A New NEW ENGLAND.

In view of the numerous projects for
trolley lines to connect various points in
Vermont, the following from the Atlantic
Monthly is interesting;
The trolley roads are rapidly covering
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connect
cut with a network that is slowly and surely
redistributing the population; 1t seems al
most inevitable that great part of the
present rural area of these three states will
ultimately be included in the suburbs of their
numerous and widely scattered industrial
centres and of their dozen or more large
cities. When this condition arrives, if it
does arrive, rural life will have become
suburban, and farming, aside from market
gardening will have practically disappeared.
The bicycle and good roads are eXerting
minor but considerable influence in the same
direction.
Equally important is the fact that large
areas in all sections of New England are in
process of transformation from farms to
sites of country seats. Residents of cities
are coming more and more to make their
real homes in the country. They are building
their country houses with more comfort and
more solidity, and are living in them a much
larger part of the year than formerly. The
country season extends already from May
to November and is still frightening, I'M
proved railway and steamboat transporta.
tlon, the multiplication of large fortunes,
greater leisure, above all a growing apprecia-
lion of the sports and resources of country
life have contributed to this result II looks
very much as if our urban society were at
tachlng itself primarily to the land living on
the land and leaving it for the city only in
the festive season. Whether this tendency
will produce again a landed aristocracy OF
other forms of wealth, who can say? One
thing only is sure-it would produce thereby
new New England.

four years, with salary of $4,000. The
law speaks Of Alaska as a "district" and
empowers the governor to enforce the
laws, grant temporary reprieves to Grim
inals and command the militia. There
are eighteen other civil officers, half of
them commissioners in legal cases. and
about the same number of deputies. When
the governor finds no law applicable to
case in hand he is authorized to refer to
the laws of Oregon for guidance.
One of the duties of the governor of
Alaska is to make an annual report to
the president on October l of each year
concerning his acts and doings, and the
condition of the district with reference
to its resources, industries, population
and the administration of the civil gov
eminent" This has been light task
heretofore, but the situation has changed.
The rush of the last few months to the
territory has given it comparatively
large population, with barest frame
work of government ready for it. There
are now considerable cities on this coast
that have sprung up almost in night
and no law except such as is enforced by
common consent. No roads exist and no
surveys for making them. Mail routes
are unopened to the interior and that
vast region is unmapped and almost un-
known. The maps that have been issued
are mere, outlines. During the thirty
years Alaska has belonged to us govern
ment exploring and surveying parties
should have been in the field every year.
They would have cost but little, while
their labors at this time would be invalu-
able.
Alaska has suddenly emerged from
the waiting stage. Congress will now be
compelled to act, and much thought
should be devoted to the future of the
big territory. Provisions for the sale
and settlement of its lands are highly
important, quite as much so as mining
laws. A government at once just and
liberal will be appreciated by the people.
One of the members of the house COM
mittee on territories says early action
will be taken. He believes that Alaska
should be provided with government as
elaborate as that of Arizona and New
Mexico, and that delegate from the
territors will be admitted to congress.
The opening of Alaska should be for the
benefit of the whole people, with ample
safeguards against monopolists. One of
the supreme tests of the capacity of con-
gress at the coming sessions will be its
legislation upon this important subject.

Our greatest territory may be said to

half million square miles it has been

Systematically explored. For nearly
twenty years after its purchase Alaska

Stka. In that time few exploring trips
were made by the troops at Sitka. In

feeling:

NH. PLATT OF NEW York.

1t has been very evident to man up
a tree, ever since the nomination of Mr..
Tracy for mayor was forced in Greater
New York by the republican boss, Sena-
tor Platt that two things were certain:
LIST, that the government of that great
CITY would be turned over to the Tam
many crowd; and I'd, that after that had
been accomplished the Indignation of the
republicans in the great state of New
York, and the nation, would be so great
against Mr.. Plat, whom they were sure to
hold responsible for the result, that he
would be unceremoniously kicked out of
his position as boss and made harmless
for any further meddling with Repub-
lican politics in New \ ork.
The first result has been accomplished,
and the second is well under way, as the
following editorial from the Rutland
Herald illustrates
1t is bad for IA commander to lose battle,
and that is especially true Of political battles
in which the rank and file have the ultimate
power. There is plainly trouble brewing for
Boss Plat. Many republicans who supported
the party ticket I'm New York city are dis.
gusted beyond measure with his dOings, ana
il ne does not at least have lively fight to
hold his place great many signs must fail.
Thus, there was II meeting of few republic
can politicians in New York city the other
day, ana after it one of the party-a state sen
ator-talSed thus:
We shall hold a series of conferences within
the next few weeks with men who believe the
republican party has Il future and that its
future is not in the control of one man. We
have reached the point where we prefer
democratic asccndancy to continued success
under Senator Plat. His power to wreck
popular movements for better government
must come to an end. Unless he bows to the
inevitable we shall not only defeat the organ
lZatiOn of the next assent oily, but shall con
test all the assembly districts next year. We
owe duty to the republican party that is far
beyond the glamour of temporary triumph,
and we have set our faces in the direction of
clean party government. We shall not have
any more Plattism:
