A pHILANTHRoPIc CONSPIRACY.

A PHILANTHROPIC CONSPIRACY.
Troy Messenger, March Is.
In several of it's recent issues the
Birmingham Age-Herald has contained
editorial articles charging that deep
laid conspiracy" has been concocted
by certain prominent school men of
Alabama manning Or. Eldridge. presi-
dent Of the State Normal College "to
defraud the people"
The matter is this:
There are yet about GOOD0 acres of pnblio
land in Alabama. 1t belongs to the United
states government, but instead of being
matter Of ploft, it is a sourre OF loss, owing
to the constant prosecution of lrespassers AID
Some time ago bill was introduced in
congress TO grant part of this public domain
TO the Girls Industrial School at Montevallo
and the NJ gro Normal School at Tuskegee.
Friends of ether schools. having in equity as
just claims RS these mentioned, asked for
similar fayors and Dr. Fldridye, in keeping
with his character as an earnest and Liberal
friend of education, proposed that the bill
should be SO amended as to donate the entire
area of public land in Alabama to the cause
of education, nearly one-half going TO the
common schools and the rest to the higher in
ettptions. In this way these institutions
VIII se efficiency is hampered end whose very
existence made precarious by the meag gre sup
port accorded them by the state, would acqur,
much more SIC re foundation; and the c0na-
mon schools be helped materially toward that
plane of independence, upon which the in
Creesina enlightment and public spirit of our
people demand they shall be placed
This is the whole story Of the conspiracy
ard the dee1-laid scheme to defraud the
people.
And how9
Are the people of Alabama defrauded when
the govS rnment OF the United States donates
them means for educating their children?
And do the public lands of Alabama belong to
the people of Alabama any more than they do
to the people Of California; They are the
property of the general government, arid II
the people OF Alabama can get them rs q
donation at all. whether to the common or the
higher schools, it is a great piece of good for
tune at which every friend OF education and
progress ought to rejoice.
IL the Age-H Herald wishes to make war upon
The Normal school. it should come out boldly
and do IL. Ali its talk about the "few against
the many" and the classes against the
1nasses,' Is the outworn war-cry of the dema-
gogue. It is talk that appeals only to ignor-
ance and prejudice. Every intelligent person
knows that professional schools for teachers
are an indispensable adjunct to the public
school system. Il there are more of these in
stifutions than the necessities Of the situation
demand let the number be decreased, but let

who are using every means to increase the

GOOD NEWS TOR FORT wRANGEL.
Ex-Governor Dewdney the Bearer of m Import ant Order from Premier Turner. orcn
 Up that Trall.

EX. Gov. Dewdncy, of Victoria, was u passenger on the Amur last Saturday for this place This WAS the second visit of the governor to Fort Wrangel, and better friend the city never had He k one of the most prominent men in British Colum biu and has held some Of the best offices. From lool to 1888 he was governor of the whole of the Northwest Territory. Regina WIS the capital, and it was within his iuriSdic- tion that the Reil rebellion occurred.
 He was minister of the interior of the Canadian government from 1888 to 1892 and from 1892 to 1897 held the position of lieutenant governor for British Co lumbia.
 Gov. Dewdney was found by the News man on the Troup wharf, and with his usual kindly manner he consented to talk for the benefit of the readers of this paper. After stating that he trip up was most pleasant one, and eX- pressing his confidence in Fort Wrai z el, he was asked by the writer what there was in the report that work was to be commenced at once on thc Lake Tcslin trail.
 MT Turner, tine premier and minis ter of finance, and also acting for.thc chief commissioner of lands and works, addressed to James Porter. the gold commissioner at Glcnora, an order to put on all men necessary to construct good trail between the river and Lake TcSlln. This action WAS taken on re ceipt of a petition fromsf ilenot7i, and l am the bearer of this order. There k no limit to the number of men that the gold commissioner may employ-he is to build the trail. and do it at once
 What about the railroad?n asked the News man.
 This order" the governor replied, was given while negotiations were still pending for the construction of the railway or wagon road, in order that the pack animals waiting at Glenola might lose no time in getting through" :"
 "When do you go to Glenora?"
 Il am going up on the Casca, either tonight or in the morning. 1 will re turn with her this trip and report to Mr. Turner as soon as can get back To Victoria. So far as the Cassiar Central road is concerned, the managers i'll this country are daily expecting a cable from London to go ahead with it's con struction."
 Gov Dewdney returned from Glenora today and left for the south on the Athenian, which was in port on his ar rival. While this trip is on the flying order, it certainly is most important one. This ended the interview but the News man will see the governor on his return, and for the time thanked and bade him good bye.

