Even the United States govern
ment lias grown wild on the Clon
dyke, and will send a warship to
convoy the steamer Portlani from
the Yukon. The owners of the Port
land have represented to the govern
ment that Chinese pirates have con
cocted a plot to capture the Portland
with her alleged cargo of $2,000,000
worth of gold, and the official suck
ers at Washington have taken the
bait. It is true that the Chinese at
one time knew more about the sail
ing dates of the Portland than any
one except the owners of the old
smuggler; butit is preposterous to
even presume that the Chinese
pirates know anything about the dis
covery of the Clondyke. Mr. Weare
has succeeded in getting a further
advertisement of his transportation
line, for which the government, no
donbt, has his sincere thanks.
The correspondent of the East
Oregonian, on his way to Alaska,
writes that paper from Astoria, and
shows his fitness for the position by
saying in closing his letter: "Late
reports are to the effect that no one
is safe unless be has enough for one
year. lie must also have a familiar
ity with boating on mountain streams,
The passage over the Dyea route
is extremely dangerous." As the
newspapers of the coast have been
filled with these statements since the
beginning of the excitement, one is
forced into admiration of the perspi
cacity of the correspondent who
caught on so readity. We really
think he has missed his calling, for
in the realms of ancient historj' be
would prove a bright and 6hming
light.
The grand total made by trifles is
something astounding when one be
gins to make calculations concerning
them. For instance, theie are 75,
000,000 people in the United States.
The expenditure by each of these
persons of one cent would make the
8Dug sum of $750,000. Basing its
calculations on this fact, the New
Orleans Picayune makes some esti
mates as to what causes hard times.
It will be seen from the above that
the curtailing of expenses, amount
ing to five cents a day, by each per
son in the United States, would stop
the expenditure of $1,369,750,000.
This alone taken from the volume of
business of the country would cause
hard times.
Several of our exchanges note that
barvest hands are scarce and wages
higher on account of the Clondyke
lush. As tew of the grain-raising
counties of Oregon have furnished
more than a dozen Clondykers, and
as most of these were men who never
worked in the harvest fields, it is fair
to presume that the corner grocery,
where fabulous wealth may be talked
about and wild daj- dreams indulged
in, has a greater attraction for some
people than the golden," but hot,
grtin fields. Of one thousand in
dustrious men who stay at home and
another thousand who go to the gold
fields, the former collectively will
have more money at the end of the
year than the latter.
Mr. Scott, of the Oregonian, and
Mr. D. P. Thompson are comparing
records. Ssott says Thompson was
a director of the Portland Savings
Bank when it broke, and asks that
gentleman, while delivering his lec
tures on finance, to explain his theo
ries of finance in connection there
with. Mr. Thompson denies being
such director. Mr. Thompson charges
Mr. Scott with being a director of
the Oregon National Bank at the
time it failed. Scott denies being
such director. Each has invited the
other to "produce the books.""
Honors seem to be easy.
"Jimmy the Diver," who returned
to Tacoma from the Clondyke a
week or two ago, is having a fine
lime' with bis money, and, if reports
are true, will be ready to be grub
staked again long before spring. He
amuses himself by giving away nug
gets, and imagines the inexhaustible
wealth of the Incas is his. Bret
Harte describes the career of just
such a character in the tale of "Mil
ton Perkins, late an owner in White
Pine."
When jGovernor Tanner of Illi
nois appeared in the parade at Chi
cago upon the unveiling of the Logan
monument, he was greeted every
where with hisses and cries of "Allen
bill!" "Gas bill!" "Yerkes," etc.
Chicago people think the governor
sold out to the street-car and gas
trusts. There is some hope for
American institutions yet.
Fifty years ago the United States
compelled Japan to open her ports
to the world, and now Japan pro
poses to make - the United Slates
keep the porta of Hawaii open.
Such are the changes time in its
rounds brings.

No Longer Any Need to Go Throogb
Europe with Them.
Up to times within t'he memory of
living1 men, almost no one of means
traveled through Kurope without a
courier. Before railroads were built
and before good guide books were print
ed, he was almost indispensable. His
tribe survives, writes. Herbert Luce in
Going1 Abroad, but in greatly dimin
ished numbers. To the self-reliant
traveler he is of no use whatever. In
deed, he is frequently a positive in
cumbrance, and worse. To my mind,
one of the great pleasures of travel is
in learning- to travel by myself. There
is satisfaction, pleasure and education
in planning routes, deciphering' time
tables, making- bargains, learning by
observation the lay of the land'.
The time may have been when a cour
ier could' save a traveler more than his
cost. Most certainly that is not the ease
now. On the contrary, as he gets a per
centage on every purchase his party
makes (which, of course, comes out of
the purchaser in increased' price), and
as it is often for his interest to advise
the more costly route, the more costly
hotel, or the more costly excursion, he
eats "up much more than his wages,
while saving positively nothing-. Bean
declares that in a two weeks trip in
southern Spain, which he made side by
side with a couple having a courier, he
invariably reached the hotel first, got
better 500ms, saw all the sights to as
.Good advantage; yet the courier was
of his kind an expert. The fact is that
travel has become so general, tourist
companies. railroads-andilaricMordKhave
so well studded its needp, books are so
plentiful, that you couldn't very well
get off the track or have a mishap if you
tried.
