THE DELAYS OF GOVERNMENT.

The delays of the law in doing justice have ceived much attention in times past Dickens IS not the only person who has exposed and satirzed the weary negligence of courts. But the worst courts of which we have knowledge not datory than the American congress in fighting wrongs done in the arbitrary exercise of athority. claim pend ing before congress is subject to indifference and postponements trying any that the old English chancery court was responsible for. Claims some- times get disposed of after almost every immedi- ately interested has died Attention is called to the old claim of Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont. In 1860 she bought and paid for tract of land in San Francisco that cost $40,0O0. She built house it Wright by order of the United States government, seized the property for war purposes. The house was soon afterward destroyed by fire. After the Mrs. Fremont filed in the war department claim for restoration of the seized land, if it could not be restored, for compensation for the property of which she was thus deprived. The government has never done either. For forty years this honored woman, wife of distinguished patriot citizen, who was largely instrumental in securing California to the union, was kept out of her rights. She is dead now. In her later years she was supported by govern ment pension. That ceased with her death, leaving her daughter the only survivor of the family, in- valid 60 years of age, without means of support In several congresses favorable report has been made on Mrs. Fremonts claim; but the bill authorizing payment never became law. This appeasSio. .lne a especially mean and. dishonorable
 the part of great and rich government. It woes seem as if something ought to be done promptly to correct the great wrong done by the appropriation to government use of Mrs. Fremonts homestead.

THE JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.

With the appointment by and the English government of the commissioners to whom the Alaska boundary dispute is te be referred that item in the protocol which the Anglo American joint high com mission of 1898 was asked to take up will be finally disposed of. There twelve items in the protocol as it was originally drawn up, but the third that lating to the Alaska Canadian boundary, was one which Proyoked the warmest discussion. and in the end led, by the impossibility of agreement. the abandonment of further negotiations Sir Wilfred Laurer, the Canadian premier, stated that until by diplomacy otherwise. this of international disagreement was removed, he did not to con- tnue negotiations between the countries for the set clement of other questions.

AS TO "SECRET SOCIETIES."

There seem to be some men who, though members of secret societies. that E raternal and benevolent organizations, have little conception of the ob- ;gations they assumed when they became members; they also in other ways mistake the nature and scope of their obligations. To the nonsecret society man there certainly is something incongruous in the free and easy manner in which the proceedings of some societies bandied about. The outsider, too, may f0rgiven if he form erroneous opinions to the
 of the obligations taken by men who are mem
 secret and fraternal bodies. In any of those with which we are acquainted we know of no obliga- ,tions or oaths, that prevent from doing his full duty ctizen In fact, We may be permitted to add that in all is the spirit of patriotism and do ing good to your neghbor urged without reservation. There is not secret society extant, so far we know, which binds its members to protect member who has violated shs laws of the land. They teach equal justice 10 all and demand special privileges for nonsp They teach charity and helpfulness of each he cultivation of the spirit of brothsrly love.
 other falls, they believe in raising him up and
 him upon his feet provided that he shows a sense of errors committed. It would be a strange sort of fraternafism that would permit member to malign and attempt to destroy another without re- buke, and for other than the qualification of petty spite and personal malice Indeed, such person in fraternal organization is but the merest .interloper and veriest poltroon.r
 We are not defending secret organizations. There is healthy minority of people who condemn all such, and with their opinions find fault. If man wants to be "ner," we reason why he should not graty his desires; if he prefers to hold himself aloof that is his privilege But no man should ally himself with any organization, matter by what name it is called. who has not within him the principles of manhood, which ought to influence his daily life in measure, in whatever station in life he may be called.

 Inferior schools in Nome that families will be compelled to to the states in order to the school advantages they desire for their children We do not know what the plans of the present board of school directors may bebu sincerely trust that they will not be of niggardly character The summer vacation will begin next Monday, and we think the board should in the very future their intentions to the kind of schools it Is proposed to maintain during the next school year.

j. recent writer says, and we think, wisely, that if we could only train the mind to look at today trouble and annoyance from the standpoint of the future it would be much easier to bear Very true. It is the anticipation of evil out of present threat menace that does us the most harm. Tragedies oi today looked hack upon tomorrow must of en shrink into insigni6cance. Obstacles become less as we view them from future stance. A man who is in trouble is more likely to escape the severest quences he is able to keep his balance until today is run out and tomorrow is yesterday.
