ALAsKA's DESIRE.

1t Wants to BE Annexed to the state OF
washington-Now the Refuge for FusI-
iives From Justicr-Benef1ts of Later
Laws the Main Object.
SEATTLE, Aug. 2.-[Specia,. IA move
ment has been started in Alaska for the an
nexation of the territory as county to the
State Of Washington. The people of the
Territory do not expect to be allowed to
vote in the election of State officers,
but they desire representation in
the Legislature and government
by Washington laws The Territory has
been governed according to the organic law
of Oregon ever since Its cession, and these
laws are declared inapplicable to its needs.
Great injustice is often done litigants, who
have no remedy except an appeal at great
expense to the United States Supreme
Court William Milimore, of Wrangel,
who has lived in Alaska for IS years, has
held several Federal Offices and is deputy
marshal, is now on Puget Sound. He says
that an organized effort is being made to Sc
cure annexation to Washington in order to
escape the defective laws of Oregon and
come under a practical system of law.
The work of law officers in Alaska is no
easy one and is i'll paid, the salary being
$3.50 year for deputy marshals, they pay
ing expenses If a criminal escapes, the
officer dons Indian dress, hires canoe and
couple of natives and starts in pursuit
along the rough coast, travelling often
hundreds of miles without reaching a settle
ment He is often on one of those trips for
months at a time, travels thousands
of miles on a wild coast, through in
lets, up rivers and in perils and hardships.
When a criminal is captured, he must be
continually watched on the return trip lest
he turn the tables.
Alaska is the dumping ground for fugitive
criminals. They secure miners outfit on
arrival and start into the wilderness up the
Yukon. Getting two to four weeks start of
ments of similar desperadoes who instinct
lively hate an officer and are under no
restraints of law, so that the chances are, if
an officer goes up there, he will be muir
dered.

TIRE END.


So far as knighthood is to be regarded
as mark Of eminence in literature,
science or art, the result appears pretty
much the sanc as that which Thackeray
describes in one of his Roundabout
Papers" as likely to have ensued if
George III had instituted the Order OF
Merit, which he once had in serious con-
temptation. That order was TO have
been dedicated to Minerva, and DR..
Johnson himself was to have been the
first president or grand cross or grand
owl Of the society. The members were
to be adorned with a star of sixteen
points and yellow ribbon, and all the
recognized luminnries Of the literary,
scientific and artistic worlds were to be
enrolled among them. But how, Thack-
cray asks, when they had all of them been
admitted, could the door be shut against
inferior claimants2 How could you have
excluded Sir Alexis Sever, Sir Alessan-
dro, Tambudni, Sir Ago5tino Vellud,
Sir Antonio Paganini (violinisD, Sir
Sandy MGoffog Cpiper to the most hon
orable the Marquis of Farintosh), Sir
Alcide Fhcflac (promier danseur of her
majesty's theater), Sir Harley Quin and
Sir Joseph Grimaldi from Covent Gar

"They," he adds, ''have all the yellow
ribbon. They are all honorable, clever
and distinguished artists Let us elbow
through the rooms, make bow to the
lady of the horse, give a nod to Sir
George Thrrm, who is leading the or
chestra, and go in and get come cham

This was intended to DO a caricature
when Thackeray wrote it. But it GER

The young readers Of publication that
regularly absorbs and delights them with
ita stories or articles little know the talent.
labor, ingenuity and experience required
for the production Of each one OF these
works.
IL IS very frequent experience for tho
editor TO receive from some youth an in
spelled, ungrammatical and nwkwardly
expressed letter, offering stories unlimited
for the periodical, which, he says, he de-
vours every week with the keenest interest.
and which, he further asserts, Is the best
publication In tSIe whole world.
This literary aspirant evidently has not
the dimmest glimmering OF an idea as to
whit ere the Ingredients seUsonmgs. the
method of cooking and the form of serving
the agreeable dishes that tickle his mental
palate. His manuscript IL printed would
appear in the columns of publication Rs
illiterate nonsense, unless, ms is sometimes
the case in comic journals, short extract
should be published merely TO provoke
mirth.
To all such youthful literary aspirants
this is TO be said: Education first Is abso-
lutely necessary to literary achievement
not the education Of grammar schools and
text books only, but the education OF time
and observation and thought; then there
are needed thorough study and appreeia-
tlon of the art OF saying a certain thing In
the most effective way, which is quite as
intricate as the nrt of designing and build
ing boat.
Besides there Is the Talent If talent be
latent it will develop itself; II not, II is
not advisable to cherish any false hopes OF
seeing ones name in print.-New York