A Noted Visitor.

Mr. F. $. fIussey, of Victoria, super intendcnt of the Provincial police. was in the city last Sunday. lie went to Skaguay on the Atheniau and will re turn on the same boat. Mir llussey iS bright, keen officer and an agreeable and pleasant gentleman. He was scen by a News man and expressed himself as pleased with the appearance of our city.
 In reply to a question as to how he found police matters and the tnttte against crime, he stated everything ap- peared very satisfactory. \ few crimes are of course traceablc to the klondike travel but as rule the people going in are Il quiet, peaceable lot of men and cause us but little trouble.
 Why did the authorities abandon the idea of holding court in Glcnora, asked the News man.
 That was owing to defect in the jury law, and court will be held al Nanaimo very soon. It was the intcn- ton to try Courtmarch. the Glenora harter. and Hunter, but the former has escaped, so we will probably have only Hunter and Claus to try from this country. Hunter. you will remember, is the man who tried to wreck river boat near Glenora, and Claus is charg cd with murdering his two partners up the Stikeen last March,"
 Are many crimes committed now?n
 No; there is no epidemic in crime prevailing at this time"
 '.Supt. Hussey is considerably put out over the escape of Courtmarch. He would not say that that occasioned his trip up, but undoubtedly that was the cause.

THE DEES LAKE COUNTRY.
Thirteen Years a Resident There. Climate,
 Timber, Water and Game.

So much has been said of late con- rerniug the construction of the CaSsi;lr Genital Iaih Cad tlat We concluded 1t would tc interesting to our numerous readers to give some facts in relation to that country. With this object in view a reporter visited the mercantile establishment of Ncssrs. Reed & Syl vester of this city and soon found Mr. Sylvester WEO kindly consented to aid Us in eur endeavors to keep up the standard uf he News.
 Well what do you want to know?' said Mr. Sylvester after being comfort ably seated.
 Everything about the Dces lake conu try. when you went there, how long you remained. what you dId and such other information as you think will interest our readers
 Il went up to the Dees lake country in 1871 and came away i'll 1888. l had three trading posts and also run a pack train from Telegraph creek up. 1 bought furs, which was an important part of my business al that time. My first trip i'll was on the ice up the Stikeen. There is good trail up from Telegraph creek. The Canadian government keeps it in good repair. Ii was first made by a company and toll was charged to go over it. but the government finally bought the parties out and made the trail free. 1t is 72 miles from Telegraph creek to Dees lake and packing was done across for six cents pound. The grades are not heavy and railroad could be built across there without any unusual expense.
 .'!AS to climate. it gets awful cold up there and is waIm in the summer. There is not much timber, enough how ever. for mining purposes. The grass is plentifui and water in abundance.
 ''As to gold there has been d great deal taken out. The placer mining was very shallow. but not many new discoveries have been made for few years past to my knowledge There was gold there. as l said. and undoubt- edly there is some left, only the loca- tion has not been discovered.
 "As to game there is plenty of it, es. pecially cariboo which is more plenti- ful nov than it was when l went up. Fur animals grow scarcer every year and are pretty well trapped out
 The writer expressed some surprise over Mir. Sylvester staying so long up in that country and he in reply said it was good long while, but he had plen- y tO do all the time. He intends to make trip up there this summer, not as q matter of business, but pleasure. Mr. Sylvester is one of our very best and most enterprising citizens. He is much attached to Fort Wrangel and will probably remain here.

In previous issue We stated that Marshal Shoup had made no mistake in selecting Deputy Grant for this place. His work proves this. Last Sunday night George w.

The crime was committed at II o'clock, Deputy Grant was notified at ), and at [, he had the two men in jail and had also secured a complete confession. How is that for speedy work?
