J'IIB TJir. : There Is n. school of llnanciers
who teach that "money Is a governmental
deirrvonvrirJlessof the miterial used. " I
have quoted from "an able article" which
lately appeared In Ilia Alliance. O.irfleld
dald in longtess during the inflation craze of
lb < X ) : "But there Is ono quality of such a
currency more remarkable than all other *
1U strange iwwer to deludomon. The spells
and enchantments of legoml.iry witchcraft
were hardly o wonderful , Moit delusion t
can not b ( repeated ; they lose their power
after n full exposure. Notso witli IrredeRin-

on still
It is generally accepted among political
economists that money is a measure of value.
Let us st.irt from this proposition. The
incasuu' must have some quality which Is In
the things tn lie measured or there can bo no
measuring. There must bo length in that
which measures length , n measure of weight
must have weight , a measure of opacity must
lua o i-.ipaelty , sound must mcastiio sound ;
llilit ; must ineasuao light ; force must mea-
Htiro forco. Money is a measure * of value ;
therefore It must have value. Now where
docs the vnluo in money come from ) Doo-i
government confer it ) Take n coin thcro is
the stamp of gotcrninont ; but that .stamp
merely tells us how valuable is the coin : it
docs not put the vnluo there. Thej dollar
inarlc Is a ci'itlflcnto of so many grains of
metal It Is necessary for us to know ox-
nctly the utnount of metal that from it wo
Idum'tho vnluu. Tlio government says that
arcrtnln number of grains shall bo called a
dollar ( Jold and silver in tlio In in pare worth
us much as the same weight of coin minus
the coat minting , which latter is small. The
value luis In the metal awav down tn the
earth. Thcro Is Intrinsic value. It is an ex
ploded doetilno of McColhmgh , John S. Mills
and the rest of the English school that labor
is the source of all value. It costs no moro
labor to mine gold than silver , and jet gold Is
fifteen and a half times as valuable as silver.
At the beginning of the diamond discoveries
in South Africa nn old dutch couple riding
nlong the load saw aline rough diamond in
the sand. It was no labor to get out and pick
it up , and yet according to the English
school , quoted with such tespect by the Al
liance , a nickel .should have bought it
fiom them. I doubt veiy much if
the alliance financiers would have sold out so
cheap , TheetHycloiu-'dla quoted as saUng
that the theory of Intrinsic value has been
given up by tlio most economic wiitors , is u
\lctini to Iho same exploded teaching. It
was nn JSiii'llshmnn , too , who exploded the
doctilno of ArchbMiop U'hately of logic
fame , "In this , as in so many other points in
political economy , men aw prone to confound
cause mid effect. It is not because pearls
fetch a high price that men have dived for
th'-m , but men clivo for tlicm because they
fitch a high price. " Mr. Tlco can "pounel
sand" all tils life und no value will result.
Tlio Intrinsic vnluo theorj stands linn.
But it is said that governments can put
"value" into cheap paper by their commander
or "Il.it " Manifestly a government of fair
re-sources ( taxes , duties und impoits ) can
pive oa paper ( bonds or redeemable notes )
Its iiiomiso to pay "value" with Interest or
without and make worthless paper valuable ,
even very valuable , ] ust as a ilch man can , era
a busilneHs firm. But it Is claimed that a gov-
ennrent "flat" ean give irredeemable paper
moncj : i certuln debt paying power and
that tlici cfory it has "vnluo" as good as that
of government coin. Governments c.m Is
sue nny iiinountof paper and declare it "legal
tender'1 aud adopt the severest'penalutles for
its non-ncecptniice , as was done during
the Trench revolution. Our goveinment can
glvo putKT , never to ho redeemed , a universal
debt luying power , nnd can flx the prices of
all things in paper money , as was vainly done
in the French revolution. Yet it c.\n not al
ways coniiel | pcoplo td receive it equally with
coin. The French government could not in
It Is quite likely that if a small
amount of paper was issued hero it would
circulate on an equality with coin. But
would not do ko long , forhoon theio would bo
no coin la use. Still , although the paper
dollar pusseel for the equal of the coin iloiliir.
it wonlel not Ixj worth so much. It would
not bo woithcry much abroad. Xo govern
ment can compel foreigners to accept its
greenbacks. They are useless to pay the bal
ance of foreign tr.ielo. This Is the declaration
of various -wlitical economists. Europa
wants the balance paid in gold ; the Asiatic
nations want silver. It may be said that our
paper outfit not to bo less valuable abroad
than our eoin. Unfortunately or otherwise ,
wo cannot reguluto foreigners' notions. The
fnct Is that paper imnioy has no circulation
outside its own country. This being the case
u-reenb.icks are a form of repudiation. Our
Government piys many employes and cred
itors. Kvery minister to other lands nnd
ever } consul lias n curtain salary fixed bylaw
or rule. Lot the government pay them in
preoncaclcs and they will hah ) trouble to use
them , They must bo .exchanged for local
money and a discount paid , perhaps u heavy
one. Thay ought not to ho worthless. Iwcauso
the discounters can buy them up anil send to
the United States nnd purchaho gr.iln and
ship to Kuropo for coin at a piotlt. But they
arc not us good us gold and silver , nnd no
amount of United .Status governmental action
can make them so. The government cleik
who haskiivod up bomo money wants to take
a tilp to EuroiKj. There being little or no
gold hero lie takes the greenbacks. Ho bus
to i y the discount besides exchange ! en his
monoy.11 tourists must piv the discount ,
Impel UTS must pay discount. ' The govoin-
mcnt had engaged to pay to employes the
value of no many coin dollars per month. It
will no longer do so , but will pay them the
different Itetnocn the cola and the discount.
Tlio new llnanciers said the paper dollar
woulel ho as good as gold , oven better.
It is not ; it is depreciated. Our
government thus keep back a
part ot every debt tolls fehvign-resident cltl-
yens , It will bo n repudlator. It will ills-
honor promise : ! . What Is this hut dishonesty I
That paper dollur Is a fraud Instead of sound
money It Is a calamity instead of n bless
ing.Hut
Hut tlio matter Is still worse. Every dollar
of paper U depreciated Just as much as these
ollcri'd in Kurope. It is woith no moro than
they. It seems at homo to bo the same as the
coin. 1'eoplo elo not feel the difference. Hut
they will suffer from the depreciation , id-
though they do not feel It. The Importer will
make tlio people pay for that discount which
ho paid. I'rlceu of Imports will ilso , nnd the
masses will wonder why ; or tlioy will not
thinknt all about It. Ho'w much are our iin-
port < I'all them f 100WHKXI. , ) ( Say the dis

