MISERY IN MEXICO.
Whether it be big or little, war is
jus* what General Sherman said it
wis. Gradually, down in Mexico,
they are reaching a realization of
tuir fact; business is upset; indus
try is arrested; the machinery of
commerce is disorganized, and arnoug
a people, not lemarkabiy provident in
t.mes of plenty, want begins to
stalk about. There are convincing in
i'" cations that if the present state
oi affairs shall continue in Mexico
for any length of time, there will be
misery among the people, widespread
and most distressful.
This development will make the olO
look in Mexico more gioomy than
ever. Such misery in itself will be
convincing proof to the people that
the government is. weak to the point
of impotency. The effect of that be
lief will only complicate matters. As
p. pular faith declines, the govern
ment will lose what prestige it has;
ai'd there does not seem to be any
prospect oi that unity of purpose and
action among the dissatisfied which
v < eld lead to the establishment of
a stronger government.
There seems to be seme power
ulich restrains tae Diaz administra
tion from making an effective appeal
'o the people by assurance of some
of the reforms that are demanded.
Ir vestigation would probably show
that there were vested interests be
h't'd all this, directed by foreigners
who have scant sympathy for the
common people of Mexico; whose re
gard for the people rests primarily
on the fact that it is a fine field in
which to get rich. To ignore those
irterests, or to promise popular re
forms which would tren.-h upon their
p. ?fit- making, would be to discour
age industry, frighten capital and
bring on a financial stringency that
would seriously affect people of all
t'asses. Yet much of that industry
is based upon industrial servility, if
rot abject slavery; and the con
sciousness of the fact in the patri
otic Mexican heart is what stimulates
aud keeps alive the present revolt.
There is call for statemanship in
Mexico ? wisdom in public administra
tion of the highest order. Unless
such wisdom appears and becomes
active, and tha* soon, there will be
rlu.os in the land of "Manyana." ?

CIVILIZATION SAVING LIVES.
India is a teeming country of more
than 300,000, 000 inhabitants, but
even in such a land the death of
8S.000 human beings in the shortest
month of the year from the plague
alone, is a frightful record. That
mortality is at the rate of about 1,
056,000 in a year, as the harvest of
death from one disease, which means
much more than half as many vic
tims as the entire number of deaths
in the United States, in the same
period.
The plague is a filth disease, like
cholera, and the latter pestilence is
also a constant destroyer of life in
Hindustan. Both take their heavy
to'l of death because of the con
ditions of existence in a country
s 1 subject to the influence of many
superstitions and staggering under
the weight o' many barbarous cus
t< ms and beliefs. India is a con
stant and terribly impressive object
lesson on the destructiveness of many
fcroes which are foreign to the mod
e. n civilization of Europe and America
I' is often said that the boasted
progress of the age only encumbers
life and fetters it with many chains,
without doing anything to better the
v *al cond lions of existence, but the
faisity of this dreary view of the pro
gress of the world is easily perceived
In the great contrast between the old
and the new, the modern and the out
grown. in respect to health and life
itself. The mortality rates in coun
tries still barbaric or savage make
it ridiculous to deny the real value
of modern civilization. ? Cleveland

War is still what General Sherman
said it was. That little one on the

discovery that not only this country

More Strikes
Are Reported
FAIRBANKS, Feb. 20 ? Because
good pay has just been picked up
just above him on the Lushbaugh &
Sandstrom lay in the Niggerhead
group on Lower Dome creek, Jerry
Paulson, who has put down many
holes with the drill this winter, is
i-reparing to sink a working shaft,
proceeding on the assumption that
the drill was used at a spot where
:ii ? pay was weak.
Lushbaugh & Sandstrom bedrocked
their working shaft last Thursday
and they landed oa pay fully as good
as that Walter Fisher worked on the
next lay above oa the same group
tnis last summer, or ground that will
go over $2 to the square foot of bed
rook.
The day before Walter Fisher bed
roofed a new hole and again landed
on pay that is better than ?2 to the
square foot The pay on the Nigger
bead is now known to be at least
500 feet wide. The ground at this
point, which is well out in the Chat
an'ka flats away from the mouth of
Dome, is about 175 feet in depth.
Jerry Paulson, in opening up his
lease, will use the large plant which
Ben Boone used last season in work
ing out four below Cleary. He will
r-ove it over to Dome at once and
begin sinking.
