NUT SATISFACrORY.

The treaty providing for the appoint
ment of n commission of jurists to set
tie the Alaskan boundary question Is
not satisfactory to the Canadians. They
appear to be a~pprehensive that they will
lose their case. This is indicated in the
statement of one Of the leading men in
the Dominion, Sir Charles Upper, who
said that the treaty means that the
United States will euchre Canada out
of its rights. He declared hat Great
Britain will not fight the United States
for one inch OF Canadian territory, add
ing than the United States knew what
Il was doing when 1t agreed TO a com
mission Of three on each side. Promi-
zen Canadian newspapers have eX-
pressed themselves In a similar way,
showing a fear that we shall be able to
convince the British jurists that our
contention Is the correct one and that
the Canadian claim is utterly untena.

The Nebraska State Historical So
ciety has accumulated a roomful Of
relics, weapons, tools, pictures, etc,
reminiscent of territorial days.
Whether the collection of these me
mentocs was made with a design or
merely incidental to the organization
and purposes of the historical society
has not transpired. Sufficeth to say,
however, that the aggregation Of pioneer
day brlc-a-brac affords a plausible basis
for asking the legislature for an appro-
priatiOn of $4,000, to be expended
in the construction of a fireproof mu-
exclusively devoted TO housing
these curios. 1t is presumed that the
possession of a museum at the state
capital would necessitate appropriations
for "A building, superintendent and jani-
tors, as well as for the heating and
lighting, and also for a custodian of
the venerated collection from now on
and forever. Whether the present gen.
GRAFTON of taxpayers should be COM
PEELED TO shoulder this expense for the
edification Of future generations is a
question for the legislature to solve.

praying and hoping for a reduction Of
taxes, w if they have to forego the
exhibition of historic relics at the state
