LONDON, Feb. ls.-The Golden

the pamphlet by Giffen, progress OF
the Working Classes" which Glad
stone pronOunces the best answer to
the doctrines proclaimed by. Henry
George.
Truth says: Lord Graymoyle writes
that Miss Fortescue's one reason for
breaking of. the engagement was
that the Duke of Richmond said she
c)uld not be received at court.
Truth taunts the Duke of Rich

The Proteus Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3.-The re-
port of the Proteus court Of inquiry
was transmitted to the Senate to-day.
The court finds Darlington made an
error of judgment in not waiting
longer at Pandora Harbor, but the
error was committed in exercising q
difficult and unusual discretion for
which he should not be held ac-
countable. 1t is also due Darlington
to say that in the general conduct of
the expedition prior to the loss of the
ship, he displayed zeal, energy, and
efficiency in successfully conducting
the command through a long, peril.
Gus. and laborious retreat in boats
to a place of safety.
While awarding credit to General
Hazen for the best intentions con-
cerning the relief of the Greely party
the court is of the opinion that in
many particulars and in some of
gravest moment he failed in the ade-
Guate comprehension of the necessi-
ties of the case and of the measures
and means essential to meet them.
The court specifies numerous grave
errors and omissions in his acting,
among them the following:
First-In informing Darlington that
The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-02-16

Greely's supplies would be exhaust
ed in the fall of 1888; when in fact he
was prOvisioned for more than
three years from the summer of
1881. The effect of this was 10 urge
Darlington to undue haste to reach
Lady Franklin Bay.
Second-His persistent rejection Of
suggestions to take on the northward
voyage relief ship as depot for
supplies at Little Island
Third-In falling to perceive the
necessity for second vessel until
late in the season.
Fourth-In a lax and negligent
method of keeping a record of the
public business and conducting cor
resp0ndence in the Signal Office, as
illustrated in the action of the Chief
Signal Officer in regard. to the So
called supplementary instructions or
orders to Darlington, which the court
says in fact were no orders at all, al
though published to. the country as
such and made the basis for q charge
that he had been guilty of disobedi-
ence of orders. .
The court is of the opinion that this
was neither. an order
nor did it properly carry any force
even as suggestive. to- Darlington.
The court comments severely on this
manner of conducting
official business.

ALASKA GOVERNMENT.

The bill providing a civil govern
ment for the Territory of Alaska,
which has been passed by the Senate,
provides for the appointment of a
Governor, who shall reside in the
Territory, ana establishes District
Court with the criminal Jurisdiction
Of United States District Courts, and
the civil jurisdiction Of such courts
exercising the jurisdiction of Circuit
Courts. The general laws of the
State of Oregon. now in force, are
declared to be the laws of the district
The care Of the Alaska white ele-
phant has been long neglected, and
the matter has subjected our Govern
ment to considerable adverse criti-
cism in other countries. A wise ad-
ministration of affaies in: the great
northern Territory will not only
rebound to the credit Of: the Ameri.
can people, but in all probability will
open up remuneratlve commerce.

Another Pacific Road.

CHICAGO, Feb. ia statement is
published here that indications now
are that the Atlantic & Pacific will
after all be extended to San Fran
cisco independent Of the Southern
and Central Pacific. 1t is declared
that two years ago when the road fell
under the control of Gould and
Huntington the object was to pre-
vent the Atchison, Topeka Il Santa
Fe from gaining an independent out
let to the Pacific Coast. 1t now ap-
pears that Gould and Huntington
have lost their holdings in the St.
Louis Il San francisco road and that
the Santa Fe is again in complete
control. It is claimed that the Santa
Fe people propose to at once extend
the Atlantic & Pacific from the
Needles on the Colorado river to the
Coast, and make San Diego the prin.
cipal terminus.

Obituary.

