Stewards Prophecy Realized.

When, shortly before his death in 1872, William H. Seward was asked what he believed to be the greatest achievement of his public career, he an- swered, "The annexation of Alaska" He added, however, But the American people will not grasp the value of that acquisition for a third of century yet" This shows that Seward, the em- pire builder, was also prophet. Sew ard has been dead for thirty-iive years, and it is only in recent times that his countrymen have appreciated the im- portance of Alaska as a possession. Strong opposition was offered in the house of representatives in 1867 to making the appropriation of $7,2000 000. the price which Seward paid to Russia for the province. Said one of annexa- tion's opponents in that chamber, "All that Alaska will ever be able to pro- -duce are polar bears .and icebergs." For several years a nickname for the region was Stewards Folly" But time has fully vindicated Seward.--Leslie's Weekly.
