OUR POPULATION.

With the arrival of the Victoria, the last of the regular fleet on the first run of passenger boats, We can get line on the population for the coming summer.
 We are to be congratulated in the number of real live progressive men who have returned to help develop the country, for among their number we find men of national, as we'll as ] ter national regulations in their part. ular line of work.
 We notice a number of eminent dredging engineers who have made a study of extracting the yellow metal from the frozen gravels of Seward Peninsula. They have installed many dredges here and there and are re- turning to install other machines and continue their research work to dis cover the best and most fitting machine to do efficient work in this country where conditions are different from any other outside gold bearing country.
 Then we have the managers of the large companies, men who have ad- vanced through the process of being best fitted to perform their work. We find them landing in the evening and away to the hills in the morning 10 lay out the seasons work not wasting one moment of the short season. but like the advance agent for any large insti- tuition they go before and lay plans for the many who will follow.
 Then there Is the class of working men who have migrated 10 our shores they strike the old timers as being a different class of men than we were ac- customed to see come ashore during the early days Of the camp and spring rush. Everyone of them looks capable of doing a good honest days work and are full of ambition, striking the old sourdoughs like fellows who are fret ling to get their shoulders into the collar so as to become producers.
 On whole our population which has increased in the neighborhood of twelve or fifteen hundred is made up of men who will develop instead of retard the development of the country.

When We read of the Union League Workers trying to secure raise of two or three dollars per week for the wo- men folks back in Boston. and learn that the wage at the present time is SS per week, We wonder how they clothe and feed the body.
 To Alaskans that sounds like a little better than rent money. and to clothe themselves in a stylish manner such as the women working in department stores are required to do, live and eat like white people is indeed problem many of us have in Nome cannot solve. They must have the fourth unknown quantity in political economy down pat, which Is a state where being can exist on nothing.

The Seattle Press Club. no doubt did the right thing by Governor Clark. for the wires were down yesterday and we did not get the full details of the doings when they entertained him at their Alaska night"
 Seattle is waking up to the fact that there is something wrong in her way of doing business, and is now trying to coax the goose which lays the golden egg back to her city.

The members of the Black Hand operating in Chicago, appear to be very bold in their attempts to destroy property and life. Such an organiza- tion is a curse to any land, and should any member be caught an example such that should put the fear of the law in the hearts of the other mem bers should be meted out to him or them.
 one cannot draw a mental picture of an animal with a stripe so low, cruel and wicked. Such creatures do not belong to the animal kingdom. and they certainly are not of the human race. They are of foreign evil growth and the sooner it is stamped out the better for the country at large.

The spirit 'It Is not a crime to dip deeply into Uncle Sam's strong box, must have been the reason for the representative from Texas having his private stenographer retain her maiden name after they were married.

The Irish Catholics in Canada have petitioned the crown to free certain political prisoners during coronation week Perhaps the king win then again he may not. But it always strikes the average class as a good beginning for ruler to commence his reign with acts of forgiveness.
 Political prisoners are growing fewer in number in Ireland as that country Is nearing the state of existence so long fought for, and in time the inhabitants will secure many reforms that in the past seemed almost impossible.

THE PEOPLE WIN.

In the United States congress the people have won out in their demand for an amendment to the constitution so they can elect senators by direct vote of the people. Iris indeed a great victory, and proves if the people will keep pounding at the same thing keep ing it up for at least a generation they will succeed.
 We are informed that the first bill to elect senators direct was introduced in congress over thirty years ago. and since that date numerous bills Of a similar nature have been passed in the house of representatives only to be buried deep in the graveyard of the senate, whose members did not care to have the method of their election changed and placed in the hands of the people.
 The people have won and six years hence We can expect to see the mem- bers of the senate made up of an en- tirly different class of men. Instead of the corporation men being far in the majority. there to represent a few in- stead of the many. they will be in the minority as it should be.
 As the years roll by We can expect to see many changes in the way oi legislature that will benefit the people instead of the rich, for of late under our system of electing senators, the rich have become richer and the poor man has had a harder row to hoe to keep up with the extra cost of living in order that the rich may prosper.

