The policy of the United states to. ward Alaska should be preci-c.y what it has been toward al. rue other sec. tious Of tnr country during their piO- neer days. The government should make the Indians wards of the govern meut and provide for them without eZ- pense to the pCople ,tbe djs,vc,, and ic should permit ,he UeUpie to make and administer theirOwa laws and levy, collect and expenG their own taxes. The proposition Is so simple tha, 10 one with a true conception o'the Amer joan principles Of government Leed think twice upon it. For more than a century that was the American policy of developing new countries. There is no reason why an exception should te made for Alaska.

Virginia that the early colonists made

the old chief, present to him tomahawk

silver, which is enough to please the eye
of any one, particularly that of an Indian.

Is very necessary to have artisans Of

ston county,A Mississippi where he prac-
tieed his profession as a lawyer during
the sittings of the circuit court of
Lowndes county, being an old-time
friend of my wife's father, the late Daniel
Williams, probate clerk for twenty years
of the said Lowndes county. He always
made his headquarters at Daniel Will
liams house; is where l first became
acquainted with Mr.. Boiling.
Being a virginian, as well as myself,
our theme of conversation In a great
measure was Virginia, and Virginia fam
lilies. During our talks he informed me
that he had the veritable tomahawk Of
>the old Chief Powhatan, which had been
in possession Of his first wife's ancestors
for at least 175 years. (These converse
tons with Mr.. B. were about 1861.
The Old Relic.
1.-THE tomahawk is very unique. The
blade Is about two inches broad; in the
top or head is a bowl for a pipe The
handle is of curled maple and very dark
from age and has hole leading from the
bowl of the pipe. At the end there is a
silver band also about the middle of the
handle. The design is very elaborate.
The blade Is inlaid with silver The
workmanship is rather rude. Any one
doubling its antiquity would be at once
convinced that 1t is what is claimed the
veritable tomahawk Of Powhatan, the old
chief.
MIR Boiling would often relate Incl
dents of traditions In the family. One
was the actions of the old chief while
sitting in council celebrating whether
there should be war or peace. If peace
was decided upon would fill the bowl OF
the tomahawk with Kinneakenec, take a
Whit and hand it around to the sub
chiefs. If, on the other hand, war was
decided on, would turn the blade of the
tomahawk outward, holding 1t across his
person.
How Meek Came by the TomahaWk.
THE question now is haw came 1t to be
in the possession of the late Col Sam
uel nj. Meek? What l am now going to
state was told me in person by Colonel
Meek. After the war Colonel Meek in
his attendance ON the circuit court of
Winston county, Mr.. Boiling then being
very old and feeble, could not attend to
some important law cases, kindly vol
unteered his services to his old friend.
And in consideration, Mr.. Boiling said:
I am very poor man; the war has
rendered me penniless and l cannot give
you a money consideration. I freely pre-
sent to you this heirloom of the Boiling
family as l am childless. Powhatan's
tomahawk.' The statements of Colonel
Meek will verify mine. Some tvo years
ego whilst in Columbus he requested me
to write my recollections of the said
tomahawk and all information impaired
to me by Mr.. Boiling, that he would
also write down all facts and he would
have them placed on record in the ar
chives of the chancery court of Lowndes
county, Mississippi; as both of us had
passed our three score and ten II would
