CALE ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION
I
Delegate Cale has accepted the nom
ination of the republican convention
at Ketchikan. He will be the nom
inee, no doubt, of the non-partisan
convention of the interior that first
named him for congress.
Mr. Cale has stood fixedly on the
principle that, so far as Alaskan inter
ests are concerned, there should be no
party politics in the district. And
there is much reason acd good sense
in hi* contention. Alaska wantscertain
things at the hands of Washington.
That which stayed the hand of Wash
ington in giving her what she wants
is the confusion which Alaska herself
has created in Washington's mind as
to just what it is she wants. As a body
Alaska knews exactly what she wants
but the little stream made up of indi
viduals with conflicting interests, that
trickles down from this far-away
wilderness to Washington every winter,
each individual representing himself
as the spokesman for Alaska, leaves the
congress utterly at sea as to the real
sentiment of the people of the district,
and permits the federal appointees to
work their ends, and to laugh in their
sleeves as they charge us with being
"not ripe."
If there is a man who has ability and
upon whom all the peop'e can concen
trate, who may be delegated to speak
for the length and breadth of the dis
trict, it is the part of wisdom to select
him and to cut out the element of strife
and division as completely as may be.
Such a man is 1 homas Cale. Now Mr.
Cale, consistent with his belief, has de
clared from first to la't, as stated, that
he would not be a candidate before any
partisan convention, ano has refused to
bu'lge from thit position despite the fact
that he was assured he could haye
the nomination for the asking. A man's
principles must be pretty well grounded
when be can, for their sake alone, turn
from the proffer of honors and at the
possible sacrifice of votes should he get
into the fray at last. Mr, Cale took this
position and there be stood. The re?
publican convention nominated him in
spite of his refusal to come before it as
a candidate. It was a recognition of
desert. Mr. Cale is free und.r these
circumstances to accept the nomination
and has done so. lie is equally free to
accept the nomination of any other con
vention of Alaskans who wish to vote
for him. That he will receive such
tenders there is no doubt.
The line cf battle Is thus drawn be
tween the candidate who represents the
wishes of the people ard the candidate

CHRISTMAS EVE
Alone? with one fair stsr for company,
The loveliest star among the hosts of
night,
While the gray tide ebbs with ebbing
light- .
I pace along the darkening wintry sea,
Now round the yule Ion and the glitter
ing tree
Twinkling with festive tapers, eyes as
bright
Sparkle with Christmas joys and young
delight.
As each one gathers to his family,
But I? a waif on earth where'er I
roam ?
Unrooted with life's bleeding hopes
and fears
For that one heart that was my heart's
sole home.
Feel the old pang picrce through the
severing years,
And as I thins upon the yeats to come
That fair star trembles through ray
falling te irs.

ASCENSION ISLAND.
Ono Place In This Busy World Where
Money Is Useless.
Now and thou one lio:irs of out of
the way plates where the conventions
of life, as they are understood, do not
exl.;t. One of these is where money is
useless. Tills Is Ascension Island. In
the Atlantic.
This Island Is the property of the
British admiralty and Is governed by
a captain of the royal navy. .There Is
no private property In land, so there
are uo rents, taxes, etc. The tloeks
and herds are public property, aud
the raeat killed Is Issued In rations
So are the vegetables grown on the
farms.
When a fisherman makes a catch he
brings It to the guard room, where it
Is Issued by the sergeant major. The
only private pnijiorty are fowls und
pigeons. Even the wild donkeys are
under government control. They nre
listed on the l>ooks of the paymaster
and nre handed over at stock taking.
The imputation consists of a few
bluejackets, n company of marines and
some Kroos from Sierra Leone.
Ther? a marine can do anythltiK
The muleteer is a marine; so are the
gardeners, the shepherds, the sto-'k
men. the grooms, the masons, the car
penters nn.l the plumbers. Even the
Island trapper, who nets rewards for
the tails of rats, is a marine.? Ex

DEAN SWIFT'S CHANCE.
Hit Marriage of a Country Couple |
Caught In a Storm.
It Is related of the whimsical Dean
Swift that 011 uue occasion when
caught in a shower of rain he took
shelter under a wide spreading tree,
where he found a party of young peo
pie waiting for the storm to cease.
One. a girl, was weeping, and the
dean learned that she was on her way
to church t to marry a young fellow
who was with her.
The party were walking, as w.is
then the custom in country districts,
but owing to the storm it seemed very
much as if the ceremony would not
take place that day.
"Never mind," said the dean; "I'll |
marry you."
He took up his prayer book and
there and then performed the cere
mony. At the finish he tore a leaf out
of his pocketbook and with a pencil
wrote and signed a certificate, which
he handed to the bride. Besides the
names nnd the date, there was the fol
lowing:
Under a troo In stormy weather
I married this man and woman together, j
Lfct nono but him who rules the thunder
Sever this man and woman asunder.
