When J. Edward Addicks started in
eight or nine years ago to be United
States senator from Delaware the feel
ing was general that he would get
there" Delaware is a small State and
Addieks' "wad" is a big one But Del
aware didn't want Addicks to represent
her in the United States senate. and
she has said so so plainly and persist
emily that at last Addicks is convinced
that she means what she says, and that
he can't change her mind. So he yes
terday withdrew from the long contest
which he has waged, and though per-
haps he didn't have his country's good
in mind when he decided to withdraw
there can be no doubt that he has done
his country a good turn by withdraw
ing. Now Delaware can have such men
as she wants for senators, or, at least,
others than Addicks. She has fought a
good fight, and made a good record.
Nothing in her history becomes her bet
ter than the long and successful resist
ance she has made to Addicks.

ALASKA'S WILD FLOWERS.
Described by a Woman Who Knows

DSSSAAc~N w q " OAloAA w NV AAAAoNa
and Loves Them.
Mrs. Volney r. Hoggatt, native of
Kentucky, is with her husband, Judge
V. T. Hoggatt, at the Riggs. Mrs.
Hoggatt is now an enthusiastic Alas
kan and talking of the country and the
one hundred and thirty varieties of
beautiful wild flowers, said to repre-
sentative of the STAR"
People who have never visited the
territory of Alaska and are not famil-
lar with it's resources and conditions
generally naturally are little incred-
ulous when we speak of the soil, the
botanical experiments and conditions
that exist and have existed perhaps
centuries before this great empire came
under our government. Z"
From time immemorial, since the
first sowing of the seed in this north
land by the hand of the All-divine
Planter, the wild flower has borne life
from its sail and lifted its graceful
head and beautiful face upturned to the
sun and blue sky, with as much vigor
and subsistence as any flower in Cali
fornia. AS many as one hundred and
thirty varieties of wild flowers have
been found in the district of Nome, be-
tween the sixty-sixth and sixty fourth
degrees north latitude, along the coast
of Boring sea. I have spent hours and
days among the hills and lowlands
gathering the little waxen- petal flowers
of every tint and color-so beautiful
nd 6ai mi in tnStI1po hat
they seemed as you studied them that
the sweet breath of heaven had but
merely touched them and left the
bushes of love messages upon their Pc
tails. I found myself acquiring some
what of a persistent fad, in searching
for these feather tinted flowers, that l
might find one to outrival the other in
color. I have walked miles upon the

river "a name very appropriate to this
river from its torturous windings) in
search of the cowslip. of the deep yell

edge. They seemed conscious that 1
was in search for them, for they were
! in hiding here and there among the
driftwood.
THE foot hills and lowlands that
slope down to the sea. through the
months of June, July and August, are
veritable gardens of wild flowers, moss
es, ferns, etc. The reindeer moss is the
moss upon which the reindeer subsists;
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1903-02-06

it takes the place of grass and grows
everywhere in abundance. It is of a
silvery gray and various shades Of
green; turns gray after frost but re-
mains nutritious. This moss forms
beds everywhere for the wild flowers
and ferns. As you wander through the
| lowlands following the small streams
| toward the majestic SawtoOth range
with its snoW-white caps-forming a
background to the soft old green of the
foothills below, covered with wild flow
ers, you see a picture of grandeur and
beauty.
Among hese foothills flowers are to
be founl in extraordinary growth and
strength; the white and blue violet.
sweet williams, bluebells, lilies of the
valley, buttercups, marguerites as large
and beautiful as the cultivated ones.
The tall forget-me-nots in the rich,
delicate blue, and the white, can be
found by the acre, spreading its fra
GRANGE. These, to my mind, are the
most bewilderingly beautiful Of all.
| There are a number of varieties of
ferns also-the species of the maiden
hair fern, the broadleaf, the old woods
fern, etc. Then, too, there is the little
delicate flower that pops its head up in
the spring as soon as the birds begin
their song-onIy not so early in Alaska
as in more moderate climates where
they have early springs-but it barely
waits until the snow disappears. You
will find one here and there, wherever
the full sun rays touch the earth you
will find one of these frail blossoms.
The indoor plants and cultivated plants
thrive we'll; they can be seen in many
of the homes of those who were
thoughtful enough to take with them
into this country few sprouts or seed;

has proven successful and interesting"

A LESSON EOIe IOWA,

Iowa has just learned something.
One of her statutes makes it a peniten-
tiary offense for a bank officer to re-
ceive deposit, knowing his bank to be
insolvent. At DEBORAH a national bank
president, convicted in a State court of
that offense, was sentenced to five
years Imprisonment He appealed.
The Supreme court at Washington de-
cides that Iowa must keep hands off
President Easton, of DEBORAH, or go
about depriving him of his liberty in a
wholly different way. The opinion is
by Mr.. Justice Shiras. ''It is not COM
petent for State legislatures to inter-
fere. whether with friendly or hostile
intentions, with national banks or their
officers in the exercise of the powers
bestowed on them by the general gov
eminent" he says. Undoubtedly a
State has the legitimate power to define
and punish crimes by general laws ap-
plicable to all persons within its juris-
diction. So likewise it may declare, by
special laws, certain acts to be criminal
offenses when committed by officers or
agents of its own banks and institu-
lions. But it is without lawful power
to make such special laws applicable to
banks organized and operating under
the laws of the United States"
Probably President Easton can be got
into Jail if patience and justice hold out
but so far he has decidedly the best Of
the situation. Those who are trying to
punish him need persistence and more
knowledge of the law than they have
hitherto shown.

MERETED MEDALS.

