PRICE OF IMPERIALISM.
"IThe Necessity of Continuing Large
OutIays" VIII BE Contin-
ued Indefinitely.

1t is generally admitted, the newa
reports tell US, that no general river
and harbor or public buildings bill will
sion. I'm view of the heavy expendi-
lures for the army and navy" it is
stated, land the necessity for continu-
ing large outlays indefinitely, the re-
publican leaders do not feel justified in
favoring internal expenditures that
can be deferred"
This announcement is Significantly
typical of the course to be followed by
the imperialist congress prepared to
ratify the presidents policy of militant
expansion in the eastern hemisphere.
tits logical beginning for imperialism.
1t may safely be taken for granted that
''the necessity for continuing large out
lays indefinitely" for the strengthening
of the army and navy will exist coinci-
dent and equal in duration to American
imperialism itself. The two evils-im-
perialism and militarism-cannot be
separated-the former creates the lat
ter, from which in turn it receives the
imperatively necessary support of the
strong hand.
Under these new conditions, what is
so natural as that republican leaders
do not feel justified in favoring internal
expenditures" Basing their demand
for the large outlay for army and navy
increase that must be ''continued in
definitely upon the national revenues
as at present in force, it is seen that for
the eincreased military expenditure there
must be a corresponding decrease of
expenses in some other direction. The
retrenchment will be made in internal
affairs-just as is the case with the
great powers of Europe, where every
thing is subordinated to the necessity of
maintaining big armies.
1t will be well for the people to un-
derstand why there will be no appro-
priations for river and harbor improve
ments. for the erection and mainte-
nance of public buildings and for other
internal betterments by the present
congress. If we are resolved upon be-
coming a world power, we must pay the
price of such power-pay it in money
and in American blood and in the ar
rested DEVELOPMENT of our country's
legitimate growth within its own con-
tinental limits. This necessity is as in
evitable under an imperialist policy as
that darkness shall follow daylight.
The price of imperialism will be high,
and the terms will be both "your money
and your life" Are the American peo-
pie willing to pay imperialism's price
and accept imperialism's terms?-St
Louis Republic.

4 Perfect Fleece.

Many persons interested in the nat
ural history of the sheep do not clear
ly understand what density OF the
fleece means. Wool, as it exists in the
fleece, is valued as to quantity and
quality. Quality depends on length
and closeness of the fbers. The lat
ter is the density of the fleece. This
depends on natural peculiarity, and
exists in a remarkable degree in cer-
tain breeds and in families of these.
Pure Spanish merino wool has about
5000 fibers on square inch of skin.
The finest and densest wool is on the
shoulders. a perfect fleece will be
even in fineness from the shoulder
70 the thigh, of nearly equal length
of staple on the back over on the
sides from the shoulder to the thigh,
and equal in density on the shoulder
and back from loin to loin. The
sheep is the most impressive of all the
domestic animals. The selection of
the father of the flock is thought so
important that experts are employed
to select rams.--N. Y. Press.

Fra. Evening schools in London.

Last year The London school board
began the experiment of free admis-
sion to the evening schools. The result,
now officially made known, strikingly
confirms the wisdom of the step, for
there was a vast increase IN schools and
scholars, the former numbering 321 and
the latter 5000. In other words, the
roll Of pupils nearly doubled.

The Court.

The May term of court is ended in Juneau and Judge Johnson and his staff will go to Skagway where the wheels of justice will again grind for a few weeks
 We think that Alaska has been for tunate in securing such excellent court officers. Judge Johnson certainly is one of the best judicial officers that graces the bench; Marshal Shoup can not be beat; Gen. Friedrich and his assistant are ss good as can he found anywhere, and clerk Elliott and his deputy are the right men for the place. The guards, jailers and deputy mar shals are all kind and obliging officers.
 Yes, we repeat, Alaska is fortunate in her judiciary.

nR. FRANK KANE DROWNED.
One of Our Citizens Loses Ills Life In Lake Linderman on the Evening of the Sth.
 Leaves a Wife and Children,

