ALAsKA-YUKoN-PAclFIC A EXPOSITION.

The exposition which has now been
 planned for Seattle in the year 1908
 beginning in June and ending in Octo- Der of that year, is already receiving general attention. The interest of this country in the Pacific is constantly growing, and we have territory now on both sides of the largest ocean, as well as in it's middle expanse. In fact, the islands of Alaska reach almost to Asia, and it is in the far northwest that an ali-rail route to the old world must necessarily be located More than half the earth's population is in touch with the commerce of the Pacific and among the nations owning Pacific ports the United States is not only the most pro ductive but has also the best geograph- ical advantages. Its more than 22s,- o0O miles of railway afford transporta- tion across and up. and down the con tineat. and 1t will own the isthmian canal, the connecting link between the main oceans of the earth.

Seattle borders some extensive fresh water lakes which will be utilized fo- the occasion, and the background of lofty mountains will fit into a spectacle of unusual beauty. Most of the states and many foreign nations will be rep resented, and Canada will set forth the resources of its western provinces on a fitting scale. The national govern

ment is expected to furnish $750,000 for a general exhibit and to allow s500,000 for an Alaska building and display of characteristic features. For eign exhibits will be confined to coun- tries adjacent to the Pacific, but as these have a population exceeding 900, ,O00,00 the limitation is by no means narrow. These nations now have a commerce of s71s,0OO,OO0 with the United States, large sum in the aggregate, and yet less than $1 per year per capita. A vast future increase is certain, as we buy from these Pa cific countries nearly as much as we sell them, the enlargement of tho we'll balanced commerce will be welcome to all concerned. The show will be no one-sided proposition in any sense.
 Alaska will at least be star partici- pant. Purchased by the United States in 1867 fer s7,200, 900 it has yielded in fur, fish and gold alone s27s, 900, 900. Its chief river, the Yukon, Is aayiga- ble for 25oo miles and carries great volume of water Alaska's minerals are of nearly all varieties, and there is no longer a doubt that it's southern section is adapted to certain kinds of agriculture. Its greatest present need Is transportation. The showing of in- habitants at this time is but 5000, and Yukon territory has only 1000, but Alaska contains an area of 5s6,06o square miles and has a coast line of 26, 900 miles. Including its islands it stretchesfa distance equivalent to that from Savannah, Georgia, to Los An geles. In latitude it is no farther north than Sweden or Norway. Though the exposition is two years away, now is the time to prepare for 1t. Arizona will not forget its old-time famous re- hinder that in that direction lie India and the east.

THE SHORTAGE IN THE TOWNSHIP FUND.

The investigation by the expert em- pioyed by the City Council to aunt the accounts and records of Ex-Mayor Taylor, as trustee for the Bisbee town site, according to his report, shows a discrepancy of approximately sS50.0O. Against this claim the Ex-Mayor is sues a statement to the effect that his accounts are true and correct. View ing the matter dispassionately it is very probable that in the handling of the intricate affairs of the Bisbeo Townsite that some errors occurred. The report of the expert does not nee essarily imply that the Ex-Mayor is guilty of making away with any of the townsite funds, but on the face of the report of the expert accountant, it is apparent that there has been some creIessness in handling the ac- counts and vouchers, either on the part of the trustee, or some of his assistants. The matter must be clear. ed up in a business like manner. If there is a shortage for any reasen the shortage should be made good and no doubt will be. As we understand the situation the Ex-Mayor claims there is no shortage and that his ac- counts are correct and all moneys expended by him are accounted foI by check and vouchers. The expert claims just as positive that there is shortage of more than eight hun dred dollars. The Review suggests that the Council call in third expert or secure the services of the Public Examiner of the Territory, and abide by his final decision. No doubt the Ex-Mayor would be willing to abide by such an arrangement and if not, the final and proper place for adjustment of the account would be the District Court in which case the City of Bis bee would appear as Plaintiff and the Ex-Mayor as Defendant. in a friendly suit.

WEALTH OF
 AMI ERiCAk FAMILIES.

The census report showing that the average wealth per family in the United States increased by $1s0 dur ing the period from 1890 to 1904 would have a. higher educational value if it told us whether the increase repre- sented by the average has gone to the many or to the few.
 The figures as they stand mean mo- thing more than that the productive energy of this marvellous age has been adding to the wealth of the nation fast CT than the number of families has grown. In order to know whether the average American family was better off or worse off in 1904 than in 1890 it would be necessary to ascertain whether the increased wealth has been evenly distributed.
 The census being silent on this point, it is possible only to argue from cause to effect. The republican party having been in control of the govern ment during all but four of the four teen years of the period, it is no more than fair to assume that most of the gain has gone to the monopolies which that party so sedulously fosters.
 In the ten years since it's enactment the Dingley tariff has multiplied many fold the wealth of the industrial trusts into whose hands it placed a strangie- hold upon all other industry and enter prise. Wherever it has increased wages it has a1ssa more to the wage earner's cost of living.
 Better prices for farm products, and steady growth in the value of farm lands, have greatly enhanced the av' craze wealth of the farmers of the United States since 1890. It may be doubted, however, if the average of accumulated wealth among profession al men and wage earners is now any greater than, if so great as 1t was il the earlier year of the census eompari son
 The citizen who does not share iu the benefits of the republican monopo ly system is only the victim of its robberies- It is only under the demo cratic rule of equal rights to aIl spe cial rights to none. that all classes oi the American people can get theii share of the good things which have made the United States by far the wealthiest narlon on the face of the globe

THE END OF HARTMAN
 AND HARTMAN METHODS

Reading the handwriting 0h the wall at long distance AIr. E. H. liar rimap. and Hartman methods in hign finance have come to an abrupt halt
 The schemes of mice an men gang aft aglee.'
 Hartman, in the light of the brief investigations already turned in his direction, appears in the role Of a schooner and trickster. He depended upon his underhanded schemes and stock jobbing proclivities for success and when just within the reach oi victory and supremacy, the price that all schemers, tricksters and dishonest men must pay was demanded and we find Hartman the special object Of a searching inquiry, with his castles sumbling about him and shorn of the ronfidence and respect which has been allotted to him in the past on false representations
 The statement attributed to Harri- man by President Roosevelt that the head of the s. P and L. P. railroad systems in this country bragged Of his ability to purchase public offi- .rials occupying positions of public trust, shows the true calibre of E. H. Hartman, and it is reflected in the political methods of his lieutenants in California and elsewhere.
 There has been a reckoning with the McCalIs, Mccurdys and Hydes. The Hartman crowd are at present being seasoned for the gridiron.

The ending Of public gambling In this territory is one of the big credit marks in the future history of the 24th legislature and will result in turning an enormous amount of money which has heretofore gone over the gambling tables to support the proprietors and swell their bank ac- counts. into other and more legitimate channels of trade.-Douglas Interna- tional.
