THE ALASKA TRADE.

Seattle has made good start toward es-
tablishing trade relations with Alaska.
Within the past few weeks representatives
of our principal jobbing houses have
visited the northern towns, and in each
case have come home with large orders for
goods. They report times good in every
way, a very important current busi-
ness and almost limitless possi-
bilities for the future. Seattle is
well situated to command this trade. She
is nearer by 300 miles than any other i'm
portant commercial center with the ad-
vantage both in point of time and in
freight rates, and all she has to do to gain
and hold the trade is to use it fairly.
That is, she must make it to the ad-
vantage of the Alaskans to send
their orders here instead of to Portland or
San Francisco, and this ought to be easily
done. 1t is the fault of both these cities
with respect to Alaska to assume AFRO
gantly that the business of Alaska s'be-
longs" TO them, and it is not surprising
that this spirit has worked to their dis
credit. The business of Alaska belongs
not to San Francisco or Portland. but to
the Alaskans, and they will place it where
their best interests Liza point our mer-
chants will do well to bear in mind.
To serve this trade, fully as well as TO
strengthen her position in her more i'm
mediate field, Seattle needs a wholesale
dry goods house. In some lines, notably
in hardware ana groceries, Seattle is
strong. but the lack Of general dry
goods house is a notable and conspicuous
weakness. II is vastly important that our
trade organization should be strengthened
and there is no way TO do it so certainly as
TO secure the establishment here of first
class dry goods house.

got but two months when they were emit
tied to four. New York is as bad as Mas
sachusetts.
In Delaware, where they still punish the
wife-beater. the pickpocket and the thief
with the lash, and enforce the gospel of
hard work, far better results are obtained.
What is wanted in prisons is industrial
education enforced with austerity and
severity; not amusements and better food
than the prisoner can earn by his own free
exertions; not idleness, which only makes
the prison an agreeable asylum for indo-
lent criminal Migrants, who have only to
break the laws to be clothed and fed by
the state as they never have been fed be-
fore, while the Society for Aiding Prison
ers' Families takes care OF the wife and
children, or if destitute, the town takes
care of them. These Massachusetts, meth
DDS, which instead of Furnishing crime
so sternly as to make q prison as bitter
memory as hot stove is to the child that
has sat upon 1t, offer reward for crime by
making prison life less disagreeable
confinement than sea voyage. and q
veritable winter palace to q host of vaga-
bonds. In our own state these false
methods of prison government do yet OBJ
tain popular support, but the drift is in
the direction everywhere of making q
prison an agreeable asylum for incidence
and criminal animalism instead of making
1t as hateful to a convict as q treadmill is
to brickyard mule.

CEDAR CREEK.

Today Is the anniversary of the victory
of Cedar Creek. won by General Sheridan
over General Early October 10, 1854 Sheri-
dan had been summoned to Washington
on the 10th of September by Secretary
Stanton, and on his departure babe Gen.
eral Wright, who was left in command, to
look well to his left. Our army was en-
camped on the left bank of Cedar creek,
rapid, shallow stream, just above its juno
ton with the Shenandoah. Through the
center of our position ran the valley pike,
crossing Cedar creek about a mile above
its mouth by bridge. Two miles down
this pike Is Middletown. Sheridan's line of
about . 900 men extended some four miles
or more in an irregular bow. Crook with
the Eighth corps held the extreme left.
On the right of the turnpike the Nine
teenth corps under Emory held the
center on the brow of the creek.
Further to the right was the Sixth corps,
s3etty's division holding the right of the
corps. and on the extreme right of the line
ere Clusters and Merritt's divisions of
.avalry under Torbert. General Early
from his signal station, which overlooked
ali our camps, saw his opportunity and
planned a daring surprise. He sent Gen.
eral Gordon, now governor of Georgia, with
three divisions of his army of 1900, on
the night of the 18th, through the woods
around the base Of Three Top Mountain,
on the south side of the Shenandoah, and
had him cross the river quietly below the
mouth of Cedar Creek and strike our left
flank and rear, under Crook, while he
(Early) with two divisions and forty pieces
of artillery pushed straight down the
turnpike and struck our left and
center in front at the same time that
Gordon was rolling up our left flank. 1t
was an admirable plan and was success
fully executed. A heavy fog favored the
enemy, and our careless feeling of security
was so fatal that Early in the gray of the
morning about o'clock ran right over
the parapets of Crooks front, while
Gordon at the same rolled up its left
flank, which was commanded by General
X. b. Hayes, afterwards president of the
United States. In q very short time
Crooks corps was completely dispersed,
losing its camps, artillery. etc.
There was nothing for Crooks COM
mand to do but run. Ii was the best thing
they could do. for caught as they were in
the wrong tactical formation resistance
meant only death or capture. To run for
Il and reorganize in a new position was
the only remedy against a surprise
that never ought to have happened
under a vigilant commander. The flight
of the Eighth corps uncovered the Nine
tenth corps, which had time to make
something like an organized stand. but
with the victorious Gordon rolling up
their flank and Kershsw pounding away
a. their front. there was nothing to do but
fall back to the line of the Sixth corps, so
the Nineteenth corps was driven from its
camps, lost its guns and temporarily dis
appeared from the field as an organiza-
ton. Then Gordon and Kershaw attacked
the Third and First divisions of the Sixth
corps, thanked them and forced them back

A majority of the tin plate trade in Ball
timore are Democrats, and yet at the meet
ing on the 9th inst, they were unanimous
in their opposition to any meddling with
the existing tin plate tax. William Grecht
said it was an insult to say that tin could
not be manufactured. The mistake was
in having the tariff go into effect in July
instead of January. At present the man.
ufacturers cannot be expected to go in, as
the market is overloaded. John Black
said that after the tariff was made
a political revolution came, and the
people who were willing to invest under
favorable circumstances would not risk it
with hostile House and a danger of the
repeal Of the law. HI. o. Reese said there
were lots of mills making the heavy
plates, but not the I. G. ones, which are
chiefly used. Others spoke in the same
vein, the unanimous sentiment being that
if the assurances were at hand that no
hostile legislation would be enacted. fac
tories would rise as rapidly as the tin
was consumed.

