SATURDAY, MARCH 19,1887. Andrew o. Wilson, of the citizens ""'committee that went to "Dover the t'r other day in the interest of so-called reform government for Wilmington, made a grievous mistake in address ing the Legislative Committee. He said that Dennis J Menton was de feated for re-election to council be cause he had helped to reduce the city's expenses. Mr. Menton not defeated for that reason. The people of the Tenth Ward were op pased to his $150,000 park bill, and ^^M|ey believed that he represented I la I Ian \ Hollingsworth <'«>.'s Ipfjl^^AntcrcKis more than theirs. This is III^^R'hy he was defeated.

Even if Mr. Blaine were a saint, which he is not, the Presidency of the United States would be too honorable a prize to be gained for him by deception. The Maine statesmam is known best for his political trickery, and if it be in bis warm attitude toward the South just before his defeat, pared with his tirade against the South just after ; his dodging of the liquor question, or any of his other notable strategies, he is always «4 — found "casting an anchor to wind ward." The student of Mr. Blaine's com movements well remembers that the smoke pf the November election in New York had not cleared away be fore he was closeted with the roan, who, »9 » labor candidate for maj or, had polled 68,000 votes, more than -, the Republican candidate and only 20,000 less than his successful ponent. That meeting was to have been a secret one, but a vigilant porter told about it. Mr. Hlaine's Butler side-show of 1884 had failed, and in the representative of 08,000 Totca in the pivotal State of New York, mostly Democratic, the . Plumed Knight saw another chance to realize his great ambition. Wlint took place at that meeting, knows except the two who present, but it is a significant fact that the journalistic and other friends Mr. Blaine are strangely quiet the "Henry George theory." Oeorge is also fortunate in that the Democratic press is afraid to attack him, lest they drive his followers from the party. As Mr. Blaine is a positive believer in the doctrine, latora belongs the spoils . Inconsistent for him to have ottered § a liberal inducement to a second lien 7 Butler in the valuable op i-. no one were on Mr. person of Henry George. When spoken to A year ago in regard to a certain un '•* dertakiug in hehair of workingmen, Mr. Goorge replied, "I work for ■ ' money." This is the kind ol Mr. Blaine is looking for. Mr. George is also the kind of men Mr. Blain is looking for. There is something adventurer. This is more behind Henry than land re form. No friend of labor, ao warm as he is considered, would advocate a theory that must ari ve every honest farmer from it. The Knights of Labor principles demand that "the public lands, the heritage of the people, be reserved for actual settlers, not another acre for railroads or speculators, and that all lands now held for speculative purposes, be taxed to their full value, a doctrine upon which every con scientious farmer, mechanic and laboring man can stand. Why is it that Henry George pushes an im practicable scheme, just plausible enough to gain a goodly following? Is it a device to place Blaine in the Presidential chair, supported on one side by Jay Gould and on the other by Henry George? This is Complaint comes from San Fran cisco to President Cleveland that the Alaska Commercial Company has illegally taken possession of the Behring Sea, in order to monopolize its vatuahle seal fisheries. This company one of the most stupendous organizations that ever existed in this country, and the peer of the East India and Hudson Bay companies, was incorporated many years ago under the laws of the State of California as the Alaska Commercial Company. It has assumed sovereign power over the most valuable fisheri the whole United States—namely, tiie Alaska fisheries in Behring Sea —and without shadow of right or authority, except a lease from the United States dated August 8, 1870, permitting it to kill 100,000 seals annually upon two small islands In Behring Sea at a rent of $55,000 per annum, lias taken possession and control not only of the Territory, but also of a vast sea 3,000 miles long by 2,700 miles widb; has made itself the boss of the government and impressed into its service tbo of ficers and agents of the government to maintain' Its possession and'con trol of this immense Territory and sea. of It has established exclusive trad ing posts at all the available stations in that immense Territory, on the coast, along the rivers and upon the islands of Behring Sea. It exercises absolute dominion over the natives and holds them in a state of practical bondage. Jt has exterminated the seals on certain islands to prevent them from falling into the hands of other traders. Its agents have, in violation of law, defaced the silver coin of the United States with a stamp for purposes of trade, and re fuse to accept any other when tend ered by the natives for the purchase of the necessaries of life ; it has ex tended its dominion into Russian territory to the restriction and det riment of trade upon the whole of Behring Sea north, of latitude 53, and by an extension of jurisdiction unknown to modem law has cured the seizure of vessels fishing in Russian waters upon the assump tion of encroachment upon its privi leges. Not content with monopolizing the land, corporation greed reaches out for the sea. It is fortunate for Satan that he rules supreme in his dominion below ; otherwise some earthly syndicate would run pipes down for the purpose of extracting the natural gas supposed to be there. pro Tiie position of the heathen—that is, so far as their future is concerned —is at present an uneuviable one. Tho American Board of Commis sioners for Foreign Missions recently met in solemn conclave and resolved that all heathen who die without the benefit of clergy would be condemn ed to eternal torture. Rev. Mr. Hume, a missionary, dissented from this view, and on returning to this country from India for a vacation he was informed that the Board had de cided to keep him out of India for a year. The heathen who are rash enough to die during that time will incur a fearful responsibility. of a H hi LABOR WORLD. The workingmen^of Tamaqua and Pottsville, Pa., elected their entire ticket in the recent election. New Endend spéciale in the Bos ton Journal indicate a spring busi ness boom in mosV industries.

At the election the whole ticket was elected by from 200 to 250 majority. The new Knights of Labor build ing at Minneapolis will hâve five store rooms on its lirst floor, which arc already rented.

Tjie foundation for this scheme is tiie little weekly paper of the Order known ab the Journal of United Labor, edited by General Secretary Charles 1 H. Litchman. If a reasonable degree of success is at tained by the Philadelphia daily, it is proposed to establish branch pub lication offices of the jame paper in a dozen different cities in the coun try, and publish it simultaneosly at those points.
