He Purchases several Mining
Claims at Nome from Aliens.
G. ID. Lane, who made some heavy
mining investments in this vicinity Q
short time ago. is likely TO be made .
victim Of an amendment to the Alssks
bill introduced . few days ago BY Sens.
Tor Hsnsbrough. The object Of the
amendment is to prevent aliens from
locating mining claims in territory en-
braced in the possessions Of the United
States.
II seems that last year Mr.. Lane. in
company with Alvinza Hayward Of San
Francisco, purchased several mining
claims ct Cape Nome from aliens. who
either before or after making their filings
had made declaration Of their intention
to become citizens. Before these parties
could get their second papers. however,
the claims were jumped by American
citizens, and unless legislation can be
gotten through Congress making valid
the locations Of aliens who declare their
intention to become citizens, Messrs
Lane and Hayward will be minus q
large amount Of cash, without any re-
turn whatever for their investments.
ID is understood that these gentlemeu
have also purchased . large amount oil
expensive machinery for the develop
ment Of their properties. and that il ID
now on the way TO Nome.
10 would seem that the parties are
sure to loose. Is no good reason exists foI
granting any such right to an alien.
especially where the right comes into
conflict with that Of . bona fde Ameri-
can citizen.

Principal and Lady Teacher In
Austin Figure I'm . Scandal.
For some time past trouble has been
brewing at Austin over rumors which
have been sioat regarding the con-
duct Of Principal W. G. Gsyhart and
one Of the lady teachers, and on one
pretext or another 1t has been suggest
ed at various times recently that the
school be closed.
At q meeting of the Board Of Tfus-
tees held on the evening of March q,
a petition was presented asking that
an investigation be made into the
behavior of the two accused teachers.
After q thorough inquiry into the
matter the Board found that Mr..
Gayhart and the lady in question chad
acted very indiscreet in the school
house," and this fact, coupled with .
scarcity Of school funds. induced the
Board to close all departments of the
school on the last Friday in March.
This will leave q balance in the
treasury which will probably insure
the holding Of school without Interrupt
ton after the Summer vacation.

BOOKER I. WASHINGTON.

Whatever may be said of the
ultimate wisdom of the methods
advocated by this negro, any one
who has carefully followed his
life and teachings, and is candid
enough to render credit to hon
esty and earnestness Of purpose,
wherever found, must admit that
he deserves tho good will and the
thanks of the white people of the
South.
Beginning life in the humblest
possible sphere, his very nativity
marked by crime, having no
knowledge Of even SO much as the
name of his father, he has risen by
sheer force of inherent ability to
an honorable and influential posi-
ton. During his whole career he
has preached to his people the
abandonment of politics, the dig
nifty of labor and the supreme i'm
portance of cultlvating, by proper
conduct, the friendship and re-
spect of the dominant race.
Differing radically from Fred
Douglass, who was but a political
pet, an experiment at the expense
of the government, and, likewise,
totally unlike L. Thomas Fortune,
not one public utterance Of his could
ever be so construed as to make
for aught but the best interests of
both races.
Eschewing politics himself, he
has sought to bring others to his
way of thinking, and has inaug-
urated a crusade, which, regard
less of it's effect upon his own peo-
pie, as touching the fulfillment
of his hopes for them, can not
result in anything but good in its
effect upon the relations of the
races who are destined for all time
to occupy a common ground.

The Times has never adopted
the role of kicker, and dislikes
to feel that it is necessary to com
plain of anything within the range
of the duties of the municipal
authorities. There is one thing,
however, which has grown SO
fragrant as to demand the attention
Of those charged with The duty of
preserving the peace and order of
the town. We allude to the grow
ing nuisance of pistol firing within
the city limits. We are provoked
to the writing of these lines by
having just heard seven pistol
shots, within three blocks of the
corner of Broadway and Alexan-
der street. There is scarcely q
night in which we do not hear from
two to dozen shots, fred in diff
ferent parts of tho town. We re-
allze the difficulty incident to the
suppression Of such practices. but
that renders their suppression
none the less imperative. The
nuisance should be abated, even if
it should prove necessary to tenn
porarlly increase the police force
in order to accomplish it.

