SOMETHING OVERLOOKED.

There is one provision of the treaty
with Spain of which little notice has
been taken. 1t is that the United
States will. for the term of ten years
from the date Of the exchange OF the
notifications of the present treaty, ad
nit Spanish ships and merchandise to
the ports of the Philippine islands on
the same terms as ships and merchan-
disc of the United States" Up TO the
breaking out of the war Spain has
practically enjoyed a monopoly of the
trade to the Philippines. When that
was lost Spain asked that Spanish
products might be admitted for ten
years on the same terms as American
products. This valuable concession was
made by the United States. It is a
part of the consideration for the sur
render of the Philippines. The United
States is in honor bound to carry out
this agreement. 1t cannot without dis
grace get out of it by turning the Phil
ippines over to Aguinaldo and trusting
to him to admit Spanish on the same
terms as American goods. The United
States must carry out in person the
agreements it makes. The treaty
clearly contemplates the retention Of
the Philippines by the United States
for ten years and Spain was glad TO
secure exemption during that period
from all discriminating duties against
Spanish gOods.-Chicago Tribune.

PHRASES THAT STICK.

The flag of Nelson's old ship Victory
last Saturday in Portsmouth harbor,
On the anniversary Of the battle OF
Trafalgar, flew for the first time since
the great battle. England expects
every man viii do his duty" There
was an appropriateness in thus again
throwing Nelson's words to the breeze.
inasmuch as England is now at war
| Everything considered. however, it

| life than that exhibited by the contest
of a great empire with a country whose
population, all told. is less than that
Of any of the smaller European coun-
tries, such as Holland, Belgium. Nor

! But Nelson's phrase sticks. 1t occurs
/ at once to every patriotic Englishman
/ in every time of war or danger. Wheth-
/ er he knew it or not. in framing it, or
at least in signalling it to his fleet, he
made his fame all the more secure.

who is supposed to have uttered it
they persist in its use. It has been
denied, for instance. that Wellington at
Waterloo exclaimed. "Oh. for Butcher

/ it still seems to be a question whether

latest interview quotes the admiral as
saying in regard to this phrase:

never said anything OF the kind. Tho

part of the ship and 1 did not have the
chance to say it to him. There was no

than would ordinarily occur at such 4

THE NEWSPAPER HABIT.

The circulation of books in n certain
Connecticut library fell off over 5000
last year, and the librarian said it was
because popular interest in current
events was so great that newspapers
were read rather than books" It was
against this tendency that the Rev.
Dr. Greer spoke at the Episcopal con-
ference in Minneapolis. when he de-
prec2ted the newspaper habit" DR..
Greer's point is not well taken. IF the
American people perused fewer novels
and other books last year because they
were busy following the fresh-made
history Of the Spanish war. it is fact
for congratulation rather than for re
greet. 1t is a healthful sign that the
reading public tends more and more to
keep il close touch with public events.
The bane of the old style of education
was that it kept its students delving
in the history of the past, while hey
remained ignorant of the history that
was making before their eyes. There
is no longer such a thing as a great
man who does not read newspapers.
The newspaper habit is as necessary
for good and intelligent citizenship as
the eating habit" is for good health
In both cases the only thing TO avoid
is slothful consumption or gluttony,
with consequent Indigestion. The
only vicious newspaper habit is the
habit of dawdling over a paper with a
lazy and indiscriminating mind. Such
a habit is injurious and wasteful Of
time. but it is more likely to be con-
tracted in reading novels than in read
ing newspapers. As long as the mind
is alert and the judgment alive the
time spent in reading the news may be
made as profitable intellectually as
that spent in reading boOks.-Chicaso
Tribune.

Vice-President Hobart's serious i'll
ness has been anticipated by friends at
the national capital ever since the ad-
journment of congress. This was the
reason for the often repeated and as
often denied reports that his name
would not go before the next. national
republican convention. No vfce-presi-
dent in recent years has been so closely
in touch with the White House as Mr.
Hobart or was so sure of a renomina-
ton if he so desired or his health per-
mitted. The stories of plot to remove
him to make way for any other candi-
date never had any other basis than the
imagination of those who originated
them.

