FLFSKF SEVTINEL.
THURSDAY, FEB. 26, 1903.

What this section of Alaska needs more than anything else is more unanimity of action on the part of the people regarding our varied industries, and especially that of mining. Within a radius of few miles of Wrangell, a mere skimming over of the ground has demonstrated the fact that gold, copper and other minerals exist in good, paying quantities. And yet, in the face of this the remark is frequently heard from the lips of our.own people: There is no gold or other mineral here worth men, tioning; better go to some other place if you want to mine." This is doing an injustice to the coun- try; it is not business, and more- over it is not facts. SENTINEL would advise conservative moderation and statements that would not be misleading on all information re- specting this country And in dealing with the question of mines and mining it believes that just as good pay dirt" can be found with in few miles of Wrangell as any where, and it behooves us all tosay so whenever opportunity offers. It is by talking first, last and all the time of natural advantages that cities, communities and states are built up and become prosperous.

the islands. He says that the indus
tries of the Philippine Islands are
largely paralyzed by the uncertain and
shifting character of the currency,
and that no subject connected with
the work that is being done in the
Philippines is more pressing for action
by Congress than this. He points out
the detriment such condition is to
investment and says that the uncer-
tainty largely increases the rate of
interest on money loaned He adds
that. THE insular Government finds
itself facing a deficit by reason of
the shrinkage in the purchasing pow
er of its assets. There is no relief,
except in a stable currency, and the
only stable currency possible is one
based upon gold standard
The report shows how the ratio of
50 of local currency for 81 of money
of the United States, established in
1901. gradually increased from 81. 10
on Jan. 1, 1902 to $2.35 last July,
80. 40 in September and 50. 46 in Octo-
Der, and continues
Between Jan. 4, 1902 and Oct %,
1902, the aggregate of those losses was
1856, $50. 81 = measured in gold dollars,
every dollar of which is not book
loss, but an actual loss to the treas
urey, as complete as though the money
had been S .nk into the bottom of the
ocean, The cholera epidemic has
diminished the revenues by decreasing
the imports and disturbing the pub
lie conditions, and has increased ex-
penditures by nearly $500, 600, money
of the United States, in the attempt
to prevent the spread of the pesti-
| lence.
The available assets will not be in
creased to any appreciable extent by
the provisions that customs duties col.
lected in the United States on imports
from the Philippine Islands shall be
returned to the insular treasury. EX-
perience has already demonstrated
that the insular treasury will receive
very little benefit from that provision
of law. The rates now imposed by
law upon imports into the United
States from the Philippine Islands are
still practically prohibitive and AFFORD
no encouragement to the industries OF
these islands.

COURT or CLAIMS.

The court of claims adjourned on
Thursday until January 27, when the
final meeting of the January term
will begin. No new claims were
presented but the discussion of
those presented earlier was contin-
ued and several were disposed of.
The two claims of Hiram A. Huse s
estate, one for $91, and one for S43. AZ
of f. NJ. Harvey for services as clerk
of the railroad commission from Dec.
to Dec. IL, 1902, amounting to 500

scented at this time was that of @. M.

but before the animal was discovered
vermin had destroyed both ears. The
skull was presented to the town clerk
but the bounty of S12 was refused by
that official because there was no left

later The claim of County Clerk M.
E. Smile, for $766.50 the amount of
water rent paid by the county to the
city Of Montpelier during past years,
was also reserved for decision later.
1t is claimed that the State should
pay this expense instead of the county.

MY CAUSE TROUBLE.

Vienna, Jan. 10. The Nieue Freie
Presse, in discussing the protest of
Great Britain against the passage of
Russian torpedo boats through the
Dardanelles, says it is a proof that the
Eastern question is again becoming
prominent in international politics
The paper adds The relations of the
Powers onse to another will shape
themselves according to whether they
will support the British protest or
not. For Austro- Hungary the OAR
danelles question has lost its imme-
date importance
The Neues Wiener Journal says the
revival of the Eastern question is a
matter of grave concern to interna-
tional peace. 1t suggests that the
best methods of settling it would be
the conclusion of fresh agreement be
tween the Powers.

