The necessity for getting matters set
tied and territorial government in
running order in Alaska is immediate.
There will be in the next few months
thousand matters requiring the full
machinery courts and forts alike to
properly t., y ith them. There should
be additional military posts established
at once and surveys made for feasible
routes through the territory, besides the
hurrying to their destination of the food
supplies required. Philanthropic Amer
leans who have more money than they
know what to do with-sone Of those,
for instance, who spend 800, 900 on q
fancy ball-should see to the establish
ment in Alaska Of schools, hospitals and
churches without delay, even If to do SO
they must put off for few days the
trip to the Mediterranean ca their
private yacht to escape the rough winds
Of March. The American people and
their government must understand that
in Alaska and it's future we have what
is going to be the biggest thing we have
had to handle since the civil war.

American Manifest Destiny.

The Review Of Reviews has consider
able to say OH this subject. Treated i'll
the customary impartial, dispasslonate
way DR.. Shaw has of discussing things,
what he says on this subject bears due
weight. He calls attention to what ev-
cry American with any sense must be
aware of, the changed aspect Of the
United States with regard to foreign
nations in the last half century. The
isolation with which we began our ex-
istence cannot continue We must play
a part in matters pertaining to the coun
tries Of the western hemisphere, or in
time be bemmed in by encroachlng Eu-
ropeau powers and robbed of all the in
fluence we now have. DIR. Shaw re-
marks that we are all glad Jefferson
bought Louisiana and that Seward
bought Alaska, although both purchases
were fought at the time they were
made We have also lived to wish
that St. Thomas had been bought i'll ac-
cOrdance with General Grants fervent
desire.
Then the editor applies these re.ni-
niscences to the present Hawaiian ques-
tion:
The Pacific ocean is to be the theater Of great
events in the coming century. The next two
generations of Americans will insist upon play
ing large part in those events, i'll spite OF the
warnings of certain gentlemen now living VIII
shudder at policy Of expansion If we should
embrace the present opportunity to bring the
Hawaiian Islands under our flag, posterlty
would probably be thankful to us-precisely as
we are thankful to our forefathers for their
acquisitions. Hawaiian annexation is probably
to be regarded as step in the general policy
which will mean the ultimate construction and
control of all jsthmian waterway by the Unit
ed States, the gradual acquisition OF large
measure of influence in the West Indies, an
the firmest sort of neighborly alliance with
Canada to the north Of us and Mexico to the
youth.

lieutenant S. II Foote of the Fourth
United States artillery describes in his
prize essay his plan for raising an Amer
ican army in hurry in case we should
suddenly be attacked by foreign coun-
try. 1t is to be hoped such thing Will
never happen. 1t is sound policy to be
ready for such an event, however.
Americans must not forget how to
march and carry arms.
Lieutenant Foote's essay is published
in the army periodical with the name
Of "The Journal of the Military Service
Institution. - If it took a general as
long to give an order on the battlefield
as to pronounce tho name OF that mill
tary journal, there might indeed be
danger that forci1n army would come
on us unawares. For Notifications and
for armies in tho fold tho lieutenant
estimates that 400, 600 volunteers would
be needed, with from 20. 900 TO as. 900
officers. His idea Ia to have the plan Ut

Co-operative Real Estate.

III one way and another the example
set by the great corporations and trusts
is bearing fruit among the common peo-
pie of America, who are not slow to
learn things to their advantage. They
are finding out that if few rich men
can put their large means together into
capital sufficient to prosperously carry
on great and lucrative enterprises many
poor people can put together their small
means and thus form working capital
equal to the conducting of any business
successfully.
This is shown in the system Of CO.
operative real estate ownership now be-
coming popular III the largest cities.
Here real estate is so high in price that
no one man Of small means can hope to
possess any in his own right. But ne
may own one Of thousand shares in a
piece of real estate and draw proper
tionate percentage Of its earnings. In
yestment companies, fortunately usual
~ reliable, are organized for the pur-
chase of land and the building thereon
Of houses The person Of small means
buys so many shares in these companies
and receives generally to 6 per cent
interest or dividend on his money.
The incomes are derived from rents,
and if we'll managed all expenses can
be paid and dividend of 5 to 6 per
cent cleared for the investor. Thus if
one poor person cannot hope to own a
great hotel 100 poor persons can do sc
and get their share Of rent and profit.

The interior department has issued
new regulations regarding the cut
ting Of timber on public lands. The
old system Of permits has been done
away with, and instead the govern
ment will sell the timber to those
desiring it. Ranchmen and others
desiring timber for domestic purpo-
SOS will not be interfered with but
they are restricted in not being al
lowed to take more than 500 in
stumpage valuation in any one year.
It is not necessary for them to secure
permission to take this amount Of
timber.

The senate Tuesday passed the
committee amendment to the sundry
civil bill vacating the Cleveland
forest reserve orders. There was
quite spirited debate on the propo-
sition, in which Senators Pettigrew
and Chandler were the principal par
ticipants. The claim being made
that the amendment as prepared
would deprive President Mckinley
Of the right to re-establish reserves
if he so desired. Mr.. Pettigrew ac-
cepted an amendment to the amend
ment, stating that nothing in the
new provision should be 50 coln-
strled. In this form the amendment
pissed without opposition.

how many of those who are sympathet-

ed i'll his paper notice to the effect
that all the men in Grand Rapids who
wanted work could get it by applying at
his Office Eighty men answered the call
and stood waiting at the office next
morning. The editor slyly and instantly
telephoned to the city marshal to send
up carts and shovels When they ap
peared, the waiting men were told to go
to work and earn $l.25 that day shovel
ing snow off the streets. Of the so only
80 accepted the offer. The rest vanished
like satan in the Bible and We're seen
