THE GOLD SUPPLY.

Director of the Mint Roberts Predicts

NEW YORK, July 22.-George z.
Roberts, director of the mint, called at
the local essay Office recently. In dis
cussing the output OF gold from the
Klondike country, Mr.. Roberts said:
I'VE have already received S11,000000
in gold from the Klondike this calen-
dar year. That is as much as last years
entire receipts from that region
Amounted to, and from information re-
ceived from leading buyers of bullion

will reach s1S,000,0o0 or $4,000, 600.
We shall have all the gold we need
in these parts this year and in addition
to that we shall no doubt be able to
supply the metal to any one else who
desires TO purchase 1t.

The Steel Range Fraud.

A farmer living near Sank Centre
writes to the Avalanche about the
range peddlers. He says that he
bought a range last spring for $69.
He had paid $40 on the note that he
had given, but when collector called
with the note few days ago, the
endorsement on the back had been
obliterated. Consequently, he was
obliged to pay the full amount.
Others in his vicinity had had SINH
lar experience and he thought it
about time to warn the public. This
is an old story, and we confess that
we haven't much sympathy for the
fellow. The Avalanche, like other
papers, has no doubt repeatedly
warned its readers to beware of the
steel range peddler. This fellow pro-
badly thought that the Avalanche
didn't know what it was talking
about, and when he got chance he
threw his advice aside a1d bit like a
sucker. Now he has paid for his ex-
perience and dearly bought exper-
fence is about the only thing that can
pound facts into the heads of some
people.-Benson Monitor.

SIR ThOr1AS Upton.

The challenger for the American
cup, Sir Thomas Upton, has arrived,
and. with his yacht, the Shamrock, is
a centre of interest. Americans, of
course, are anxious to know about
the prospects for the Shamrock in
the coming race, and all our people
welcome Mr., Upton in his coming,
and wish him enjoyment-though
not successor his mission. Mr..
Upton is many times millionaire,
although still a young man. He is
the son of Scotch wage Garner, and
was born in Glasgow. Less than
forty years ago he was messenger
boy in stationer's store. At the
age of II he came to America as a
Storage passenger. His work here
was not profitable, and after spend
ing some time in South Carolina he
worked his way to New York as a
stoker, and then earned enough to
take him home in the .steerage. Hs
parents had saved about $500, and
this they invested in business for him
in small grocery store, He made a
success of it, and started other stores.
He went to London eventually, and
opened store there. Finally he
had 60 stores in London and there
we've APO Upton stores in Great Bri-
tain. He is largest owner of land in
Ceylon, where he employs 1000 ma
tives. His pay-rolls carry 10000
names. Mr.. Upton is known the
world over as the great tea man, and
"Lipton's Tea" is the most popular
trade name in England. He is very
charitable; at the time of the Queens
Jubilee he gave $125, 900 to fund to
feed the poor of London, and he re-
Gently gave $4,000 to the Princess
of Wales to open restaurants where
the poor can get good food at low
prices. He mas made his success by
dealing justly with all men. He likes
America and America likes him, and
even if he should win the long-cher-
ished cup, he will still have the good
will of our people.

1t may be of interest to politicians
to know what percentage of Min
nesota government places is credited
to the respective congressional dis
tricts. Since the advent of the Re-
publican administration most of the
appointments from Minnesota have
been outside the civil service, conse-
quently there have been very few
department appointments. In the
percentages of federal appointees
credited to the different districts we
do not count the Indian school and
police service in the second, sixth
and seventh districts, which would
undoubted increase the percentage in
those divisions; but for real equitable
division we commend the following
percentages to politicians who are

The Secret of His Success.

The following item taken from an
Iowa exchange might be perused with
profit by some of our young men who
appear to be afraid of work, or at
least will remain idle if they cannot
have their choice as to wages and
kind of labor. The Iowa paper says.
"He was a young chap of some six
teen summers and he walked into the
only store in Mason, Iowa, and spent
his last Is cents for some crackers
and cheese. His trousers barely
reached to his ankles while the entire
of his earthly possessions were tied
up in handkerchief. He seated
himself on the top of a barrel and
munched at the food which must be
his breastfast, dinner and supper till
work could be found. "Any work
around here?" he asked. what can
you do?" inquired roughly dressed
farmer who was just leaving the store
after purchasing some merchandise.
Anything to keep busy answered
the lad. He secured a job. This
was Leslie NJ. Shaw, and today he is
governor of Iowa and one of the rich
est men in the state. Anything to

Since Congress adjourned he has
been almost continuously on the
move, and has been from Massachu
sets to the state of Washington,
making it point to ind out the con-
dition of public sentiment. AS a
result of his investigation, he says
that the foreign policy of the admins
tration will be the principal issue in
the Presidential campaign. Of that
issue, he said: ''The sentiment of the
country is, in my opinion, oserwhelm-
ingly in favor of maintaining Ameri
can supremacy over every foot of ter
ritory which came to us as a result of
the'war with Spain. The anti-ex-
pansionists of the East have really
done President Mckinley good turn
by their examinations. For they
have aroused the sentiment of the
people and made an issue that will
be settled in the Presidential election
next year, and settled right, as every
question involving American dignity
and honor has always been settled
when submitted to the voters"

ADMIRAL DEWEY has finally given
out a true statement of the Won
Diederichs affair at Manila last year
His statement, however, is not such
as to stir up any trouble. He as
cribes the German admiral's attitude
more to ignorance of international
law than to anything else. The fol-
lowing vigorous language, however,
spoken by Admiral Dewey to a mes
senger of Won Diede1ichs, brought the
German to time
''What is it you want? Do you
want war? You know what that
means. If you do, you can have it in
five minutes. We are a peaceable
people, but we have got into a fight
now, and we are ready to go on. If
necessary we are ready to fight the

G.. A. PILLsBURY, of the noted miller
of Minneapolis, died Sunday. While
Minneapolis owes him a great debt
of gratitude for the successful man

also mourns his death. He was a
man of the strictest integrity, whose
standard of business morality was
especially high. Though he en-

relations with them were always
agreeable. He will be greatly missed

IT is stated that ever since the Off
ciaI announcement that President
Mckinley would visit st. Paul and
Minneapolis, as well as Chicago,
when be comes west, next month, the
President has been overwhelmed with
invitations, by mail, by wire and
verbally to visit other western cities.
While this proof of his personal pop
ularity is naturally gratifying to
President Mckinley, it is also embar-
rassing to him, because of his inabili-
ty to accept all the invitations and
his unwillingness to appear to dis
oriminate. He may decide to visit
other places, but the chances are that
he will not. His promise to visit
Chicago during its Autumn Festiva.
was obtained many months ago, and
it was his desire to assist in welcom
ing the Minnesota Volunteers home
from the Philippines, that caused
him to decide to go to Minneapolis
and St. Paul; his interest in arc
kindly feeling toward the volunteers
are known TO all who have come il
contact with him.
