The War.

The reports of the war thus far have been d succession of American vIcto- rieS and our people are becoming i'm patient over it's lengthy duration, ap- parently demanding that peace negoti- ations should be entered into at the earliest opportunity. The demand that war should be declared against Spain was almost universal and the objects and aims that prompted the taking up of arms should not be so soon forgot ten It was the boast of the Americans that the cause that accustomed this declaration of war was one unlike that which has ever before determined d people to take up arms-that it was conflict to relieve suffering. oppressed. downtrodden and misgoycrHed people If this be true, there should be no tes- satiou of hostilitica until We shall have been successful in accom- rlishing the object in view and shall have relieved the people in whose behalf we so gen erously took up arms.
 We notice the opinion freely express ed that the Philipine islands should be held for an indemnity from Spain. Also that Porto Rica should be taken and held for the same purpose. \ meaner and more inhumau act on the part of government could not be pro posed. if we are possessed of human feelings and have entered into a con tlict to relieve humanity. what position will fl leave Us in to accept the aid of the Philipiue insurgents to conquer and hold the islands and then for few dollars lndemnity to return them into the hands of the murderous Spaniard to be thrown into prison and there to be finally starved and assassinated by the people that have misgovorned them for centuries. If this k q war to re lievc the oppressed, every colony that We can capture should be taken, and spanish rule made thing of the past ill Cuba. Porto Rica and the Philippines. Anything less will be blot on our civilization and stamp our pretended object for declaring war snbterfuge. sham and fraud. The war is on and should continue to finish It may cost d few dollars more, but We knew that a fight meant blood and money and We hope the administration will never let up until the people of the whole easth shall know that the United States entered upon this conflict for humanity's sake and that Spanish col- onial missrule must and will cease for ever.

Legislation For Alaska.

We are not having the benefit of an exchange of newspapers and are there for not so near in touch with what ac- ton Congress k taking with reference to legislation for Alaska, as somc of our brethren, but, Gov. Brady has been in Washington City for q considerable length of time in tine interests of the district, and We have every confidence in his ability to present our interests to the law makers in such manner Us to bring forth good fruit. We under stand that Congress has passed a crim- inal code, a civil and criminal practice act, and if passed as recommended by the committee, they will be found to meet all the demands for the present. We are further informed that there has becnan increase of judges which is cer- tainly much to be desired for the ex- pense of going to Sitka to try causes has been SD great that it has practically amounted to denial of justice Fort Wrangel will no doubt have a district court in the future, which IS much de sired and will be a great saving to our people. While Alaska has apparently been neglected by Congress, we must not forget that these matters, under favorable circumstances, move slowly, but in time the national legislature will be found to have done about the right thing. Gov. Brady is an old settler, man of brain and ability and in touch with the needs of the people and he can be relied on to do all in his power i'll ia vor of the people of whom he is the chief executive.
