A DEPENDENT COLONY.

Senator Davis, of Minnesota, is of those who regard Alaska as depend . ant colony to be goverened by Congress without regard for conititutional limi- tations At his speech at the Hamil- ton Club banquet on August 29, Senator Davis said |,
 Congress iegislated at the last ses- sion in regard to the government of Alaska in some particulars entirely unwarranted by the constitution, of the disabling construction placed upon it by our opponents is correct. There are certain large aad general considera- tions, however, which, to my mind, demonstrates that the authority to gov ern these dependencies is vested in congress, subject to no disabling limi- tations of certain provisions of the con stitution which, because they are lnap> plicable to such a situation, never could have been designed by the fram- CTS to apply to it,"
 That the Supreme court of the Uni ted States has held that congress has no weight with many of the modern statesmen. But when those senators and representatives who have awake ened to the nature of Alaskan legisla- tion, are heard, the probabilities are that the majority of the nations law makers will be found to disagree with Senator Davis, Carter and the others.

Bresci, the slayer of King Humbert, was sentenced to life Imprisonment which is the most severe punishment prescribed for murder in Italy. It had been expected that the reaicide would bs tried for treason in which event the penalty would be death. The Crown attorney, however, decided that the only charge that would lie was murder and there was no inclination to do sught than that which conforms to the law notwithstanding the king was be- loved by the whole nation. The result speaks well for the strength of the Italian government. There is some- thing to challenge admiration in this instance of deliberate administration of justice.

ENCOURAGING PRosPECToRs

Mir. Stables, the Atlin mining man who was recently elected member of the British Columbia parliament from the Sassiar District of which Atlin is 8 part, has introduced a bill which amends the placer mining laws very much in favor of the miner. It may be too late to be of any utility in the At lin district itself, where probably every creek is located and staked over whether gold bearing or not, but there is still vast territory in British Columbia tributary to Skagway to which his new law would apply with great advantage to the prospector.
 There seems to be no doubt that the bill of MT. Stables will pass, and this increases the size of placer claim in British Columbia from one hundred to two hundred and fifty feet. This can be accepted as result of MT. Stables experience in Atlin, where it was practically proven that one-hundred foot claim did not give sufficient space for dumpage and proper working. Mir. Stables bill also doubles the size of the discoverers's claim and those with him, and the, bill also provides for the more practical stalking of claims and their proper recording.
 There does not appear as before stated, any reason why the bill should meet with any opposition; therefore, those about to locate on British Colum. bia placers might do well to wait, if possible, until the new law comes in fore, as it means difference in their claims of from one hundred to two hun dred and fifty feet.

That was nice little story Mir. Held told of bringing man from the western islands to be tried for misdemeanor at at cost of s60OO and probably served a purpose. However, it had no bearing on the question of territorial form of government. with territorial form of government there will be provided courts near the centers of population and the revenue now unjustly wrung out of the people as license taxes from those immediate points will more than bear the expense.

exceptional depression the organ industry
went through clear up to this year, labor has
b zen harder hit in Brattleboro than any
where else in the state. The places where
bankruptcies are thIckest are generally
where labor has had the steadiest employ
ment through the hard times.
There has always been some question
among publicists as to the advi,ability of
bankruptcy laws at all. But in the present
shape there can be no question that this is
most fruitful of democrat zstion and dead
beating. There can be nothing right about
law that permits a man, just because he
cho ,ses, to escape all his obligations. AT

vide for ca.es of real misfor une, upon the
consent OF ajority in number and
amount of his credi ors. y
The only thing to be said in favor of the
present law is its effect in sharply shutting
off credit. This is already seen in the
places where it has been used so extern
sively for deadbeating purposes. Mer'
chants will take no chances where they are
so helpless against cheating. On the
whole this may be a benefit to laboripg
men, but at times and in individual case,
1t is severe hardship .-Brattleboro Re-

Some Bankruptcy Figures and Their
Meaning.

