THE NEW GOLD FIELDS.

Tappan Adney, special cores
pondent of Golfers Weekly and
author of 1.-THE Klondike Stampede"
has timely article in that publication
of this week on the subject: "Cape
Nome and the New Gold Fields of
Alaska" The reports make Cape
Nome and the new gold fields in that
vicinity the richest spot on earth, but
Mr.. Adney reminds us that such pic
lures are drawn of every new Edo
rado,. or new found gold field, and
we must therefore look upon the
statements with reserve. He states,
however, that there is sufficient evil
dence from trustworthy sources on
which to base the assertion that the
Cape Nome territory has been as
greatly favored with the deposits of
nature as has the Klondike if in fact
it is not more richly endowed. Cape
Nome is situated on the northwest
coast of Alaska, on the north side of
the entrance of that arm of Behring
Sea known as Norton Sound, and is
about 100 miles from st. Michael.
One of its advantages THAT the gold
prospectors going there from this OF
any other country can land at the very
door of the mines, and then the eli

THE NAN WITH THE HOE.

-
The editor of the Keokuk County
News took a drive through the beau
tiful and fruitful fields surrounding
Sigourney the other day, stopped
and took dinner with one of the
many prosperous farmers in that
community, and then, to give ex-
preston to his feelings went back to
his den and penned these suggestive
and pointed words:
80, Edward Markham, get thee to
thy philosophical dungeon, and for
heavens sake stay there! The man
with the hoe does not want your
poetical assistance. This world
needs more men who are not afraid
of the hoe, and fewer men who teach
that labor is disgraeeful and that it
will not bring reward.

BRYAN,S BAD BREAK.

When the Boer commissioners were
at Omaha a non-partisan program
had been arranged, both republicans
and democrats participating in the
meeting, but Mr.. Bryan came unin-
vited and injected into the proceed
ings political harangue in which he
took occasion to arraign the admins
tration for not doing that which he
knows very we'll it could not do with
out involving our country in war with
Great Britain. One of the remarkable
statements which Mr.. Bryan made in
his talk was the following, referring
to the suggestion that the Beers might
emigrate to the United States: 81
wish," said Mr.. Bryan, "they could
come soon enough to help save this
country from the imperialism that is
driving them from South Africa" I"
The insinuation that the American
people are not intelligent and pat
riotic enough to take care of their
own country and that it is necessary
to import foreigners into the country
to prevent it from going to destruction
strikes the Burlington Hawkeye as
one that will challenge public attent-
ion and invite sharp criticism. The
people ofthe United States will gladly !
welcome the Beers as emigrants.
They are an Industrious, thrifty peo-
pie; but to publicly tell their envoys
that it is necessary for them to come
in order to save the United States
from Imperialism, in other words
from a monarchy and the crushing
out of American liberty, is atrocious
1t does not seem possible that Mr.
Bryan could have weighed his word:
carefully before making such re-
markable utterance. 1t is charitable
to suppose that in the intensity of hi'
desire to promote his political inte
rests he thoughtlessly let slip state
ment which his sober second though
win not indorse.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 2O.-A ru-
NOR has been current here for several
weeks that Hon. H. Clay Evans would
resign the pension commissionership
and seek nomination for congress
from this district. His friends em-
phatically deny the story, although
they freely admit that he has given
the president to understand that his
resignation can be had whenever the
president feels that he needs it.

WORDS. WORDS, WORDS.


Des Moines News: "Fine words
butter no parsnips," said Sancho
Panza.
Here are some of the rhetorical
fiourishes made at the closing session
of the Federation of Woman's Clubs
at Milwaukee,: 1.-THE federation
spoke, "leaving message of sym
pathy for all who have wrought with
sorrow laden hearts," of gratitude
to those who have been burden bear
ers for the worker;"~ to "all yoke
fellows everywhere our congratu-
lations for what has been accom-
plished;" greeting of coed cheer
for today and prophecy of good
hope for tomorrow"
Yet this federation denied admis-
sion to cultured woman who bore
credentials from both her local and
state club because she was of a slight
ly darker complexion than majority
of those present. What race than
the one represented by this woman
has wrought more diligently with
sorrow laden hearts?" Who more
than they have been burden bear
ers?" What race looks with greater
"good hope for tomorrow" With
those thoughts one turns from the
resolutions with feeling closely akin
to contempt.

SENATOR FRYE CONCLUDES
ENDS HIS ARGUMENT on THE SHIP
SUBSIDY BILL.
Explains the Provision Regarding
Bounty for FOreign-Built Vessels
and Answers Criticisms.

Mr.. Frye, during his argument in favor
Of the ship subsidy bill in the Senate yes
terday afternoon, while discussing that pro-
vision of the bill which enables foreign
built ships to be brought under the Ameri-
can flag and to enjoy portion of the pro-
posed subsidy under certain restrictions,
said it had been asserted that 100000 tons
Of foreign vessels would come in at once
under the provision as 1t now stands He
said it was his purpose to offer a substi-
tute for the present provision, SO that 1t
could be determined definitely just how
many foreign vessels would be admitted to
American registry.
Mr.. Hale interrupted his colleague to di-
rect his attention to a memorial Of ship
builders which he had received He said
he was in sympathy with the general pro-
visions of the BILL but admitted he was
troubled by that provision which enabled
foreign-built vessels to be brought under
the American flag to enjoy the proposed
strong protest against this provision of the
measure signed by forty or fifty ship build
ers, in the course of which the statement
was made that already parties are engaged
vessels which were to participate in the
proposed subsidy. II
Bounty on Foreign Ships.
1T Is said" added Mr. Hale that the
bounty for foreign-built ships will amount
to more than $3,000,000 year. 1 do not
think my colleague would look with favor
upon any such proposition as that
Mr.. Frye said there was only one trouble
with the statement made in the protest
and that was that it was not true. Under
the provisions of the pending bill" said he
Owners of foreign-buiit ships cannot draw
a cent of bounty until they construct in the
ship yards of this country an amount of
tonnage equal to that which they have
brought from abroad. Il
He believed a provision for the admission
of foreign-built ships under proper restric-
items was wise, because it would insure TO
the United States q respectable fleet of
merchant vessels within a reasonable time.
A serious handicap Of American ship
owners now was that they We're forced ia
pay 6 per cent upon their invested money.
while the British owners, for instance, had
to pay only 212 per cent interest. In a
measure this inequality would be remedied
by the pending bill.
He was satisfied that the operation of
the bill ultimately would prove to be a pro
found success. Such success could not
be achieved In five years or in ten but If
in thirty years all of our commerce were
carried in American bottoms it would be \
great achievement.
The Free Ship Provision,
Mr.. Foraker directed attention to obiec-
ticns urged against the bill directed partic-
u.arly to the free ship provision.
Mr.. Frye replied that he always had con.
tended against the doctrine of free ships
but when a previous subsidy BILL upon
which he had worked, had proved to be a
dead failure in Congress he had agreed to
