antpathy to tho Socialist movement, and
there Is no doubt that FnITzscnE and HAS
sELsfANS have shown themselves extremely
aggressive in their public utteWnces.
The refusal to cooperate In sicncng
these bold assailants Of the existing order
might afford plausible cxqNsc for a new
election. And it is natural thtt the Govern
mcnt should look for very different re-
suits from tho next contest at the
polls, now that the Socialist laws en-
able thcm TO WELD tremendous
engine Of pressure and seduction. Already
the German Conservatives and the German
Imperial party can muster 1l5 votes, and
they need to gain but "a to give them
majority OF the Rcichstag. Now. last Sep
tember they ran very closely behind the
successful candidates in upward OF hun
drcd districts, and it is not impossible that
vigorous employment Of the new coercive
machinery would turn the scale. 1t s we'll
nigh certain that Parliament chosen I'M

bic to B1sMARcK's designs than that which

mentarly an attack by Indians outnumbcr-
ing them one hundred to one, Yet deter.
mined to sell as dcarlyas possible their own
lives and the lives Of their wives and chill
drcn. For oil that is kown to the contrary
at Washington or at San Francisco. the
massacre may already have occurred
Tho troops formerly stationed at Sitka
we're withdrawn from that post, where they
were sadly needed, aud transferred to nm
Island in San Francisco Bay at tho instance
of the Alaska Commercial Comrany, and
through the influence of JONI SHERMAN.
1t is the constant policy OF the fur mo-
nopolists to drive out OF the Territory OF
Alaska all white men who are not their own
agents or tools. Tho Government inspcc-
tors stationed Mt the seal islands TO prevent
an Illegal slaughter Of seals are made to be
dependent upon the company for their sub
eistonco. There were formerly two Govern
mont agents on cach island, but the Rings
influence at Washington long ago secured
the removal OF one from each island. BY
the friendly aid Of john SHERMAN the COM
pany has managed TO control the Custom
House at Sitka. Ono by one the checks
against extensive and profitable frauds on
tho part OF the company have been swept
away. Tho last check was the presence at
Sitka Of Intelligent and honorable army
officers. whose observations and disintcr-
csted reports gave the people information
on tho condition of affairs in the Territory.
independent Of the company's statements.
Then JOHN SHERMAN had the troops with.
drawn. and now we hear that the lives Of
the Americans at Sitka depend upon the
timely arrival OF British gunboatl
Since the exclusive right Of taking 100000
seals annually was given by Congress to
this company, at the urgent solicitation OF
JOHN SHERMAN and other influential friends
OF the Ring, the Governments income from
the seal fisheries has averaged $4,000 a
year. During the same time the profits OF
the company have amounted, on an average.
to s7O6, $50 yearly. The Government invest
cd s7,00O,oOO in Alaska. The company's paid
up capital is S379,Ol6.
The seal, which is a warm blooded animal,
has largely contributed to the mysterious
wealth Of john SHERMAN, whose blood is as
cold as q llsh's.

The Roach Subsidy.

RoAcH's Brazilian line has been running
for nearly year without a subsidy. We
have not heard that JOHN ROACH has OK
hibited his balance sheet at Washington
He certainly should be requested to do so.
II JOHN Roach has been running his
steamships all this time at loss. he is O
fool. II the enterprise is profitable one 1t
Is piece OF outrageous impudence on his
part to ask Congress TO give him u bonus
OF $4,000 q year for ten years for
making money on his own account. There
would be just as much reason for voting a
gratuity to the Western Union Telegraph
Company or to Mr.. VANpERDILT's railroad,
or TO the Chemical Bank.
The people do not pay these crushing
taxes for the purpose Of bolstering up pri-
vate enterprises that are bankrupt, or Of
swelling the profits Of enterprises that are
successful.

The Threatened Massacre in Alaska.

A piece Of extraordinary news comes from
the Pacific coast. by way OF the State De-
partment at Washington. The gunboat Os-
prey has sailed from Vancouvers Island for
Sitka TO protect the lives of the American
citizens there, who are in daily terror OF
wholesale massacre by tho Indians. The
Osprey is not an American vessel. She be-
longs TO her Majestys navy.
For nearly two years the white settlers in
Alaska have been destitute Of any protec-
tion by our own Government. Since the
withdrawal Of the troops from Sitia, the
whites have been at the mercy OF the saw
ages who surround that little settlement.
The latest accounts from Sitka represent
the situation as dangerous in the extreme.
Not long ago two Indians murdered JAMES
BROWN, white settler, while he lay in his
cabin asleep. They hacked his body to
pieces with an axe and threw the remains
into the ocean, plunder being the only motive
OF the crime. The murdercrs were captured,
confessed their guilt, and were sent to San
Francisco on the steamer California, to be
turned over to the United STATES District
Attorney This exasperated the Heat body
OF Indians, who now threaten to a1nihilato

The Legislature is not in mood for work.
Although more than four hundred bills have
been introduced in the Assembly. ana there is
enough business on hand to keep il employed
as legislation goes in Albany. for two months
to come. that body has given itself a WASHING
TONS birthday recess until Tuesday next. The
Senate has followed suit. and 50 it happens that
Just ms the sessions work is well under way
business is suspended. The Legislatures FREE
quent adjournments are inexcusable. Both
Houses have n practice Of dccampng carly on
Friday-so early that the day is spoiled Tor
work-and returning for short session on
Monday. so short that nothing TO speak OF is
done in 1t. With Friday, Saturday. Sunday.
and Monday counted out. there remain but
three days for business. This is one reason
why sessions are protracted until warm weather
comes. But that Friday adjournment would
soon ceaso were railroad passes withheld from
members.
