begin to think this Is an ungta,cful couutr
aud that genius Is no, appreciated here.
MI my efforts 10 serve the public have been
unavailing.

The climate they say is pleasant after you get
used TO Il.
There are none Of the sudden change. Of tenn.
Peraiure you experience here.
II freezes the year round.
II never rains there snow is the neares, a,,-
proach 20 u they ever experience.
Winter usually sets in about the first of Noven,-
Der, and lasts till the middle Of next November
They have short summer about the first of
August.
Which lasts about twenty minutes.
The people avail themselves OF this Opportunity
To lay in their winter supplies.
The population Is Of mixed decent. like thn, of
the Eastern States.
The principal races are Esquimaux Seals
Russians, Bears aud walrnses.
The chief productions of the country are cr
furs, aurora borealisrs. ice, whales ircbcfgs
whale.0il, and Ice.
The ice crop is the larges, in the United States.
staiisiician ia the State Department has
computed that tax of half II cent a pound on all
the ice produced IN this new territory would pay
OF the national Debt In six months. with n La.
ancc sufficient 10 pay ,hr salary Of the Secretary
of State.
To say nothing oi the income tax that nigh,
bc COLLECTED from the Esqnimaux.
Tie peculiar wants of the people would open

dusiry.
Theprhcipal diet of the Russians s fried candles
Sine the introduction of kerosene oil the candle
trade has declined and IL is nothing like what il
wa when Garibaldi made long sizes at Staten
l-innd
The annexation To the States Of so large n
candle consuming population would create u
rivalry 10 the trade
But tie political advantages are still greater

Iostnasirts il the, had nothing To- do
There is "a suspicion that, owing 10 their very
northern situation, the popular ideas ofihr popn-
lation nigh, run 10 an extreme that would out.
rtdiral the Radicals
Their views on the suffrage question mig ghi out
bc-rlrr lBcccher
Suppose. for instance. they insisted on ,Aleu-
ding the iranchise not only 10 the human popu-
lation of all races ages and sexes, but give ihe
vote To the seals ani walrnses
liarnum's learned seal might he one ofihc first
Senators sent TO Washington.
J think ~ going ont TO the territory 10 run for
Congress.
\ fellow could retire on the proceeds or one
term
The ainuun, uf mileage To a member of Congress
from the North Pole to Washington a, the pre-
sent rates, would amount TO $l39, s99 70.
man could afford 20 20 through a great
variety OF temperature at this rate.
The new terTitOr, has not been NAMED vet and
Secretary Seward j. open for proposals on the
suljeci.
Expecting to represent tie country officially
also feel interested.
We would like to have something original and
expressive
Being Of Russian extraction, a name with q
NuscOviie flavor, would be appropriate.
All Russian names end With oif or ski.
This has divided public opinion into two
parties, known as the offs aud " skis.
belong TO the skis" Ny friend o. Pakc
" ho belongs 70 the same party, has suggested
the appropriate name OF "Corioanuski. -
Modesiy forbidS my cxpataing on the cuphony
and elegance OF this name.
"Grojjinski sounds well, but his Indians
don belong TO the Esquimax tribes.
'llighandryski would be very appropriate
This name was suggested by a report that Joe
Reeve was going ont TO the territory TO try aud
induce the Esquimax TO adopt the paid fire
department system.
The offs have a grca, many names.
'DamlongwayoG is Russian, peculiar and
expressive.
'Eversofarofr is not so emphatic.
'Jumpingo;f is not bad for the extreme Of
creation.
The subject OF names opens q wide field for
discussion, and will leave il to Congress, who
is paid 10 attend 10 such business.
] have however, devised coat Of arms for
the new State.
An icchcrg illuminated with the rays OF the
aurora boTealis. u wairus rampant and the uni
versal Yankee seated on n barrel OF whale oil
whiting the north pole with a jack knife.
Motto "Fidf jHsii'ia na':s,dl.HR.' "Le, jus
tiee be done TO the seals
Yours, on ice.
