WHAT ALASKA WANTS.

The People of the Territory to Make n
Demand for the Benefit of tho Gem
eral Land Laws.
Mr.. j. B. swinton, OF sltlka, Alaska, has
been in the city for several days, and will
90 to New York tomorrow for the pur-
pose Of interesting capitalists In somo min.
ing lands In the northwest territory. To q
reporter Of the REPUBLICAN he said, with
an expression Of disgust at Is uphill
work trying to interest anybody In Alaska's
resources. They can never be developed
under existing laws, We are treated
shamefully by the federal government, In
fact, since the territory was purchased
from Russia, the government has main
tanned in II system Of repression, which
keeps out immigration and renders prog
ress impossible. Why, We have not even
the benefit Of the general land laws. None
Of the inhabitants own q foot OF ground
except few Russians, whose estates were
guaranteed to them by the terms Of the
purchase, and few owners of mining
lands and fisheries. Nor can one rent
lands, so the whole territory is q commit
nifty Of squatters bent ON amassing wealth
and getting away. II man wants to build
house the government will sell
him no timber, and IL he steals
IL he must suffer the penalty.
We have no territorial legislature, no
elective officers, no public school education
to speak Of, and an Indifferent system Of
private schools. Were we governed In
the same manner as all the other territories
of the United States, there is no doubt In
my mind that Alaska would step into
statehood In ten years. Few people know
Of its wonderful natural resources and the
geniality OF its climate. The general i'm
preston is that 1t 1t a cold, barren tract Of
land whose only value consists In It's seal
land. True, the seal lands are valuable
email portion OF Alaska's wealth. Don't
you know that on Douglass island there Is
the largest and most productive gold mine
In the world and the greatest milling estab-
lishment that is In operations The terri
tory abounds In gold and other minerals,
and needs only the development consequent
upon immigration to make 1t the great
mineral field Of the world. Alaska's fish
cries are unequaled anywhere. Any
moneyed man would gladly give seven mil
lions, the purchase price Of the whole terri
tory, for the cod fisheries alone.
The soil In southern Alaska
Ia not SO barren as people imagine. 1t is as
good In every particular as that Of the New
England states, and has as large tillable
area. OF course, It is not cultivated, since
no individuals own the ground. Moreover,
the people find fishing and mining much
more profitable. AS to the climate, why 1t
is just about the same as Washington in
winter, and a little cooler In summer-that
is to say, in the southern portion where the
whites reside. My thermometer last winter
had nearly the same bearings as the one
In the signal Office bore. The mild cli-
mate is due, you know, to the Japanese
current. Nature has lowered the territory
magnifleently, and only good government
is necessary to develop It. This we are
going to demand unitedly at the next ses-
sion Of Congress-"

Grand Army Boys Picnic.

The first grand picnic given by the Drum
and Fife Corps Of Kit Carson Post, No. Q,
&. A. r., came Off yesterday afternoon and
last night. II was well attended by the
young people Of Capitol Hill, all Of whom
seemed to enjoy themselves greatly. The
entertainment was opened by several selec.
tions of music rendered by the Drum and
Fife Corps. The ways Of enjoyment were
many and varied, such as prize shooting,
ball throwing, and bowling, and the ten-pin
alleys. The younger portion OF the visi-
was continued until q late hour OF the
night. The picnic was held at Guethler's
Park, corner Of Fourteenth and E streets
southeast, which was brilliantly illuminated
for the occasion. The very best order was
preserved, and every arrangement was
made that was possible for the comfort and
convenience Of those present.

THE feeling in the south against the convict
leasing system is growing stronger each year.
There is nothing reformatOry in the system,
and those of the convlcts who succeed in serv-
ing out theirterms Of sentence are not prepared
to earn an honest living, and are not given a
chance to earn 1t even If they were disposed to
do o.-SdrdRRdh NeiUs
"Those Of the convicts who succeed in
serving out their sentence''-these are sug-
gestive words. Those who do not thus
"succeed" are probably majority of the
whole number committed. We are glad of
the assurance that southern sentiment is
becoming opposed to this internal system,
and hope that 1t will continue to grow in
that direction.