repudiation. Of course a rich nation can
bland it , , nnd n rich nation could make treed
that depreciation to Its creditor * ; hut how
about that giecnbnelc dollur which was to bo
better money than gold. In Canada and
Mexico the iinixins will cost the same as he-
fore ; wo shall bo paying mow.
As the supply of Imports ro-milns the same
the rise In pilco must be due to the fault of
your money. But If every doll ir of paper
money is depreciated the government will
repudiate a certain amount of every debt at
homo. And the government will c'ompoll till
people tn repudiate a part of every debt.Vo

( h'ccnlmc'k money will also injure business
and cause harel times. After greenbacks uro

must Increase our exports and lower our
markets ICithi'r of these will bo had for tlio
fanner and for the country. Them Is n thliel
alternative to stop our foreign trade1 , but
that would be still worse. Many , peihKps
the most of the Imports cannot
be produced nt homo. The result
would Iw to throw more capital Into Iraclcs
alii'iuly overdone , or to drive It out of the
country and increase taxation ; and then
there would bo a worsi * over-production of
farmers'products than before. Thoftrepn-
back policy cannot fail to liieroaso taxation.
Government must raise the usual amount ot
ivvonHC. The departure of so much capital
to other lands will necessitate a higher rate
of tax. Internal revenue or ciisteimslll
probably rino County t-ix. will como up per-
coptlblv. Thn buiden will full heaviest on
the farmer. Specie having taken lo flight ,
and the amount of p.iper being the same as
that of the coin , the circulation will bo thu
same in volume ) as before the' issue of green
backs. Hut If twice as many precnlneks
should bo issued , or three times nb many ,
then there would ho a great rise of prices , the
evil effects of which would fall heaviest on
tholaboilnginan.
Money , also , Is subject to Iho law of sup-
pi vntid demand. Money buys commodities
and c'ommoilltlos buy money. When com
modities lessen the price uses ; when they
increase the price lowers. When money less
ens In nniount it buys moro things * , when it
increases It buys less , and prices
go up If the amount of money doubles or
trebles , then the prices will about double or
treble. As to the tesult on the country , listen
to Webster and Carlleld :
"Of all the contrivances for cheating the
laboring class of mankind none have been
moro effectual than that which deludes them
with paper money. This is the tno't effec
tual of inventions to fertilise the rich man's
Held bv the sweat of the poor man's brow.
Ordinary tyranny , oppression , excessive tav-
ntion , those bear lightly on Iho happiness of
the mass of the community , compared with a
fraudulent currency and the robberies com
mitted hy depreciated paper. "
"Tho now issue would bo paid in the first
place in large amounts to the creditors of the
government. It would pass from their hands
before the depreciation had taken full effect ,
and passing down step by step through the
ranks of the middle men the dead weight
would fall at last upon tlio laboring classes in
the increased price of all tlio necessaries of
life. It is well known that In a general rise
of prices wages arcs among the last to riso.
The poor man being paid tlm same number
of dollars as before lluds that his money * .UU
buv but half us much as formerly. Ho sutlers
severely until wages rise correspondingly.
What benefit is thcro for the poor In such
abundance of greenbacks ? It Is clainicel that
it Is in.ido easier for the poor , especially the
farmers , to ( ret out of debt. Hut the farmer
also siidcrs the full effects of inflated prices
and depreciated money I quote from Perry's
"i'lcmcnts of Political Economy : "
"An inflated cuirency produces high prices ,
first of commodities , later of labor , later
till of lauds , and lust of all , if at all , of
produce , some part of which Is exported ,
and whoso price tends to bo the foreign price
of that part , "
What the farmer has to buy rises llrst la
price aud what he lias to sell last. Ho loses
hero. Ho finally receives moro for his pro
ducts , but all expenses aio as great in pro-
poitiou. In n time of Inflation everything
