END OF CANADA's CLAIM.

Since the abrogation of the Clayton aulwer treaty and the new treaty between the United States and Great Britain for building the Nicaragua canal was pub liShed. the representatives of our govern ment in London have been busy denying that any concession was given to England for giving up her contention in regard 10 the treaty abroglted. which, although it is hgty wears old and was never of any practical value or force, England has all that time wiel1ing as a stuffed club.
 CanadilnS are particularly aStoniShed that England should release even such a faint shadow Of power to dictate to this country as the ClavtOn-Bulwer treaty was held to give her, and her newspapers are still publishing the statement that the prize Of EngIand's acceptance of the new treaty Is a DOT, on Lynn elnIl, Skagway preferred.
 Canada cannot understand how John Bull can have a real friendly feeling for Uncle Sam. and will insist that it is only a show Of friendship for diplomatic req sons Now thu, the boundary question is practically settled 50 far as Canada'S ab- suri demands are concerned, she may in time grow Co understand and appreciate that Englant can te a true friend to the United States despite the wishes Of her Sulky daughter.

ALASKA JUDGESHIP.

Alaska may possibly still be going bv the nickname of Stewards iee chest In the states. vet, nevertheless, whenever there is a political office vIcant in this what is called God-iOrSaken country. there are any number Of applicants Tor it. That Is the trouble just at present which Is de- laying the appointment Of Judge JohnsOn'S successor.
 The Oregon senators are pulling hard tor Judge Hunt. of Southern oregon; the Washington delegation Is wrangling about three candidates and cannot detide to give either one itS united support. The fore most Of these candidates is Judge Humes, the present mayor Of Seattle; and the other two candidates are Judge Wickersham, Of Tacoma, and x-COngreSsmln Hyde, Of Spokane, and from the latter may angels and ministers of grace defend us.' Sen ator Shoup Is backing Judge Stewart, who was connected with the miners trial at Wartner, and there are others, some or ihem from the middle west and some from the eastern states, but Alaska has ID ean- didlte.
 Attorney General Griggs states that the kind of man he desires to see appointed to the Alaska judgeship Is such man as Stephen ]. Field was when he mounted the judicial bench in California in the carly days. He may be holding the opin' ion tha, Southeastern Alaska Is in about the same wild. turbulent condition as was san FrlntiS;o in the days of 70. But fl the attorney geneill waits until he finds such a man as Stephen J. Field was to ac- cept the position, the iudgeship is likely 0 be vacant for some tune.

FROM GOV. CRAWFORD.
Republican Veteran DenOunces
the Philippine War.

Ex-Governor Samuel ]. Crawford of
Kansas, is quoted in an interview, pub
ished in the Washington Post, as being
opposed to the Philippine war. The in
tervieW follows:
81 stand today where I have stood from
the beginning, absolutely opposed to the
war in the Philippines" said Ex-Governor
Crawford. "In waging that war we have
departed from the principles on which
this republic was founded and denounce
it as cruel, unjust and unnecessary. Sup
pose we do suppress the rebels they
won't stay suppressed. What have We
gained to compensate for the loss of so
many brave young Americans not to
speak of the enormous expenditure of
money?
But no argument based on CONNER
cialism can stand for moment against
conscience, truth and right, all of which
are arrayed in opposition to this conflict.
Il sympathize fully in our chastisement
of the Spaniards. We did right to drive
pines, but how in the name of reason
could we acquire a just title to those
islands from Spain, the robber and tyr
ant? For heavens sake let us get away
from imperfaliStic methods and let us get
back to the old ideas and principles under
which, in the space of one century, We
have developed into the most Industrious
earth. We have a territory capable of
supporting untold millions of freemen. the
resources of which have scarcely been
touched. Let US go forward building up
this great republic, not by conquest and
