DOUBTS HERSELF.
English Sentiment Divided ION Cues
ton of Militarism.


The mind Of England herself is d.
vided as to the justice Of the war which
she is waging against the Boer repub-
lies in South Africa, some Of the most
severe critics Of the policy OF the Brit
ish government being British sub
jects. 1t appears, from an article pub
lished in the April number Of the North
American Review, from the pen Of Mr..
F. Madison, one of the representa-
tives OF the interests Of labor in the
house of commons, that British work
men as a class are opposed to the at
tempt which their country is making
to deprive the Beers of their indie
pendence. Mr.. Madison explains the
reasons for this opposition. In the first
place, the British workman has had
TO wait long for such political privi-
leges as he enjoys, and he does not see
why the Uitlanders should not exercise
the same patience as was demanded Of
him. Then the war is regarded as the
outcome Of a capitalist cOnpirascy. and
ii is held that recourse might have
been had to arbitration, while they
dread the spirit of militarism which
war fosters. Mr.. Madison says:
The real fear is not SO much what
war costs in blood and extra taxation
as the militarism 1t sets up Already,
! the strain on our resources caused by
the campaign in South Africa has be-
gun to clOthe with flesh those shadOwy
hints at CONSUMPTION which have Oc-
casionaIIy of late been thrown out. It
is surely a dear price TO pay for add
| ing two republics 10 the empire, even
though it does increase the profits Of
gold mining from 10 to 10 per cent. Be

TO doubt the markets" policy of Mr..
/ Chamberlain, and well they may. As
the Financial RefOrmer showed some
I few months ago, this inflated imper-
| ialism does not pay. From 1873 70 1894
/ the naval and military expenditure was
/ S1S8, 080 900; from 1893 10 1898, it rose
TO s1S7, 058, 600, the difference between
| these two periods of five years being
an increase of e4s, 1856, 600 during the
! latter term. With the exports Of Brit
! ism produce to all our colonies and pos
! sessions, it was just the reverse. Thus,
| from 1879 to 1884, the exports amounted
| to S403, 799, coo, while from 1893 10 1893
the total fell to &391, 225, 900, a decrease
! of eli. 574, 600 These figures do not
make up a good balance sheet, and men
now realize the hard fact that British
/ trade in the main is done much nearer
( home, and that we had better pay
more attention TO our industrial equip
ment- The real battle Of the future win
be in the workshop, and it is technical
| education, not military service, which
will give US our supremacy over conti-
mental and American competitors. This
| is how the workers reason, and II leads
them to fear the spread Of militarism.
So long as the government encourages
the idea that the empire is in danger.
CONSUMPTION viii excite little concern,
but the moment ii is put forward as a
| serious proposal the. work people OF
| the country viii not hesitate in their
! resistance to it."

and the. result will determine the ques-
ton of gain or loss.
The individual cost in these in
stances was rightly reckoned at from
SOU 10 $1,000. 1t viii be seen readily
that the output of the camp must have
oaen fabulous even 10 have equaled
cne aggregate Of expense. The fallacy
or this method of reckoning lies in this
that it is not fair to measure against
the output Of camp the total expense
or all the people in it. or TO assume
that because the outfit of an individual
| cost $1,000 at the beginning of the rush
II VIII continue to remain at this fig
ure Again as matter of fact, the
output of the camp increases steadily
as compared with a fixed amount Of
labor because of the increased efficiency
of that labor through the Introduction
OF better methods.
In any business enterprise we ex-
pect a large number of failures as a
matter of course. The figures of the
commercial agencies show that but one
OF ten enterprises is carried to success.
AS a cold-blooded business proposition.
therefore, Alaska mining is as good a
4 business venture as merchandising or
farming. WHAT is more, the proportion
of success to failure in Alaska is really
! greater than one TO ten The five are
caTpentel1ng, keeping saloon, working
/ for others. or waiting for something to
turn up. The failure or success of the
! five should not be included in the min
! er'S account. It is evident that with
/ the smaller number to add items to the
expense account the ratio of expense to
return would be materially lessened in
! the miners favor
Another fact against the statement
/ that the Alaska mines do not pay is
the shOrtnees Of the period on which
/ estimates are based. No man in ordi-
nary business expects to make a profit
of 100 per cent the first year on the
capital invested. Usually a much long
er time elapses before profit is reached.
| The conditions of mining in Alaska are
such that no man can expect ma
/ terial return from his claim until he
has been in the country two years. As
| a rule, it takes year to learn TO pros
pect and to find a paying claim. This
accomplished, at least season must
be spent in developing and getting the
/ pay dirt into the dumps. AT the be-
/ ginning of the second season the real
cleanup begins, and the miner finds
: his ultimate return 1t is obvious
| therefore, that the returns from a sin
/ gle Especially as the mines have
been operated less than three years al
together-are too incomplete to consti-
tute a correct basis of estimate"

