A Chance for Sound Currency.
Within a week the imports of gold
from Europe have exceeded , five mil-
lions, and the reason of the flow of the
golden tide in this direction is not far
to seek. American exports to Europe
during the month of August reached
$60,515,000, and ‘ the imports from
Europe only $20,175,000, giving a bal_
ance to our credit to be settled in some
way of over $40,000,000, or more than
twice the amount of the month’s im-
ports. As the September trade still
showedaheavy balance on the same
side, gold imports are a logical se-
quence, and the $5,000,0000 that have
been shipped within-a week is only the
first instalment of an importation of
European gold that is likely to exceed
any former movement in this direction
in the history of the country. A
With the unprecedented influx of
gold from abroad, and the highest
home production of gold since the pal-
my days of California placer mining,
the coming Congress will be derelict in
its duty if it does not take advantage
of the present favorable financial con-
dition to put an end to the endless
chain system of finance which draws
" the gold reServe out of the United
States Treasury every time there is an
unfavorable trade balance or a loss of
business confidence from any cause.
There never was and probably never
ewill be :again a better opportunity than
the present for putting our currency
on the soundest kind of a sound basis,
. and if Congress fails to take advantage
of existing favorable conditions to do
this it will be because it is controlled . . p , p
; again resounds from all the mountains,
by demagogues instead of statesmen.
A
The Small Minority.
It was not surprising that there was
found to be a minority of 1 to 10 against
in the Winter, when pneumonia, rheu-
matism and other diseases incident to
extreme cold weather uSually find many
victims.
According to Mr. Metcalf, the doctor
goes about his professional duties with
a caseof medicines and surgical instru-
ments in one hand and a buckskin bag
for gold dust in the other. 'As there is
very little money in the camp, 'gold
dust forms the principal medium of ex-
change, and each time the doctor calls
upon a. patient he is given enough nug-
gets to pay the bill. When Mr. Met-
calf left Dawson, the doctor had not had
time to arrange a schedule of prices,
but he thinks a tariff sheet made up as
follows would not be far out of the way:
One bottle of soothing syrup 8 8.00
Prescribing for frost-bitten ear 7.50
Setting a broken leg 225.00
Amputating an arm' 400.00
“It is very difficult to get medicine
and surgical instruments over the pass,”
said Mr. Metcalf, ‘and doctors’ bills are
therefore extremely high. Doctors are
also very scarce. There is only one
other physician of any standing in Daw-
son. Dr. Le Blanc expects to do very
well this winte1.'.—-Det1'oit Journal.

THE SWISS GOOD-NIGHT.
A Touching Custom Among the Herds-
men of the Mountains.
Among the lofty mountains and ele-
vated valleys of Switzerland, the Al-
pine horn has another use besides that-
of sounding the far-famed Ranz des
Vaches, or cow song; and this is of a
very solemn and impressive nature,
says Our Dumb Animals. When the
sun has set in the valley, and the
snowy summits of the mountains
gleam with golden light, the herds-
man Who dwells upon the highest hab-
itable spot takes his horn'and pro~
nounces clearly and loudly through it,
as through a. speaking trumpet, “Praise
the Lord God.” As soon as the sound
is heard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue fromtheirhutsfitake their
Alpine horns and repeat the same
word-s. This frequently lasts a quarter
of an hour, and the-call resounds from
all the mountains and rocky cliffs
around. Silence at last settles over
the scene. All the herdsmen kneel
and pray with uncovered heads. Mean-
time, it has become quite dark. “Good-
night!” at last calls thehighestherds-
man through his ,hornx. “Good-night”
tzne horns of the herdsmen and the
rocky cliffs. The mountaineers then
retire to their dwellings and to rest.

A Doctor’s Bill In Alaska.
Charles H. Mctcaif, who returned
. from the Klondike last night, brought
, news concerning the welfare of Dr. P
7.1. B. LO Blane, the Detroit physician
who accompanied him to Alaska last
January. Mr. Metcalf says that when
he left Dawson City, last July, Dr. Le
Blanc had a practice from which he re-
‘ ceived an income of $100 a day. As the
doctor had been in’th‘e camp only six
weeks, he was much encouraged at the
