SOME WILD VAY-DREAMS.
Surely tbe Clondyke excitement
has developed many kinds and de
grees ot madness. No scheme is too
visionary to attract apporently sensi
ble men ; no idea too wild to catch
and hold innumerable followers; no
dream of the tenderfoot, who does
not know a Hungarian riffle from a
sluice fork, so fairy-like that it will
not unloosen the purse strings that
have been tied in a double hard knot
for years. Gold is the mighty magi
cian that dazzles the e3-es and blunts
the vision of its victims, while it
lures them on to the fields of ever
lasting ice.
Tbe rudderless minds of the insane
asylums could not evolve wilder
or more senseless theories than those
resulting from the deliberations of
gold-mad men. A warp of fancy
and a woof of dreams?, woven by the
delirious fingers of tbe ecstatic into a
cloth of the field of gold, furnishes
the material from which these vision
aries make the garments for their
ruoonings. Aladdin has rubbed his
ring, the earth has opened, and in the
far-away Clondyke every icicle has
become a diamond, every snowball a
pearl, every pebble a golden nugget;
beans and sow-belly at long range
become an epicurean feast, and 72
below zero is glamoured into the
spicy breezes of Cathay. Mosqui
toes and gnats are no longer tor
ments, but become Nature's soothing
emolients and aids to slumber.
Work, hardship and suffering are a
best girl, a hammock and peaches
and cream. A hundred-pound pack
on the back up the icy sides of Chil
cat pass is synonymous with biking
down grade of a summer evening.
Love's young dream is as prosy as
digging potatoes compared to it.
Il is really too bid that the awak
ening shall come. Aladdin will lose
bis lamp, the fairy and airy palaces
will vanish, the dreams will fade, the
visions pale before the sunshine of
returning reason.
The election in Ohio comes off in
October and promises to be the most
hotly contested one ever held in the
6tate. The Democracy have it in
for Hanna, and as the legislature is
to be eleeted that chooses his suc
cessor, everything that can be done
to accomplish his defeat will be
tried. In talking with a prominent
politician who lives in Ohio, but is
now visiting the coast, be expressed
the above views, and added that the
coal-miners' strike would be of great
assistance to the Democrats, and
might throw tbe victory to them, as
Hanna is largely interested in coal
mines.
The term of United States Marshal
Grady expires by limitation early in
September, and it is therefore prob
able his successor will be named
within the next two weeks. Should
the president not appoint, Justice
Field will have the naming of the
temporary marshal. Justice Field
will also have tbe naming of a suc
cessor to United States Attorney
Murphy should the president fail to
appoint, and as bis term also expires
in September, those on the anxious
seat are liable to soon have their
doubts settled.
Any old thing is good enough to
get to Alaska on. Tbe old steamer
Zliza Anderson that was built so
long ago that most steamboat people
had forgotten her, has been equipped
for the Alaska trade, and is to go to j
the mouth of the Yukon st that. She
was in the boneyard for a dozen
years, and lay at the bottom of tbe
Sound for a year or two, a sunken
wreck; but .she is good enough for
the gold-seekers.
The action of the Canadian gov
ernment in taxing sold miners of the
Yukon twenty per cent of their prod
ucts has caused a storm of protests
from British Columbians. We are
pleased to note that our neighbors
across the border are actuated by a
desire to see fair play, but we fear
the Canadian government will pay
little heed to their protests. The
Canadian government is "sot in its
ways."
A woman's Clondyke syndicate
expedition has been organized in
New York City. Mrs. Helen Varick
Boswell is president, and among the
patronesses are Mrs. Jennie June
Crowlew, Mrs. Laura Weare Walter,
Chicago, aud other ladies from the
leading cities. It would not be a
bad thing if the ladies should spend
a winter in Alaska and get some of
their surplus names frost-bitten:
A Mrs. Wilson, who resides at
Birmingham, Vermont, has her bed
stead covered with postage stamps,
The stamps are glued to the bed
stead and then covered with a coat
of varnish. Covering a bedstead
with postage stamps, it strikes us, is
about the most dangerous thing a
lone, lorn woman could do.
