he observed in many happy
homes and in many prosperous
communities, for within that
period Alaska will have become
a stable commonwealth, produc
ing more riches in comparison
lo its population than probably
any other section of the globe.
When congress of the United
States begins to realize that A1
a'ska is populated with loyal and
patriotic American citizens, do
ing such pioneer work as our
forefathers did in the wilds of
the Middle states, and accords
us the same rights extended to
them, then will the productive
ness of the great Territory
gradually unfold itself in the en
richment of the world.
The past forty years have
boon decades marked hy shame
ful neglect. Its people have
been compelled |o suffer under
makeshift ami patchwork gov
ernment; we have been made
the victims of bureaucratic ex
periment* and departmental pro
crastination and congressional
ignorance. Yet we are here
building cities, founding enter
prises. ron,ring families and do
ing .just I hose things which
have made rich and powerful
■states out of the territories
traversed by Lewis and Clark in
the earlly part of the nineteenth
century. It is lo be hoped that
those we leave behind us fifty
years hence will have more cause
to he loyal to the Stars and
Siripos than we, as we earnest
ly hope they .will prove as loyal
to the Union as present Alas

In this very proper view of
the ease our State department
recently addressed a note to the
Nicaraguan government making
plain our policy of demanding
better conduct in the future on
the part of the Southern repub
lics, especially in: Central Amer
ica. The terms of that note have
created a profound sensation
throughout Latin America, for,
though addressed to Nicaragua, it
has been taken a)s a general
warning to all concerned.
The action was timely and
just. There are too many vile
guns down there, and loo much
bad temper. We are for trade
and decorous conduct and im
provement in the welfare of all
men and nations, and should
not stand for destruction of life
and properly.
Mexico, besides, falls within
I he rule. Mexico would long
since have been pacified and in
way of recovery from her woes
if there bad been wit and emprise
in I lie While House. They should
all be made to behave themselves
as we Iry lo do.
