The public indifference is a pub- lic reproach—Philadelphia Recs ord: The one significant fact in the elections of Tuesday is the uni- ‘form drift against the Republican party. Within eight months after the inauguration of Presi-, dent Mc4inley in eyery State holding an election the immense Republican majority of last year has been overturned or greatly reduced. Is will not do to attri- bute this result to the State issues, for in most of the States the contest was made on issues of national politics.

The number of depositors in England and Wales on December-31, 1896, was 6,276,493, or one in five of the population, and the average amout to the credit of each de- positor was £15 14s. For Scot- land the figures were: Denosi- tors, 283,566 ; propoation, 1 in 15; amount, £12. For Ireland: De- positore, 301,976 proportion, 1 in 15; amount, £20 7, 7d. If 5 postal savings bank system should be established in this country, and used by the same proportion of our people as it is used in Great Britain, the de- positors would exceed 16,000,000 in number; and if the deposits should, ayerage no higher here than they doin the United King- dom they would reach the enor- mous total of $1,200,000,000; a sufficient sum to wipe out three fourths of the entire national debt. And more than half the amornt would represent the sayings of women and children. Sa Rass Intoxication No Excuse. Not long ago a judge in one of the western communities held that when a man deliperately filed himself with liquor until he lost control of himself he was legally responsible for whatever he did while he was intoxicated. We donot know whether this is yood law or not, but it is good sense. Aby other rule would wake 1t too easy for criminals to escape punishment. A _ burglar might plead that he was intoxi- cated when he robbed a house, or a murderer might plead that he was mad from drink. when he killed a wan; but such an excuse would not restore the dead to life nor would 16 protect the com- munity trom arepetition of the crime. Intoxication may some- times be an expianatioa, but it ought not to be considered 2 defense.—Brooklyn Eagle. An Unusual Offer. A most unusual offer is that made by Elder Joseph Ballou, of Lincoiv, county Kentucky. It is that he will pay $35 rewa:d for the arrest of every negro hog thief in the county and $50 for the capture of every white man who can be convicted of the same offense. Mr. Baliou was asked why he made the difference in the amount offered for the two races for the same charge. He answered: ‘Because there is less necessity for a white man to steal than a negro, and ‘is therefore much meaner of the whites to be guilty of such a depredation.” , The Administration Condemned Mr. Bryan received in the Greater New York last year 235,618 yotes. The vote cast for Van Wyck on Tuesday was vote for candidates that supported Bryan and free silver of 13,000 in excess of last year. MecKinley’s vote in the same district last year was 283,119.

A Golden Harvest. . a ‘i Y SSeS a According to the Omaha World Jerald Nebraska will lift some mortgages ‘this year. lt esti-’ mates, aod no one will deny that the estimate is generous, that there is enough grain in Nebras-, ka to load 852,000 freight cars, which, if coupled together, could form a train 6,500 mileslong. Or, if diyided up, would make 31,733 trains of 30 cars each. It esti- mates the bulk of the grain at 386,000,000 bushels of corn, in- cluding 136,000,000 — bushels brought over from the last crop; 40,000,000 bushels of wheat, 60,- 00,000 bushels of oats and 20,- 000,000 bushels of rye. It may. tend to allay the anxiety of the farmers in the other States to reflect that all this will not be| precipitated on the market at once. Some of it will be needed at home, and then grain has 3 way of diminishing when put on the scales. But be this asit may, the whole country will rejoice in wealth which has come to Ne- braska in her golden harvest—no siiyer harvest—and the same story comes from other States. a Bravely Battling.

