\V.£. rpgd that, .Governor Clark is
‘ strong for Orr." Sure thing.
)■ •' »J. tj
A lajiy residing in Ket< Itikrin has
written an article in favor of home
rule f r Alaska W.io mo e lompet nt
to judge of the merits of home
rule; ttjan .a wpmau?
The people of prince Rupert have
recently passed an ordinance fixing
the amounts to, bp ,paid tor liquor
licences. \V)“ suppose it will be
known as the Beverage hill,
Nb doubt about, the congress just
over trussing ' into history, as the
New's-'Mlner leihfuks; nor, we may
add, is- there inly doubt that most
of the Republicans who'composed it
will shortly pasd Into merited ob
livion.
It'hr rumored that Roosevelt is
going 'to slVirt a’ new party. If
true It is merelv a piece oi polit
ical trickery, and will deceive none.
The new party w'otild he hut a re
flex : of, ..the old. under a new and
proUitdy .high-sounding name.
If.„th,e rumor should turn out
to hje correg.t, the initials "T U."
would have a new significance.
They, w.o.uUl then mean, "Theodore,
Rex." In that event Teddy's arm
orial bearings woyld he a rough
rider, .rampant, slaying a hear.
His .motto would probably be "It
pays to advertise.’
r
Thve selection of Ed. S Orr. as
the Republican standard-bearer is
not sS^iliVjglcal as it would appear
at ft. 8t ''sight. The Republicans
doubtl’esk think that Mr. Orr’s
long "Mtffefiehce in' skinning mules
in Alaska peculiarly fits him to ar
gue thn-poifit With legislative asses
at Washington
The price of beef to the consumer
has increased 50 per cent under the
Republican ■ tariff in' 1- years, al
through stock breeders receive the
same price for a steer ($80) that
they received ill 181*8. It is said that
the packers receive $480 for a steer
dressed, for. market. When will the
people of the United States realize
that they .are being fooled?
Dealing with the extreme heat
at St. Louis, Wednesday's Times
said .that Old Nick himsell would
prefer. Hndes. Certainly, he would.
“There's no place like home" prob
ably . appeals to his Satanic ma
jesty ,a*t much as to the rest of us.
Even apart■ from that a dry heat
Is endurable, and, so tar as we
can leprn, no person in Hell has
ever b?en known to complain of an
excess,of. moisture there,
i _i
V - I
The editor of the Times says
that there is a fitness in the send
ing pf. a. man named Orr as a
representative from a mining coun
try. Well, there.certainly is some
thing In tlfe suggestion. If there is
one thing, that we have enough of
and to.spare in Alaska it's ore, base
and otherwise, and we might as
well sepd out. some of the sur
plus. *TUe fltpess in selecting Mr.
Orr thus, becomes apparent. We
can label hint: .‘Exhibit A: Sample
of Aljp.ka Pry, picked up on the
Valdez^Eitirbanks trail. This spe< 1
uien is below par.”
A Citizen representative asked an
an experlepped prospector to name
the mojjt .serious drawback to the
development of^,Alaskas enormous
mineral wealth., lie .replied: ‘ I he
principal drawback to this country
la a Tacit Of . sufficient epxeri.enced
quartz’*,iheri to demonstrate what
the country contains in tlie mineral
line. '^£haf We need is more Quali
fied prospectors and liberal finan
cial asfcista'het to enable them to go
Into the hills and prospect.” This
la undoubtedly true, and is worthy
of the consideration of capitalists,
large and Bmall. Many a grub-stake
baa led to fortune.
m.'K m it vi i< m ri iikm.
The full text of file platform adopt
ed by the Democratic convention,
held at Juneau on May 2t>. is now to
band, and we are enabled to examine
the documt nt in detail.
In both substance and form the
platform is a veritable Declaration
of Independent e: and we .- ttouil that
ti more < impnhensitc. enlightened
and progressive program has in tei
before been laid before the people
of Alaska. The document shows
more than careful labor; it shows
also keen political insight and a
sound knowledge of Alaska's present
and future needs.
As was to he expet tivl. the pl..t
fi rm contains a strong denunciation
of the lievcridge bill, whitli is de
clared, and with justice, to be tit
eriy at variance with tile elementary
principles of liberty as understood
by a free people. Tit is view can not
be too strongly urged upon al! Via:
kans. Administration pets, are not
wanted in the North. VVhul vv. want,
and what we shall insist upon hav
ing. is complete t oiitrol *f our own
affairs: nothing else will do.
The iniquity of the ai.empt of the
administration.to hand over o.tn new
Ural resources to monopolists is n \t.
dwelt, upon, and also the injus ire
of the wood tax. In this latt r cons
tie tit.n it may lye of interest to our
readers to know that it .costs TKN"
dollars to culled every ONM dollar
of this ttix. such is the extravagant*
of Washington method, of dealing
with this country.
The phi: form aduncates road.4 and
railroads, more lighthouses. a:i;l
ter postal and telegraphic nitiiniii
nh-ation throughout the country. Iti
speaking * »f railroads, the .platform,
specifically advises hat the control
and regulation of the -ame should
remain forever in the hands of the
people. as in the case- of Texas, for
install e: and that the bonded in
debtedness should he limited to the
actual cost of construe-*', n. Thus
would prevent over-capitalization,
with all its attendant e ves of ex
tortionate* rates for freight and pass
on gers.
The* Republican party receives a
severe rebuke for not correcting the
abuses of tne mining law. and the
Democratic candidate i>s pledged to
active and earnest effort to abolish
the present methods of staking by
power of attorney and to insist upon
the performance of asses/m tit work
equal to $100 for every l'O acres
staked, including those claims stak
ed in associations.
The operation of the road tax L.
declared to work a hardship upon
the poor man by compelling him to
pay more than his fair share* of the
tax, and the Republic an party is ex
plicitly charged with passing an act
to relieve tin- l'l.-h trust from all tax
ation.
A clause in tile platiorm lav.us.
tlie eua tiuent of laws regulating tlwj.
hours of labor, and insuring adetituite
protection to llic lives and heal'll o!
all employes; hut declares emphati
cally that there is no hope of. ob
taining the enactment of such laws
at Washington, where they do not
understand local conditions, and. in
any case, are not sufficiently, inter
ested to care.
The platform doses with a deuun-.
elation of the Republican administra
tion for its attempt to deprive the
people of Alaska of their inherent
rights, declaring such tactics to be
an insult to our manhood and Intel
ligence. Each state and territory
regulates its own affairs, and why ndt
i Alaska? Our own men, working in
our own country, can manage our
affairs far better than a bureau id’
irresponsi'bles at Washington, who
only succeed to office through ne
potism or at tile dictation of the cor
porations.
After reading the platform care
fully, everybody must be convinced
that the election of a democrat to
congress would mean the'commence
ment of a new age for AtasTsal
THE SI(i\.\|j COItlN.
Tlie annual report of the chief.sto.
nal officer of the United States army
has the following to say regarding
the enlisted men quartered in Alas

‘'The men of the Signal Corps. as}
