( The Klondike and Its Prospects New gold fields always raise great excitements among people who seek fortune when it floats by wholesale, either in the imaginations, or in reality. "The love of money" we are told, "is the root of all evil." The climatic condition of the Klondike confirms the fact that fortune seekers will risk their lives to any extreme of heat or cold, or brave any danger of whatever nature to secure the coveted prize. The information that I have obtained in relation to the Klondike, I wculd not venture, nor risk the perils for all the Klondike possessions, pure and simple. But may not all the visions and fairy tales of great fortunes of gold in the Klondike be a myth and a delusion, after all. Is it not possible that the gold excitement of the far away, ever frozen Klondike, is only a single gold standard and gold bug; scheme to deceive the people in view of the approaching elections. John Wanmaker, in an interview to a World reporter remarked, that "in case $250,000,000 of gold was mined in the Klondike, that would "settle the money question." It would "restore the gold to the government that went abroad." Good common tense should teach a man better than that. If $10,000,000,000 of gold were mined at the Klondike, what benefit would that be to the general govern ment ? When the gold is mined the government does not own the gold. It is individual, or corporate wealth which seeks government protection and government bonds at high rates of interest for which it taxes the mass es of the people by high tariffs to pay the interest in gold. Let the people not be deceived by such Wanamaker wishy washy stuff. J- om; cf two ways. The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one ot two ways. The first way is from im perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treat ment cf other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unheahliv kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the blad der, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or diseases, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and ex traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, and bladder remedy, is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Tli Ketlrement of Col. Grunt From the Hoard of Kilticution An Old Quentloa of MornU luvolvod Talk of -Mujorullj Cundlduto. Special New York Letter. The most recent political ftensatlon of this geiieatlon-loving town Is the resignation of Col. Kred D. Grant, as Commissioner of Police. The reasons that ore behind this resignation are not entirely revealed by the published statements that have been made. While the reasons that have been given to the public are undoubtedly among the most weighty, it Is not believed that they are the only reasons that operated upon Col. Grant's mind. The assigned reaton Is one about which there IS much discussion, as it involves a ques tion of moral responsibility over which there has been controversy for ages of time, and It is all involved in the que tion, "Shall we do evil that good may come?" The introduction of Commissioner Morse into the Board, witnessed the Col. Fred Grant. ' Inauguration of the spy system for tha detection of, certain crimes, and the expenditure of money to obtain evi dence against disorderly houses, which Col. Grant refused to sanction. He in sists that some other way should be found to enforce the law, besides luring and encouraging victims to the com mission of crime, for the purpose of arresting them. But vice and crime flourish In the great city like a green ibay tree, and the beet sentiment of the people has been awakened to the necessity for the application of vigor ous methods, of some kind which will prove effective In eradicating it. While there are many moralists who will vig orously sustain the position which Col. Grant has taken, even these will con fess that the oven and shameless llount ing of vice Is a growing evil which must be curbed in some manner, even if drastic and unusual methods are adopted to accomplish this end. Bui beneath these public and aaelgned rea eons for Col. Grant's resignation po liticians have felt that they could dis cover another move in the great scheme in which so many ambitious men are engaged, for controlling tho government of Greater New York, for the next four years. Few men realize the great stako for which the leaders of parties, and faotlous in parties, are now making preparations to contend in the coming election. Tho enfcrmous power of the local government will have a greater influence upon the future political af fairs of the State than any other one thing or perhaps than all other things combined ot a purely organization, or patronage-considered nature. In the older days ot the political his tory of the Stale, Thurlow Weed and Peter Cagger used to remark that the patronage of the canals was elective in influencing almost to the point of control, fully 10,000 votes. The expen ditures of the canals in those days could not have exceeded $1,000,000 a year, including what were known as extraordinary repairs in which depart ment the contractors made their money. Now if the disbursement of $1,000,000 a' year for public works twenty-five years ago was regarded of euch far-reaching importance, what ehall we say of the expenditure of fifty or sixty times that sum and its effect upon a people living within a circle of fifteen miles and comprising a variety of voters unknown In the State at the time referred toT . Even it we make full allowance ot the operations of the civil service law and the lmprovments and restrictions which experience has thrown around the administration of law by officials where large expenditures of public money is involved, we shall still be forced to the conclusion that no such stupenduous stake of political power was ever before Involved in a single municipal election. This fact explains the reason why tho papers, not alone of the great city, but of the entire Union, are turning tlu.'Ir attention to the approaching elec tion, and every movement of politic ians of prominence, is construed as having some bearing upon the great contest which is to be fought out in November.

