The oeople of the Third Judi
cial Division arc certainly in a
deplorable condition. \N ickersham
the judge of that district lias been
back in Washington since last
September trying to get another
four year job. The court commis
sioners have scattered and gone,
some of them left the territory and
yet Wickersbam is hastening lmek
to draw dowry, his $(>.>00 for a years
service on the bench. The people
op there are getting desperate.
There is no way of settling mat
ters by litigation and eases al
ready in the court arc lying in
Statu quo. No writs of habeas
corpus can be issued, and men are
lying in jail in direct violation of
the constitution of the United
States. No bills of exception can
be settled. No citations on ap
peal or writs of error can be issued
and no matter how erroneous the
judgment no appeal can be per
fected. The whole machinery of
equity is completely i He. And all
this because one certain man wants
the office when it is obvious as
anything well can be that his use
fulness lias been so impaired that
his future services are absolutely
worthless as far as justice is con
cerned.—Transcript.
It is to be earnestly hoped that
the report of the intention of the
war department to move the cable
office from Valdez to Fort Liseum
will prove to be unfounded. Val
dez is the natural site for the
cable office. It was the proner
place when the office was instituted
and no change has occured since
that time to warrant the removal
of the office to Fort Liseum. As
the war department well knows the
town of V'aldez is so situated that
it is the most important port in
the vast territory of Alaska. When
Time in the fullness of his promise
shall have made of Alaska a vast
teeming commonwealth and the
great business arteries of the
northland shall throb and pulsate
in unison with the outside world,
Valdez will be the heart—the
great supply center of Alaska.
What New York city is to the
States so is Valdez to Alaska, and
« would ne as reasoname to move
a cable oflice from New York city
to Willits Point, merely because a
United States Post is there, as to
move it from Valdez to Fort Lis
cum. While the war department
is in charge of the cable, it is true
that the cable is less for the pur
pose of war than for commerce.
It was contemplated when the
cable was proposed, to rdvance
the welfare of the inhabitants of
Alaska, and the war department
was put in control more for the
reason that it is the only depart
ment that could well handle a
government cable than for any
necessity which that department
might have for a cable. The war
department should not arbitrarily
change the location of the cable
oflice, the cable was laid for the
best interests of Alaska and the
best interests of Alaska crave the
retention of the cable oflice at
Valuez.
Our contemporary in the issue
. of last Saturday, says that the fire
men will take part in the Fourth
of July parade, attired in their
new uniforms, which consists of
caps, shirts and belts. We arc
positive that the city council will
prevent any such exhibition.