He came to Alaska some fifteen years ago and has resided here ever since. He leaves a wife and two children, aged four and five years.
 MT. F. M. James was at the lake at the time Mir. Kane lost his life. He wrote his wife an account of the sad occurrence and she has kindly consented to let us take the following extracts:
 This is a hard letter for me to write as l am all broke up this morning, for Frank Kane and another man were drowned in Lake Linderman last night. There were three of them in the canoe and one of them became frightened and upset the boat.
 T am sending out this morning to try and recover the body"
 The deceased had q large amount of money on his person in belt. Two of our citizens. Chas. Carlton and George Shotter, the latter his wife'S brother, left this city for Lake Lindermau last Friday. and every effort will be made to recover the body.
 Mir. Kane was very popular man and was we'll known all over Alaska. He owns large hotel and saloon build ing in this city, besides much other valuable property and is considered we'll fixed financially.

The Topeka.

The City of Topeka, Thompson cap tain, arrived yesterday from Seattle. She had large passenger list which in cluded some sixty round trip excur- sionists. It seemed quite natural to see Capt. Thompson on the bridge of the Topeka, for he has been with her long time. Billy Young is now chief steward on the Topeka and his passen- gers speak very highly of the table he sets. Mir. Jones the purser is new one on us. He is from Frisco and this is his first trip up. He will pan out all right. The Topeka sailed north last night. She will go to Sitka and the Muir glacier before she returns.

An Election.

Col r. D. Kelsey, of Juneau, was in the city last evening. He came over to attend the election of officers by com pany c of the Alaska National Guards. The Col. is getting these military or ganizations into fine shape. Gov. Brady has evidently got the right man at the head of the guards. Chas. A. Phelps was elected captain, NJ. J. O'COnnOr lst lieutenant, and Chas. F. Kuutson 2nd ] eutenant.

It Cost Him Five.

Mir W. s. Hawley, representing the Calumet Baking Powder was on the Island last week and became so much interested in our Fourth of July celebra- tion that he subscribed $500. The spirit of enthusiasm makes itself felt whenever a stranger even sets his foot on the Island.

Not Found.

The Flosie, Tibbets captain, pulled up to the wharf last night She was just down from Skagway and the Capt. reported to the News man that the lake had been dragged by a small steamboat to recover the body of Frank Kane, but without results, except that Mir Kaues coat was found and one of the pockets contained Mrs. Ross purse.

The Building Boom.

Many new buildings are going up in Douglas City and the town will look quite different at the end of the season. These improvements are all of a, good, substantial character and would do credit to any city. Douglas City is going ahead-it will finally be THE town of Alaska.

FRANK R. ROBERTSON.
A Talk With the Celebrated
Traveller and Lecturer.
Left Augusta, Friday Night, For a
Lecture Tour Through The South.
Norway is His Favorite county-Has Been
Travelling Tor IS Years.

The Augusta public has begun to look
upon Prof. F. X. Robertson. the lecturer.
as one of its permanent features, each
year, in the lecture line. and well it may
think so, when the fact is considered that
of the 81 lectures delivered in the State Of
Maine in the past three years by Prof.
Robertson 10 of them have been in the
city of Augusta. The professor, himself,
looks upon Augusta as one of t..e points
of the State where he may find true
friends, gained through his many visits
here.
The increase in the popularity of the
lectures by this gentleman can be seen
from the renewed interest that each visit
to this city makes, and the increased
number who attends the lectures. So
great has the Augusta public's interest in
the traveller become, that inquiries are
received on all sides concerning the
amount of travel that he has done. He is
in the eyes of his hearers marvel. Who
can enjoy his lectures with their truly
marvellous descriptions, which are aided
by the skilled operation of the stereopti-
con by Mr.. Hale. his assistant, without
wishing to know Mr.. Robertson and to see
if in conversation, he is as interesting as
he is in his lectures?
