THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Rights of Americans to Be Cared
For on both Sides of the Line.


For on Both Sides of the Line.
Seattle, Wash, Sept. 6.-The miners
of the Porcupine district, Alaska, have
received from Secretary of State Hay
definite assurances that ''this government
forgoes no part of its right and power
to protect it's citizens in the Porcupine
creek region, whether they be temporarily
within American or British jurisdiction,
in the full enjoyment of all rights and
privileges which they had before the
modus vivendi was concluded and to see
that their freedom Of access and exit
with their goods is not unrcasonably i'm
pedcd."
This announcement from Mr.. Hay is
the result of petition to President Nc.
Kinlcy from 40 American miners in the
Porcupine country, who complained Of
being brought within he territory and
under the laws of the Dominion of Can
ada ana especially protested against the
location of the boundary line along the
klehini river hy which American miners
were forced to enter British territory in
carrying supplies to- their camps
The reply of Secretary Hay discusses
the whole proposition at considerable
length. He assures the miners that the
modus vivendi is merely temporary
proposition to be abrogatCd without preju-
dice to either party when permanent
settlement of the boundary dispute is
decided upon, that in the meantime the
rights of all miners temporarily brought
within the Canadian control will be re-
| ligiously protected, and that miners de.
string to carry goods through the disputed
territory will be permitted to do so with.

NEGRO EXODUS.

The treatment which the negro is now
receiving at the hands of the white man
IN the South has set the more progress
siye and intelligent negroes to serious
thinking about their ultimate condition
in sections where they We're born, raised
and are now trying to live.
In Louisiana the riots and linchings
have seriously interfered with the cane
rrop. Italians accustomed to heat in
Italy were supposed to be able to cut the
cane and do such other laboring work as
was and is now done by negroes. The
trial has not been success. No one is
so successful in the cane brake as the
negro. He has begun to turn his atten-
tion to Hawaii where the sugar planters
have been suffering from ineffective
Chinese and Japanese laborers. We are
inclined to the notion that this step will
be good for the negroes and Louisiana as
well. The negro is better suited to agri-
culture than to any other form of labor,
although there are splendid examples Of
business thrift III other lines of Labor
and considerable inventive ability and
skill are shown by the patents taken out
by them.
The American Colonization City or
ganized in 1921 has not been as aggrcs
sive as it might have been. 1t ought tC
be revived if possible. Destitute neg
roes should not be landed there; and i
appears reasonable to suppose that thei
natural home is Africa. Perhaps Soutl
Africa to which many negroes are turn
ing their attention would welcome tn,
industrious negroes from America ant
guarantee them that civil liberty whicl
is now being taken from them unde
the sacred name Of the law. This form
of slavery cannot last always.
If the negro can find a land where hi
legal rights are respected there is wher
he will go. Perhaps the Southern whit
man will find that he himself will hav
to labor with his hands. The South need
among other things to learn the digniu

A REPuBLICAN PARAPHRASE

Union Republican leaders have done
all that can be done by men actuated
by party disloyalty, and an utter dis
regard Of the claims of others. Having
done this. there is no reason to believe
that they viii do more. They believe
in standing firmly and with smiling
faces ON an infamous record. If har-
mony is to come, let it come from those
who hitherto have refused harmony
because Of the rule or ruin inclinations
OF their leaders. Above all, the wise
man trusts only in the evidence Of
what has been. This is ex-
perience. The experience Of the
Republicans to date is, put not your
faith in an Addicks leader, but rely
upon honest effort.
This is a paraphrase OF an editorial
which appears in the Georgetown
Union Republican. 1t merely goes to
show how false words can be twisted
into true ones with but little effort.

WHAI ABouI REPRlSALS2

The mere fact that the Philadelphia
Commercial Museum furnishes mercan-
tile reports which interfere in a way
with the private business Of the Dun
and Bradstreet commercial agencies in
that particular city, is no valid reason
for Congress Withholding from the
museum the 100000 asked for;
neither does it justify our Board Of
Trade in arraying itself against the
commercial interests Of Philadelphia in
the private interest Of the Dun and
Bradstreet agencies.
The Commercial Museum of Phila-
delphia does many things beside fur
nishing reports regarding the financial
standing Of business men and houses.
That feature Of its work is a mere
bagatelle. It Is extending the trade Of
this section Of the East wherever such
extension is possible, and Wilmington
profits more or less by its work.
Besides, there are times when Della
ware. in the furtherance Of its own ap-
preparations, is only too glad to have
the support OF Pennsylvania members
Of Congress-, and the Board of Trade
of Wilmington usually is the body
which sends committee to Washing
ton to invoke that support There is
no good reason why it should permit
the Dun and Bradstreet commercial
agencies. or any other agencies, to lead
it to put itself on record against the

preparation in its entirety when such
an important work depends on its Sc
curement Philadelphia wants this
money; the museum needs It, and the

10 this appropriation, the time may
come when Delaware will ask for Penn

Rntagonism instead.
The Philadelphia Commercial Mu-

WINNING FIGHT AGAINST
CATAWISSA'S FLA MES

Bloomsbury. Pa, May 4-The rores,
fires in Columbia county are now al
most extinguished. This is because
OF the heroic efforts of the fire fight
ers and because most of the timber
from which they have fed has been
burned of. The Cattawissa mountains
have been almost completely burned,
and the charred hills throughout the
lower end of the county mark the path
of the flames. The destruction of
game birds has been enormous, and
the sportsmen fear that the coming
season will be poor one. Almost all
OF the hills in which the birds have
been in the habit of breeding have had
the timber burned away and the fire
coming 1 the breeding season has
made their destruction especially
heavy.
