ALASKA DEMANDS.
The People Want a Territorial Form of
 Government.

CHICAGO, Sept. IS. = Congressman Aldrich of this city, who has just re- turned from six weeks trip to Alaska, brings the news that the peo- pie of that distant territory think it has outgrown its swaddling clothes and wants to govern itself. Demand is made for a regular territorial gov ernment, a new set of up-to-date laws and the privilege of sending a delegate to congress, like Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma The restless Alaskans have already caused to be introduced in the National house of representa- tives several bills to bring about these projects, on which they have set their hearts. The failure of congress to ad- vance these bills has, MT. Aldrich says, disgusted the people of Alaska. There are many Americans in Alaska who point with unconcealed disgust to con- gessional neglect and to the jealous care to which the British are foster ing the interests of their citizens on the Canadian boundary of Alaska.
 Congressman Aldrich says he thinks it is not time yet for Alaska to have a delegate to congress. The population, cliou6h SOuudluluE CO1uO A,UUU VUU6TS IS scattered over such an immense area that, he says it would be simply i'm l possible for the votes to be counted and returned within the time limit now provided by our election laws
 | But he says new set of laws is abso- lutely necessary for Alaska. That country is now run on the guidance o1 obsolete and ill-fitting statues. They are largely such laws as were in the Oregon code before 1884. No new stat, utes have been added, and, while the civilization of Alaska has grown at z tremendous rate within the last twelve years, and the population has more than doubled, the laws under which the Alaskans live have not advanced { step toward keeping pace with the pro gress in every other direction Alasks is not governed like other territories It has no legislature and but few off cers, and even these it does not cleo itself. They are appointed by the pres ident.
 The Alaskans set forth all their com plaints to Congressman Aldrich whel
 he visited them.

 the Question.

OLATHE, Kan, Sept. 1S.-One of the school houses at Holiday was de- stroyed by fire last Friday night.
 There has been some trouble of late among the citizens of that vicinity in regard to dividing the schools. There are some who wish to separate the white from the colored scholars. This movement was opposed by the par ents of the colored children. The de struction of the school house may tend to settle the difficulty satisfactory to all concerned.

 Indeed, it has been said, and with some foundation, that if Jease James had needed his brothers warning he would never have been shnt down by Ford, whom he trusted so fully that he removed his pistol belt and turned his back to him, only to receive his death wound.

80 81 THE RLUE.

Tomorrow is the anniversary Of the
Battle Of the Blue. The period imme-
diately surrounding October p, 1854,
was a momantous one for Kansas.
The state had already contributed a
very. large percentage of her able-bod-
led citizens to the war for the union
and when the news came that Prices
army was on the border and about to
overrun the state, the regiment of mi
ntfa under command Of Colonel Veale,
which went from Shawnee county, to
repel the invasion, left almost nobody
behind but women and children. There
were less than 300 of them yet no one
hesitated or seemed to think Of avoid
ing the call of duty.
On the day that the call to arms was
issued men rode far into the night no
tifying their neighbors. It was all
done 50 quickly that there was no time
for arranging affairs at home and be-
fore the wives and children of those
who were to imperil their lives had
time to realize what had happened the
defenders of their homes were gone.
Then set in a time Of anxious days
and sleepless nights. Then rumors
came. There had been a fight and Col
oneI Veale's regiment had been in the
midst of it, The stragglers began to
come singly. by twos and in groups ana
the story was told.
Some did not return, and it is to the
memory of these that the beautiful
monument in Topeka cemetery, the gift
of Mr.. G. G. Gage. is erected. Some had
been captured by the enemy but the
tide of invasion had been rolled back
and the Shawnee county men had done
it, They had held at bay an army of
more than ten times their number for
an hour and thus enabled reinforce
ments to come up. Kansas was saved
The valorous action Of that little
body Of men has been htungly cele-
brated in stone and on canvas. The
poet and the historian can find no
worthier theme.

