month by selling rations Col. Brady
made clean sweep of LIST Sergeants
and cooks. Ten days rations in full
were drawn from the commissary and
cooked: the soldiers were content,
and in short time a saving of S75
per month accured to the company
previously in debt. [ have referred
to this matter as connected with
Alaska because, as no redress could
be had. except punishment, previous
to Col. Brady assuming command;
and because, at that time the state Of
affairs was brought to the notice of
Senator Trilson, Chairman OF the
Military Committee, and General
Benjamin F. Butler in Congress.
VIM. Sumner Dodge, who was Col
lector OF Customs at Sitka was going
to Washington, and was familiar
with every detail. I handed him two
letters addressed to the Represent
atives referred to, in which the con-
dition of the troops was fairly and
impartially stated. The consequence
was that committee of inquiry"
was asked for to inquire into the re-
ports of destitution prevailing among
the troops at the garrison in Sitka,
Alaska. A shower of dynamite could
not throw much greater CONSERVATION,
among guilty officials, but there was
no other way, and the results aimed
at were fully attained. J.

BooT AND SHoEMAkERs

One day while passing down the
street was stopped by Joseph Con-
well, former quartermaster, who in
yited me in to see the shop, which
contained one occupant. A pair of
boots and and a few pieces Of leather
was all there was in sight, but under
meath the bourds there were dozens Of
black bottles containing Indian whis-
ky which sold at 81 bottle, and IN an
adjoining room were two barrels of
new make, of a green coloc, to be bot
tied as required.
No shoemaker shop from Montana
to Alaska paid so we'll. In a short
time the Lewis started a brewery,
made plenty of money and sold out
at good figure, and then went into
keeping store, in the rear of which
were to be found barrels of whisky
that never paid duty or license. Sold
iers patronized the store tremendous
ly. Old Aaron, whom the boys called
St Patrick, was always behind the
counter. He knew everybody and
was pleasant to all. It was a great
resort, and nearly all found their way
to the back room, took a drink, put
Is cents under the glass and retired.
st. Patrick's Day was every day in
the week, every week in the month,
and every month in the year. He
was coming continually, and SO we'll
did be know his customers that no one
knew of the spirit room except the
privileged ones,' and none other
could enter The custom and revenue
officers were within half block of
Lewis place, and to this day they re-
main ignorant of the fact. The Lewis
are now in San Francisco in the
VIII olesale trade.
There was also "Cultus Sam,' a
Victoria Jew, he came to Alaska with
out cent, worked his way up on the
boat and commenced business on a
box of apples and box Of cigars and
those he got on credit. from Rudolph,
wealthy Jew from Portland, Ore
gon. Sans store was on the side
walk, it had neither roof or wall; the
counter was small table large
enough to show up his wares. Ap-
pies at Is cents each, and cigars the
same. In week Sam had stake
fitted up small store and commsnc-
ed trading with the Indians. He
spoke Chinook like an Indian, and in
consequence monopolized much of
the Indian trade. SANS little store
was in front of the Military Hospital
and separated from the Indian settle
ment by narrow portion of the Bay
Canoes glided rapidly back and for
wards at night and early morn, evad-
ing the guards. All of them bought
Gle" Sans stock was principally in
coal oil cans, a few bars of soap, a few
cotton handkerchiefs and tobacco.
Now, at sale of property that took
place in '69 Cnltus Sam bought in
two large stores at about $4,000. and
in TO had one of those stores packed
with dry goods, boots and shoes,
flour, groceries and canned goods.
It must not be inferred from the
foregoing that any person can make
money in the same way, or have the
same opportunity at another time.
Those men were born '.pedlars,. were
much among the Indians, learned
their language which in itself gave
them advantages and opportunity,

A sensation has been caused at Bis
marck, Oak, by the arrival of John G.
Badeau, who says he has authority to
purchase arms and ammunition for
the Indian followers Of Louis Riel,
who contemplate an uprising in the
spring. He is thought to be a crank.

Mr.. Voorhees, ak.

