MORE EVIDENCES OF CHANG
ING SENTIMENT
The liberal ministry which has just
received such an overwhelming en
dorsement by the British people prom
ises self-government to Sou h Africa.
That is refreshing. After a period of
growth for the centralization ideas of
government; of imperialism, in fact, the
Acglo-Sason race is returning to its
senses. The principles enunciated in
the Magna Charta and the Declaration
of Independence are becoming popular
once more.
Not only is this change noticeable in
Great Britain, where the liberal party
has swept the country by a majority
more overwhelming than any party has
received in that country in modern
times, but it is taking place in the
United States. It has been but half a
decade since a vice presidential candi
date was shaking his brawny fists at
American audiences and telling them
in his fiercest tones that William J.
Bryan and all the others who would
give the Filipinos their freedom were
cow ards? were afraid to fight? the very
depth of degradation. The other day
the fortunate man, who is about to be
come the s^n-in-law of this erstwhile
beligerant candidate for the suffrages
of the people, said he is in favor of giv
ing the Filip:nos their independence at
the very earliest possible moment and
that the moment cannot be too soon to
make him glad. In line with this, last
week, republicans came near forcing
through she house of representatives
an amendm?nt to the Philippine tariff
bill embodying the famous Bacon reso
lution?, which declared that it is not
th purpose of the United States to hold
the Philippines as subject colonies of
this country forever against the will of
the Filipinos, and which served so long
AJl a ha*!* nf nnfl r*f fha nentA nnliti^al
issues. A vote was prevented on the
amendment by a point of o*der. It
was held not to be germane.
Verily the war spirit is fleeing.

Ir>ing T. Cole, of Seattle, is a candi
date fur the republican mayoralty
nomination. Mr. Cole is a member of the
city council, having defeated John W.
Godwin, the democratic leader, for that
office. He was a member of the house
of representatives at Olympia dur
ing the strenuous session of 1903 and
was one of the men from King county
who stood loyally upon his platform.
He supported Haro!d Preston for sena
tor, the railroad commission bill and
the law to make gambling a felony.
The account of the Valencia wreck
received by the Amur, while more de
tailed than the Alaskan's accounts, is
of earlier date than that published
in this paper Saturday. The liferaft
was picked up at sea and probably the
boat at Neah Bay were saved after it
was sent.
The Fairbanks Times, which joined
in ti e warcn Judge Wickersham that
was inaugurated by a few people at j
t'airoacks, retired after the second
issue, and said so. It gave as its rea
son for so doing that it would have no
influence upon the question of his con
5rma?ioa.
VlKOVCAPliS
IS STIL1 BUSY
The Yukon capias is still in working
order. Dr. F. E Rymer, who, with his
wife and the latter's sister, arrived
from Dawson last week, was served
with ? capias warrant whsn he arrived
at Whitehorse and returned to Daw
son. Hesiysheowes nothing on the
account for which he was arrested, and
that he is not leaving the country for
good, anyhow. However, there was
nothing for him to do but to pay the
demand, go to jail or return to Diw^on
at hundrens of dollars expense and
fight. He took the latter course. .
