Announcement IS made that the vacations of many New Workers have been upset by the war. This is truly to be regretted, and adds much to the horrors of the situation. However, the New Workers are in a to blame. In the rush of events the coun- try overlooked the prospective vacations until too late. Had attention been called to it in time the United States could have sent apology to Spain and not spoiled the fun.

"Brick" Lewis Dead.

"Brick" Lewis, the jailor at Fort Wrangel, died Thanksgiving eve in that city. He is an old timer in Alaska and at one time was well fixed. His lower limbs were injured years ago, but with the aid of cane he could get about and attend to his duties. He seemed like nice, harmless, goodnatured old man and he had many friends in that city. He must have been about seven ty years of age and Judge Clark in forms us that his true name was Lewis w. Lewis. His demise was amost peace ful one. The soul took it's flight while those near by thought he was slumber- ing. If he had an enemy in Fort Wran- gel we never knew it.

A Pressing Need.

While Douglas City and Treadwell are doing very well and have no reason to complain, still, as thereligious ed itor would say: "One thing thou lack est".
 The path or trail between the cities is miserably poor excuse, and at times, when covered with snow for in stance, is almost dangerous to travel over. We understand start has been made in the past towards securing a good new walk and we hope the prof ect has not been abandoned.
 Nothing helps to facilitate trade so much as good walks and good roads, and those interested in the welfare of our city should bestir themselves in that direction.

Has q Streak of Misfortune. 1900 Feet of Tram
 way Destroyed.
 Tho Mellin Company has been put ting up twenty stamp mill at Berners Bay and the work had so far progress ed that the company intended to have the wheels turning by January first, but whether this wish will be realized or not will probably depend on the time it will take to repair the tramway, of which some 1900 feet were destroyed by snow slide week ago last Mon day morning. It is gravity tramway and on it's condition will the mill de pend for the ore it will use.
 The Mellin Company, we are inform ed, has high grade ore, we'll equipp- ed mill, and it seems too bad that this hard luck should strike it just at time when there was about to be some re- turn for the great expenditure of mon ey that the company has been put to in construction and tunnel work.

The outcome Of next Thursdays vote
on Senator Teller's resolution providing
that the bonds of the United States
may be paid in silver dollars, as amend
ed, will be awaited with interest and
anxiety by all friends of honest money.
Whatever law, based on the silver coin
age act Of 1878, Senator Teller and his
friends may have on their side, they are
certainly backed up by no precedent for
settling government debts bonded or
otherwise in deprecated currency, For
twenty years, under the administrations
of Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison
and Cleveland, no obligations of the
United States have been settled in any
thing but gold when gold was demand
ed by the creditor.
Honesty in this respect has hitherto
superseded technical right; and we do
not believe that congress will be will
ing to aid at this day in discrediting
the administration and preparing the
way for national disgrace and disaster
by formally upholding an unwise pro-
vision

The administration believes that the
Bureau of American Republics has been
and is doing good work in extending
our trade in the Latin-Ameriean coun-
tries; and that on that account it should
be continued. This is the quasi-govern-
mental organization concerning which
there has recently been adverse criti-
cism from various quarters. The bureau
has been criticized as a useless luxury,
which afforded no benefit to the United
States. This it is not, as the record Of
it's work and the results therefrom
abundantly prove But the great OBJ
lection has come from some trade paper
interests, which saw unfair competition
in it's monthly bulletins, distributed gra-
tuitousIy, which contained paid adver-
tisements.
Inasmuch as the bureau is not pri-
marily money-making concern like an
ordinary business, it seems plain that
this objection had no weight with the
president and the cabinet.

The operatives strike in various cot
ton manufacturing centres of New Eng
land bids fair to be long one. The OPP
eratives have good reasons to advance
for their attitude which results from the
lowering of the wage schedules; while
the mill managers on the other hand,
backed up by the stockholders, the
readily able to show that industrial con-
dtions, among which competition by
southern cotton mills figures prominent
ly, justify their action. The strike will
doubtless become more widely-extended
before one side or the other yields, or
before the manufacturers and employees
make mutual concessions. 1t is a matter
OF great importance to New England
that this industrial crisis be tided over
as speedily as possible. But present low
prices and large supplies of goods on
hand initiate against this hope.

