THE FEAR THAT BREAKS THE NERVES.
In tin* long clia.se after old (Jeronimo, General Miles fin
ally brought the heliograph to bear, and the mysterious
“eye,” blazing out here and then on the promonotories of the
long mountain side, finally broke down the nerves of the old
savage and he gave up and surrendered. He was sure that the
strange “eye” was searching out hi.- hiding places and telling
the pale faces what trails he was following.
That was but thirty years ago, I ut now a double terror is
following the bandits in that same region. The aviator is rid
jug the air along the same mountain crests and what he dis
covers he makes that same air carry in invisible messages to
the nemesis that is pursuing those bandits.
The knowledge that the foe pursuing them possesses such
an equipment, must give those cutthroats as creepy a feeling
as did the superstitious fear that overwhelmed the old scalp
raiser thirty years ago, the thought that must haunt their sleep
when they lie down at night must be the same one that long ngb
was set to the words: “Awake! Awake! The Huns are at
your gates.”
A terror, the extent of which cannot be comprehended, but
which is ever imminent is about the most trying one on the
nerves of men that can lx* framed. And when men know that
the vengeance that is pursuing them will accept no terms except
their lives, and that it is in truth eternal justice that is on their
trail, there is always before their eyes such a sword as was
•suspended over the gate of the garden and which was a notice
that for them hope had been left behind.

THE TRUTH ABOUT DYES.
A practical and scientific manufacturer of woolen tr\
tiles, writing in acknowledgment of the full report, in the .Am
erican Economist, of the recent dyestuff conference, says:
It i- very interesting reading. The unfortunate part of the
whole situation is that Hedfield’s department has made it a
business of persistently misrepresenting the actual conditions.
As a matter of fact, there is not, today, a simple color like black
made in this country for dyeing wexd which is fast to light and
fulling.
This is tin* simple truth of the matter, and' the situation
may as well be looked squarely in the face. American dye
makers have done the best they could under the insufficient
protection accorded them; but they have fallen short of meet
ing all requirements. Complete efficiency in dye making will
never come until a long period of ample protection shall have
been assured dye makers.
-:o:
FUNDAMENTALS.
It' your outlook on life is wholesome and you have nothing
■worth while to think ujxm, it is permissible to let your mind
drift to the subject of fundamentals. Fundamentals are all
right as long as you don’t take them seriously. But as long
as you begin to believe what you say about basic principles and
elementary laws you are likely to become an uplifter or a
blackhand artist. The trouble is that when you get to brooding
over such massive matters and the eternal consequences that
attend them, yon invariably come to the conclusion that hu
manity is dallying in the primrose path. And then, nine times
out of ten you decide to reform something. The golden rule
of reforming is: “Do unto others as you would like to do unto
ethers.” But nobody pays any attention to it. It is just as
popular in theory and unpopular in practice as any other fun
damental laws of conduct are. Uplift, like, charity, should’be
gin close up.

TERRITORIAL MINE INSPECTOR’S REPORT.
The report of the Alaska territorial mine inspector, Wil
liam Maloney, for the year 1915, gives the estimated value of
rt.e mineral production as $31,826,940, which amount is higher
than that of 1914 by more than $12,000,000. The proportion of
copper is $14,633,950, and for gold $16,752,000. The official
inspected' 168 placer mines, 31 quartz mines and 50 dredges,
together employing about 3,000 men. There were 25 fatal and
479 noil-fatal accidents, of which latter 92 were serious and
387 slight. There was an ample supply of labor throughout the
territory. Brief notes of all the mining districts were includedj
in the report, also the names of dredging, placer mining and
lode mining companies.

The pleasant pastime of the United States treasurer in
transferring national liabilities to the column of assets may
not dispel “the winter of"our discontent,” Imt it aids to make
all true Americans hot.
-—--;o:
It would he interesting to come back KK> year* hence to
see if posterity had endorsed Congress in the selection of fifty
“immortals.”

They can’t take the tariff out of politics, but they pan take
it out of the hands of the free trade tariff tinkers.
