"GbtSoptlraSaila Capital QUEEN OF KLONDIKE. Driven Mad by the Friz Story Problem. Oh, who was the sister of Joe Bijou? And who was the brother of Chilon? And who found the plates In the old bayou.

Under hill or the villain? And who was the gal that swished and swashed? And who oh who the detective? And where in the world was the voice that scritched? And where and whence the connective? And who was the flutter that clutched In the hall? And wbo manufactured the- laughter? And why was the which and the what i t. heard up the greenbacks it redeemed or received otherwise, and thus kep them out of the hands of the people-, who would use them to draw gold out of the Treasury with. This is one of the impractigable suggestions of the Sun. The revenues of the government consist largely of custom-house receipts. When there is a commercial panie the receipts from that source fall off suddenly and heavily.

Then the revenues fail unexpectedly to meet the expenses. Then tha Sun plan for breaking the "endless chain" breaks down utterly. Supposing that at such a moment the Treasury Should be called on for much gold, what would the Sun advise it to do to get th gold It heeded? Does the Sun think that In such an emergency the government should sell 4 per cent "coin" bonds at a loss, because they are not made payable in gold either principal or ihterest? Supposing the Treasury held some greenbacks and Sherman notes in reser'e. Does the Sun think they could be- sold at par for gold when there was such a demand on the Treasury for that metal. Would the Sun advise the Treasury to sell for gold and sliver certificates and national bank notes it might hold? Were it to do that it Would have to pay a premium, and the payment of a premium of even 1 per cent would cause a run on the government to redeem all the Sherman notes and greenbacks, amounting to 46d A Woman's Experiences in the Alaska Gold Regions, Mr.

CI a re nee Berry Te4l of Sr TTeve Bridal Tour She Picked np a 231 Nugget What She Wore, From the San Francisco Chronicle. Mrs. Clarence Berry had an experience in tha Arctic region wluchv very few women would care to encounter. For more than eighteen months she has struggled side by side with her husband in what appeared to be a vain pursuit of riches. For months and months it seemed as if the quest were hopeless, but one day news came that gold in unlimited quantities had been found all along the banks of the Klondike.

At that time Mrs. Berry, with her husband, was at Forty Mile camp, eome fifty-five miles away from the discovery made by Cormac. She determined quickly tliat it would be best for her husband to strike out for the new digging, while she stayed behind and looked after the camp. Berry was loth to go, but after some persuasion, started for the Klondike district, accompanied by his brother Fred. The trials of the wife from that time until she joiued her husband, thirty days later, form a remarkable chapter in tbe story of Alaska's great strike, "The story of my experience in Alaska and in the gold fields of the KJondike district Is simple in the extreme," said Mrs.

Berry yesterday, "but. at the same time, I think. I may say that few women could gave gone through successfully whet I have encountered in the last ten months. "On the 15th of March last year I married Mr. Crry and came direct to San Francisco, where we spent two or three days.

From hero we sailed for Juneau, and there our difficulties began. "We had been told that the trial from Juneau to Forty Mile was uncertain and dangerous and too difficult for any woman to undertake. In spite of that, however, I determined to make the trip, for I had left home with the intention of spending at least five years in the wilds of Alaska. The journey from Juneau to Forty Mile camp i a romance in its way. It was full of exciting incidents, privations, and.

in many instances, eecape from death seined almost Impossible. "From Juneau we took the iteamr to Dyea, and once there our hard work rally commenced. The transportation was slow, the Cog teams were not accustomed to the climate, and altogether we appeared to be in a bad fix. It was March 24 when we left Juneau, and it was not until June 10 that we arrived at eur destination. "The journey over ice and snow was an experience that I am not likely soon to forget.

The accommodations for a woman were very poor, though we had the best that was obtainable. We carried with us a stove and tent, and the latter we pitched every night on some spot where the snow Was hard. Our beds were made of boughs. Mr. Berry was careful to ee that I had every comfort possible.

Just before leaving Juneau I was given a large beer ekin robe, which added much to my comfort. "I rode all the way from Juneau to the mining camp. During the Journey I wae strapped to the sled or boat, as the case might be, find while it Was considerably better than walking, there wee always an uncertainty about my position which made it uncomfortable. At first it was vfery cold, but after a time I got used to it. One of the greatest difficultiae we had to encounter Was the indistinctness of the trail.

The enow fell So heavi ly and the winds blew so high that it frequently happened We Were able only to follow the trail with the greatest difficulty. "I think the most remarkable experience I had during the overland journey Was the trip over Lake Labarge. When we reached that point we found the lake broken up in the day time, though at night there waa a thin Ice Which made travel possible. We saw that It would be impracticable to make the portage from there to the rlvr, so We determined to make the trip during the night. I am sure I don't know Just how it happened, for I was asleep most of the time, one night In May I retired to my berth on a scow which We had built, and W0k up the next morning thirty-six mile away.

