THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

It Is reason for congratulation that
the head Of the Republican state ticket
has with him as accompanying candi-
dates list of gentlemen who will well
bear the scrutiny and investigation
which comes to men who desire official
positions. In every instance they are
cordially supported by their home
friends, several of them having won
their way to official promotion through
faithful and intelligent service rendered
in other official state relations. The
Republicans Of Michigan need have no
fear as to the personal strength Of
their candidates before the people, nor
as to their ability to well perform the
duties that will come to them after
their election.

Hanged Himself In a Church.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 27.-The
body Of Daniel Van Fluyter, who came
here from Chicago few weeks ago,
was found hanging to beam in the
new Polish Catholic church, which is
just in process of erection. Despond-
ency caused by drink is thought to be
the cause. He is said to leave Wild
ow in Chicago.

The fact that many of the workers
in the Republican ranks throughout
the state were found to be lined up
for Mr.. Warner for governor, has
given rise to the charge that he was
in the hands of the machine" There
is nothing further from the truth.
The fact is that these workers were
brought in by Mr.. Warner instead Of
the workers bringing him in. He
made his own canvass, and by his
good fellowship and clean record won
his own nomination.-Judge Lamb,

FROM time to time. as winter advances. more or less authentic ports are heard of many hard-up people in Fairbanks. Within the week all arrival from there says the number of men who do not know where their next meal is to come from is increasing and IS rlpidly becoming alarming. In this con- nection it is well to remember that this state of affairs is no evidence of the camps interiority. It only demonstrates that population has outrun development. And 1t is also especially well to remember that the fact of these men being broke in no wise indicates bad character, shiftlessneSs, or cause for Censure of any sort. Their very presence un- der such conditions is proof of merit: they are the kind that try They will get through tie winter somehow. and their chances for final success are good.

WEDNESDAY, DEG. If, 1904.

EARLY indications point to much Alaska discussion i'll congress at this sesslon. Two propositions al- ready preached have the merit of praci icability: one, by the presi dent, for government aid to connect the Yukon river by rail with salt water; and one by Senator Deitrich, of Nebraska, to establish govern ing body on the territory to be gov erned. The first is the most i'm portant only for the reason that the second, in one form or another would inevitably follow before long any way. IL really seems as if something would be done and a betterment is almost a certainty.

THE CALIFORNIA COAST.
Its Goodness Produced by a Current
From the Antarctic Ocean

It's Goodness Produced by n Current
From the Antarctic Ocean.
A great scientific mystery OF the Pa
cific ocean has just been solved. at
least theoretically. The experimental
verification will come later, or perhaps
the new theory will be accepted or re-
tected without other test than that of
thorough discussion OF the facts on
which 1t rests.
The mystery I'm question relates to
the origin of the immense current of
cool water which sweeps southwark
along our Pacific coast from Alaska to
southern California, the antithesis in
relative temperature and I'm direction
TO the gulf stream OF the Atlantic
coast, but mightier than the latter in
volume and modifying the land eli
mates all along it's course to a greater
extent possibly than any other known
ocean current. In short, this current is
one OF the greatest agents employed by
nature in producing the famous eli
mate of the Pacific coast. The magnih-
cent forests of Washington and Ore
gon and the rich orchards and vine
yards of California owe their existence
largely to the influence OF this vast
river In the sea, which flows swiftly
by the shore, tempering with It's cool
ness the arid heats OF summer, rolling
in vast mantles of fog which distribute
moisture like the gentlest rain and
mitigating the severity OF the winter
months with its equalizing influence,
because, while the average tempera-
ture Of the water is much below that
Of the adjoining land in the summer,
1t Is considerably above IL in winter.
Nor is this ALL Turning westward,
after skirting the shores OF California,
the great current spreads out over the
center of the Pacific, touching the Ha-
waiian Islands, where again its genial
influence is benefcently felt, with the
result that those islands enjoy a more
uniformly agreeable and salubrious eli
mate than any other land lying In q
similar latitude.
Now, in n general way, and without
much critical examination, geographers
and oceanographers have hitherto as
sumed that this Pacific current was an
ohshoot Of or a complement to the
northward flowing gulf stream of Ja-
pan, the kuro siwO. This Rev. s. e.
Bishop, widely known for his research
es on similar subjects, disputes, and
be sets forth the very interesting and
surprising proposition that the great
current begins near the south pole,
from which 1t follows that all the ia
vored regions mentioned above owe
their felicltous climes to the transmit

