Investigation.

For some time complaints have been coming to us, of the manner aud style of administering justice or injustice at the U. s. Commissioners office in this city. These complaints have become so numerous that it is with feeling of relief that we learn that the matter has been brought to the attention of Judge Brown, who will, we are convinced, give it careful investigation, and do what is right. We are positive on one point, and that is that the fee system is mighty poor plan for the payment of both the commissioner and marshal. It was the intent of the lawmakers to increase the activity of the officers thereby, and the danger is that in that respect it prove too effective.
 We do not wish to inject our opinions into the matter for we feel that Judge Brown is not only competent but will ing to probe to the bottom and give the people of Douglas Island fair shake.
 However, it might be wise idea for the U. s. Marshal to give his branch of the business little overhauling. All we ask for Douglas is that we be treat ed fair, and any community is entitled to officers who are honest, manly and reputable citizens. We will say fur, ther that no man has any right to sit as judge and decide questions of law and equity in any State, district, or pre-, cinct of which he is not, or does not be- come, citizen.

The Hand that Feeds Us.

The Skagway Alaskan feels the knife and squirms because we used the ex- pression, or rather because we made the statement that we are not ready to turn Alaska over to the politicians, and says, "The expression of the News only shows how low some people will stoop in their servile trucking to the hand that feeds them"
 We admit the corn.
 We have long thought that it was only aquestion of whom we would that dictates the policy of both the News and the Skagway Alaskan, The hand ''that feeds us" cuts good deal of ice in our calculations. As we look over our subscription books we find the names of miners, prospectors, mill men, laborers and men engaged in the hand ling of merchandise, and its their int crest that we seek to protect. How about the Alaskan, we notice it's col umns filled with Canadian politics, a burning desire for the election of cer- tain candidate. Does the hand that feeds, have anything to do with the matter, or is it the moral and scientific influence of the White Pass Railroad?

The Concert.

Everybody expected that the concert and entertainment at the Congregation al church last Wednesday evening, would be we'll worth attending, and ev- erybody who attended was not disap- pointed. AS previously announced, the very best talent of the cities of Gas tineaux channel participated, and the result was perfect programme.
 At the appointed hour, Mrs. Ross took her place at the piano, and Mir. Campbell with his mandolin, played with such delicate sweetness that the hearts of the music loving audience were opened and the way was paved for what was to follow.
 Little Miss Gertrude lille, the only child on the program, sustained her part we'll and showed remarkable tal- ent for one so young.
 Mir. Shorthill and Mrs. Gould are two of Douglas Islands favorite singers, and their voices blended charmingly in the harmony of song.
 Miss Held, of Juneau, has fine voice, which shows unmistakable signs of cul- ture. It is always delight to hear her sing.
 Miss Galloway of the Douglas schools, pleases everybody with her readings. A hearty laugh is always forthcoming when she appears. We are glad to sur mise that she will be identified with more of the good times in Douglas.
 The violin playing by Prof. Novel; needs no praise or comment, except for the benefit of those who were not there. The Professor does not play in public often, and when he does it is q revela- tion to those who hear him. So many people say "why don't that man tray el?" The answer is simply, "he don't want to-" MT. Nowell plays the violin because he loves to; because he loves the sweet strains that he is capable of producing. He doesn't play for money, nor for praise. He may play for charity or just because the notion strikes him, but when he plays he plays, and it does your soul good to hear.
 The Juneau quartette-Messrs. Ins- ley, Gillette, Denny and Osbourne, have voices nicely attuned and sing we'll.
 Mrs. Gould, soprano, and, Miss Alice Henson, contralto, in duet, caught the ear of the most critical. Miss Henson is also late addition to the Douglas talent. Her voice is sweet and clear.
 Mir. Insley, of Juneau, always pleases with his solos. His voice is light and pleasant.
 MT. Callerman and his banjo have lately come to make things more pleas ant on the Island.
 When you read the name of Dr. Glib, bons on program, and it says tread ing," you begin to laugh, and the Dr keeps you going until the next day sometime.
 Mrs. Gould has large following oi admirers, and her solos are always little gems. After needed rest this summer her singing is better than ever.
 The church was we'll filled, and as one lady expressed it, "there was not pool number in the whole programme" The participants are each entitled to tho thanks of the public for giving then such treat.

TreadWell

The contract for the new Y. M. c. A. building at Treadwell has been award ed to Messrs. Ellenger and Rudolph of Juneau.
 Mir. Reed, the affable manager of the I'M. c. A. is rushing preparations for building. He wants to see the build ing genclosed as soon as possible. The lumber is being placed on the ground as rapidly as circumstances will per nit.
 Mrs. Christoe has been on the sick list for the past week.
 Miss Golloway's keen wit and origin ality were heartily applauded last Wednesday evening, when she respond ed to an encore with the following lines:
 How dear to our hearts are fresh oysters in When rich in the soup they're presented to
 view.
 And a supper was planned ere the meeting
 was through.
 Oh, the big eastern oyster, the plump, juicy
 oyster,
 The hot, steaming oyster that graces the
 stew.
 But my friends, don't indulge in such happy
 visions,
 Or later your spirits must surely 6roop. Just keep in mind this is church social, And be ye prepared for that sort of soup. You may look for one oyster, a tough little A lonesome wee oyster. that's lost in your
 soup-
 Members of Rebekah lodge please bear in mind that Saturday evening of this week is the regular meeting night, also that lodge will be called to order at 8 o'clock, sharp. Visitors are welcomed at all times.
 Some of the young bloods of Doug las and Treadwell, including Frank Bach, J. J. Penglase, Mark Tatom, l. D. Carpenter and a few others whose names we did not learn, are planning a hunting trip for next week. They ex- peet to go about twenty miles below sumdum, on the next trip of the seo- lin.

Mr.. Lykins figures that two per
cent tax would raise sufficient rev.
enue to pay the expenses of the
couuty,if based on his values, but as
his values are double what they
should be, more than four per cent
would be necessary. The people of