Britain would be in a bonfire from

afterwards pursuing another, and
espousing different sides of the
same proposition. All of which but
proves the greatness of the man.
He did what he thought was for
the best at the time, letting the
future and the past take care Of
themselves, and the bugaboo con-
sistency never vexed his busy
life, nor impaired the usefulness

ton to extend the Monroe doc
triDe to the Philippines the Times
has already expressed itself. AS
Mr.. Bryan says, this doctrine ''is
essential to the welfare of the
United States" Every consldera-
ton inducing its PRONUNCIATION
(which was really suggested by
Madison in a message to Congress
in 1911, four years prior to the
formation Of the Holy Alliance,
and twelve years before its en-
bodiment in concrete form by
Monroe) looked to the "welfare of
the United States" Its enuncl-
alton at all was prompted solely
by such considerations, and only
by such can it be justified. 1t is
essentially a selfish doctrine, and
self-protection moved alike presi-
dents Madison and Monroe in urg-
ing iG.
Since no questions involving the
possibility of an attack upon the
integrity Of the United States has
arisen, or can arise, in the far
East, we are utterly unable to
imagine the existence Of any con-
dition which could make such
an extension of this doctrine, as
Mr.. Bryan contemplates, in the
least degree .justifable. In fact
the very language itself, of the
message containing the declara-
ton, may he said to specifically
limit its application to this hemi-
sphere" Mr.. organs position is
untenable.

The press dispatches announce
victory for the "black party" In
Santiago province, at the recent
Cuban elections for constitutional
delegates. Ne are also told that
ten thousand colored men paraded
with badges bearing a skull and
cross-bones, and that mock fur
eraI of the Republican party was
held by one thousand coIored per-
sons. In consequence of which,
we are further informed that the
whites now openly declare them
selves annexationists. The Cuban
census gives the colored element
as constituting only As per cent.
of the population of this province,
and Al per cent of the total num-
Der of males of voting age. Of
the Cuban citizens, 81 per cent. OF
the whites and 70 per cent. of the
colored are illiterate. This little
election is of course merely an in
cident to mark the beginning of
the white Cuban's experience in
governing himself, where any
considerable per centage of the
population is colored. It indicates

Miss Mary Johnston has as
sumed position decidedly out Of
the ordinary among popular
writer's.
She declares emphatically thai
she will sell her productions tc
none but her first publishers,
Messrs. Houghton, Mlfflin & Co.
She takes the ground that as
these gentlemen brought her out,
and are to large extent response
bic tor her success, they are en-
titled to the product of her pen
for all time to come. She has
refused several tempting offers
from the publishers of various ten
cent periodicals, and some of the
critically inclined have taken her
to task for SO doing. They say
that she should not deprive of the
pleasure of reading after her those
people who largely constitute the
clientele of the cheap magazines.
many of whom are not able to IN
dulge in the thirty-five cent publ
cations of her firm.

Books and Magazines

In CHANGING over a copy OF the
Bookman we notice an outburst o.
righteous wrath over a question
propounded to that magazine.
The correspondent did not i've
in the South,-she hailed from
East River, Conn, and the ques-
ton was, "Who was Savonarola"
We do not blame the Bookman s
editor for declining to answer the
question. We often marvel at the
patience of those in charge OF
such departments of magazines
and papers, in answering the ride
ulous questions put to them. IN
these days of cheap encyclopedias
there is scant excuse for troubling
magazine editors with such quer-
les, -particularly when the inter-
rogator happens to live in Con-
necticutt.

While we are still on the sub
Ject, it may be worth while re-
marking that it is about time fol
another edition of the Encyclopedia
Britannica to begin disappearance.
The publication of this standard
authority was begun at Edinburgh
in 1768, and the first volume of
the last edition, the ninth, ap-
peared in 1875, being completed
thirteen years later.
The market is today flooded
with cheap reprints of this work,
Americanized editions, etc, many
of them selling at $25. The pur-
chasers of these, as soon as the
tenth edition of the genuine work
begins, will have lot of books on
hand that will be of but little value,
though of course not absolutely
worthless.
