The evidence in the case went to

Senator Platt of Connecticut is

Senator Platt of Connecticut is dead, and the Washington cores pondent to the Oregonian says: "The death of Senator Platt, of Connecticut, probably means that next winter bill will be passed giving Alaska a delegate in con- gress. Cushman's delegate bill would have passed the last session had it not been for Platt. When the senate committee was ready to report, Platt served notice that it would be useless, for he would de- feat the bill. Inasmuch as he had it in his power to carry out his threat, no action was taken, though the bill had twice passed the house. As Platt was the only senator seri- ously opposed to ah Alaska dele gate, 1t is believed such a measure can pass next winter. Platt's death will elevate to the chairmanship of the judiciary committee senator Clark, of Wyoming. This is the first time a western man has had such an important chairmanship. The judiciary is the most impor- tant committee in the senate" It was senator Platt who opposed the Alaska delegate bill because he feared it would be an entering wedge to statehood While SENTI- MEL deplores the demise of any man it must say that it is a benefit to the country for a kind Providence to intervene and remove some of the great men whose ideas of pro- gression and equality have long since become fossilizedi

WHAT IGNORANCE.

As the days, months and years roll along we become more thor oughly convinced that schools for imparting a little common sense and just a grain or two of informa- ton regarding their home country, should be established throughout the United States. During the past week little thing has occurred that thoroughly conyinces us of this fact. 4 lady in Wrangell sent to The Towle Syrup Co.,, St. Paul, for some souvenir spoons, and the reply in part to her letter was as follows:
 '-As soon as transportation opens up with your country, you may ex- pect to receive the spoons, and if not, kindly inform us, as we will make every cndeavor to see that you get them"
 Now wouldn't such ignorance as that. and with firm that has been doing business up in this country, almost make the average school boy lose faith in humanity and all his surroundings? The idea of any business man in the United States waiting for transportation to open to Southeastern Alaskan port where, during the past winter the lowest point reached by mercury VAS 1b deg. above zero, where the greatest depth of snow was 10 inch es, which laid on two days, and where from two to six mail steam CTS have touched every week dur ing the winter, : too ridiculous to think about ex pt with a feeling of comu1issera5ion and pity for those so ignorant.
 For the general information Of those who have this section fixed in their minds as perpetual ice berg, We would say the country has but few drawbacks, namely: The moon which shines very bright ly al times,is made of green cheese, and consequently the people never get moon struck: all oi tLe swift flowing mountain streams run up hill, so that no one ever gets wash el out among the ice-bergs by them: at noon every day fish of all kinds leave the waters and go 5ut on the adjacent lands to feed 6n the big timber; the trees here are smsll, averaging 347 feet in di- ameter and 1892 tall, and the mos quitoes, that are as large as sheep, climb thesee trees and bark. The Alaskan bees are a novel, being about the size of yearling calves; they swarm every month and are housed in the same sized hives used in tyeTy country, The greatest menace to life and property in AL aska is the clam; once every month he breathes, and 1t always causes a tidal wave that engulis everything for miles around. There is also sea serpent fourteen miles long about every port in Alaska, and his particular relish is those fel- lows that come to this country when transportation opens" In this paragraph we have given few peculiatities of this section.
 In conclusion. SENTINEL really hopes that somebody will present .he above company with a pocket geography and q short descriptive circular, that they may read up and inform themselves on Alaska and impart the information to their posterity so that they may not ap- pear so ignorant regarding the best part of their home country.
