A USELESS DENIAL.
The Alaska Commercial Company
takes tho trouble to deny a rumor
that it had instructed its agents at
St. Michaels and the commanders of
its vessels to bring stranded miners
rand prospectors, who may find their
way to St. Michaels, back to civiliza
tion, as a matter of charity. Tbe
company emphatically says that it
has no intention of wasting any phil
anthropy unon fool-hardy advent
urers. No person who knows any
thing of the methcd of these legalized
pirates of Behriug sea, ever suspected
them of knowing what philanthropy
means. Its members are "out for
the stuff," and don't care how they
get it. Protected by the govern
ment in the monopoly of killing
seals, they refuse, and have refused
for years to pay one cent on their
contract with the government, while
demanding a flotilla of warships to
keep Canadians and others off the
high seas.
It would not be difficult to be
lieve that this company would make
& poor devil of a stow-away miner
walk the plank to save the price of
his feed if it were not afraid tbe
criminal law might not be stretched
far enough to protect them. They
would use a stomach pump on a
baby for half a gill of its mother's
milk, if they could sell the milk, or
dig up their grandmother's shin
bones and sell them for shot-gun
barrels, if they were straight enough.
It is time, high time, that the gov
ernment bring these pelagic plunder
ers up to taw, and make them
"knuckle down."
Major A. D. Reynolds of Tennes
see, by close application to business
for thirty years, accumulated a for
tune of $525,000. . lie also accumu
lated old age, but he got his religion,
which had bung fire during all these
thirty yeais, in a lump sum. Then
the major concluded that the busi
ness he was following, that of manu
facturing tobacco, was not in accord
with the religious belief that he had
accepted, and so the good major con
cluded to retire from the sinful busi
ness. It would seem but a natural
sequence that he should have de
stroyed the wicked plant, but he
didn't, he sold it for $30,000. Sold
it to another wicked and sinful mor
tal who wanted to go plunging
through a sinful career. The major
of course was not his "brother's
keeper." His own poor old withered
and tobacco-soaked soul was all he
could look after and more, and so
the added $30,000, the price of bis
salvation, to his-$525,000, the result
of his sin, and goes prancing to his
reward.
Silver having struck the down
grade.
everything and everybody
seems to delight in giving it a kick.
Mexico still clings to it, but must
perforce soon let go and go to the
gold standard. It is at least proba
ble that in the near future silver will
no longer be classed as a presious
metal, and even now it is approach
ing the ratio of 1 to 16 as compared
with copper. There is, indeed, noth
ing to maintain it as a precious
metal when it is demonetized by the
world, i In tbe fine arts a limited
quantity will be used, but even for
purposes of plate and table service it
will be no longer used when its
cheapness makes it common. Crystal
and porcelain are prettier and much
better adapted to such uses. As a
jnoney metal, except as subsidiary
coins, its days are over, ana there
seems to be no other purpose under
the sun for which its properties qual
ify it.
The Cubans seem in a fair way of
settine their independence without
the aid of Uncle Sam. This is in
deed gratifying to Cuban sympa
thizers in this country, for we are
well acquainted with Uncle Samuel,
and know that if Cuba does not get
her independence without his assist
ance, she will never get it at all. He
is a sympathetic old codger, the
fountain of whose tears is ever ready
to slop ever. He can weep over the
misfortunes of the down-trodden,
even though his own foot is upon
them, and he can say, "It is really
too bad, don't you know," while the
moisture gathers behind his specs,
until one would think the old hypo
crite had some feeling in him. He
may haye, but it is never expressed
in a tangible shape. He is never
sorry "a dollar's worth," not even if
measured by a silver dollar.
A rich strike is reported ironi
Trinity county, California, that
makes even the Klondike tales grow
tame. The Graves brothers drove
a tunnel twenty-five feet into an iron
ledge, taking out considerable gold,
but at that distance a pocket was
struck from which $42,000 worth of
gold was taken in four days, one
piece being 3 feet long, 2 feet wide
and 5 inches thick. Besides this, it
is supposed there is another $100,000
worth of gold in the pocket, and the
ledge itself will yield from $300 to
$500 to t:ie ton.
Captain Thomas, of the steamer
Mexico, now sunk in 500 feet of
water, was asked in Seattle if he
could find the rock on which she
struck, and this, too, in spite of the
fact that he already had found it in
the dark.

Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country aa
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever eince. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a triend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cared. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to ine. Yours
gratefully, Henry 6teinberer, Allen
town, Pa. Sold by Blakeley & Hough

Diarrhoea Kemedy always affords
prompt relief. For sale by Blakeley &

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, as they eannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to enre it you must take inter-,
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
tbe blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in tbis country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of tbe two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. . Send for testimonials,
