THE ALASKA OUTRAGE.

1t is hard to make "a republican
believe thatethe American flag has
ever been hauled down from territory
where it Was once planted. They
forget about the Porcupine district
in Alaska. This strip, from which
the American flag has been hauled
down, and over which the British
flag has been hoisted, averages about
twenty miles in length. 1t contains
valuable gold mines and timber, and
its cession transfers not only these
but 1000 American miners to British
jurisdiction. Great Britain never dis
put.d -Russia's title to the strip, nor
did it dispute ours for twenty years
after the purchase of Alaska from
Russia. 1t discovered that it had a
claim only when it discovered that
the land was rich 10 gold and that
it wanted this and an Alaskan sea-
port. sag "a
Had England owned the strip she
would have gone to war rather than
abandon it. Yet What England would
sacrifice life and treasure to keep,
Mckinley gives away for nothing. In
the face Of the gift Of the Porcupine
district and the Hay Pauncefote
treaty, which by prohibiting us from
forlif.iug would give Great Britain
.conlrnl of the Nicaragua canal in
Time of war, it is idle for republican
speakers or anybody to deny the
existence OF a. secret Anglo American
alliance. II there were no such
alliance, Mckinley would be less gen.
erous TO England aud more just TO
his own country. The reason for the
alliance is to be found in the fact
that the administration and its party
want to keep the Philippines, and
the archipelago can be kept only by
highlands sufferance. In selling the
islands with the intention. Of retaining
them we have lost our independence
IA ndsbecome England's catspaw. og-

fair-sized audience at the court house
Tuesday evening: Mr. GLEN was i'll

was well received and heartily ap.
plauded by his hearers. His remarks
were devoted to an arraignment Of
the republican party FOL. its financial
policy. past and present, and the.
scoring the <. o. p. received at bis
bands for Juggling with the monetary
system3of the country in the interest
of the bankers and money trusts was
richly deserved and met with the
hearty approval of his auditors. He
also gave "a few remarks on the i'm

were heartily applauded throughout,
aud it IS to be regretted that Illness
prevented the honorable gentleman
from addressing at more length an
audience which was most highly
pleased with his utterances and fell
greatly disappointed, to, say the least,
in his inability to prolong his speech

A STRANGE CAREER.
King Carlo, the Educated Indian, Had
Many Ups and Downs.

King Carlo, the full-blooded ''Yoqui"
Indian Che calls it Yawkee), recently tried
here for felonious assault, has had a
strange history.
He was born in Mexico, educated in
Texas and Missouri, has tried Dracticing
law in the Oklahoma region, has lectured
about the Indians in various churches,
and has finally taken to the show bust
ness.
He says that his education has forced
him into his present mode of life. After
being educated he returned to the Indians,
to practice law, and they would not trust
him as a lawyer. They do not believe in
education for Indians, and no mode of
life suitable for an educated man is open
among the Indians for an educated IN
dian, and, as the White man has no faith
in an Indian. educated or uneducated,
there remains to them no mode of making
a LIVELIHOOD except exhibiting themselves
before the public or becoming bandits.
King Carlo says that many Indians COM
ing home with education, acquired
in the East or elsewhere, finding it impos-
soble to make a living in the ordinary
modes, gather few congenial spirits and
go on the road to rob every one they
can.
Among the educated Indians who have
given trouble he mentions Sitting Bull, as
{; man of marked attainments, saying
that he could speak seven languages.
Geronimo also is not an ignorant man.
Fid Starr, bandit recently before the
public. was of this same class of the In
dams. In the Wild West show here during
the Carnival Week, many had educa tons;
but they gave absolutely no evidence of
it. They never read and would not even
sign their names Unless he compelled
them to do SO.
This Indian evidently does: not believe
in education, for members of his race,
unless they desire to leave all their FORMER
