that men who We're so sensitive on the
score of the public credit that they broke
with their party in 1896 can afford to stack
arms now and leave only their republican
allies on guard? Do men of business who
helped win the sound money victory under
Mr.. McKinleys leadership consider that
they have nothing to do this year to help
rlinch the fruits of that victory? Is this
time for rest? If Mr.. Bryan is not dfscour-
aged by defeat-and he is not-can the gold
democrats afford to become lax by success?
1t is at bottom a business proposition.
The gold democrats voted against Mr..
Bryan four years ago because they consid-
cred that the policies he advocated were
inimical to the interests of the country. The
great majority of them were men of prop

Dewey Still Dreaming.
From the Boston Herald.

Our Washington correspondent reports
that Admiral Dewey is still entranced by
the buZZing of the bee of ambition. He let's
it be seen that he is encouraged in his fond
hope by his experience in his western tour.
This is enigmatical. We thought 1t was un-
derstOod that the trip was to have no pollt-
ical significance. Yet the admiral appears
to have returned with his head full of sig
nificances. He heard and saw nothing but
good will. OF course not. He invited no
discrimination on account of politics. and
none was made. One would like to know
what could have been said to him to en-
courage his hope of being nominated at
Kansas City. We had not supposed that he
could not detect the quality of galley
yarn when he heard 1t ashore. The spec
tacle of the old sailors confidence in the
political favor of his countrymen is some
thing pathetic.

A NOTE OF WARNING.

A member of the local medical fra ternity called at the News office last Saturday and said that he was heartily in sympathy with the movement that is on foot in this city for better sani- tation. He approved the stand the News has taken iD the matter and thought our efforts had been produc- tive of much good. The Doctor sound ed a note of warning that had escaped us and we feel duty bound to convey it to our readers.
 "There are people in this town" said the Doctor, "who are drinking water that I know passes through two sinks or cess pools before it reaches them. This is dangerous" "You don't know" he continued, ''what an epidemic ofty- phoid fever is. Unless some extra per cautions are taken it is liable to break out here and it would be something terrible. At this season of the year people should boil every bit of water they use. A short spell of hot, dry weather might be attended with most disastrous results"
 The doctor then bowed himself out of our sauctum, leaving us the victim of doubts and fears that rose up in their power and caused us to grow sick at heart. We made a solemn resolve to drink no more water unless forced to by a big culumination of circum, stances.

 E.A. Adams is moving his family to Porcupine where he intends starting a laundry and bath house. We are sorry to lose Mir. and Mrs. Adams even for the summer, but hope that they may do we'll in their new home.
 Wm. Colgrove and Miles Creegan have returned from prospecting trip of about three weeks. They say they were a little too early as there is so much snow that they could not do much. However, they came back we'll pleased with their trip, which speaks well.
 L.Y. Wilson, an old-time friend of w. B. Stout, is building an addition to s. Weitzman's store building. MT. Weitzman's mercantile business is in creasing so fast that he has to enlarge his building.

 Mir. Warne of this place and Deputy Marshal Tanner of Skagway are both fighting the stationing of troops at this place. We can readily understand why Deputy Marshal Tanner should oppose the move, but it is not quite so clear why Mir.