Regarding the admission Of the ter
ritories, Senator Voorhees, is quoted
as saying: 'I can speak only for my
self think the best arrangement we
can make is to admit Dakota, Mon
tana and Washington together. They
must all come in soon and they might
as well come in now. [ do not see
how we can prevent Dakota's coming
in. She has voting population Of
$4,000 and is certainly entitled to adj
mittanee. / thought at first that [
should oppose the division of Dakota,
but I do not see how I can. The
Territory has an area of five times
that of my own State, and South Da-
kota will be about as large as Ohio and
Indiana. Montana has voting pop
ulation of $4,000, and Washington a
voting population of 10000. There
are not fifteen congressional districts
In the country with population of
Washington, and not one hundred
with that of Montana. Dakota is
Republican, Montana Democrat and
I am confident will remain So Wash
ington is also close and may be won
by either party. If she comes, into
the Union by Democratic votes under
Democratic adminisi ration, our
chances in the new State will be all
the better. It seems to me much
the best plan to take in these three
Territories at once. They are entitl-
ed and politically it will be as fair

IOWA LETTER.
DIR. Rhea ON Uniyersalism.

On Sunday evening, June 6, the Rev.
DR.. J. H. Rhea, pastor of the East Side
Methodist church at Waterloo, preached
sermon on Uniyersalism. Judging
from notice of the sermon given in the
Ioaca State Reporter, L am persuaded
that DIR. Rhea does not know what Uni
versalism is, or if he does know, that he
willfully misrepresents the truth. When
DR.. Rhea enters into a course of argu-
ment to prove "moral responsibility" and
that call transgression is surely pun
ished," and then tries to leave the impress
sion that Universalists teach otherwise,
he is either ignorant or purposely unfair.
AS religionists we are large enough to
accept "moral responsibility" without ar
gument-to a thoughtful person that
truth is self-evident. Also, it is one of
the fundamentals in the Universalist sys-
tenn of faith. AS to the certainty of sin
being punished, no church teaches a
surer and more effective retribution than
ours. We believe and teach that every
one receives in just measure the fruit of
his leeds; in all things where one obeys
the law Of life he is blessed;if he disobeys
that law he is condemned and remains
under condemnation until he wills to
obey. Will Methodist theology bear the
test Of logic on the question of retribu-
ton?
1t is surprising to what lengths of in
tellectual folly mans creed will some
times take him. DR.. Rhea's blasphemy
rivals only his lack of common sense.
"If the punishment of sinners is not for
all eternity then God is a monster to
allow so much suffering in this worldr'

UNITARIANIsM IN LONDON.

occupied two of the city pulpits twice
each on each Sunday, and found excel
lent and most appreciative audiences,
and attended the opening and dedica-
tiOn of Essex Hall, and mingled among
their representative men and women.
|. Ever since can remember, have
heard that the English Unitarians are
more like our own people than they are
like those in America. How it may be
with the rest l do not know, but GER
tainly those l saw were of our own
kind in everything but name. My SER
mons were of the most positive charac-
ter, doctrinal in the extreme, but not
only were their sentiments fully en-
dorsed, but was assured that they
were such as the people were in the
habit of listening to. OF course there
are those in the Unitarian pulpits and
pews of England, like many-I fear,
most-in America, who preach the ne
cations of doubt, and consider the pull
pit the mOuthpiece of anything else
rather than Christian faith. But met
none such. Those l saw were earnest
in the expression Of genuine Chris
tian faith and made prominent the great
sentiment that distinguishes us. In
deed, one unacquainted with the origin
of the word Unitarian, might well sup
pose by the tone of sentiment prevalent
on the question of human destiny, that
faith in the final unity of humanity
originated the name.
A Universalist can but be at home
among the Unitarians of England; and
our people in America may well rejoice
that they are sound and square on the
most vital questions in theology. How
could it be otherwise when Stopford
Brooke is their great preacher, and
when Robert Spears holds so COM
manding position? Mr.. Spears not
only conducts one of the ablest of the
religious journals of England, but he
is one of the ablest and most active
preachers in the worlds metropolis.
During twenty-five years in London
his zeal and energy have been untiring,
and he has been as successful as ener-
getic. No fewer than seven of the ex-
isting chapels-as the English style all
churches but Episcopal been
founded by him, and be is at the pres
ent time filling at least two, either in
person or by proxy, besides conducting
his journal and exercising a continual
oversight of the Charming School, one
of the best educational institutions in
London, and having any number of
other important interests in hand. No
man can be omnipresent, but the gen.
eral impression prevails among the
Unitarians of London that Robert
Spears is ubiquitous. And his large in
huence of tongue and pen is given in

