Special to the Register.
KEYSER, w. Va, July 29.-Unless the
crusade against the canine family, which
is now being waged in Hampshire coun-
ty, is stopped, there will not be a dog
left in the county. For some time farm
ers have been losing sheep by the dogs,
which has worried them so much that
they have put poisoned meat in almost
every mans yard in the town of Romney,
and in many points throughout the coun-
ty. The result has been that dozens of
dogs are dying daily, and in some in
stances cattle have been killed by partak-
ing of the poisoned food. A number of
cats have also died from the meat. Eff
forts viii be made by officers to stop the
crusade.

With all the provision being made
for the building OF new ships for the
navy. no serious attempt Is being made
by congress to provide officers and men
for them. Notwithstanding the condition
pointed out in a tabulated statement
furnished by Secretary Long. From
this II appears that It would require not
less than ss7 officers, in addition to
those already on the active list. to give
a full complement TO the ships now In
commission. not to mention those which
could be placed in commission within
thirty days In case OF urgent need. This
leaves out OF consideration the officers
required for the ships now under con-
struction. and those which have been
or will be authorized when the pending
bin passes congress. II Is estimated that
not less than ten thousand enlisted men
in addition viii be needed for these YES
sells.
Every ship in the navy Is under
manned. from the European standpoint;
some OF them carry scarcely half the
complement OF European vessels Of Ike
size. The Kearsarge has only one-half

A bill has been introduced In the
senate which authorizes the president
to select from the retired list Of the
army an officer not above the rank of
brigadier general who may have dis
tnguished himself in the war with
Spain in command of separate army,
and to appoint him to be major general
on the retired list. The bill is In the
interest of Gen. Shafter, and while all
will agree that officer distinguished
himself, there may be some doubts If 1t
was in way to entitle him to the re-
tired pay Of major general.

mind that the nomination OF Mr. Bryan

These are the small echoes of the

There are in every community numbers

brief military training. Junior infantry
officers can be drawn from me same
splendid material. as the experience Of
the Spanish war has shown.
But the personnel of navy cannot
be improvised. There is no such avail
able material During that same war,
while large numbers of volunteer naval
officers were drawn from civil life, not
a single one OF them was entrusted with
duties on fighting ship, with the ex-

thus leaving available for the real fight
ing ships every trained and educated
officer. Yet the supply was so limited
that few vessels had their full compile
ment. although naval cadets were taken
from their studies in an endeavor to
supply the deficiency. That deficiency
Is far more serious at present than 1t
was at the commencement OF the Span
ish war. Not only are there many more
vessels in the service. and others to be
added within the next two or three
years. but there are actually fewer off,
GERS in the service than there were If
teen years ago. when the first work of
building UP a modern navy was begun,
and considerably fewer than there were
when the late war broke out.
The problem Is not one for the re-
mote future. 1t is an Immediately press
ing one. The deficiency. IL promptly
provided for, will take years to make
good. 1t Is imperatively necessary that
broader provision be made for the eou-
cation OF naval officers. so that gradu-
ates from the naval school can be had
in sufficient numbers to fill the exist
ing vacancies in the naval line; both
those which will occur In the near fu-
ture and those which ought to be Gre
ated by an enlargement of the naval
list. that the personnel might harmon
ize in some degree with the number OF
ships which 1t is expected to employ.
AT the best it would take from four TO
six years before the first Of the new
material could be available. and It
would probably take ten years before
all the line vacancies could be filed IL
the preliminary steps were taken at
once.

The census for Dawson and the whole
Klondike region. showing population
only about a quarter as great as there
was in that country a year OF so ago,
is good object lesson on the result OF
bad and oppressive laws and the short
sightedness of a policy which throws
heavy and uncomfortable burdens upon
the explorers and frst settlers Of any
new country. The Yukon portion of the
Northwest territory is a vast region. of
which the Klondike country is a rela-
lively Insignificant portion. No one
can tell how many other Klondikes II
may contain. But the trained band of
hardy Adventures and prospectors who
discovered and opened that region to
the world, and other men of that stamp
who are doing like work for the Amer
lean portion Of the Yukon country. have
learned their lesson, and will for the
future keep well on the American side
of the line. where there is no rapacious
government to 1.-THE their earnings, and
levy perpetual series of tributes of
every conceivable form, as is the case
in the Canadian territory. Neither will
a change In the Canadian laws dispel
this distrust. There were no such i'm
positions at the time the American
miners discovered and opened up the
Klondike region. They were imposed
only after those miners commenced to
reap some benefit for their daring ex-
plorations. and from the hardships and
toll with which they developed the min
eral wealth Of the Canadian territory.
They will fight shy Of a country where
such injustice might be duplicated.
The experiences of Dawson are at
once an object lesson and q warning to
congress in dealing with Alaska. Every
care should be had In leglslating for
that country to encourage the prospect
ors and settlers, to tighten their bur-
dens and protect their rights to aid in
rendering the country accessible. and
particularly to guard the interests of
the Individual miner against comblna-
tons OF capital. The rush to Alaska IL
not a mere temporary matter. There
are known resources to support for all
time to come large population. In
the future Alaska will add enormously
to the wealth Of the nation: in the past
II has borne and II Is still bearing more
than its share of the burdens OF fed
eral taxation. and 1t is receiving less in
return than It il. in strict justice. en-
titled to. Aside from considerations OF
Justice, sound policy dictates the most
liberal treatment for Alaska. and the
enactment of legislation that will pro-
mote its development and protect the
interests of its people.

Tacoma newspapers should get over
the chiidishness that does as much as
anything else to convey the impression
that the place where such things can
be published must be a village. The
Ledger yesterday printed story to the
effect that some mortars now being
transported to the government fortihca-
tons were carried to Tacoma because
there were no facilities for handling
them ut Seattle. As an article In our
local column shows, they were taken
there because a Tacoma firm secured
the contract. The Stiffness OF the other
story appears from the official state
ment that mortars twice as heavy as
these have been handled here, and one
rife heavier than any four Of them.
Even II the fake had been the truth.
Tacoma would only advertise her weak
ness by cackling over It, To invent 1t
hrst and cackle over 1t afterwards is
like the hen that makes a lot Of fuss
