THE GENEROSITY OF CONGRESS.

A dilisent search of the record of legislation passed by Congress at the session recently closed fails to reveal anything for Alaska, except one onc little bill entitled An act for the protection of game, etc. 7"
 It is small favor, but are thankful for even small favors in Alaska we have been long accu8- toned to feeding from the crumb, thrown us from the rich congressional table so used to receiving a little cast-oH clothing from time to time, that even the fact that congress at all remembered that there is such place Alaska the map of the United States is something to be thankful for. The game law is better than nothing, It is such gift as ! stepchd might expect. The municipal bill and the bill providing for delegate in Congre-. were laid away in the col gressonal cemetery, without tear being shed, We suppose.
 The sun-kissed and the sun killed islands of the Pacific received ample protection notice. L.gis- lation, superabundsnce of it. in truth, was passed for the Philippines Porto Rico and Hawaii, recently acquired possessions peopled mostly by darkskinned races. Even the Sultan of Sulu, pasha of many tails and many wives, was not forgotten.
 But Alaska, alas and alackaday She is given a game law; nothing else; not the right to send representative to congress to make h. accumulated woes, sorrows, trial. and tribulatios of five and thirty years known to wicked, gainsaying and perverse congress
 " no are the rulers or these united states, way? Manifestly it is the body known as the Congress. For many years Alaska has been trying to make its peace with the powers that govern, but without much success. We have begged and wed and enreated and have met g-uff rebuft and cold disdain. Is Alaska integral part of the United States If we judge by the treatment received we should say that it is not. Yet it is as much a possession as is Porto Rico or the Philippines As much said. Ns, hardly. The latter are oaressed and nurtured fed cn milk and honey, and clad in purple and fine linen and Alaska gets a game law. New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma are denied atehood, though entitled to t for To thes. many ryears the former having become 8 territory more than 50 years ago. Perhaps the people of New Mexico will sympathize with the people of Alaska. and when she attains statehood, a time not far distant will remember and aid this long neglected northern chi d..
 In the meantime, at least until congress meets again, will cherish that game law. It shall be to as the apple of our eye, the ewe lamb, for it is clearly evident that tho bowels of compassion of Congress move occasionally. Let us hope on; hope ever,

TIRE SpEAkER'S AUG0CRAnC POWERS.

The speech of Representative Cushmar, of the state of Washington, in the house o. representatives short time ago, wherein he assa.ied the arbitrary powers vested in the speaker of the house. shows how much needed legislation may be blocked at the will or caprice of that official.
 The speaker is a ycitahle d-spot. His ipse dixit is supreme his uka,e is ju. as eft,cliye though of course much more limited in its scope as is that of the ear of "all the Russias.'
 In picturesque language Representative Cushman, who is called by his admirers the Abe Lincoln of the WeSt,' described the hepcssness of the average memter of the house when the speakei's face is set against hlm no matter what the urgency may be, or the need of bill being pa-,ed the consent of the Autocrat of the House must be first obtained. In other words, the will of 900000OO of people nay.br brushed aside by the speaker hy wave of his hand CT by rown on his face Tn. speaker of the house is IT. The people who created both are nothing
 It seems to that it is sad connent4ry upon the independence and intelligence of the men who compose the loN CT house of congress that for any req Son they sLoad delegate snch important Iowcrs to one manther presiding officer. It IS an insull to their intelligence and direct blow at the rights of their constituents. It is anachronism this one man rule; it is undemocratic, unreplblican and un- American. The house sadly npede the cultivation of the spirit oi reform. Among d free, enlightened and presumably intelligent people there is or should be- no necessity of adopting the pursued in mon archcal or sem-dc.potic countries.
 The rules which govern the house were adopted when Thomas Bracket Reed, of Maine, became speaker, So vigorously did he apply the rules which 2 complaisant majority in congress provided that republican member oi the house, several years ago, denounced the speafer, arbitrary powcrs just as wig orously as did Mr. Cushman. Referring to the dini- culty he had experienced in getting the speaker ; permission to take b II from the calendar in order to pass it. this member sad ''The spe tkcr must be approached with the same reverence that a Hindu draws near to his idol, while he mutters under his breath, I know that thou art ugly, but l feel that thou art great"
 The NrGiET sincerely trusts that Representative Cushman will cDntnuc his war upon the latitude now given the speaker until k brought within the lines of public deccncy. It i. beyond that pale now
 Alaska would have a delegate in Congress but for the one-man power in the house.

A PLEA FOR THE ESKIMO.

The Eskimo is not ward of the nation, nor has he desired to become such; he is an independent aborgine willing to work for his living, content with his pt keen and intelligent, with pride of his own that would shame his paie-facs brother. He is patient and long suffering slow to anger hospitable and kind to strangers, Yet he has been imposed III on by the whites in manner most shameful Being of quick intuition, his powers of imitation be- ing cultivated to remarkable degree he has easily lUirsd the vices Of the white man; and as con sequence, in many instances, he has grown ahiftess and lazy. He has left his native village and taken mp hi habitat tho towns of the white man and he does not cars as much as formerly to fish or 10 hunt.
 The Eskimo cannot be blamed; it is the fault of the white man ard his environment. His means of existence have become and more limited by reason of the settlement and civilization of this coast The fate of the Eskimo, therefore becomes serious question. It is not right just that this gentle intelligent people should perish from the earth. And yet we do not think that they should be treated as are the Indians of the plains. We do not think that they would easily fall into the idle groove of lazy
