HAVE EYES, BUT SEE NOT.

One does not have to ie the posscSs0r of great amount of wisdom to discern the ea-e and iac!lit, with which the "authorites at Washington listen to the tales told them of the "maui.o,d wIcoJns>, that are rampant in Alaska. But whisper something: :: concerning tie moral urptude ui the people ol Ala-- ka and a hundred jlcka-san ears stretched 10 drink it in. We say drink it in' advjsedIy deiyng all critic sm.
 It matters not the source o! these accusations of yc- ness and wantonness. They may be made by the veriest fakir or the blackest of Wh,pd >cpuchycs; they listened to with diligence and believed with out question. But let five score men, Who inter ested in Alaska and know tic couditjors-ouc hund- red men of fair repute home and abroaGjclI these same "authoritieo" of the wrongs inflicted upon US and the outrages perperacd; the neglect ard ind f. erence with which Alaska has always been treated, and their words and lead ngs will fall upon ears that deaf the stones of Babylon.
 A nice condition of affairs i, it not A govern ment and congress read y-eagrr, in factto believe that the sins and trarS-rcsSions oi Alaska black the tents of Kedar, and absolutely unwilling to redress wrongs indifferent to needs.
 In the last issue of this paper had occasion 10 refer to one ". B. Palnore. We believe that he is doctor of divinity. His province 1t is to cure sin sick souls. He to Alaska last summer, turned 10 his nome Tn the altogether @IhliY Cl(N of St Louis, and heralded through the length and breadth of the land that he the just ,ho had escaped from a modern ~odom and Gomorrdh. Perhaps the good" mans eyes have since been looking northward to see the smoke from the wicked city ascending heavenward. At any rate. Mr. Pal to have nothing but ''w!ck "dness, :" perhaps, chiefly because he was looking for it, and nothing else. He nothing of the working of un equal laws, of just taXation oi people aboring under almost every handicap to develop frozen greatness of the American republic Rev. Palnorts vision not Of the earth, earthy, it would seem. His pious soul shocked by the wickcdness that he saw. Did he, while he tarried in the wicked city, try to warn the people of the of their ways, and preach to them of sin, of righteousness and judgment to come2 Not so far as we know. But when he got to "the states" he lifted up his voice like trumpet and shouted; he cried aloud and sparel not Mr. Palmorc is evidently !ong-disance spouer. No doubt he said to himself in his uuctuous way while in Nome, "Ephraim is turned to his idols; let him alone; let him alone"
 We do not say that Mr. Palniorcs criticisms were not altogether unfounted. But had he been a wi,er broader and moro discerning man, instead of wrath full denunciations of real imaginary wicked- ness, in spirit of Christian charity, he could have clerical spectaclos, he would have other thin4e which he might have helped o remedy without inter- fering with his apparent mission clerical rcfornrr

A SMALL PRIVILEGE.

It is related of certain official of one of the departments at Wash- ington, that once when a batch of aiiiiavits were filed with him, he remarked: Have the people of Alaska nothing to do but make ailidavils?n
 In good sooth We might answer the somewhat lacetious hure&ucrat that perhaps they haven't-whcn the government at Washington + in question. There are many mat tcr- in which atiilavits would be Tn order were there an opportunity for believing that they would bc e.licac!ous. Bat observation has taught us that 70 make and file an affidavit in Washington is usually q waste 0i time, gray matter and energy. When we want To reach ;he governmental, or even de partmcntal ear We will employ some fakir with glib tongue and a smooth presence, rather than d sheaf of aIlidavilS, though they hc made by the flower oi the nurth.'
 Atlidavit-uaking, the Washing ton burcaUcrat might with truth nave renaI krd, Is not much Of q business whether purs sued in Alaska or in the nations capital. But there is some excuse for 1t m Al a>ka. 1t serves as t sort Oi vent.
