ANY man is foolish to think of start

sand dollars. But why should man
with a Thousand dollars want to 90 to
Alaska? That amount of money prop
erly invested in such a locality as
Princeton and worked with industry
and intelligence would make the in
weston an independent man in few
years. The chances of success in the
Alaska venture are about one in one
thousand. In the other case there are
no chances, no hardships, no perils Of
any kind. The man who has thou

tatoes in his cellar to-day has nice

Industry that the United States does
not protect. Last year the total ton
mage OF new vessels launched by Great
Britain was over million tons: the
total tonnage Of new vessels launched
by the United States was less tina one
fifth Of that of Great Britain. No
wonder England is mistress of the seas.
ltcertainly is high time forzus to take
a lesson from England and to protect
our merchant marine, and so dispute
with England her control of the carry
ing trade of the world, as we are al
ready beginning to dispute her
supremacy in the markets of the world

OUR nation is not in dancer. IT. ,

OUR nation is not in danger. It can
defy Spain on land or on sea, and can
meet all her attacks, either of treach-
cry or open assault. It is noticeable
now that all factioual feeling has been
eliminated and the populace stands
ready to support any stand taken by
the administration to uphold Americas
honor. The first call for troops would
show Spain she had approached the
danger line. Cuban independence may
be looked for before June.

THE organization of Klondyke min

porators didn't have the price of
square meal after, paying for their
articles of incorporation. AS in the
case of the iron mines, so in the case
of the gold mines will the history of
the transaction close with the miners
getting the worst of it and the specu-
lators coming out with the greater

1T IS not strange that congress has
evlnced but little interest in the mat
ter of Hawaiian annexation. Con-
gresham have had it so dinned into
their ears by their constituents that
the public was tired of and indignant
at the Cuban policy of the administra-
ton that they have felt little inclina-
ton to enter into a "vigorous foreign
policy" with the islands of the Pacific
while this island of the gulf stood
waiting at our doors and piteously de-
manding recognition. Hawaii is all
right in its place, but its place is en-
tirely secondary to that of Cuba.