We had crossed the lake in one night, an undertaking which 1 do not think had ever been accomplished before or since. I was told by my husband that a sail had been hoisted on the scow. Which helped the dogs over the lake. "I Want to say jut here that the trip' over the Juneau route when the Inkei and Hvers are broken Up and filled with Moiling Ice Is particularly hazardous to womoh. They are not nearly so well able to stand the hardships ahd dangers Incident to Such a Journey.

I do not think I Would bo willing to make the same trip again, though If my husband goes back next spring I shall probably accompany him. "When we arrived at Forty Mile we found that there was absolutely fiothlr.ff to do. My husband struck a claim an! made some money In that way, but It was hardly enough to keep us going. In anticipation of Just such luck, however, we had brought ample supplies With u. and also some money, and ho we did not suffer.

Just as we wre beginning to despair, there came the news of the wonderful find on the Klondike. I told my husband the best thing he cou! 1 do would be to go Immediately to that section, lie objected at first, but HnaJJy ykldtd to my persuasion, and started for tlie Clggiuiff. "I was left behind by my own r-quet to fix up tli; camp and to take all th provisions we had to the new discovery. I can not begin to tell you of the hardships I encountered. The river Was already b-f-glnning to show sinsrn of floating ice.

and I knew it weutd be oaly a short time before it would be completely froien over. FfneUr, however, I rt i i ver iiiin iutMnii aj carted on tbe Aretie for the nw iJldorado. Abwtt hf way uj.

A COLORED CITIZKN'S GIFT FOB EB- t'CATIOJfk We eall attention to the letter bf Dennis Hope, a representative Tb'peRa eoldfed man, in another column of the Capital in behalf of Mr. Stephens' Industrial insti tute for Colored Youth. The announce ment of a gift of a scholarship to an in-stitati'on of this kind from a colored is werthy ef more than passing men tion. It indicates a gfbwlhg recognition ahnong the befct classes of our colored people of the practical character of Mr.

Stephens' plnns to provide training for colored boys and girls in trades in which they will be assured of a respectable livelihood. The Institute 19 precisely along the line of what Booker Washington ha ucceeded ih doing for his rdee In the outh, ahd just as soon as it receives the support and baeking of the colored peo ple of Topeka we believe it6 suceess will not fall shoTt of the remarkable results in that older ahd more firmly established nstitute. Dennis Hope supports a neph ew in Washington's school and appreciates the usefulness of such Institutions in putting colored boys and girls at profitable work instead of leaving them aim lessly t5 roam the streets Sfld grow up without Special fltnes for any trade or calling. The Capital has always believed that this plan of teaching the young col ored youth trades is the most practical cheme for helping- the race that has been sugjrestd since the wan nd it is to the redit of the colored people that it or iginated with a hog'ro snti r.o't with a white man. What Washington his done Stephens can do.

Let the colored people of Topeka rally around this industrial school, encourage Mr. and Mrs. Stephens with their united and hearty supportv send their children and where they are able contribute a scholarship. Emfs Hope has set a good example by this ASt of fat sighted generosity. If the farmers of the west have pail off the lion's share of the mortgages on their fields ard heme lugubriously remark! the City Times in its funereal tones, "tfiey owe ho thanks to the gold sharks or the protection Pandits.

The Times' picture of the western farther paying his mortgage Is net true to life. These debts have been paid off Imagine the farmers of Kansas "confining themselves to the bare iKcesffities of life!

If an abundance of the richest cream and the finest butter, with fried chicken and a variety of other meats, two or three different kinds of pie, vegetables galore and sucfe like axo "the bare necessities- of what would the Times consider good Irving for the farmer? If the Times writer had ever experienced the esthetic! pleasure of witnessing the average farmer's family starting oft to church of a Sunday In a two-seated carriage behind a team of spanking horses of high Kentucky anostry, the boys and girls dressed in the latest styles of city clothes, and forming altogether as happy a famiry party as can be seen in any city in th land, or in any land, he would never nave attempted to find a calamity argument in the payment of the farm mortgages of the west.

The Sun's Futile Chicago Tribune. The New York Sun observes, with an air of mock sincerity, that 'The endless chain was broken the mo ment the revenues became equal to the expenses. Instantly the. drain upon the gold reserve stopped, and aeon after the reserve began to increase." After making this curious statement it proceeds, with feigned earnestness, to give its plan for currency reform. It is "make our revenues equal to your expenses, and the endless chain will not be heard of." That is a plan, indeed, but the difficulty lies in the application of it.

