Alaskan Coal.
After all the fuss and fustian over I
the public lands of Alaska, it is pretty
well understood that Secretery Fisher,
of the Department of the Interior,,
brings from bis recent tour of the
North the conviction that the import
ance of the Bering river coal fields has
been very much exaggerated. Simi
larly the value of the Chugach forest
reserve and the worth of Controller i
bay as a harbor are said to have been
vastly over rated,. in the judgment of
the secretary. In other words, there is
no immediate occasion for alarm con
cerning the monopolization of lauds
for which t lie present use is uncertain.
The enormous fortunes that were be
ing "stolen" from the "people" are
chiefly visionary, the product of the
dreams of popular magazines and
political dust-raisers.
If ^uch be the case, it should appear
that Alaska requires no special govern j
meut dispensation to handicap the
normal- operation of economic and
business laws; under the old land
.
regulations by which the western
states have been developed, Aluska
will not blossom forth iuto a "pinto
cratic" civilization without all the
travail and struggle that have accom
plished similar ends in other new
regions. Rh formers have been imagin
ing industrial miracles in Alaska that
cannot be. In order to produce even a
normal growth of the country, to
which those now situated in the North
are fairly eutitled., the same liberal
policy toward settlers that has pre- j
vailed elsewhere in the public laud
states should be permitted to provail in
Alaska. Why not?
The Bering Kiver coal fields are not
so advantageously situated, if .the
latest evidence is considered, as to
hope to compete very soon with, the
supplies of fuel oil forthcoming from
California, .The Copper River railway
and the Bouauza mines will use fuel
oil. If, to follow the suggestion of a
United States senator, the War De
partment wore to take up the mining'
of Alaska coal, exclude ail private en
terprise from : he coal lands and sell
the product to all comers at prices
which allow for a small profit on the
government invest men : , it is likely
that a government scandal would re
sult from the inability of the adminis
trators to meet tho conditions. Well
may the talking cease and well may
the government return to- the sane
policy of releasing tho domain to the
use .1 o I the citizens. ? Mining Science.
The Western farmer who voted
against reciprocity at the late election
now has food for reflection in tho fact
that the price of wheat dropped two
cents per bushel at Winnipeg and ad
vanced five cents per bushel at Minne
apolis the day after election. Yet the
farmers of the great Northwest were
told reciprocity would be a bad thing
for them.

John A. Dowi'e Hit TEm Hard.
Some years ago John Alexander
Dowie, of the Zion Tabernacle, in the
course of his sermon, delivered the '
following tirade against the reporters
and editors:
"You young devils of the press.
You generation of vinprs. You
like the scribes of old, and I am like v
Jesus when I speak of you as He spoke
of the scribes. You liars, you scoun
drels, you murderous villians. There
is nothing sacred in your unclean
minds, you foul eerpents of the press.
May the legions cf devils be cast out
of you, for you are already writhing in
your agony, you dirty, stinking, drink
ing, disreputable set."
And the boys continue to move in
good society.
For a hundred years there has not
been in the civilized world a more con
spicuous case of colonial misgovern
raent than is ' presented by the treat
ment of t lie colony of Alaska by the
United States, said Falcon Joslin in an
address in Seattle, The United States
is no louger able to boast that it is in
all parts free and equal; it possesses
colonies. Some of these colonies are
peopled with aliens,, and the United
States rules them against their will.
Alaska is the only one true sense of the
word peopled by immigration, from the
land; yet the alien colonies are allowed
some local self government, while
Alaska, peopled by Americans, is de
nied the right. The wrong would be
less glaring were it not for the gross
mismanagement of the colony of
Alaska, a condition that is now recog
nized by our legislators. The leaders
in Congress hold out the hope that
home rule will be granted during the
next session. Let tas hope that it will
be homo rule in fact as well as in name.
For the same reason that Alaska has
been so wretchedly mismanaged ? be
cause she is so far away from the seat
of government ? she demands a greater
degree of independence than auy ter
ritory of the United States ever en
joyed, aud will not. be fooled with a
mere empty shell of power.? Fairbanks