Sometimes a man in an official posi-
ton is required to think and use his
judgment. In the case of the city
council it is different. That body may
be capable of thinking but it does not
do it. The process is entirely unnec-
essary anyhow. Almost every tax
payer in the city has been thinking and
has arrived at a conclusion. All the
council is asked to do is to give these
conclusions public expression.

Yuma is all agog over a supposed
discovery of natural gas on the banks
of the Colorado. Deacon Devine of the
Sun. while waiting for proof, holds
strongly to the theory that it is a
reality, while Bro. Darlington of thu
Sentinel thinks the escaping gas in
stead OF possessing Illuminating quail
ties comes from a decaying cabbage
covered up by the sand. Thus DO the
opinions of scientific men differ.

state OF New York and the national
government will receive between $780,

Vanderbilt. Jay GouId's estate of s72,-
100000 brought $4,000 to his native

more such instances of it's application
will become as popular throughout

One or two parties had in con- temptation the construction of 8 water system here last spring, but, were confronted with this claim of ownership, whose hands were out for baksheesh.
 Piping is cheap, transporta- tion is cheap, labor is cheap, the pipe line short, the elevation just right, the supply ample and the cost of empounding basins slight. In the name of common sense why should not Wrangel have a faucet in every house?
 Soon the Government will give title to the town property. The measures of value of every indi- vidual lot will be estimated upon the basis of the things we have enumerated. There can be no SrOWCn without them, worse, It means decay. Wrangel cannot even remain at a standstill. In the midst of the present activi- ties it must move on or slump.
 The resources surrounding us will be developed. Ships will move in and out of Etolin Bay, freighted with men and merchan disc. If Wrangel cannot pre- sent a decent face, some other convenient place will do so, which forehanded enterprise will make suited to up-to-date re- quirements.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The Journal, fully impressed with the importance of Wrangel as a prospective mining centre, and of the great advantages to accrue to the business interests of the town by encouraging men to prospect in good faith, has es- tablished a mining feature to it's office.
 We will arrange to exhibit specimens of rock in one of our large office windows, and invite claim owners to leave their specimens with us for inspection by the public. We will receive such specimens upon the follow ing conditions only:
 The owner must state the name of the location; date and place of location; if assays are had, a copy of the assay, giving name of assayer; the amount of work done upon the claim; i41 short we want from each person leaving specimens, an open and honest statement of everything relating to the location which will give an intelligent conception of it. If the property is for sale we will try to sell it for a fair com mission. If capital is needed to aid in development, we will en. deavour to supply it.
 Our paper is growing in cir culation and influence and we will be pleased to give the widest circulation to it's mining depart ment. We hope the business men of the town will see the possible advantages to be deriv- ed from this effort, and that they will do what they can to create splendid exhibit for the infor- nation of those who will in the future visit us with view ot purchasing or developing mining property.

weird and coarse conceptions, involving the issues of life and death. With all it's grossness it is quantum suf. to fill their souls with ideals upon which their rude traditions stand from family to family, as one by one they melt into dust and their children's children following, walk the paths of life.
 The Chilcats and the Wrangels have been at war since the mem- ory of man runneth not to the contrary. They have killed and sought respisals, following the same instincts which prompt nations to foster jealousies and resentments and to rush into wars where many fall that some vain man may rise.
 They catalogue a long line of chiefs, running back 600 years, who have their individual his. tories, some good, some bad, some valorous and some craven. Following in long immemorial line of succession, Koo.esh, Yes Koch, Rock ki-Yeh, Kal-De- Ma Kla, ad libitum, down to our own Shakes and Katashan and Rood A.Wat.
 These greasy people are all on the toboggan fast pitching into oblivion. The crazy quilt of their stored traditions, twisted into worse riddles will be per petuated by some curious chron. icler who will plod through the bones of their defunct ancestry and put thousands of good peo. pie to sleep later on.
 August 10th, next, Klawan will witness all odd reconciliation. It will be a day of odd doings, worth seeing. The indians, in. spired with poor liquor, will do maudlin things and swap dogs, and offend the heavens with noisy, effusive demonstrations.
 Shakes is good name to re. conclle with and we hope the Chilcats or any other cats will "put it there old man" many times for many years to come, and will take something besides until the last mothers son of them, with toes pointed to the zenith, shall have mouldered in to dust and then is seen no more.
 We are sorry it is to be at KlaWan.

