There ought to be some way Of putting
a stop to the heartless trick which 5he
transportation companies to Alaska have
been playing since the gold excitement
began. There are now said to be ten
thousand people on the beach at Nome
with no possibility of getting work.
Last year and the year before the same
state of things occurred at other places
and there seems good reason to believe
that people were drawn to Alasak by re-
ports put forth by the transportation
companies, For much of the undesirable
immigration into this country the respon-
sibility may be traced to the steamship
companies controlling the transportation
between New York and Europe. When
bills restricting immigration have been
before Congress, some OF the stronges st
opposition to them has come from the
steamship companies. The Alaska com
panies appear to have the same business
methods.

Two bright, new seal windows have
been placed over the rotunda Of the State
House in Augusta. The State seal is ell
egantly reproduced in coIored glass, with
all it's insignia, including the husband
man leaning on his scythe. The aspect
OF this husbandman, with his passive,
quiescent attitude, will undoubtedly be
very pleasing to sojourners interested in
legislation this winter, as symbolical of
the state Of the farmers movement.

Whenever any one says gold" visions of
wealth at once charm the mind and cap
tiyate Judgment. Someone said gold"
about the Philippines, and their already
Inflated value increased a hundred-fold in
imagination. The gold Of California has
made that States fame shine the world
over, so we are a little surprised at the
statement now being printed in the
Maine papers to thu effect that the very
common and only ephemerally glittering
ice crop of Maine yields a larger annual
profit than has been averaged by the gold
mines of California in the last fifteen
years. The statement is very likely true,
however. Real wealth, like real virtue,
is often quiet and unassuming.

A story is going the rounds that the
late Rear Admiral Philip before he died
was offered the nomination for Vice
President on both the Republican and
Democratic tickets. 1t is said that Mr.
Platt made the offer for the Republicans
and that the Democratic offer came
through David B. Hill. Admiral Phil

mind, is said to have regarded the matter
as huge joke with which he would have
nothing to do. What pity that Admiral
Dewey did not have Q sense of humor!

personal loss. Whether he signs 1t or
not will depend on City Solicitor Vos-
burg's opinion on the legal aspects of
the case.
1t will be understood that the con.
troller has not certified the contract
because the ordinance providing for
the sale of the bonds to be used in
paying the city's share of the cost has
not yet passed councils. Mr.. Gibbons,
however, says that he is desirous of
starting work at once. to give immedi-
ate employment to a large number of
the Mt. Pleasant strikers who are de-
sirous of working on the sewer.
He offered yesterday to file a judg-
ment bond with the city treasurer for
the full amount of the -city's share, So
as to secure the city controller If that
official certified the contract. Assist
ant City Solicitor Davis was not so
sure that this would be entirely bind
ing and advised the controller to get
an opinion on the matter from Mr..
Vosburg, who was out of town a large

Travelling Free Libraries.

4 DISPATCH from Harrisburg
announces the organization
4 N of the Free Library commits
sion recently appointed by
Governor Stone under the act of 1899.
Sebator Magee is president, John
Tlfmsop treasurer, and DIR. Reed, the
stA Pc librarian, is secretary. Messl S.
Df6mson and Reed. in conjunction
with w. NJ. Stevenson, of the Ale
gheny Carnegie library, are to frame
regulations and select books for travel
ing libraries: while w. N. Frew of the
Allegheny Carnegie library, and Henry
Belin, jr, of this city, are to draft a
general library law calculated to de-
velop the intent and scope of the work
contemplated in the act creating the
commission.
Dr. Reed explains that for the pres
ent the travelling Libraries which are to
be instituted will be supported by the
voluntary contributions of benevolent
gentlemen in different parts of the
state, the hope being that in the near
future a reasonable appropriation may
be made by the state for the enlarge
ment and maintenance of the work.
"The plan" he says, will be to send
books in boxes, each containing from
80 to 100 volumes, directed to the care
of reputable taxpayers in sections OF
the state where Libraries do not exist,
1t is hoped that in the near future hun
dreds of these libraries will be placed
In circulation to the great good of peo-
pie residing in sections of the state re-
mote from centres of population and

1t would require comparatively small

Under the present army law there is
a chaplain for every army post, who
remains at the post whether the SOL

been that thousands Of soldiers sta

The army reorganization bill which has
passed the senate does away with this
antiquated system and assigns a chap
lain to every regiment, who is to go
wherever the regiment goes. The
change is certainly desirable.

Pay ing the Piper.

~ IOWA, as in Pennsylvania there
is a law which provides that the
Il dependents of a man addicted to
intoXication can recover from
the liquor dealer who sells to that man
any damage which can be proved to
have resulted from the sale. A case
is point has just been decided az
Sioux City.
Mrs. Louise Faivre sued John Man
dersched and John Arensdorf because
they sold her husband liquor which
caused him to become intoxicated. In
this condition he lay outdoors one
winter night and became so badly
frozen that amputation of a hand was
necessary. Mrs. Faivre has been
awarded $4,000 damages.
In morals this law is certainly
sound. Every other business man is
responsible i'm damages for the havoc
which his business creates. If a steam
railroad or street railway company
kills or mains a man through its negli-
gence it has to pay compensation. Why
not apply the same principle to the
traffic in intoXicants?

-
pany's purchase of con-
trolling interest in Long Island rail-
road One of the most interesting is
that the purchase is step in the real
ization of the late Austin Corbin's plan
to make Montauk Point the American
terminus of four-day transatlantic
line of steamers.
The Corbin plan was TO double track
the Long Island road and so improve
its facilities that passengers could be
carried from New York city to Mon
tauk Point in three hours. 1t was his
idea to construct a tunnel from the
Flatbush avenue station in Brooklyn
under East river to the foot of Cort-
land street and another tunnel from
Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, to Bowling
Green, thence under the North river
to the Pennsylvania station in Jersey
City. The establishment of steamship
piers at Montauk Point would do away
with the delays attending the steam
ship run from the easterly end Of
Long Island to Sandy Hook and
through the intricate channel to the
upper bay Mr.. Corbin figured that
by these means the time of the jour
ney from New York to Southampton
could be reduced almost to four days.
No confirmation of this rumor has
been obtained; but it is regarded as
an interesting fact that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company is largely in
terested in the American line OF
steamships controlled by the Interna-
tional Steamship company, whose
president, Mr. Griscom, is a Pennsyl-
vania company director.

IN our Streets.

Did it ever occur to you how

declare "It's no use talking"
which applied to his kind is cor

time of those about him-if they
will stsy-in arguing some point
on which he is densely ignorant.
Then three or four young "laver-
icks" get together and begin
"guying" one another and using
profane OF indecent language and
perhaps end up with an ungentle-
manly suffer.
How much better to spend the
time in reading the papers or some
good book, and discuss the sub
jects You have read. Mental rec
reation and diversion is absolutely
necessary, especially to the young,
but the appearances are that this
want OF our young men is unlikely
