BRITAIN'S NEW GOVERNMENT.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and
a liberal cabinet were sworn into office
in Grout Britain last Monday. There
was little excitement about the pro
ceedings. The seals of office were de
livered by A- J. Balfour to King Ed
ward and the latter turned thecn over
to Sir Henry and his associates. Con
gratuiations were said and things went
on as before.
It is said that Sir Henry Campbell
Bar.nerman, who is a manof great abil
ity, will soon be created an earl by the
king, and that he will become the lib
eral leader in the house of lords. In
that case Herbert Henry Asquiih, who
is one of the strongest men and ablest
lawyers in England, will succeed to the
liberal leadership in the house of com
mons.
The situation looks like a long con
tinued control of British affairs by the
liberal party if it can keep from break
ing up over the Irish <-,uestion. Many
of those who have rejoined the liberal
partv on account of the attitude of the
consarvatives on the taritT had previ
ous'y left it on account of the home
rule program of Gladstone.
The Irish nationalists are well dis
posed toward Campbell-Bannerman and
the liberal party, but they insist upon
home rule for Ireland as the price of
their attachment to them. John Red
mond, leader of the home rulers, says
the Irish question is now foremost in
British politics, and he feels satisfied
that home rule is only a short distance
in the future.
[ ? Chamberlain's radical ,h'.gh taritT
declarations and his influence in forc
ing the conservative party of England
to favor protection in a form somewhat
modified from his own proposal, which
action has forced him and his party
from power, shall result in an Irish
home rule. Chamberlain will not have
lived in vain.
Robert H. McCurdy is following in
the footsteps of his dad. He. too, has
resigned from the Mutual Life Insur
ance Company. He probably has
enough money to do him: he certainly
has had a surfeit of investigation.
The death of Senator Mitchell pro
Tided the way for the tirst democratic
senator Oregon has had since 1S?5, 20
years ago, when the term of Senator
Jchn H. Slater expired.

Is it certain that it Is the boycott
against American goods that caused
those Chinamen at Singapore to refuse
to repair that Standard Oil ship? Might
it not have been an objection to selling
their labor for tainted money?

THIS IS WHY
Conceive Reasons For Pat
ronizing Kinn?e
There are many reasons why we have
been and are able to sell the best goods
tor the lowest prices, why we have
always been and are now giving our
customers the best bargains? the best
articles? and at the same time return
ing to them the most change. Not the
least of thes9 is the fact that we own
our own store and stock ard have no
one with whom to divide the ligltimate
profits of the business.
j Our goods this year were personally
selected in the best markets in the
country for a trade that demands the
best and for which we have learned to
cater. W e have no money invested in
dead stock upon which to earn interest
All we ask is that our Christmas
srifts ? our silverware, our cut glassr
our chin", our jewelry and all the mul
titude of things which we carry? be
examined before you make your selec
tions. You will find them in good taste,
modern, stylish, durable ? in fact the
very bes'. obtainable ? and they witl be
sold as cheaply as you can get them any
place on earth. We are in Skagway to
stay and mean to continue a record of
making a friend of every purchaser.

A. Certain Man Ii This Town
Needs Wak'hina:
Is he your husband, your brother or
your son? We hare netted the poor
fellow gazing longingly at the good
watches In Kern's window, when he
thought of the worn-out, worthless time
piece in hia pocket. Doesn't he de
serve a better one? Does he deserve
any Christmas present? Then, in a
possible list of five hundred givable
things, there is not one that will so per
fectly meet his appreciatioa as a watch
Our stock of watches was never larg
er nor more attractive. With the best
movement that America makes, we
have about every variety of case that
choice may suggest or circumstances
demand.
