"a Christian native makes a
most excellent guide in the inter-
ior, especially if you pick a good
one.
"Once, I asked Christian ma
tive to take me to the village of
Layenaus, which lies on a noun
tainside of the interior, and the
inhabitants of which are still on
most excellent terms with their
stomachs.
He was fat native, and he
refused. l asked him why he re-
fused, and pointed out that had
many valuable beads and dolls to
give the natives of Lavenaus as
presents.
''But he still refused, and told
me why, despite presents, we
should be so unwelcome in La
venauS.
at appears that two years be-
fore, a Frenchman had some
work he wanted done. So the
Frenchman captured a man and
wife of Lavenaus to do the work,
it not being held proper for a
white man to do any work on
Malekula.
THE Frenchman put the ma
tive, man of Lavenaus to work in
the fields, but the woman of La
venaus was fair and good to look
upon, so her he took for his own.
"All of this was quite proper
and in accordance with the rules
of society as laid down in Male
khla, but one night the French
man drank too much of the native
rum, which | NAV say is most

"His hatred was of the sort
that known no patience. So he
took a sword which he possessed.
and carved the woman of Laven-
aus in two.
"The lower part of the woman,
he sewed into sack and dropped
into the South Sea. The upper
part he kept for some reason,
which only the powerfulness of
the native rum will explain.
In the morning, the French
man became sober, his supply of
rum having run out, and when
he saw the upper half of the wom-
an of Lavenaus he was much dis
turbed.
HE could not remember what
he had done with the lower half
of the woman, and. he searched
for it everywhere, but finally
came to the conclusion that he
had mislaid it hopelessly.
Then he considered what was
to be done with the upper half. 1t
occurred to him that if the wom-
ans relatives should happen to
drop in and, see that half lying
about his house, there might be
considerable trouble, so he sewed
this half also in sack, and drop
ped it into the South Sea.
But the story leaked out, and
one night the Frenchman when
drunk again, wandered rather far
away from home, doubtless with
the idea of finding another wom-
an of LavenauS. He was found

JuNsAu's FISHING FLEET,

Few people realize to how great an extent the fishing fleets Of the Southeastern Alaska towns are grow ing. The fishing fleet of Ketchikan numbers several hundred vessels and Petersburg and Wrangeu add sub stanually to the total
 Here in Juneau the fishing fleet is an important factor in the conner ciaI life and activity of the town. It has grown. is growing. and should continue to grow until this city is the principal fishing port of the North Pacific coast. The reasons are obvious; Juneau is the closest point to the great halibut fishing banks. and halibut fishing is annual Iy increasing in importance, The prin' clpal halibut grounds are now near CT Juneau than any other port on the Southern Alaska coast. and, We are told. there promises to be large ac' sessions Co the fishing fleet at tnls point. This means the substantial in' crease of an important industry. Its possibilities are unlimited. and it should be given every encourage meut It lies at our door. It is ours by right and We should keep it for ourselves.
 The value of a large fishing fleet to a seaport need not be pointed out. With immense fishing grounds close at hand the industry should assume vast proportions Facilities for hand ling the fresh product are essential and with these. and the material ad vantages Juneau possesses it is strict Iy within the realm of probability that very soon Juneau will have the larg est fishing fleet and which will em ploy more men than any other port on the North Pacific coast.

However, 1t may be taken for granted that there will be no extreme ly radical changes made in the tar riff at the special session of Con gress Those schedules which favor trusts and monopolles indubitably will feel the knife of tariff reform And they should. Protected monopol' les no doubt will suffer, but the great mass of the American people will be benefited. and no legitimate busi- ness will be disturbed and though the plunderbunders may rage they will at tempt to do scarcely more than that
 The tariff is not a sacred institu- ton that must not be touched by rude hands. Heretofore. such reyis- ion as 1t has had has been made by the friends of the highly protected in- terests. These have seen to 1t that their favorite chedules-those which brought "corn and oil and wine" to their already great stores-were not harmed. Now we want to see re- vision of the tariff that will be in the interests of the great family of American consumers. If this be done honestly and fairly no one-not even the brood of tariff beneficiarles ought to complain.

