There was a time when American school teachers taught the little boys with presidential ambitions that one of the foundation pillars of the American republic is the recognition of the right of people to govern themselves, and that it was because of the insistanee by the British government upon the tax ation of the American colonists, while at the same time they denied them representation in the government, that the war of the Revolution was fought. A bright Alaskan boy, whounderstands the conditions that surround him, would give his teacher the horse laugh fine should attempt to expound any such doctrine in Alaska at the present time. He would ask the teacher how it is that 10000 Alaskans who reside in an American colony are taxed and have not representation or government in local affairs while 10000 Canadians in a British colony under similar conditions are given representation in Federal ai- fairs and local self-government

This office is in receipt of a copy Of the Daily Alaskan published at Skag- way, Alaska. The gist of the paper is a boom for Panama placer fields in Nort- ern Alaska. The Alaskan says that over 1000 men have already left Dawson and Skagway for the new strike which comprises at least 20 square miles. Tests have been made on all claim and pay dirt found. The Panama district is said to be better than any claims at Eagle, Fortymile or Eldorado creek. The Alaskan also contains much information in regard to the country and prevailing prices of groceries and product atSkag- way. According to prices given, goods can be purchased much cheaper than in the states and pay freight.-Bessmer Mich )Free-Press.

CanadA's Retaliation.

When Canada, in 1897, decided to give
England a preferential rate on goods
imported from the mother country, Ger
many set up claim to q corresponding
rate, on the basis of Amost favored
nation treaty effected with England
in 1855. In reply to this claim, England
denounced that treaty at the request Of
her self-governing colonies. Germany
thereupon penalized Canada by impos-
ing upon Canadian imports into Germany
the Maximum German tariff rate.
Canada's response to Germany went
into effect at IL o'clock on the night Of
sept.-sC. All German goods now ecter-
ing Canada will pay tariff rate one
third greater than that paid on the i'm
ports of any other country.
During the last fiscal year, Germany
sold to Canada about Sl2,OOo,oO0 worth
of goods. and bought from Canada about
100000 worth. This is very small
item in tho trade of either country, but
the exchange Of international courtesies
in their respective custom houses prom
ises to be somewhat more expensive for
Germany than for Canada. But it is a
fair guess that our cousins across the
line would have done the same thing
had the conditions been reversed.

Tho Eulo gist Of Van Wyck.

Mr.. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN was ono Of
the ABsALoMs put forward by RICHARD
CROKER in 1901 to catch the young mems
VOTE" He was the chairman Of the Tam
many city convention which nominated
EDWARD M. SHEPARD, and in that Office
he delivered an address defining the posi-
ton Of Tammany.
After three years and nine months Of
the Van Wyck administration, while the
glare Of the Red Light district illumi-
mated the activities Of the cadet system,
promoted, fostered and protected by
Tammany, the amiable Mr.. MCCLELLAN
declared from the platform Of the con-
vention hall:
We meet here again to might 10 indorse tho
Democratic administration that has been presided
over 10 ably and successfully by that unsworv!As
fearless Democrat RODENT A. VAN wYck We
have no apologies to offer. We have nothing fol
which TO apologize"
A little later Tammany Hall was
driven from power, beaten and humil-
lated for the very things Mr.. MCCLELLAN
applauded and for which he 80 positively
refused to apologize.

The Last Casts.

The fishing season hereabouts is now
rapidly drawing to close. The sea
trout are gone; the blues" put in
no appearance; and unless the striped
bass pay flying visit to their few re-
naming grounds, we may assume that
the anglers for this year have made their
last casts.
Sad to say, it was poor fishing season,
the poorest within the recollection Of the
oldest among our anglers. Small weak
fish came in at intervals, but the big
"tide-runners" could not get through.
They must have spent their summer
vacation far away, or perhaps their
usually long processions were halted
by the many miles Of traps laid for them
in New Jersey waters. -----.--
Raritan and Now York bays, fashioned
by nature for the summer homo of many
species Of fish from Southern waters,
have been for years polluted by garbage.
Fortunately, that nuisance 10, at least
partially, abated; the harbor channels
arc unmolested. and the water ID beoom-
ing clear again.
For old-timers, especially anglers, tho
beauty Of New York bay has faded some
what with tho disappearance Of many
OF the trees by which It was framed.