rises -store gooJs , milling , blacksnuthtng.
machinery , lumber , fencing , llvo stock and
even taxes. How , then , it Is uslccel , were
tliei-o such good times under greenbacks dur
ing tlio wart It was duo to increased de
mand and lessened supply relatively , of llio
fanners' products nail all other products. The
war converted millions of producers inlo un
productive consumers. The war destroyed
vast amounts of products which had to be re
placed , AVe prospered in spite of greenbacks
rather than th rough them. Convert il.OOJ.OOJ
producers now into consumers merely and
things will boom again ,
runners , beware of greenbacks. The antimonopoly -
monopoly green hack cranks claim a monopoly
of 'friendship for the "dear pcoplo" They
have rushed into the alliance to steer it Into
their old track. Keep clear of their rut.

11IK SICK.
Itcr. C. AV. Savlilgo's Arraignments
oI'Doulc and His Methods.
"Healing the Sick" was the subject of nn
interesting' sermon by Itev. C. Vf , Savldgo at
the Newman M. U. church last night. lie
took for his text Exodus 15 , 20 : "If thou wilt
diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord
thy God , und wilt do that which is right In
His sight , and will give carlo His command
ments , nnd Iteap nil His btatulcs , I will put
none of these diseases upon thee , which I
brought upon the Egyptians , for I am the
Lord that hoaloth thee. "
My subject tonight is "IIo.illnK Disease. "
Wo have hoard much lately on this subject ,
and our people know not whtit to believe.
Some of our ministers are ridiculing the
whole mutter , \\hllo others nro accepting
doctrines which have no fouudalion in revela
tion or reason ,
1'verj true ChrisUiln should certainly ho
nn earnest and consiant soaker for the truth.
Lotus bo llttlo children , BO that God can
teach us , and yet lot us bo wise to separate
the false from the true.
Tit-at of all , I remark that In these days
many are professing to" heal diseases. Hrothor
Dowio claimed that ho was Go-l's chosen ono
for the parposo. Hut I am free to say that I
was not by any means satisfied with tlio
spirit of this man , his methods nor Ids doe-
tUnos. I think ho had the most hitler spirit
I ever saw manifested in the pulnlt. .lems
said , "Lovo your enemies , bless tliom that
curse you. do good.to them that hnto you , ami
pray for them which duspitefully use you nnd
pcrjoeuto you. " Hut llrothnr Dowio ilid not
do that-ho did not leave his enemies to God.
Tie ) hinisclt took u hand at Tin : HKI * and Huv.
1J , S. Merrill and others whom he thought dlel
not tre.it him right. If Hrothcr Dowio U UoJ's
mill , \\liy does ho have to cudgel everybody
who does not see truth us ho does )
Then ho taught that the dovll was
the bender of all sickness and phy
sical ailment. I do not bulleivo Hint for
ono moment , In Ksodus xv. , lii ) , God sins :
"I have brought all these diseases upon Iho
Kfryptians. " Even In Job's t-aso tlio devil
was under divine re\stiietions and limitations.
Ami in .lohn Is , 2 , Chilst say * that "Neither
did tliu blind man sin nor his parents , but
that the woiks ol Uod should bo manifest In
him. " That case of bllnelno.ss was not the
weirk of the dovll , bat of Ood. Jesus was to
IK ) glorillcd thiough iho healing of tlicso
sijjhllcis oycs.
I'eason herself and observation toll us
concerning the e.iuso of disease. Wo
break the laws of Oed , of health
and life , nnd wo Buffer. AVe chew
ami snioHo tobacco , thus sowing nicotine , and
wo reap paralysis and cancer.Vosowwhisky
to reap poverty aud delirium tremens , Lotus
bo sepuaro with llio devil and not lay on him
.what wo are guilty of ourselves.
Again , Uiuthor Dowio taught that the njeel ;
Chilstlaa must so fully avail himself of iho
work of Christ Unit no Ix > d1ly iullriiiltliH
vtc.ald over como to hint ; that it was a in if
the man of eighty years did not see as well as
the young man of Ihlrty years. Hrothor
Dowio himself needs glasses badly when ho
i vails letters la piibllor.t night. And a num
ber who broke tholr chissm and threw them
away under his dlroftloii nro now sa'lly ' noeel-
ing them and the fallh of some has 'been
shaken.
The Christian scientists U > 11 ut that they

