Affidavit Maker Mcbride cer- tainly stabs the clerk of the court and the judge as well, under the fifth rib. The reflections, by i'm plication, upon both the principal and the subordinate are not to the credit of the affidavit maker. A condition of affairs that seems to call for the making of such affi- davits needs reforming. The chronic affidavit maker, of which Mcbride seems to be an uncomely type, is a nuisance that demands abatement. The average affidavit is not worth the paper on which it is written, and af1idavits of the Mcbride kind cannot.in any way help anybody, except in that they expose the weakness and incapacity of not only the makers, but of those whom they are intended to assist.

FLASHING THE RICH.

The pen flashing which certain Mrs. Sarah B. Harris of Chicago, has lately administered John D. Rockefeller tends far it tends at all, to dscour- age the rich from contributing to the establishment of institutions from which the poor will derive the principal benefit. Would it not be wiser to educate the rich up to the habit of giving While Mrs. Har- ris states self-evident proposition when she says that if Mir. Rockefeller were really benevolent he would reduce the price of oil below fifty per cent profit the public has to deal with the stubborn fact that Mr. Rockefeller enjoys with every other the right to charge price for his product that he make people pay. The remedy of the public lies in preventing by law the creation of conditions that enable to dictate to S0OO000O people the price they shall pay for oil other product of indus try. But as Mir. Rockefeller collect fifty per cent. profit on oil, is it not the part of wisdom to bring back into the channels of trade large part of that profit as may be possible? Fulmnations against the rich do good. The effect is to dry up whatever fountains of justice they may possess. If the rich utterly ridiculous as they are repre- sented being, the middle class and the poor should not be influenced by their example. No great sym pathy be felt for the poor girl who denies herself nutritious food that her slender earnings may purchase some cheap imitation of the dress of the rich. We note that recently clergymen of several cities have severely cenSureu the practce or the rlcn Tn excnang ing costly presents the occasions of weddings. Now the fact be denied that these presents the means of sustaining industries by which wage earners gain their living Why cut off this flow of wealth from the rich to the poor? The rich, he sad paid extravagant prices for the making of dresses. Who gets the benefit of this extravaganza if the dress maker does not? There are dressmakers for the rich and dressmakers for the poor, and neither estab fishes prices for the other.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.

England was deeply dejected from contemplating the American commercial invasion until statistics were published recently which showed that of the total volume of manufactures bought and sold in in ternational commerce ($4,OOOOOOOO0 annually) the United Kingdom made and exported about onefourth, Germany one-ffth, France one-eighh and the United States onetenth Since these figures out British manufacturers have been more cheerful. They still hold good lead and the dreaded rival, Jonathan, is only in fourth place, says exchange.
 But o. P. Austin chief of the Bureau of Statistics of the United States Treasury department, has just published some details about American manufactures that will tend to temper the British jubaon. For he states that of the GOO worth of manufactured goods exported by the United States last year. less than one-fourth went to the United Kingdom and one-half to British territory. In other worlds while the British manufacturers still hold their foreign trade the American manufacturer is cutting deeply in their domestic trade. It is little wonder that Chamberlains protective tariff scheme found favor in England
 The growth of manufacturing in the United States since 1860 has been astounding. During that time this country has passed from the bottom to the top of the comparative list, and far in the lead. Population has increased so rapidly, however, that the great bulk of these manufactured goods has been consumed at home Our internal commerce is pro digious We consume annually about $S SOOO,OOO,0 900 worth of manufactures and of this total only five per cent comes from foreign lands while the value of the goods which we send abroad just about equals the imported manufactured goods consumed in this country.
 The United States sooner or later, will take the lead in foreign commerce. for has great natural ad vanages over al! competitors. It produces the raw material which our factories turn into manufactured goods. We produce more pg-iron than Ger many the United Kingdom and Belgium combined. In the production of copper cotton and mineral oil we also hold first rank. Our finer manufactures, such watches, sewing machines, typewriters, ma chnery and scientific instruments also going abroad in vast quantities. We only at the begin ming of our commercial growth

A QUESTION OF "BRIBERY."

"If you wait thirty days I can get a pump here that will throw six times as much water" These are the words of Councilman Stevens, as reported in the paper over which he is supposed to 'preside.' The words were spoken at the last meeting of the city council with reference to the purchase of the Silsby fire engine from Mr. Moses Mir. Stevens, it was cur rently reported, interested in the sale of pump ing plant to the city He wanted thirty days he says, to complete the deal He offered nothing tan gble; explanations were vouchsafed; when he found that his fat-witted plan about to fail, his last resort to brother councilman of hav- ing "approached" him. The other councilman had said there would be something in it" for Stevens if he would vote for the purchase of the Moses enginel But Mr. Stevens scorned the ofer because appears that he wanted thirty days in which to sell pump in which he had prospective interest, to the city, It is we'll that Mr. Stevens made the explanation for without it no one who knows him would believe that he would refuse anything that was offered. MT. Stevens susceptibility to tangible things cannot be questioned.
 But apart from this, Mir. Stevens, who held out the hope of small bribe to you? What is the name of the councilman who approached" such an i'm .maculate thing as yourself? What did he offer you Was it cash or post obit? It must have been the latter Do you stand for bribes or attempted bribes Nr. Stevens? Or were you just making one of your

seems to us that the mining laws might we'll be changed in the in- terest of the man who mines, and not for the man whose sole ambi- tion is to speculate by tying up large areas of ground until by some chance he is able to dispose of his holdings.
 If our mining laws were some- what less loose, vague and unsatis- factory deal more develop ment work would be done, and ground which is now untouched would be made to yield the golden store. But it is said by some that it is no use to attempt to secure changes in the mining laws. Con- gress, it is said, will not listen to us. Perhaps not, but, granted that changes are needed, we will never receive consideration until we make a presentation of our case.

Utter hypocrisy, the sham and the mountebanka are we'll exemplified by 8 local publication, which makes grand stand" play for the wage earner. Its "efforts" will be ap- preciated when it is known that the publication referred to never paid fair wages to anyone, unless under. compulsion and the fear of the law.

CHANGES MIGHT BE MADE.

There can be but small doubt that this section of Alaska needs special mining laws. The United States mining laws, together with state legislation doubt work all right elsewhere, but in Alaska must take the mining laws we find them. For instance, the idea of stalking or relocating claims January of each year in country, where the climatic conditions are severe as they here is an absurdity. The date should be changed, say, to July1. Then our methods of doing assessment work are sham. It

The question of irrigation is a
great one that is given bat little
thought. Generally speaking very
little is known about it. Guy E.
Mitchell, editor of the Homemaker.
in recent address, said: "Never
a season goes by even IN the best
watered districts Of the rain belt
that there is not some period OF
plant growth where the judicious
application Of water would very
greatly increase the yield, and in
some years double and treble it. 1t
takes only a year Of excessive
drought among eastern farmers to
get them talking about irrigation,
but little comes Of it for the reason
that they are entirely un-
familiar with irrigation methods
and have no idea how to

plementing the natural water sup
ply 1t is estimated that there
100 million acres in the west alone
that could be irrigated which
would add wealth almost in
calculable to this great country of
ours.
