Says the Minneapolis Times:

IF Mr.. Bryan We're president and the
Democratic party in power, tomorrow,
they would do nothing practical to aid
the cause of the Afrikanders They would
not because they could not, without in
volying this country in a war with Great
Britain--an Uncomfortable price to pay
If Mr.. Bryan and his party had been in
power there would have been action at
time when action could safely have
been taken, which would have saved
these two South African republics.
Bryan and his administration would
not have been engaged in the same
kind of war that Great Britain has
been conducting, to-wit, one against
the Filipino republic. That is the meat
in the coacoanut If the United States
had been doing right in the Philippines,
in Cuba, and in Porto Rico, she could
well have said something as to wha
England should do in South Africa
England would never have entered on
the South African job, without frs
making sure that the Mckinley admin

Secretary Gage is astonished
to find that there are $500, 900, 900
less gold in the country than he
has been estimating all along.
This will cut our per capita cir

make it less than that of most of
the great nations of the world. 1t

plant that money has been
scarce. But how about the re-

Attorney General G

Attorney General Griggs,
whose opinion in the army can
teen case has won him golden
opinions from legal shysters, is
said to have rendered another
opinion which will be held in the
secret archives of the War De-
partment until the right time
comes. This is to the effect that
when the provisional army ex-
pires by limitation on July 1,
1901, all the officers appointed to
that army will remain in service.
The points by which he reaches
this conclusion are so fine that
the ordinary layman cannot see
them at all.

the charge already made that the

Discoverer of Cape Nome.

pioneers of the northwest, arrlv-
ed in the city from his home at
Wallace, Idaho, Thursday, en-
route to Cape Nome in search OF
wealth. He claims to be the or
iginal discoverer of gold in the
now famous Cape Nome mining
district, and is returning at the
head of a party of 81 miners from
Wallace and vicinity to reap the
harvest of gold his discovery and
fearful hardships in the land OF
ice and snow so richly merit.
The life story of John Hum
NELL, who is known to almost
every pioneer mining prospector
of the northwest, reads like a
romance. Coming west from
Pennsylvania Al years ago he
has experienced more hardships
and been the modest hero OF
more thrilling adventures than
falls to the lot of ordinary NOR
tails. He says
II was the leader of the party
of 16 men who discovered Pixies
Peak, and the first discoverer OF
gold in that section of Colorado.
This was in 1859, and since that
time I have followed the life of a
miner and prospector and have
the distinction of being the orig
inal discoverer of three other
mining camps which have be-
come famous, namely Orben
camp, Or, Warner Basin and
Eagle Creek. / was also with
Grimes, who discovered the camp
at Idaho City, who was killed in
a fight with the Indians, and
helped to bury him. This was
in 1862. The fight took place on
Grimes creek, there being IL in

DE41H OF BICEY BEEGAN.
One of the Oldest Members of the Local
 Police Force

The death of Bicey Began, one of the lice force both in years and in time of service, has cast a gloom over the en- tire police department, by all the mem- bers of which MT. Began was highly esteemed and respected as a man and beloved as friend Especially are those saddened at police headquarters, where for eight years he had been sig nal officer. All of his time on duty when not out with the patrol wagon was spent in police headquarters, and his "reminiscences there during the inter- vals between the active duties of his position were always interesting to hear. He was a plain man and had gruff way, but was one of the kindest- hearted men that ever wore q police uniform Even the prisoners whom he brought in to the station house in the patrol wagon realized this, and some of the old rounders always listened grate- fully to his wholesome advice, if they did not always follow it. In his treat
 ment of prisoners he was wonderfully llind-hearted and it was only the tough est and most intractable ones that ever caused him to exert the great physical strength with which he was possessed. Even then his powerful arms handled them carefully, though effectually
 When an ambulance call took the police ambulance out to pick up an injured person "Bicey" as he was familiarly known, always accompanied it, and he
