A FOOLISH SCHEME

pr. Edward Everett Hale recalls a for gotten incident of the old Abolition era in 1s45-s. showing the absurd ideas as well as the intensity of the sectional feel ings of the New England Abolitionists of that period. In brief. the object of the movement was to colonizs the new State of Texas with Yankee anti-slavery settlers and prevent the addition of an- other slave State to the Union by the sim through the predominance of the New England population and ideas.
 The absurdity of such an idea Is ap- parent now. but that 1t was seriously en- tertained Is evidenced by the fact that many prominent persons were interest ed dollars were subscribed to carry it out Those people had a wonderful faith in their own powers, and evidently believed that there was nothing necessary in the making of anti-slavery territory of any section of the Union but to send their emigrants down and let them take con- trol of things.
 Any one at all conversant with condi- tions existing in Texas at the period ale luded to will understand how utterly fa- tuous must have been the intelligent New Englander who could deceive himself into tho belief that the design of these people l had a practicable feature connected with it. The white population of Texas at that 1 time was largely composed of Southern men, and an Aboliuonist who tried to make converts to his views among that population would have been flew of days and full of trouble" They were looked on with peculiar disfavor all through the South, and in no portion of the country would they have been tolerated less than in Texas. They would have left the new State or the earth in short order. But there is another reason why the proposed anu-siavery propaganda would have been a failure. even had the Texans looked on them with favor. and that req son would have been founded on the uni versaI thriftiness of the Yankee.

aNAr AND CAMEL BUSINESS.

The following somewhat lengthy extr1ct is from an editorial in a recent issue of The Butte CMont), Inter Mountain:
 The law department of the State gov- ernment, after bitter and unrelenting war on card playing for money. which resulted in doubling the amount of gamb- ling in this State is now directing It's energies towards the suppression of the deadly and nefarious slot machine. It is the belief in official circles. evidently, that one slot machine is more dangerous to the public morals and the public pocket than a dozen crouching tigers in their dens, hence the edict has gone forth that the slot machine must be exterminated though the heavens fall. The evil or cigar smoking Is promoted by the toier- ation of the slot machine, whereas man may play faro and poker all night and lose all his money and go home and chase his starving wife and children out of the house with an ax. without being tempted by a single cigar. Cf two evils choose the greater4s plainly not the motto of the State Law Department, for its war fare on the slot machine is unremitting and widespread. Wh srever the esteemed the window. the slot machine flies out at the back door-for two hours. The Hell ena Independent tells of sensational on- slaught last week. the result of which was that the slot machines disappeared as If by magic. and did not reappear again until their owners had cleaned them and set the combinations so that a man might blow in twenty dollars worth of nickels without the possibility of getting more than three 10-cent cigars. This is a1 era of reform, and although the State election is approaching and a faro player can vote while a slot machine can not, that fact cuts no ice with the State Law Department. Tho nickel slot machine must either go or stay, regardless of all other forms of vice.
 This is one of the eases where the camel is swallowed and the gnat strained at, but it is not a condition which is con- fined entirely to Butte The slot ma chimes have been debared from practice in Montgomery. but we suppose no one will claim that there is no other form of gambling carried on. True. 1t is not in- dulged in publicly. as patronage of the slot machines was, nor has it the same opportunity to debauch boys that the machines had, but we suspect there is enough real gambling going on in our city to interest all who want to get into a game. However, we did not copy the article for the purpose of instituting a comparison between the two cities, or to make charges against Montgomery but only to show how things are managed Tn another city.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- cain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspapsrdorn which comes under it's notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol l01 denoting .'golden.. which stands for high quality. and h thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with single sym boi: but there is a higher grade. according tc shis standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require ths DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL t00 ] to describs adequately their standing.

igrants would have been the Knowledge that slavery was profitable. and their next move would have been to purchase slaves. Those who are old enough to re- member the -bellum civilization of the South will understand this. While there was an occasional Abolition evan gelist, with more zeal than prudence. who would risk his life preaching and practicing his doctrines. they were few in number Almost without exception the Yankees who settled permanently in the South became shareholders, and 1t Is not they were the most cruel and intoieraat masters any slaves ever had.
 What occurred in others of the slave States would inevitably have occurred in Texas. If those Northern people had gone there with the intention of becoming per- manent settlers, which was the only means by which they could have ac- quired any influence, and if they had bought land and become farmers, it would have taken them but a short time tO OcCoulc COHfiuCeu tildt they COulQ not compete with their neighbors without becoming slaveholders. That fact would have become apparent to the thrifty senses of the New England man before he had acquired the Texas accent. and nobody, so far as we are aware. has ever convicted a Yankee of failing to be mind full of his own interests.
 And so the scheme of evangel.a ItLon and conversion would have been double failure. If the new corners had started in to preach the doctrine of aboiitionism. their days would not have been long in the land. nor would their paths have been those of pleasantness and peace. On the other hand. if they became tillers of the soil they would have become slave-hold- CTS in a short time. The entire scheme was Utopian. but 1t was taken quite se- riously for time, and it is surprising to learn from Mir. Hale. who was one of the active advocates of the scheme, that he still believes they would have suc- ceeded, if they had persevered. He ought to know better.

A recent Tacoma paper states
that Judge Wickersham in an inter
view stated that Alaska was not
yet ready for a territorial form OF
government. And so we have the
opinion of another well known
official on the matter at this time.
Judge Wickersham has spent two
years in Northern Alaska and GER
.tainly has given the question some
thought and consideration and
knows pretty well the sentiments
Of the people of that section OF Alas
'ka.. This seems to be the sentiment
of those who have travelled through
out the district and know the con-
'ditions as they actually exist in
this country today. And yet we
hear Il few persons who have never
been out OF their own little commun-
ity or away from their mothers
apron strings trying to argue that
Alaska needs territorial govern
ment.

at Resurrection Bay is beyond the
comprehension OF any one in this
part of Alaska. as there is but one
family, eight people in all, living
on Resurrection bay and they are
natives who live by hunting and
fishing. From the statements made
by the Alaska Central Company in
their prospectus and advertisements
throughout the country, there is no
doubt in the minds OF people who
live in this part of the country, and
especially those who are conversant
with it, that the whole scheme is a
gigantic swindle pure and simple.
Only a hundred miles of the
country through which they state
the road will be built, has been
prospected at all, and that
is on the Kenai Peninsula and the
upper end of Cook Inlet, where
mining has been carried on ex, en-
sively the past six or seven years,
and this season in that whole sec
ton only $4,000 has been taken
out. The rest of that country
through which it is proposed to run
this road has never been prospected.
and while it is beautiful coun-
try and contains some timber. vet
it is not known that there is a
pound OF quartz OF any kind, or u
square yard of placer ground
worth working in the whole five or
six hundred miles through which
it is proposed to run the line.
These facts are known to the
Seattle papers yet they continue to
advertise what everyone believes
who is at all conversant with this
country, TO be genuine swindle.
A New York paper says that the
Valdez, Copper River d Yukon
Railroad will put ON three steamers
between Valdez and Seattle next
spring.
The Pacific Coast Company have
decided TO put steamer on this
run next spring, but have not de-
termined which one OF their boats
it will be.
