Ip the sensational language which is
attributed to General Greelv in a press
gram reprinted in this paper is authentic,
then the general has shifted his name
from the dunce column to that of luna
tic. Suppose the people of Alaska were
to destroy the kind of authority under
which they now struggle. Then what?
Military rule. And suppose that that
military rule should be weak and vas
cillating, dependent more on the hang
of its monocle than the exigency of the
situation, then what? To answer this
last question would be to explain a
dark blot the general permitted on
American history twenty years ago.
At the culmination, the killing and eat
ing of Henry ol Iowa was not wrong,
but a few weeks before a little of stern
diseression would have carried a coterie
of mediocre individuals through a period
of hard trials with vastly more credit.

had struck pay and that he had been
enjoined from taking out a dump until
the courts decide whether his ground is
in the United States of America or the
kingdom of the Thingumhub of Thitiet.
Ik they could only realize it, there
have been in the more (Opulous districts
enough attempts to influence grand ju
ries to hold the attention of the courts
for a long time without going into the
out-of-the-way places for persons to
make an example of.

Nebraska Was a Leader
in Reform Legislation
The thirtieth session of the Nebraska
legislature, lately adjourned, probably
; broke all records in the amount of re
form legislation enacted. The “square
deal” measures signed by the governor
include an anti-pass law, a two-eent
passenger-rate law, a maximum freight
ryte law, a law reducing express charges,
a law reducing charges made by stock
yards commission merchants, a law
prohibiting bucket shops from doing
business in the state, an anti-lobbv law,
a pure-food law, a child-labor law, a
terminal taxation law, an employes’
liability law, a law putting breweries
out of the saloon business, a law making
it illegal to employ night railroad tel
egraphers or towermen under 21 years
of age, a reciprocal demurrage law, a
law creating the recently elected railway
commission, and a great number of mi
nor statutes affecting the operation of
corporations.

Parable of the Little Dog
Who Maintained His Eights
A small but belligerent dog was left in
charge of a buggy while his muster attended
to some business in a neighboring store. A
large brindle-complexioned cur happened
along that way, and. seeing nothing about
the buggy to guard it except the small dog.
concluded to help himself to some provisions
he suw in the vehicle, supposing that his size
would bluff the guard.
To his astonishment the small dog did no
bluff worth a rent, but. on the contrary,
made a running jump, climbed all over the
hrindle cur ami bit him in four different
places within three seconds. Tt was a great
surprise party to the hrindle cur. and, tilling
the surrounding atmosphere with howls of
pain, he lit out dow n the street.
As the small dog quietly lay down under
the buggy again, he remarked softly to him
self: ' I have noticed during my association
with both dogs and men that nerve and
activity count for a blamed sight more than
size and hair.” Valley (Texas) Farmer.
