There could be nothing more
baneful and dangerous to the
social condition of the Southern
states, with their vast negro pop
ulation, than to place conrol Of
all of the public schools of what
ever class in the Union in the
hands and under the absolute
control of the national central
government. But that is what
not few Southern people are
cry ,ug for today. Some Southern
people, in their anxious desire
and feverish Impotence to get
their hands into the national
treasury seem not to care what
will come of1t all, if only they in
their generation shall get share
of the "glue''. Federal control
of popular education in the states
is a most dangerous possibility.
The South should fight against ii
to the end.-N. o. Picayune.

Illinois "soclety." One of its
"queens," the wife of . very rich
man, turns out to be "of
negro Descent" and while
much might be forgiven the
inheritress of millions, "county
society" draws the line at this
point, and the stepson contends
that the hideous fact disqualifes
the woman from receiving any
share of the property. This is a
perplexing legal question, but the
shock involved in the discovery
is as nothing compared with that
within the academic groves of the
University of Chicago, where
also the undhputed "queen of
society" has been exposed as a
"negress." Precisely what are
the functions of a queen of
society in the University of
Chicago we are not clearly in
formed. That famous Institution
of learning has its ewn peculiar
laws. But its variously learned
'professors-as modest as they are
learned-and its highly cultivated
students must claim the sincere
sympathy of the polite world in
their surprising affiiction.-N. ..

PREPARING FOR WINTER

Foreman J. G. Grant one day last week called out the active fire laddtes, and did few "stunts" that were wise and timely. Superintendent Fred Will son of the sawmill had given MT. Grant lot of empty oil barrels, and these were burned out and filled with salt water and placed at convenient points about town for emergency cases of fire. To the water was added 600 pounds of salt, which, it is thought, will prevent freezing, and kaeA 1t in condition for use at any time.
 The extinguishers were also placed in their winter quarters, and other prepar- ations made for the apparatus.
 Next Wednesday night occurs the reg ular meeting of Alert Fire Go. for No- vember, and all members are earnestly requested to be present.

REPUBLICAN, PRIMARIES

All the enthusiastic republicans of Wrangell precinct met at the Council Chamber in Red Mems Hall, Monday evening, in response to call by P. o. Mccormack, committeeman for this precinct, to elect three delegates to rep resent this precinct at the republican territorial convention which meets in Juneau this month.
 After electing M. F. Inman to the chair and Geo. Snyder, as secretary, the meeting proceeded to ballot informally and elected the following three men in the order named:
 PC. MCCORMACK.
 L. M. CHURCHILL.
 GEO. H. BARNES.
 The meeting was devoid of excitement other than that 1t required six ballots to choose the latter two delegates.
 Several rousing speeches were made, and it WAS. on motion, declared to be the sense of the meeting to instruct our delegates to vote in the convention for delegates who will stand for Theodore Roosevelt for president; in case Roose. welt is persistent in his refusal to accept, Wm. H. Taft was declared the favorite. A. V. R. Snyder spoke in caution to the Wrangell delegation, saying, sub stantially: "Thers will, no doubt, be fight in the convention on the subject of territorial government, and sn attempt will likely be made by the northern and interior delegations to pass resolutions condemning the course pursued by Gov ernoy Hoggatt in regard to'the question. Such an attempt should be drowned down. The governor may have made some mistakes, and probably has, yet he is entitled to bis views just the same ss any other man. And the fact that he is our executive, by virtue of appoint. ment by the pstional executive, entities him to the respect of his constituents.
 There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

The buildings on the east side of the ap- prosch to the wharf have been moved ever against the brewery building. A long new building has been added, end all divided up into eomfortable-sized rooms.

Exchange :-"Most men who own a watch think they know all about it. They have the number fixed in their memory in case it is stolen. They could probably pick it out from fifty other watches with their eyes shut. But how many men know that their watch is a compass and will tell north from south as accurately as it will tell the time of day? Stanley, the explorer, did not know 1t until he had groped hls way through the dark continent and met a Belgian sailor on the coast. Any watch is a compass. If you point the hour hand to the sun, the south is exactly half way between the hour and the fig ure XII on the dial. Suppose, for in stance, it is o'clock, point the hand indicating I to the sun aud the TX on the dial Is exactly south, If it is 8 o. clock, point the hand indicating 8 to the sun and the figure X on the dial is due south. No man need get lost if he car ries watch.
