escaped the punishment he deserved, ex-

msnt he SO richly deserves. We have seen
women and girls knocked down in the
street by an army officer and 8 L. s. postal
agent: we have seen those tro officers, on
the same day, knock down inoHensiye
Russians, and the army officer hand the
postal agent pistol to kill an American.
We have known army officers to force their
way into private Russian houses and at
tempt to take liberties with the women Ia
mates, that, IN any other country but
Alaska would cost them their lives. We
have seen two companies Of soldiers sta,
taIoned right III the city, many Of whom
were not tit 10 run at large outside the
walls Of State prison, aud who forced
their way into Russian houses as though
it was 3 part Of theiy duty. And what has
been the result Of all this? Simply that
al the refined and respectable portion of