any case and promise ti nuro euro. Homo one I
iwkH , do these people not have some cures 11 t I

They reject ttio ' personality of Uod , the

I am not surprised that people dlo on their

Sir .ramos Johnson , formerly editor of the

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes has declared
before the Massachusetts medical society :
"I fairly bellovo Unit if the whole matcria

Professor Magcndlo , the great Trench
physician , said : "Gentlemen , medicine is a
great humbug. It If nothing llko science.
Doctors nro mere empgrics when they are not
charlatans. Wo are ignorant as men can be.
I grant you pcoplo nro cured , but how ) Na

Dr. McCl In lock says : "Mercury has nmdo

Dr. Franklin laid : "Naluro euros while
the doctor takes the fees. "
The ihougtitful people In tlio churo'i who
have followed mo now ask mo to think for u
moment of the conclusions already rjachod ,
Dowlo'fl splilt and doctrines are not accepted.
Cliilstiau science not tolerated , und very llt
tlo faith reposed m drugs as they are usually
administrated. What then Is my hope ! lain
nski'il. Wo answer , the woiJ ot God speaks
ot the way to prevent disease. Dlel you not
know Ihat it were butler to avoid disease than
to euro It after ithus us In itsgiipl Hear
what God says : "If Ihou wilt diligently
hearken to the voice of ihe Lorh thy God ,
and wilt do Unit whioli Is riiht mid wilt glvo
ear to His commandments and keep all His
commandments , ami nil III ) statutes , I \\ill
put none of these diseases upon thco which I
which I have brought upon the ligyptluiii , . "
Not very many who keep God's ' laws uro
sick.
Opening the bible again I sco that God
promises to heal disease. These promises
cannot bo explained nwuy. You will
have to dcjlroy the woid It
self if you do away with the.so
promises. Let mo repeat some of thorn to
you , Exodus xv , UU : "I mn the Lord that
hcaleth thco. " Deuteronomy xxxli , 3J : "I
make nlive ami I hetal , " II Kings xx , 1 to 7.
gives an account of King Hesekiah's ' fatal
sickness. Tlm prophet Amos bears to him a
message from God , and tolls him ho must die.
The kliiij tuins hU 1'ueo to the wall and prays
lor . God to hoar hint. It is done ; aud llftcea
years nro added to his life. Mat. lv. S.J :
"And .Tesus went about all Gnliloo teaching
in their synagogues und x > roachlng the go-.pel
of the Kingdom ntyl. healing nil manner of
sickness and all manner of disease ) among
the ! people. " Souio tell us that the days of
Coil's healing power hrtvo passed ; hut they
don't not that out of Iho bible.
Christ declared that ho was God , that Ho
would stay with us' always , ana that Ho
changes not. And i believe all ho ever said.
Wo read in James V , 11 to 15 , n vcuiarkablo
pissago which the church does not know
what lo do with today. Hear the word.- * :
"Is nny sick among you , let him call for the
elders of the church ; and let thorn pray over
him , annoiutlng uim with oil in the name of
the I-iOrel. And Iho prayer of fallh shall save
Ihe sick and the Lord shall raise him up , nnd
if ho hath committed sins they shall bo for-
Riven him. " I believe these words were
( 'lvea to the early chuivh by divine inspira
tion and they are given to us today to use
provided wo fulfill the conditions.
From the early clajs until now wo have tin
impeaehnblo testimony to the fact that God
does raise up ana bring back from tlio very
Kates of death , and that , too , when every
earthly help has failed. Lot mo mention
a few of these who have tcslificd
to the healing power of Chi 1st and
Bishop M.uhew Simpson's case , as told by
Ihshoji Uenvinan ; .Icnnio Smith of Mountain
Lake Park , Md. ; Mr. Montgomery , a wealt by
jounginanof Los Angeles , Cal. , und Miss
Carrie ) Judel of Buffalo , Y. Y. ; also Miss E ,
Sisson of Bethshan , London , and many
others. I wish wo had tlmo to talk of tlicso
coses at length.
Wo shall tlnd in our stiulv of this subject
that there are conditions to "Dlvlno Healing"
which have to bo met. These whom I have
met who have been healed have been devout ,
consecrated , fully resigned souls. I fully
believe , too , that faith in its mighty outreaches -
reaches Is a gift. You cannot for every case
make the prayer of faith. 1 believe that God
4it times sliuis llio mouth of the Intcrcossoi
for the restoration of him whom lie , in Hit.
wisdom , would call to Himself.
Some ask would I u-so human moans ?
Yes ; get the most skillful Clirlstlm physi
cian you can. HescUlah's carbuncle nceelce