Saturday afternoon, of the death in
Pasadena, California, of Walter Paine
young man formerly resident of
this city. Mr.. Paine had been in The
employ of the Ryle & Mccormick
Granite Co., but about a month and a
half ago he was advised to 90 to Cali
fornia in the hope of improving his
failing health. He made the change
but his letters have shown that no
benefit was received, and short time
ago Mr.. Brown received word that he
was much worse. Mr.. Brown at once
telegraphed to spare no expense in try
ing to save the sick man, but the tele-
gram of yesterday showed that con-
sumption had claimed its victim Ar
rangements have been completed for
the sending of the body to Montpelier
at once, as it will take week or ten
days to come through nothing definite
can be said about the burial Mr..
Paine was nearly twenty-five years of
age, having been born in East Mont
pelier in 1881. A few years ago his
family moved to Montpelier and he
had become well known here and was
held IN high esteem by all. He was
an active member of the First Baptist
church. HIS mother. Mrs. Lucy Paine,

TERMONT NEW YORK LINE

Engrossing Clerk Jesse Harvey, at
the State House, is devoting part of
his time now to the work of making
copy of the report of the commits
sioners who surveyed the line between
Vermont and New York in 1918. This
copy will be furnished to the new
commissioners who, in accordance
with the action of the last Legisla-
ture, are to go over the old survey
and see that the line is properly
marked. The line has been surveyed
but twice; first in 1871 when Vermont
was admitted to Statehood, and again
in 1872 The latter survey was by
direction of the Legislature of 1912
which took action upon reports that
the first survey was very hurried and
improperly recorded. The commits
sion of 1918 went over the ground
anew and marked the chief angles
with appropriate marble monuments.
Many of the minor angles are marked
in what appears rather crude
fashion in these days of accuracy in
surveying, merely birch tree, or a
stone heap, or pine stump, serving as
guide for future ages Naturally
most of these marks are now lost
track of and to place more durable
monuments along the line and to put
in better shape the few that are all
right is the duty of the new commits
sion

FALSE TEETH IN COURT.

In city court ON Saturday after
noon the case of j. M. Huse VS.. Ella
r. Webster was fought out, with a
set of false teeth for the center of
controversy. The plaintiff is dem
fist in Berlin and the suit was for
money due for sets of false teeth
made for the defendant. who is a
resident of Mortified. The defend
ant claimed the second set was made
for her because the first set was I'M
satisfactory and refused to pay for it,,
and also refused to pay the original
argeed price of IS, because, she said,
that neither set was made in any
shape. The teeth were exhibited in
court in sad state with ivory falling
out OF the first plate and holes in the
last made. The plaintiff claimed that
the teeth could pever have come into
such condition by wear and suggest
ed the inference that they had been
injured FOR purposes of the trial.
Judge Woodward decided that the de-
PENDANT should pay the balance I'M
paid ON the original price of IS, but
not the additional So charged for the
second set, and so rendered judgment
for "a and costs for the plaintiff. Bur-
ton E. Bailey appeared for the plain
tiff and T. r. Gordon for the defen.

THE UNANSWERED QUESTION,

The public has been anxiously wait
ing for nearly week the exact ma
ture of the question the Governor sent
to the judges OF the Supreme Court,
and the reply their Honors made. The
general understanding of the question
has been stated by the Journal If
this understanding is correct, no good
| reason appears for the withholding the
answer. The fact that the nature of
the question and the answer are not
made public, and, as stated by the Ex-
ecutive representation, may not be
given out for several days, leads to
surmise. The law under which the
Governor Intercepted the Judges is
section 1906, Vermont Statutes.
| The Governor, when the interests of
| the State demand it, may require the
opinion of the judges of the Supreme
Court, or a majority of them, upon
| questions of law, connected with the
discharge of his duties. And the judges
OF the Supreme Court, or any of them,
shall give an opinion in writing upon
such questions
The circumstance that, should the
license act contain any fatally defec-
tive provision which might render it
necessary to call the Legislature to-
gether, would bring the inquiry of
the Governor under the terms of this
law. "The interests of the State"
would demand the requisition ON the
judges for their opinion. In this view
of the matter it could hardly be that
the judges declined to consider the
Governors question. The further cir
cumstance that the Governor is appar-
emily making no move to convene the
General Assembly might indicate
that, asking for an opinion to guide
his official action, he has become sat
is6ed as to his course in the matter
and for reasons which he deems suffi-
cient does not make known either the
question or the answer.
In the judgment of good legal au-
thority, section 100 of the license act
was simply declaratory, and the me-
cessity did not exist to declare that
il should become operative ON it's pas
sage, the principle being the same as
in the section finally attached to many
laws that This act shall take effect
from it's passage.
But when the question is known
and the reply published the public can
stop guessing. Apparently there is
nothing to interfere with the orderly
taking of the referendum in accord
ance with the plain intention of the
license act.
