AVAILABLE DISCOVERY.
The United States Entitled to
Ninety Miles More of Alaska.

OTTAWA, Ont. Feb. 27.-The report
of the interior department contains the
following with reference to the Alaskan
boundary, at present the subject of dis
pute between Canada and the United
States: In last years report it was ex-
planned that William Oeilvie had been
sent i'll charge of a survey party to ex-
plore the Yukon district. Starting
from Victoria in the spring of 1887, he
crossed from Chilkoot inlet to the head
waters of the Yukon, and went down
the latter to a point near the interna-
tional boundary between Alaska and
Canada, where he spent the greater
part of the winter, making astronomical
observations for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the position of the 141st degree
of longitude, the international boundary
at that point. His observations have
not yet been completely reduced, but
an approximate calculation shows that
the boundary is nearly ninety miles
below the point where it is marked on
United States maps. This is Of great
importance, as the line passes through
the best gold-bearing districts yet dis
covered in the country,

A GEoGRApHICAL OUTRAGE.

The legislative manual for 1889 gives
the Minnesota State Historical society
direct slap in the face. There are three
maps printed in the manual, one show
ing the state by counties, another by
judicial districts, and the third by legis-
lative districts, and in each Lake Glazier
is laid down as the source of the Missis-
sippi river. The manual is compiled
and edited by Secretary of State HANS
MATTsoN and published by the Pioneer
Press company. In view of all that
has been said and written upon this
subject, and of the formal and decided
action of the state historical society in
branding GLAZIEK's claim to discovery
as fraud, tits singular that Secretary
MATTsoN should in this manner set the
seal of the state to this public and out
rageous insult to such men as Gov. RAM
sEY, Gen. SIBLEY, Mr.. WILLIAMS and
all the pioneers who unite in their vim
dication of the truth of history.

WHEN there is slight pause in the
jubilation over the passage of the bill
insuring the speedy erection of four
new states, the fact may be noted that
very remarkable confidence is displayed
in the prudence and loyalty to Ameri-
can ideas of the people Of the territories /;
as they are to be admitted as soon as
they can get the state panoplY on, with
ont regard to the quality of the work.
The usual plan has been for congress
to pass upon the constitution and de-
termine whether it met the require
ment of republican in FORM" Of
course it is safe to trust the intelligent
and patriotic people of these territories,
but if New Mexico, or Utah, or Canada
had been in the list, it might be we'll to
read their papers over carefully. 1t is
a loose system and bad precedent. There
oughtto be some well-defined methods
prescribed for state building, and not
leave the matter so largely to the ca
price or partisan mood of those in au-
thority at the time.

THE gossips have already notified an
anxious public that Gen. HARRISON will
declare in his inaugural that he will not
accept renomlnation. They say that
he does this in order to obtain greater

by making such a statement he can
check the charge of the army of Office

AUSTRALIAN TAX SYSTEM.

1t is stated that South Australia was
the first to inaugurate the reform meas
ure in voting that has secured such
wide favor. 1t has since, as reported,
taken new departure in tax matters,
and adopted something like the HENRY
GEORGE single tax law. In the towns
the taxes for waterWOrks and all the
municipal features are levied on land
values alone. In the country districts
all Improvements upon land are eX-
empted from general taxation. AS in
most of the Western states and terri
tories in this country, large tracts of
land there are held, unimproved, by
rich SPECTATORS; and they probably
find the law very oppressive and un-
just. No reason is apparent why the
test there Of the principle should not be
thorough and comprehensive.

nitted their report to the house. The
unofficial matter alleged to have been
introduced is q list of the staff officers
known as Anderson's cavalry. In the
opinion of the committee this matter
was not official, and its insertion into
the records was improper, and it seems
to have no other foundation than its ap-
pearance in the newspapers. The per-
son who is principally responsible for
the publication OF this list in the rec
ords. as disclosed by the testimony, is
Mr.. Tweedale. 1t was upon his author
lty that its publication was initiated.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-At 10 O'Clock
this morning Vice President-Elect Levi
P. Morton started from the Pennsyl-
vania railroad depot in Jersey City for
Washington. 1t was expected that
there would be a large delegation ac-
companying him, but the big crowd
which had congregated at the depot
were disappointed when they saw only
three carriages, containing only Mr..
Morton's family and servants, aIight

Thompson, vice president of the Penn

traversed the platform the railroad en-
pIoyes lifted their caps. When the
party got comfortably seated, small
army of newspaper men entered the
car. Mr.. Morton recognized them, and
at once came out on the rear platform.
His wife and children, he said, would
return to this city about ten days after
the inauguration.

week a band of cowboys, representing
themselves to be in the employ of the
Colorado and New Mexico Cattle CON-
pany, rode into Collins, small place in
the west end of the public strip, and
ordered the citizens to yacate that ter.

erty as he could carry with him, to-
gether with his brother and mother, he
fled to Boston, small town near the
Colorado line. He says there is quite a
number of refugees in Boston. who had

Anderson tells of ten men who have

end. The United States authorities

WHEN manis approached by life
insurance agent in business way he
can remember that the solici tor is offer
ing him something the worth of which
he-the solicitor-probably has prac-
tical knowledge of. In other words, life
insurance men use their own goods.
The company officials are always them
selves the holders of policies: the
president of one standard organization
carries 100000 on his life, and others
are insured in fair proportion. The
rule holds good in nearly all depart
ments of the service, and the general
agents. solicitors. medical examiners,
clerical forces, etc., are composed of
men who are mostly insured. They
have had opportunities of seeing the
real value of life insurance, and have
been glad to avail themselves of its
benefits.
