TRAGEDY IN ALASKA.

Bloody Array Between white Mon and In
d1ans-Murders ana LynohlnE.
The steamer Eureka from the North
brings news of horrible tragedy at the
Dakan mine, near Harrisburg, Alaska.
Two whisky sellers named Rennie and
Martin got drunk and uncoDsciously ex.
changed cabins during the night. Indians
broke into Martins cabin, where Rennie
was sleeping and stole bottle of whisky.
As soon as the fact was discovered the
whisky men started after the Indians, and
in fight with them Rennie was killed.
The citizens in force then arrested three of
the Indians, confining chem in the guard
house.
During the temporary absence of the
guard the Indians procured pistol, shoot
ing the former on bis return. They then
fled. The report of the pistol awoke Major
Givens, formerly of the United States
army, who rushed to tho rescue and was
shot down wounded. The Indians then
took an axe and hacked his head to
pieces, when they attempted to make good
their escape, but a number of miners who
had reached the scene shot one of them
down and arrested another. The third
escaped. The infuriated citizens consti-
tuted themselves jury and hanged the
captured Indian on the spot. The next
day Colonel Barry ordered the Indian
chiefs to produce the escaped Indian, and
he was quickly delivered up and promptly
hanged.

San FranoIsco's Mnlionaires.

San Francisco has long list of abnor-
mally rich men. There arc more million
aire fortunes in San Francisco than in any
other American city, and, we presume,
more than in any European city of cor
responding population. unless it may
be Amsterdam or Frankfort. It is
a curious fact, and without one exception,
that none spring from the wealthy class,
nearly every one from the very poorest
class and that only one brought any money
to San Francisco. Only one is the
graduate of learned university only
seven were educated to any profession,
and all of these lawyers. So far as can be
learned there is not q preacher or
doctor or graduate of West Point in the
lot. Twenty of tho list were, in their
youth, of the uneducated, barefoot class,
whose early struggles were uuaided by
relatives or friends. FOrty-nine of the
millionaires are American by birth, eigh-
teen are Irish, eight are Jews, five are
German, four are English and one
French. So far as is known, only three
were born south of Mason and Dixon's
line, and of these neither was from a slave
owning family. Only seven have ever held
political position, there being one governor,
three United States senator's, q member of
Congress and two members of assem-.
bly, in tho list. Outside of the
Roman Catholic church and the syna
gogue, but one is member of church or
professor of religion. To four of these
men there is accredited $40, 00O, 600 each.
Five will range from $50, ,00O, COO to $780,
0OO, 900; two to 100000 and five to
s., 600, 600 each. thus giving to sixteen
persons over $500, ,OO0. 900. and to the re
mainder, say, $3.50, ,OOO, 900.

What He Didn't Echo.

The Irish are very happy in their con-
versational tact and the art of repartee.
When an Irishman makes blunder he
generally makes a good joke, and recon-
penses the error by the sly humor it con-
veys. Their satire, however, il superior to
their mirth. French may be tho language
of love, was once we'll observed, English
FOR business, but Irish is the language of
expression. There is no other language,
German not excepted, that expresses so
much meaning in few words. The Irish
endeavor to translate this capacity into
English and to supply with dramatic
effect the deficiency of expression.
An auecdote of Galway gentle
man will serve as an illustration.
He entered coffee house in London and
called for tea tho brogue attracted the
attention of q scented civilian in an on.
posite box, who, relying upon his superior
accent, resolved to have jest at the ex
pense of the stranger. So he called for
tea too !; the Irishman called for muffins,
SO did the civilian toast, milk, sugar,
&C., were severally called for by the Irish
man and as severally echoed by the fop,
who enjoyed in his corner the supposed
embarrassment to which he was subject
ing the Galway man. At last, with the
greatest composure, and, if possible, in .
richer brOguc, the Irishman desired the
waiter to bring up pistols for two." The
TESTERS echo was silent.

No Moro Election Vacations.

1t has been the custom in the treasury,
as in the other departments of the govern
ment, to permit every clerk, in addition
to his thirty days annual vacation, :s
leave.of absence Of fifteen days to 60 home
and take part in the campaign and
election. This system operated to give
every man who lived in October states
double election leaves, or about sixty days
out of every presidential year. Secretary
Folger has now ordered that the leave
of absence, with pay, of employees
of the department shall be limited
to thirty days in each year, except
in case of sickness Hereafter every
employe who wants to leave his
desk to carry elections will have
to 60 at his own expense, without pay, or
have the time thus taken deducted from
tho time due him on his regular leave. No
action has been taken in tho matter by the
heads of the other departments yet, but it
is thought that they will concur in the
construction made by Secretary Folger of
the law, which is as follows:
I" All absence from the departments on
the part of clerks in excess of such leave
of absence as may be granted, which shall
not exceed thirty days in any one year,
except in case of Sickness, shall be without
pay"

