DON'T DO IT.

The suggestion of Governor Brady of Alaska, that this great Territory shall be divided into two States. eventually. and that they receive the names of Lin- coin and Seward, Is one which. we hope. will not receive much favor. True, 1t is likely to be many years before the pop uIation win be sufficient to form two States, but the matter will be discussed and we want to go on record against any proposition to abolish the present name. 1t is thoroughly appropriate, sounds well and should not be changed. The Rus sfans wrote it Aliaska, and 1t is said to be corruption of the Indian word Al-ay- ek-sa, meaning 'the great land," and cer- tainly that name fits 1t exactly.
 As Washington was the first President. and in some respects the greatest, 1t was perhaps meet and appropriate that State should bear his name, but it should be the last and only one to be named for a President If the practice is once begun nobody knows when or where 1t would stop, and certainly there have been Pres idents who were more deserving of the honor than Lincoln. If the partisans of that President insist on bestowing honors on him let them do it in some other and more appropriate manner than by nam ing a State for him. And the same ob- 5ections apply to the name of Seward. though there would be some degree of 1. appropriateness in his case. because he was largely instrumental in negotiating the treaty by which Alaska became part of our country. That, however, is not & sufficient reason for naming & State for ! him.
 But ths main objection to Brady's prop osit1on Is that 1t would abolish the pres- ent names and for that there is no de- fence. The disposition in some quarters to do away with expressive and appro- priate Indian names Is to be deplored. When applied to localities they always have a meaning and that meaning ex- pressaa something or fits some peculiar ity of the place. Certainly "the great lana nta e country nearly twelve times as large as Alabama, and we are sure that no objection can be made to the word. either as to length. orthography or sound. Let them make two or more States of 1t when the time comes, but keep the present name unchanged.

The more or less esteemed Leavenworth Tinss. discussing the Giles case, thinks s-there are thousands of colored people in Eha Southern States which have passed laws practically distranchising the negro, who are more qualified to act as electors than the white people who passed on the bill which deprived them of the right to vots."
 But does not The Times realize that its comparison reaches very far beyond the Legislature of Alabama?. As the su- preme Court of the United States has vir- tnazly endorsed the legal and constitu- aonal points involved in the Alabama suffrage requirement Is 1t not obvious that The Times places the Judges below the negroes in point of intelligence and aual- ifcations9 The Times has a big contract.
