ALASKA NEWS.

On Tuesday. about 10 O'Clock, the
steamship Idaho arrived from Alaska.
She had an agreeable passage both 90.
ing up and returning. She brought
down h few passengers and about Sl5O,-
600 treasure per Wells, Fargo 4 CO..
express.
Everything was quiet among the In
dams.
An unfortunate murder occurred at
6itks, on the 7th inst. when g. Martin,
q seaman on board the United States
steamship Adams, was shot by q man
named p. Keith. There are two YER
si0ns Of the AFFAIR, but both agree that
Keith was . saloon keeper, and had
been drinking heavily and had no mo-
tive In committing she crime, for which
he expressed great oOntritiOn. One
story 10 that Martin entered Keith's
room At an early hour in the morning,
and Keith thinking he was q robber
fred at him. The other account eays
Martin Vas returning from his lodging
on shore 70 his ship, and al he was pass
ing Keith's place the prisoner fred at
him. However this may be, the unfOr-
tunate man died a short time after.
The deceased was we'll known in the
United States navy q having accom-
panied DR.. Kane In his arctic expedition
and money vas raised to embaim him,
and both tho prisoner and his victim
were brought down On the steamer Ida
no. the former for trial at Portland and
the latter for burial at Mare Island.
The prisoner Is middle aged man and
native Of New Jersey. He was brought
down in charge Of Lieut.. Stone Of the
United States ship Adams.
On the 18th the Custom House at Sit
IA caught dre. The fire commenced in
q wood shed in the rear of the premises.
Il was wooden building and the great
er portion Of the interior vas DESTROYED,
including also the Postofilce, which was
under the Same roof, together with the 1
Office Of DR.. Wyman, naval surgeon,
with all effects. The Custom House REQ
0sds we're saved, but the matter in the
Postofaee was lost.
At Harrisburg everything was very
quiet, and there were only about 40
men left in tho town.. At the placer
mines in the vicinity there was not
much doing. The surrounding nouu-
taina, however, contain numerous quartz
strinRers, all Of which yield moro or less
gold. and In the winter the miners turn
their attention to quartz mining. On
the Treadvell claim, Douglass Island,
they Were running third tunnel through
the ledge. The quartz lodges In the b.
sin look remarkably we'll, bat the great
want felt in this mining region 10 that
Of capital.
At Killisnoo the herring fishery and
the manufacture Of oil from the hsh 10
b ing conducted very successfully, and
1900 gallons, the produot Of the last
month, we're brought down in the Idaho.
The people are also experimenting with
goldfish BY drying them with artificial
heat.
The people Of Alaska are very anxious
TO be erected into . Territory, but ire

JOAQUIN MILLER.

The poet Of the Sierras is reputed to be
living the life ola recluse in those delicious
haunts where the muse Of poetry in the uni
form of the CLASSIC Dryad disports amid clover
and keeps the earth in bloom. 1t is long
since Joaquin has made any mark on the bull
letin of fame, or had anything in his manifest,
or given any sign even of recognition to his
followers. We are now sensible Of a great
scarcity of American poets. That mutual adj
miration society has become attenuated and
feeble, and fallen on its way. 1t is
draped in mourning and all is shadow and
dismay. We believe Holmes survives-the
last leaf. No-Whittier yet lives, but where
is the spell that wreathed in memories all the
living when the shadow came and sat upon
the walls The house of the American poet
is draped in sable, for poetry herself is dead.
II is not that Bayard Taylor has
succumbed to the Unsuitable anchor n aforeigD
land. that Holland has fallen stirless, that
Lanier has sung his last song. Not that our
Brvant has crept under the June roses, nor
that Longfellow, filling the earth with pecan,
also has departed, nor that Emerson has
dropped among his own lilies. But it is Tay'
lor. and Bryant, and Longfellow, and Elmer
son, and Holland, and Lanier-all.
And now we turn to Joaquin, asto klng'
to reign upon the throne vacated by these
dead monarchs. Joaquin is man OF genius;
his metal has the ring of gold He has moi
circulated among the noble band OF brothers
The evening light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1881-1883, 1883-03-23

that paid court only to each other. Joaquin
has the eccentricity Of genius, and is not oil
the worldly school of poets founded by Fitz
Greene Halleck, who retired to private life 50
years ago upon poem of so lines, closing his
classic era with the chant
'I'm busy in the cotton trade
And sugar line"
To be sure eccentricity is an impracticable
element to bring into orderly relations, but
Joaquin must be satisfied with the vindication
that will await him in the future and-be true
to himself. An inspirational mind should
move only when moved, and not by effort seek
ambitious aims. He will work at his destiny,
and by and bye when few more years shall
have mellowed the harsher ridges OF feeling
into tenderness, and rpened as well as SUBJ
dued the luxuance of his eager fancy, he will
take his place beside Robert Browning and
the true poets.
Joaquin will emerge-wiser. True genius
never fails in sef-appreciation. Ii errs in ex-
pecting, prematurely, appreciation from the
busy. sordid and selfish world, ever forgetful
that men, women and children get hungry
three times day, and have worlds of trouble
in answering such demands as take prece-
dence of poetry. By and bye he will turn
out wiser and graver man.

