AN ALASKAN POLICE.

1t is reported from Chicago that the
United States Government will organize
in Alaska this summer a police force for
the purpose of protecting American inter-
ests and American miners in the gold
regions OF that country. The report is
said to te based upon information given
by men who are closely related to Secre-
tary Gage, and may, therefore, be re-
garded as resting upon reliable authority.
1t is certainly time that the United
States Government should establish a
police force in the Alaskan gold district
The Canadians have long had such a force
on their side of the line, with the result
that ali lawless and desperate characters
have been run out of the Canadian min
ing dis tricts and now constitute d serious
menace to Americans. 1t is, moreover,
asserted by American miners that the
Canadian authorities have exceeded their
Jurisdiction and have not infrequently
imposed onerous burdens on Americans.
1t will be RENE NJ bered that last fall
American residents of Alaska petitioned
Congress for permission to elect a Delegate
from Alaska to the House of Representa-
tives. The petition stated that Territory
has many interests of which Congress is
ignorant or to which the mem bers are in
different, and therefore the Territory
urgently needs Representative in
the Government at Washington. That
this petition was well founded is beyond
question, and it is to be hoped that the
present Congress will Civ, it favorable
consideration.
With Representative in Congress and
with an efficient United States police to
protect the interests of American miners
and N erchants Alaska would rapidly ad.
vance. both in wealth and population. 1t
is now well known that the Territory is
by no means so barren and worthless as
was at one time supposed. 1t has MANY
natural resources, and has the possibilities
of becoming an important secti on of the
Union. 1t certainly merits every assist
ance which the Government can give.
The establishment of an adequate police
will be long step in the right direction,
and it is gratifying to learn that the Nc
Ktnley administration intends to take
that step with commendable promptness

THE KENTUCKY sENAT0RsHIP.

The Senatorial election in Kentucky has
ceased to be interesting to the people. 1t
has reached the point where il no longer
amuses as a farce and it fatigues indigna-
tion when considered seriously. 1t has
passed through q dozen different stages,
each succeeding one of which has been
more disgraceful than its predecessor, and
point has now been reached where the
best thing that can be done would be for
the present Legislature to abandon the at
tempt to elect a Senator and leave the
question to be decided by the people when
a new set OF legislators are chosen.
Bad as the condition of affairs is in
Kentucky, it is not worse than in some
other States. Indeed, the Senatorial con-
test in Oregon was even worse, if there
can be any degree of badness in such
cases. The Kentucky Legislature has
managed to transact some business, even
though it cannot elect a Senator, while
the Oregon Legislature did not even sue
ceed in organizing itself, and transacted
no business whatever.
1t has become evident that in many
parts of the Union the existing ma
chlnery for the election of Senators has
broken down. 1t has been several years
since there was full Senate. At each
succeeding election one or more States has
failed to elect Senator, and has there
fore had but a partial representation In
that body. This condition of affairs is by
no means confined to the West. Della
ware, in the East. has been as bad as Ore
gon or Kentucky, and the means by
which her legislators managed to break
the deadlock is by no means creditable
either TO them or TO the man whom they
elected.
The one consoling feature Of these evils
is that they tend to emphasize the need of
revision of the constitution so far as it
affects the election of Senators. Il has
long been subject of complaint that the
Senate has ceased to be representative of
the people. 1t is a matter of common
scandal that Senatorial elections have
been largely determined either Dy bribery
or by systems of log-rolling which are
hardly better. This being the condition
of affairs, there will be com paratively
little regret over the evidences given that
the present system OF electing Senators is
as ineffective as it is som etimes vicious.
At the time when the constitution was
adopted, the election of Senators by State
legislatures was founded upon good and
sufficient reasons based upon conditions
then existing. Those conditions have
long since passed away, and there is,
therefore, no longer any reason why
Senators should not now be chosen by the
votes of the people. The present dead
locks will add strength TO the movement
for bringing about this reform, and to that
extent the conflict in Kentucky with ali
its accompanying scandals may be ac-
counted on the whole as a public benefit.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY.

The announcement that there has been
organized In England an association
known as the British Anti-German League
Is another evidence of the growing antag-
on ism OF the people of the two countries.
This antagonlsm is not merely one of sem
timent. 1t is the outcome of rivalries in
business and colonial expansion in South
Africa, and does not lack for cause to ir-
ritate it and aggravate it into a serious
menace to the continuance Of peace be-
tween the two empires.
The tone OF the German press toward
England has long been bitterly hostile,
and the remarkable letter which Kaiser
William sent to President Kruger at the
time OF the Transvaal raid shows that the
German newspapers reflect pretty clearly
the sentiment of the governing powers
Ever since the publication of that letter
there has been more or less indign alton
among the English people and ample ev-
idence has been given of Willingness to
hight Germany on the slightest proyoca-
ton.
The development of a German colony in
South Africa is thorn in the flesh of the
British people. who have been seeking to
build up new emp pire in that continent.
They have seen in the German Sc title ment
the most formidable obstacle in the way
OF the realization of the dream of a South
African colony hardly inferior in wealth
and population to the mighty colonies of
Australia and Canada. Germany in South
Africa allied with the TransvaaI is an
enemy whom even Great Britain hesitates
to attack, and this colony therefore, as
mnch as the Emperor's letter 10 President
Kruger, is a source of incessant irritation.
Another cause of rivalry is the rapid ex-
pansion of German commerce in countries
where Britain had once almost a monop-
oily. German trade in South America and
the Orient is rapidly increasing, while
that OF Great Britain remains comp para
lively stationary. A thorough protective
system has built up manufacturing in
dustry in Germany superior to that of
England in many things and hardly in
terror in any, while system of liberal
subsidies on exported goods has enabled
her merchants and prod ucers to drive the
English out of many of the worlds mar
kets.
This condition of affairs rasps the Eng.
iish in their tenderest spot. 1t affects
their trade, their industry, all along the
line, and taken in connection with the
resentment aroused by tie Emperors
speech and the hostility OF the German
press affords an easy explanation of the
organization OF the Anti German League.
