Serious trouble in the interior of
Alaska is apprehended by the United
States government. Food riots are
feared at Fort Yukon and other up-riv-
er points, growing out of the failure
of the transportation companies to get
supplies in there on the prevailing low
water. Acting on instructions re-
ceived from Washington, Major-Gener-
al Merriam will quickly dispatch a bat
terry of artillery to st. Michael, the Of
ficer In charge haying orders to pro-
ceed up the Yukon river to Fort Yukon
and open military post for the COM
ing winter. The expedition will also
carry a large quantity of extra provis-
ions and supplies to relieve distress.
When st. Michaels is reached, the COM
manding officer will promptly levy on
any river boats he may find, seizing
them if necessary, and will transport
his troops and supplies to their desti-
nation with all possible dispatch. A
form of military government will be
established and good order maintained
in Alaska, even if it requires the serv-
ices of the soldiers and artillery.

Nobody viii wonder at the bitterness
OF Aguinaldo and his Philippine insur-
gents after reading the report made by
Consul Williams regarding the Spanish
methods of taxation in the Philippines
Secretary Gage, at President McKin-
ley's request, has drawn up tentative
plan Of taxation under American meth
DDS, and he calculates that under just
system the Philippines will pay an an
nual revenue of $3,OOO,OOO. Place this
side by side with the fact that Spain
has wrung an annual revenue of $2O,-
100000 from these islands, and there Is
no longer any cause to wonder at the
ferceness of the present revolt. The
wonder Is, rather, that the natives did
not rise up long ago en- masse. The
Spaniards have maintained one tax
collector for every forty inhabitants. A
poll tax of from So to $25 on every man,
and from $3.50 to $14 on every woman,
was assessed annually. Then every
thing inside and outside their huts was
taxed. A man was taxed for permis-
sion to plant his crops, and he was tax
ed for the privilege of picking even the
cocoanuts from the trees In his door
yard.

The st. Louis GlObe-Democrat pays
glowing tribute to the American vol
unteers, but every word of it's eulogy
is deserved. 'TEe military officers who
have come from abroad to witness the
operations Of the army and navy" says
the Globe-Denlocrat, "are more sur
prised by the volunteer system than
by anything else they see" They won
der at the confidence that we repose in
such plan for raising armies. 1t con-
trasts very strikingly with the con-
script system Of continental Europe.
In a few weeks our army of q, 900 men
has been raised to strength of 27O,-
600. And all Of these volunteers, not
man Of them being in the service
against his will. The foreign officer,
the Globe says, admits that
Gin numbers the volunteers are unde-
niably ample. But he doubts their
value for speedy service. He calls
them raw levies. The phrase in Amer
lea has a meaning different from that
attached to it in Europe. The Ameri-
can volunteer is fighter effective after
very short training. A hundred
years of history attest this fact" ALI
that is true, and there is equal truth
in much more that the Globe-Democrat
says in praise of our volunteers and in
noting their superiority over the Euro
pean conscripts. The American volun-
teer can be transformed from farmer,
mechanic, laborer, clerk, student, idler,
or any other Of the varied designations
of classes or callings, into an effective
fighter with comparatively little train
ing. For this reason, among others,
we do not need large standing army.
But some training is needed-is actu-
ally Indispensable. The militia or so
much Of it as would enable us to put
an army of 100000 to 100000 Of or
ganized, armed equipped, and discip-
lined men into the field-should re-
ceive the judicious and unremitting
care Of Congress. With such d reserve
we may safely dispense with a large
force of professional soldiers. The vol
unteers may always be relied upon to
defend the honor of the flag, but If
none of them are properly organized,
armed, equipped, and disciplined when
an emergency comes we shall have to
repeat our very expensive experience
and may have still more costly les
son.

Feminine fashion as an effective e1e

Feminine fashion as an effective ele-
ment in warfare is one of the unique
issues that have come to the front in
these history making days. The wom-
en- Of Washington, 1t seems, have re-
solved themselves into patriotic league
for the purpose Of inducing their fair
fashionable friends all over the country
not to buy French millinery. This belli-
cose boycott of the much-adored Paris
ian bonnet Is intended as International
retaliation, inasmuch as France assum-
ed friendly attitude toward Spain in
the present unpleasantness. 1t will
mean, say these self-sacrificing sisters,
an annual loss of $5O,OOO,OO to French
importers. But they-the women-love
their country more than the coveted
pieces of headgear, and SO this odd un-
dertaking of the fair patriots pro-
crosses with long list of prestiged
patrOnesses in the national capital. No
matter how this return charge of the
fair 400 may end, this is not the first
time feminine headgear has played a
part In history. Not only the big hat
has beena vexation to the modern thea
ter-goer and the inspirer of new munici.
pal laws for its suppression, but as far
back as 500 years ago 1t was constant
worry to the Misunderstanding sterner
sex. One conspicuous instance Ia the
