THE ALASKA COMMISSION.

About ten years ago Great Britain dis
covered the boundary line which had
existed between Russia and England dur
ing sixty years was incorrect. 1t did not
take in territory which had recently be
come valuable and on this fact the claim
that II was Incorrect was based. Mean
time, since the line was established,
Alaska had become American territory,
In the treaty by which the territory was
ceded to the United States by Russia the
line as agreed upon years before by Eng
land and Russia was copied verbatim. 1t
is possible that the discovery that the
line was Incorrect would never have been
made had Alaska remained Russian ter
ritory. But the United States Is weak on
boundary disputes. 1t has always been
our policy to make concessions rather
than have trouble. Fifty odd years ago
there was heated controversy over what
was then called the northeastern bound
ary That was settled upon compro-
mise line. In 1874 James X. Polk was
elected on what was called a $40 or fight
platform. Mr.. Polk lost no time in
settling that dispute by accepting the 10
line in pace Of $40. The territory be-
tween the two lines now constitutes Brit
ish Columbia. 1t gives Great Britain a
Pacific outlet and line upon which to
base the pending Alaska boundary dis
pute. II villa be remembered that when
the United States acquired Alaska 1t ac-
quired also the Russian title to one-half
of Berlng sea. The Russian title was
good enough for Russia, but 1t was not
good enough for the United States.
Spurred on by Canada, Great Britain
Claimed open sea rights in the American
half of Bering sea, which she never
claimed In the Russian half. The reason
for this difference OF policy Is supposed
to Tie In the fact that when Russia Is at
tackled on her own ground she responds
by a movement of her army and navy
When the United States is attacked she
agrees to a commission. The commits
sion invariably gives away the whole
point In dispute and generally fines the
United States for having put the other
Party to some trouble and expense in
proving Its rights. The United States
fas lost all especial rights In Berlng sea
ana owes Canadian sealers Sl25OOO for
having imagined that II ever possessed
rights not common to al nations. Russia
meantime holds undlsturbed possession OF
the half OF Berlng sea she did not sell.
The success which attends the shotgun
policy is discouraglng to the class or
statesmen who contend that all lnterna-
ttonal disputes may be settled by arbl-
tration. The government which declares
that there Is nothing to aiDitrate gener-
ally carries the point. The exceptions are
when the government which declares It
has nothing to arbitrate has likewise
nothing to fight with. II congress, when
It meets, VIII throw the report of the
Alaska commission out OF the window
and declare that the line agreed upon
sixty odd years ago by Great Britain
and Russia must stand. tho Alaskan
boundary trouble win end there

TWILIGHT SONG.

What Is the song that the twilight sings
When 1t bushes the earth chlld's muir
murings,
And fires the shroud that the sunset
filings
Ger the dying light OF day?
What is the wonderful melody
That folds the flower and iulls the bee
To sleep and forget his minstrelsy?
And the song words, what are they
Bach sunset ray is a music bar:
The notes of the song each evening star
And tenderly sweet its measures are,
'Tw1xt summers light and dark;
And the words of the song of the twi'
Tight Groom
Are the silver hush of the silent moon,
And the verse that the river pur.s In
June,
To the drifting thistle's bark.

To vacate Not only that. but he has

by Sheriff Ball and his deputies.
For several years past there has been
much loud talking done in Iron county
about the modus operandi OF the coun-

begun 60 think il was all talk and
no action, but the last move OF

the matter in different light. The sup
