THAT NEXT PROBLEM.

AS to a definite announcement of
what the new Administration will do
with the currency, Secretary Gage
was unable 20 speak in his address
before the Boston merchants, but he
said enough to show that he and his
associates fully appreciate the. great
responsibility before them.
1.-THE administrative branch of the
Government will not sleep nor rest
Inactive" he declared. "It's infiu-
ence has been and will be for prompt
and judicious action" And to con-
firm this the Secretary quoted from
President McKinley's recent message,
Mr.. Gage apparently does not regard
the refusal of the Senate to authorize
a currency commission as an irrepar-
able misfortune. "That the bill which
passed the House with promptness
failed of recognition in the Senate, y
he said, 'smay be a matter of regret,
but not one for Encouragement.
What might have been accomplished
through a commission may be achiev-
ed without one"
Finally the Secretary, after express
ing his conviction that the new tariff
CATER possible brief interregnum"
will !provide revenue "ample for
proper Government expenditures,
added that 'tthe responsible party in
power, having successfully covered
this one important issue, may be safe
ly trusted to care equally well for the

stances where towns do not vote to
establish library villages are taking
the matter up and endeavoring to Sc
cure the state aid. Such an applica-
ton is now before the board for con-

cry this spring. These fish will not

ably soon find their way to the rivers

starts out in the direction of his hid
ing place the desperate is informed
in time for him to make tracks for
some other locality. Why do not the

"SEWARD'S FOLLY.n

A correspondent asks the Journal
when Alaska was purchased, at what
price and under what Administration.
Alaska was purchased by the United
States from Russia in 1867. The price
paid was 81 10000 Andrew Johnson
was then President of the United
States. William HI. Seward, who had
rendered distinguished services
throu ghout the war in Lincoln's Cab
met, was Secretary of State. Seward
was a broad, farseeing statesman. He
was one of the first to discern the
commercial possibilities of the Pacific
Ocean and the grandfield of endeavor
which it opened before the United
States. But he had to encounter
frantic opposition from the same in
fuences which are now opposing Ha-
waiian nnexation-those influences
were far more powerful then than
they are now. He was derided and
INSTRUCTED IN every possible way, and
even after the new Territory was &C
quired it was sneered at for a long
time as Stewards folly" and it's only
value was supposed to be in its fur
bearing animals.
The purchase of Alaska grew in
part out of the close friendship into
which we were drawn with Russia
during the Civil War, when the great
empire of the north was the only
European Power which did not look
coldly on the Union cause, and France
and England in particular were vio
lently hostile. But Alaska has yield
ed rich returns to American pluck
and enterprise, and has paid the cost
of it's purchase many times over.
Meanwhile it has given us little
trouble and less expense to govern.
A small gunboat of the navy is kept
regularly at Sitka, and year ago the
civil authority was maintained upon
shore by q Indian policemen. Since
1884 Alaska has been an organized
district, with a governor and a Dis
trio t Court, under the Jurisdiction of
the Interior Department. It's laws are
the laws of Oregon.
In 1890 Alaska had a population of
30 900, 400 of whom were whites and
the rest chiefly Esquimaux and Indi-
ans. But since the n the white popu
lation has increased greatly through
the migration of miners to the Yu-
kon. This process has been going
steadily onward for several years,
though only lately have sensational
discoveries of gold arrested the great
worlds Northumberland.

Silver continues to depreciate lin
value while wheat and other products
are approaching. Wheat is selling
for IS cents Or SO more than it COM
manded one year ago while silver
brings number of cents less than it
did twelve months since. At that
time this country was in the midst of
an exciting and critical national cam
paign, and the people were told that
it was depreciating silver that drag
ged other prices downward, but sub
seqEent developments have furnished
stronger argument in favor of sound
money than were urged by the popo-
cratic stump orators in favor of de-
based coinage; and the whole people
can now see the fallacy of the popo-
cratic free coinage statements.

The wisdom of Speaker Reeds
course in holding the House down to
the work which it was specially called
to perform, must be obvious to any
body who gives the matter attention.
Had the committees been appointed
and general legislation entered upon
the chances are that the passage of
the tariff bill would have been great
" delayed in the House with a cor
responding delay in the Senate, and
there would have been constant dan
ger of being side tracked for some
other legislation or passed only on
condition that some other bill of
doubtful utility should be passed al
so. With the House open for gem
eral legislation we should doubtless
have had Cuban agitation which
