Hoggatt 1? not attempting to represent
the people of Alaska, bu is an appoin
tee of the president as a representative
of the territory ?s an integral part <*f
the federal government. ? Juneau Tran
script
That is wrong In two places: The
fact is missta'ed and the pr mlse i?
damnable, The fact is *hat Got. Hog
gait doe- pretend to r- present the peo
ple of Alaska while misrepresenting
them. In h s famous letter to tbe p ts
tdent (which he would no; have written
h<d he known it was to haro been pub
lished) he deliberately pretended to
represent the people of Alaska while
KNOWING THAT HE WAS MIS
REPRESENTING THEM. Likewise,
io all his interviews he has assumed to
speak for the people, tf be would
qualify bis stateu eots with the explan
ation that he speaks for himself or the
federal government, which the Tran
script says be represents, but not the
people of Alaska, there would be no ob
jection to his pilaver though he spout
ed until he cxhaused bis breath to any
and all who would give ear.
But that is not the worst of the Tran
script's silly defense of an inde'ensible
and boorish official- The contention
that the governor is appointed to rep
resent the federal government in Alas
ka and that it Is his duty to disregard
the sentiment and desires of the people,
recommending only such things as be
thinks will deserve the "fideral Inter
ests" in the district, Is un-American,
unreasonable and without foundation in
law or reason. In the first place there
cao be do ''federal interests" ia Alaska
toconseive which would conflict with
Alaik.in sentiment? unions the privil
ege of government be regarded as a
sort of divioe right of tbe federal au -
thorities. The "federal interests" Id a
political division of the United States
are not jeopaidxsd by local self-gov
ernment. The "federal interests" are
as safe Id Massachusetts or South Caro
lina as tbey are in Alaska, and as com
pletely under federal control.

Recent developments in New York
make it plain that William R Hearst
*u deliberately counted out in the
mayoralty election in New York in 19(5.
Tbat be reoeived a majority of the
votes ihere seems toba tot tbe sllgh est
doubt in tbe mind of an; one wbo
understands ibe situation. Tbe schem
ing of McClji'.an to prevent a reo^unt
indicates tbat be, also, be ieves tbat fcs
occupies an ofticu tbat was stjen from
tbe rightful owner.
Senator P. C Knox, of PennsyWan'a,
bas said tbat be wiii accept th? Repub
lican presidential nomination should it
be given him The State of Pennsylv -
oia will give him her delegation. Tbat
ia more than some of tbe candidates
have in sight up to tbe present lime.
The Juneau Tories have become so
warped by long continued toadying on
bended knee for federal patronage tbat
every vesfge of tbe American prin
ciple* of government bas been lost to
their comprehension.
No Tory sophistry can transform a
president's .-ommlssion to a federal of
Sct-no'der into a license 10 lie about
Alaska and the Alaskan people.

| A Pantomime. 1
[Original.]
I sat by my office window looking
Into the offices directly opposite ou the
other side of the court. They consist
ed of several adjoining rooms. In one
At a magnificent desk sat u gentleman
with a bald head and brown whiskers
constantly tapping a silver bell to call
a boy. Nest was an auterooin, next
rooms full of clerks and bookkeepers.
In the anteroom sat n girl at n type
writer, though she was constantly get
' ig up to go into the baldheaded
man's office to take dictation.
She was n willowy girl, with fair
Unlr and large* dreamy eyes. The door
of the room In which she sat opened,
and a young man came in. He was
fashionably dressed, and 1 noticed
pinned to his vest a college Greek
letter soclcty budge. lie went up to
the girl nud said 8'nuetbiug to her.
She looked up a. him with a hf.lf blush
on her face and a great deal of pleas
ure in her eyes. Then he went on Into
the room where the baldheaded man
sat, and at once I noticed a likeness
between them. They must !*? father
and son. They chatted plensiuitly for
a time, when the young man ruse to
lenve. When bis hand was on the door
knob, the elder man called hfcn back,
wrote out a check an ! handed It to
him. lie put it In his fiocketbock, went
out, said something to the typewriter
girl that caused her to laugh and was
gone. ,
A few days later lie came is again.
This time he talked a good wl)ile with
the typewriter girl. She went >n with
her work, listening to 1dm at lie same
time. The faces of both were very
serious. Presently hi' stole in arm
about her waist, lifted up her face and
kissed her. At that moment I hi- bald
headed man got up from his desk and
went to tli>* door communicating with
the anteroom. They were caught.
The father turned and wen' back
Into his private office. His son follow
ed him and talked rapidly. 1 knew by
the expression of bis face that he was
endeavoring to shield the girl. Wheth
er he was talking about marriage with
her I could not tell. I could uot see
the expressing on the father's face, for
he sat with his back to me. lvesently
the son went out. He found the type
writer girl with her face buried In hei
lianas, lie took tnero away. Uisj.ta viul
two burning cheeks. lie k^ed hor
again. spoke a few words as i:' of e;i
eourugemeut and went away.
Every day the older mail looked
more troubled, and bis soil bad lost
all the vivacity 1 had first noticed.
The uext day the typewriter did not
?ippear at her desk. Another took liei
njaee. I saw the son no moi;e and con
?lnded he had returned to cottrce- In
i few month* there was a sSden re
unction of the office force, and nil the
r >oms except the private office and an
ter.iom were given up. Then the s

boy was his father's only assistai'i

and late. Having to do some extra
work myself at night. I -?w him
through the window working, lie
seemed to be his father's mainstay
The older man looked much broken
and shdly needed a stay.
One morning it was the next spring
and all windows were up iisjain? tlio
sou was silting at the typewri'er doing
some copying. The door opened and a
lady came in. She was handsomely
dressed, and her face had a familiar
look. Sliev advanced to the window
where the young man sat, a.. ;1 I saw
that she was the former typewriter.
Evidently there had been a iwule
versement. The young man had left
the realms oC affluence. She hud en
tered them. She talked with Liui ear
uestly. 1 wished 1 had a telephone
connection with them to bear what
l hey said, but I hadu't and must be
content with pantomime. The girl ap
peared to be trying to persuade him.
He laid his hand ou her arm Mid, look
ing into her face, said some hing im
pressively. She was evidently disap
pointed. She arose and walked impa
tiently to and fro in the little room,
theu sat down by him and renewed the
attack possibly iu a new r'ori i. 1 fan
cied that, the tables being turned, she
was miugling with her persuasion a
trifle of feminine lovemaking. such as
a wealthy woman might make to a
poor man. Presently I saw him throw
his arm about her neck and raiu kisses
on her cheeks and lips.
Meanwhile the old man in the nest
room was fussing with his papers, un
conscious of what was going on so
near him. l'resently the young man
arose, left the girl, entered his father's
room and began to talk to him. The
father's face was turned side wise, so
that I could see bis expression. From
interest It passed to wonder and from
wonder to pleasure, but before either
of the first two expressions died a
smile dawned on the father's lips.
Theu the son went back and brought
in the girl. The old man's looks were
far different from when she and his
son had been caught lu the act of a
kiss. He smiled on her benignly. The
jrlrl took out a pocketbook, dre\v forth
5 bit of paper, which she unfolded and
handed to the father. It was the size
of a check. Mr. Blauk looked at It.
hung his head for a moment, then tot
tered to the girl with outstretched
arms. She threw her own about his
neck. Presently be took one of her
hands from off his shoulder and, grasp
lng the soir's hand, placed (he two to
gether.
I never received any explanation of
this little drama. 1 needed none, espe
cially when I saw all the clerks return
and the business go on as usual.