Brave men who go to war and do the
fighting well deserve the medals they
sometimes get, but medals may also be
merited by some of those who do not do
the actual fighting. King Edward VII
has conferred a medal upon officers of
his transport service for efficiency in
the oversee transportation of troops
during the recent wars in South Africa
and China. In this connection it comes
out that when the last of the Boer pris-
oners have been returned to South At
RIGA the record will show $4,000 men
conveyed in government transports be-
tween South Africa and all parts of the
world without the loss Of single hui
man life. There were only two mishaps,
the loss Of transport with 315 horses
in st. Helena bay and the breaking of
the shaft of another steamer near Eng
land. The mileage made was 5000, 0OO
miles to prosecute a war 5000 miles
away. China required the transporta-
ton of $4,000 troops of all ranks-a larg-
er number than it was supposed Eng
land could muster for the Boxer war
while the Boer war was pending.
This was certainly good work. If the
whole British army were in as good
shape as the transport service it would
be a much better army than it is.

CHENA'S ChNSORS.

Awhile ago it was announced that the
Board of Censors in China had memoir
ialized the Empress Dowager, asking
her to resign the reins of government
and retire into private life. 1t appears
that the censors are body of scholars
especially appointed by the Emperor,
to whom are by law entrusted the care
of manners and customs, the investiga-
ton Of all public offices within and
without the capital, the duty of dis
eliminating between the good and bad
performance of the business transacted
in these and between the depravity and
uprightness of the officers employed,
the duty of urging it's members to ut
ter each his sentiments and reproofs,
in order to cause officials to be dill
gent in their attention to their daily
duties, and to render the government
of the Empire stable. The censors are
fifty-six in number, and are distributed
throughout the capital and provinces.
No Mandarin, however exalted in rank,
is exempt from their attacks, and even
the Son of Heaven has to submit to
their criticisms.
We hope these bold censors are still
alive. A fearless Board of Censors
would be good thing for any coun-
try. and if China has one it is not SO
far behind the times as some think.

The Boston Herald makes these quiet
but pertinent remarks: The point made
in favor of the proposition to double the
salary Of the President Of the United
States, thus increasing it to 100000, is
that the expenses Of living have become
so much higher as to make the rise ap-
propriate. We are moved to inquire in
this connection if those who advocate
the advance on this ground realize how
much the position they take implies.
If this increase in the price of living
bears hard upon the president, why not
also upon the people? If the state of
the case calls for so much additional
salary there. most certainly it must
mean the pcopriety Of substantial addi-
ton to laborers wages. Before the leg

The Muskogee (Oklahoma) Times
says that Indian characteristics are
very peculiar, and because of this. in
the segregation and allotments of In
dian lands, the Dawes commission and
the tribal government have met with
unexpected difficulties at every turn.
The effect of any cause that would nat
urally follow, were the parties concern
ed white men, is not at all certain with
an Indian. For instance: The other
day some fullbloods came in and went
to Chief Porter's office to see about
their deeds. The deeds We're there all
right, signed and ready for delivery,
but the Indians refused to take them.
They said no, let them stay. We do
not want them, we might lose then
and they refused to accept the deeds.
Now, according to the rules of the de-
partment, the land cannot be sold or
leases be approved until the deed is
delivered. And the Indians wont take
the deeds.

The number of men employed as
teachers in the public schools. of this
country is slowly but steadily decreas-
ing. According to William T. Harris,
United States commissioner of educa-
tion, the percentage of male teachers in
the public schools in 1870 was Al per
cent. In 1900 the percentage was only
20. The reasons for this decrease are
easily found. The work does not offer
as great inducements to men as it once
did. Teachers in secondary schools are
now required to be specialists, and the
salaries are not enough to attract men
to make a life career in this field. Wo-
men En- increasing numbers have grad
ually taken their places. In point of
training they are as well fitted for the
work, and in point of temperament bet
ter adapted to handle children.

The largest bird cage ever built is to
be a part of the government exhibit at
the st. Louis exposition. Those in
charge of the government novelties to
be displayed at st. Louis have decided
to include in them some of the finest
specimens from the geological gardens
of washington. There was some doubt
as to the propriety of putting wild
beasts on exhibition, but after some de-
liberation it was decided to be feasible
to make a monster bird display. Ac-
cordingly, cage 1870 feet long, so feet
wide and SO feet high is to be built of
gas pipes and wire netting at a cost of
$4,000. 1t will be constructed under
the direction of DR.. James L. Baker,
the superintendent of the United States
Geological Gardens at Rock Creek
Park. In this great Enclosure there
will be birds of all kinds from every

SUCCESSFUL YEAR
FOR THE ST. PAUL ROAD
Year Just Closed Shows a Large Increase
In Earnings.

- A~aA
A most successful year is being
brought to close by the Milwaukee
& ST. Paul road. The statement for
May showed an increase Of 6 per cent.
in earnings as compared with those of
the same month, 1902. For the
eleven months ended May 81, the
gross earnings show an increase of 4
per cent, expenses an increase OF 4per
cenG. and net earnings an increase of
5 per cent. as compared with the
corresponding period in 1902.
In official quarters it is stated that
the earnings for June will be approx.
imately the, same as the previous
month, in which case gross earnings
for the year would be something like
s47, 300,0 900, which compares with
S45: $4,000 in the preceding year,
while net earnings would approach
$4,000, 900, compared with SIS, 416, 900
in 1902.
During the last year the company
has constructed new lines principally
in the way OF extensions aggregating
thirty-nine miles and the interest on
the funded debt has been reduced by
