Another View of 1t.

To the Editor OF The Times:
The intense satisfaction exhibited by
Democrats over Mr.. Mckinley recent civil
service 1r,ier is perhaps natural. Were
a Democratic officeholder l would per
haps share in the general JOY now prevail
ing In Democratic circles. But you VIII
pardon me If suggest that the word
"spoilsmen," SO freely used to hold us
up to ridicule by the officeholders and
the press and the sanity members of the
Civil Service Reform League, does not
intinltdate or make us ashamed. These
same offieeholders who denounee us as
''spoilsmeH'' Were themselves spoiIsmen
four years ago Of the most approved type.
they took everything in sight except ii
civil service examination. President Me
kinley less than year ago was an office
seeker, and so We're the members Of his
Cabinet. We Were invited by the thou
sands to visit Canton and '.walk on the
grass" of Major McKinley's front yard.
lie never got tired OF us until by hard
work we swung him into the Presidency.
How beautifully he talked TO us and how
he "va1ed telling the people what his real
civil service views We're is a matter of
history. At home durin. the canvass We
Were American citizens and we came TO
washington expecting to find him the
same genial, smiling gentleman; but i'm
agine our surprise to find him completely
changed and Joining the Democratic office
holders In holding us up to scorn as 'spoils-
men" A party that does not take care
of its honest, intelligent workers cannot
succeed and does not deserve to succeed
The civil service law is repugnant to the
Idea of our free institutions and If it
Is not wiped off the statute books by
McKinley's Administration will be by
Bryans Mr. Mckinley has committed him
self TO sustaining an officeholding arts
tocracy. The country accepts the issue.

ROBBED BY couRTEsANs.
Golored Women Held md Their VIC

Annie White and Alice Evans. two
ycnng coloIed women, Were held for the
grand jury yesterday under $1,000 bonds
on the charge Of Tobbing James Franklin,
stranger in the city.
Mr.. FRANKLIN, a llorid, well-dressed man,
about sixty years old, claimed that the
girls entlred him into their rooms in
Frecdman's alley and while there re-
lieyed hitn Of pocketbook containing 81 3.
At the time he was accosted complainant
ackno wieoged that he was half seas
over" and when the girls asked him to
go to theiI room he went Just to see
what was up" AS soon as he had en-
tered the door the Evans girl threw her
arms around his neck and held him while
the White girl stole his purse. Then
both ran from the roun,. He instantly cried
out that he was robbed. He positively
identified tie White girl as the thief.
Officer Mcdonald, who made The arrest,
produced Mt Frapkfin's pocketbook which
he had recovered from a chimney In
Alice Evans house, lie arrested both
girls last night and at the station each
accused the other Of committing the
theft. Both defendants, he claimed, had
been before the court many times.
!, Judge KiIni,alI said he had no considera-
ton for men who fIeqnented such ems
as thai 10 which the robbery occurred,
hut tina the community must be protected
and held the girls for the grand jury.

A WIRE TO DAWSON CITY
The Canadian Government Proposes
to Build One.
1t Asks for the Cooperation of This
Country in Promoting Access
10 the Mines.

Telegraphic communication between this
country and the Klondke regtoS may be
es; ahlished before next August propo
sition to construct telegraph line 10
Daw sou City has been made by the
Canadian government To the Department of
State and referred by Secretary Sherman
10 Secretary Bliss of the Interior Depart
lnent for consideration by him.
While reserying the right to either coun-
try, pending the settlement OF the boundary
line retween Canada anu this country, the
people behind the scheme urge the ex-
pediency of building a permanent route
which will provide access TO the interior
at all seasons OF the year. The route
favored by the Canadians is from the head
OF winter navigation on the Lynn Canal.
which runs from juneau beyond Dyea and
Chilkat forming partof the present ronte, and
then to cross the mountains by White
Pass. or any other accessible pass, and
proceeding Dorth 10 Fort Selkirk, and from
there to the klondike.
In its proposition &c this Government,
the Canadian government declares 1t Is
ready to undertake T. open communication
by constructing telegraph line from the
head OF winter navigation on the Lynn
Canal, traversing a distance OF eighty
niles across the summit OF the mountain
range 10 q point northeast OF the NOUN
tain range, from which a trail can be
folio wed to Fort Selkirk and 10 KlOndike.
The Canadian government also signifies
its inten ton, in case the proposition is
ADOPTED, to erect places for shelter from
forty To fifty miles apart7along the line,
and keep up dog trains during the months
pf wiatcr for the conveyance Of mails TO
and from the interior.
In Communication TO Secretary Gage
regarding this proposition, the minister Of
the interior OF Canada says:
The object is net to induce any one to
go to that remote country at the present
time Unit: better means of oommunica-
ton are established man undertakes
serious risks III going there, unless he has
sufficient resources to tide over the long
winter. After September egress from the
country is practically impossible until the
following June, and a person who has not
bean successful in locating paying claim
has To depend for his subsistence upou
| finding employment. Wages are at times
abnormally high, but the labor market is
very narrow, and easily overstocked
1T is estimated that up TO the middle of
May 800 TO 500 persons had crossed
Dyea Pass this year. Several hundred
more will go by steamer up the Yukon.
Whether employment will be availa BILE for
all and for the considerable population
already in the district is somewhat doubt
full. IT will therefore he wise for those
who contemplate going TO the Yukon dis
trict 10 give serious consideration 20 the

