AND OUR SOUND
CITIES.

Governor Swineford sends rs good
news from Alaska. He reports popula
ton Of 50, 900. and asks congress to con
slider favorably the bill, now pending,
for tho organization Of the territory.
Gold mines are being developed, and
four claims have beer sold fox 500, 900;
besides silver discoveries have been made.
The governor thinks there is enough
coal ia the territory 10 supply the whole
United States for centuries he also
deolyss that, while there are no farms
or gardens iu the territory, a. 'as, s.s-s ),
the climate and soil are favorable for
agriculture; and he sees no reason why
Alaska may not ultimately rival Mon
tana or Wyoming as a farming and
cattle country.
When Governor Seward negotiated
the treaty for the purchase Of Alaska, u
great deal OF fun was made Of his state.
ment that tho climate Of that country is
is superior to that Of New England.
Governor Stewards ''isotherlnal line"
afforded Mr.. Greeley no end Of amuse-
ment, and the Tribune ridiculed the
treaty numerically while it was before
the Senate. However-what with
Stewards diplomacy and Andrew john
sons pertiuactiy-thc offer Of Russia
was accepted, the price-$7, 500, 900
paid, aud Alaska secured to the United
States.
A senator. who voted for the pur
chase, declared that he voted "aye"
simply With reference to the question Of
boundary lines wishing 70 avoid further
complications with Russia on that score !;
that he distinctly desired it to be known
that he put no value on Alaska itself.
It turns out--as it has 80 often before
that senators, like common people,
don't always know everything Il is
conceded that, considered only as mere
financial operation. No got Alaska dirt
cheap.

Yost VS.. Mahone-Again.

The VaHey Vi1Yinian for this week
returns TO the subject of the recent
secret circular sent out to his henchmen
by General MALONE, and INDUCES IN
some more plain talk to the little boss.
We quote as follows:
"The proposition of this secret circu-
lar is to repudlate the highest authority
in the party, to nullify its commands,
and enthrone the chairman of the Nir-
ginia Republican Committee above it
and in defiance of it. And for what !?
That he as chairman of the delegation,
as he hopes to be, mighl have the power
to cast the tweuty-four votes of Virginia
solid for John Sherman, regardless Of
the wishes of the Republicans of the
State, and receive the plaudits of the
organized clackers who may be present
TO punctuate the progress of the ballot
ing by applause for their favorite. The
whole purpose in this recommendation
is to stife the will Of the people, magnify
the chairman, and force nomination
that will not represent the predominant
sentiment Of the party"
SHERMAN receives pretty hard hit in
the last sentence above. Yosr will
never have TO recall it nor apologize for
il for no thief of the highest office in
the world will ever be nominated for
that Office.
AS to Mr.. ELAM's Washington address,
Mr. YosT says:
1.-THE address, as il has been called,
does not represent the sentiment OF some
OF those who signed it. 1t was signed
under misSpprehension Of its purpose,
and the impression that it was designed
to promote harmony in the party and
not 10 disintegrate it. We have the first
Republican 10 meet who has read ii that
does not condemn and repudiate it and
consider that it was unfortunate such a
paper should have been read before the
National Committee, both for the gen
tlemen whose names are attached to it
and for the party, for ii will be heard OF
IN future campaigns in Virginia"
As TO another point, Mr.. YosT says;
1.-The third suggested resolution is the
utterance Of pitiable rage and the expo.
sure Of blind egotism that inflated self
into the proportions Of party. II all
such as are referred to are TO be classed
as 'kickers and read out OF fellow
ship with the elect there would not be
enough left in each county to form de-
cent funeral oortege 10 the Republican

