J <-r Wh.il Purpose? Who Pays The
Bills
In another column of today's ls
s.?e will bo found a Uttlo Informa
t.on which should cause the voters
or Alaska to sit up aud take notice.
Tho voters of Alaska went to the
polls last November and elected the
ra .> tabors of a Territorial Legisla
ture for the purpose of assembling
in Juneau, as provided for in the en
abling act, and there formulating
si i h laws as would advance the in
tvrosts of tho ontlro Territory. It
was not the intention to elect lob
li'.'sts to go to Washington and
there work for the special "inter
ests", after they had finished their
1-ibors in the balls of the Terrltor
Senator Bruner, when he engross
er his resolutions. left out the pro
\ ion that tho appointment of the
commluee, w hich should go to Wash
ington to work for the passage of
legislation, be left to the President
of the Senate. Such a provision
would .no spoiled the offect of the
committee. Why? ? Because the
President of the Senate could not
v?-ry well ,-ppolnt himself as one of
the committee, and he was needed on
i hat committee.
i-et us analyze tho personnel of
t :s committee, and wo find that
tu:ee lav. vers were named, L.V. Hay
of Seward, K. Bruner, of Nome; and
H<nry .CoUen, of Idltarod, and H.
T. Xripo. me fourth member, belny
a merchirt and miner of Juneau.
What u the significance of theee
l u'e-o lawyers being named to go to
Washington and there lobby for the
i.v .. io of legislation (or Alaska?
?ike note of the fact that the rvd
clutlou referred to the House of
Ropru ?. ntatlves for concurrence pro
vided that "assistance be given to
lK'!?gut Wlckeraham". The reso
luiiou auopted in the Senate has no
protUiou that bluds tho committee
to work for the passage of such leg
islation as the acredlted delegate
'rom Al.t^r.a ma/ be working for.
: he two paramount moasures b?
v -a today, affecting Alaska
e tiie Chauiberlaln-Wickershaxn
xta.i:.o.id bill and the Jones' Flsh
Ue government is asked to build
? r bu; a railroad (or Alaska. The
Struggle (or the favor of Congress,
l ? - en the railroad interests of the
Territory, is to tike place in Wash
ington. Are wo again to bo i>ub
j. -led to the spectacle of "special
luterest" lobblests opposing the ef
forts of our delegate, as in the
?.i> .i of raft, and the opposition
acting uuder authority o( tho Ter
ritorial Senate?
Senator Kay is (rom Seward, a
railroad leruilnai. Henry Roden is
ittoruey (or tho Guggcnhelms, own
ers of tho Cordova railroad. Sen
ator iJruuer steadfastly opposed all
fisheries legislation, even going so
far as to tight the memorial to con
gress asking ;or the regulation of
the (Ish-traps in Alaskan waters,
aud in addition to this ho is known
to bo a bitter enemy o( James
Wickershom, ? and so are the Fish
eries interests ? and so are the Gug
enncims ? and so are the Soward
railroad interests, as evidenced by
the vote in Seward at the last dele
This then, Is a pretty termina
tion o( th First Territorial Legisla
ture; (our Senators openly use their
positions to which the voters o( the
four divisions elected them, to ap
point thmselves special envoys ex
traordinary to Washington. For
what purpose? Who pays the bills?
Wo heartily congratulate tho
Houe o( Representatives upon its
refusal to be a party to such a pre
rostorous proposition, and upon
their refusal to stoop to such gross
misappropriation of con(ldenc? re
posed In them by the people of Al
aska.
A Prerogative of tho Pulpit
Dr Bacon, u New England clergy
man of Ioiik ii ro. was reproached by n
friend with some pronunciation which
was not "according to Webster."
Webster lived In his parish, and the
doughty old divine was not disposed to
be snubbed with the dictionary. "What
right has Webster to dictate my pro
nunciation?" he demanded haughtily
"He Is oue of my parishioners and
ought to get his pronunciation from me
and not t from him."

"Yes." said the dealer; "1 have cows
to sell What kind of a cow do yon
want?"
"Oh. I don't know." said tbo ama

a couple of horns will do."? Harper's
