Passing Of Summer.
b Indlananolls Slar.

From the Indianapolis Star.
Is there one among US to whom the
death Of summer does not carry an
indehnable story OF unutterable pathos2
IL may be that nothing has come to
change the bright promise OF our lives.
Love and hope are with us stll. We
know the rich beauty Of the coming
autumn. We understand perfectly that
there win be glorious days and soft
beautiful evenings for month or two
to come. And we have visions OF the
farther future bringing again the cozy
fireplace. the pale Of amusement and
the cheer within that defies the cold
without. And yet the first fan OF
leaves. the first stark twig and the
first touch Of brown In the fields bring
with them the melancholy Of death.
the sharp pain Of regret that all the
marvellous beauty In which we have
reveled for months must pass.
For the beauty OF the summer is an
unceasing marvel TO us all. II is not
merely the youth and maiden that sail
their boat on lakes and search the
shadows of the primeval forest or drink

knew il. Even the one whose only re-

Prosperity in Alaska.

According to the statements Of Will
Wilzinski. who has just returned from
an extended trip in the North, in which
he visited all the important points
along the Yukan, Alaska is enjoying
far greater prosperity than is generally
supposed. Mr.. Wilzinsk states that
business i'm the Yukon district is boom
ing, and that all indications point TO
steady and rapid improvement in
trade conditions all through Alaska,
with the exception of the more remote
districts.
"The large amounts of gold that
have been taken out of the claims along
the Yukon and the prospect of az
exceptionally large cleanup next spring
have resulted in a state of prosperity
and stability never before seen in the
northern districts" said Mr.. Wilzinski.
Merchants and miners have been
heavy buyers OF all foodstuffs. imple-
ments and clothing. ana the majority
have laid in a supply which is calcu-
lated to last them all winter. During
the winter season the business i'm the
northern part of Alaska is naturally
restricted to some extent by the ex-
treme cold. and most of the miners and
prospectors lay up enough provisions
and other articles to last until spring
thus avoiding the higher prices that
they are compelled TO pay during the
season when navigation on the Yukon
becomes impossible"

SOMEBODY is WRONG.

DEMOCRATGC Interpretations Of
- the Democratic-Po -Postles combina-
tion fail Of that harmony which is
advisable in the discussion of political
coups. The Delawarean sagely and
cautiously ventures this bit Of COM
ment.
Don't forget the "Postles" incident
as you watch the trend Of events.
Proof upon proof is being piled up
just now that the brilliant coup OF
those Democratic councilmen of WI
lmington forced the issue we are now
witnessing long before the mapped-out
program had scheduled e to take
place. Politics and common sense
were combined in that coup.
Now we gather from the above that
this combination between Postles and
the Democrats OF Council is regarded
AS a shrewd political move which par
lty necessity is beginning to justify.
We are really panied at this admission
for we had been taught to place on II
lanother Interpretation.
From the Every Evening we had
been impressed that Postles was a
chosen instrument Of Providence to
rebuke his white brethren; that he
acted the aart Of an unselhsh and
noble mindJe patriot and that the
Democrats Ead no other motive than
to assist him in bringing good govern
ment to this city.
which view Is correct? Are we to
infer from willard saulsbury's paper
that for mere partisan advantage the
Democratic members of Council took
advantage OF the cupidity OF the coli
ored member and gave him the induce
ment he demanded? That would in
dicate that Democratic councilmen
care less for their oaths than for the
demands of partisan politics.

Gently said the FISH weighed As

hc Coast record for having landed the
largest striped bass taken with rod

The late Fred Bushnell caught a
striped bass in San Antonio Slough
six years ago which was the record
fish up to now. Mr. Bouteiller's bass
was in poor condition owing TO the
fact Of being land locked and without
food for some days prior to its cap
ture. The fish was taken by means OF
trolling a live minnow up and down a
deep pool in the river which cannot
be netted on account of the large
number of sunken logs that interfere
with nets Of any kind.
The fight between man and fish
lasted thirty-hve minutes, and as ev-

MR.. BRYAN's PLAN.

MFR. BRYAN has addressed letter 20
IL the President IN which he outlines
plan for putting an end to wars.
II contemplates a sort OF international
commission to which questions that are
in dispute shall be submitted for a re-
port ere hostiities shall begin. Mr.. Bryan
argues that the decision Of such a board.
while it would not be binding would
probably. in most eases be final because
OF the moral support it would receive.
The difficulty is that few nations are
likely to bind themselves by such an
agreement and we are inclined TO think
that the suggestion OF such a plan by the
President would be set down to mistaken
enthusiasm.
But however we may regard the
scheme. nobody can oriticise the motive
behind it.
