TUE CAUSE oF NEGLECT.

|, Is becoming more and more evil den, ,ha, Alaskans should look closer A, home than Washington city for the cause Of the treatment Alaska has had at the hatds of congress for these many years. The authorities at the national capital have in the past been receiving their information from mis- sionary boards whose chief concern has been the welfare Of the Indians and a co,erie oi Sitka grabbers, chief among whom may be named Governor Bra Y and Sheldon Jackson. These men have a pcr,onal interest in main taining a siatu quo in the district. The progress and development Of Alaska as A habitation for white men, together with the ever attendant right Of self government in local aGairs, has not been looked upon with favor by them. Such were sure 10 prove disastrous 10 their ends. As long as the federal gov ernment acts upon the hypothesis that Alaska is an isolated region. whose pop ulation Is chiefly composed Of Indians, with a few Indian traders and itinerant prospectors, 50 long will these men have a snap as guardians for Uncle sam of the affairs Of AlasSans. No wonder they ], oled askauce at the Ju- neau convention and its dissemination oi knowledge They prefer the old condition Of afairs. They do not court with favor the departure Of the hIlcyon days when they could go to Washing ton and without molestation lobby Alrskan bills through congress carry ing appropriations for them to dis bursc. So long as they could keep con- gress engaged furnishing Jackson with money co buy reindeer for the poor h. diAns and furnishing work for Brady $ ,awmili a, Sitka, 50 long could the white people wait and 90 long were these men happy.
 X delegate 70 congress chosen by the white men Of Alaska Is about the last thing on earth that this pair want. He would surely be one Of the bright men Of affairs that are 90 numerous in Alas iha, line the Inside passage, and such a man could in no way serve their in- ;erests. because be would concern him self with the interests Of the white population.
 The burden of recent report oi Governor Brady was a recommenda- tion that the United States make an ap. propriation, Co be expended by the gov ernor, oi course. to defray The expenses Of a grand convention of al the Indians Of Alaska a; Sitka. Yet be condemns as unpatrio,ic the assembling at Juneau of a convention Of white men. In the mind of our governor an Alaska Indian is of more consequence than an Ameri- can citizen Ue would have the United States tax industry in Alaska and the money spent in holding Indian eouven- iions.
 He is an ardent endorser Of Jackson $ reindeer scheme. He thinks it the proper thing for the government to contribute many thousands oi dollars annually in buying reindeer for the h. dians, but ii would cost too much to maintain a delegate to congress.
 Is it any wonder that Alaska has never secured satisfactory legislation when such men as Brady and Jackson, of high official station, have been our spokesmen at the national capital

THE Kansas City Star observes that
"the return of Senator Stewart and
Senior Kyle to the Republican fold is
only another proof of the decadence of
Populism. The times are not favor
able to a propaganda of calamity. The
movement which wiped out, in one
year, Republican majority of more
than $4,000 in Kansas and convulsed
the politics of other western states has
reached high-water mark, and its ebb
may be expected to be as rapid as its
rise. 1t has cut more of figure than
most third parties, but it has had its
fling, and the wiser Populists are look
ing out for political Judgment in the
two old parties. 1t might not be amiss
for the Republicans to throw out a
picket line pretty soon to prevent Ben
Tillman and Jerry Simpson from
breaking in.

England's Possessions.

Interesting statistics in regard to the
increase in population, just compiled
by Sir Robert Clifton, show that Eng
land now has possessions on all five
continents, and that a quarter of the
population of the entire earth is sub
ject to her suzerainty. The extent of
territory owned by England amounts
to 13, OO0, 900 square miles, and OIL this
immense tract is population of 49,
100000. In the last twenty seven years
the English realm has increased by q
S54, 900 square miles, and within the
same period l25, OO0, 600 have been ad-
ded to the population. Since 1871 the
population Of the United Kingdom
England, Scotland and Ireland-has
increased from 32,OOO,OOO to 40 900, 900.
At the beginning of this century Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland had a pop
ulation of ii 900, 900, and France of &c.
100000, yet today the proportion Of
population in both countries is almost
alike. Russia has increased her pop
ulation by 10000, 900 since 1879, the re-
suit being that she has now a total pop
ulatiOn Of I3O,OOO,OOO. Germany had a
population of 2O,OOO,OOO at the begin
ming of this century; now she has be-
tween 50,O00,0O0 aud 60,OOO,OO0, of
whom almost u quarter is the result of
the increase of births over deaths.
Germany, too, is making vast strides
as a colonial power, and her population
in those distant possessions already
amounts to a big number.
