 "fngland $ greed for gold has nstig- ated Canada to make prcpostcrous claims to our Alaska territory. These alleged claims are naterly untenable. and about as jusliliabla as England $ cruel war against the Bocrs. England always strikes wherever gold is found. The thirkers of the world know the reason why.
 "England wants a port of entry on Alaska soil for the reasons you mention and for ultcrior and moro hidden pur- poses. Under the guisc of temporary friendship she is now seeking to hypno- tize the wabbling Washington adminis- tratlOn to cede her Alaskan territory Why should we give up an inch of our land? Why should we eXnatrilte a slngle citizen who now lives on Alaska soil and under the American flag: If England wants an entry to the klon- dike let her build railroad on her own territory from Fort Simpson to Dawson City.

Mary had little lamb, that time has passed away. No lamb could follow up the pace our Mary sets to cay: for now she rides an air shod wheel, in skirts too short by half; no lambkin .shares her airy flight but you should see her calf. But who is there that can com plain or cry in woe. ''Alasn' So long as Mary's calf's all right the lamb can go to grass. So all the men delighted gaze, their joy is not sham, for while the other critter is out they have nc nsa for lamb.

The views of Captain Mein upon the
Boer government, which appear in an
other column are anything but favor
able to President Kruger and his peo-
pie. The same view is taken by the
majority of property holders in the
Transvaal. Those Uitlanders who have
Joined the Beers are not property hold
ers and are held in contempt both by
the Beers and their own countrymen.
There can be no doubt about the in
justice done to the Uitlanders by the
Boer government. The latter was quite
willing to make all the money it could
out of them, but was unwilling to give
them the slightest political right or
even to grant them municipal rights in
the city that the Uitlanders had built

GRAVE QUESTIONS.


The religious question is going to
cause some trouble in Porto Rico. The
Spanish system, like all European syc-
TENS, recognized a state church. Under
the American Constitution there can
be no state church. The disestablsh-
ment of the Roman Catholic Church IN
Porto Rico will not be because it is
Roman Catholic, but because the Con-
stitution cannot recognize any connec-
ton between ecclesiastical and state
affairs.
This will also affect the marriage
question: The laws of Porto Rico re-
fused to recognize civil marriage, an
ecclesiastical ceremony was a sine qua
non. In United States law the very
essence of marriage, as far as the State
is concerned is the civil contract, and
there is no obligation about a religious
ceremony which is at the option of the
contracting parties.
In dealing with Hawaii the United
States will have no such difficulties.
There has been no state church, people
have been free to marry in church or
by civil contract, as they pleased. In
fact Hawaii is thoroughly American
lied while Porto Rico has to be Ameri-
canized and it will take fifty years or
more to do it.

Their teachers must then be probably
aware that they have been absent. The
Commissioners OF Education authorize
the employment OF truant officers. How
comes IL then that one boy who has
been absent since September has
not been hunted up2 Either the
particular teacher in whose class
this boy was derelict In his or
her duty or the truant officers have not
been doing their work properly. At all
events there is ample opportunity for
the Minister of Education to make en-
quiry 1t seems a strange thing that
boys actually in school should be lost
in this manner.
1t is plain that these wharf rats
should not be returned to their schools.
Their example and conversation would
be apt to corrupt the other pupils.
These boys are probably backward in
their work, and their habits are GER
tainly not good Their teachers no
doubt were glad to be rid of them. But
it is the duty of the Territory to meet
conditions of this kind and to solve
them. In many places a special school
is opened for children of this character.
to the pale of the law, enabling them
The pupils may not have committed
any crime which would bring them in
to be sent to Reformatory, but yet
they are an undesirable element in the
public schools. Germany has solved the
problem by opening special schools in
various towns, and the idea is gradu-
ally expanding and being taken up else
where. 1t is evident that there is room
for a least one such institution here.
1t must, however, be conceded that
working boys of fourteen in prison
gang is not reformative measure.
There are better ways of dealing with
children and Furnishing them than this,
but the means must be provided and
the philanthropic ought to set their
minds upon the question of how to sup
ply the means.

COFFEE.

W. H. Crossman and Bro. in their
circular for November have an elabor-
ate argument showing that coffee
prices instead of advancing should be
receding. The main reasons for ad-
vance, according to these coffee experts
We're sentimental, not practical. The
first advance was in sympathy to an
advance in cotton. The report of bu-
bonic plague was the next cause, when
as fact there were only few sporadic
cases and no epidemic. Lastly an adj
vance was made because of a report
that the italian labor was leaving.
After the picking season many Italians
return home, but for hundreds that go,
thousands come as the circular shows.
The main object of the circular is to
show that this fictitious advance in the
price of coffee is sure to have a terrible
reaction in time. The low value of
coffee results from reproduction.
The recent unreasonable advance in
coffee stimulates production, the only
real help, says the circular, for genuine
better prices for coffee is diminished
production.
Coffee prices from Brazil do not affect
Hawaiian coffee apparently, but gen.
eral depression in the coffee market
would have its influence and seriously
hamper Hawaiian investors. The fut-
ure of coffee is by no means rosy. The
fault lies in Brazil, and is likely TO in
crease rather than decrease.

THE WHARF RATS.

Investigation shows that every one of
the eleven wharf rats sentenced to five
days Imprisonment yesterday had re-
ceived a common school education. The
Star made special investigation into the
matter, interviewing each boy. The re-
suit of the inquiry shows that the boys
have a thorough dislike to work in any
shape and would rather pick up a pre-
carious existence along the wharves,
than live at home and get employment.
One thing strikes the mind very for
chilly. Three of these boys are within
school age. They have been attending
school, and their names must be among
the list of names on the school rolls

Continued complaints come in about
the tram cars. A lady who travels on
the Kings street route says that she
complained to a driver about a China
man who was blowing his reeking to-
bacco smoke into the face of another
lady. a stranger. The driver replied
that the Chinaman was doing no harm.
If there had been any man on the car
that celestial would have either thrown
his cigar away, or would have been
thrown out with it. The incivility of
some of the drivers in atrocious. but
the more uncivil they are the better
they seem to be appreciated by the Off
GERS of the company. Such conduct
would not be tolerated in any city of
the United States. The trans are the
disgrace of the city.