CALIFORNIA; PRISON SYSTEM.

The California State prison system is not
exempt from those pestilent thieves that dis
grace other States and make farce of public
Justice everywhere. The San Francisco
News Letter is handling the rascals with I'M
gloved hands, and it is hoped will be success
full in bringing the authorities to take them in
hand Speaking of the States Attorney it
says:
He will find most excellent and necessary
work to do in bringing the present criminal
managers of our criminals to condign punish
ment. They are known, detected and proven
thieves, and ought to herd with the felons
they assume to control. That may seem a
strong statement to people who are not watch
ing what is going on. But if it were not true
the statement dare not be made. The fact is
so easily demonstrated that we do no injus-
tice and run no risk of libel suit in naming
the thieves Warden Ames is thief. Com
missary Berry is another, Clerk Ellis is a
third, and majority of the directors are in a
like category, and if the same justice were
measured to them that has been dealt to the
convicts under their supervision they would
speedily be behind, instead of in front of, the
prison bars. There is no question about that
fact at all. The whole testimony upon which
criminality rests may never be made public,
but enough has been brought to light to fully
justify the sweeping allegations we have made.
The whole system of prison management,
as we have repeatedly said before, is at fault
1t is not alone these thieves that are answer
able for such abuses, but the legislation that
makes them possible and gives the thieving
prison contractor his opportunity, is so. AS
long as prisoners are placed under the control
of virtual slave drivers, as they are by the
prevailing system, these outrages will con-
tinue. 1t is for the people to say, here, in
California, and everywhere, how long so stalk
ing wrong shall continue without redress,
how long men shall be delivered like cattle to
be worked and driven and driven and worked
by wretches no better nor more deserving than
themselves, and who, if justice could prevail,
would be in their places or working by their
Sides

KARL MARX, OF GERMANY, DEAD.

The leading Communist and agitator of
Germany is dead. Karl Marx died on the
18th inst, at Argenteui, aged IS years. He
was an intense enthusiast, welded to all the
populer dogmas that have found expression in
revolutionary politics during the last 80 years.
He founded the most powerful of all popular
agencies IN the overthrow of European mon
arches, ready, active and unremitting, in
IS4S. This was the International Working
mans association, comprising organizations
and active support in France, Belgium and
Spain. 1t affiliated with all other revolutionary
bodies and maintained a powerful influence
throughout Europe by its interfusion with the
French Commune.
Marx was an active and untiring worker in
the field he had chosen, of comprehensive
and clear insight into political economy and
with an mistaken fidelity and unfaltering en-
ergies to the ends he sought. With liberal
education, he had much ability as a
writer, and in 1912 published at Cologne,
in France, the Rheinische Zeitung, which led
to the profound agitation of 1913, when every
where throughout Europe thrones were shaken
to their base and the most startling elements
rapidly combined to bring about universal
Republican era only postponed to a wider
fraternity and frmer safeguards in the com.
mon cause.
1t was a shrewd and daring conception thai
Of combining the working men of all coun-
tries in common league so that the elements
were absolutely absent out of which to frame
any other power that could withstand the
tempestuous force with which it would swooE
down upon imperialist or monarchy when the
hour for action came. But its opportunitie:
seemed to have eliminated in I84S. Wher
the reaction OF I849 came his paper was sup
pressed and he soon after, in London, com
meDced the publication of Monthly review
which survived till 1851, and then went under
Marx published some works in German
language which attained more or less celeb
rity, but none we believe were ever trans
lated into English. He was undeniably The
leading Socialist Of Germany and of unchal
lenged repute as a political economist Of high
rank and rare attalnments.

DESPITE anti-polygamy laws and frequent
fulminations from executive authorities the re-
naming "twin relic of barbarism" is very
lively relic, the Mormon church having in
Utah about I2o, 900 members, in the Western
States about $4,000 and in the Sandwich
Islands about 10000. The membership is
constantly increasing and Mormon mission
aries may now be found in nearly every
country. Some of them, it is reported, intend
to visit Texas. But here, as in all other newly
settled districts, the male population is in ex-
cess of the female, and if polyandry and
polygamy were advocated with equal fervor,
more persons would, in all probability, prac-
tice polyandry than polygamy; and so the
principal feature of Mormonism would be less
attractive here than elsewhere-in the New
England States, for instance, from which
most of the female additions to the Mormon
ranks come, and where the women largely
outnumber the men.
