The arrival of MT. G O. Mitchell and his purchase of some copper properties on Prince William sound is one the most important events in the history of this section of Alaska.
 We have long been aware of the fact that rich properties existed near tide water along the sound, and we also know of the hard strug- gles the locators have to do their assessment work and hold the lodges. They are still struggling, and will have to continue till men like Mir. Mitchell arrive and pur- chase.
 The fact that Mir. Mitchell has found ore here worthy of his ac- eeptance, will no doubt induce others to come and see what we have for sale. And seeing, there Is not the least doubt of their secur- ing mining property.
 MT. Mitchell has begun opera tions on his new acquisition, and will very likely keep the work going. This will give labor to those who want it, and may be carried on all winter. This is the begin ming of a wage list tributary to Valdez.

poLLrrLoN OF TIE P4ss4IC.

The measure for whose re-enactment the New
Jersey legislature convenes to-day in extra ses-
sion has at least two things to recommend II
The redemption Of one Of the flthest streams
in the whole civilized world is contemplated.
Moreover instead Of compelling each OF the
communities which are responsible for dehilng
the Passaic TO act Independently, it is proposed
to enable them to proceed collectively. Nhen
il comes TO arranging the details Of the law
many minor questions will arise. What Is
worth doing at all is worth doing in the best
possible manner. It will be pity if scheme
so admirable IN its purpose is not properly
worked out.
The people Of New-York City, and especially
those who live along the western shores OF
Staten Island take a lively interest in this mat
fer. In point of volume doubt the metropo-
lis contributes more impurity TO New-York Bay
than the Passaic sewer will. The sewage OF
this city, though, is promptly diluted by the
waters of the Hudson and carried out TO sea
without becoming visible, That of the New
Jersey pipe line will be discharged into mar
row passage, where its concentrated discolora-
ton and poisons will work injuriously in many
WAYS The fisheries of Arthur Kill will be
paralyzed. the health of residents Of the Bor-
ough of Richmond will be menaced, and the
value Of property in that vicinity viii suffer
sadly These same effects will undoubtedly
be experienced by Perth Amboy and other To-
calities in New-Jersey. Just at present, how
ever, we are looking at the matter from the
point Of view of New-York. The interest shown
in the matter by Governor Odell. therefore, is
exceedingly gratifying to the metropolis.
There is a simple way in which to get around
the objections here raised. If New-Jersey will
purify her sewage before discharging the lat
ter into Staten Island Sound she will disarm
criticism Sand filters alone. unless extensive
will probably be inadequate. The addition OF
septic tanks TO promote decomposition and
of settling basins in which to precipitate sludge
NAV be requisite. The general design of the
plant must be governed by conditions and 1t
can be safely left TO sanitary and hydraulic
engineers, plenty of whom are available. All
that is here contended for is that the feasibility
of complete puTifcatien has been demonstrated
repeatedly on both sides of the Atlantic within
the last fifteen or twenty years. The question
then arises whether NeW7Jerseg will undertake
the task spontaneously. If the Trenton leglSlat-
ure fails to give the matter prompt and thor
euqh consideration such neglect will be occa-
sion for widespread dissatisfaction. Possibly
it may be judieious to intrust the final decision
to the commission which constructs the sewer;
but pains should he taker % give that body
sufficient authority to act.
New-York tribune., 1903-04-21
ON THE SIDE OF CORRUPTION.

II was hoped rather than expected that Gov
ernor HUM of Delaware would sign the Dill re-
pealing the Voters Assistant law. which makes
the business Of buying votes sale ana easy
and the fact that he has let it die by WlthhoIu-
ing his signature causes little surprise mas
nnucb however. as he has issued an address in
which he takes much credit to himself for keep
ing the law in force, it is allowable to wonder
WHY he did not add to his moral concentment
by means Of bold and resolute veto instead
of permitting the bin to perish through MS III
action His present statement Of principles
and reasons would have produced better ef-
feet if ii had taken the form Of veto message.
AS a response to general censure it is neither
coura geous nor conclusive.
Since the repeal bill came into his hands the
Governor, as he informs US, has had agents
scattered through the State, who have ascer-
tanned for his benefit that large proportion of
the voters are so densely ignorant that they
are unable to express their wishes at the polls
without help The ballot is a puzzle which their
untutored minds are utterly incapable of solv-
ing. and government of the people, by the peo-
ple. for the people is consequently destined to
perish from the State of Delaware unless they
are permitted to take earnest, sagacious instruc-
tors into the booths with them. OF course 1t
would be more creditable to the commonwealth
and more satisfactory in every way if voter
could be trusted alone with his ballot, but, con-
ditions being what they are, the Governor feels
sure that such an experiment would be dan
gerous.
If Governor Hum had given due consideration
to both sides of this painful question it might
have occurred to him that law which renders it
entirely unnecessary for voter to know what
his ballot means inevitably perpetuates the
ignorance which he deplores. That it also per
fectly serves the convenience Of men who want
to buy elections and who are all rejoicing in the
defeat of the repeal bill is a fact which the
Governors specious argument does not obscure
in the slightest degree He has affronted the
honest citizens Of his own State and respectable
public sentiment throughout the country.
New-York tribune., 1903-04-21
TRE TTNNEL RULG.