TUNNEL UNDER EAST RIVER
An Immense Tunnel for Street Cars
to Connect New York and
BrOolxluu

New York, Oct 21-Counsel for the
New York and Brooklyn Bridge Co.
appeared before the board of aldermen
today to ask permission to construct
tunnel to connect the trolley system Of
Brooklyn with the cable lines of New
York. The project contemplates t~o
tracks in two tunnel tubes. These viii
be $500 feet long and the dimensions
of the two tunnels together will, in
width be AS feet. The height all the
way through will be % feet, and the
grade at either end viii not be more
than per cent.
The tunnel viii come to the surface
at Ann street and Park row. New York
and at the junction of Willoughby,
Adams and Fulton street near the city
hall Brooklyn. The engineers say the
tunnel on the plan outlined can be con
structed within a comparatively short
time. The capital stock of the com
pany is fixed at 100000 and it is pro
posed to issue Sc 000. 600 of bonds.
The project is said to have been ap-
proved by Mayor Strong, of New York

board Of aldermen of this city. It is
now sought to obtain the sanction Of

HARRISON,S TOUR.
Re Made Ten Speeches During the
Day in Indiana.


Evansville. Ind. Oct. 21.-GeneraI
Harrison arrived at Evansville at 6
o'clock last night. having made ten
speeches during the day. Everywhere
there were great crowds and every
where great interest was nantes ted At
Worthington he spoke for thirty min
utes combining himself to the discussion
of the silver question. AT Edwards
port he spoke briefly. At Bushrod he
addressed several hundred miners who
had gathered. At Vincennes the sill
yer question was again the topic. Re
ferring to Mr.. Bryan's declaration that
we can have bimetallism with free coin
age, he said: Il say we cannot This
government is a great and strong one,
but it cannot fix values If you want
to know what anything is worth, you
must go to the market to find out The
statutes may declare that a bushel Of
oats is Of the same value as bushel
of wheat. but that does not make 1t
So"
The demonstration of the day was a
Princeton. Leaving the train, General
Harrison was escorted to the fair
grounds where an immense crowd
awaited him. From the station to the
grounds the streets were filed with
people, who cheered him heartily.
He alluded to the fact that Mr. Bryan
had ATTEMPTED to show that he Occu-
pied a different position now from that
occupied by him while president on the
silver question. He quoted at length
from his speeches in 1878 and also from
his messages to congress
The remainder of his speech was de-
voted to the reference to IeuefdA inter
ference in the Chicago platform.

THE PEOPLE MADE THE ISSUE.
The campaign now coming to a close
has demonstrated that the people make
the issues, when they choose to do 50.
in spite of the politicians
Although number Of public ques-
tions were touched upon in the plat
form Of each party all efforts at sus-
tanning a controversy on any one Of
them except the money question, have
proven failures. Democratic orators
started out to defend the various
planks Of the Chicago platform in detail
tut soon abandoned that course and
devoted themselves to the financial
question because the people didn't want
to hear anything else.
Republican orators have made siren
uous efforts to inject the tariff question
into the discussion and to pick flaws
in the entire Chicago platform, but
they also have had to give it up and
settle down to talking on the money
question.
The voters seem intent on settling
one thing at a time. and the one thing
this year is whether or not the country
shall remain on a gold basis. It seems
evident that a very large percentage
of the votes which will be cast in the
approaching election viii be cast with
especial reference to the views of the
voter on this question, and the verdict
therefore, can hardly fail to indicate
the honest wishes and beliefs Of the
American people.
If the election should go against Mr..
Lauterbach of New York and he should
try to put his threat Of resistance to
the popular viii into execution, he is
not likely to receive much encourage
ment outside of his own little settle

IN AN INDIANS HONOR.
West Virginia Citizens Erect a Monu-
ment to Old Cornstalk

Point Pleasant, w. Va, Oct 21-A
splendid monument Of native stone to
the memory Of the great Indian chief
CornstaIk who was murdered in the
fort here over 100 years ago, has just

The dedication speech was made by
Charles r. HOgg in beautiful and eIO-
quent language. in which he paid
glowing tribute to the old warrior.
Since the removal in 1871 Of the re-
mains OF the gallant warrior from their
first resting place of interment near the
scene Of his tragic death to their pres
ent location in the court house yard in
closure, nothing whatever has been done
to perpetuate his memory, and the
grave has usually been completely hid
den beneath a growth Of tangled weeds
and grass, unnOticed and unmarked. ex-
cepting when some strangers fnQuir-
ing curiosity has caused it to be point

1t was under the command of Corn
stalk that the allied tribes of the Ohio
country attacked the fort here on OctO-
Der 10. IVA In this fight COrnstock dis
played wonderful ability as a comman-
der and animated his undiscipIined
followers to the point of rashness in
his utter fearlessness. Following this
battle the Indians, at the advice of
Cornstalk. sued for peace, and q treaty
was soon ratified, but not before the
gallant old warrior had lost his life in
the effort.
