GOVERNOR-LOBBYIST
Under the caption "Governor- Lob
byist," the Tacana Miner has this:
"In the press dispatches received to
day, we are informed that Governor
Ho^catt is n Washington, actively
lobbying for the special interests he
represents in Alaska against the
Cale b>ll providing for a territorial
form of government by a legislative
assembly.
"The governor Is paid by the United
States government for administering
tbe affairs of Alaska at its capital,
Juneau, and is at this minute drawing
down salary for tbe performance of
su -h duties. Instead of being in Ju
neau. where he belongs, the affairs of
the territory are being administered by
the sceretary of the territory, and the
governor is busy misrepresenting
the people of the territory at tbe
national capital, and drawing down an
official salary for eo doing.
?'And then Wilford wonders why he
is unpopular in the territory and why
bis administration of the people's
affairs does not meet with the approval
of * vast majority of its residents. Per
haps his pernicious activity at Wash
ington at this time has something to
do with It." ^
SECRETARY WILSON
[fever a man wis built to fit the job
be hold* that man is James Wilton, sec- ;
retary of agriculture. It is asserted
that be i? about to resign. The same
thing hss been said many times before
and denied by Wilson. We may be
wise to wait a while and see if this is
doc also denied? a' though untrue tales
have before now ?one forth and re
mained undenied despfte their untruth.
This much is true that Mr. Wilson has
heretofore been as well pleised with his
job as his job is pleased with him. So
long as these conditioas exist it is not
likely there will be a seperation. At
any rate tne country has hail the benefit
of veil directed services that amount
almost to genius, for eleven year*, such
as will set a high pace for succeeding
secretaries of agriculture.

IN i TIDEWAY
Id tbe clutch of a tide that my course
compels,
A merciless tide that ebs and swells
To suns and moons I do not control?
And because I cannot would wreck my
soul.
The storm-tossed joy of a turbulent
tide?
And only one star throuxh the night to
guide?
In a cockleshell on it* crest afloat,
Still I trim the sails of mv tiny boat,
And strive to steer by that star re
mote?
For tbe tide that threatens and thwart ,
I know,
Is itself controlled in its ebb and How;
And what am I, a speck on the main,
Of the stars that sway the sea to com*
plain?
If it be in the plan that I siuk st sea,
Let me sink as I sail, with pennon
free;
It land 1 make as a sailor should,
It is not I am great, but that One is
good;
But happen what may, let the log book
tell
That I did my best with my cockleshell.