worked grandly. Jesus used means. Ilean-
nointed the eye * of the blind man with claj

Wuitisniox , July 80. [ Special to Tin :
IRK.J It has often been said that a position
n a government department at Washington
s equivalent to n sinecure. Column after
olunin has been written upon tlio easy tlmo
vhlch many of the clerks have hero , and
hero Is no douht that the ordinary chief of a
epiiituient is very lenient with the mnjnrlty
f the moil under him. It Is notlnfrcinu'tit
hing to llml clerics with so much time on
n their hands Unit they c.m not only roud
ho current literature in ofllco hours , but llnd
lodiflunilty in kjo'iliijj up with the back
umber tivaauivs of fie dcpirtmoutil II-
ir.iry. Tln'ro is a very prominent exception
o this gpia-ral rule , luwovoi1 , ntul th.it c > \ -
option is found in the CJIUIH olllce. Super-
titundent Porter is conducting tlio nll'alrs of
, is olllco on the idol tliat tliera is work to boone
ono and to be done promptly , and ono can
ever enter any of the rooms of the oftico
vhero tj powriters ate thick without hairing

ho uir. Most all of the typowritow
ire run by women : but It islet
lot only the women * AMO have
o work in the census oilleo. livery mnn em-
iloycd there llnds tli.it it is about the hardest
ihico in the government service. Within the
> ast three or four months hundreds of men
uivo been appointed to clerkships in the
onsus ofllco who no doubt thought that gov-
rnnicnt-worlc was nil "soft , " butthobo men
lave discovered to their cost that sinecures
are unknown in this particular branch of the
government aoivico.
Superintendent Porter has succeeded in
ccuiiug a great deal of abuse from members
of congress on account of his determination
omalto his olllco a bee-hive instead of n
! rono's nest. Ho does not hesitate to up-
loint men who nro well recommended by sen
iors and representatives provided , of
oii'vse , the senators and representatives have
lot had their full slmro of the places ; but , nl-
hough ho ispiompt in tlio matter of appoint
ment , he docs not hesitate to dismiss sum-
narily every person in the employ of tlio
ofllcewho shows incompetoiicy. A case in
loint canto up last night.
A now man had been sworn in and was ns-
slgncd to work upon ones of the electrical
counting machines. Of course it was a new
lung to him and ho did not understand It.
. 'urthei * than this ho showed no disposition
o learn. The chief of the room in which ho
was employed spout thirty minutes In ex-
ilntmiiK : the workings of tlio counter , and the
lerk , who doubtless thought he had nothing
o do but draw a salary , tried it for a while
md then remarked : "I don't ' think I want
.0 learn this machine ; the work beems to be
.00 hard. "
" 1 inn of the same opinion too , " remarked
; ho chief of the room , and then ho proceeded
: o the olllce of his next immediate .superior ,
ropoiteuth.it ho hid a now man whom ho
lid not want , and asked for another man in
lis place. In ton minutes the disgusted
ieilt found himself unc-o nioio out In thu cold
.vorlil . , and this moining lie is looking around
for another job.
1 happened to bo in tlio oilico the othur day
when a congressman called to protest against
the dismissal of a friend of his who had so-
: uml a place under Mr. Porter.
"Tho man is Incompetent nnd I won't ' have
liiin , " suld the suiiarintcndcut , "and it is no
use arguing for his roappointmcnt. Ho is
useless ; ho Is out of tlio seivico of the gov
ernment , nnd ho cannot get into this burumi
again so long as I am chief. You may liml
another nriii to take hi * plaeo if you cun
lind onowho Ls lit for the poiition ,
Lint this ofllco is n business olllce and incom
petents me not needed.11
Mr. Porter has shown marked oxecutlvo
ability and ho is carrying on the work of pie-
paring the schedules in a manner which c in-
