RUSSIA vs.. JAPAN.

At q recent meeting of the
Congregational minister, held in
San Francisco, Rev. G. nj. Harris
laid aside his bible and lifted his
voice in behalf of. the Japanese
in their war for Christianity.
Like most superficial readers,
Mr.. Harris is incorrect. 1t is
the Russians who are fighting,
though indirectly, in behalf of
civilization and Christianity. For
centuries, Russia. q buffer"
state, has rolled back the Tartar
invasions, and thus preserved
European civilization and Chris
tianity, at the expense almost of
her national existence.
For two or three centuries the
Tartars almost dominated Rus
STA, as the Moors did Spain.
While Russia ever fought for the
extension of her empire, she has
also been mainly instrumental in
saving Europe from the yellow
peril"
Y If the Japanese succeed, the
yellow nations will combine
against the civilized and Christian
world, and drive all the European
and American merchants and
missionaries from China and
Japan. This is a war of the
white race and Christianity
against the yellow race and
heathenism. What little civil
cation China and Japan have re-
deived was forced upon them at
the point Of the bayonet. Not
withstanding the tyranny of their
rulers, the Russian serfs, since
their emancipation, have adj
vanced in civilization far more
than have the Chinese and
Japanese.

DESPERATE ISSUE HUNTERS

There is evidence that the silly
season in campaign work is at
hand. AS a preliminary, some
of the uncautious and shallow
headed Democrats are telling
how large the expenditures OF
the United States government
have been under President Roose-
welt and how much smaller they
were under President Madison.
We must admit that the differ
ence is great, but it is not easy
to see anything in the figures
that should cause Republicans
Of the present time to reproach
themselves or to fear o loss of
public confidence in their capaci
ty for good management. The
population of the United States
when Madison was inaugurated
was about 100000. It is now
over eleven times that amount,
or nearly $4,000, 900. Does any.
body claim that there ought not
to be a corresponding increase
in the running of the govern.
ment ? If so, that person, for
his own credit, should initiate
Judge Parker's silence rather
than make public confession of
his own foolishness.

that her son stands a splendid
chance of being nominated and
elected, and she will not let a
paltry million stand in the way
of his greatest dream. 1t is a
dream, all right, and no hop

one.

Uncle Sam is going to take a

controlled by the Southern Pa
cific Railroad.

Cats have the reputation of be.

the cat washes herself, but bad
weather when she ticks her coat
against the grain, or washes her
face over her ears, or sits with
her tail to the fire.

MANY COME
More Than 5000 Persons
 Arrive and Depart

More than 5000 persons arrived and departed for ports in Southeastern Alaska in the month of March, says the Seattle Times. Figures in the report of Harbormaster Jensen for the last 30 days show the trade with the north as we'll as the passenger traffic.
 The advance figures show that the exports last month will be an increase over those of February. Oriental ship ments were unusally heavy. The, im- ports will be light, as the vessels of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha Company have been withdrawn from the run.
 In March 45 sailing vessels departed with a tonnage of 59, ,3S6, and 55 arrived with 6 tonnage of 72,749. The total tonnage of sailing vessels and steam ships for the month was 32,OS5.

Immediately on the opening of nsvi- gation and before any steamers can reach Dawson from either Whitehorse or St. Michael, four steamers, the Monarch, Rock Island, Layelle Young and the Cudahy, will leave Dawson for Cinema and Fairbanks with 500 tons of American goods.

AS TO ALAsKA's POPULATION

Commenting upon a statement made by the Daily Alaskan that the United States senate had found it necessary to create 8 Fourth judicial division in Alaska on account of theincreaSing liti- gation resulting from gain in pOpula- tion, the Bourbon Sitka Alaskan says;
 "The Third division now is so large and the population so sparse and scat tered and the means of transportation so uncertain and so expensive that many in the small settlements who feel agrieved on account of wrong done to them, submit rather than to try to fol- low up the court whose Sittings are hundreds of miles away. If the Popu- lation of Alaska could be concentrated in the southeastern section one judge could get away with all the business. "
 Of course the Sitka paper does not desire to be understood as contending that the sparseness of Alaska's popula- tiou makes one of the necessities for another judicial division, it's words to the contrary notwithstanding, so we will consider it to mean that the great area rather than the great population of the Third judicial division requires that it be again divided. The proPosi- tion will be granted freely. Yet the demand for the division did not arise until different portions of that division became populated. Among the reasons urged for the division of his district by Judge Wickersham was the fact that people are settling in so many different portions of it that one man cannot hold court at each place the business of which demands it, and the distances be- tween people and the court is often times so great that injustice is endured as an alternative rather than the ex- pense of time and money necessary to secure justice. None of these cOnten- tions could be trueor have weight were it not for the fact that the different portions of the great area contained in Judge Wickersham's district are be- coming populated Since the creation of the Third judicial division, the prom ising towns of Valdez, Kyak, Catalla, Fairbanks and Cinema have sprung into existence, and all the other towns have grown in population and business importance.
 The fact that Alaska is rapidly gain ing in population is so plainly evident that only one possessing the opacity of an ordinary tory would question it.

President Roosevelt is certainly dis counting the result of the presidential election this year if the report is true that heis already selecting his successor for 1908.

Diplomacy.

Russia having charged indirectly that

had become the nightmare of Europe in
the matter of the Russo-Japanese war.
this government promptly and good-natur-
edly renewed its assurances of neutrality.
The yarn scarcely deserved official atten-
tfon, because it was so manifestly whine
based upon palpable misstatement of the
case. On yesterday Count Cassini called
on the said John X Hay and formally
thanked him for the governments deliver
ance. That is to say, Russia having in
vented a yarn to our prejudice, the Rus
sian ambassador calls and thanks the Sec
retary of State for Immediately putting an
end to It, Ours. be it remembered, Is the

compare very favorably with that of Rus
sia, which, although tricked out with even

uncertainty which finds it's surest reflection

from dividends. The war in the far east is
also disturbing factor, leaving the pres
