"THE COURAGE OF HIS DEpR4VITY"

We are not sure but that DR.. Parkhurst is in
adVertently just a trifle unjust to Mr.. Croker.
He tells US that he always used to give the LAT
Ter credit for having the courage of his Ge-
praVlty. Now, however, he thinks that Mr.
Croker, by pretending 10 be virtuous, has re-
signed his last claim 10 admiration and has
SHOWN himself 10 be as much of q potr)on rs
he is OF knaye.' In that characterization of
the Tammany leader Or. Parkhurst has the best
possible intentions. and he gives US at least ore
phrase which We think will endure And VET
as we nave said il is possible that he does Mr.
Croker some slight injustice, and that of the
very kind he would least willingly be guilty of.
The courage Of his depravity" That was
the one item 10 Richard Croker's credit and
DR. Parkhurst thinks II is now forfeited. II

The courage Of his depravity" What is II

spirit of Tammany. for effrontery is the only
courage 1t knows. But since. that passes Win
1t for courage let the word stand. There can
be no greater courage of that type than that
which is manifested in this latest output, IN
which incarnate Tammany substantially pro-

o.. ,a +ba+ moreover instead Of following
+ho rindinps of the coast 1t should run boldly
across from headland to headland Inc erect
of this would be to give the actual coast III
some places to Canada to cut the panhandle
osrnder and TO reduce our Southern Alaskan
possessions to some detached fragments OF
coast and chain of outlying islands. The
United States stood, and resouteiy stanos' OF
course. for the maintenance OF the old line
under what II regards as the plain provisions of
the treaty
That was the stumbling block which baked
the earlier deliberations Of the Commission. 1t
is said that the United States Commissioners IN
a fit of excessive generosity suggested the ieas-
ing to Canada for long term OF years. OF a tract
of land cutting the panhandle into TWO parts
and coming down to tidewater, thus giving
Canada a seaport on Lynn Canal at the ex-
pense Of the integrity and contnulty OF Alaskan
territory. This most self-sacrlhclng suggesuon
was. however, declined by the Canadians. who
insisted upon practical cession Of the territory
in question. There is, we imagine. no possibility
of its ever being renewed by the United States.
With its rejection by Canada negotiations prac-
tically came to an end. The next step was the
withdrawal of the question from the Commits
sion by the British and American Govern
ments and the establishment OF temporary
modus vvendi, which Is still In force. Under
the latter the boundary is in the main kept on
the old Russian line For little distance. how
ever it is made to follow what seems to be
such q mountain ridge as the treaty prescribes.
and there it accordingly recedes little from the
thirty mile line 1t is still, however, many miles
inland from the coast and from the head of
tidewater in all arms and inlets Of the sea, and
maintains the perfect integrity of our coast line.
Moreover. such recession is not fnal but merely
a temporary arrangement. There has not actu-
ally been REIMBURSEMENT of a single inch of
United States territory.
Such is the status of the case to-day. The
Joint High Commission will have nothing to do
with the Alaska boundary. Its duty Is to settle
the other questions at issue. When it has done
that the Brit n and American Governments will
doubtless to up the Alaska boundary question
by itself and bring it to a final and equitable
settlement.

Most Of the milk which is sold In New
York is of fair quality. At least ii is not nox-
ious because the Health Department has given
much attention to the milk supply as 1t comes
over the railroads and the ferries to Manhattan
Island and by the wagons in various quarters
~ the town. But effort is on foot to obtain
a higher grade OF purity and to keep out the
dirt which may, not be deadly. but is certainly
disagreeable. One supremely conscientious and
scrupulous sanitarian takes the view that the
farmers ought to give their cows thorough baths
inst before milking time This suggestion ap-
pears to be slightly extreme. Milk would soar