not bo other than satisfactory" , ami in spite of
the growling heard from dcmo.-ratlunowv
papars throughout the country , tlicro is no
question but what the present census will bo
about as complete us any of thoio which preceded -
coded it.
Tlio activity of the fanners' alliance
throughout the south is causing a great deal
of comment nmong the domoeratle members
of cougiess liore , and it is lively admitted on
all sides that what ; seemed to bo \valk-o\cr
for llio control of the next congress by the
Uemocr.its is now n race in which a new po
litical patty Is an important luetor. Careful
estimates by those who have given the sub
ject thorough examination le.id to the belief
tliutnt least thirty and possibly Ilfty of the
farmers' ' alliance candidates will bo returned
to congress this full. Nearly all of the < o will
come f i oni the southern states , although it is
expected that several will enter congress
from tlio we t. Itopnblicans themselves have
not had much hope of canturing the next
ccngress , nnd it has generally been conceded
that Speaker Ileod is not likely to servo a second
end term. Mr. Ilyiuim of Indiana his been
talked about as a jxjsiiblo eindidato for the
speaUoiMliip , and tlierolms boon a numberof
other more or loss prominent democrats men
tioned in the same connection ; but Just now ,
wliou the fanners' alliance movement is at its
height , a new democratic Moses has aribcn
whoso chances for success in the spealcer-
olup contest nro admitted to bo decidedly
fair. Should the farmers' alliance hold llio
balance ot power in the next house , the
chances point to the nomination of Congress
man Ilntch of Minsour ! us the democratic can
didate for the spcalcowhip with the endorse
ment of the alliance , and In this event Mr.
Ilntoh would , of course , pull through. Ho-
publicans , howovcr , aranotas willing to ad
mit their defeat in advance as they wore a
few months ago. The situation lias changed
greatly , and whether or not tlio Lodge olc-c-
tion bill is enacted into law. tlio most ustuto
republican leaden believe that it will still bo
possible to control the next congiess.
Now that the Uehring sea cwiospoiidoneo
bus boon made public mid it is discovered
th.it the negotiations between Sir Julian
1'aitncefoto and Mr. niutne have boon for the
time bc'iiitf , nt least , broken oIT , thorc Is moro
or less talk of the ultimate submission ot the
quo-itlon at Issito between the two great gnv-
ernmunts to a board of arbitration. Mr.
Blalno has certainly scored a victory in thU
matter , nnd has conclusively proven that ho
has the batter argument up to d ite. Tin * pa-
sition of the United Htntos as detlned in Mr.
nialno's letters and trieurmiH to Sir Julian
I'auncofoto and Lord Salisbury is BPCII to
bo well tiilcon , and it is generally hr-Hoved In
diplomatic elicits horotiiat should llio two
govirnmeuU ask tlio liitrrvonlion of oilier
power that tlio United Status will in all prob
ability win In the contest. The unsettled
state of affairs , however , has seriously em
barrassed n movement which bad been quietly
started and which had a wonderful effect
upon the future of thu mainland of which
the seal islands aio politically a part. Tor
some mouths now a quiet movement has bnen
on foot to oi'Kani/o a gigantic onterpiiso
which will , If over put in operation , bring
about n cloo nlllanco between tlio two
widely separate.sections of the American TO
public. Tills ontcrpuso was no loss than llio
organizitlon of n system to connect the .stato
of Washington wltti Alaska through Urltlsh
Columbia. Just how fur it had progressed
isnotjct known , but it was known that
there was U jriv.it deal of capital behind tlio
scheme , and It Is quite probable that the ne
gotiations may yet bo carried to n siu-cossful
issue. Pcitin U. lluv/rii ,
