In every public service, as in every army, there will be wrongdoers, there will occur misdeeds. This cannot be avoided; but vigilant watch must be kept, and as soon as discovered the wrongdoing must be stopped and the wrongdoers pun ished. ’■Remember that in popular gov ernment we must rely on the people themselves, alike for the punish ment and ths reformation.

No further details of the 1 i cablegram wore given out. I Comm, ".ting on the Associated Press | dispatches, a high administration official ’ | said: - ’ "State department officials are natural-; i ly profoundly gratified that an agreement 1 , Ims been io., bed favorable to the Amei- I icon contention. As was pointed out to night by a high official, the decision is ’ "a complete justification of our claims. ; an evidence of the skill with which the American case has been presented and a . tribut< to the tairntss and broad-mind- ' edr.ess of the British member of the coin- , ti -sion. Lord t'l i.-f Justice Alverstone " . Th.- eff. i't of the decision, it is stated , here, is to have the Alaskan boundary I practically where it is now. The main point of the Canadian contention involves tip out et from the Klondike goitl field, at the head of the Lynn canal, including tlie ports of Skagway and Ilyea, through , which the Klondike business is transact ed. These ports remain .American terri , tory. The decision is taken to concede the American claim to a strip of terri . , tor;.- ten leagues in width from tide wa ter and extending from rhe head of ; Portland cana.i to the I4lst meridian west longitude. The Americans laid es- I . eia! stress upon their contention that i this strip should be measured from the J heads.of estuaries or hays, while the : Canadians argU'd that the measurement ; should be made from the main water of i the ocean. The control of the sites of • Skagway and Dyea. was involved in the I controversy. , initial duty of bringing malefactors ) to the bat of justice must be diligent i in its discharge; yet in the last resort the success of their efforts to purge the public service of corruption must I depend upon the attitude of the ! courts and of the juries drawn from I the people. , T.i nd. rship is of avail only so far as lucre Is w:s, and resolute public semi meat behind it.
