THE order of the secretary of war, establishing military authority over that part of Alaska lying within a radius of one hundred miles of St. Michael, is to give the country peace and quietude until gucb.

time as tho growth of population results In tbe establishment of stable civil government. IF a tax payer si'tlcies tbe manner in which a street is Improved, he is not necessarily a foe to street improvement. Nor when he condemns the extravagance of the electric light management Is he necessarily opposed to the electric light plant. This is a distinction that "Your "Uncle Steve" does not recognize. IT is the legal functions of money that gives to the metal its great value.

It is the legislator who bestows upon the metal this function. The legislator can withdraw the raoney function and thereby destroy the metal's great value. Hence the term "intrinsic value," applied to money is misleading. Its value is almost entirely extrinsic. Aristotle gays: "Money Itself is only a frivolity, it has value only by the law and not by nature, inasmuch as a change of agreement among those who can use it can depreciate it completely." If an example be needed to prove conclusively tbe accuracy of the great philosopher's conception of money, we have It in tbe monetary history of the last twenty-five years.

No one can doubt, that had there been no change in the coinage laws of this and other countries silver at Tide ratio of 36 to 1 would be worth today as much commercially as gold. If accorded the same coinage rights that gold now possesses, the demand for the metal will restore its value. Recommends Dr, Greene's Nervura for Vigor, It Invigorates the Makes Strong Nerves and Powerful Muscles. It Revitalizes the System, Giving Health, Strength, Energy and Power. Shall British Baukers Rule the World? Noting the fact the barkers 01 London bad forced the British government to reject the demands ol the people for the restoration of silver coinage, the Indianapolis Sentinel makes this pertinent Inquiry: "What are you going to do about it? The London bankers have shown their ability to dominate Great Britain.

Can they dominate the United States? The vast majority of the men who supported McKinley last year believe In International bimetallism. The London bankers say to them: 'You shall not have international bimetallism. You shall have gold monometal- At the same time their the torles of this country, say we must do what tte London bankers want. We muat issue gold bonds Instead of coin bonds. We must retire the greenbacks and issue gold bonds in place of them.

We must virtually re-establish the bank of the United States, which Andrew Jackson killed, by turning the complete power over the currency Into the hands of the national banks. We must fasten gold monometallism on ourselves so that its chains can never be broken. What are you going to do about it, you international bimetallists, who know that gold monometallism is a blight and a curse to every nation it lias touched? Do you not now realize what many of your associates realized last year, that the cause of International bimetallism is hopeless, except HS America leads the way? Do you not now realize that the contest between gold monometallism and Independent free coinage? Thai is the issuft that is to be fought out in this country and it will never be fought out until free coinage wins. This people will not accept the bondage of the London banters. They shall not rule us.

Our forefathers won their independence an hundred years and it ihall not be surrendered to tne money-bags of England today. The old war for independence required eight years.

An impassioned orator who thinks he thinks he has a great mission to uplift i the downtrodden masses declares that 1 "no man can acquire $100,000 in a long lifetime unless he does it by robbery." Probably it would be impossible for the orator who made this statement to get $100,000 except by stealing it.

But whoa he says nobody can do it he dashes his little brains against a solid of fact. Let us see. There is the sweet song bird Patti. Her earnings half a dozen years ago from her voice alone footed up considerably over Did she rob those who gladly paid their money to hear her matchless music? A thing is honestly worth just what people are willing to pay for it. Patti's sing- ing waa worth over $1,000.000 to those who loved to hear it; otherwise they would not have paid so much for the privilege of listening.

Let us see again. There is farming, which the impassioned orator in question would probably claim to be the most'toilsome and poorest paid occupation of all. Well, in one of the eastern states there is a farmer, now a century old, who is worth $100,000. He had no exceptional advantages except a clear, shrewd head and a determined will. In an interview not long since he said: "A man should lay up $1,000 for every year of his life.

That is what I have done off my His farm is one of the show places of his neighborhood, and he hiraself one of the most respected citizens far and near. Simply by using his brains and putting his heart into his business he accumulated $100,000. Did he rob anybody? First Alaskan Kailroad. The climate of southern Alaska at least is not too severe to admit of the building of a railway in midwinter. The contractors for the first railroad in Alaska expect to have their line ready to transport freight and passengers by Jan.

15. The road will be a short one. The first part of it, from Dyea to Dyea canyon, at the foot of Chilioot pass, will be only eight miles long on the JleveL At the month of Dyea canyon the ascent of the pass begins. Here the road will be metamorphosed into what is wiled an aerial tramway. It will be divided into stages to soit the stesp ascent.

At intervals of every hundred feet across the rass strong iron will be planted firmly in'the earth, aim across these will be strung the cables which support the cars. From Dyea canyon to Sheep Gamp, a distance of four miles, the first aerial line will be stretched. The average ascent here is 250 feet to the mile. From Sheep Camp to Summit, miles, is the second stage. Thence down the other side from ST.

mm ir. to Crater lake the third aerial tramway will convey the miner and his goods. The builders of the road estimate the outfic for 200 miners at 120 tons and they say they can put this amount of goods and passengers over their route in one day. It will undoubtedly be the best paying railroad in the world. If now some equally enterprising firm will quickly construct a road around the dangerous part of the rapids of the Yukon, the Chilkoot route will at once become the grand highway to the Klondike.

The tulip craze of a century ago promises to be repeated in some measure by the race horse craze. The fact that Langtry won in one race $200,000 ou Merman at Newmarket will send the prices for breeding animals of famous running blood up several points. Just previous to the Newmarket race the government of Hungary paid an Irish sporting man $100,000 for the 8-year- old thoroughbred Galtee More, Charles Read of New York a few years ago paid for St. Blaise. The highest price on record for a horse, however, is the $150,000 given by W.

O'B. McDonongh of California for the British bred racer Ormonde. Maybe the horse business is dead. But these little facts do not look like it. The coast of the state of California is long as from the southern point of Maine to the northern corner of South Carolina- Few people on the Atlantic coast appreciate this fact.

The Asiatic trade on our Pacific coast is developing at the rate of millions a year. The $2,900,000 which the last congress appropriated to deepen and improve the harbor of San Pedro in southern California will be money wisely spent. Why the nations of Europe should be to fly at one another's throats and destroy one another is something mn Americac cannot understand.