NATIONAL NAVAL RESERVE.

The national naval reserve is one thing;
the state naval militia is another. The
state naval militia has already been dis
cussed in a recent issue. Our national
naval reserve, if it is modelled on the sys-
tenn of England's naval reserve, should
consist, says Lieutenant Commander
Miller, of the New York naval reserve ar
tillery, first, of the marine departments of
the government service; namely the light
house establishment, the life-saving crews,
the coast survey, the revenue marine and
the hospital bureau-a force in all of about
5000, but today, by a singular financial.
amphibious anomaly, under the treas
ury department. Second, of officers and
men who have been in the navy, and who
owe their country return for what has
been expended upon their education !;
these should be enrolled subject to call in
times Of war. Third, of such officers and
sailors of the merchant marine as may
qualify for positions in case of hostilities.
Fourth, of the new commercial steamers
that may meet the requirements Of con-
gressional acts. Under the English naval
reserve system her steamship companies
expect their officers to accomplish so many
hours of drill annually and make provision
for sharing their services for the required
time.

For several years past the Dominican
republic has been maintaining in its tariff
q free list of articles for the special en-
couragement of its agricultural industries.
By the terms of its recent reciprocity ar
rangement with the United States the free
list was to be abolished for all countries
except the United States when the reci-
procity treaty went into effect. In &C
cordance with this agreement the president
of San Domingo. under date of August
8, has published a decree abolishing this
free list, and restoring all articles named
in it to the rate of duties fixed in the gen.
eral tariff, which is an average of go per
cent. ad valorem. By this action the reci-
procity treaty is greatly increased in value
for the United States. The articles on this
free list embraced among others all classes
of machinery, tools and implements for
the developmentof agricultural and indus
trial establishments, tallow and oil for
machinery, guano and manures, zinc and
galvanized iron, cooperage, sacks for sugar,
railroad material and equipment, barbed
wire and coal. In addition there was a
list of articles admitted at duty of 10 per
cent. ad valorem, which has also been
raised to the full tariff rates, embracing
wood and lumber of all kinds, shingles,
files, slate, and all other materials for roof
ing: bricks, fiagstones, cement, iron, steel
and copper, in sheets or bars, nails and
screws, tubing of iron, copper or lead,
cordage, wagons, carts, wheelbarrows,
boats and lighters.

SEATTLE, MONDAY, OCT. 10.
CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

The amendments proposed by the char
ter revision committee, and which will
now be submitted to the council. will gem
orally meet with public approval. There
ere very many who would desire to see
the salary of mayor kept at 5000 in or
der to secure good share of the time of
business man of high standing in the COM
munity. but the example of retrenchment
in the highest Office in the city govern
ment may have a wholesome effect, at
least to the extent of strengthening the
hands of the council in cutting down other
expenses.
The settlement of the methods of assess
ment of property for street improvements
and for reassessment in cases where it
seems demanded by the claims of justice
is great relief from what has threatened
to be serious difficulty.
Next in Importance IS the consolidation
of three executive departments in one.
There will be- an attempt at demagogic
revolt against it, but the common sense
of the people may be depended upon to
give the new plan fair trial before con-

which will not present some Objectionable
features, but the proposed system has been
adopted with marked success, and seems
more free from complications than any
other suggested. The proposition to
place the control of police and fire
departments in a composite body
consisting of the mayor and chairmen of
council committees is open to the gravest
objections. One of the best features of the
charter is the clear distinction between
executive and legislative functions.
The concentration of all the city's legal
business in the office of the corporation
counsel is unquestionably good change.
It may not be advisable now to modify
the method of making charter amend
ments, but the time will come when the
power must not be confined within the
city council. Even before the proposed
amendments are adopted it will be seen
that the eminently human principle
of self-preservation and self-aggrandise-
ment will tinge the arguments. No great
harm can be done this time, however, as
there is no attempt to deprive the council
Of any fits honors or emoluments.

WILLARD LAUGHS ABOUT EVERETT.
He Says the Whaleback Works VIII

picked up his walking stick and strolled. unat-
tended, up Fourth street 1t was Henry Willard,
who had quietly arrived late Tuesday night,
and with his wife had taken rooms at the Aber-
deem. He looked bronzed and healthy, and
walked up street with the firm, easy tread of q
man at peace with himself and the world.
"where is his carriage?" was asked Passenger

ale takes a fast walking stick and enjoys the
open air and exercise"
Mr.. Willard will remain in st. Paul for some
days, but insists that his visit and his stay have
no public significance or interest. All that he
said was TO laugh away numerous stories that
were built up prior to his arrival. For instance,
he said he would go to the Coast via Duluth and
the Canadian Pacific, and the Globe reporter VEN
tured:

"Everetti Now, where in the world is Ev-
erettT"
"why, Everett is the coming great city on
Puget sound, where the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern are to have their terminals"
Mr.. Willard lay back and laughed heartily, de-
claring that he never knew there was such q
place on the map. He wanted to know what the
story was.
"There il q Iumor that you are now en- route to