% IN ALASKA.
Mining Considered as CoId-blooded
Business Proposition.


CWarren Cheney, in Ainslee's.)
If, then, there is gold in Alaska that
viii take years in the finding, and the
ponlation at present and to be indi-
Gates permanent white occupation of
the country, it is extremely pertinent
TO inquire whether or not it is worth
while to try under the existing condi
tons to get this gold. This is not so
easy question to decide as would APP
pear. Most writers on the subject have
been inclined to take a pessimistic
view The waste Of wealth, energy and
money resultant from the unrea soning
haste of gold seekers, the rigorous con-
dft1onS of climate, the natural mac
feasibility of Alaska limiting the search
to the people fitted TO undertake it.
have all combined TO make prophets
gloomy and advisers sour. 1t must be
admitted, too. that the proportion Of
success to failure has been pitiably
small. 1t is probably large estimate
to allow that one in ten of the gross
number of the Adventures has taken
as much out of the mines as he put
in This would seem TO show conclu-
sively that mining in the Yukon does
not pay. But a careful consideration
of the conditions of the case will reveal
that this is not necessarily true The
general argument against runs some
what thus: The output of gold from
a given camp amounts to a given fig
ure for given time. A stated num-
Der of people has been in the camp
during this period. II has cost each
one of these people certain sum for
transportation. outfit and maintenance
during the time allowed. Divide the
total return by the number of people
and thus get the return per man. Com
pare this with the cost per Individual.

the end of the cord through, and then
knot it. This makes much the best
fastening.
To play: Toss up to see which player
shall have the choice of court The,
courts consis. of half the circle about
the pole. If the winner of the toss pre-
fer ne may forfeit the choice of court
and choose in which direction he will
wind the ball. After deciding this point
the two players take position in their
respective courts. con no account
must they make an off-side play by
trespassing into the court Of an oppon-
ent) The player to whom has fallen
the choice of direction now begins the
game by knocking the ball around the
pole in either direction he may desire.
His object is now to continue the play
until the cord is entirely wound round
the pole. His opponents play is to, if
possible. interrupt this and start the
ball in the opposite direction. The last
decisive turn of the cord which brings
the ball against the pole must be above
the black ring mentioned If a player
strike the cord above the bali, and so
winding it around his racket and stop
ping il altogether, his opponent is all
lowed a free serve.

Cookery in Bolivia.

The stoves of the Bolivian Indians
are curious things. A hole Is dug in
the ground about eighteen inches deep
and foot square, and over this Is
built roof of clay with holes of diff
ferent sizes to receive the various
cooking pots. Roasting Is done on
spits passed through the holes. so that
the meat comes out very much smoked
unless care Is taken to have only live
Goals at the bottom of the oven.
The national dish and the common
food of the masses Is "chupe," sort
of first cousin to the Irish stew. 1t Is
a conglomerate, composed of irregu-
lar constituents from the animal and
vegetable kingdoms-a mess of NUT
ton and such other meats as are avail
able; chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes.
carrots, barley. corn, rice, onions.
yams, etc, chopped up, highly sea-
soned with peppers and herbs, and
stewed to a consistency of porridge.

SINNERS In the pot until the next. II
the fire goes out the "chupe" Is al
lowed to cool, but 1t is warmed up
again and new supply of the ingred-
tents added to the water-logged and
greasy stuff for the next meal. In the
cities, at the hotels and restaurants,
where there are French or Swiss
cooks, the "chupe" is savory and pal
atable, but the further you go from
the centres of civilization the worse
1t gets. One eats it at first under pro-
test, then from necessity and only to
escape starvation.-Chicago Record.
