If the estimate of $50, 00O,0 900 as
the winter output of the Klondike is
correct, what in the world is it asking
paltry government dole for to carry
its sick, hungry and unemployed over
TO spring? With such enormous pro-
auction rs that claimed it ought TO be
easy of accomplishment. The lucky
miners ought to show Iardor in caring for
the unlucky ones, and are usually not
backward in that expression of gener-
osity. The Klondike is rich enough
to be self-supporting and it should
aim at that independent standard in
stead of passing the hat around at
Washington every year as soon as
winter sets in.

No subject relating to railways is at
tracting more attention among engi.
neers of all kiuds than that of the
substitution of electricity for steam as
a motive power. That such substi-
tuition is inevitable within very few
years, is universally admitted With
the change will come an increase in
speed more than double the highest
rates attainable by steam, for the abil-
ity to move train of cars of regula.
ton size at the rate of 12O to 130 miles
an hour has been demonstrated re.
peatedly, and is now conceded by all
authorities. A recent writer in the
Cosmopolitan, Prof. Sydney H. Short,
who is recognized authority on the
subject, says that if the next fifteen
years witness as wonderful progress
in electrical science as the past fifteen
years have recorded, electricity will
supersede steam as the motive power
for even our trunk-line railroads. The
time between New York and Chicago
will be reduced to ten hours, and the
conditions of our business and social
life will readjust themselves to a
standard of 125 miles an hour inst cad

ard was just disappearing. noticed
one of our Indians standing by the
door, magnificent specimen of Q
man, over six feet tall and noted
warrior. Apparently he had just ar
rived, and nodded to him as we came
up, for we were great friends. 1t did
not occur to me that there was any
thing peculiar about his standing
there at the door, but his experience
was greater than mine--as the seque
will show.
just before we reached the tent, and
when perhaps twelve feet away from
it, one of the men stopped me mo-
ment to emphasize some remark, and
as 1 turned again the canvas flap of
the tent was thrust aside, and found
myself looking straight into the muz

things, but above all [ remember l

black hole was maddening. The time
seemed very long, but it could not
have been more than a second when L
saw flame leap from the muzzle of the
gun. l heard the ball whiz over my
shoulder: my Indian friend had seized
the muzzle of the rife at the very mo-
ment when the trigger was pulled.

spring. AS came through the door
like wild duck on the wing L saw
my Indian friend and the fourth man
of the gang struggling with Leonard.
They had just taken the rife away
from him, and moment later he
broke down and became hysterical.
The men assured me that the gun
had been accidentally discharged, and
although L knew better accepted the
explanation. Leonard's state was pit
liable. He seized my hand and press

walled, "Why did you hit me SO hard?"
For over an hour we worked to

With the extension of American
sovereignty to Porto Rico and Hawaii,
together with the prospect of pro-

the Philippines, new social and eco
nomic problems have arisen to tax the
genius of our native craftsmanship.
How to govern these new territories
in way that shall promote their own
welfare and advance the cause of edu-
cation and morals; how to imbue their
people with the true spirit of free in
stitutions and win them to the support
OF popular government; how to har-
monize the complex elements of race,
religion, custom and industry in
all these islands, thus enabling
them to flourish in amicable unity un
der the watchful protection of the
United States-these, surely, are ques-
lions which deserve and must receive
Bhe most solicitous attention from the
responsible public leaders of this
country.

The coal miners and operators of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsyl-
yania have given anotable illustration
of good sense and good feeling by
their settlement of wage differences,
thereby greatly lessening the danger
of labor troubles in these four states
for at least year, and perhaps much
longer. The agreement affects 100,-
900 miners and their employers. Some
mining operators in the Hooking Val
ley, Ohio, were not parties to the
agreement, but their area of possible
disturbance is limited. In Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania present rates
and wages will be continued; in Hi.
nois rates in dispute will be fixed by
arbitration. 1t is great victory fol
peaceful labor all round, and will dc
much good as potent example
against the recurrent strikes and dis.
putes which have threatened the gen.
