Scene In Congress.

Scene In Congress.
"When Mr.. Reed was making the
parliamentary fight which resulted in
the adoption of the Reed rules for
counting quorum in the Fifty-frst

ton days. Toward the close Of the
struggle General Joe Wheeler Of Ala
bama had mounted his desk and was
making remarks which members Of
both sides thought might end in vic.
lence.
Several of his colleagues were
standing near by. angry, flushed. under
their breath declaring that it was time
to pull the speaker out Of the chair
Mr.. Reeds partisans We're just as hot
and crowded to the we'll to be ready If
any muscle We're needed. Confusion
reigned in the entire body.
Right in the thick Of it Representa-
tive Martin Of Texas made his way to
the steps leading to the speakers seat
and. lifting his coattails, showed to Mr..
Reed the butt end Of a revolver pro-
truding from hip pocket.
"'Do you want it? asked Martin.
"Just then the little orator from Ala
bama, with clinched fist, shouted at
Mr.. Reed: Your ruling is the most
damnable ever made in your chair. 1t
is nothing short OF revolution. 1t ought
to bury you so deep that Gabriers
trumpet won't waken you
"Mr. Reed leaned over then and re-

THE SMALLPOX SCARE.

Dispatches which have been published recently in the NrGGET told of the prevalence of smallpox in Pacific Coast cities We assume that these dispatches embodied more less truth The various cities of the Pacific Coast have not been free of smallpox since the Philippine began, and it IS to be feared that the scourse is more prevalent than is generally known. This being the case, there is need of prompt and efficient action on the part of the federal and municipal authorities to prevent it's introduction into Nome with the opening of vgation.
 Nome fortunately has an efficient federal quaran-
 tine officer in the person of Dr. s. J. Call and it may be taken for granted that proper precautions will be taken. Two years ago. during the rush to Nome from
 the outside several of smallpox found their way to this city A repetition of this should be avoided this spring. We are told that there have been many of smalpo in Seattle the past winter and that the extent of the ravages of the disease kept as quiet possible by the newspapers Of course if this the case, it for business reasons The commercial spirit is just as strong in Seattle in other portions of the United States. We do not want
 to Nome quarantined this year. The season of open navigation is much too short for to take any chances whatsoever, and it is well to be prepared at all times for any emergencies that may arise.

 The minds of men are often disabused of erroneous opinions tenacously held. Constant progression is the modern watchword nation is either full of rich blood or is aenemc and paraly ytic. Spain was of the latter class We have little nothing to boast of because we whipped Spain, but we have for rejoicing at the triumph achieved, because with it began new departure destined to bear an influence upon civilization.
 The United States is often accused of being n boasful nation, and there is foundation for the statement. But if we are oasttu, we also gen. erous friend and forgvng enemy. Self-aggrandize- ment has never been cardinal principle of this re- public. We have, however, through the force of events, been launched upon sea, in which wise statesmanship will be necessary to guide to peace ful havens. united nation, composed of patriotic people, who know the full value of freedom, need have fear for the future.

LAND LAWS FOR ALASKA,

Besides being given delegate in Congress it is probable that the United States land laws will be extended to Alaska in than their fullncss Representative Lacey's bill which was introduced in Congress early in the year provided that d man could appropriate GAO acres of government land to his own especial use and behoof instead of the GUS tomary l60 allowed to an individual elsewhere Mr. Lacey based his reason for being thus generous in the allotment of the public domain upon the fact that there was plenty of land in Alaska There is There are some 600,00O square miles of it, but much Of this area is comprised of tundra plains and mountainous regions, thus largely reducing the amount of land capable of cultivation or suitable for grazing purposes We believe that the idea of allow
 ing each settler to take up GAO of land bad in policy and we hope that that section of the bill will not become law. There is nothing to be gained in turning over square mile of land in this territory to each person who may ask for it. We believe that instead of such law having the effect of helping to populate the country as predicted by Mr. Lacey, it would have the opposite effect. It would tend to retard development of lands that are arabic and which can be made productive. It might however be found desirable 10 lease certain portions of the public domain in Alaska for grazing purposes under proper restrictions The thing to be avoided is hand ing over in fee simple any considerable portion of the lands of Alaska. The United States government has been far too liberal in its land grants especially to corporations and it is we'll to call halt.

BATTLE OF MANILA BAY.

Four years ago last Thursday Admiral George Dewey sailed into Manila bay, engaged the Spanish enemy in what proved to be the most bloodess naval battle in the worlds history and yet one whose glory will live as long the American republic endures. The battle of Manila bay is not an old story yet it will become old, but brave stories never die of age With that battle began epoch in the history of the United States. In a few hours d nation long looked upon as great commercial power, young enterprisng and vigorous. but not rcckoned seriously as of the great "nava" powers of the world, sprang to the front and at assumed her righfu place among the nations an unmstakable poten- tiality.

At the close of the battle of Manila new career opened for the republic At once the United States became factor that must be reckoned with in the future history making and map changing that have marked the worlds progress since Alexander the Great conquered all that he knew of it, or since Caesar essayed to follow in his footsteps.
 Ancient history however, is valuable only for the lessons which it teaches Modern history is it's cor ollary and must be viewed not through the glasses of past age but in the fulness of the present. Mar velous changes have taken place in the past four years The United States has added largely 10 it's possessions and .assumed new responsibilities Re- spect for the great republic has increased with the extension of power, and with it have our cares been multiplied. An era of unexampled prosperity fol lowed the close of the Spanish American war, and today the United States is foremost in all that goes to make nation powerful