which border the Antarctic continent,

COST OF RUNNING A YACHT
Mr.. Astor's Monthly Bill In summer
Probably Foots Up $4,000.

MIR. Astor's Monthly Bill In summer
Probably Eoots Up $4,000.
The cost OF running steam yacht
necessarily varies with It's size, says
Rene Bache in the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post. A sixty footer may
be kept in commission for $500 q
month, not counting food supplies.
For $50 footer the monthly expense
would be $4,000 perhaps. But when
it comes to a pleasure craft like Pier
pont Morgan's Corsair. 3o4 feet on the
water line. or John Jacob Astor's
Nourmahal, which Is even bigger, the
outlay is enormously greater. 1t costs
about $4,000 month TO run the Cor
sair, and it is probable that Mr.. AS
tors bills for the Nourmahal I'm the
summer time amount to not less than
$4,000 every thirty days. The pay
roll OF the officers and crew OF such a
vessel, which is good sized steam
ship. will touch $4,000 or possibly So
600 q month.
A first class steam yacht carries q
crew OF fifty or more men. The Aphro-
dite, owned by Colonel Oliver II.
Payne. requires sixty-two There must
be three cooks, steward, two assist
ant stewards and six or seven men
who serve as "chambermatds" and
walters. The Nourmahas also has a
couple of stewardesses, for the con-
venience OF lady guests on board.
Thirty sailors draw pay at the rate
OF $50 month, the captain gets $500
q month-Howard Gould pays his cap
tain $4,000 year-and two mates are
employed at $40 and 500 respectively.
The chief engineer draws $125, the as
slstant engineer 500 and an oiler $50
month. To these must be added
four firemen at $40 month and four
stokers at the same wages. or course
the chief cook is likely to be French
chef at $500 or $500 a month.
Such boat consumes twenty tons
Of coal day, and at that rate, il kept
going five months in the year, she
will burn UP something like 5000 tons,
the item of fuel alone coming 10 $780,
COO for the season. For the rest of the
year she is laid up in basin at an ex-
BSASS VI F~oO q ihOhbh, thC CiCuu-
ing and painting she has to undergo
cost pretty penny. 1t takes two
weeks and an expenditure of 81 900 to
lay her up and q couple OF months and
$1,000 to put her into commission
again.
From these figures II Is easy to un-
derstand where the money goes for
steam yacht, though 1t should be real
lied that bills for food supplies (not
reckOned in the above account are
simply huge, especially when much en-
pertaining is done. Anybody would be
interested to know what ii cost Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt on his recent trip
abroad to entertain Emperor William
on board his yacht and TO meet on an
appropriately sumptuous scale certain
other social obligations which were
imposed upon him by his intimacy
with the great ones of the earth. Very
possibly he did not get off for less than
100000 for few weeks amusement.
Not few rich men nowadays prefer
sailing yachts, because OF the superior
accommodations which they afford.
There Is more comfort to be had, they
assert, In a 100 foot schooner than in
200 foot steam yacht. Such a schoon-
er costs only about $4,000 and has

Bishop Olmsted of Denver is inter-

tains many generous contributions on
their behalf from rich Episcopalians.
There is in Denver, however, mil
lionaire who will rarely consent to help
Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He is
a generous man, and In his own way
he assists the poor, but to organized
charity, for some reason, he heartily
objects. The bishop often asks him
for subscriptions, but these requests
are almost invariably refused.
Recently the millionaire had his por-
trait painted. Bishop Olmsted met
him the other day and said:

If a person were to jump into the
