Reports from the far northwest
show that there may be some sur
prises in the cleanup in the various
mining camps. The Klondike is sure
to yield many more millions than last
season, because OF the labor saving
machinery. such as devices for rapid
thawing of the frozen earth and for
bringing the earth to the surface. At
Atlin, 1t is asserted on good authority,
the bench clPims will yield from 81
to sl2 cubic yard, and the Spruce
Creek bench claims will produce sls.-
100000. Most of the owners OF claims
on Spruce and other creeks have put
in hydraulic machinery and in this
way they have worked a large amount
OF ground.

The marriage of the Crown Prince of

The marriage Of the Crown Prince of
Japan to his cousin seems to have
been a mixture Of Japanese and Euro
pean ceremonies. Thus. the bride and
bridegroom were married in the an
cient court dress, and afterwards dom
ned western costume, and there was a
wedding breakfast with wedding cake.
The actual marriage ceremony in ia
pan is very simple. Its distinguishing
feature is what is termed the San san
ku-do-that is. literally, three times,
aine times" because both the BRIDE
groom and the bride drink three times
out Of each OF three wine-cups of dif-
ferent sizes. making nine times in all,
or, rather, they do not drink. but only
lift the cups to their lips. The wine"
is sake. mild alcoholic liquor.

would, however, not use the phrase l6
to !, but would declare for free coin
age at "the legal ratio"
It Is expected that the Silver Repub-
ucaA party Will ask to be consulted up
on the question of the financial plank.
The representatives Of that party al
ready here express a strong preference
for q positive declaration for the OLD
ratio. 1--WE want 10 to l." said former
Senator Dubois of Idaho today, "but
II they will put Towne on the ticket
with Bryan we will be willing to make,
concessions on the money plank.
II, however, sucn man rs Hill is.

silver platform. THUS you See" the
ex-senator added, "the personality Of
the vice presidential candidate may
have decided influence upon the plat
form and vice persa. Bryan and
Towne would be platform in them
selves"
Mr.. Bryan's position as outlined. by
those close in touch with him IL this:
He holds that the popularity Of the
Democratic ticket In 1895 was due
largely to the positive position taken on
the silver question, and that to take
backward step at this time would be
an eveidence of faltering and would
weaken the ticket In Its owR strong
holds without strengthening II where
there Is no hope Of winning. He even;
goes SO far rs to say that he regards
the platform as of more importance
than the ticket.
He thinks also If he should take any
other position, he would be accused OF
vaccllaton, and that, in short, every
things is to be lost by making Il change
while nothing Is to be gained by 1t.
Those who agree with Mr.. Bryan on
this point contend that there is no pos
sibility of his changing front before
the time arrives for the party's official
declaration, and they consider 1t pre-
posterous that the convention should
disregard his wishes on this point.
Hence they contend with great conf
dence that whether the Chicago plat
form is reatfirmed or not there will be
an unequivocal pronouncement for the
old ratio.
For the rest, the resolutions will de-

| Hope springs eternal in the human
| breast and therefore it is not surprls-
| ing to read that it is still springing in
the breasts Of Englishmen who have
Invested" in Confederate bonds. AT a
meeting of the British Capitalists AS
ISOLATION q few days ago in London the
secretary reported that members of the
society had in their possession 100000
600 worth Of Confederate bonds and $685.
100000 worth of Louisiana, Mississippi
and Virginia Confederate State bonds.
Il was decided to keep the bonds, owing
to an expression of the hope on the part
of some of the members present that
"the well-known honesty of the Amer
lean people, would assert itself finally
and insure the redemption of the $685.
000,000 worth Of paper referred to.
Sixty-f1ve million dollars would be a
neat haul, and the payment Of it would
speak we'll for the honesty of the Amer
lean people if they owed it. Those
bonds We're issued for the purpose of
obtaining money with which to make
war against the government of the
United States. The men who bought
them knew that they were specializing
in a scheme to destroy the great Amer
lean Republic. The Confederacy has
passed out of existence, The thing that
the English gentlemen who own $65,oO0-
900 worth of Confederate bonds sup
ported with their money is no more.
The United States has assumed none or
the Confederacy's responsibilities, and
has never been under a solitary moral
obligation to do So Therefore While
the English bondholders have a right
to the pleasures of hope they Will nave
to take 1t out in hoping.

MFR. OTNEY,S CONSISTENCY


Much is being made of the apparent
inconsistency of Richard Olney, who
has been preaching an impressive lit
tie sermon on the duty of voting. 1t
has been discovered that Mr.. Olney has
not been registered in Boston for many
years The Boston Journal says that
the board of election commissioners has
made a search of the lists as far back
as 1896 without finding any trace of the
name of the Cleveland cabinet men,
Der. Mr.. Olney has a summer home in
Falmouth, and supposing that he might
be a voter in that place, the Journal
inquired of the town clerk, who
answered that Mr.. Olney was not a
registered voter in Falmouth, and never
had been.
on the face of 1t this looks as IL Mr..
Olney was much better at preaching
than practicing, but probably his dis
covery that a man ought to vote this
year and vote for Bryan looks to him
much more important than it really is.
1t is expecting too much to expect con-
sistency of man who suddenly dis
covers that the duty of voting and the
duty of voting for Bryan are equally
binding.

