FOWLER AND CANNON.
The announcement of Representa
tive Charles N\ Fowler, chairman of
the committee on banking and cur
rency, that he will be a candidate for
speaker ot the national house of rep
resentatives, may mean that there
will be a revolt against Speaker Can
non; or It may mean that Mr. Can
ituu, on account of age, will not
again seek the speakership.
There is a suggestion of revolt lu
the change which Mr. Fowler pro
poses to make in the house rules, a
change which would deprive the
speaker of much of the power now
exercised by him, and against which
there has been widespread protest,
though the protest has come largely
from democratic sources.
Mr. Fowler proposes that the house
"elect a board of managers, consist
ing of seven members, which shall
be charged with that direction of
legislation which is now assumed by
the speaker." Under the present rule
the speaker selects "floor managers"
to perform the duties which the
board of managers would perform un
der Mr. Fowler's proposed change;
hence, the only difference between
the present rule and the rule pro
posed is in the manner of selecting
the "managers." the speaker appoint
ing in one case, an<> the house select
ing in the other case.
Whether Mr. Fowler's plan will
meet with favor is an open question.
It is not a bad suggestion, though
Speaker Cannon might regard it as
giving too much color to the charge
of his enemies that he had abused
his power as speaker. But the re
publican members should not be
swayed by any one man's Interests
or opinions in a matter of this char
acter. They should do what it best
for the house, best for the country,
for in doing that they will be doing
also what is best for the republican
party.? Post-Intelligencer.

The sudden change in the relation
ship of the emperor of Germany and
In- people is one of the moat start
ling things of recent history. And
all resulting from an indiscreet utter
anco. A year ago for a German to
whisper the name o t William lightly
was to take the risk of severe pun
ishment. Because of an utterance
on the part of that same autocrat
that brought humiliation upon those
same humble people the situation is
reversed and the kaiser is breaking
down under the weight of the openly
expressed derision of the plain peo
ple. The emperor who so lately
made the declaration that he "would
do as he pleases" has made the
greatest discovery of his life.
When John D. Rockefeller says It
Is better to give than to receive he
probably means it. John is getting
to be au old man now and, looking
upon life through the length of his
years, is enabled to make a closer
estimate upon the real value of the
dollar.? since he has in his posses
sion nearly all there are ? than he
had when he began saving up, and he
finds that he has missed nearly
everything that, he can now see, Is
worth while. Please don't laugh at
John ? if he is really getting sense
and human sympathy ? or feels the
need of it? let's take him In out of
the cold
It is rather amusing to not*? how
the newspapers all over the country
are Jumping on Governor Hoggatt for
using the word "avocation" In his
Thanksgiving proclamation where he
meant "vocation." Of course It was
a mere slip of the pen? one that
ought to have been caught by the
proof reader. It is silly to assume
that the governor does not know bet
?111 m ? - ' 11
ter, and even if he dtd'nt It Is a J
fault that might well be passed up
If he would only behave In more lm
portant matters.
The faot that the body o f Mrs.
Gunness was not found, that the fact
that she was really dearf was estab
lished only by circumstantial evi
dence, probably saved the neck of the
man Lamphere whom the Jury was
convinc?d burned the house and her
body and those of her children.
Twenty years of quiet he will have
to think It over.
If there are gold nuggets lying
round on the beach for geese to eat
Is it not pretty good demonstration
of the truth that lies under the faith
of those mining optimists that have
always declared we would yet have
a mine in Skagway?
When Uncle Joe says he believes
the tariff will be revised this next
session it sounds like a confession
that he has grown Impotent.
Emperor William needs an editor.

YALDEZ CREEK
Since Valdez creek has become
somewhat well known through the
reports of rich gold diggings In that
section of the territory, many are
planning to go In there this winter
;ind are asking for the best route,
in one respect the creek is unfortun
ately named. The name that the
creek bears has led to published
statements that a rich gold strike
has been made near Valdez on Val
dez creek. This creek is hundreds
of miles from Valdez and is not more
.?asily reached from that town than
from some other places.
Some have gone in from Valdez
because no supplies were to be ob
tained last winter near the location
of the creek. The situation will be
changed this winter. The A. C. com
pany plans to place a base of sup
plies within about seventy-five miles
of this rich gold field and are said
to be taking orders for supplies at
the present time. Outfits can also
be secured at Knik and the Station.
Parties can also ship their supplies
in by way of Cook inlet In the sum
mer, and from there they can be
taken up the river in boats and
cached for winter use.
In the winter time the most prac
ticable route to Valdez creek Is by
way of Seward. Parties landing i\t
Seward can go over the trail to Knik
and Susitna Station, there get their
outfits and go up the rivers on the
ice. It Is possible to reach Valdez
creek in this way In about half the
time it would require If the start was
made from Valdez, because the trail
is not more than half as long and
supplies do not have to be packed
for such a long distance. ? Seward
