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. Mr. Wilson

w ling result may be seen ahead. 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,

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.

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.

Knights of Labor will formulate a
plan shortly for a daily newspaper,
to be published in Philadelphia,
which is to l»e the official organ of
the Order, to supersede the secular
newspapers now in circulation among,
the Knights. 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. "The misrepresenta
