Public men and newspapers aro all the time hunting about for a policy and many of them ignore or oyertake the very 'policy which is the safest and b'-gt and which is always in order. We mean the policy of genuine Americanism. The newspapers and leaders of both parties who are sturdy companions of Amer ican institutions and doctrines, and those whose talk hasaflayor of jingoism in it, are always pop ular. The t reat mass of oir peo ple have no patience with the lo ries and others in our large cities who follow eyery fashion and adopt every idea that has its origin abroad. Americanism is the winning policy. The popular stattsman of the future will be the man who stands by the"" Monroe doctrine and who is willing to draw his word in its defense- the man "who demands that our foreign policy and commercial systems shall be shaprd in the interpst of Ainericans the man who is de termined that Americans shall rule America and that our politics, finances and business shall be free from the domination of any foreign power. If he goes so far as to advocate the protection of American citizen in every quar ter of the globe und calls a halt to the aggressions of Europe in this hemisphere he will be an ideal leader and note-shaying and bucktt-shop aristocracy will be unable to stand in the way. Be an American and don't be afraid of a little jingoism. So long as our people have a spark of human nature they will like this policy and it will win. There is do life, nothing substantial, nothing permanent in any of the un-American makeshifts which some of our politicians apd news papers make their stock in trade. Americanism is the only true policy for Americans! Atlanta Constitution. ENGLAND PACING A CRISIS. What is England to do about it? She must fight Venezuela or arbitrate, and if she proposes to permanently oecupy Venezuela's territory the United States will have something to say. She must fight Russia or lose her foothold in the east. The Russians are preparing to occu py Manchuria and start their railroad down the Liao-Tung pen insula, and the British will have to seize and hold Nanking if they propose to command the com merce of the most extensive and prosperous portion of China. But England also has other pressing matters to look after. She has a row on hand with Tur key, and it promises no profit, because if there is to be a division of what is left of the Oktoman em pire the other powers will insist that England has already had her share in the shape of Egypt and its provinces in equitable Africa; which are occupied by the British. The other nations are in a po sition to give trouble. Australia -wants Macedonia, Russia desires to annex Kurdistan and seize Constantinople, and her author ity is steadily growing in China. Prance has always claimed Syria and is ready to annex southwes tern China. Germany has her eye on central China. Altogether the plans of these nations must weaken England. The outcome may not be war, but it is probable that Russia will in crease her powers in the Pacific, while France will advance her in fluence in the -Mediterranean. The result can hardly fail to be a marked weaking of British pres tige. Exchange. NATIVES OF ALASKA. A Party of Eskimo Viit-d tbe Public Schools of Atlanta. Three eskimo children, securely wrapped is their Heavy furs, visited the public schools of the city yester day morning and delighted the chil dren. . Early in the morning the visitors from the land of perpetual snow and ice, in company with Capt. Miner W. Bruce, entered a cab and drove to the Girls'1 High school. Later in the day six of the public schools were visited, and an interest ing talk was made by Captain Bruce. Mr. Bruce is the agent sent by the United States government five years ago to make an investigation of the natives of Alaska and to make a re port of their condition. He has spent five years in the'dugouts of the eski mos and has thoroughly familiarized himself with the contour of the coun try and the manner in which the eski mo spends his life. After his longlresidence in Alaska Captain Bruce started for the United States several weeks ago with a party h( six of the natives. His purpose in bringing the party with him was to show to the civilized people of the United States just what the natives are, and also to appear before con gress and ask for an appropriation. He brings back with him the report that the natives are almost at the point of starvation, and unless some thing is done in their behalf, the race will die from hunger. When he reached Washington with his unique party he found congress had adjourn ed, and it was on this account that he came to Atlanta and the exposition. The first visit yesterday morning was to the Girls' High school, on Washington street. His visit had - al ready been announced to the young ladies by Superintendent Slaton, and they were eager with expectancy. The party arrived at the school build ing at 10 o'clock, and were conducted into the assembly room. The stu dents were seated in the room and the eskimo children were directed to the platform. Two females and one boy consti tuted the party. The boy was twenty-one years old and weighs two hun dred pounds. The older of the girls is seventeen and weighs about one hun dred and sixty pounds. . The little girl, who was a twin sister, Is but five years old. There are six in the party, but only three were at the schools yes terday. The eskimos were clad in heavy furs and wore their head cloths and arctfc shoes. While the - children studied the movements of the strangers Captain Bruce talked about the life and land of the eskimos. Captain Bruce said that the inhabi tant of the snowy fields of Alaska was a peculiar individual. For ten long months the eskimo lay in his hut of snow and dreamed the long