In Passing.

The grand jury, which by the way IS anything but grand jury, has adjourn ed, and may the Lord have mercy on their souls.
 All over this sin cursed land of ours there are laws, which have been duly enacted by the legislatures of the seT- eral states, which are not now and never have been enforced. The law prohibit ing the sale of liquor is not enforced in Kansas, Iowa or Maine; The Sun day closing law is not enforced in New York City or Boston, and so onthrough the entire list. The question IS asked, Gwhy" and there is no answer Those who hold the reins of government m their hands simply close their other eve and smile. These Jaws were passed by representatives of the people, elect cd by their votes.
 In Alaska it is different, men who have no more idea of the needs of this country than hog has of the Sabbath; men who hold their positions, not by any act of Alaskans, have made laws that will never be enforced.
 The grand juries that assemble from time to time in s. E. Alaska keep this country in continual uproar and we defy any man to show one single in- stance in which they have made the world one whit better or have done any thing that was deserving of praise, un- less it be called good to stir up strife.
 If it be the desire of these bodies to die up flth and Tottenness, why do tbey not bring to bear the powerful rays of their ineuisition upon the mat ters which they have seen fit to pass over so lightly. For instance the no torious fee system which allows men clothed in the garb of authority to be- come veritable vandals; sacrificing upon the altar of greed every sense of right, decency and honor. Again the system that cages 2s human beings, felons though they be, within the con- fines of room 14X24 it.
 Instead of indict;ng the blackjack dealer who earns his paltry S3 or s4 a day, why not take a shot at the cor perations that ruthlessly destroy the fish, in defiance of the law, and whose profits are thereby increased millions of dollars.
 Have the grand juries, composed of men who live in Alaska, become a party to the carpet bagger's scheme to squeeze the life out of everything that belongs to Alaska, that they may pocket the thirty pieces of silver.
