would get most of this subsidy. are
now compelled under their mail con-
tracts, to have half American crew,
and to employ the same number of
American boys, but to treat them as

placed in the seventh district which
is made up of the following counties
Big Stone, Chippewa, Grant, Kan
diyohi, Lac qui Psrle, Lincoln, Lyon,
Pope, Redwood, Renville, Stevens,
Swift, Traverse,and Yellow Medicine.
The total population of these coun-
tics is 184,357 and the Republican
majority at the last election was
1870. This would make safe Re-
publican district and there would be
no dearth of good men to represent
it. There is Congressman Eddy
himself, who would be left in the dis
trict and then there is Senator Young,
of Swift, who would not be adverse to
term or two at Washington and
who would make an excellent repre-
sentative. Renville has Speaker

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

1t is gratifying to learn that the
Joint commission appointed in behalf
of the governments of the United
States and of the Dominion of Cana
da to determine the boundary line
between Alaska and the British pos
sessions has fled duplicate copies OF
it's report in Washington and Ottawa,
and that the report is substantially
in favor of the United States. This
country gets about nine-tentns of the
territory in dispute and all of the
Lynn canal, which was really the
most important item of the conten-
ton.
During the last campaign the fus-
ion orators and newspapers we've very
fond of charging the Mckinley ad-
ministration with having covered
the hag"-the stars and stripes--to
Great Britain by guaranteeing Alas
kan territory. Even such leaders as
Bryan and Towne we're not above at
temp to make political capital out
of this false charge. The admins
tration is now indicated. President
Mckinley undoubtedly knew what
he was about when he agreed to the
appointment of this joint commission
that is to say, he knew that our
claim was so clear that fair-minded
men could not fail to award us what
we claimed in the premises. We de-
manded only what we bought of
Russia when we bought Alaska. and
it was found that the Russian treaty
with Great Britain defining the
boundary was clear in almost every
particular.
The report of the joint commission
is not final. There will be a perma-z
nent survey made at leisure, but
there seems to be no doubt that the
finding Of the joint commission will
be confirmed and approved and
adopted 10y both governments.-Min

Shaaowy Sicily.

Sicily is in some sense land Of
Shadows land where the dead are
more present to the mind than the
living-a land where one feels ones
self to be a breathing man visiting,
like Dante or like Hercules, the realms
Of phantoms. Everywhere you are
haunted by the ghosts Of great men or
the memories of great events or Of
great and departed nations.
In the lemon groves Of the promon-
tory Of Naxos one fancies the sickly
Nicias Willing away the winter.
while his fleet rides in the bay outside
the Greek harbor. At Syracuse we
see a whole host Of great shades
Nicias again and Lamachus, slain near
the Anapo, and the ghosts Of thou
sands of Athenians perishing in the
great harbor and on the cliffs Of Epi-
pole and, last Of all, in the quarries,
and so vanishing into thin air. And
again by the shores Of Ortygia we
think Of Plato and Pindar and Bacchy-
lides and Simonides, the visitors at the
court Of the stately Hero, and last, but
not least, Of st. Paul tarrying for
short space in the harbor and, per-
haps preaching in some Of the squares
and streets Of the old city.
There is yet another figure who fol-
lows ones thoughts through Sicily
the naughty and mystical Empedocles.
We remember him on the slopes Of
Etna, in his native Acragas, and again
at Selinus. And even in bright and
busy Palermo the dead are more to
us than the living. 1t is Of Hamilkar
or Marcellus or Frederick II and the
brilliant Norman kings that we think
the most. So thoroughly in Sicily do
the shadows Of the past dominate the
living present-Sir Edward Fry's

"Luck," said a man who believes in

"He was bellboy then in a hotel

physically, and who had just got his
overcoat out Of the courtroom, turned
to him and said:
Here, boy, help me on with this
coat at the same time tossing the big
coat over to him and turning away.
The boy didn't begin to be big enough
to do it, and asking him to help
was just the big mans little joke.
for he was good natured man, but
the next minute the big man felt the
coat going up on his shoulders all
right. Turning round he saw the
youngster stepping down from chair
which had been standing near and
which he had grabbed on to the minute
the man turned his back.
''This tickled the big man very much.

The proposition for a central board
Of. control fer all of the state institu-
tions seems at first sight a worthy
project on account of the disparity
in the prices paid for supplies which
the reports of the different institu-
tions bring to light. But when one
considers the differing needs of the
various institutions, it is easy to see
that central board of control could
not exercise the intelligent care
which the present individual boards
do over the different institutions.
The boards are at present made up
of some of the best business men of
the various localities in the state, and
their services cost the state practical
ly nothing. 1t is true, however. that
a central purchasing agent might be
appointed and saving in the
amount paid for supplies thus had.
This would be true reform PROPOSE
ton, but this central board of con-
troll project ssvors too much of job

CONGRESSMAN Eddy, who is care
full student of the mathematics OF
politics, says that the best basis fo1
re-apportionment for Minnesota when
Republican districts are sought, is
the vote for acknowledgement in
1898 and 1900 rather than the vote on
congressman in 1898. Mr.. Eddy is
also in favor of two districts in the
northern part of the state with less
population than the districts in the
southern part on account of the prob
able greater growth in the northern
part.

of over II knots; and it's inducements

This is so far behind the practical
needs that, though the [nternation]
company (which would get greatest
share of speed subsidy received last
year two-thirds of total paid by
United States for carrying foreign
mails from New York, the post-ofice
had to hire British and German
steamers at half the cost to carry
three or four times the mail it COM
mitted to the International. Nothing
could be more worthless than the
right to have mails carried free by
ships already too slow to be trusted
with them.
AS to American sailors. the bill
provides that subsidized ships l)
have one fourth their crew citizens,
or intended citizens; ~ that one
American boy be employed for every
thousand tons shipping; and 81 that
