NEGLECT OF ALASKA.
It la the bad habit of congress to
neglect and delay Important lega
tion demanded by Justice and exped
iency tor the benetlt o t our outlying
possessions. These dependencies have
B0 votes that can effect the politics
o t the country and tor this unworthy
reason their claims are given only tha
the most grudging attention by con
gressmen. It U one ot the evils o
government without representation.
Alaska U the Cinderella ot the Am
erican family. Ri<*? In natural re*
sources than any of our other distant
possessions, and occupied by a popu
lation more distinctively American
than any of the other national de
pendencies. nevertheless congress can
scarcely be persuaded to give the
most casual attention to Its needs.
Alaska is given nominal representa
tion in congress by a delegate who is
not permitted to vote. Its present
representative Is James Wlckersham.
who Is urging on congress the enact
ment ot relief designed to give the
existing rude and primitive form of
government In that region some sort
of administrative and legislative back
bone. In a recent address In support
of his measure Judge Wlckersham
gave some particulars of the natural
wealth of the territory and the pro
gress of Its development, from which
we quote:
??We have more coal than Penns>
vania, West Virginia and Ohio; more
gold that California and Colorado put
together; more copper than Montana
and Michigan. Alaska Is a more
healthful place. The sick and the
halt are not to be found there. Only
vigorous, sturdy, progressive men
have established themselves there,
4nd according to the census of 1900
we had a population of 63,092. Alas
ka covers an area ot 600.000 square
miles, every mile containing valuable
mineral deposits. Alaska virtually
feeds herself. When we get more
people and more capital there and the
immense territory is opened and pro
perly worked, she will not only feed
herself, but millions of other persons.
We have discovered the quartz from
which the placer gold comes. This
means that the gold Industry will be
worked Indefinitely In Alaska. A rail
road Is being built up the Copper ri
ver. This will enable us to get our
coal, copper and other minerals and
other products out to the Pacific.
Sometimes we hear that "the Alaska
gold fever" la over. This is not true.
When I left Fairbanks In February.
1 saw 163 camp trains going Into
the Interior. Probably as many more
men. horses and sleds had gone Into
the Interior before 1 started for Wash
Ington, and an equal number since I
left. This gives an idea as to whether
gold mining In Alaska Is a "fever"
and as to whether the "fever is
| qwf." _

Alaska does not ask for money or
appropriations. It has been a pay
ing proposition from the start and yet
ita profitable development is only be
ginning. The gold, of course, came
first in process of exploitation, but
this is only a small part of its wealth.
The copper, the coal, the lucrative
fisheries and other forms of wealth
are virtually inexhaustible. Now con
gress is unable or unwilling to give
Alaska legislation the attention to
which it Is entitled. It is only just
that the territory should be' given a
legislature competent to enact such
laws as the development of the coun
try may demand. ? San Francisco Call
HUNTING TROUBLE.
If a man goes out on the trail of
Woe (there's always a trail behind
It), he won't have a very long way to
go, he's thundering sure to find It.
The man Is foolish who roams the
laud for Trouble until he's found It;
if he had a bushel of ulce white sand
be wouldn't have sense to pound It.
If people on earth would not give
chase to Trouble, when she Is flitting,
methlnks that Trouble would hide her
face, aud, tend to her private knitting
Our time is short and our way is brieij
and the road Is rough aud rutty;
and if we tag at the heels of Grief,
it shows that we're going nutty. It
was long ago that I up and swore
that I would be gay and cheerful; "I
won't be seen with a head that's sore,
or an eye that's red and tearful; I'll
smiling rise from my downy couch,
and smile till the evening closes, aud
I'll never carry a sign of grouch, till
I turn up my toeses." I've tried to
live by hat motto grand, as close
as a man may do it, and Trouble for
me is dead and canned, though t'oth
ermost chaps pursue it. ? Walt Mason.
SYMPATHY.
HE blessings which the poor and
weak can scatter
Have t!*lr own season. 'TIs a lit
tle thing
To glvo a cup of water, yet Its
draft
Of cool refreshment, drained by fevered
May give a shock of pleasuro to the
frame
More exquisite than when necturean Julco
Renews the life of Joy In happiest hours.
It la a little thing to speak a phrase
Of common comfort which by dally use
Has almost lost Its sense, yot on tho ear
Of him who thought to die unmourned
'twill fall
Like choicest music, till the glazing ey*
With gentle tears, relax the knotted hand
To know the bomis of fellowship agalD
And shed on tho departing soul a sense
More precious than the benlson of friends
About tho honored deathbed of the rich?
To him who else were lonely that another
Of the great family Is near and feels.
? Talfourd.
FROM "THE TROUBADOUR."
QJO glad a life was never, love.
D as that which childhood leads,
Before It learns to sever, lore,
The roses from the weeds.
When to be very duteous, love,
la all It has to do,
And every flower Is beauteous, lev*
And every folly true.
