There is an old allegorical picture of a girl scared at a grasshopper. but in the act of heedlessiy treading on a snake.

 What would you and your followers do if Grover Cleveland should be nomi- mated for President?''
 Suppose the moon is made of green cheese and suppose it should fall at your feet. Would you stop to consider now whether or not you would eat the cheese? There is no more probability of the nomination of Cleveland than there is of the moon falling at your feet as a hunk of green cheese"

From AlsshA.

From far-away Skagway comes acopy of The Daily Alaskan, and it's four pages are filled with information about that re- mote portion Of Uncle Sam's dominion a country which was once regarded as a useless addition to ourterritory, but that opinion no longer holds good. In truth, hardly any portion ofOur country has improved and developed more than Alaska has, and none has caused more surprises. From being looked on as a vast area of snow and ice, uninhabitable for any but EsquimauX and reindeer, with out anything to excuse its existence on the globe, it has developed into a land wonderfully lyreSources, agriculture, hor- ticultural, mineral and timber, as well as a country rich in fish and game.
 It was not at all bad trade when our government bought the Territory, much as Mir. Steward was cenSured for the bargain Years were required, it is true, Co get before the world fair lnowl- edge of the possibilities and the certain ties of that region, and it Is really only within a very recent period that the half has been told and proven about Alaska. Doubtless there have been exag- gerated claims put fourth with regard Co the country but enough is known to open the eyes otthose who have noty studied the accounts of what has been discovered up there. It is really won derful country and new wonders are continually developing. Montgomery Nla.1 Daily Advertiser.
