THE LIMITING OF IMMIGRATION.

In another month congress will be fairly in session, and being the long session" of that body, it will doubt net terminate until the beginning of next 1; summer. Congress will have many important prob lems to solve two of which will be the building of the proposed Nicaraguan canal and the passage of an immigration restriction bill which will deal effectively with the subject. few years ago, in 1891, think "a bill dealing with the question was prepared by John G. Carlisle then secretary of the treasury but which failed of passage at the time solely because congress was SO taken up with the wrangle the atarif bill that other subjects overlooked.
 The bill as prepared did no more than to include { among the classes of immigrants already barred ' by the exclusion laws all persons who may be re- garded as enemies of organized society. The bill made no attempt to define what is meant by an , anarchist, what teachings are incucated by the creed of auarchy but provided that evidence that immigrant asking admission iuto the United States had belonged to foreign anarchisc society had been rated by the police of the country from which he anarchist suspect, was to be considered sufficient to justify bis detention and deportation,

unless he could clear himself by controvcrting testi mony.
 Political refugees political offenders, other than anarchists exempted from the operations of the b and, furthermore it secured to any person charged with being anarchist the right of appealing e the courts for writ of habeas corpus, thus obtaining fair hearing upon any accusations that might be brought against him. The measure amply preserved all the liberty to which a man is rightly entitled and in way eonfcted with our political ideas
 There has long been demand and necessity for
 better system of restricting undesirable immigration than that which now obtains At almost every session oi Congress some measure of the kind is brought forward The Carlisle bill covers inn portant phase of the bjcct and it would there can be obj ieetion to the passage of that measure. even if nothing more were undertaken. The time, however, has come for radical treatment of the whole evil Our country is rapidly being filled up with people from all parts of the world where civil liberty and law arc not understood, where. through long agcs have been taught to believe that every evil is the result of bad government, and where parents habtualy teach their children that rulers are despots. Some means of limiting that immigration must be provided, shall always hc in danger of political assassnations.

THE SCHOOL BOARDS ACTIONS.

Whatever the two remaining members of the school board think in the premises, it 10 us that they kind of explanation to the people, from whom they hold their positions.
 At the threshold of Arctic winter the board have let contract for the building of school house, the contract price, it is alleged being $96OO. So far any knows, the two members of the school board asked for bids for its erecton there : public competition of any kind. The work of letting the contract seems 10 have been kept carefully concealed as possible, In fact the actions of the gentlemen who unfortunately constitute the school board seem to have been yelled much circum- stances would permit or cxpediency allow.
 Astonishment is expressed at the statement made that tho contract for the school building was based upon bid made last April Or May. This bid was then accepted, told. but the complications growing out of the clash between the school board and the council arising from difference to what constituted the respective powers of oach coupled with the financial depression in Nome and the un- certainty of the summer season, prevented the boards plans from being put into execution. But with the reappearance of snug in the school fund.- it being portion of the amount accruing to the school board and city council from United States licenses paid to the clerk of the district court, and
 decision of the district court defining the powers Of the school board came also the revival of the school building project. An old bid unearthed and when the original bid had been pared down from >S1fS60 to $96o0 it was accepted If the orig gina1 bidder had left the country in the meantime, what a harsh condition would have confronted this astute school board Is it possible they would have awaited !his return, would they have advertised for the next lowest bidder to come forth and show himself |?
 On the face of the whole proposition there is something strange; dark places which should be made light We do not see for instance, why a bid for which contract had ever been signed should be resureced from its quescent and mouldy state to 'besspractcally remodeled into tender. Why were not new bids called for? Lumber of nearly every kind is cheaper now than six months ago. and labor is not so dear. Besides under exist ing conditions, with temporary school buildings already provided for, deom 1t illadvised to build school house at the present time. It seems to savor too much of a reckless determination to spend what ever money may be in sight general principles
 It is matter of regret that there many men in Alaska, who should they be entrusted with the mana cement of public affairs, forthwith plunge into reckless extravaganza and foolish prodgiality because they get their hands public funds. They follow methods which they would not think for q moment of applying to their private business enterprises.
 But here must again revert to first principles. The people themselves to blame, for did they evnce more interest in public and matters pub { lie affairs would be much more crcumspectlv con- l. ducted.

