WELL DONE.

The Alaska Truth of last week takes up the provision of the amended Car ter bill, concerning the incorporation of towns and cities, and literally tears it to pieces; showing the defects and shortcomings in a manner that is ad- mirable. You are right Bro. Higgins and any man with an atom of brains can realize that you are. Restricted suffrage is not one of it's good features either. It seems that if Alaska is ever to get any legislation at all it will be of a kind that will be a stench in the nos triIs of all lovers of liberty and justice. In case the bill becomes a law, Alaska towns will be placed in much the same position as an ambitious dog firmly fastened by a short chain.

A FINE LECTURE.

The Douglas Literary Society held its last meeting before the summer va cation on last Thursday evening. The first part of the evenings entertain ment consisted of music and reel
 tations, and was well received and ap. plauded as it deserved. Then followed a lecture by Rev. H. H. Cole on the sub ject "Wendell Phillips, the peerless or ator of America" which was certainly a masterly production. We have heard it said that to make a man thoroughly good and great you should begin with his grandfathers; Rev. H. Cole probab- ly believes in this formula and began n his historical sketch of Phillips at the landing of his ancestors on Plymouth Rock. He carried his hearers rapidly through that period, spoke of the early boyhood and surprising ability of his subject, told of his meeting with Gar Fison, the great anti-slavery agitator, and the incidents and associations that led up to the mighty resolve "to stand firmly for the rights of the colored man," he spoke of the fervent, thrill ing orator that charmed even his most bitter enemies. He told the narrowing tale of the taunts and gibes aud misses that greeted some of his utterences; She bravery and devotion to principle Shat never swerved, but remained steadfast until finally the taunts be-
Douglas Island news., 1900-04-25

came cheers, the gibes became congrat- ulations and the hisses became praise.
 The patient devotion of Phillips to his invalid wife exampled another phase in the character of the man. After the abolition of slavery other reforms de- manded Che attention through all the remaining years of his life, MT. Coles perfect familiarity with the subject in hand, and his position as neighbor, friend and admirer, enabled him to re- late many anecdotes, illustrating the character of the man.
 We hope some day to hear this lec- ture repeated for the youth of our city that they may, as they gaze at the vivid word picture so aptly drawn, gain an insight into the passions and prayers, the violence aud vehemence which characterized the years immediately prior to the bloody battles of the civil war
 Have your old summer suit cleaned by steam process. It will then do you another year.

MHIsKEY AND INDIANS.

A visitor at one of our courts of justice" was heard to remark the other day, "Why, all the cases against the h. dians seem to be charges of drunken ness" And the visitor almost spoke the whole truth. The Indians of Alaska are, In the main, peaceabIy inclined. There are some few exceptions, however, as in the case of the Kakes and Chilkats, who are naturally very vicious and un- ruly. But nearly all others are quiet and unobtrusive, and seek to ape the white man to their betterment. This spirit of emulation is praiseworthy in itself and those of the natives who are becoming civilized and are casting off their old obnoxious practices are grad ually-we modify the statement pur- posely-being lifted up into a higher and nobler life. We should not expect this ignorant and degraded race of peo- ple to come out of their shell of de pravlty and stand on the level of those who have had the advantage of the up- lifting influences of civilization for centuries past. The old customs, the old habits, and the old practices will cling to them and their children for generations to come. The history of the English people cites a parallel which may not be far amiss. The in
 troduction of christian mode of life is without doubt the lever which will pry the people out of the rut of deg relation and depravity, but with it has come a power that tends to destroy all the influences of the former and hurl them back as a people and as individu- als into a deeper darkness than that from which they have just been raised. We speak of the evils of intoXication. 4 beverage that an American can drink with impunity will make bowling ma niac out of the Alaska Indian; he will froth at the mouth like a mad dog and is totally unaccountable for his actions. The best Indian in the whole tribe is no more safe to be at large when drunk, than the most vicious dog. The law provides that no one shall sell or give liquor to Indians, but it is done and the records of the courts are a fair in dex as to what extent. There are times when laws are not supported by the sentiment of the people, but every good citizen is in favor of the enforce ment of this one. If the natives are allowed to indulge at will in the use of intoxicants, Alaska will soon be no longer inhabitable for the whites. Whiskey may be good and Indians may be good, but they won't mix.
