THE NOME GOLD FIELDS

The first map folder or circular respect
ing the Klondike gold strike OF 1898 was
issued by the Northern Pacific Railway.
1t is more than a coincidence that the first
map iolder or pamphlet OF the Nome Min
ing district comes from the same source.
The present folder not only contains q
good map OF the Nome district but is em.
bellished with several cuts Of views at
Nome City and on the beach where the
method OF mining is clearly shown. All
Information obtainable regarding sailing
dates from Seattle and Tacoma, through
rates, etc., is given in this book and the
public cautioned TO 60 to the agents OF the
n. p. Ry., who are supplied with diagrams
OF the Alaska Steamers, and arrange in
advance for their accommodations rather
than put off this very important business
until they reach Puget Sound. There is no
doubt but what there will be a very con-
siderable passenger business from the mid
die and eastern states and a very heavy
business from the Pacific Coast States to
the Nome district next spring.
For folders, rates, ETC.. call on A. D. Edgar,
General Agent n. p. Helena, Montana, or
Chas. s. Fee, General Passenger Agent, st.
Paul, Mimi, and he will mail you the
Nome folder.

FIRM, HONEST AND UPRIGHT.

At this time, when every big and
little yellow organ of Democracy is
endeavoring to locate some weak
spot in President Mckinley IL iscom,
forting to find SO stanch a champion
and defender ~ the Hon. Frank
Jones OF New Hampshire. The testi'
mony of such a man rs to William
McKinley's firmness will have more
weight than the drivel Of n dozeT
Democratic newspapers. Who Mr.
Tones IL and what he has to say
about President Mckinley appeared
in last weeks Leslie's Weekly and Il
as follows:
Hon. Frank Jones, the undisputet
Democratic leader Of New Hampshir,
for a quarter OF a century, a bosom
friend Of ex-President Cleveland, ant
for sixteen years up to 1896 the chair
man Of the New Hampshire delega

The Tariff a Live Issue.

Under this heading the Hon. Albert j.
Hopkins, representative in congress from
Illinois. contributes an interesting article
to the Forum. Rightly he combats the
view that the tariff has been taken out OF
politics and relegated to the domain OF
academic discussion. Neither does he be-
lieve that the subject ofinport duties is
ever going to be referred to n noh-partisan
commission acting Independently of con.
gress. A tariff commission vested with
these powers could not be created under
the constitution having this for its object
is a long way of, il not altogether imprac.
ticable.
The tariff will cease to be a live issue
only when American Free Traders cease to
be SOLICITORS in behalf Of foreign producers,
cease their clamor for Unrestricted foreign
competition, and cease their denunciation
OF protection as robbery OF the many for
the benefit OF the few. II in the next eight
years the Democrats should elect u presi'
dent and obtain working majorities In both
branches OF congress, does anybody sup
pose thai the Dingley Tariff law would b,
allowed to remain on the federal statute
books? Democratic opposition to a pro
~tective tariff is not dead; it is only ASLEEP
or what is more nearly the fact, merely
playing postum"
The tariff is a live issue and it must re
main alive until the two dominant partie,
are in accord on the question OF an eco
monte policy that shall secure TO domesti,
industry the full possession OF the domes
tic market.

And now come the western gov
srnors to the convention held In Salt
Lake City last week to consider the
leasing proposition with resolutions
strongly opposing the leasing OF the
public lands by the general govern
ment and demanding the cession OF
such lands to the several states,
should any change in the present
system be made. As the older states
would oppose the cedlng proposition
there is little likelihood OF any change
from the land system now In vogue.
Not long since a labor organization
down east protested against the ced-
Ing OF public lands to the several
states OF the west presumably on the
ground II they wished to go west
and take up land they preferred to
do SO under laws and rules enacted
by the general government which are
very liberal.

He has sent out a party himself. Mr..
David J. Walters is now on his way to
Japan, where a special steamer will be

Haeckle believes him.
If the ape-like man is not in Java, Mr..
Vanderbilt's agent will search the forests

convinced Of that fact. The Pithecan-
thropus must be found or dismissed from
