FRIDAY, MARCH %. 1873.
ABANDONED ALASKA.
EDWARD ELDRlDGE.

A good government is the great.
est public blessing. What a soul in
harmony with the nature Of things is
TO the individual, a strong, order
compelling, law enforcing govern.
ment is to the state or nation
Among lawless men, such boon is
a greater necessity; the semblance,
or lack of it, is but a curse, beget.
ting habits criminal and contempt
for all law.
Under just such curse, Alaska.
the youngest of our territories, seems
now to be laboring. Where the
fault lies, we cannot tell. We are
not among those who ascribe
this to the influence of the Alaska
Commercial Company. We deplore
the fact, and point out the wrongs
being done, leaving the responsi.
bility upon the law makers of our
country. Thei's is the remedy, il
the source Of the evil be or be moi

At Fort Wrangel there are now
and will be until the Stikine river
opens, over 1000 Whites and a:
many more Indians. These Whites
are miners and adventurers; deter
mined men eager Cor gain, lax il
morals. They are under no law

Our correspondents description o
the outraging and burning aliv,
of an Indian woman, we fear is bu
the beginning of graver wrongs ant
greater crimes. Such things per
mitted, retaliation must ensue. 4
Christian would not submit quetI,
to such outrages, much less the un
civilized Indians. If our govern
ment desires another Indian wal

lives, its policy, or want of policy re

PUYALLUP HOP. P.CULTURE.-The
hop'growers of the Puyallup Valley,
are making their usual preparations
for cultivating and harvesting this
years crop, despite the low prices
which proved so disastrous to most
of the yield Of last season. The loss
on the last shipments was from one
to two cents on the pound. With a
favorable season this year, the grow.
ers will be able to retrieve their loss.
es, but another stagnation, will lead
to the abandonment of the business
by many who have thousands of dol.
lars invested in the enterprise. A
change of crop would be attended
with much expense, and the destruc.
ton OF many acres of healthy vines,
and the conviction seems to be very
general that the present depression
IN prices is of temporary nature. -

TEMPERANCE WoRK..-The tenn.
perance workers in this town have
concluded to defer holding their
open meetings perhaps until fall.
The evenings are becoming so much
shorter, and approaching summer
brings so much besides to occupy
the immediate attention of those who
have been most actively engaged in
these meetings that it was deemed
advisable to take slight rest as we'll
as tender portion of that article to
the public. These open meetings
have been most hattering success
every time they have been held, and
we opine they will be hailed with
pleasure, on their resumption, by all.
BY means Of them much interest has
been created in the temperance work
where otherwise all would have been
cold and lileless upon this great and
important subject. In Victoria
where the movement originated, il
mas worked ike charm, resulting IN
large increase in the number OF
Good Templars. G. w. G. T..
Shakespeare, whose efforts for the
cause have been untiring, is very
warm in praise of this plan of work
ing, claiming very justly that it af
fords an opportunity to urge the
claims of Temperance upon class o
people whom they would otherwis,
be unable to reach. jefferson Lodge
at this place, has largely increased
her membership during the past win
ter, and has fair prospect of bette
times ahead, and it is generally con
ceded that this state of things has re
suited from fair trial of the plan o
holding open, sociable meetings, Cal
other lodges report as favorably?

AUToMAToNs.-Becsuse we spoke,
in simple justice to Delegate Jacobs,
of his earnest labors in advancing the
best interests of his constituents, the
Olympia "Standard," a paper that
deems its very existence dependent
upon the vehemence with which il
denounces al who oppose it in poll
tics, and the Tacoma Herald" the
fawning lackey of the N. P. r. r.
Co., tookeeup the howl upon key
note which indicates but too plainly
their respective objects in thus con-
Quoting their resistless onslaught.
OF course Mr.. Jacobs is completely
enthusiastically swept from the
face of the political horizon by the
fatal breath of these avenging angels,
Had Mr.. Jacobs been a Democrat,
the war-horse of the Standard"
would have divided the time between
tugging away at its masters loads,
and biting and kicking viciously at
those who seem to look upon him
with disfavor; its present attitude
toward him is the result of blindly
following stereotyped line Of duty.
Had he been in favor Of the fraudulent
monopoly known as the N. P. r. r.
Co., the Herald" would long ere
this have discovered more commend
able points in him than it now does
Objectionable ones. Verify, consist
ency thou art at discount.