AS the end Of the legislative session ap-
proaches some anxiety is felt lest the bills to
make possible IA New-York Central and the
Pennsylvania Railroad terminal Improvements
shoRld By any chance fail. The bills. though
introduced early. have made exceedingly slow
progress as is likely to happen with bills OF
that sort which are unopPosed. but in which
great corporations are supposed TO have an in
terest This is for some reason as mysterious
as the reason why certain other corporation
bffis Ike those OF Senator Goodsen and Sena-
ter 1llcex, seem 10 have self-propelling force
which carries them forward with fearful rapid
fly in spite Of indignant public protest. why
It is that good pill affecting corporations ia
vorabIy almost always sticks and bad one
seems TO 90 On creased runners is subject
worthy of the study of curious and scientific
minds Fer the present it is sufficient TO note
that these terminal bills belong 10 the class
that the honest legislator can with difficulty
convince himself to be proper and in the public
interest notwithstanding a public demand for
them. So il is not surprising that they have
hung fire TIL well into the last week of the
sion. II is easy TO see that the careful law
makers might have been unable to find out Just
what was in them until the last minute, when
CONCERN for them was acute and their merits
would be brought personally to their attention
Therefore we may discount the suggestion
that somebody ia Albany is holding up the
bills and may hope for the fulflment OF the
promise that the bills for both improvements
viii be put through to-day or tomorrow IL
there were any holG up it would be quite as
much hold up OF the people OF this city as OF
the railroad companies. Nc doubt the COM
NAMES want TO carry out their terminal plans
At least one Of them has begun the enterprise
of its own initiative, and the other, after long
delay in responding 10 public demand has
finally undertaken a scheme Of improvements
which II IS doubtless sincerely desFous to carry
out. But II is not the railroads which are prin-
cipally concerned after all: it is the travelling
nublic. For years New-York has put UP Win
ferries as the cnIy means Of reaching the great
railroad lines centring at Jersey City. Like
wise for wears il has been groaning under the
sasiction of the Park-aye. tunnel, which Is hot

I'LL TREATED TREES.

Some otherwise intelligent people seem to
have queer notions about trees. We are not
sure whether they think trees require Tor thelr
welfare treatment identical with that OF lamp
posts and telegraph poles, or that they reSaIu
a tree in a city street as public enemy Which
should be destroyed. They surely must holu
one or the other of these views, or else tier
actions grossly belle their beliefs.
Here are some examples of the treatment
given to trees on choice residence street IN one
of the best parts of the city: few OF the trees
have each as much couple OF square yalus
of open soil about them, grassless, OF course
and packed as hard and made as impervlous 10
water as so much well puddled clay. In some
cases the open squares originally LETT ABOUT Tie
trees have been carefully filled in with bits Of
tagging, close up to the trees all around ln
some cases the squares have been carefully
filed with concrete or artificial stone, ntlhg
watertight if not alright around the trees. In
some cases the large tree trunks have care
frllfy been trimmed square with a broadaxe so
that the straight edges of fagstones may Mt
closely against them. 1t may be added that
these are all fine specimens Of elm, linden ana
other trees Before the sidewalks were thus
adjusted to their trunks they were thriving al
most as Iuxuriantly though they were III
their native forests. Now they are beginning
to die and the people are removing some OF
them. saying that there's no use in trying to
grow trees in the city, anyway"
Perhaps they right Perhaps city ought
TO be an unbrokel expanse of masonry and as
phaIt, with not a tree nor a shrub nor blade OF
grass within its bounds. The parks should be
cleared off and covered with asphalt for roller
skating rinks 1t would cost great deal less
to maintain them in that condition. Perhaps
the people, too, might be vanished or coated
from head to foot with some waterproof ana
airproof preparation. Then they would not
need air or water, but would die as these trees
are dying and 1t would cost a great deal less
to keep them
