Many Of the new waists are extreme

What Alaska Asks.

Among the questions upon which the transmississippi congress is invited to express an opinion at the session in this city is the granting of full terri torial government for Alaska. A fair share of the delegates to the congress have had some experience under ter ritorial government, and know precise ly what it is and how it is administered. They have seen that of the Alaskans who are present at the congress all save Gov. Brady favor the establish ment of territorial government for the district; and if they inquire further into the matter, they will find that on this subject the people of Alaska, par ticularly those of Southeastern Alaska are divided in substantially identical proportion.
 There are at the present time not less than 5oOOO white people justly entitled to he called permanent resident of Alaska. This is a larger number of white people than was in any territory of the United States at the time of the passage by congress of an act organ izing the territory. As Western men, the members of the congress do not have to be told that the men who mi grate to new territory, such as Alas ka, with view to developing the re- sources of the country, as rule will compare favorably in intelligence, in enterprise and in capacity for self government with like number of peo- pie in any community on earth. As Western men, they are able to realize further the hopelessness of securing from congress intelligent legislation on matters purely local to a western terri tory or state. Yet, under existing con- ditions, congress alone can legislate even on the pettiest local subject for Alaska.
 Alaska is entitled to territorial government. There are no more diff culties in administering such govern ment in Alaska than were presented at the time of organizing each of the older territories. The Alaskans surely should be permitted to have local legislature, and at least the measure of home rule provided under the territori- al system.
 The indorsement by the transmissis- sippi congress of the proposition to give Alaska a territorial government, would have great weight with congress; and it is sincerely to be hoped that the congress may do thus much toward forwarding the interests of the great northern territory.-Seattle P.-I.