THE WAR cLAmoR.

China now seems anxious to throw her hat into the war ring and chal- lenge Russia to mortal combat, if we are to believe the dispatches from the youngest of republics and the oldest of nations.
 The casus beln is Mongolia, over which Russia, during the days of the Chinese revolution, assumed the right Of suzerainty. The Chinese were then too busy with the over throw of the Manchu dynasty to pay much attention to Russia's aggran- dizement of their territory, other than to make formal protest.
 It now seems. however, that China having got her second wind. so to speak, is determined to reassert her rights to Mongolia and to make her claim valid by force of arms, if nec- essary. The reduced state of China's exchequer is strong argument against the entrance upon a war at the present time. The Chinese re- public Is hy no means as yet upon a solid foundation, though it would ap. pear as if the demand for an attack upon Russia is spontaneous and the Chinese republic may have to yield.
 While new China differs from the old in externals and education, its racial characteristics must continue, for many years to come. to make rep resentative government impossible and the republic merely a new name for old despotisms.

REVISING THE TARIFF.

Presideutelect Wilson will call an extra session of Congress immediate ly upon his inauguration. on March 4. He says that the pledges of his party ought to be redeemed as promptly as possible. The interests of business demand that all uncer. tainty as to what particular items of tariff revision are to be. or should be removed.
 These are frank statements and should commend themselves to the people of the country. Unsettled business conditions do not make for progress or prosperity. Uncertainty of the future in business affairs tends to demoralization and clogs the arteries of trade and commerce. None the less We are of the opinion that the tariff has been made a fetish by the interests that have most largely benefited by its operations. The tar if helps to make living dear. but liv. ing would be very dear in comparison with commodity-price levels of ten or fifteen years ago. if the tariff were abolished altogether.

AFTER THE MANNER OF MEN,

Is he of Gods making? What man. ner of man? Is his head worth Q hat? Or his chin beard!-As You Like it.
 Questions similar to these, though not so quainuy and aptly phrased are asked about every man who suddenly attains prominence by appearing in the spotlight of public life and some times in private life. They are per tinent questions. too. but the pity of it is that frequently they are answered affirmatively or negatively by per sons wholly unacquainted with the subject matter. It is no unusual thing. indeed, to hear mankind pass criticism upon men whom they do not know and have never seen, of whom they know nothing good, bad or indif- ferent. except perhaps their names, So also do men judge motives and analyze conditions of which they know relatively nothing, nor will they take the trouble to inform themselves mtelligenuy and accu- rately.
 The motives of men have been mis- judged and impugned for ages by the thoughtless, the ignorant and the vicious mind. and they will continue to be no doubt until time shall be no more.
 As a man thinketh, so is he, we are told on high authority andthat which We think of our neighbor we are our selves,
 The world never has been all good; neither has it been all vicious. There is some good in most of us and some bad in all of us.
 That all men are liars is a most sweeping statement, and one that will undergo critical examination, before we accept it as strictly fun damental truth.
 We stammer out our opinions about other men. things. conditions and cir. cumstances, as wine comes out of a narrow.necked bottle, either too much at once or none at all" Indiscrimin, ate. ill.cousidered, thoughtless, is the judgment of mankind upon mankind.
 God made him, therefore, let him pass as a man." What manner of man he may be is only of relative import tance to us; that he is a law.abiding citizen. and of good repute, should suffice. If he be well recommend ed. it is to his advantage. But wheth' CT his head is worth hat, or his chin a beard-leave those things to time and posterity to determine,
 What the people of any nation, city or community most need to guide their footsteps in the paths of peace progress and prosperity is this:
 "In essentials unity. in non-essen tials liberty, in all things charity"
