Rampant Pioneer
 Dies in Seattle

Intelligence of the death at Seattle on January 21 of Elliot l.. Gaetz has been received Ol Eureka creek by old friends oi the deceased.
 Mir. Gaetz was a pioneer of the Rampant country, having settled in the camp in 1898, where he followed prospecting and mining for a number of years, the dis covery of gold on Eureka creek being recorded in his name. He removed to Seattle some time ago, where he married, and was engaged in business. Heart trouble was the cause of his early death at the age of 36 years. MT. Gaetz was widely known in this part of Alaska, and was highly esteemed by his many friends.

 St. PatriCk's Day

Much interest is already being mani tested in the big Hard Times dance to De given under the management of Camp Hot Springs No. "A, A. B., on the night of St. Patrick, March 17th, at Hot Springs hotel. A masquerade ball was first proposed, but owing to the diff fculty many would have in securing proper material for disguises, the event was changed to hard-times affair, and after winter such as we have just gone through, it's an easy matter for the majority of our population to quail ify at this function. Several valuable prizes have been offered by our mer- chants, and the cake walk contest be- tween Hot. Springs couples will prove a novel and pleasant feature.
 The days are so long and the cold no longer strong that travelling from the creeks will be pleasure.

Dr. Norton. a school teacher, was appointed commissioner at Nulato by MT. Hill.
 In company with his travelling com panion, L. D. Owen,- Mir. Hill pulled out on Sunday morning with his fine string of l3 dogs.

"No, only a wife," was the mat

Rather hard on the wife not to be

the many solitary hours of study
| have devoted to the works of
the mighty thinkers in past
ages and in later times, on this
same subject of race integra-
ton and disintegration-great
historical men such as Plato
and Aristotle and their Contem-
porary Grecian and Roman phil
osophers, 4 d Nautilus, La
Marck, Darwin and Spencer of
the nineteenth century-names
written high on the scroll of
the immortal few in the temple
of Mnemosyne, there to remain
as imperishable as time itself.
From these we learn that the
natural process of race continu-
ance by survival OF the tittest
may be arrested, if not prevent
ed entirely, as can be seen, as
an object lesson, by a glance at
the people of Mexico. 1t is not
pertinent to my purpose to en-
ter upon Il discussion of these
questions in 4 paper like this,
but | do insist that it would
have been consistent with a
statesman's duty to his constit-
uents, the American people,
when addressing them, as Sena-
tor-elect Williams did at Lin
coin, to have treated the race
question in his own vicinity-a
dangerous menace to the peace
and happiness of the people-as
a political philosopher, when
the subject of his address made
it entirely in order to do so.

cal clap-trap is the proper

trouble.
The patriaeh Who is said to
be responsible for the above
profound declaration, seems to
indicate that man born in some
other way might not be So full
of trouble, but failed TO give
the modu5 of the operation. Ac-
cepting the truth Of the state
ment. which all human eXper-
fence has amply verified, we as
sumo what is equally true, that
nations born OF man-using the
word in its generic sense-are
of brief existence, and just rs
full of I Il same brand o t
trouble, but on Il larger and
vastly more extended scale. As
aggregates always partake OF
the nature of their unitieS, it
follows that they are also sub
iect to similar yicissitudeS, -
troublous lives, and ultimate
death. None IN the past have
been exempt from the common
fate, and il is very certain that
zone will be, in the long life OF
our race that is yet to |transpire.
70 90 no farther in the past
than is covered by the history
of our own nation, and take its
natural life as Il fair sample of
all that preceded it, we OBJ
serve that to bring ii into being,
and keep it SO, has been one
continuous struggle against un-
toward and unfriendly Condi-
tons. Like 4 child, it has had
TO fight for its life at every
step, and the worst of all the
enemies it ever had were what
is known as domestic, such as
long time war with the native
Indian tribes, disputes over the
nature OF our governments,
state and national-for the idea
seems to have been that ours is
a conglomerate mixture of all
kinds of soyereignties, with not
much of a head anywhere-and
the perennial crop of uneasy
politicians and dema%ogueS
that has been and yet is, the
peculiar curse Of the republic,
for to them more than to any
other, we owe the wasting,
bloody civil war of the decade of
1850. Thomas II. Benton, in my
humble Judgment, the clearest
thinker OF American statesmen,
said; "the danger to this country
would come from uneasy poll
ticians; its safety from the tran
quill Masses Every year has
proved the truth of that predic-
ton, and it was never more true
than it is at this moment,
The span of my own life covers

the most VeXatious. The pres

erful foreyil asst ever has been,
and quite as demoralizing to the

its greatest Subservance, as |
shall presently endeayor to
show. 1t was only the other
day L man of some national dis
tinction made an address before
the graduating class of our state
university, by invitation of the
authorities of that institution.
His subject was Dixie which
sobriquet was given the south
land in the time of its rebellion
against the authority Of the
general government, and one 1t
is likely to retain as long is
the recollection Of that awful
strife shall dwell in the memoir
les OF the American people.
Among other matter to which he
gave attention, and the chief
one take it, was the Negro, or
is he politely put it, the racial
question. | read that part Of
his address with some interest,
not particularly in what he said,
as in what he might, but did not
say. This orator has long been
in public life, and is, in an in
tellectual way, fairly represen.
tative OF the people who have
honored him in the past, and
who have recently further dis
tinguished him with a seat in
the United States senate-the
Areopagus of America-and the
greatest deliberative body on
earth.
We had 4 right to expect a
man, so honored and SO distin-
@uished, in an address of the
character mentioned, that if he
touched the racial question at
all, he would deal with il frank.
ly, comprehensively and in de.
tail; that our people, less ad-
vised ON the subject, might gain
4 knowledge of the real disturb.
ing element in the society of the
south, and which has made the
continued presence of the Negro
among h white people, Il
source OF anxiety, not to say
alarm, for the peace and good
order of the southern section of
the country. But he did moth.
ing OF the kind. The real ques
ton was not touched at all. He
talked much about the Negro
as though the people in the
north do not know what a Ne.
gro is, nor what he is like. So

ton of the African with the bal.
ance OF the human family is con,
