POLITICAL IDEALS.


are drifting away from our political
ideale. A nation like an individual
should have ideals. which they should
ever keep before them.
A celebrate philosopher of antiquity
has said, "Some good man muet be
singled out and kept ever before our
eyes that we may live as il he were
looking on, do everything as il be could
see it,"
The people must have lofty standards
and must not abandon or surrender
them in this critical hour OF our coun
try's history.
When We consent TO place in the
highest Office in our gift, unworthy men.
we lower our ideals. We not only sully
the national honor but degrade our
selves. The plea Of party necessity
will not save our conscience.
George William Curtis 10 his eloquent
address on James Russell Lowell says.
Our marvellous material development
and the swift advancement OF civiliza-
ton 10 the Western World is not the
picture OF national greatness, il is only
the glittering frame. Intellectual ex-
cellence, noble character, public pro
bity, lofty ideals. art, literature. honest
politics, righteous laws, conscientious
labor. public spirit. social justice. the
stern seIf-criticising patriotism which
fosters only what is worthy Of an en-
lightened people. not what lie unworthy
-such qualities and achievements, and
such alone, measure the greatness OF a
state, and those who illustrat- them are
great citizens. They are the men
whose lives are glorious service. and
whose memories are benediction."
To be q senator of the United States.
TO be one Of ninty persons picked out OF
seventy five million of people is to hold
one of the most exalted offices in the
gift of the nation.
A senator Of the United States stands
next to the president OF the United
States in position. prestige and power.
1t is greater than Cabinet position.
The men we should elect to the
senate THE winter should be statesmen,
men versed in political and govern
mental affairs. men of wide learning
and experience in public matters. More
than all they should be men of high
character and unquestioned probity.
Their loyalty to the political principles
they espouse should be above criticism
and beyond suspicion. We all recall
the celebrated 7th OF March speech of
Daniel Webster when he surrendered
his party and his country to the slave
power. Hear what Wendell Phillips
says Of this act OF treachery and dis
loyalty:
Rarely in the course OF human events
is it given to single man to hold in
his hands the destinies of a great
and mighty people. He stood like the
Hebrew prophet of old between the
living and the dead. He had but to
uphold the common truth and honesty.
and the black 6ishonor Of two hundred
years would have been effaced forever.
He bowed his vsssal head to the tempt
alton Of lucre and the flesh. He cast
himself into the lap OF the Delilah Of
slavery. not for "mees IT pottsge'' but

Attorney Day last night received let ter from Walter Church, his partner, dat cd Nome, January 5. Mr. Church also en- closed letters to Mrs. Church and others. The whole of his letter to his law partner seems to be of the most enthusiastic tenor, and shows that he regards that district as no short lived placer scramble, but as large and rich mining region that will build up In population from year to year as the development progresses; In fact, he mentions several large enterprises, notably a railroad, that could uot be planned for immediate returns.
 The parts of the letter Attorney Day permits to be published are as follows:
 After stating that he Is doing lot Of big business, Mr. Church writes; "lt was no mistake to come when we did, unless the mistake was in not coming sooner But 'all's well that ends we'll

MAY BE A BIG DEAL.
Railroad and 0. D. Co. Said To Have
 Amalgamated.

Travellers arriving yesterday from the south brought the report tha; the White Pass & Yukon railroad and the Canadian Development company have amalgamated. Nothing eouoborrtive of the report was heard. but 1t comes through men of affairs who gathered the rumor In British Coum- bia before their ship left there few days ago.
 The Canadian Development Company has one of the largest fl not the largest and most elegant line of steamers between Ben. nett and Dawson. It was reported last year that the railroad and the Develop ment company were on exceptionally close terms.

special to the Post-lntelllgeneer.

Washington. March 6-The nomination by the president of Melville C. Brown as United States judge for Alaska, today, was great surprise to all members of the Pa cfic coast. Only one or two had heard of his candidacy. Senator Foster and Repre- sentatlves Jones and Cushman were of the opinion that no appointment would be made until the Alaska bill passed, but Judge Johnson who presented his reslgna- tion some time ago. insisted that he be re- lleved without delay.
 Judge Brown has been a praetieing at' tonev at Laramie, Wyo., for the past twenty five years, and is nearly 6o years of age. lt is sild he was supported by Senator Warren, of his own state but not by Senator Clark. He was a candidate against Clark at the last session of the Montana legislature.
 Perhaps the most powerful influence brought to bear In Judge Browns behalf came from New York. Judge Dillon, of New York City, famous attorney in so many railroad reorganization matters, wrote a strong letter to the president in support of Judge Brown, whom he had known In Wyoming as an attorney for the Union Pacific when Judge Dillon was It's chief counsel in New York. He has also tu relatives Tn California who hold prom lnent positions on the Southern Pacific system.
 II the pending bill for the creation Of three iudgeships in Alaska Is passed. the Washington delegation hopes to secure the appointment of Judge Wlckersham, of Ia coma, to one of the additional iudgeships.

NEW FRESHMAN CLASS.
Many Pupils Taking Technical
Courses at Delaware College.

Courses at Delaware College.
An interesting fact about the new
freshman class at Delaware College is
that it includes a larger proportion Of
students in the agricultural aud engiu.
eering courses than any other previous
class, has numbered.
Of twenty-five freshmen, nineteen
have entered in the courses indicated.
Hitherto the Latin scientific course has
usually Included from 80 to 80 per cent.
Of the students The popularity OF this
course doubtless ls due to the fact that il
Is regarded as the easiest pathway to the
professions OF law and medicine. The
change this year is doubtless partly acct
dental, but also in part because Of a
wider acquaintance throughout the State
with what Delaware College has to offer
in its technical courses.
There is no desire on the part of the
authorities to make the college a mere
technical school, and fortunately its en-
dowment is designed to foster as well in.
structlon in other Shan technical
branches, but the larger pSrt OF the in.
come is now spent in providing for the
technical courses, and there is still much
room for growth here, as the teaching
force and the mechanical equipment are
amply sufficient for considerably larger
classes.
Meanwhile the work of the college in
its other courses was never in q healthier
state. There is growing interest in
language work throughout the student
body, and there seems to be a hopeful
movement among the better equipped
public schools to prepare students to
meet the proposed higher entrance re-
quiIemenJ in the languages.
Another hopeful sign is the diapoition
OF formeg students to return to finish I'm.
completed courses, OF to prosecute gradu.
ate work. Although in such college the
teaching energy must be in the main de.
voted to the instruction of undergradu.
ates, there is the utmost readiness on
the part Of t faculty to find time fol
graduate work.
The presence OF graduate students is
ielt by the faculty to be helpful to tho
Zone Of the student body. Former stud
enls and others OF mature years who be
lieve that they may be able to profit by
what the college has to offer in gradual,
work will do we'll to address the presi
dent Tor further information on thi
head.