winter days, looking steadfastly forward to the coming of the short season of sunshine. There is no summer in Alaska, but the sun shines perpetu ally for two months, July and August. At the close ot August the eskimo builds his house of walrus bones and ice, and constructs a long winding vestibule to keep the wind from blow ing through. The entrance or vesti bule is very long and crooked, and af fords the. only protection from the keen, cutting blast of the winter's wind. The house is built in the shape of a dome and is held together by huge pieces of walrus bone. The roof and sides are thatched with pieces of ice, over which the snow drifts, making it practically air-tight. Into this home the eskimo crawls on his all fours, and for the next ten months does not see the light of day. He is buried in the snow and manages to live on the small quantity of food that he secures during the two months of sunshine. From the first day of Sep tember to the last of June, the whole land is in total darkness. It is one long night of sleet and snow nd ice. Into the building of .snow the rein deers and dogs are carried, and to gether this peculiar family lives through the fearful season. As Captain Bruce talked, the stu dents paid close attention. They carefully eyed tbe visitors and in spected their clothing. The eskimos were wrapped in heavy furs. The inner garment was made of sealskin and the fur side was next to the body. . The second, or outer gar ment, was, of the same material, but the fur was turned outside. The same dress is worn by male and female, the only difference being that the jacket of the female is scalloped while the jacket of the male is cut square. In this manner the sexes are distinguished. Another distinguish ing feature is the mark on the lips and chin of the female. When a pirl baby is born, the mother cuts its lip and chin and rubs the incission with a mix ture made from driftwood. The stain of the wood remains forever, while the cut heals up. It amounts to about the same thing as the India ink marks frequently indulged in by sailors and others. The style of dress is very peculiar, but is ell adapted to the climate in which the eskimo lives. All of the na tives of Alaska wear pants. The gar ments fit them very tightly, and all cold air is kept out. The pants of the female are made in one piece with the shoes and leggins. The pants of tbe male are, however, separate from the shoe. In addition to tbe pants there is but one other garment, and that is a short jacket, which reaches to the hips. . , . After the descriptive talk by Cap tain Bruce, fhe eskimos danced and sung for the children. The little child,-five years old, danced well, us ing only her head and body. She does not remove her feet from the floor, but extends her hands in grace ful curves and bends, and bows the body and head. . Though the party does not speak a word of English, they are very quick to catch tunes, and several songs they sang were set to the music of popular airs of the United States. The young est of the group sang "The Bicycle Built for Two." She has a clear, strong voice, and her singing was loudly applauded by the ladies. "They like applause," said Captain Bruce, "and will do anything if they. think their service is " appreciated. They have been treated very kindly wherever they have been since leav ing their homes in Alaska, arid have evidently been well pleased." After spending several minutes at the Girls' High school Captain Bruce carried the party to six of the schools of the city. Crew street school was first visited. There was no hall in which all the children could assemble, and on this account the strange visitors were car ried to the rear door of the building, and the steps were used as a platform, and the children of the school stood in the yard andsurrounded the eskimos. The same programme was carried out as the one presented at the Girls' High school. The' children were all entertained and highly delighted. The songs df the eskimos were well sung. To Fraser street, Ira, Form wait, Walker and Davis schools the party were driven, and the children at these schools were given a lesson from life. Captain Bruce has made a study of the life of the eskimo. For five years, as the special agent from the govern ment of the' United - States, he has been associated with them "and has lived in the huts of snow. "They are the only race of people on the globe who know nothing of God and do not worship idols. They have more than twenty different lan guages in Alaska, and can easily learn the English language if given an op portunity. "When an eskimo dies, the body is wrapped in a skin and is thrown far out on the slippery ice, where it -is left and is never again visited. The smallest of the children earn their own support. When the two months of sunshine begin, the little children are placed at a hole dug out in the ice, and with a baited ivory hook, sit for hours v aiting for a fish to bite. The race is now, however, on the point of starvation. I am on my way from the exposition to Washington, where I shall appear before congress and ask for an appropriation. The reindeers are fast disappearing, and almost ev ery food resource has been exhausted. These people I have with me were brought from Port Clarence, which was established by the United States. It is but eighty miles from that port across Behring straits to the point where reindeer can be secured - in abundance. V want the government to make an appropriation for the pur chase of reindeers from this place, so that they may be carried over to the Port and be b reeded. Unless some thing is soon donethe eskimos will perish. Their condition is pitiable, and I believe the government will go to their rescue." Constitution. YJ H ere a source of comfort.
