Gold Elsie.
| met one day in the long ago.
dear little maid whose name / know;
Shed ruby mouth, two sapphire eyes
nice enough nose for girl of her size
But, OH her curls!
That sweetest of girls
Had head of adorable golden curls!
Fair gold curls,
The cunningest quirls.
Oh! fell in love with her golden curls
But afterwards found to nv glad sur
prise,
That neither the curls nor nose nor ewes
Were of that little maiden the very best
part; She had what was better-a
golden heart.
Heart of gold
For young and old
Filled with wealth of love untold
Oh if l were old
And the world grew cold
Id hide myself in her heart or gold.

He Is Dead.

The many admirers of Mr.. Kipling

his terrible illness and the shock of
his daughters death made a perma-
nent change in the fabric of the man.
Certain 1t is that no one can recognize
anything of the old Kipling in this

not merely that power has weakened
or fed, it is that the fundamental char
acteristics are different. 1t is a trans
migration of souls.

on the heels of this follows Sails
bury's singing blow in Ireland's face.
Speaking Of imperial unity and the nee
essary subordination of imperial parts,
he pointed out the impossibility of
grant Of independence to Ireland since
independence had proved dangerous to
imperial interests in the Transvaal. In
an instant all the effects of friendly ad-
vances were dissipated. No one was
talking at the time of Irish indepen-
dence. The idea. no doubt. was neither
relinquished nor forgotten: but under
the soothing influence of recent conces-
sions of local home rule the sore spot
had ceased to chafe. But Ireland's
spirit fiared up furiously at this drag
ging in of a comparison seemingly in
vented only for blunt offensiveness,
and the Irish are alienated. outraged,
indignant.
No American will wonder at 1t; but
every one must be dumbfounded at the
worse than political stupidity of an
English premier who undoes at sin
gle tongue-stroke the laborious work
of England's parliament and England's
queen. Salisbury has never been
shrewd or able leader. The brains OF
the Conservative party are in other
heads than his. But no one dreamed
that Ireland would owe to him the har-
monizing OF its antagonistic political
factions and the renewal OF bitter
ness toward England which events had
for a time modified or aliayed.

IT Is a CAMPAIGN OF FACTS.
McKinley's statesmanship Has Elim-
mated Partisan Questions.

New York Mail and Express.
President Mckinley is quite right In be-
lieving that the people next fall will vote
on the facts as embodied In history rather
than on what may be said to them during
the campaign either by himself or other
less influential speakers The administra-
ton is going to be Judged at the polls by
what 1t has actually done. and not by
what IL has to say by word or mouth.
This is entirely right and proper and
never more so than at this particular per-
Tod when we are dealing with problems
that involve most vitality our national
future. The president has not met any
of these matters in a partial spirit. but
he has dealt with them in q broad, states
manlike way that has left no reason for
opposition or criticism except for the sake
of politics. 1t rests with the people. there
fore, to regard them in the same light,
and to give their verdict on the facts and
not on talk.
II Is a singular circumstance that no
question that now seems likely to be

should be made, a merely political issue.
Certainly the gold standard law Is not.

Interest In Local Mines.

While the placers of Alaska are now
exciting the greater part Of the atten-
ton which Is being devoted to mining
In this portion Of the state, after all
it Is the development of our own re-
sources in quartz mining which will
mean the most in the long run for the
people of Washington. Under the cir
cumstances existing here. however, the
rush to the Alaskan field has not d.
verted any considerable number of per-
sons or any considerable amount Of
capital which would otherwise have
sought Investment nearer home. In fact.
It may tend in great measure to excite
for the first time a genuine interest in
all mining matters, and thus tend to
the exploitation of our mineral re-
sources. in which our own citizens have
not heretofore displayed the active in
terest which the Importance of the
subject would have justified,
Unlike other parts of the Pacific
coast the western portion Of Washing
ton contains relatively few people who
take an active interest in mining. Fewer
of the original Pacific coast argonauts
settled here than In other places. the
percentage Of original forty Miners in
the population has always been small.
and the great bulk of the people resi-
dent here came from the states of the
East and Central West directly. not
putting in time en- route in the mining
states.
The rush to Dawson and to Cape
Nome has increased wonderfully the
interest of our home people in all min
ing matters, and has brought into this
state temporarily, and in some In
stances permanently, large number
OF men who have made mining their
business. While their interest Is at
present directed to the placer fields Of
the North. the mineral resources Of our
own state are also attracting more at
tention than ever before; and men are
| added daily to our population who know
something about mines and mining,
some Of whom are learning since their
arrival here for the first time that
| Washington has as great mineral re-
sources as any Of the other Pacific
coast mining states, and that the OPP
por,unity for the profitable Investment
Of capital In mines IS fully as great
here as 1t is IN Alaska; while IN the
development Of Washington mines

that she is now even more anxious to
get them back again. II Is said that
the Canadians in the service will re-
