THURSDAY.....Dec.
GOLD BELONGS 10 U. §.
Important Decision ‘as to the Cape Nome
Tide Lands.
A very important question has. just
been decided by Commissioner Herrmann of the General Land Office, governing placer mining on the beach of
the Bering sea, off the coast of Alaska,
at and near Cape Nome, the new gold
figid. The decision affects mining/and
locations embracing tide lands below
the line of ordinary high tide. Numerous applications are pending before
the Interior Department as to locations upon such lands, which have been
‘demonstrated to contain gold in marvelous quantities. Individuals or associations of persons.and incorporated
mining companies are seeking concessions from the Government by which
they may acquire exclusive mining
rights and privileges pertaining to
such tide lands.
The commissioner decides that tide
lands in the district of Alaska are not
public lands, subject to disposal to individuals, under any of the existing
land laws of the United States, and
that the department has no statutory
authority to make concessions to individuals of any mining rights pertaining to such tide lands,
A citation is made by the Commissioner to the case of Shivelly versus
Boalby, decided by the United States
Sapreme Court, in which it was held
that the United States upon acquiring
aterritory, whether by cession from
one of the States or by treaty with »e
foreign country, or by discovery and
settlement, takes the title and the dominion of lands below high water mark
of tide waters for the benefit of the
whole people-and in trust for the fature
States to be created out of the territory,
and it was further held that Congress
has not undertaken by general laws to
dispose of lands below high water mark
of tide waters in a territory, but, unless in case of some international duty
or public exigency, has left the administration and disposition of the sovereign rights in such waters and lands to
the control of the States respectively,
which are admitted into the Union.

A LESSON IN TACT.
An Instanee of Gentle Consideration
That Comes from the
Slums.
14,
Almost every large American city has
its ghetto, or Jewish quarter, that
swarms with peddlers, old clothes dealers and sweat shops. Mercy is not to
be expected here, and tact is supopsed
to be unknown among such people, except among traders in selling their
goods. The following incident happened in the Jewish quarter in Boston
last winter, and is worth telling, because it commends human nature, especially the human nature found in the
slums:
A child was born in a short street
where nearly all the signs upon the
stores are printed in Hebrew characters. The parents were very poor and
very proud. In the neighborhood was a
Christian mission, and although Jewish
children attended singing and sewing
classes within its doors, some of their
parents preferred to starve rather than
accept its charity, and the family in
which this child was born was one of
that class. The father and mother pecsistently refused all aid, although there
was no coal in the house and no money
for food. Then for some reason, probably pride, they refused help from people of their own religion.
All the dwellers in the neighborhood
were exceedingly poor, and could ill
afford to give charity; but here was
a starving family and a dying babe,
united with stubborn pride, and something had to be done.
So a purse was made up by these poor
people out of their petty earnings and
divided into three parts. Each little sum
wasintrusted to different Jewish tradesmen. That same day, one of their small
tradesmen climbed up to the povertystricken tenement, and represented
himself as a coal agent.
“Can I sell you some coal this morning?” he asked, opening the door.
_-.~Zhe man ‘shook his head apathetically* :
“But,” replied the improvised agent,
“I gif you drust. One mont~—tree mont
—all you want. I drist you.”
“Ah!” answered the man with surprise. “Why do you trust me?”
“You haf a good name,” said the
agent. “I must introdooce mine peesness.”
Soon a load of coal was on its way to
the house to warm the mother and her
infant.The coal dealer had hardly left before
a man from a butcher’s shop near by
came and repeated the drama of charity. Then, not long after, followed a
‘new milkman, profuse with offers of
“drust,” who promised a quart of milk
a day until the baby could get better.
Thus was the family saved from freezing and starvation.
Now, this happened in what is known
as the slums. This delicate way of
meeting a crisis was not the act of a
refined and aristocratic philanthropist.
As the narrator told the writer: “It
was the act of dirty Russian Jew peddlers.” One can almost pardon the dirt
when such gentle consideration if
shown.—Youth’s Companion.
