A GLAR!NG INJUSTICE.

When congress in its unwi,don fit to abolish the United States land offices at Rampant and St Michael gross injustice was done to Northwestern Alaska. The reason assigned was, We believe, be- cause those offices produced to enrich the treasury of the United States. And yet, as we have often remarked, Alaska is not mendicant; it pays its own way and yearly covers handsome surplus into the treasury. Alaska is in wise indebted to the United States On the other hand. the United States is the beneficiary Notwithstanding this there have been few United States officials in Alaska who would reduce the salaries of federal employees to the basis of Chinese cheap labor wres the last dollar from poor miner prospecor that it might accrue to the benefit of Uncle Sam's money chest but it has also been noticeable that these sams officials were lot seized with the spirit of economy when the peoples money was needed to further their own selfish aims and ends.
 Alaska has been, through all the days and years of its trbulatons peculiarly cursed In it has been fully exempliied the of greed of dishonesty in high places; of ncompetency and tergversation among federal officials; of ignorance, blindness and moral turptuds. And despite all these drawbacks it has progressed. It is steadily forging to the front notwithstanding the handiCaps placed upon it by the men who make the laws of the land. Its people have patiently borne the successive winters of cold national neglect, and endured the lnlustlCe which has been systematically and consistently dealt out to them.
 In fit of what now seems 10 have been temporary mental alteration, congress two years ago established the, two land offices spoken of No one asked for both, and that is probably the congress estab lished them. Then, because they were not money makers, they summarly abolished as they had been been established. To make matters worse, the remaining office in the entire district was removed to Juneau. It might as well he in Seattle or San Francisco 90 far the convenience of North western Alaska people is concerned Indeed, 1t would be more convenient to have it at either place.
 This misfeasance on the part of congress promises section It is opening gateway to the perpeluaton- of fraud, and putting a premium upon dishonesty. Suppose for instance, that in October next some per applied for patent to another mans claim With the uncertain means of communication during the winter between Nome and Juneau, the patent might be secured before the rightful owner had chance to adverse it. We do not know that such an outrage would be attempted, but it is possible There is much for the people of ths section to do in the way of memorializng congress b fore the next session begins, and it should be done at once.
 We want land office right here in Nome, and we can get it, if we will Lestir ourselves. He time has about arrived when congress will listen 10 our just demands.

KRUGER AS A FIGHTING MAN.
Chicago News.

Chicago News.
In his recently published autobiography
ex-President Kruger tells some thrilling
hunting stories. He recalls that he has
shot thirty or forty elephants, five rhi-
noceroses and five lions. He gives an ac-
count of an exciting rhinoceros hunt.
He had gone out with his brother
in-law, N. Theunissen, and they
had agreed that If either behaved reck-
lessly or cowardly he should receive a
sound thrashing from the other. When
they found the rhinoceros, Kruger says:
LAS I rode past my comrade he called
out: Don't dismount in front of the beast;
she's awfully wild and can run like any
thing 1 did not pay much attention to
the warning, knowing Theunissen to be
overcautious but jumped off my horse and
ran obliquely past the rhinoceros. She had
hardly caught sight of me before she was
in hot pursuit. / allowed her to come with

1 fired the percussion cap refused and
there was no time for second shot. The
animal was close upon me and there was
nothing to be done but to turn around and
run for dear life. In attempting to do so
my foot struck against the thorn roots
and came down on my face. The beast
was upon me, the dangerous horn just
missed my back, she pinned me to the
ground with her snout, intending to tram
pie me to death. But at that moment
turned under her and got the contents of
the second barrel full under the shoulder

to not letting go my hold Of the gun dur
ing this dangerous adventure The rhinoc-
eros sprang away from me, but fell down
dead a few yards away. My brother-in-
law hurried up as fast as he could. for
he thought I had been mortally wounded
by my own gun in this deadly combat.
When he saw, however, that was stand
ing up safe and sound he took his SIAM
box, and. according to contract COM

the banks Of the Rhenoster river in what
has since become the Orange Free State.
Six of us started Il was the seventh, but
did not count to find that lion. We were
all mounted and rode in parties of three,
with a good distance between the two
parties The lion sighted US before we
were face to face with him and came on
with a wild rush. The three adults with
whom I had come-my father, my uncle
and my brother-quickly tied the horses
together and turned them round with their
heads in the opposite direction to that
from which the lion was bearing down
upon us. This is the regular procedure at
a lion hunt, for IL the horses catch sight
of a lion there is always danger that
they may get frightened and bolt. My

the nervous tension of Stuart and his
troopers, but these men had been with
the gay and gallant cavalier in serious
difficulties before and trusted his skill
and sagacity would provide means of es-
cape.
Not to his ability, courage or nerve did
Stuart attribute his wonderful escapes
from these and other dangers, but to the
God of battles did he ascribe his mar
velous escapes, and on down to the sad
and painful episode at Yellow Tavern he
gave the glory of all his achievements
to the Lord Almighty. Here with his
usual intrepidity he threw himself with
about eighty men upon the head of a
brigade, saving Richmond, but yielded up
the life of as gallant a cavalier as ever
drew blade or strobe a steed.
Sedgwick, one of the best corps oomman-
ders in the Federal army, and a compan-
ion in arms in the old army. said Of
Stuart: HE was the best cavalry officer
ever foaled in America"
Captain John Estin Cooke, the author,
one of Stuart's military household, low
ingly wrote:
Never was a cavalier like ours,
Not Rupert in the days before;
And when his stern, hard work was done
His griefs, joy, battles DER,
His mighty spirit rode the storm,

Concord where more of the principles and
