From . Report by Agent Joseph Murray, st.
George Island.
On Sunday, May II, the schooner Alton. Cap
tain Worth, OF San Francisco, touched at the
Island ana the captain came ashore and in
formed us OF the new lease and new company.
On learning Of the change the natives held
several meetings and Afterwards came to the
government house to have my advice q to how
they should act In case any material changes
were made In their mode Of working, govern
ment or the amount Of their pay.
The meeting vaa adjourned from tfme 70 time
until they had thoroughly discussed the most
important question raised, and at the last
meeting, held May Q, they unanimously de-
clared that it was their firm belief aud honest
opinion that the seals had diminished and
would continue to diminish from year to year,
because al the male seals had been slaughtered
without allowing any to grow to maturity for
use ON the brooding-sround.

Some of the points in General Palmer's
interview with the Alliance members,
Moore and Cockrell, before they gave him
their support, entitle the new senator to
high rank q veteran humbug. This, for
instance: "It must be apparent to every
thoughtful man" said tho general, "that
from the first settlementpf Illinois. forty
years ago, the whole policy of the govern
ment has favored the accumulation of
property. The great problem
for all politicians should be to arrest that
tendency" From which We can only infer
that in the Judgment of this great cham
pion of reform improvidence is virtue
and frugality crime, and that the highest
function Of the government is to discour-
age and prevent its citizens from providing
against q rainy day. 1t is to be hoped
that no tidings of this interview may reach

pie may be exacting and even unreasonable In
their demands, think the aggregate Of their
Judgment, like that Of jury, Is wise and safe,
and the beat that can b obtained; that In the
long run, too, they are generous and appreciate
earnest purpose and fidelity on the
part of their public servants. At all events
have not been able to zee why they cannot

Of their senators Is with that of their governors

That plan seems to be more democratic and
more directly in the line Of popular government
than the delegation of their authority from

mind Of any one who has been enabled TO base
an opinion upon personal observation that this,

furs and fish are gold and silver, the first gold
mines to yield returns being located toward the
end of the year 1850 In the vicinity OF the present
town OF juneau. From year to year discoveries
Of gold and silyer-bearing quarts have been
made and located, and in many instances the
mines were operated In . primitive and desul-
tory manner. At present but three or four gold
producing quartz mines are known to ship bull
lion, among them the famous Treacweil, or
Paris, mine, said to Be the largest now in ex-
istarce, which supplies mill with capacity
Of 80 stamps. The output OF the mine has
been variously and vaguely stated at figures
ranging from $4,000 to more than 100000 per
month, but as it has been possible to ascertain
the total shipment of dust and bullion from
Alaska, which does not now exceed $4,000 per
annum, 1t is evident that the yield Of this mine
must have been greatly exaggerated.

The Rev. J. Sanders Reed, the Episcopal rector
OF San Francisco who "min;stesed to the
spiritual needs" Of tho late King Kaiskaua. has
written Q letter to the New York ErcniAg Pod
defending his late majesty from the charge that
he was bad king. II Is just such letter re-
garding king as might be expected from such
Z source-sakirs no recognition of his career as
. ruler, but extravagantIy euioGixing his .kind-
ness, culture and Christian qualities"
Mr. Reed points out that the members OF the
kings household were very fond of him; that he
attended church regularly; was composer Of
some Hawaiian music, bathed regularly and
was loyal friend.
All these qualities and accomplishments GER
tainly contribute to make . perfect man. but
they do not touch his qualities as ruler. II he
had bathed less frequently and given more attcn-
ton to the finances OF the country the Hs-
waiian Islands would not today be virtually the
property OF foreigners.

Citizen George Francis Train has become less
eccentric in his speech and ways than he used
to be in former times. Occasionally he talks
like man OF practical quality and orderly
thought. A few evenings ago, when he made
speech 1t . banquet of literary club in this
city, he surprised his hundred hearers by the
solIdity OF his ideas, and drew forth applause by
the force Of his language. There Is reason to
fear the obliteration of all those peculiarities
that formerly distinguished the "Citixen'' from
ordinary citi1ens

What it Cost to Publish the Laws.

The secretary of state has just IS
sued a statement, condensed from
the report of secretary of state and
state treasurer, of the amounts re-
sceived and paid out by the treasurer
during the fiscal year ending Sept. 80,
1891. Among the items of disburse-
ments occurs this: "Publishing laws
ir state paper, $5,256.4O." AS this
is an economic reform administration
this item of printing the laws is worth
some notice. Two years ago the same
item, under Republican rule, was 81
5000, 81 ,OO5.9O less than this year,
a difference somewhat disconnected
from reform which does not appear
to have called forth any comment
from Wall or his underlings.
A review of the several reports of
secretaries of state from the time Of
the beginning of biennial sessions of
the legislature to last year shows
that the average cost of this item for
ten years of Republican rule was 49,
918.88. This is 1,237.52 lower
than the cost of the same item under
Democratic reform, and it has not
yet had mention by reform spouters.
1t is possible the secretary of state
could readily explain the reason for
this difference if he would, and such
explanation would probably be that
the publication of larger number of
long charters was made mess of and
had to be done all over again, and
the state stood the damage.
