The Alaska trade would; nor be technically foreign commerce, but it would be'none the 4ess valuable for that, and it is this trade that has been . especially ; valuable to Seattle. , In fact, a large proportion of that city's business is done with Alaska. It is a frequently expressed opinion men that Portland merchants and manufacturers could distrust the war's T ..... . ... .... , . , ft . work up a large trade there if transportation facilities bv an all-water route were provided. That this could be successfully, done is asserted by men tne situation, jci aomcnow ii is not none, rormtr i tempts have failed, but were not the failures due to a lack of. energy and persistency? The Journal pretends to no expert knowledge on the subject, but agrees with the intelligent general opinion advanced that another and more vigorous and persistent effort should be made in tAareTrractiflrrr"Thc big" uieahanU the ones most nearly interested, but n increased volume of commerce and trade is a desideratum to the city as -whole. .'.

' Appalling as' all this is, by far the most startling is the unmistakable evidence that the bloody . hand of the bureaucratic brigand, is thet'ehief source of this terrible calamity.

These so-called loyalist demonstrators began, their work with slight collisions here and there; then they began to indulge in looting whenever and wherever an occasion presented itself. Any resistance to these looting operations naturally led to rioting;, and from this it was but a step to redhanded violence and crime in all of . their hideousness. The brass-buttoned gentry, representing the majority of law and order, not only made no attempt to check this state of affairs, but helped themselves to a share of the loot. Such is the nature of the-governing machine of Russia. And yet civilized powers continue to treat the despotism of the north on terms of equality, and extend to its ac credited representatives all the courtesies and considera tions to which civilize powers only are justly entitled! ; ;.,.' ,.; J., , ,: The Orefcfoian comes to the surface .with a belated and ndOjuite satisfactory explanation, of the delay in balding the soldiers' monument.