A tribal feud will end by agreement between the Wrangels and Chilcats, to be sealed and confirmed in perpetuity by a joint potlatch, to be held Aug ust 10th, next, at Klawan on the Chilcat river, for so states the Alaska Miner.
 For them grim visaged war has smoothed her wrinkled front. Now, are their bruised arms hung up for monuments, their stern alarms are changed to merry meetings.
 The gathering, it is estimated, will comprise 2OOO indians.
 Their tribe traditions run back to the year 1900. 600 years of remembered story, which counts the reign of many chiefs whose memories are enbalmed in a thousand associations. The vanity of storied achievement set forth in garish co1ors have swol- len the fancies of thousands who are dead and will burn with pale and iueffectua fires in the breasts of these simple children for whom for generations God had written no laws upon tables of stone, but, has traced them upon the tablets of their hearts. The heroic poetry of life fits the greasy children of barbarism as we'll as the knighted gentleman, garlanded with the victorious wreaths. The same exagger- ated fictions make small things great, as the narrative descends for generations from mouth to mouth. So long reiterated, with something lost and something added, until the original story is hazed with the mists which creep ing time is remorselessly push ing into the great mysteries of the past. Love and war form the springs of action. The rug ged bravery of the man, the ten der, clinging softness of the wo- man, fill the tissues of the fabric into which is woven the incidents bright with victories won or sombre with the shadows of defeat, as the historian through his mental eye perceives them.
 It would be difficult to draw from any of these people a lucid narrative that would not be phantastical and foolish, that would not shock our sensibilities. They too, would look askance at much of our records of long ago, with the same contempt. The value of a record depends upon the point of view. The religious or ethical notions of the siwash are mixed with very common clay, full of symbolical folly as most symbolisms are. The crude carvings and totems make a can ny counterfeit presentment of

SATURDAY. JAN. IA. 1899.

While the winter lasts, before the business activities of spring begin, our resident people should decide upon some concerted ac- tion looking to several import ant and necessary things involv- ing every condition upon which the future of Wrangel depends.
 First: A proper water system. It seems like irritating persiflage to recount why. As nobody has seen fit to take practical action upon it, it does appear neces- sary to give the reason, to wit: Upon grounds of decent sanita. tion, pure water to drink, and plenty of it to wash away the filth accumulations which breed pestilence; for cleanliness, that we may have clean houses, clean bodies, clean clothes and clean minds; for safety in the protec. tion of property, that the town itself may not be licked up by devouring flames and that goods and merchandise may not in- volve their owners in financial ruin, and that houses and chat ties may be insured at a living rate.
 Second: That brush facine should bulkhead the main street and the unwholesome pitfalls of the street be filled up that it may look seemly, that pedestrians may walk abroad in. safety, that vehicles may be able to do traffic, that decent sidewalks may run of uniform width along a straight curb so the house frontages will conform thereto, that water and gas, sewers and telephone poles and wires may be laid under. ground, that hydrants may be put up and lamp posts for light. ing.
 Third: A fire apparatus and hook and ladder carriage.
 Fourth: An electric light plant.
 We have enumerated these things and are as mad as wet hen to feel compelled to do so.
 Certain gentlemen have filed an appropriation of a number of inches of water, expressing all it's contents, from the most con- venlent and practically located stream, which, if intelligently diverted would supply, at small cost, wholesome water for drink ing and domestic uses; for tho extinguishment of fire and flush. ing the streets.