We Defend the Boston Highballers

The Greatest Event in the history Of
international computation is now in
happy progress. The Wet Durbar has
begun. As the Boston Globe says, 1T
Is here in Boston that the eyes of the
country are centred The Honorable
Artillery Company Of London is billeted
at Fort Young and Fortress Parker. 1t
has received Its first impression Of
American hospitality in the shape Of
the charge cocktail invented for and
dedicated to the Wet Durbar. The
British cruiser Remorse is anchored
off Water street. The Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company, like its
souvenir plate, is beautifully fred and
richly colored." Everything smiles upon
the Great Event that will serve to bring
the mother and daughter into closer
bonds Of unity, that both may live in
peace and thirst forever. All peace
makers past do stand excused in this;
and "the Hague tribunal will soon be-
come a thing OF the past, so far as the
United States and Great Britain are
concerned As Mr.. KIpLING sings:
-Ah, there. HAncIcnti with rs helbows on the bar
Or a-charyin' on Roozeiontcln In is bloomin' buf
fet car;
'Es always primed an loaded. I'd like to join I,
I've seen lot o. Thirs,ies that could drink dam
sight less"
When every patriotic eye and throat
was wet and every patriotic voice and
glass lifted to do honor to peace and
combibition, one Boston newspaper, in
stigated by bile or envy, dared to bring
this false and 'scandalous accusation
against the heroes Of thousand field
days:

A Finaacier Of tho Orient.

From he Singapore NrfN 1WnsS
may seem unchristian TO say 50. but Il Is greatly
to be feared that tho story of local Chtty having
duped his brother Chitties out OF several hundred
dollars will be hailed with grim delight by many
persons in this community. On Friday Mr.. Pea
cock held . preliminary inquiry into certain
charges Of cheating preferred against ono Rakapps

hundreds of good dollars out Of Ramssmy. Chilly.
and Palamippa, Chtty. and then to have fitted to
India. Unfortunately for himself. the cajoler
was apprchended and brought back. and he now
stands committed for trial.
Rakappa. while employed by one particular
Chtty firm here, did broking business for many
others. Ono day In September last he told Ram
samy the FIRST of the above mentioned self fessed
dupes that q certain Chinaman needed tho sum
Of 500. promissory note for $40. rcpayable In

client did not appear. Five installments were
duly paid Then the payments ceased. While
this transaction was In progress Rskappa ID alleged
to have obtained from Ramsamy . further sum
Of $500 on q second promssory note for 5000, re-
payable In twenty months This was also for .
Chinese client who did not appear. and who Is now
believed to have boon mythical. Two instaIments
Of this were duly paid; but In the meantime Ram
samy parted with further sum Of $500 for third
chimercal client Of RakappA's-the same modus

Two instalments of SO each were repaid, but then
the payments ceased. and then also the Chittis,
made inquiries. The result was that they learned
that Raltappa had gone to India. The Chinese

then applied for and granted. and In due time

An Amazing Exhibition.

1t is significant that whenever a ques-
ton of religion ia raised in our columns
in manner to provoke thought there at
once pours in on us great stream Of
correspondence on the subject.
The letter on religious education for
the public schools which we printed the
other day from the Rev. Mr.. GEER, the
vicar Of st. Paul's Chapel, is an example
of the sort Of provocative discussion to
which we refer. Every post reaching
this Office is laden with letters on the
subject, and uniformly they are dis
tinguished by great earnestness and
much ability. This stream Of corre-
spondence, too, as we know by frequent
past experience, has only begun. Every
part Of this country and many regions
outside have yet to be beard from, until
the number Of these letters reaches hhtHiR -
dreds, if not thousands before it slack
ems. They are and they will be letters
from people of every phase Of religious
belief and religious infidelity. Catho-
lies, Professionals, Jews, agnostics, and
every school Of thought will be repre-
sented, and ably represented.
Obviously, we cannot think OF printing
all these letters or any considerable part
of them, though almost invariably they
will be we'll worth reading. They would
fill half the space in THE Sun. More
over, the grounds taken are repeated in
many letters. Accordingly, we can do
no more than give those that are typical
of the views OF each of the considerable
schools, and of those, generally, we. can
only make extracts, as we do to-day in
another part Of this paper.
It will be observed that in the prepon-
derance of these quotations the spirit Of
religious unbelief, or, at least, of religious
scepticism, is manifested. Is the reason
for it the absence Of religious instruction
in the schools, to which Mr.. GEER at
tributes the spread of infidelity? Their
tone, their phraseology, their very in
terest in the question indicate unmis-
takably that where the scepticism is most
complete the writer's have had religious
training, though they have departed
from their early teachings 30 completely.
They are OF a serious frame Of mind.
They are not bitter in their animosity to
religion, after the fashion Of the old in
fidels. They breathe out no hatred
against the Church or against Chris
tianity; yet they give up all dogmatic
theology as o hopeless attempt at the
solution OF an insoluble question.
1t is all very remarkable. As a symp-
tom Of the tendencies of this time with
respect to religion this correspondence
of The Sun is Of high importance. 1t Is
an amazing exhibition OF the thoughts
which are now in the minds Of great
multitudes Of earnest and intellectual
people.
