predicated, and there was the natural
divergence Of opinion. But the bears had

action OF the market was concerned and

crops will be 10000 bales larger than last

dumped and lack of outside specula-

Coffee Declining.
Higher European markets, adverse crop
condition reports from Brazil, with at
times higher cost and freight figures, gave
coffee a semblance Of firmness at times.
but the general trend has been downward,
with reports of damage to the Brazilian
crop either disregarded or discounted. The
trouble has been that alarming reports
have been contradicted by the easiness
of Brazilian markets and the evident
anxiety of Brazilian holders to market
their stock even at concessions. Thls
anxiety has been credited to financial

 If Alaska was of enough import to even a few of the national legsla tors she would stand far better chance of getting the legislation that she needs than she does at present

 This is an unfortunate condition of affairs for Alaska and she must con- tinue to suffer because she is not or sufficient political importance to catch the notice of the men whose main desire is to maintain themselves in office at the expense of the people.

The currency legislation which the democratic party was so much inter- ested in seems to be hanging fire. There is a difference of opinion within the party itself as regards the wisdom or unwisdom of some of the provisions of the proposed new law
 President Wilson is trying to make good one of the blanks in the platform upon which he was elected and he must have given considerable thought and sought considerabel advice about the needs of the countrys banking and currency system before he ap- proved the bill as it was finally sent to congress.
 Certainly there are many good points in the proposed new legisla- tion and certainly. from the standpoint of some of those interested, there are bad points. very bad points. How ever. the president is satisfied that the bill as it stands at present is the best measure that could be drawn to meet and correct certain evils in our financial system.
 One thing that the new bill will do if it becomes law will be to put the iegalized gamblers of Wall street moro completely out of business than they are at present. That is a very good move for these bloodsuckcrs on tho nation are neither producers nor earners. They are for the most part just plain crooks and for years they have controled New York state poli- tics by open bribery and corruption.
 But of course the currency legis- lation is not being considered in re- gard to its effect upon the crooks oi Wall street. It is measure designed to correct evils that exist all through our banking and monitary system and in theory anld according 9to the best Judgment of the president it will be a move towards an ultimate end of getting our banking and business methods into more rational system.
 There are a great many men who do not agree with the plans of the ad- ministration as set forth in the bill A lot of men for various reasons do not want to see the bill as it now stands become law Some of these, men -aro actusted by honest convic- toins and some of them are actuated by merely personal considerations which effect, their own or their con- stituents pocketbook.
 Whatever the reasons for opposition to the bill that opposition should be withdrawn and the measures for financial purihcation advocated by the president should be enacted into law ct oncA

The paymaster general of the navy has recommended tat an inm, nst, storage plant for coal be built at San Francesca to supply the ships of the navy after the opening of the Pana ma canal
 This is a wise and foresighted pro- vision on the part of the officer mak- ing the report and it was expected that he would also make certain roc concentrations in regard to the use of Alaskan coal by the sihps of the navy. This question was not. however son given was that there was not enough information available in the subject
 The paymaster general of the navy is not at fault in this for it is not his business to know anything about the development of the coal fields of AL aska or the means of transporting the coal from Alaska to some point where 1t will be available for the use of tha warships on the west coast. He is simply concerned with furnishing coal to the navy from the most available sources.
 But the establishment of this inn mense storehouse for fuel on the west coast will mean that thousand upon thousand of tons will be required by the government and it would seem that it is somebody's business to see that means are provided whereby most of this enormous amount of coal should be yearly furnished from the fields of Alaska.
 Transportation by boat from AL aska to San Francisco will be cheaper than any other way of getting the fuel to the proposed new storage place and there seems no good reason other than the penuriousness of the govern ment or perhaps the protection of prl- vate interests why some measures should not at once be provided for the rapid development of the rich coal fields of Alaska.
 The greatest factor at present in retarding the movement for the open ing of the territory is the lack of knowledge of this vast region on the part of the men who will have to act on the legislation necessary for it's proper development. These men are