Again death has invaded the field
of life and TOOK away bright and
splendid flower. Florence Amelia
Paul, daughter Of John aud Margaret
Paul, was born at Pipestone. Jefferson
county. October llth, 1873, and died
February 5th, 1884, making her 10
years, months aud II days old. In
the very morning OF life, when all
around was vine and palm and
flower, she passed to silence and
ceased to liys. Yet, after all. it may
be best; we cannot tathonl the de-
signs Of the all-wise Providence
Her face, when alive, was illumin.
ated with a radiant smile; her actions
were graceful, her address pleasant,
her manners polished. and above all
she was loved and loving this is
enough. Love deserves the grandest
eulogy on earth. Intellectual cui-
ture polished with diamond brill
liancy pales beyond the lusture Of u
living soul. Little Af!llie (for such
she used to be called) will live in
hearts for many long year; sacred
memories like angelic messengers
will come back to her parents and
friends. Sweet Spirit, would that
we could have stood upon heavens
balconies and wei :omed your arrival
in the land of light and love and
song. May her parents, brothers
and sisters meet her there, and who
can depict the rapture of the meeting.

seasons like matchmaking himself,
IN addition, a hard taskmaster to his

wearing next to nothing, he will, be-
tore he dies, be able to build barn
at cost of $500, and frame house
at twice that ameunt."

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION.

|
never learn why people arrive at
different conclusions upon any given
subject with the same lights before
them. Editors differ IN opinion as
as well as other people and frequent
y their differences are as wide and
far apart as the antipodes. It is some.
times task for supreme wisdom to
make out the logic of the discussion,
after thousand OF more journalists
have got under good headway carv-
ing a public question to the heart.
But the result of such contro-
versy is = wholesome presentation of
the matter in all its bearings, so that
the world of readers may judge for
themselves. A case in point is the
debates in and out of Congress over
the Fitz John Porter matter.
1t is supposing too much to suppose
this case, whichever way it may
terminate, will be brought to an is
sue satisfactory to all. People differ
concerning it, and journalists jot
down their opinions without regard
to what others may say. One says:
'The party that reinstates Fitz-Jo ohm
Porter in the army of the United
States will never elect a President"
This, if true, will be rough on the
Democratic party, but the party is
willing to take the chances and at
the same time do an act of justice to
a much wronged gentleman and
brave soldier.
Commenting upon the above ex-
cerpt another journal observes:
"This is all nonsense, inasmuch as
Porter is not likely to be reinstated
by any party unaided. Although the
present House of Representatives
will enjoy the greatest share Of the
credit following the passage of the
relief bill, that measure cannot he
passed without the cooperation of a
Republican Senate and President,
and both are favorable to the bill"
Here h0n0rs are divided in the
opinion of the writer of the above,
and no political capital can be made
against either party if the bill pass.
Another editor branches Oft with
the assertion that: "John Logan will
scarcely dnd campaign against
Fitz John Porter very satisfactory
for \ Presidential CAM
paign, as he may real1ze e he reflects
upon the division of his party on tha. !;
issue. The Republican Senators aud
Representatives who have spoken i'm
favor of the Porter relief bill reflect |
the sentiments OF a very large por-
tion of the Republican party. If
Logan exhibits the same violent and
unforgiving spirit this year that he
lid last in opposing this bill he will
not be forgotten by the masses OF his
own party if he should receive the
Presidential nomination.
The people of the United States will
never put in the chief office of the
lation any man who openly subor-
linates justice to partisan prejudice"
This is sensible observation aud
will strike the unprejudiced reader
IS fitting and well-timed. Coming
light down to bottom facts the Fitz
[ohn Porter case is in no sense po-
itical matter, although many Re-
'nblicans would make it one. It is
imply question of justice to a man
vho was wrongly sentenced by a
ourt martial under a mlsapprehen-
ion of facts. Yet in this, as in all
ther matters, men and journalists
iffer and hold to Numerically op-
'osite views with a tenacity as as
onishing as it is unaccountable.
