THE QUESTION OF SENIORITY
Mr. Bryan dwells upon the react
:<? nary influence of seniority in the
l"pit? i] States Senat**, and he dot
so to good purpose Vpon this sub
.'<<? Mr. Bryan sa\s, specifically
' The lVmocrats of th< Senate hav>
a duty to perform in the very open
ing of the extra session. namely, tin
i e* rganixation of that body. The dena
ocrats are still in the minority, but
they will ha\e the selection of the
CemocratR members of the various
committees, and, acting with the pro
gressive republicans. they can not
on'y secure increased representation
on the committees, but they can
n.ake the committees represent the
s? ntimvnt of the Senate "
riainly there is a duty here for
pn gressive republicans a: well as
J- mocrats. and that duty is to de
pose the standpatter, despite alt
Tunis of Senatorial seniority. lu the
!-? rate as in the House, the stand
patter, and the man who owes his
critical existence to the ser\ ice of
privilege, are out of date and out
of step with the procession of events
It would be political folly' and a be
t.nyal of the public interests to lea\ <
such men in the seal of pow.-r and
influence, where they could defeat
the aims and purpose* of the major
ity.
There is illustration ?.f this in th
House by the sele?-tion of Repr*eeli
tMive Avlamson as chairman of thi
Interstate Commerce Committee. If
th propressu ?? forws ;n the Senatt
and Ho 'ise are to pursue this policy,
there will be precious little gained
fjorn the triumph of the popular will
& the polls ? Portland Telegram.
THE NEW GOVERNMENT.
As a result of the election last
Tuesday, the Taxpayers' Party will
guide the affairs of our city for the
next yew and ha?e promised a great
many improvements ;n cur city's ap
pearance. anJ for our city's wilfare.
This paper has always been an
ardent supporter of the Citixen's
I "arty, and his fought for it in the
pas" on even- occasion, but The Al
askan wishes to go on record as say
ing that if the Taxpayers' will carry
oat what the> pledged themselves to
do. by their platform and by speeches
made last Monday night at their ral
ly. by Dr. J. P. Brawand and J. M.
Tanner, it will assist them in every
way possible.
The Taxpayer's in their pre-elec
tion promises stated that they would
sell coal to Skagway for a
ton that th_-y would build a trunk
sewer, do their utmost to protect
the North end of tow n from the
ravages of the Skagway rixer: clear
the streets and keep the sidewalks in
reiair. They will also, in conjunction
w Ih the Home Power Company make
provisions for further fire protection.
What more, for the good of Skag
way, could any body of men do?
BOOKER WASHINGTON'S GOOD
NAME.
The attack made upon Booker T.
Wa-slxington by u hot-beaded and
blundering New Yorker, recently, was
clearly a mistake in every sense. I*
was caused by complete misunder
standing of the situation which led to
the assault, and there is not the
sVgbtest ground foe any censure of
the famous head of the Tuskegee In
stitute or for any suspicion of his
icaduct, in any respect whatever.
1 he most eminent colored u,an in
A aerica is trusted and admired by
all classes and nationalities. He has
compelled the respect ana confidence