until none can really know the expe-
rienced" professor from the non-pro-
fessor. So, after all the ado about the
conversion, the name and creed, the
rule of Jesus has become the test: ''By
their fruits ye shall know them"
Thorn trees do not bear olive berries.
The standard Jesus gave as the final
and sufficient test, is: by this shall all
men know ye are my disciples, if ye
have love one to another" Had all
prolessed disciples followed this STAN
dard, the dark ages' would never have
been, nor we of this generation been
doomed to read of the prosecutions, re-
ligious wars, fields of blood, prisons and
dungeons, gibbets, auto de fes, inquisi-
tions, thumb screws, and various en-
gines of torture, inflicted by order of
popes, bishops, priests and ambitious
scoundrels, who, in the hame of relig-
ion, disgraced that name, pure and Or
thodox as it pretended to be.
This is an unpleasant train to fall
into, but your letter led me to it. l
was never sectarian in religion, nor
partisan in politics, except as defined
by Washington. After wading in the
muddy waters, and wandering in the
haze of human theories and specula-
tions during my youth, guided by my
reading the Bible-about the only book
1 had to read outside of school books
1 was led to choose the fellowship of a
denomination then the freest, but the
smallest and most unpopular and mis-
represented, because there 1 should not
be restrained in my liberty of thought
and speech, nor be spotted and expelled
so long as I accepted Jesus for my
Teacher and walked worthy of the
Christian name.
The danger OF religion to-day is not
science, philosophy or open inidelity.
1t is the love of money, I the pride of
name and display in showEand numbers
and in Indifference to The real truths
and principles of Christianity as taught
and exemplified by Jesus and his disci-
pies. The remedy is found, not in a
return to the bigotry, superstition, sec
tarianism and selfishness, contention
about names, forms, Theories and pa
tristic authorities, but I'd the simple,
sublime and sufficient principles and
commandments of Jesus, Let ia pro-
fessors and honest thinkers study and
follow them in actual hfa and it can
not be long before the 'tprld Will be

A LETTER TO A PRESBYTERIAN
COUSIN.

Dear Cousin - There is a sort of
blood attachment among relatives
which it is pleasant to cherish and
profitable to cultivate, provided it does
not fade into selfshness and family
pride and pretension. The son of a
wise man is not always wise, nor of a
good man always good, nor of a bad
man necessarily bad. There is some
thing in heredity, but not enough to
decide character by mere descent. There
is little danger that our descendants
will be seriously affected either way by
what our ancestors or We have been or
done, on either side OF the house. More
depends on training in childhood and
youth and personal effort afterwards
The mans the gold for a. that and a.
that"
You say you are among the Oldest
Presbyterians in your church and city.
AS such you must have witnessed
great changes in thought, feeling and
action, among yourselves and in other
sects, in the direction and actual i'm
provement in social and religious feel
ing and intercourse but dangerous in
another-in careless indifference and
indecision as to what constitutes the
sum and substance of actual Christian
ity, and truly religious life, and duty
in daily conduct. The world and the
church have come to see that names,
forms, systems and professions do not
describe nor decide what a person is in
the sight of God, or in his own eyes
when he sees himself in the mirror
Jesus held before the world, that each
might know the truth, do the right, live
the pure, and be saved from all sin.
Many call Jesus Lord and Master, but
do not keep his commandments. A
system put forth and voted into creed
by Nicene, ante OF post-Nicene fathers,
or any councils and conventicles of an
cient or modern heretics, is pretentious-
] ly advocated and blindly submitted to,