The fall elections in the States Probably the greatest interest centered in New York City, where mayor to be elected. The republican candidate Seth Low, president of Columbia University, who also the candidate of the anti Tammany democrats. The regular democrat nominee was Edward F. Shepard, of Brooklyn, formerly a bitter foe of Tammany. The result of the election is interesting as doubtless it will have strong bearing on the presidential contest in 1901. Low is strong, ceau man, but SC is Shepard, and lively fight was no doubt put up. Next in interest was the cam paign in Ohio, but in all human probability Gov ernor Nash reelected.

Lent Them to Friend to Dance ill
 and Has Not Seen Them Since.
 Mrs I. R Baldwin keeps q boarding house at HI North Main street, and to help her in the work thereof em ploys two young women. The latter are not exactly strangers in the city, yet they are not very we'll known, and for convenience. therefore they may be called Helen French and Maude Banks. Helen halls from Bridgeport, that city famous flor it's lack of parks, hence the name. Park city. Helen has not been long in the city: Maude has been. Fortune was fickle ill her favors toward the young women. To Helen she was to an extent prodigal: she was very unfair to Maude. and therein is the rub. A dance was given in Waterville last Saturday evening, and Maude made up her mind to go there because her best fellow had asked her. But she lacked the neces- sary wherewithal to go, a nice dress, and all that should go with nice dress, hat, bodice, shoes, etc. She knew Helen had all these nice things and, moreover. they'd fit her just as nice as you please. Maude was just
 
 was only one avenue by which she could go, borrow Helen's nice dress, | bodice and things. So she asked and well. everybody knows what is given to those who ask. The good book tells that. And away to the gay dance sped Maude, and her best fellow and those who were there say she danced every figure on the program. She was expected home late that night, but she has not returned since. and Helen is just breaking her heart over her missing nice dress, hat and bodice, for she does not know when she will want them for the same purpose for which she gave them to Maude. This morn 1 ing she wearied waiting for Maude to return. and she complained to the au- thorities, consequently the sleuth of the local police force may depart on her shoeprints, or rather Helen's shoe prints, at any moment.
 Mrs Baldwin says it was all mis- take. and. of course, she ought to know. She said Maude was going somewhere last Saturday evening and | Helen having just the nice things that would make her look ever so pretty. she borrowed them and-"WeI,'' said Helen, forgivingly, tits all right, and Maude is all right. too.

Chiffon yelling in white, black and
vivid tints is extensively used for hat
trimming.
Pearl gray and fawn colors are OK
pected to be leaders in fall tints in
millinery.
A boa Of Partisan design is made Of
white chiffon roses, with green cen
tres, heavily spangled with strass.
For early fall wear 1t is predicted
that plumes will be extensively worn
colors, black, white, beige, castor coral,
pearl gray, ciel and maize.
Many of the summer frocks arc with.
out chokers. In such cases the bodice
is generally finished by deep collar
of embroidered batiste or a fichu.
While the soft lawn or silk tie has i.l
a great degree taken the place of the
stiff collar, a white stock with Ascot
ends is a favorite for golf or outing
wear.
An attractive skirt for a heavy linen
is cut circular with a circular fouEce
ending in a stitched band at the top
and trimmed with three rows Of white
braid around the hem.
Long black and white ostrich plumcs
are very much worn this season, and
they are put on the hat to droop not
a little at one side touching the shoul-
der in some instances.
Rosettes of baby ribbon matching
the color of the gown and combined
with innumerable loops Of black velvet
ribbon of the same width represent
new idea in garniture for thin muslin
gowns.
The collarless gown brings the pearl
necklace into vogue to such an extent
that the supply of real pearls cannot
meet the demand. But 1t is the price
and not the small supply which is the
usual obstacle to obtaining such
necklace. So the imitation pearls have
come into the breach in greater perfGc.