The latest cable dispatches show that
the relations between England and Jap
an on the one hand and Russia, Ger
many and France on the other hand,
with regard to recent encroachments on
China, are more strained than ever.
Japan, a former encroacher, is getting
ready new battleships, and England,
France and Germany, all Of them en-
croachers, have sent more vessels to
eastern waters, or are about to do so.
1t is the evident intention of England
and Japan to defend their trade inter-
ests on the Chinese coast; and Just as
evidently Russia, Germany and France
are striving to cripple or even smut out
British commerce in that part of the
world, by virtue of seizing and holding
more Of the Chinese territory than Eng
land holds.
The bear is growing and the lion is
beginning to lash his tail, If not to roar
The former is endeavoring to forcibly
dissuade China from taking up the
British loan; while the latter is threat
ening that her treaty rights must and
shall be preserved. 1t may possibly be
in short, the prelude to long-predicted
partition Of China; for that is what the
trade interests and the missionary en-
terprises of the several interested Eu-
ropean powers seem likely eventually to
bring about.
See what 1t is for nation to be sbe-
hind the timesr' We're China only Gun

ploy her time just now otherwise than

far-extending realm. She might then

and how they would run from the mill

The great powers like small, weak ma
ton well enough, but they like a big
weak one much better,-there is SO
much more Of 1t to pass round for

The Long Island Railroad desires the
New York legislature to allow them to
operate a street surface line after its
present tracks have been put under
ground. This is part of a great rapid
transit plan, which it is said the rail-
road in question is ready to undertake.
The plan includes the building of a tun-
mel under the East river and a short
underground railroad, connecting with
the other lines Of the company and pro-
viding transportation from Forty-sec-
ond street through Brooklyn to Montauk
Point, the eastern extremity of Long
Island. The carrying out of such a
plan would largely revolutionize an i'm
portant part of the suburban traffic OF

While the appropriations wanted by
the committee of the state board Of
agriculture for continuing the valiant
fight Of the commonwealth against the
dreaded and obstinate gypsy moth
seem large to many, it is but just to
recognize the fact that this long drawn
out fight has really been most valuable
thus far for the agricultural interests of
the state. Dr. L. D. Howard, the ento-
mologist appointed by the United States
department of agriculture to investi-
gate the gypsy moth warfare in Massa-
chusetts, is of opinion that 'the exter-
mination of the insect is possible and
that it will be a question Of only few
years if adequate state appropriations
are continued"
Such an opinion from such source
is encouraging, and should not only re-
concile the rigid economists of the great
and general court to the moth expendi-
lures of the past, but should dispose
them favorably to fair expenditures in
the same direction the present year. 1t
islature should appropriate no more
money than the $75,00O proposed in Mr.
Benefits bill, when the boardNef agri-
culture wants more than double that
amount Should the moth pest increase
and extend it's ravages into Worcester
and the western counties through in
sufficient money to carry on the warfare
properly, whereas now the destructive
insects are contend in a limited area in
the eastern part of the state, the battle
would have to be begun all over again
at a ruinous cost avoidable by means
of wise appropriation at the present
time.
Money with which to fight the gypsy
moth is now far greater desideratum
than reckless sums spent on tubercu-
losis-exploring expeditions among the
cattle

In spite of the great resources of this
country, it appears to be fact beyond
dispute that the United States is today
fll-prepared for the contingency of a
war with another nation. Nobody but
the foolish optimists in congress and
those whom they influence, can deny it.
The matter has been brought forward
again, as heretofore, when there are ru-
mors of war with foreign lands.
General Miles has called the attention of
the house committee on military affairs
to the defenseless condition OF the ma
tional capital; and Theodore Roosevelt,
assistant secretary of the navy, has
pointed out the inferiority OF the arma-
ment on some of our ships in report
transmitted to congress by Secretary
Long. 1t is needless to say that the
criticisms made by General Miles and
MIR. Roosevelt represent the opinions of
American military and naval men in
general.
General Miles wants US to be prepared
for war, which comes with the sudden
HISS OI d HASH VI li5At4ilAiS3 cbil0 ilANo
fault with congress because for "the
past % years there has been no legisla-
ton that was of any benefit to the
army, and during that same period its
strength and efficiency has been cut one
half
Mr.. Roosevelt, again, says that the
guns of the San Francisco, the Balti-
more, the Boston, the Bennington, the
Concord and the Yorktown are inferior
to the newly-armed cruisers of Ger
many, Japan, England and France;
while the Olympia, the Marblehead and
one or two others alone are on a level
in fighting capacity with foreign ships.
Nevertheless, he also calls attention to
the fact that our first-class battleships
and the armored cruiser Brooklyn "are
as well armed as any ship of their types
in the world"
How much the government can afford
to spend at present for putting the navy
and the army, the coast and capital de-
fenses in proper shape for possible
war through improvements and addi-
tions, is another question.