Mir. Wilson is honest in his convic- tions and in his endeayors. If he is more or less of theorist in regard to certain matters 1t is not surpris- ing for all of his life's training has dealth more with theory than with fact, But in this instance he has sought the advice. of practical men in the banking business and the majority uf opinions expressed to him by ex- perts are to the effect that certain evils will be corrected by the passage If the bill
 Moreover it is undoubtedly one of the main reasons for the democratic larty being in power at present and the people who put the party in power expect that it will make good it's promise to reform the banking and currency laws.
 Tn" democrats who are fighting the the platform upon which his party was elected are not playing fair with their leader. They are putting per sonal interest ahead of party interests and ahead of the best interests of the country at large as figured out by the present head of the nation.
 If MT. Wilson is wrong in his ideas in regard to currency reform. if the measures proposed by him for tho correction of an undoubted evil fail in their purpose we must give him credit for q well meant and earnest effort to correct the evils just the same.
 No one knows better than does the president and the head of the demo- cratic party that if the legislation of the next few years for which he and his party will be held responsible by tion. If instead of the expected bet torment in busness conditions drought the country the contrary result is ob- tained the party will be wiped off the slate at the next general election.
 Personally this will mean little to Il man of Mir. Wilson's caliber but he is a loyad party man and loyal citi- ben of the United States and he would not propose any measure for the consideration of the legislator which he did not believe would be of benefit to his party and to his country
 Therefore the men who are now de- laying action on the presidents cur rency bill are not acting in fair manner to the president or to their party or to the people They should not quibble over measure upon which the president has put so much of time and thought and which he honestly believes will correct the evils at present complained of. The bill, as drawn by Mir. Wilson and his advis- CTS should be passed at once. If 1t turns out to be a failure. We'll there will be another general election in lew years una the people will see to il that if the democratic party has done anything that is not best for the general interests and advancement of the country that it is put where it will not be able to meddle in national affairs again for some time.
 The laws made by the new bill can always be repealed and the people will see that they are repealed if they are not good laws.

An Early Postal Experiment.

AS long ago as the seventeenth cen.
tury the attempt was made to prepay
letters by Using stamps. In 1868 Paris
tried system that even provided pill
lar boxes for the letters, which were
to have billet, price sol. attached to
the letter or parcel. The experiment
met the usual experience of the pio-
neer-ridicule. Mice were dropped into
the letter boxes, and when the letters
came to be collected it was found that
the animals had made hearty meal of
them. As nobody could be sure of the
fate of the parcels, the experiment
came to sudden end.

IMITATION PEARLS.
They Are Made With Essence d'orisnt,
Fish Scale Product,

FIsH SCsle FroCuct.
As the real pearl comes from the oys-
ter, so to large extent is the manu-
facture Of artificial pearls dependent
ON certain species of fish. The COM
plete processes of manufacture are, of
course, trade secrets, but 1t is interest
Ing to know that 1t is from the bril-
liant scales of the ablet, or blay. that
essence d'orient is produced. as with
this essence imitation pearls are made.
The blay Is small fish with a green
back and a white belly, and the es.
sence is obtained exclusively from its
white scales, which are covered with a
pigment Of metallic appearance. They
are first treated with ammonia and
then with fish glue, powder being
first obtained and then paste which
can be easily spread on glass.
In the early stages of pearl manufac
ture, about 1856, this essence d'orient
was applied to little balls of plaster.
but the temperature and the damp heat
Of the human body modified the adhe.
sive qualities of the pearly matter and
caused changes of color. In 1880 Pa
risian named Joaquin invented a meth
cd of covering. small glass balls with
this essence. thereby producing the
FIRST practical artificial pearl.
In the north and east of France and
In Germany blay fishing is actively pur-
sued. About 1000 are required to pro-
luce pound of scales, which In turn
gives quarter of pound OF essence.