THE Olympia people are dissatis.

CINCINNATI FESTIVAL.
Second Day.

CINCINNATI, May l6.-The beautiful
May weather of to-day attracted an i'm
mense crowd upon the streets and at the
various places OF interest in the city and
suburbs. The decorations are so proiuse
upon the various business houses, hotels,
ard private residences that upon some of
the more prominent squares one liter
ally walks under q canopy of evergreen,
bunting, ly res, harps and other devices.
Notwithstanding the large number of
people already here, railroad trains and
steamers are arriving at intervals with
hundreds of excursionists, and number o.
hs Is sud upper stories OF business blocks
are being provided with cots and mat
rasses to accommodate temporary So
jOurners, so that all coming will find
lodgings, though it would seem that
the managers did not anticipate half
the number of excursionists who have
come up. From the present indica-
tlOns the entertainment this even.
ing will be almost as largely attended
rs the one last evening, when 1t was
estimated 5000 people were in the build
ing. Every seat has already been sold.
The music at the matinee will be of a
varied character, opening with an over
ture from Taunhsuser, after which Miss
Carey and Mr.. Adams will render airs
from Verdi, Weber and Myerbeer; these
to be followed by an orchestra perform.

will be given, IN which Mrs. OsgoCd will

touching the relations between the
United States and Mexico, and spoke at
length in favor thereof.
The resolution was then referred to the
Committee on Foreiga Relations, and

At the opening of the House this morn.

snce Of members on either side Of the
chamber, indicating that the expected
msrshaling Of the Democratic forces was
not yet complete.
AS soon as the reading of yesterday
journal was concluded, Mr.. Wood arose
and inquired whether the Senate resolu-
tion for the final adjournment Of the ses-
sion was not question Of higher priv.
lege than the pending question Of Mr.
Potter's resolution.
Mr.. Hale suggested that that was 8

The Speaker, in reply to MIR. Wood,
gave it as his opinion that The question Of
final adjournment was q question OF
privilege between the two Houses
somewhat analogous TO the report OF q
conference committee, which had been
always held TO be question Of the high
est privilege, taking precedence even Of
a motion to adjourn. In this instance
the consideration of that question had
been postponed TIL to-day, and It now

fishes crop reports from all over Ontario
and portion OF Quebec. The principal
feature noted is the extraordinary and
unprecedented rapidity OF growth at this
esrlv date. The recent rains have done
a good deal of damage IN low lying dis
tricts and in some places the frost OF the
last few nights has blighted the previous
ly fair prospects The fruit trees and
gardens have suffered more than the
grsln crops, and it is possible the latter
may recover to greater extent than
might at first be supposed. The hay crop
will undoubtedly be heavy and is already
past all danger from drought. In some
localities there is danger OF the grain be-
coming so rank that injury will result
from tha. source.

The HanIon.PIaisted Race.

TORONTO, May Is. The HanlOn-
Plsisted scull race, two miles straight
away, for one thousand dollars side,
occurred this afternoon. The time ar
ranged for the start was between and 8
o'clock P. NJ. AT 3 o'clock the water was
lumpy and threatening, toward 4 the
wind began to die, and at 5 the bay was
moderately calm. The race, however
was not started till 6:06. Hanlon taking
water first, st once took the lead, rowing
% to his opponents 35. After rowing
200 yards, Plaisted' made squirt,
but Hanlon with his deliberate stroke,
which he never quickened, recovered his
advantage and gradually drew ahead at
the half way buoy. Plsisted quickened
to 36 strokes and was pulling for all he
was worth, yet Hsnlon led by two boat
lengths and 1t was conceded that the race
was virtually decided. The intense ex-
citement which characterized the rSce
from the start was not abated,
however, till the winning buoy was reach
ed, with Hanlon four lengths ahead.
The official time was not announced,
L
against slight breeze. The bay was
literally crowded with boats OF all kind,
but no confusion whatever occurred, the
course having been buoyed at short in
torvals and admirable arrangements
made for keeping it clear. Fully fifty
thousand persons witnessed the race. A
banquet was given Hsnlon tonight, at
which Paisted, Courtney and their
friends were guests.
