SOUTH COLORADO
A NEW STATE.

The Pueblo Indicator hints at division
Of the State with Pueblo as the capital OF
South Colorado. The claim is made that
there is an almost open revolt between
the northern and southern parts OF the
State and that the laws that suit one Sec
tion do not suit the other, and that divi.
sion of the state would be q good move
for the southern end.
The paper hints that the question is to
be brought before the next legislature,

Presenting A1aska's Needs

The Alaska boosters now in Wash ington should succeed in securing some attention at the hands of con- gress. They comprise delegates from every Pacific coast city with the ex- ception of Tacoma, and without ex. ception they consist of men who have no direct investments or direct pecu- niary interests in Alaska. They are seeking to aid Alaska from the motive of enlightened selfshness that all which aids Alaska and promotes it's expansion and development must nec- essarily aid the Pacific coast cities which cater to Alaska's trade, says the P-I.
 It may be sand therefore, and without opportunity to dispute the claim in honesty, that the motive behind the entire Pacific coast delegation now boosting for Alaska is the single minded purpose to aid Alaska; to secure, if possible, the legislation need ed to permit of development of Alaska's resources; to invite the in vestment of the capital there needed to permit of the development of the resources and to aid in every way pos sible the prosperity of the people now in Alaska aud of the people who will promptly go there when the restric tions upon the development of that territory are entirely removed, as con gress and the executive can remove them.
 These purposes should appeal to congress and to every enlightened citizen of the country. The members of the delegations, representing the commercial interests of the entire Pacific coast, have given far more in. telligent study to Alaska and to Alaska's needs than have any members of congress, with few and notable eX captions. They are not faddist, and they are certainly not seeking to further the cause of any syndicate or any group of capitalists whose opera tions might hamper Alaska's growth, for the very good reason that anything which adversely affects Alaska adverse. ly affects the business of the cities catering to Alaska's trade.
 It is sincerely to be hoped that con- gress will quit playing politics with the Alaska que tion and give that ter ritory some intelligent legislation, fol- lowing the suggestions of the people who know what form that legislation should take.

From Experience

Apropos the resolution made last week by the Alaskan to print the news when it is news, Stroller White from his wealth of experience as purveyor of news from the "Everglades of Flori- da to within the shadow of the North Pole" has the following bit of advice to offer:
 "The Skagway Daily Alaskan, having in several instances lately deferred the publication of local news at the re. quest of those concerned, only to read the same news day or two later in its exchanges, has made a resolution to the effect that hereafter it will not only publish rumors that savor of news, vague suspicious, 'fashes,' and every thiug brought to it via that time honored little bird' route.
 'In the light of experience extend ing from the Florida Everglades to within the shadow of the North Pole, we advise the Alaskan in all candor: Don't you do it.
 "Away down where the yellow jessa- mines unfold their delicate petals in January to the sun-kissed zephyrs, where the rose and the orange blos- soms vie in distilling their perfumes, where the sonorous snort of the alliga' 4 ,, ;z ,,,oeLol fror, ,yb;fbor tO ,uhapoa the editor of the Star then in the three button cutaway period of age and ineX- perience, made a resolution similar to that of the Alaskan. (EXcuse these tears. They are only few of upward of a quart which the editor sheds every time his thoughts revert to that benighted era of his youth.)
 "That resolution was unswervingly carried out for two weeks, during which time we were shot at nine times lthree weapons missed fire,l horse whipped six times, sandbagged four times, received eighty-fVe threatening letters and were turned down cold by half dozen young ladies to whom we were engaged.
 "Don't do it we say. No writer can do justice to himself when he is com pelled to lay down his pen in the midst of an editorial on Tariff or Inter national Trade Relations to pick bird shot out of his legs with the office tweezers. Besides, it does not pay to have your surface all scared up merely to satisfy morbid curiosity for news. To this day when we go swimming or strip for a prize fight, we present a rough broken surface similar to that of the state of North Carolina.
 "To be on the safe side, news should not be published until it has been both bar-room and Ladies' Aid talk for week orten dave, Go and have a look

at sthe baby before mentioning the birth. We added to family once on report and week later, on recovering consciousness, the figures on the wall paper in that hospital ward looked like humpty dumpty circus.
 "Publishing news is not mark of greatness. It is in knowing what not to publish. Therefore, Mir. Alaskan, you had better follow along the old lines and leave the publication of news to your exchanges.
 "Break that resolution if you would preserve your system intact and your surface uu broken"

OPPOSE THE INCREASE.
Adverse Report on Bill Advancing
Pay of Park Policemen.

Advancing "a number of reasons why the
salaries of park policemen should not be
increased. the Commissioners OF the Dis
trict of Columbia sent an adverse report
TO the House District committee on the
bill of Representative Clark of Florida
providing for such increase.
For one thing, the Commissioners say,
park policemen are not subjected to the
extra hazardous duties which attach to
the regular officers of the force. who
must patrol street and alley beats in no.
torious localities. Neither are they re-
qIired to respond, 1t is asserted, TO all
fire alarms and emergency calls, or per-
form reserve duty in the station houses
in readiness for such calls.
The Clark bill provides that beginning
July 1, 1872. the salaries of park police
men shall be as follows: First sergeant,
$1,32D per year; second sergeant, $l,.oo
privates of class three. $1,000; privates OF
class two, S1,UeO and privates Of class
one, $500.
The present personnel of the force OF
park policemen, and the salaries received,
according to the Commissioners report, is
as follows: One sergeant, at $3.50 per
year; one at $500 per year, and forty
watchmen at $40 per year each.
1T is beg inning to be realized, says
the District heads. that there is no place
in the country where police responsible
ties are so divided as in this jurisdiction.
and the correction of these conditions, 1t
is understood is now a subject matter OF
consideration in the subcommittee OF the
House committee on appropriations
