Mrs. Gould's Royal Son.

Mrs. George Gould, having proved her
claim that the blood of kings rrSs
through her veins, and that the noble
lineage OF her son Kingdom, is traceable
back to the twelfth century, has spent
$4,000 in the making of a book that tells
the genealogical story and fiaunts before
the eyes of scoffers highly embellished
pictures of heraldry and coats of arms
pertaining to her ancestry.
Adding this item 10 the tremendous cost
of the genealogical investigation which
has extended over several years and
penetrated the musty tones of many ma
tons, there's a fortune right off-hand.
The Book of the Kingdoms, who in the

is expected to be sent where 1t will do the
most good, which is TO say that the men,

The long suffering men who have pro-

rumpus, a policeman interfered, and all

We're nearly all devoted in body and soul

of German birth or origin that, at the
outbreak of the civil war, Maryland, Mis-

the union and during that fearful period,
they rendered us services by word and
deed which will never be forgotten. Since

Brazil,s Army and Navy.

Albert Hale, in the Reader. for Novem-
Der.
The Brazilian navy is a mysterious in
stitution: its history is brilliant with
the names of brave officers, gallant sea-
men, clever navigators; to it aspired the
aristocracy of old BRAZIL it led one revo-
luton and its cocky cadets at Rio thought
themselves important enough to start an
other. The navy department has built
on its own plans and from native prod
ucts first-class battleship, and as the
squadron lies at anchor in the bay OF
Rio, 1t presents an imposing appearance.
There are forty vessels, all told, but
many of them are undergoing REPAIRS
they have one admiral and the relative
quota of officers down to 240 second lieu
tenants, and they all like to wear uni
forms. But when the ships are examined
they are found to be covered with bar
naeles; when there is a cruise to a for
eign port the officers have been known
to sell the coal to pay their gambling
debts and burn the furniture to keep the
fires in the engine alight; and when
dered to steer for the mouth of the ANA
zon, their navigating skill was so poor
that the officers could not find a certain
island on the chart. The navy hates the
army because they have happened to be
on opposite sides of a revolution or two,
and each seems. to think that it alone rep
resents the aristocracy of the landi On
paper the entire country can mobilize an
army of 100000 men, but as a working
force there are 10000, with four marshals,
eight generals of division and sixteen
generals of brigade. two battalions of en-
gineers, twelve of artillery, fourteen of
cavalry and forty of infantry. Besides
this army formation each state has its
own system of what we call militia, but
this is somewhat more elaborate and to
certain extent more independent of the
general army than is our own. The reg
ulars are occasionally seen on the streets
of Rio, and the militia in Sac Paulo, but
not often elsewhere.

the reduction in surplus was compare

1t seems quite probable that the de-
crease of SCOOPS 200 in loans shown last
week was due to extensive liquidation in
this item.
The cash loss indicated by the bank re-
turn was 81 1890, this loss resulted
chiefly from the movement of currency TO

JEFFERSON DAY.

Yesterday, April 2, the birthday Of Thomas
we'll keep alive the memory and turn often to con-
template the lives Of the founders Of the nation
AS the author of the Declaration of Independence
and as the father Of democracy, Thomas Jefferson
will always occupy high place in the hall Of fame
and the political principles which he taught will al
ways be an inspiration and guiding to lovers Of
popular government.
Jefferson's democracy was the consummation of
all the aspirations of his age for individual freedom
and it was the protest of that age against the divine
right Of king any other TO exercise author
ty another it the assertion Of the sovereign
ty Of the individual and this doctrine forcibly
pressed in the Declaration was elaborated and given
concrete application in the constitution interpreted
by Jefferson.
Monarchy was the great foe OF freedom in Jeffer-
SON mind and il was against monarchy that he direct
Cd his blows, but today the followers Of Jefferson
find the foes Of popular government in different guise
If the same in character. Crowned heads no longer
cause any fear in our minds but enthroned wealth,
the tyranny of greed and cunning the combinations
Of capital represented by the lords Of Wall Street. do
excite alarm ard furnish occasion for fresh applica
ton the principles Of Jefferson which hold that
far as the government IS concerned no man shall be
taller than another or enjoy any privileges favors
not enjoyed by every other man.
The door Of opportunity is wide open to the
democratic party All that have to do is to apply
the doctrines Of Jefferson to the issues before usthe
issue involving conflict between the welfare Of the
many and the interests Of the few apply the true
principles Of democracy and put men in power who
stand inhexibly committed to their enforcement and
the foes that menace our freedom will disappear.

THE ELECTION.

The election is only three weeks off, and if there is much enthusiasm for any candidate it is not visible on the surface. For the long term Gala will probably get as large a per cent. of the vote here as he will at Fairbanks, the place that put bim into the race. What effect Mir. Murane's candidacy will have on MT. Gales vote is, of course, a matter of conjecture Gale will undoubtedly be weakened at Nome, but he may gain at other places, for Dick Ryan is hostile to Murane and Colonel Perkins did not want him nominated, and party strings are not strong enough to hold any others who may have a desire for revenge. One thing that is against Gale: the per centage of people in the Panama not qualified to vote is very large. All things considered, however, his chances appear equally as good as they ever did.
 For the short term Governor Swine ford looks like winner It is an ad- vantage to him that he started in the campaign on his own responsibility and is not burdened with nomination in which the people had no hand. He was an independent candidate before he was named as the democratic nominee. He will get a large vote, distributed more evenly over the whole territory than that of any other candidate.
