The government assay office In &c., attle handles about 60 per cent of the total gold production of Alaska and Yukon, the balance being shipped di- rectly to the San Francisco and Phil adelphia hints or to the Canadian mint. The percentage sent to Seattle therefore is an excellent barometer of the gold production. The receipts for the first eight months of 1908 were $10,6S2,249 as compared with $S,- 732,S75 for 1907 for the same period in 1907. In the last five years the receipts during September and Octo- Der have averaged s2,500. .00O and for November and December about s950,- 900 each. These averages will prob- ably be exceeded fully 15 per cent this year making the total receipts for 1908 the sum of $18,567,249. During the Alaska Yukon-Pacifi ex- position next year the United States assay office will maintain a branch on the grounds.

Wet more "that Congressman Nicholas I,ongworth, President Roosevelt's son-in-law, has arranged for success sion in the white house just as 1t is done by royalty in the European mon- archies. Mir Longworth in speech at Rock Island yesterday declared that Taft would be elected president for eight years and that Theodore Roosevelt would return to the white house in 1916 as chief executive of the nation. Of course. son-in-law Nick was too modest to say so. but following the lines of succession agreed upon he would be the natural choice of the g. o. p. for the presi- dency in 1920. Taft.

HEARD IN PASSING.

MT Debs compliments Connecticut on turning out the best audiences since he left the west. This would indicate that some of the voters of the state are really interested in his campaign.-Bridgeport Post.
 A Parisian milliner is authority for saying that next years hats will be very much larger than those of the present year. Our married men hope that the price won't be in- creased with the size.-New Haven Palladium.
 The fact that so many undesirable citizens are taking to the woods is another reason for forest preserva- tion or characterization. It is awful to think that there may not be woods enough to hide the grafters.-New London Telegraph.
 In a letter to Attorney General Bonaparte, Josephus w. Daniels, chairman of the democratic press bu- reau, asserts that the efforts of the department of justice to curb illegal operations of monopolies nave failed of their object.-Middletown Press.
 The Maine fires have made the deer unusually timid and it is said the hunting will not be as good this year. Still there is no objection to the hunters going up there and pop ping away at one another as has been their pleasant custom in the past Norwich Record.
 Roosevelt got s260,000 from Har- riman, Sherman as chairman of the republican congressional committee collected from trusts, and now Shell don, republican treasurer, is pro- ceeding to do the same thing.

Judge Taft complains that this is
 the day of the campaign canard, and
 shouts 'liar" because some alleged
 person said that he thought one dol
 lar day sufficient compensation for the laboring man. MT Bryan and
 Chairman Mack both denied the
 statement in the Hearst papers that
 the democratic national committee
 had received $3O0,000 fund from
 the old committee at the beginning | of this campaign, and yet President
 Roosevelt repeated the islander sev-
 eral weeks after its authoritative re- pudiation by Chairman Mack in the various press associations of the
 country. The democratic national committee has never circulated the
 hoax of which the republican candi-
 date for the presidency complains
 The republican campaign managers
 have not only circulated as cam-
 paign document the false words put
 in ex-President Cleveland's mouth,
 but the president has given express ion to the charges created by MT
 Hearst's paper and has never made
 correction of his error. J. Pierpont
 Morgan contributed s20,000 to the
 republican campaign fund and inn
 mediately stocks were affected fa- vorably. Of course, Mir Morgan will
 be one of the most substantial con- tributors towards Judge Taft's cleo ton. Why shouldn't he contribute
 literally? He had George R. Shel- don elected treasurer of the repup- lican national committee, and he has reason to believe that all his im- mense interests will be immune from government regulation just as they have been in past republican admin istrations. MT Morgan contributed towards the election of President Roosevelt and Governor Hughes of New York; so did John D. Rocke- feller, E. H. Hartman and other trust magnates. There Is no reason in the world to expect they will not do the same thing this year.

The panic also affected our foreign trade as will be seen from the follow ing figures: The imports into the United States for August were s91,- 255,30S, a decrease of s34,550,645 from August, 1907 The domestic ex- ports for August amounted to s10S.- 796,220, a decrease of s16,054,537. For the first eight months of 1908 the total domestic exports amounted to s1,075,O76,555, and the imports s700,141,956 against s1,176,282,- 4SS and s1,OO1,7O7.11s respectively for a like period of 1907. The de- clines in foreign trade this year are in similar proportion to those of the leading European countries, and af- feet nearly all commodities.

ness may not be quite up to the high water mark. MT Mellen says that quite considerable surplus has been accumulated in the past, which will help out and that is what sur plus is for.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Quite an important ruling was made in regard to the interpretation of the naturalization law in New York recently. A man, who showed his discharge papers, proving that he had given four years of meritorl- ous service in the United States navy, made application for his final papers and the application was op- posed on the ground that the law provided that he must have two wit nesses who could swear that he had been in the United States for four years. Judge Ward of the United States court decided that the dis charge papers furnished all the evil dence that was needed and the appli- cant was made a citizen.-New Lon- don Day.
 The chestnut fiend is again abroad in the land, and IT ne IS built rtght he will confess there is more fun In the getting than in the eating. The woods beckon. There's new life and vigor in the very air. The coloring itself is alluring, and there is some thing subtly interesting in being on the hunt for the little thing that lies hidden under the leaves, one knows not where until he has riveted his eyes upon it. Then there's the exer- else of it all, which sends the blood bounding, brightens the tissues and clears the brain. Especially invigor- ating is the hunt if 1t is crowned with a fair degree of success. One likes to see the pockets fill and the bag fatten, and to carry home as many as ones next door neighbor-even if they are thrown away afterwards. -Ansonia Sentinel.

President Roosevelt has been quot ed as saying that the republican na- tional campaign fund must be in- creased and Treasurer Sheldon is at work trying to pick up the money. It was stated in New York to-day that 450 customs inspectors have been assessed s25 each. It Is thought that some will fail to re- spond but it Is believed that the or der will net at least s10,000. It is said that some have clipped to the democratic fund. None, however, can be compelled to contribute as the civil service laws prohibit the solici- tation of campaign funds in such a manner.-New Britain Herald.
 Civil service rules do not amount to much where there is a campaign fund to be raised or there is faith ful g. o. p. worker to be taken care of.
