perfection in our internal affairs and
the securing Of justice to all our citi-

present danger from abroad which is
made to demand larger armies and IN

imperialistc realm.
There are several candidates for this

THE GAZETTE is a populist paper.
1t is populist paper which does not
believe that its party has served its
time of usefulness. 1t stands for the
radicalism Of popullsm and as a gen
eral proposition and under ordinary
conditions is decidedly opposed to the
REIMBURSEMENT of legislative offices to
democratic candidate in effecting a
union Of forces, But while acknowl-
edging that MIR. Duval is a democrat
and holding these opinions, we can put
him before the people with bold front
and without conscientious qualm.
1t is generally admitted that in fair
ness we must at some points make
some concessions to the democrats this
year. 1t is but the part of populist
wisdom then to urge such democrats
as have done most to bring their party
to itspresent declarations so similar to
our own, and who stand with clearness
and fearlessness for all that we stand
for-radical democrats who place their
adherance to principles above mere
party regularity.
Such democrat is Mr.. Duval. AL
though never politician in the usual
acceptance of that term, he kept
abreast Of the times and exercised his
rights and duties Of citizenship. His
inclinatiOns were with the democratic
party, but was never active until the
issue Of the money question was raised.
Then he felt there was an issue worthy
or bis tune and attention although his
party's president was helping the re-
publicans in opposition. From that
time to this in every campaign his voice
has been raised in support of every
measure urged by the popuIists of
Kansas. In 1898 he was about the

and the difference I have set aside as o
sinking fund from which to pay the taxes

if you should, your inference would be quite
correct; indeed, such unanimity of sent

of rigidly observed neutrality, with the re-
suit that my second warehouse has already
begun to fill rapidly.
But I have still no fear of the outcome;
else, I should throw away these manuscripts
instead of storing them; but as it is I think

Seattle, sWash.-A great many people

fass. Agt., Great Northern Ry., City.-Sir:
IN reply to yours Of the 9th inst, I have
me honor to submit the following data
which l trust will be satisfactory. This Of
ice was opened o July 18th, 1898. Since
That date there have been s,20s separats in

eighteen million five hundred and five thou
sand dollars; one-third of which wat re-
celyed during the first fiscal year ended

The comparative average values per ounce
of Klondike and Cape Nome gold are a fol-
lows: $3.50 per ounce Klondike; SIS. so per
n Cape Nome.
In my Judgment the output for 1900 viii
easily double that Of 1899. In my prepare
tions for next season I am anticipating at
least twenty millions for this office alone,
on q basis Of thirty millions as the entire
output Of Alaska and the Northwest Terri
tory. All indications lead me to believe
that Cape Nome and its immediate vicinity
Will equal the Klondike in amount of pro-

ing of the Cleveland branch of the
National Association of Rod Mill
Workers Sunday night it was decided
to inaugura1e a strike in the four
mills of the American Steel & Wire
company in this city this morning.
The strike here will throw 1000 men
out of employment and the number
affected in other states will be large.
The strike was brought about by the
demand of the workers for u substan-
tial advance in wages, a much greater
advance than the Tx per cent. made
voluntarily by the company last week.