' Via SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 22. ’ {hose accustomed to think of Alaska as an out-of-the-way territory inhab- ited only by illiterate whites and still . -é more ignorant savages will be aston- ished to learn that the Territory is more favered than any other section of the United States in the matter of public schools. People in other parts of the Union know so liftle of this land of gold that everything concerning it is new to them, but the above state- ment will be an especial surprise. Yet it is absolutely true. Uncle Sam is more generous to his children in the Great Northwest than to any of his other lit- tle ones. It is not his fault that they are not further advanced in knowledge than the public school children of New York, Chicago or even Boston. Congress makes an annual appropri- ation for the establishment and main- tenance of public schools throughout Alaska, and the Territorial Commis- sioner of Education, appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, has full power to apply this money as he may see fit, either to the building of new | schools, to be maintained entirely by the Government, or to subsidizing paro- chial and mission schools and helping to support those already established. His judgment is final, and upon him rests a responsibility heavy,enough to ‘tbe a burden to any one man—the civ- jlization and education of all the thou- sands of white, creole, Indian, Eskimo and Mongolian children, in whose little hands lie, to a large extent, the future of this great treasure-house of Amer- ica. Noble Men at Work. Missionaries of every creed are scat- tered over this broad land to work for the Christianization of the native and half-breed children, and the mental de- velopment of the sons and daughters of the white settlers. They are noble workers in a noble cause, and much good has been accomplished by thcir tireless energy and indomitable cour- age in the face of many difficulties. But it is doubtful that, with all their pluck and perseverance, they would have achieved such great results had not the Federal Government appreci- ated and satisfied the need of ample capital with which to push the cam- paign against heathenism. The mis- sionaries were the pioneers; Uncle Sam is the sound financial backer of the philanthropic enterprise. Two obstacles have made educational work in Alaska extremely difficult—the roving habits of the natives and the stupid, mulish antagonism of the Rus- sian Church to all things American. As to the first, it is disappearing with the advance of civilization; the second is more deeply rooted, founded as it is on intense bigotry and violent race preju- dice, and many years will be required to avercome it. It is inbred in every native with the least drop of Russian blood in his veins, and is shaved by many of unmixed aboriginal descent. Special legislation will be required to eradicate the evil. ‘ It must be remembered that the Alas- kan native is distinctly anti-progres- sive. Thlingit and Eskimo are equally satisfied with their respective modes of life, and passively resent any attempts at amelioration of their conditions, A Thlingit who has not, with his immedi- ate ancestors, been subjected to strong civilizing influences for many years, would rather sleep on the ground, with the rain pouring upon his bare skin, his head alone sheltered under his in- verted kayak or’ canoe, than repose on a new folding-bed in the best room of the Occidental Hotel. The Eskimo much prefers his stuffy igloo, or hemfspher- ical snow hut, to the most commodious of modern dwellings. Both races have less regard for personal comfort than any other people that has ever inhab- ited the North American continent. A steam-heated flat would drive any Es- kimo or Thlingit to suicide. Truancy Is Encouraged. So when their children, after much persuasion by missionaries or Govern- ment teachers, are finally persuaded to go to school, the parents are miserable, and prophesy darkly the unhappy end of their iconoclastic offspring. Despite the most positive promises, they do their best to keep the Httle ones at: home as much as possible. Truancy is encouraged more or less actively by the parents of nearly every native child, while the creoles and other mixed breeds prefer to send their children to the numerous parochial schools estab- lished _bz.the.Ruesian Church. hades ‘ ‘~ i he i IR igs ors i wn: Ril dame ee B00 “ *t | ome en fe ee aa eR oe «ae € ia cena ee a as if .Jall Protestant denominations, “44they regard even the lay teachers di- HE IS GOOD TO HIS LITTLE ONES ‘| States Government with extreme sus- ¢g s it ie ie ima et: He helen ein eee ean mamta me Pe ite ie ; i garage ES San ervey are just as imim- ical to the missionaries of the Roman Catholic Church as they are to those of rectly in the employ of the United picion. They violently oppose the in- troduction of American educational methods, and tell the creoles, Indians and Eskimos that the missionaries and Government teachers are designing ate the children from their parents. Unfortunately, ‘this accusation is not without foundation. The stern neces- sities of civilization require that the pupils be separated from their adult relatives in order that the good results accomplished by the teachers shall not be counteracted by barbarous influ- ences. After ten months of seclusion in a seminary, or twice as many of con- stant attendance at a day school, all that a Thlingit, or Eskimo, student has learned may: be swept out of his mind by a.brief return to primitive ways of life, It is not conducive to a high plane of thought to live in a six-foot igloo with a half dozen other persons; who keep themselves,smeared with ill-smell- ing grease and share the general couch with a pack of sledge dogs. Even the semi-civilized Indians are intolerable to Caucasian nostrils. Average of Attendance Low. Most of the Alaskan