 The American dollars" are not con- tributed by American industrial inter ests jealous of Britain's trade policy, as some of the Tory orators allege. In this country we know that to be ut terly false The fund is donated by Irish Americans. who. loyal to their adopted country, stin live in the hope that their motherland may shake off the yoke of England and enjoy, at least. the shadow if not the substance of national independence. The cam paign has unusual interest to Ameri- cans Of every nationality in that 1t reveals the underlying current of British animosity to Americans. Amer ican dollars have built up many an en- terprise in the profits of which British capitalists were glad to share. The golden guineas of perfidious Albion were in tap to support the confederacy in the early dubious days of the civil war. When the Anglicized American statesman talks about the proposed alliance and tells us that blood Is thicker than water" we are prone to
 forget that every time the safety of this republic was threatened the Brit ish government was found lined up and Teutonic stains from the Ameri- can and you have to search among half dozen other European nationalities to find the primitive Anglo Saxon. Con- tempeuously the Tories refer to Am erican dollars" yet there isn't a Tory duke or princeling who Is not ready to marry into them and to kow-tow to them if only a few of them will adhere to his lordly palm. To the credit of the English people it Is being written l that a majority of them do not sub scribe to this kind of prattle about American trade spiracy. A major ity of the British voters has been readr to grant Ireland a measure of home | rule for a quarter of a century. It Is | the decadent aristocrat who is the bull | wark of the lords and who fattened for centuries on the toll of the Irish peas ant farmer who Is now fighting against the square deal for Ireland and, inci- dentally, fighting for his own very ex- istence as a governing force. And he was very glad to get American dol lars" from the poor Irish peasants as rent fo land which his ancestors wrest- | ed from Ireland in a war of oppression and savagery waged by the accursed | Cromwell.

Fe6or kosn,ich, the Hermit, May Have
Eeen a Russian Gar.
A curious legend is associated with
the name of Alexander |. of Russia
It is to the effect that the emperor in
1925 was sojourning in the Crimea
When near Taganrog his coachman by
some means managed TO overturn the
carriage of a court courier named
Markof. who was killed. The en-
peror, wishing to rid himself of the
cares of state. so the story runs, caus-
ed it to be reported that it was be
himself who was killed. Then he car
ried out q plan which he had for long
conceived of retiring to Siberia and
living there under an assumed name.
Schiller. the historian, processes to
have satisfied himself that at all
events the remains in the Cathedral
of Peter and Paul are those of the
courier Schiller asserts that he learn
ed this much from the children of
Markof
According to the legend, Alexander
l. Of Russia died in Siberia in 1864,
but history records that he died at
Taganrog in 1926. 1t seems that in
1925 a mysterious stranger appeared
in Siberia. He gave his name as Fee
dor Kosmich and never revealed any
other or the place whence he came.
He lived the life of q hermit and was
received generally with respect. In
1856 he accepted the invitation of a
rich merchant to take up his abode in
his house at Tomsk. There he was
very retired and held communication
only with Mile. Kromof and the mer-
chant, her father. Every one who
saw him was struck with his ex-
traordinary resemblance to the de-
funct car. The Grand Duke Mich
olas Michailovitch contributed an arti-
Gle in the Revue Historique in which
he denied the sensational part Of the
story. but admitted that the hermit
of Siberia might have been a natural
brother of Alexander London

man and a dashing officer. During

maintained an erect position, he ex-
claimed, "Since when, should like to
know, has so much politeness been
shown to the Prussians" The sar-

IRISH BROGUE.
It Is Really the Old Time Method Of
Pronouncing English,

Pronouncing English,
Perhaps nothing illustrates better
the vicissitudes of pronunciation in
English than a study Of what is called
the Irish brogue" This lingual mode,
for it is scarcely to be called dialect,
is usually presumed to be a deteriora-
ton Of language due to lack Of educa-
ton and contact with legitimate
sources Of English. 1t proves after
little study to be a preservation Of the
old method Of pronouncing English.
which has come down to great de-
gree unchanged in Ireland from Shake
speare's time.
In Elizabeth's time, however, it came
to be realized that if there was to be
any real affiliation Of the two countries
then the Irish language must be sup
planted by English. and definite eff
fort in this direction was made. This
change of speech, resented and resist
ed, was nevertheless successfully &C.
complished all over the island except
in the west within a decade after
Shakespeare's death. This fact takes
on a new significance when we study
what we now call the Irish brogue in
connection with what is known to have
been the pronunciation Of English at
that time. The two are found to con
form in practically every respect
Irishmen pronounce English as their
forefathers learned it and have pre-
served its pronunciation because they
have been away from the main cur
rent Of English speech variation ever
since.-Harper's Magazine.
