been wasted in getting into the coun-
try, in supporting life there under ter
ribe hardships and in getting out
again, to every dollar in gold that has
been brought out by the very few
lucky prospectors."
Discouraged and disheartened, many
of them wasted by disease, the major
ity of the Klondikers are coming back
to the States as fast as they can get
money enough to secure passage to
Vancouver or Seattle. These men ray
the average man can make more
money by working at home for dol
lar day. Wages were high there at
the beginning of the excitement, but
they have steadily been forced down
by the surplus of labor until now good
men, among them miners, carpenters
and cooks, are working for $50 a me nth
anu grub" Not only that, but for ev-
cry man working there are twenty
men, able, strong and willing, to take
his place. Hundreds of men, says a
Dawson City correspondent Of the Chi
cago Times-Herald, ARE camped upon
the hillsdes and trudge up and down
the creeks asking and ever asking for
work so as to save just enough money
to take them out of the country. The
work is very severe in both summer
and winter. Two shifts are worked OF
ten hours each, so the work can keep
up night and day while the high wa
ter lasts. Everyone seems only anxious
to get away from here"
The picture is dark enough. but the
future is still darker. The health out
look is extremely bad. The creeks, as
well as Dawson City proper, are infest-
ed with typhoid fever germs, and the
epidemic of typhoid that is sure to
come. and in fact has already begun,
will be more severe than the one last
year. Food at Dawson City is still
high. Condensed milk sells for dol
lar a can; sugar a dollar pound; but
ter two dollars a pound, and for fresh
meat sixty and seventy cents a pound
are the regular prices. The total wash
up of the season is estimated at $1S,-
900, 900, and the profits all go into the
pockets of few men.

Mr.. Kendrick may not have used just
this language, but that is the idea lie
sought to convey to the court. The
court, however, refused to recognize the
validity of the argument The law
might not be explicit on the subject
but common sense demanded that girl
should be protected from the undesra-
BILE attentions of a lover who inspired
her with hatred and disgust. The
question was, had the defendant made
himself nuisance to the complainant?
After weighing all the evidence, the
court held that he had, and that he
must discontinue his addresses to the
complainant or go to Blackwell's Island
for six months. The decision establishes
an interesting precedent. A young man

of too much insistence. He would bet

strained diplomatic relations between
the United Statesc and Italy that Great
ed such a furry of excitement in 1890.
1t will be remembered that in that year
a mob in New Orleans broke into the
city Jail and deliberately killed eleven
italians, six of whom had been ac-
quilted of the charge of murder and the
remainder of whom had been remanded
for a new trial. The mob included some
of the most prominent citizens of New
Orleans. They were exasperated by a
long series of murders, for which the
Malta was held responsible-no doubt
rightly so-and they believed that jus
tice had gone awry in the courts.
Some of the Italians killed were at the
time of their death still Italian subjects
Baron Fava, the Italian minister, was
instructed by his government to de-
mand indemnity for the families of the
dead, and further to demand the pun
ishment of the persons engaged in the
y
cult case, but Mr. Blaine, who was then
secretary of state, handled it with con-
summate skill. He first appealed to the
executive of Louisiana to punish the
leaders of the mob. The governor JUS
titled the lynching as a last resort, the
machinery of justice having failed, as
he alleged, through the bribery of the
jury. This left Mr. Blaine in rather
awkward predicament All he could
do was to assure the Italian minister
that the federal government had no
authority to interfere with the admin
istration of justice in any state and
could do nothing more than entertain
claim for indemnity. This was eminent
ly unsatisfactory to the Italian govern
ment, which could not understand why
in the enforcement of law the United
States was not superior to any single
state. Baron Faya kept insisting on
immediate reparation until Mr. Blaine,
with characteristic American spirit.
finally wrote to him: Il do not recog-
nize the right of any government to
tell the United States what 1t should
do; we have never received orders
from any foreign power and shall not
begin now. 1T is a matter of indiffer-
ence what persons in Italy may think
of our institutions. can not change
them; much less violate them"
The upshot of this was that Baron
Fava was recalled and Minister Porter
came home from Italy. The situation
looked serious for awhile, and the rel
alive naval strength of the two coun-
tries became constant subject of dis
cussion. But Italy presently cooled
of, accepted $4,000 indemnity and
called it square.

~ ONE of the organs that once

" to speed Alger on his way down
the grade. 1t is interesting to read
these journals-especially those of
them that knew it all the time" AS
a sample of these, the New York Fri
bune serves. That oracle arises to
remark that Alger really never did
contribute to the strength of the ad-
ministration."
In fact, intent On staying with the
band-wagon, the Tribune says: al
ger did not possess the confidence of
the country at large or of the military
establishment. In the army especially
his name was associated with a rec
ord which was far from mpregnable,
and which made it exceedingly irk-
some for officers differently regarded
to take his orders. In time of PEACE
no particular harm might have result
ed, but when the war broke out the risk
turned to misfortune"
That Is all true enough; 1t is ancient
history. The difference is that, only a
few weeks ago, newspapers of the Tri-
bune's class were denouncing the dem
ocratic newspapers although, in saying
precisely these things, they were tell
ing the truth about Alger.