schools, public and parochial, are open about 175 days in the year. The average attendance is extremely low, 40 per cent. being ‘considered good. All that the mission- aries and Government teachers can do dues not persuade the Thlingits and Eskimes to make their children attend 2 persons, whose ultimate aim is to alien- |: Vn apm mcm marge amin anit eT situated at Carmei, Dougias City (4, Fort Wrangell, Holy Cross, Jackson, Juneau (2), Kadiak, Killisnoo, Klawak, Metlakahtla, this city (2), Unalaska and Unga; the parochial and mission schools are at Blagovestchensky, Christ Church Mission, Holy Crgss, Huna,. Haida Mission, Tununuk, Sitka, Ju- neau, Metlakahtla, Kadiak (2), Bt., George, St. Paul, Unalaklik, Voznesen- sky, Yakutat and minor points. Rudiments Qnly Are Taught. English is taught, of course, at all the Government schools, as well as the missions subsidized by the Commis- sioner of Education, and one of the in- dependent Russian schools, but the lan- guage of the Czar is favored by all the missionaries of the Russian Church, and is a powerful obstacle to the in- troduction of good old Angto-Saxon. Unless some educational genius devises a plan to obliterate the harsh gutturals of the Russian tongue from the minds of the natives it will take a long:time to make English the universal lan- guage throughout the length and breadth of Alaska. This last should be accomplished as speedily as possi- ble, for unless it be done it will be hard to make the Indians and Eskimos real- ize that they are tne children of Uncle Sam. Thiingits Learn Easily. The Thlingit learns English easily, for he has in his native vocabulary all the difficult sounds of the Anglo-Saxon tongue, such at tr, ing and hard and soft.th. Perhaps the oniy exception is the Copper River. tribe, which is really a distinct race, the result of intermar- riage for many generations between : Thlingits and Eskimos. Formerly this school regularly. The fact that the parents are still forced to wander many miles in search of new hunting and fishing grounds frequently causes the loss of the brightest pupil just when the little ones are becoming creditable to the school. Once lost, a pupil is sel- tribe was placed by ethnologists with the Eskimos, but of recent years the Indian blood has become so much more conspicuous as to make it properly a sub-division of the Thlingit family. Even in the Government schools nothing is taught but the three Rs, a Yj 2g SINIC 7) ww S- Sy Pt ALA SKAN BN dom reclaimed—scarcely ever by the school first attended. The Commissioner of Education builds Government schools wherever the need for them exist—indeed, when- ever the opportunity offers. Many of them are usciess at present, as they are so remote as to make anything ap- proaching a fair attendance out of the question. Federal inspectors have crit- icised the worthy Commissioner for thus building for the future, but that distinguished gentleman, secure in the autocratic power conferred upon him by Congress, goes serenely on his way, realizing that Alaska is the coming | arena of American energy, and that.tn: so building he is bestowing a lasting: benefit upon the nation. He ae the confidence of the Secretary of the’ Interior, to whom he is directly, re- sponsible, and rightly, for he is onetof. the most enthusiastic and single-hearté| ed departmental chiefs in the Territory,’ Thirty-five Alaskan Schools. + According to the latest national re- port there are thirty-five schools in Alaska, of which sixteen are main- tained entirely by the United States, and nineteen are _ controlled by churches and benevolent societies. Two of the latter are supported in part by this Government, five by the Russian Imperial Government, four by the Pres- byterian Board of Home Missions, one by the Board of Missions of the Prot- estant Episcopal Church, one by the Roman Catholic Church, one by the Sis- ters of St. Ann, one by the Holy Synod of Russia, one by the American Branch of the Swedish Free Mission Society, one by the Swedigh Evangelical Union and two by the North American Com- mercial Company, in accordance with fItt:e grammar ana geogfaphy to both sexes; painting, carpentering, cooper- age and shoemaking to the boys, and sewing, cooking and general domestic knowledge to the girls. The schools aim at civilization rather than deep learning, and no attempt has been made to introduce the higher educa- tion, save that the pupiis of one school have learned enough of music to have a pretty good brass band. It is aston- ishing, though, how much is done teward.the development of intelligence paid “mabral, stamina—so long, that is to gal: as the pupils are under the direct ‘4 ftuence of the teachers. . ; {Barly Marriages Encouraged.

The employment of Russians as teachers in the Government schools is a capital idea, if those gentry may safely be depended upon to inculcate American ideas while giving English in- struction, for the Thlingits and Eski- mos have more faith in the subjects of, the Czar than in citizens of the United States. But the Commissioner of Ed- ucation is not sure he can find many Russians who would be as/loyal to their trusts as is the good gentleman in charge of the, Karluk school, and he is slow to extend the experiment. The na- tional spirit is strong in the breast of every Russian, from imperialists to ni- hilists, and it is more than likely that, given control of the United States schools, they would teach their own tongue, almost to the exclusion of An- glo-Saxon After the inrush of gold seekers in the Spring there will be many more white children in Alaska than at pres- ent, and Congress will soon be asked to increase, the appropriaticn at the disposal of the Commissic 1": of Edu- cation. It is to be hoped ' cle Sam will prove as generous to hi» . cile ones from the States as he ha; ‘n to his 2usky babes of the prirmeva! woods. MAID SALON, ts wow gf ¢ Cetton and P@ari.