E C. Brandenburg of the attorney gen.
erals office, who has general charge of
bankruptcy matters at Washington, makes
a report dwelling strongly on the notorious
abuses under the present law and the need
of some reform. While it operates I'M
ouestionably to relieve some persons who
are hopelessly involved, its effect in a large
number OF cas- IS is to enable dishonest or
improvident men to get rid of debts which
they ought to pay.
The figures in Vermont double and quad
ruple the emphasis OF what he says. He
reports the whole number OF petit ms
under the law in the countrg to have been
ND to October 1, 20,l28, or one for each
$3.50 of population. But in Vermont up
TO that time there had been $50, or one to
$50 OF population or more than SIX times
the states pro rata share. And the dispro-
norton is due wholly to the fact that In
parts of the state, especially st. Adams,
there has been an epidemic of deadbeating
through the law.
Franklin county alone contr lbuted l92
of these bankruptcies, 115 OF them in st.
AIbans; Caledonia county So, OF which 30
we're in St. Johrsbury; Washington IL,
and 40 of them in Barre and IL in Mont
heller; and Chittenden GA, mostly in Bur-
fipgton and Winooski. The other counties
except Windsor, II, and Orleans, from
which returns are not in, have had only
scattering cases ranging from three in Ben
nington to 20 in Rutland, of which Rut-
land city contributed only FIVE; Windham
had only 16, and Of these six only were
from Brettleboro and Of these only two Of

Mckinley Gained Over 100000.

There seems to be popular impression
that, although McKinley's electoral vote in
1900 was larger than in 1896, the popular
vote was not SO large. Such is not the
case. McKinley's plurality in 1900 wa
over 400, 900 larger thaa in 1896. WhiL d;f.
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1900-12-13

ferint estimates do not agree exactly, most
figures place the increase in plurality below
200, 900. The Boston Journal has done
some careful figuring with these results:
McKinley's popular vote in 1896, 7,104,-
779; in 1900, 1868 266; Bryan's vote in
1896, 6,5O2, 1925; in 1900, GALS, 1887; Nc
Kinley's plurality in S96,6ol, 1854 lin 1900,
S47, 1897.
The Outlook in carefully written edi-
torlal, however, takes more conservative
grounds and thinks McKinley's vote in
1900 was just about the same as in 1896.
The conclusion reached seems to depend
on whose figures are taken. The Outlook
says:
"As the official returns for the recent
election continue to come in, it becomes
more evident that relatively smaller vote
was polled this year than four years ago.
In most OF the southern states, and in some
of the uncontested northern states, such as
Maine and Oregon, there was positive de-
cline in the total vote, while in still others
that W re warmly contested, such as Ohio
and Illinois, the increase over the vote OF
four years ago was less than three per cent.
This increase, of course, was less tnan the
incr ease in the population. Take the conn
try over, the aggregate increase in the vote
was hardly 100000. Mr.. McKinley's vote
is almost exactly what it was in 1896. Mr.
Bryan's vote is trifl less than the aggre-
gate he received in 1896, though trfie
more than he then received on the demo-
era ic and fusion tickets. About one-hslf
Of the anti-fu ion popui,ts, who in 1896
voted for Bryan and Watson, cast their
votes this year for Barker and Donnel!y
We are Informed by one Of the leaders of
thi, wing Of the populist parry that many
of its supporters voted this year for Mr.
Mckinley, "not to indorse bis policies, but
to kill fusion" The prohibition vote, though
nearly double that polled in 1896, does not
seem to be quite as large as it was in 1892
The only party which made decided gains
was the socialist. The aggregate vote OF
the socialists this year was approximately
14O. 900, or just four times their vote in
1896. The entire increase, however, ha,
come through the newly organized social
democratic wing, which polled over 100, 00C
votes for Mr.. Debs, as against barely 80.

The United States supreme court has
decided that "Jim Grow" car laws are
constitutional. In other words it has de-
cided that negroes can be compelled by
state laws to ride in separate coaches. The
rule, however, applies only to local travel.
"Kentucky, for example, cannot compel a
black man to ride in "Jim Crow" car,
who has taken the train from point be-
yond the state, or who boards the train in
Kentucky for destination outside Of the
state. This ruling rests upon the exclusive
power OF federal authority over interstate
traffic."

The law passed by the last Legislature
raising the state school tax from five to
eight cent, is causing all sorts Of comment.
The smaller towns naturally like the idea,
while the larger ones call it confscation,
communism, socialism and other choice
terms. The Londonderry Sitter puts it in
thi, way: "By the provision OF this bill
three cents, in addition to that raised here
tofore, will be collected upon the taxable
property throughout the state and divided
among the towns upon the basis Of school
attendance. This gives the smaller towns
the advantage, they receiving, in the gen.
eral division, more than they pay in and
causes the larger or weather. town to wall
and kick, although its business cannot be
successfully assailed. As the larger towns
and centers, in a large measure, draw
much Of their support and greatness from
the state at large, IN fact sap the smaller
towns, it is only fair that they should Assist
in bearing the burdens of the poorer COM
munities, and it ought to be done man
fashion without kicking or snarling."
