TORIES AND OFFICES
The few tories who remain to snap
and snarl at those who are seek
ing to secure the American right of
self-government for those citizens of
the republic who reside in Alaska are
wont to proclaim that the supporters o'
terri'orial government are inspired to
activity in order that they might get
offices. How lacking in good 'aith is
this charge is demonstrated I y the fat",
that not one person of those who are
leading the battle for self-government
in this district is an aspirant for office.
Not one, so far as known, would accept
an office if it were tendered him. Sev
eral of them have refused offices that ]
have been offered to them. On the |
other hand there is not a plum jarred
loose from the federal tree by the agi- j
tation for territorial government that |
a torv sack is not gaping wide to re
ceive it.
A few people, who are very noiselv
In favor of territorial government at
times when the agitation in its favor is
more than usually active but who are
?ery silent when they meet with oppo
aition, are probably looking for office,
but they do not count. Their influence
Is more than off-set by those federal
officials who earnestly support self-gov
ernment for the district notwithstand
ing that the establishment of a terri
tory here would practically legislate
them out of office.
This peculiarity of the situation in
Alaska applies to the towns as well as
the individuals. The people of Juneau
permit the tories of that town to re
strain them from joining in any move
ment for the advancement of the dis
trict or for securing the right of self
government, yet Juneau's maw is kept
in prime condition to receive all the
specific fruits resulting from the labors
of those who have not forgotten to
bring their American principles with
ihem to Alaska.
The Alaskan tory is pretty much of a
humbug.
So David B. Hill, the great demo
cratic boss, was a pensioner of the life
insurance combination. When John
McCall was on the stand, explaining
his contributions for republican cam
paign purposes, he said he had been
pestered with democrats looking for
money, too. This was denied by demo
cratic campaign managers. McCall
did not go deeper into the subject.
Maybe from his view point he told the
truth. Probably he thought David B.
Hill was the democratic party. That
would not be an unusual mistake In
New York stale, if, indeed, it were a
mistake.
Senator Gorman has requested to be
relieved from the position as demo
cratic senatorial leader on account of
his health, and the democrats of the
senate have almost unanimously de
clared themselvee in favoi of Senator
Bailey, of Texas, to be his successor.
The Texan, howi ver says he will not
accept the place. Hd says it is too
hard for him to remain agreeable un
der all conditions and to all persons,
whether he agrees with them or ha*
respect for them or not, to be a party
leader.
Gov. Brady is not omitting to make
use of bis notoriety to advertise the
miniog company with which he is con
nected. He says he continues to advise
his friends to buy stock In it.
A coon down in Texas killed a man,
and when arrested admitted the act.
Asked why. he said, "for fun," He
w&s lynched.
There would be something wrong
about a session of congress if Senator
Tillman did- not toss someone on his
pitchfork for a time.
Treat your feet to a new
pair of Behrends' shoes.

circumstances may require. She has j
been overhauled since leaving the

EARLY ALASKAN
IXPIORFB DIES
Montreal, Jan. 5 ? Francois Merciei,
the prominent French-Canadian diplo
mat and explorer, is dead. Mr. Mercier
claimed that he was the first white man
to explore Alaska, which was then a
Russian po?sesaion. When the penin
sula was bought by the Uuited States
in 1868, he was among those who went
abroad to negotiate with the Russian
government.
The Grip
"Before we c?n sympathize with
others, we most have suffered ou
seK'es. " No one can relize (he suffer
ing attendact upon an a'tack of the
grip, unless he has had the actual ex
perience. There is probably no disease
that causes so much phsical and mental
agony, or which so successfully defies
medical aid, All danger from the grip,
however, may be avoided by the prompt
use of Chamberlain s Cough Rtmedy.
Among the tens of thousands who have
used this remedy, not one case has ever
been reported that has resulted in
pneumonia or that has not recovered.
