THE FCRSEAL FARCE.
It would be amusing', if it were
not disgustiDg, to study the actions of
the United States government over
the fur seals of Behring Sea. It is a
source of perpetual turmoil between
this government and England, and
on one or two occasions has almost
led to war. The whole cry is, "We
must protect the seals or they will
become extinct." The truth is, the
government has protected the seals
by turning them over to the tender
mercies ot a corporation, the cor
poration paying, or rather agreeing to
pay, a stated sum for the privilege of
exterminating them. No American
citizen is allowed to kill a seal, that
is none except the employees of this
company.
It is bad enough that this ' state of
affairs exists; but when on top of it
the company refuses, and has refused
and neglected to pay the nominal
sum charged it ever since 1892,
while at the same time it Is urging
the government, and successfully,
too, to quarrel with England over
the seals, the whole affair becomes
nauseating.
The best thing that can be done is
to let the seals go. let everybody
have a chance at them, and let them
be exterminated and the .everlasting
subject of dispute along with them.
It costs the government more to
police, unsuccessfully, the Behring
Sea than all the furs are worth. Let
England once understand that we
will stand in and assist in extermin
ating the seals, and she will Be too
willing to assist in protecting them.
London is the only place where the
skins are dressed, and the only place
where any money is made out of the
industry, except that made by the
legalized pirates of 'the North sea, the
Alaska Commercial Company. '
The race for the Clondyke is like
the uprising of a great army of vol
unteers. There is the same casting
off of comfort on the part of those
that go, the same trial of patient
waiting for loving ones left behind.
And it is by such hardship and such
tribulation that men and women are
made. It is not even necessary that
we should live if the price of exist
ence is to be discontent with our lot
and a constant grumble at fate. Bet
ter that a man should struggle with
the cold and hunger of an Arctic
winter than to embitter his .own and
others' lives with ceaseless complain
ing. Better that a community
should be lifted out of a rut of gloom
and repining even by tragedies such
as are in store in the Yukon's wilds,
than that it should forever languish
in inaction and bitter self accusation.
Someone has blessed the Clondyke
because some new Bret Harte will
celebrate its comedy and tragedy.
But the real blessing lies in the fact
that it will make men, who are the
source of all literature; that it will
by something lead us back to nature,
and that life will through it be poured
into the veins of sluggish communi
ties everywhere. Oregonian.
The big rush for the Clondyke for
this season will soon be over, for in
two weeks -more it will be too late
to start with- any certainty of reach
ing the end of the journey. It is
probable that Juneau will be crowd
ed all winter by the impatient ones,
who will get that far and spend the
winter there for the purpose of get
ting an early . start. It is beyond
question that ' every claim on the
Clondyke was located before the
news of the 6trike reached the out
side world, hence those now rushing
wildly after sudden wealth will have'
to find it on creeks not yet pros
pected. The country is as large 33
the whole of the United States east
of the Mississippi,' and it will take
years to prospect it. The gold has
been there some thousands of years",
and it is not at all likely that any ot
it will fun .away this winter, and
those who go in in the spring will
have just as good chances as those
who let their greed blind their judg
ment and. endure the rigors of an
Alaskan winter.
One of the amusing features of the
Cloadyke strike is the claim of TV. J.
Arkell to the whole, region, because
three years ago he and some other
fellow made a map of the country,
and the other chap staked out some
claims on the Clondyke. Afterwards
this same man went. down to Africa
to make a map of a part of that coun
try, and presumably claim all he
could draw a picture of. When one
draws a mental picture of the brawny
bearded fellows on the Clondyke, who
after infinite toil and hardship have
secured their' little claims and are
working them, and that other picture
of a fellow with a lead pencil and a
map, at present in New York City, it
does not take long to realize haw
ethereal the chances are of bis get
ting any of it. On the Clondyke
miners' laws prevail. There are no
high-priced attorneys, no venal
judges, and if Arkell will go up there
to try his rights, he will get dis
couraged.

What use is therein eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, for it will
not be digested. Yon must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will come, and with it a re
lish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy ; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects permanent.
Doctors prescribe Laxol because it
has all the virtues of Castor Oil and is
palatable.