'personal and confidential circular to
read anybody out Of the Republican
party. He has no authority 10 en-
force his bulls OF excommunica--
tion or 10 comfort protests against
his despotic WAYS into party dis
LOYALTY. II is ia violation OF
every inspiration Of its creed to rob the
masses of their rights or suppress their
voice. II is foreign to its history, except
in Virginia. TO clothe one man with des-
potic authority to be used to convert the
organization into machine for personal
revenge and to crafty personal ambition
at the expense of the great objects Tor
which the party was organized. And 1t
docs not lie in the power OF the chairman
TO reduce its forces to his following or
prostitute its authority to the accom-
plishment solely of personal ends. Nor
will the manhood of the Republicans Of
Virginia. now that their attention has
been SO forcefully directed TO the pur-
pose of the chairman. in this secret cir
cular. be satisfied to be considered as his
personal property, as clay in the potter S
hands. to be moulded aud used as his
imperious will shall command. y
Thcv can now see and determine for
themselves whether the Republican party
of Virginia is to be a party of principles,
or whether it is TO be the instrument OF
one man to execute his will, regardless
of every other consideration.

Indians Starving.

ST.. PAUL, February 24.-An Edmon-
ton correspondent oil the Pioneer Press
gives the facts in regard to the reports of
the starving condition of the Indians in
the far North. He says the failure of
the crops and the scarcity OF game has
kept the Indians solely dependent on the
Indian Department for food. The Gov
eminent supplies have failed TO come. and
the consequence is most deplorable. All
the stock of fish they had frozen IN the
early part OF the winter was spoiled by
the mild weather in January. The
chiefs OF the White Fish Lake and other
tribes became demonstrative and threat
ened the Government officials with re-
taliation unless food was given them.
The agent at Saddle Lake came down to
Edmonton and refused to return with
food, being afraid for his life. The cor
respondent accuses the Indian Depart
ment of criminal negligence and
says il the Indians are not looked
after the consequence may be disastrous.

While this winter has been a pros
perous season IN this section ia matrl-

for the number II clipping couples.

generally remarked that this fall and
winter beats the record in the clipping
line. and so far as heard from with the
happiest results.
A special fish train is now running
from mere to the Carolina sounds, CON
Meeting here with the New York, PhIia-

Nobody seems to suppose that Mr.
B1ANE would decline the nomination
for President il he were unanimously
nominated by the Chicago Convention.
We have regarded ii as certain that this
would be the only contingency in which
he would consent to be candidate.
Well, what Of it? Just this. The de-
termination Of the Democrats to hold
their National Convention before the Re-
pnblicans hold theirs will afford Mr..
BLAINE an opportunity to know who Is
to be his opponent before he decides
finally whether he will or will not re-
enter the political field. He will have
the advantage not only Of knowing who
is to be his opponent, but OF knowing
whether the Democratic candidate for
Vice President is n strong man, and
what sort Of platform the Democratic
candidates stand upon.

The New York HcF0id reproduces
the contention of the Washington star
that as General SHERmAN's parents had
only been six months in the country
when he was born, and his father was
not naturalized, he was under the law,
alien born and is no more eligible for the
presidency than if he bad been born in
Ireland.
The fact is that the fourteenth amend
ment declares all persons born in this
country to be citizens of the United
States, and the Constitution as it stood
before the fourteenth article of amend
ments was added to it provides that any
natural-born citizen thirty-fve years old
is eligible to the Office of President.
The star has mixed up naturalization
laws with the Constitution.

William and Mary.

Not dollar would we take out of the
Treasury to obsiruct the way to 4 settle
ment Of the State debt, but We cannot
help endorsing the following from the
state:
"The friends Of education in this
State will view with apprehension the
perils that surround the bill providing
for an annual appropriation to establish
and continue q State normal school at
this venerable seat Of learning. The
people of Southeastern Virginia need
this school and they ought to have 1t.
II is only necessary TO examine the sta
tistics of the public schools i'll this sec
ton of State to see the woiui lack OF
white male teachers for the public
schools. These cities and counties pay
nearly half the taxes that go into the
State Treasury. How much do they
draw out for higher institutions of learn
ing? Last year they drew 81, 800 for the
Virginia Medical College, whilst the rest
of the State drew about 100000. The
people in the southeastern counties OF
Virginia have n right 20 expect this
modest appropriation of $4,000, and
those who oppose it are only rearing up
enemies for the higher institutions OF
learning in other parts of the State
Who can vote against such bill? Is
it too late for the two houses to pass the
original or some other like bill for the
benefit of the glorious old tdewater re
zion?