In the first place, the revenues are hot equal to the expenses how. They have not Deen equal since 1SP3. They will not be equal fof a year to come, at least. The demand for the redemption of greenbacks in gold has ceased fof the time being, but not because the recipe of the Sun has been tried. Some other cause must have been at work.

The "endless ehalh" ceased running last year because the sale of 4 per cent bonds had futfiiihed the gold heeded for redemption- purpbses, ahd because Mr. Cleveland had let it be kriowh that he woald keep on sellittg bonds till he Went out of office Sooner thah that the government should be Unable to redeem Its notes In gold on demand. In addition to that the balance of trade was so much In favor of this country that there could not be a demand for gold for the purpose of settling trade balances. For the twelve months of the exports exceeded the imports by 55iH millions. DUrihg the first fire months of 1S97 the excels has beert 3 millions, in spite of the heavy anticipatory Imports.

If there had ben ah adverse balance of trade of 00 millions in 1STO heavy gold exports Would have been necessary. That gold would hare been drawn out of the Treasury with greenbacks. Then dent Cleveland would have been forced to sell vast additional quantities of 4 per cent "coin" bonds to gst gold t6 replenish a Treasury reserve which had been depleted, hot because the people doubted the Soundness of their Currency, but because they had bought more goods thhn th'iy hdd sold. This is on of the fatal defects ot th? present currency system. The government has Outstanding 306 millions of greenbacks which are redeemable On demand.

Redemption may be demanded On a grand sealf not merely When there is a doubt as to the soundness of thS cufTehcy. as lh 1SS3, but when there is an adverse balance of trade, ah acute commercial panio, a stock-Jobbing gambling excitement, or the collapse of a speculative boom. AS loh as the government has not a gold dollar behind e'very greenback, so long Is It HatHe to be put in a hole Wheft there i. for atiy a Sudden, feharp demand for gold. Why Should the govern ment be left in such a petilbuS That Is a question the Suh does not at tempt to ansWer.

Nobodr would Ulieve it were it to answer In the affirmative.

The Sun assumes gold never will be needed. But it may be needed any moment if Its "plan" is adopted.

Then how will gold be obtained for the redemption of the government's notes? Does the Sun prefer to leave the solution to luck and chance? The Sun may be ready to put blind faith In providence. Sensible people Will not do so where money matters are concerned. The only way of getting gold at present is to sell "coin" bonds for what they will fetch, thus "increasing the bonded debt in time of peace," and adding to the in terest bill which the people must pay. The Sun is not in favor of doing that. What is it in favor of doing in case its plan breaks down? It says: "Provide Ly law that the greenbacks redeemed with gold shall be held, in a fund by themselves and reissue only In exchange for gold.

Then there Will be no endless chain, deficit or no deficit." Such a fund would simply excite the greed of a future Cogress. Whenever it seemed as if revenues Would not equal the appropriations Congress Gesired to make, a requisition would be mid on that fund. It would be claimed tho money was "lying idle." Does the Sun really believe that it is wisa for the federal government to un dertaka the Of furnishing the banks, impSfters, speculators, stock gamoters, and others With gold coin whenever they want it in an amount equal to the volume of greenbacks and Sherman notes that may be offered and reoffered for redemp IS that a gars or prudent polley? If the answer is "Yfes" then explain Why it is safe. Do not assert merely, out justify. Nothing Can be plainer to "men of ordinary intelligence that if the government is to go on redeeming and reissuing gfaen backs indefinitely Congress must be called on by the administration to give it author Ity to sell bonds payable in gold, principal and interest, so that He Who gives gold for those bonds may bfe sure he will get as good money as h6 gives.

Why should he not? Why should there be any doubt on that point? If the Secretary of the Treasury and the President Were given this authority thev Would always be able to procure gold when needed for the redemption of it demand hotes, and the knowledge that the government could always get gold when needed would lessen greatly the danger of a panic rush for gold. This plan will work. That of the Sun Is insane and Impotent. When an emergency came It Would break down utterly and leave the government stranded. The Sun must try again.

Sugar. New York gun. Sine much popular attention is given to the affairs of the sugar company and its fortunes as affected by politics, a great many people must be wondering now whether the benefit or the favor or what ever it is called to the sugar business was greater in the Wilson tariff or in the Dingley tariff, though wo say this in blame or praise of neither. So far as we can learn the Wilson tariff provided for greater profits in sugar than the Dingley tariff. Leaving this momentous subject to the further consideration of those for whom it has i particular fascination, we express the hepe that the sugar manufacturing industry, and every other reputable Industry In the United States, will straightway, under the regulations prescribed by the new tariff, make money, prosper, and be happy.

We shall be happy yet, You bet. It Is Coming. Miss Confidence still refuses to ge out in society. She is waiting for the return of General Prosperity. Louisville Dis natch.