The immense Independent vote in the city is suOlcIent of Itself to turn the tide cither way. This vote is reinforced by a public press which has no equal in the world, and this Is exercising lu influence upon the greatest reading public in the world twice In every twenty-four hours. With this press reasonably well united, the result could be foretold In advance as It was Id 1894. But the press Is not yet united, and possibly will not be. Many of the papers are controlled by monled syn dicates which have certain purposes to accomplish, aud certain contracts which they seek to obtain from the administration that will come into power next January. These papers, conducted with such Ekill and ability as to conceal from the public view the real motives which lie behind their action, and appealing to the electorate for a verdict which they allege is vital to its highest Interests, will yieiu enor mous influence, and perhaps exercise a dominating control. Party organizations are, it is true, somewhat demoralized. The Republi can by its astounding victory of last year, and the Demoorats by their over whelming defeat. Both ar strength ening their lines and doing what they can to gain their old time organiza tion control of the voters. The for mer are handicapped by the revolt ol a great many who supported Mayor Strong three years ago, who object ti Senator Vlatt's control in the party. The organization Republicans ob jects to the Independent or Mugwump Influence in the city's affairs and thus Mr. Piatt and his advisers are between two fires f increasing intensity. The situation in the opposing camp is lit tle different so far as united and cohe sive action gives promise. The cam pagn of last year drove all the wealthy men out of Tammany Hall, and If they go back they will be required to serve a reasonable probation. But Droha- tion is not what these men now seek, but control. Under these circumstanc es the inter-party strife waxes hot aud furious. He who can predict with any degree of certainty who the Democrats or the Republicans, or even tho Inde pendents will nominate, can establish an immediate reputation as a prophet. A few weeks ago the nomination of President Low appeared to be inevi table. He is probably still the most likely to foe named, but events are hap pening which reveal the uncertainties of the situation. Brooklyn would prob ably give him an enormous vote and the high-class vote of the Burrough of Manhattan would be for him, with Its inlluence and its money. The reg ular Republicans want a man who is a more extreme partisan, but prefer Low to defeat with another. There are those who believe that the resignation of Col. Grant may lead to his nomination. He is enough of a partisan to Buit the politicians, and his hold upon the wealthy and aristo cratic voters will pivsve very strong If it Is exercised to its fullest capacity. There is a general belief that the stand he has now taken will serve to greatly popularize his canvass, and prevent the opposition from rallying as they cer tainly would in considerable force against some other candidates. Col. Grant did not prove so formid able a candidate as his friends expect ed when he ran for Secretary of State ten years ago, but that was in an era of Democratic victory which no one could have checked by his own person ality. If Col. Grant is passed by, there are many who think that Mr. Depew can .be Induced to try for the prize. Mis' candidacy would certainly lift the campaign out of the ruts In which It is accustomed to run, and give a vigor and aggressiveness hitherto un known. Many believe that he could be elected, and that his administration of the great office under the new con ditions which will surround it, would be a brim ant page upon the history ot the metropolis. Democrats of the Whltney-Sheehan-Flower combine flatter themselves that they can control the organization, not withstanding their bolt of a years ago. The Bryan supporters deny this, and have organized wjthln the Democratic party what Is known as the League of Loyal Democrats. This organization already embraces a membership ten times as large as tho entire gold vote polled in the Slate last year, and its members will bolt and run other can didates unless the Chicago platform is adhered to in the local convention!!.

Henry George, a strong possibility,, Tammany may not name him, but If it should name a man who opposed Bryan last year, George would receive at the ballot box at least 100,000 of the 135, )00 votes cast a yea ago for Bryan. Out of nearly one hundred designs cuhmitted for the proposed public li brary buildiug, the committee, accord ing to the plans of competition, select ed the authors of the six most meritor ious drawings in the open competition and invited six other architects to take part In the second competition. The drawings in the second competition will be judged by a jury cf seveu per sons, consisting of three practising ar chitects to be selected by the competi tors themselves, three members of the Board of Trustees to be named here after the board, and the Director of the New York Public Library. The lury, by a majority vote, is to select the designs, a,t least three in number, which they find' to be on the whole the most meritorious, and is to send them to the trustees, naming them in the or der of their merit, and adding such comments and criticisms upon thera as the jury or any of its members may see fit to make. The trustees will se le:t one of the designs thus submitted and will send It to the Board of Esti mate and Apportionment for its ap proval, recommending the author as tho architect for the building. If the choice of the trustees should fall upon oma of the architects who took part in tho preliminary competition already held, the trustees may, as provided in the terms of the competition, associate with him in the conduct and execution of the work some other architect to ba agreed upon between him and them, and may divide the fees between the two, according, to the division of tho work and responsibility. The jury will finally decide all differences ot opinion In this matter. CHARLES F. FOLLEN.