The KIondike Situation.
the EdItor OF The Times

To Uhe Editor OF Tie Times.
As an american citizen let me thank you
for your editorial on 1.-The Klondike Out
rage" which should be read and pondered
10y every American who believes that this
country has any rights which England is
bound 10 respect. IL may jar upon the
delicate suscepubilities Of Anglo maniacs,
but il viii strike an answering chord in
tie breast OF every American in whose
veins flows the blood, or in whose heart
lives the memory, of the sires OF 10.
Nothing can be more CALLING TO the true
American than the utter neglect with
which our Government, while reaching
eagerly across the seas for a colony of
foreign lepeTs has permitted, without a
protest, British encroachment uT0n our
northern border, and allows the Canadian
government TO take undisputed possession
of an American Golconda, fill it with
military police, appropriate one half of the
gold fields TO its own uses, levy royalties
upon the legitimate owners for worKlng the
remainder, and enforce its Illegal and uu-
just edicts by an arbitrary system of con
fiscation and eviction.
Conceding even, FOR the sake of the argu-
Iuent, that the KIondike fields lie within
Canadian boundaries, such ARROGANT greed
Is scarcely in accordance with the Inter.
national comfy SO larped upon by Brit
ish journals when some powerful ma ton is
TO be ca oled out of some privilege or
favor, or cheated automatically out of
some right, and is but a poor requital for
the American liberality which has thrown
its I1iBcs open to the world, without royal
ties, reservations, or ejectments.
OF course, the Canadian policy is In fun
accord with the grasping tactics which
have made Great Britain the buccaneer of
the world, bat if there be in our Administers
ton enc spark of the An.erieanism Of
which it is the professed and much-be-
landed exponent, it behooves our officials
TO gently remind the English government
that Americans tDo matter how they may
be ground to earth beneath the heel OF
trusts and corporationsl still cherish some
memories of their former greatness, and
are not disposed to be subjected by Britain
to tie treatment she has melted out to the
irish serf, the Hindoo ryot, The Egyptian
feIleh, aud the benighted African. Let us
acknowledge no Canadian authority over
the Kiondke gold fields until the disputed
boundary question has been definitely de-
cidel against rs, and, even in that case, we
sisould still insist upon the enjoyment by
American miners of the same privileges
which have always been accorded by us to
the English But until then, let us assert
that .,McGregor's foot is Oh his native
heath" and maintain cur rights at any
hazard or sacrifice, regardless of the
poltroonery of AngioAmerican brokers. or
the patriotic opinion of an oyer-eostatic
American admiral that .'the nation which
wishes to 20 to war had best consult
| England first." M m

cHAReEs Nor EXCESSIVE.
Duties Paid by KloDdike Miners Are
According 10 Schedule.

Mfr. Charles F. F. Adam, first secretary
OF the British legation, has telegraphed
Secretary Sherman that the Canadian gov
ernmeDL does not exact exorbitant duties
on goods taken to Klondike. He says
the Canadian customs charges on miners
outfits for the Klondike gold fields ar
irving from Dyea, Alaska, and other points,
are those authorized by the ordinary rev.
enue law of Canada.
He saws no special or unusual regula
tons We're made for the occasion. On
The contrary, the instructions were 10 ex-
empt miners blankets, personal Clothing
in use and broken packages of provisions
being used: also cooking utensils in use
ITO make food allowance Clear Mr..
Adam said, instructions have been given
for the season to customs officials at
Tagish to exempt loo pounds OF food for
journey, charging ordinary customs duty
only on excess"
