WASHINGTON, February l4.-The Peo-
pie OF Alaska are yearning for Ter
ritorial Government with longing that
knows Of no moderation. Through their
mouthpiece, Mr.. Bail, they have STIR
red up the Committee on Elections for
representation; through Mr.. Ball, they
have beseeched the Committee on Ter.
ritories lor n Governor and Legislature;
and now, through the same ubiquitous and
versatile person, are making the lives Of
the members on the Committee on Judlci-
ary burden in his demands for a judicial
system, and the establishment Of courts.
The Territory, Us It now stands, Is for the
purpose Of convenience, within the jurisdlc-
ton Of the courts Of Oregon. 1t Is un.
necessary to say, however. that the citizens
OF Alaska do not very frequently run down
to Oregon to sue and be sued, and there is
practically no punishment for crime. As
Mr. Ball plaintively said in his address to
the committee: my people may all be
murdered some night, and what can we do
about it."
The plan proposed by Mr. Ball contem-
plates court like that established in each
Of the Territories, but inasmuch as there are
but three hundred and sixty white people
in the Territory, and the revenues would
not support a county justice of the peace,
such IN expensive scheme is not viewed
with favor by the committee. 1t is dis
posed, however, to establish in Alaska
small branch Of the Oregon courts, which
shall set each year a sufficient length OF
time to attend to the criminal and civil
business of the Territory, and over which
tue Supreme Court Of Oregon shall have ap-
pelate jurisdiction.

TIE Cincinnati Gasetle is struck by the
evidence in the mortality tables that half
Of the human race seem born for a brief
existence on earth. Why this fearful per-
centage Of deaths among young children,
it asks. This is indeed u puzzling question.
There is no answer to it except in another
question. Why do half the blossoms on
the trees fall off without bearing fruit?
They give out perfume for short season
load the air with grateful aroma-thus
cxalting all nature, and doing good 10 man,
but apparently serving no other purpose.
That one half Of the human race do die,
and seem destined to die, under five years
is shown by nearly all the mortality tables
Of the cities. In the country districts no
such tables are kept, but perhaps the aver
age there is not very much diminished.
Here in Wheeling the mortality statistics
for 1881 show that out Of total Of 6l2
deaths, $3.50 were OF children not over 8
years OF age, which is rather more than
half These children fall away as blossoms
that have perfumed the air ior-E brief
time-made glad many hearts-chastened
and refined many natures both in their
lives and deaths. And this, and only this,
seems to have been their mission.

ST. LOUIS, February 13-The suspension
Of the commission house Of Geo. II. Small
( Co. was announced this morning. GThis
firm has done Il large business with the
South in grain, provisions, etc, aud has
bought pretty heavy lines Of options in
grain for customers in that section. The
late, break in wheat forced the firm to put
up large amount Of margins and most Of
their customers sent the firm one to three
days drafts on themselves, but for unknown
reasons many Of these drafts have been re-
turned protested, and the house found 1t
necessary TO suspend. Mr.. Small says their
liabilities here are comparatively light, and
that II their customers will pay the mar
gins due, which amount to about twenty
thousand dollars, the firm will be able to
pay up in the course OF couple Of months
and leave something over.

WASHINGTON, February l4.-The Com

agreed to n bill to-day increasing the pay
Of auxiliary letter carriers from four hun.

to one thousand dollars This bill is a sub
stitute for numetous bills bearing upon the
subject. The bill further provides that all
letter carriers shall be appointed from the
auxiliary force hereafter. This, it is
thought, will greatly improve the efficiency
of the letter carrier force throughout the
country. The advance in pay is absolute
ly demanded, as it is shown that the aux

as was contemplated by the law under
which the auxiliary force is organized.
