REV II. II. PRICE.

The Rev. b. r. Price is, In point OF
years Of service, the Oldest effective
preacher In the Wilmington Confer
ence, having been admitted on trial in
1886 Ho is one of the old time Metho.
dists and no doubt looks with disfavor
on many OF the Innovations which
have gradually crept into the church
since the days when a Methodist, the
came as Quaker, could be told by his
garb. Mr.. Price is an earnest, elo
quent preacher, and on last Thursday
afternoon delivered his semi centennial
sermon. Some years ago, when the
Wilmington Conference was part Of
the Philadelphia Conference, he filled
several i'm portant charges, among them
being Central M. Il church in that
city. For the PAST two years he has
been stationed at Madeley Chapel, in
South Wilmington, an appointment
which it is understood was sought by
him to allow an opportunity for needed
| rest.

REV. A. ID. DAVIS.

The Rev. A. ID. Davis can justly. be
termed one OF the war horses of the con.
ference. He entered the ministry in
1860, and during his twenty.six years
OF service has been in instrumeptal in the
conversion of over 2, 200 souls. He Is
one OF the few men who Is "instant in
season or out of season." as WAS exsm'
pliiled when he was pastor OF Epworth
Chapel, in this city. When MIR. Davis
was appointed to Grace Church for the
purpose OF taking charge of Epworth
and Madeley Chapels, he found them
both in a struggling, dependent condi
tion. He conceived the idea of starting
tent service at Epworth, and in q
short time raised money enough to rent
large tent from parties in Baltimore
The tent was erected, and the meeting,
proved q success from the first, and or,
they closed numbers we're converted
and enough money raised to purchas,

The Forfeiture Question.

An exchange puts the question in
a forciblc light when it says:
Just after Mr.. Willard was deposed
as president OF the Northern Pacific
Co, and before directorate sup
posed to favor Tacoma was elected,
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
adopted preamble and series OF
resolutions, in part as follows:
WHEREAS, We believe that the great
object in the creation OF said com
pany cannot be accomplished with
out the construction of the said Gas
| eade division, and the welfare Of the
people of the territory of Washington
requires the Immediate construction
of snid division, and we believe that
should said land grant be not for
felted, said Cascade division will se
completed at an early day, therefore
be it
ResotJed, By the Chamber OF Com
merce, of the city of Seattle, that We
deem 1t for the best interest of the
people of the territory of Washington
rs well as of the whole nation, thai
said rallroad company should have
and retain its land grant in accord.
ance with the spirit and intent OF
OF the law, to enable 1T to finish and
complete its road to Puget Sound.
ReSOtUed, further, That We are
opposed to and must respectfully
protest against any action of congress
tending to the forfeiture of said land
grants.
This course of the board was sup
piemented by the action of the city
council, the board of county commits
sioners and the citizens generally,
asking unequivocally an extension of
time the grant for the completion
OF the Cascade division. Petitions
were circulated AL over the Sound,
aad were generally signed by ali
classes OF people in that behalf, and
1t was only when the rival interests
OF Seattle and Tacoma clashed, that
the city OF Seattle and King county,
conceived the idea of turning a
double back summersault and blow
ing cold with the same thruats that
had SO lately vomitel forth the burn
1n% lava of enthusiastic approval" J."
This was the whole cause and secret
of the anti-forfeiture movement in
1884.
Farther on, the Olympia STANDARD,
the old democratic stand by of Wash
lngton territory, says:
."frominent republicans OF Seattle,
after an inefectIul attempt to foist
their pet theory on ,heir own party,
succeeded in fastening it to the dem
ocrauc platform 1t had no right TO
place there, and never would have
been accepted had it not been for the
price supu!ated-repub!ican votes

A Governors Views.

Governor Swineford, of Alaska,
writing about his new field of labor,
says: Had l realized the responsi-
biIity that would be devolved upon
me by the pebuliar form of civil gov
srnment which congress has provid-
cd for this territory-a form of GOV
ernment which creates a sort of
executive absolution distasteIul to
me, as 1t must necessarily be uusat-
isfactory to the people who have no
" anywhere in the making ef the
law the executive is expected to en-
torce-a government mutilated in
form and substance, with DO remedial
force springing direct for the people
for the correction of glaring defects
IN laws wholly inapplicable to their
wants-I would have hesitated long
before accepting the position [ now
occupy. The organic act makes the
laws or Oregon in force on the I7th
day of May, 1884, the laws of Alaska,
$50 far as the same may be applia-
ble;" but SO far no authority or tri
bunal has been found willing to de-
eide for us which of such laws are,
indeed, applicable, and at the very
outset a grave doubt 0as been raised
IN our only court as to how juries can
be drawn and as TO the legality of
their findings when they have bee
impaneled. The laws of Or, gon
were enacted for the government ol q
state having organized counties and
townships, and are therefore gener-
ally inapplicable to the government
= OF a territory having none OF these
subdivisions and with no Legislative
or other authority competent to
create them. We are without coun-
ties or townships, having no power
to create municipal governments for
our villages, and cannot even estab-
ish common school district. We
have no revenue, nor the means Of
levying any tax for the purpose of
improving streets and sidewalks-in
fact more lame and impotent at
tempt to set up government for the
people of territory cannot be found
recorded in the annals OF congress.
What the motive could have been.
what the underlying principle, ex
eept it may have been a desire to put
off to as late q day as possible the
era of Alaska's development and pro-
gress, is something puzzling even to
the imagination. One thing is Ger
tain, and that is the development of
the great and almost unlimited Ma
tural resources of this immense terri
tory will be hindered and DELAYED
just in proportion as congress delays
extending to it "a moro perfect form
of (territoriaD government"-a form
Of government which will not only
give to its people the usual territorial
representation in the law making
branch of the general government.
but the right to legislate for them
selves on all questions pertaining To
their local interests. If the dailips
would take up and discuss the ques-
ton of Alaska's rights and wrongs il
this regard they could secure for hey
people political rights never before
withheld from any territory of tine
United States, and the Withholding OF
OF which in their case is violation
of treaty obligations, but Of the fun
danental principles on which the
government Is founded"