Saturday evening between Q and 10
O'Clock, James Burns, Frank Wilmer and
John Hook, entered the saloon of Eugene
Bauer, East King street, and without
stopping at the bar passed out into the
yarc where q number of gentlemen were
sitting at tables drinking beer. At
one of these tables were seated
Reuben Killinger, Lewis Lyons and
Henry Sener. Burns approached the
table and, without further ceremony said
he was going to upset it. Sener .iokiDgly
told him togo ahead and upset it." With
cut doing 80 Burns walked around the
table, and confronted Killinger, and after a
few commonplace remarks, applied an Op
probrious epithet to him and struck him.
Killinger jumped up. threw Burns down,
but did not attempt to punish him. Burns
regained his feet and returned to the as.
sault, whereupon Killinger again pushed
him away, and thrust him into q corner of
the yard just in rear of tho bar-room.
While this struggle was going on, Hook
assaulted Killinger from behind, and
Lyons rushed in to pull! Hook away.
Hook struck Lyons with beer glass or q

obtaining bail in the sum of $500, to
answer the charges against them. Wilmer
did not get bail until Sunday, when his

A Question Of Punctuation.

Mr.. Story, the sculptor, who began
active life as lawyer, tells good story
which illustrates the fact that the empha.
sis which punctuates has much to do with
determining the sentence as the meaning
of the words. Once when he was called
upon to defend woman accused of muir
dering her husband, he adduced as one of
the proofs of innocence the fact of her
having attended him on his death bed, and
said to him when he was dying. "Good
bye George" The counsel for the plain
tiff declared this ought rather be taken as
q proof of her guilt, and that tho words
she had used were ''Good by George"

What Is Civil Service Reform !

The Philadelphia Erening Telegraph,
a staunch Republican newspaper, makes
this frank confession for some of its es.
teemed party contemporaries
Ono of the most amusing features of
contemporary politics is the alacrity with
which nearly all of our Stalwart ccntem-
pOraries jump to the conclusion that the
Democratic war cry of "Turn tho rascals
out" refers, as matter of course, to
themselves.
In like manner tue resolution of the
Democratic state convention on civil
service reform gives .offense to the same
class of party organs. They can see
nothing in it except the ejectment and
exclusion from office of their political
friends. The platform declares for
that genuine and deep reaching civil
service reform which consists in the
election to Office of honest, intelligent,
capable and courageous public servants,
who will faithfully administer their
trust and who will he held to strict ac-
countability for such discharge of it,
and who will redeem and purge the de
plrtments of the general government
from the corruption and fraud with
which they have been permeated under
Republican rule, and which the party
has shown itself unable and unwilling to
cure" As an abstract principle and
sound civil service idea it would reason.
ably seem that this declaration must
meet the wants and receive the endorse
ment of everybody who desires honest
official administration. Nevertheless, it
is isuniversally received by the Republicans
as a declaration that they must 60, a
politer way Of saying turn the rascaIs
out" Well, if it fits, we cannot help
their putting it on.
The peurile and inconsequential
objection is made that this resc-
luton does not apply to offices to
which the incumbents are appointed. +"
It is true that the Democratic plat
form avows no sympathy with that new
tangled system which processes to deter
mine the qualifications of letter carriers

"A popular Candidate. .

H1IssuClPIli1 DcCOIu, 1HU.
Tho nomination of ex.Congressman
Powell for state treasurer is a source of
great satisfaction among his friends in the
Northern tier counties. He is a popular
man in mis- section, and when the day for
voting comes it will be found that his pop.
ularity is byno means coinoident with party
lines. 1t is usually bad political strategy
to select candidates or to do campaigning
on ground where the enemy has an undis-
puted possession, but Mr.. Powell has dem.
onstrated that men may rise superior to
their surroundings, and it may be possible
that the people of the Connecticut reserve
are prepared to swing back again polit:.

THE surplus annually collected for the
federal treasury from the people of the
country is just about as much as the
internal revenue tax. The latter is
a complicated system, inquisitorial and
oppressive in its operation and sustain
ing needless army of officeholders.
Whisky and tobacco are proper subjects
for taxation, but let it be levied and
collected by and for the states and the
communities which pay the taxes and
suffer from the use of them. The in.
ternal revenue must 60. 1t was a wal
measure. The emergency which de.
manded it has passed. The tax system

Republicans want to retain it, because il

corruption fund for the party. Never.