WILL GEN. LEE withdraw

His Brother, Custis Lees, Visit to Ra-
venswood, and the Rumors Arising
Therefrom,
Gen. @. w. Parke Custis Lee is on
visit to Ravenswood, the home OF Gen.
Runey Lee, candidate for the congress
slonal nomination In the eighth Virginia
district. Rumor across the river has II that
the visit is something more than a social
one--in fact that II has a significance OF
grave importance to the other aspirants for
the nomination. IL is freely asserted that
Gen. Custis has come up to Fairfax to per-
suade Gen. Runey to withdraw from the
congressional contest since further humilia-
tion and ultimate defeat Is inevitable. Gus
tie, from the first, advised his brother
against entering into a heated contest.
Being a very wise man he foresaw that the
name OF Lee could no longer induce the peo-
pie to bow down in worship, and ne feared
to put It's potency TO test. Runey, how
ever, preferrlng the advice Of few admir-
ing friends, entered the race relying on
their assurance that he would be nominated
by aCclamation. When IL became evident
that there was to be long struggle II is
said that Custls wrote again, advising
withdrawal, but Runy grew obstinate on
account Of the opposition, and determined
10 fight II out to the last. Now, as reports
have IL, Gen. Gusts has come in person to
look after matters and induce his brother to
retire before the convention rejects him. 1t
Is more than probable that his mission will
be successful, for less observing man than
Gen. Runy Lee can see that the sentiment
against him in the district is intensifying
daily. His supporters see the hopelessness
Of their cause, and, although they try TO
keep bold front, it 10 evident that they are
disheartened. Reports at Lee headquarters
confirm the rumors that the Culpeper and
part Of the Fauquier delegation will desert
the general In case he has not the required
majority on the frat ballot. Other Lee
delegations will probably follow suit. They
are heartily tired Of their hopeless fight,
and do not propose TO suffer another three
days Of sweitering heat In the opera house
when no good can be effected thereby
With those things before his mind, It looks
as II q sensible man like Gen. Lee would no
longer turn deaf ear to his brothers. ad-

Mon law furnishes an example of its doubt
iulncss in tho hanging Of a policeman In
Macon Ga, last night. The man was charged
with an assault on young girl, and was
locked UP. The mob broke through the
guards, dragged the man out, and brutally
hanged him. When II was all over they found
out that the girl was Of very doubtful charac-
ter, and her testimony not entitled to great
credence,-- Chicago Journal.
That comes near being fair average
sample Of the damnable doings Of lynchers
They often assume the guilt Of the man
whom they catch and seldom trouble
themselves over the quality Of evil
dence or the trivial question of identity.
In case a negro is charged with outrage
almost any negro who happens to fall into
the hands OF the mob is likely to be strung
up, and the chances are ten TO one that,
however innocent he may be, confession
will be wrung from him.

IT is by no means an unwiso suggestion
which comes from Edmund Jussen, United
States consul general at Vienna, to the effect
that the United States should reqaiIe every
immigrant landing on our shores to bring a
certificate of character from the United States
consul of the district from which he emigrates
Minneapolis 7rtbule,
Tho adoption of this plan could do no
harm, but 1t might not result In much good.
Consuls could not, as rule, have personal
knowledge of the persons proposing to
emigrate. They would have to depend on
testimony OF others. II Endorsements Of
character are as easily obtained in foreign
lands as in our own the worst class of Grim,
inals could get plenty of respectable vouch'
ers for their integrity.

THE tragedy at oxford, Miss, is much to be
regretted, not only on account of the sad affair
itself, but also on account Of the effect It will
have on the University of Mississippi. When
the law professor shoots the secretary of the
board of trustees things haye come to very
bad pass.-AObae Register.
Things came to very bad pass in that
state long ago. 1t is a disgrace to the
Union family but, all the same, it is the
state which invented and first employed the
means by which the Democratic party
seized the power which It now wields in
this republic. But for the diabolism which
results in such crimes as "the tragedy at
Oxford" there would be no solid south,
and, consequently, no Democratic admins
tration.
