LIGHT IS BREAKING
A ray of real, uncolored light hai
worked its way into the editorial head
of the Juneau Kecord-Miner, and that
paper very sensibly takes up the tight
against those wfio would use their in
fluence to obstruct the efforts of the
newly elected delegates to congress
from this district. Referring to this
subject the Kecord-Miner says:
"The returns from Southeastern
Alaska show that these gentlemen were
not the choice of a few localities, but
the great majority of all the are in
their favor, and they are the choice,
under the ancient and honorable doc
trine of majority rule, of the whole
of Alaska. It is, therefore, as we view
the situation, rank nonsense for the
disaffected minority to keep up its dis
gruntled howl. There is one sort of
man who is always high among his
political associates, and that is the man
who can lose gracefully. Nothing good
will come of anti-election backbiting
and obstructionist!-. The way to make
the best of the situation is to jump in
and be of all the assistance possible to
the successful parties, and leave off the
fight until the nest campaign? that is,
if we are honest and sincere in our
desire for the welfare of the territory.
"If these who are not pleased over
the results of the election conceive it
their duty to oppose Mr. Cale's efforts
in Congress instead of letting the
matter rest as a case of sour grapes
and turning helper, of course it is
possible his -chances of securing any
notable legislation are remote.' This, J
however, is not good sense or good
citizenship, and will result in the de- 1
tjchment of some nasal appendsge as a
alap at the subjoined pbysiogomy."
GREAT EDITOR AND CITIZfcN
DIES
The death of Edward Rosewater,
editor of the Omaha Bee. removed from
a life of activities one of the leading
exponents of the best in journalism and
citizenship on the American continent.
While acti7e in party matters Mr.
Roae water was always fearless and in
dependent- He fought sham, corrup
tion and dishonest politics with all the
ability which he possessed, and if he
could not accomplish the ends which he
sought within his party he would fight
in that party which represented his
ideals for the moment. Mr. Rosewater
was a strong republican ? that is, he
was an earnest believer in the principles
of the republican party? but he never
hesitated to use the tremeodious in
fluence of his fearless and widely circu
lated newspaper to defeat that party
whenever he believed it to be in the
hands of a corrupt machine, or dom
inated by the railroads or other corpo
rations whose intersts were not those
of the masses.
Edward Kose water will be sincerely
mourned by those who have followed
his splendid career. He was a magnif
icent citizen and a great editor.
It is denied at Seward that Senator
Turner sent any dispitches asking the
officers of the railroad company to use
their influence with the employees of
the company in the interest of Gov.
Swiueford and Judge Mullen in the
recent election. It is said he sent a
wire in his personal capacity to a dem
cratic friend at Seward, saying that he
would like to see Swinefor i and Mellen,
as the democratic candidate^ elected.
The dispatches tell us that Mayoi
McClellan will support Jerome for the
democratic nomination for governor ol
New York. It is not a case of hatiDj
Jerome less but Hearst more.
Judge Alton B. Parker, former dem
craiic nominee for president, has beet
elected president of the American Bai
Association.

spector anil makes his salary $300 per

lie works and public property in coi- s
tracting with W. S. Sparks to make re- i

Pain from a Burn Promptly R Iieved
by Chamberlain's P,.iu Balm
Mr. James N. Nichols, a merchant]
and postmaster a Vernon, Conn., nuke*
the following statement: "A little child ;
of Michael Strauss was recently in great j
pain from a burn on the hand, and as
cold applications only increased the in- j
flammation, Mr. Strauss came to me
for something to stop the little one's:
pain. From the many liniments I cafry j
in stock, I advised him to use Cham oer
lain's Pain Balm, and the first applica- !
tion drew out the iutlammatioo and
gave immediate relief. 1 have used
this liniment myself and recommend it
very often for cuts, bums, strains and
lame back, and have never known it to
disappoint.'' For sale by Win. Britt
