for known necessaries only, and the actual outlay of each gold-seeker may considera- bly exceed the sum named. But for the sake of avoiding an over-estimate, let the average expenditure of each man be put at $600. This would make the total ex- penditure s60 ,0O0,Q00 The railways will get about $5, eco 900 of this great sum, the traders and hotel keepers, where outfits are procured, about $30,O00,0 900, the ship companies about s1O, ,oO0, ,OOO-leaving s15,- GOO ,OOO to go to those who transport freight over the passes in Alaska.
 What will the harvest be? The writer in the Review says that the Alaskan field cannot possibly yield in the short Alaskan season sum equivalent to the expendi- lures of the gold hunters; 30,O00,OOO is be- lieved by those qualified to judge to be a liberal estimate of the seasons yield. It is more likely to fall below that sum than to rise above it.
 The certainty that one-half of each mans expenditures will be lost, is not all There will be other losses. Many man will return from Alaskan hardships with shattered health, and many will not re- turn at all. The risks in that iuhospitable land, are very great; and yet with the facts and well-ascertained chances plain ly set forth, no one will be deterred from a shy at Fortune amid perpetual frosts and almost insurmountable difficulties. The gold hunter always thinks he will escape dangers and find pay dirt, while the next man will not. So the rush goes on, and nothing can stay 1t. Like any other fever 1t must run it's course.

Spain in 1895. MT Taylor is now a cana cidate for congress. and Is one of the iead- ing supporters of Mir. Bryan, on the ques- ton of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. MT. Taylor has grown away from Mir. Cleveland on this question. have no doubt that if Mir. Cleveland had thought MT. Taylor had any views in sympathy with the free coinage of silver he would have removed him from the court at Mad- ria in 1S96 It is true Mir. Taylor did not do any talking on the dlver question at that time 1t is not improbable that MT. Cleveland was not aware of his silver views, even if he had, any at that time. For the sake of harmony let 1t be supposed that MT. Taylor did not begin studying the silver question until after General Wood ford became his successor at Madrid in 1897. That being the case, Mir. Taylor is entitled to that much more credit AIr. Taylor strikes me as a man of force of character. It Is readily observed that he is not a practical politician There is no doubt as to his being good thinker. Hs is charming speaker, has fine presence. good voice, and has the happy faculty of saying great deal in short space. I have admired MT Taglor's position on the Cu- ban question since he ceased to be minis4 ter. MT. Taylor naturally came into the possession Of a gret many facts existing in Madrid that he cannot tell Gaining infor- nation as he did, 1t would not be becom- ing in him to say many things that would please the American people on the Cuban subject

Suffraqe in Louisiana.

] The sub-commfttee of the suffrage com mittee of the Louisiana constitutional con- vention has agreed upon a plan that does not lack novelty or variety. whatsoever else it may lack. It provides for eight classes of voters. As classified by the are.
 Voters under the educational qualifca- ton.
 2. Voters under the property qualifca- ti0n.
 8. Because their wives are property holders.
 A. Because their children are property holders.
 g. Because they were registered in 1868.
 G. Because while they were not regis tered in 1S6S they might have been if they had thought it worth while
 T. Because their ancestors were either registered in 1868 or might have been.
 B. Because of naturalization prior to the adoption of the constitution.
 Voters of the third class are new to American politics, except in the Indian country, where there are squaw-men. This is the nearest approach to class three, at present existing. And the voters of class seven are equally odd, for hereditary vot- CTS are unknown in this country. Even hereditary legislators are rare. The Cam eron dynasty in Pennsylvania was an at- tempt to institute hereditary legislators, but nowhere, at no time, have hereditary voters been attempted. 5 The Times-Democrat objects very bitterly to class eight, because it makes permanent citizens of the great class of illiterate Ital- fans in New Orleans, who have in past times been so useful to the politicians. In fact, the ward politician is having good deal to say in the construction of a con- stitution. He does not want a poll tax in New Orleans, because he would have to pay the tax himself for his heeers and supporters. An optional poll tax has been proposed, the police jury in each parish to determine whether they would have 1t or not. In New Orleans there is no police jury, so, of course. there would be no poll tax in that city.
 In very truth. all this scheming by New Orleans politicians is very unfortunate Louisiana should set pace that all the states can take.-, She should adopt a straightforward, simple and honest system that will command the confidence and sup port of thoughtful men in every section of

 Drawn for moment from her play, Watching grandmother frost cakes

 the force 1t might have done under the circumstances, but the incident serves to recall a bit of conversation overheard on the street a couple of weeks ago by the item snatcher. A couple of gentlemen who are known to own cows but single flower garden, were discussing the proposed COW law earnestly, when one of them was heard to say: Now, I am not very fond of ordi- nary sweet milk, but we have a COW up at our place which gives us something extra, and don't propose to stand idly by and let the blessing be taken away without a strug- gle. Why, this COW of ours actually gives milk with delicate flavor of crushed vio- lets about it, and very often my wife says she detects the odor of altar of roses, and as soon as summer comes I am going to make a contract to supply all the soda founts and milk shake joints in town with the cream.
