In Men1oriam.

The following resolutions were adopt ed by Northern Light Rebekah Lodge No. l, on the death of Sister Ellen Gra- cia Bach:
 "Whereas, A Providence that is be- yond misunderstanding has taken from among us Ellen, the pure young life, the light and life of the pathway of our beloved brother, Frank Bach, and God has asked him to walk on alone and in the shadow and while the light of a young life has gone out in the spring time of her days, yet we realize that had QUE sister lived to the full three score years and ten allotted to man, she could have been no better prepared to go.
 Shall the Lord have nauGht that is fair?
 Have naught but the golden grain? The Lord hath need of the flowers,
 And will give them back again"
 "Therefore, Resolved, That we, the membe of Northern Light Rebekah Lodge No. 1, 1. o. O. F., extend to our bereaved brother our earnest sympathy in this his hour of afliction, in which be has been asked to "pass under the rod" That we ask him to remember that suffering may elevate and ennoble instead of cast down; and remind him that the hearts of his brothers bleed with his at the loss of her who is only waiting for the one she loved to come up higher
 Resolved, That as mark of respect for the memory of our departed sister, the Charter of this Lodge be draped in mourning for thirty days, that copy of these resolutions be forwarded the husban and children of our deceased sister, the Douglas Island News, and a copy spread upon the minute book of this order.

Perhaps it may be presumptuous to say it, but the town of Juneau with all it's advantages, it's trained lawyers, and acute politicians, its court house and it's land office, and it's two daily papers, is a mighty weak sister when it comes to the accomplishment of any good thing for Alaska. Juneau should stand in the front of every progressive movement, instead of letting little personal jealousies disrupt it's first and only legitimate effort at organization.

In no other land, perhaps, is the prosperity of the country, generally, so much dependent upon the towns as in Alaska. It has here resolved itself to the one thing; when the towns are prosperous, the country is going ahead. Every business man in Alaska, with so few exceptions that they amount to nothing, is more or less interested in some mining venture, and all spare cash is devoted to grubstaking pros pectors and developing claims. Now when anything is done or takes place that unsettles the conditions in the towns, destroys trade and causes lack of confidence among business men, each individual feels that, to be pre- pared for an emergency, he must-heep his earnings in his pocket. And the prospector is not grubstaked, the small claim is not developed, the extra Iaborer seeks some other field and the progressive movement is brought to a sudden halt. When a change of our srulers" can bring these things about, when men have no interest in the country and no knowledge of condi- tions, are, and can be sent up here as "rulers," it is indeed time that all good citizens rise in their might and put an end once and for all to the fubdubary business. A settled policy is all right, but uncertainty is the sand that erumbles from beneath the strongest business foundations.

holding Office in the postal service of
Tennessee who owe their offices only
to political influence and that there is
not work to justify the maintenance of
these positions. One of these is said
to be the cashier of the Memphis post
Office, with a salary of 81 500 a year.
The gentlemen that holds this Office is
a friend of Mr.. Brownlow, who had
the Office created and the appointment
made. The statement that the office is
absolutely useless, aud that there is
little or no work to do, is credited to
the postmaster at Memphis. 1t is
further stated that there are other Of
fees in the postal department within
the limits of Tennessee that come un-
der the same classification, there is no
cashier at the Chattanooga postoflice,
the postmaster and the assistant post
master being sufficient to do all the
work of this or much larger Office.
The Chattanooga Office is hardly with
i'll the jurisdiction of Mr.. Brownlow.
AS the result of the postal investiga-
tion, and an examination into the ac-
tual needs of the postal service in Ten
nessee, it is said that a number of re-
publicans are likely to find themselves
without jobs Chattanooga Times, 9th.

State Pension Frauds.

In an interview at Knoxville last
week, f. A. Moses, special pension ex-
aminer for Tennessee, referred to
numerous frauds which are being
procticed in the obtaining and retain
ing of pensions by Confederate veter-
ans since the last state legislature in
creased the pension fund. Many vio-
lations and evasions of the law are
being met with and reported and he
will begin shortly tour OF the state to
investigate these and report them to
his board, which meets at Nashville
in August. He stated that number
of the violations have been exposed
and corrected while Others have been
reported. According to the law only
INDECENT and needy Confederate vet
erans need apply for pension and
should they attain afiluent circum-
stances after receiving a pension their
names will be stricken from the rolls.
Recently blank forms have been sent
all the pensioners to be filled out and
returned. One of the questions is
whether the financial condition of the
pensioner has been altered. One man
in West Tennessee answered that his
financial condition was just the same as
when he received his pension. Mr..
Moses is informed that this man has
been writing life insurance and only
recently received a gold watch as a
prize for writing insurance for which
his commissions amounted to over
$4,000. Other striking cases are also
reported There are 800 names on
the rolls, the amount of the pensions
ranging from $50 to $500 per annum.

BR0WNLOW'S STRONG PULL.
His Rural Routes Subject of InyeStl-
CATION

Adyices from Washington are that
the postofice department will investi-
gate the rural free delivery system and
other abuses which are alleged to have
been committed by various officials
now under charge. 1t is also stated
that a number of Congressman Walter
p. Brownlow's rural routes and Jobs,
that have been created for his follow
ers, will come under this investigation.
Mr. Brownlow has spent consldera-
BILE time in Washington since the pos
tai investigation has been started, and
it is stated that he will be called in be-
fore the matter has gone much further.
The congressman from Tennessee has
not been charged with wrongdoing Of
any kind, but it is stated that he is
one of the members of congress who
has gotten more rural routes and more
Jobs than the average, and that many
OF these cause considerable outlay by
the government without revenue.
Getting political jobs is one Of the
congressman specialties. He has al
ways looked after his friends, and if
there is job open in any part of the
country he generally mana5es to get a
republican from the First district into
it. This has been one of the reasons of
the congressman's success. He is rare
Iy heard in debate, and on the floor of
the house it would seem that there is
little to him, but when it comes to get
ting appropriationsfor his district or
jobs for his friends, he is "there with
the goods"
