 The natives of Alaska have been sheltered and given a splendid start the last few years by the federal government. They have been sup piled with schools, homes and other benefits and helped to make the fight to get civilized and at tempt to live as the decent whites. IS this public investment and the labor involved to be wasted?
 someone is now responsible for Cne natives ueDauchery by drlnk. If the law is inadequate it should De made adequate. Ii there are whites or others supplying these natives with liquor in violation Of law the extreme penalty will be none too severe. If there is no law let one be provided at once-terri- torial, federal, municipal or what ever will bring the remedy.
 Authorized and recognized liq- uor dealers in Anchorage who live up to the law and do the right thing ill handling liquor - and there are plenty of them-shouId not be discriminated against by others who will not do the right thing.
 Somebody is responsible for the whole sad spectacle. It is to be hoped proper steps will be taken ill the right quarters to rid Anchorage and every other Alaska town of the disgusting sights Of drunken na- Iives-and every aid rendered in giving the native a hand to help him up and onward and not to kick him down.
 Many of the natives of Alaska are among the most estimable and ,apable people of Alaska and the native population as a whole is de- serving of every protection by the white brothers and the strong arm of the la D law now enacted or that shou@ enacted"

DEPLORABLE
(Ketchikan Chroniclel


 The Anchorage Times has cOur- ageously embarked upon a prob lem of social reform which. we be- lieve. might well be undertaken by every newspaper in Alaska. For, al though the editor of the Anchor age Times may think his observa- tions are confined to Anchorage, it is our opinion that similar circum- stances are occurring throughout Alaska today Our only objection to the following editorial is that a too-finely drawn racial assertion has been made:
 Anchorage of late has been wit messing numerous disgusting sights On streets and alleys late in tho evening and during the night man. Indians-men and boys-and evea women and girls are seen under the influence of liquor. some of them hopelesslv so.
 Some of the victims have heen found asleen on sidewalks and f" alleys and many seen tottering and engaged in maudlin conversation
 ''It is claimed by some that an Indian enjoying citizenship is en- titled to buy liduor Others declare no Indian is entitled under the law to buy linnor. However this is. and whatever the law. someone is snp- plying natives right here in this vicinity with liquor to a degree that makes them helnIaSc and rn- volting spectacles. Reports were heard on the streets here this week of Indians from neighboring towns coming h ere with considerable funds and spending practically the whole sum for liquor. Soon these natives will be facing a long hard winter. Money they should have saved is going into liquor no doubt some of it as dangerous low

that by the end Of 1884 gold will
be stabilized at Saba; silver
may be fully remonetized; the
currency will be increased some

treasury notes backed by the
doubled value of gold in treasury
vaults.
The more significant Washing
ton year-end summaries of prog
resS follow in brief, as issued by
departments and individuals:
NRA - 100000 pers Il
reemployed Tin addition to the
100000 employed under the
CWA); 100000 to 20.000,000
out of a potential 24,000,0000
workers under codes; almost all
industry to be codified within a
month: outlawing of cut-throat
competition and unfair trade
practices.
COmmerce-"On the threshold
of the new year we find almost
every major indicator of business
conditions moderately above the
level of a year ago and number
of them substantially higher.
There is much evidence that the
recovery program will proceed
progressively. that our remaining
problems will be slowly but surely
surmounted and that our CONSOLE
dated gains for 1884 will bring
about a substantial measure Of
improvement in all segments Of
our economic life"
Outlook for FOREIGN commerce,
Secretary Roper said, seems ZAP
preciably better" than a year age.
He forecast that outstanding in
his departments work in 1884
would be development of airplanas
to sell for $500 or less, coustruc-
ton of new landing fields and
other aviation activities designed
to make airplanes help in ending
this depression as other transpor-
tation evolutions have helped in
other times.
William Green, presi-
dent American Federation of La
Dor. called the outlook bright
and promising" with abundant
evidence of renewed courage and
revived hope" There are indica-
tions. he said. that the new year
will bring an approximate re-
turn to normal economic and ir-
dustrial conditions"
Railroads - r. H. Ashton,
chairman of the board, American
Railway Association reported an
Improvement in 1888 in financial
results from operation. Increase
in freight traffic in 1888 over
1882 combined with decrease in
operating costs despite heavier
business yielded class roads an
operating income of 1888 of
S465,0OO,0O0, or 1T per cent on
property investment. In 1882 the
figure was $326,29S,000. or 1.25