GOOD Work IN CYPR US

| There are worse things than being
the annual report of the British High
Commissioner in Cyprus The revenue
| in Cyprus has increased steadily year
| by year, taxation has been greatly re-
| duced, and, after the payment of all
expenses and the Turkish subsidy, there
is handsome annual surplus. Ex-
ports are considerably in excess of i'm
ports. They consist of animals of diff
ferent kinds, carobs, wheat. barley
wine ETC., the United Kingdom, Egypt
Turkey and France being the chief Gus
toners in the order named. The chief
industry, in which 10000 peasants are
engaged, is the manufacture of wine,
which would be of much finer quality
than it is if capital were invested in the
improvement of the machinery used
Nothing could be better than the grapes,
crude earthen pots and skins to work
with. Silk manufacture is advancing
quickly, and is likely to become of great
value before long. There are also sponge
fisheries, which only require develop
mAnt to prove extremely remunerative
The grain crops are increasing year by
year The methods of agriculture, how
ever, are much the same as they were
in the days of the Pharaohs. Efforts
are being made to introduce a modifica-
ton of one of the Indian iron ploughs;
the Importance of good seed is being
taught, and modern machinery is being
imported for the olive-oil industry On
all sides there are to be found content
ment, peace and prosperity, where
twenty years ago all was poverty, mis-
cry and despair.

And her ears We're gemmed with jewels

Soon she heard his footprints coming,
And she drew from ont her bosom
With trembling hand 4 mirror,

There IS prohibitory law in Maine
and 1t is not well enforced. But if the
Rev. f. s. Pearson, of Cumberland
county, can do what he intends to do
the prohibitory law will be better en-
forced in Cumberland county than it
has been. Brother Pearson has been
elected sheriff He thinks there is law
enough to be effective, and is of the
opinion that it all depends upon the
man behind the law. He believes in
the fearless and strict enforcement of
the law, and he has been selected to do
the work. He intends to do it. He has
said: IT shall enter upon the most SOL
emn work of my life. For twenty eight
years l have waited and prayed that
some one would enforce the law here.
] trust the saloon men will close their
places and not force me to do it for
them but they must close them and
keep them closed"
Brother Pearson will have his hands
full He will find that it is one thing
to try to enforce the law and another
thing to enforce it, He will need the
wisdom of serrent, the pluck of a
gamecock and the obstinacy of mule,
and If he has all these he may even
then get beaten. His career as sheriff
will be watched with interest

TO the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
The paramount issue with Mr.. Bryan
is the free coinage of silver at is to l.
HE himself hath said it." This was
! Bryan's ultimatum to the Kansas City
| convention.
IF the Democratic convention will ac-
cept this candidate of the Populists and
Silver Republicans 1t must accept the
Populists platform of 16 to 1 by special
enactment
Again, at Topeka in his acceptance Of
fealty to his first clients, the Populists
and Silver Republicans. This is to his
credit as the attorney of the silver
trusts if not to his credit as man of
affairs He is faithful to his first re-
tainer by the silver trusts He will not
take fees from both sides. He will ac-
cept the Democratic clientele only upon
express condition that the Democratic
party by express declaration will unite
with the Populsts and Free Silverites
in their suit before the tribune of the
electorate.
While in his fealty to his first clients,
the Populists and Free Silverites, he is
doing strictly his professional duty to
them as their attorney, the Democratic
party is without an advocate. The
Democrats are in court without counsel
Willing or not, every Democrat must
join issue with this attorney of the sill
yer trusts or accept service as party
to their contention, and then he can be
heard only upon the terms made by this
attorney Of the free silver cause.
1t is certain Bryans ultimatum to the
Kansas City convention makes free
coinage, I, e., silver recommendation, the
paramount Issue with him. and it is
certain he viii do his full duty to his
Populist Free Silver clients upon this
rehearing of the stale issue Of 16 to 1.
Every Democrat then who would re-
main faithful to the hard-money prin-
ciples of the Democratic fathers, as
against the fiat-money heresy of the
Popuists, must answer for himself at
this rehearing and meet the contention
of this attorney of the silver trusts
with voice and vote against him and his
cause.
Bryan has been perfectly fair with us
Democrats He has given full notice CT
this issue, and if we permit judgment |
by default upon this issue he will take |
execution against fifty per cent. of the |
of the country in favor of his
clients, the silver trusts, and depreciate |
the other half Of the equities in the ru-
nous panic that must follow,
H.
The paramount issue declared at |
Kansas City is not made paramount by |
that mere declaration
