Tin* very modest (?) demands of
I'nrjrt# in the negotiations between
tier and iIn* United Sta'cs in regard
to the boiindry lint; which seperates
tier from our possessions in Alaska,
lias nl present laid the conference of
tbe Joint High Commission up for
repuirs. It leaks out now through
English sources just why an agree
inrnl wns not reached before an ad
journment was had. England thinks
i„ was through the uveraciou* incon
sistency of Uncle Sam in not con
senting to Canada's demands and it
would seem us if t.iatis a righteous
decision. Canada in her diplomacy
in this ntfair hus shown plainly that
the whelp is a worthy desoendent of
tbe lion and shows the same weak
ness for grabbing territory that does
not belong to her that has ever char
acterized the mother country. It is
said she asks that the line be located
on the east shore of the Lynn canal,
a narrow strip of water extending
many miles inland hut on a parallel
with the ocean. Upon an arm there
of on the east side of the canal lies
the city of Juneau This territory
was occupied and settled many years
ago by Russia and no man ever ques
tioned her claim and when the U. P.
purchased ail the rights of Russia to
that country the territory in contro
versy was ceded to us by tbe right
of that purchase. Since gold has
been discovered in great quanliliis
contiguous to tills territory the Cana
(iiun customs oflicials in the nortli
have forced the line west from its
proper location so us to lake in a
trail to the Klondike for the purpose
of collecting custom dudes that they
had no light to, and now they have
concluded u sea port must be had
and for that purpose they claim ter
ritory to the Lynn canal.
When the Vauci uver dispute was
up years ago the jealousies of south
tin slave holders toward the north
played into the hands of Great Rri
tain and gave them possession of a
vast territory that justly was includ
ed in our former purchases. Old rnen
will siill remember the cry of our
people of • fifty four forty or fight,’’
Rui English diplomacy coupled with
Bout hern haired of free soil gave to
them unreasonable demands. To-day
the northern half of the western
hemisphere presenis a different face
and the old war cry, though modifi
ed to suit the presant demands, will
echo in both north and south and
would be adliear d to if necessary
even to the point of ‘'fight.” We
claim uought bulour own and Eng
land should lime honor enough 10
recognize our lights. Though it is
In zt 11 north she must not undertake
to steal ii or trouble will eusue,
for “Our rights We will maiolaiue.’'

Dear I.issa. thy labors art) ended, anil calm

We layed thee where sorrow will never mo
lest;
Cut down from among us like earth's ripened
grain.
In yon home of gladness thou’st garner'd

We'll ntlss thee, our friend, and fondly we'll
speak.
Thy goodness and kindness, with tear moist

And when we shall gather, who sadly re

Thy mem ry shall bloom in Us freshness

Then rest thee, beloved one. from toll and
from care;
At home with the master. In mansions so
fair;
Thy soul is gathered away from life's pain.
We know we shall meet the. dear friend
again.
