Good for Ivey.

Collector J. w. Ivey, who some time ago issued an order to his deputy at Unalaska to the effect that Canadian vessels about to engage in pelagic seal ing were not to be allowed to obtain supplies, refuses to rescind the order, even to please the Secretary ef the Treasury. In telegram to the depart ment he says:
 "Your solicitude regarding interna- tional complications with Great Britain need cause you no uneasiness, as the poaching season is not yet opened. Your new collector will arrive in time to enforce your orders. My American ism will not allow me to rescind an order which gives British subjects privileges within our marine jurisdic- tion which are denied our own people.
 "There is another matter that may attract your attention. have recent Iy issued orders to the deputy at Skag- way, a copy of which has been sent you, which has put the Canadian officer located there out of business and sent him to his own territory. You are aware of the fact that this officer be- came so offensive that he interfered with American officers in the discharge of their official duties, opened U. $. customs mail, dominated over the railway officials, discriminated in the order of shipment in favor of Canadian merchandise against that shipped from Seattle, established a Canadian quar- antine at Skagway, collected moneys and performed other acts of British sovereignty in 8 port of the United States, such as hoisting with bravado the cross of St. George from the flag staff of his customs house. have sent the concern, bag, baggage, flag and other paraphernalia flying out of the country.

A Grand Law.

There are many things that belong to the list of Alaskan needs, but perhaps there is no one thing that appeals to everybody so much as the need of a law for the protection of the animals and birds who make their homes in this country and are being so ruthless ly slaughtered that there is ground to fear their extinction.
 Mir. M. J. O'Connor has recently re- eeived letter from U. s. Congressman Cushman, which brings the pleasing in' telligence that at least an effort will be made to pass proper game law.
 Mir. Cushman says in regard to this matter:
 "I have received your kind letter re- questing me to prepare and introduce in Congress a game law for Alaska Your letter reached me at very op perfume time. I have been at work trying to prepare satisfactory game law for Alaska, which l expect to in' troduce now in few days. l have al ready introduced a bill to provide fol delegate from Alaska to the House oi Representatives"

RTGHTIY SETTL ED.

It Is fitting that just as the ice cream season is opening the young men and young women who are trying to get diplomas at Butler college, Indianapo- lis, should discuss the important mat ters involved in the question, Resolved. That pie is of greater service to man. kind than ice cream The young men were burdened with the affirmative side of the debate, and though they did the best they could, of course they failed. They described pie as "the American national dish" "the emblem of home and mother,' etc, etc, but the young women pointed out that ice cream is dainty, refined and aesthetic" while pie is commonplace and unromantic" and even fatal" in some cases. That settled it, as it ought to have done, and pie was put in It's proper place. Lovers don't seek pie-shop when they want to spoon, and the Butler girls know it. They seek dainty, refined and aesthet- ic ice-cream parlor.

longing to other carriers. It is an easy
 thing to detect money letters in the
 other fellows lot, and include them ir their own to be purloined at leisure and
 suitable opportunity.
 Suspicion naturally falls upon the
 innocent carrier, and he is placed under secret surveillance. Decoy letters are
 mailed, and by other means it Is en- | deavored to fix the gilt upon him. If our usual methods fail we too become
 suspicious that an innocent man is be- I ing worked We drop him and try to locate the actual thief, and 1t is not | long before we have him in jail Some- times two dishonest employees will work
 together but as a rule postal thieves are like the lone highwayman and pre- fer to go it alone.
 You see, the dishonest employe fool ishly believes that he can beat the game, and an arrest in a large office has only temporary deterrent effect upon the other secret thieves therein. They are more cautious and may per- haps lie low for a brief time, but not for long. It is a singular but true off cial fact that once man begins to steal money letters he seldom voluntarily stops, and we have had men confess that they had been at this nefarious business for years and would have re- mained at it as long as they were in the service but for their arrest. It is an easy way to make money for the time being to the clerk or carrier whose sal ary does not meet his expenses. He be- comes emboldened by the confidence in his cleverness to secret the money let ters, forgetful that with each report of theft the efforts of the inspectors are redoubled to entrap him, and the closer are drawn the meshes of the net slowly but surely being entwined around him. Very often the guilty man is positively known to the inspectors for months be- fore they can catch him redhanded, the thief In the meantime believing himself undetected Washington Star.

 l It is rather incongruous to have the l salaries of reformers mentioned in the | same day with reform but they are so mentioned in the cases of the delegated | reformers of Connecticut's constitution. And they are mentioned in a way that | is not encourag ging to those members of the convention who think they need what little they are entitled to. In the
 act providing for the calling of a con-
 1901 specially declared that the com
 pensation of delegates to the conven-
 ton should be thereafter established
 by law" In spite of this some dele gates wanted to vote themselves salaries
 and said they could do it, and the At
 torney General was asked to pass on
 the question. He has decided that the Comptroller cannot legally recognize resolution providing for the payment of salaries of the delegates. Therefore such payment must be left to the Gen. eral Assembly which meets in January next. However should a new constitu- tion be approved by the people in form necessitating an extra session of the General Assembly, an appropriation for the salaries could then be made.
 Of course the delegates will ultimately ret salaries if they live long enough. So, we suppose, the Constitution will ulti- mAtely be reformed

Those who think the negro isn't mak- ing real progress are invited to look at some facts set forth in the Census bull letin which deals with agriculture in Alabama. It appears that in 1900 there were in the State 940S3 colored farmers, as compared with 129137 white farm CTS; that within the last decade the number of colored land owners has in creased at a rate twice as great as the rate of increase of the colored popula- tion, and that the rate of increase of colored tenant farmers has been three times that of the rate of increase of colored population. The total number of farms in the State was 223,22O, of which 579 per cent. Were operated by white farmers and 421 per cent vera operated by colored farmers. Of tba white farmers 61.5 per cent owned all or Q part Of the farms they operated. 319 per cent Were tenants and O6 Der cent. were managers. Of the c0lored farmers 15 per cent were owners.
