HIST! WE HUE DISCOVERED
Juneau's boy sleuth has been at work
again ? and we ate discovered. Yester
day remark was made of the withering
anxiety cxsorlenced by the Record as
to tho sum received by the Alaskan for
a little bit of that Corson advertising
which was spread over the entire dis
trict as an Incident of a whirlwind cam
paign which found it so hard to whirl.
The editorial quoted yesterday was
headed "Confesses it." The very next
day the Record began Jits dally lamen
tation on the subject under the heading
"Why Deny It?" Well, of course, after
a thing is once confessed there is little
use la denying it, but, proceeding, the
boy sleuth takes all the credit of dii
covery notwithstanding. With the
startling emphasis exactly as here rep
resented. following, the Record launch
es an arraignment of this paper. It
cries out:
"Why does the Alaskan adopt the
tactics it does'/ This page KNOWS
AND KNOWS HOW MUCH THE
SKAGWAY ALASKAN GOT FOR
BOOSTING JOHN W. CORSON AND
THE ALASKAN KNOWS THAT THE
PRICE IT GOT FOR THE BOOST
WAS MUCH GREATER THAN IT
RECEIVES FOR ALL ITS REGULAR
advertising for a month.
Now, the Alaskan cannot deny this.
How, then, If that paper did not sell out
its principles, can it account for receiv
ing the sum it did for what it terms an
"ajvt," which appeared only three
times?"
"Only thiee times" and yet such a
vast sum paid for it. This is flattery
Indeed.
Well, well, since we are discovered,
why, as the Record says, try conceal
ment longer? " 'Tis useless" as the
"Young Sleuth'' would say. Therefore,
forced to it by the tireless efforts of the
boy detective? here's for a clean breast
of it. We DID raiher soak it to Mr.
Corson's manager, so anxious was he to
get into our advertising columns. You
see the business end of this paper Is
conducted with much the same intelli
gence as distinguishes the editorial end.
But that this advertisement, clearly
labeled as such, should be deemed by
the Record such a BOOST for Corson
is certainly an unexpected tribute to
the Aiaskan as an advertising medium.
The Record attributes those 27 votes
for Corson, (as against 1?M for Wicker
ersham to the advertisement. Well,
well, perhaps so.
But if so what becomes of tho "influ
ence" of Mr. Corson's local managers
and the free hand with which money
was spent outside the Alaskan's adver
tising columns? Surely the Alaskan is
not to be credited with influencing the
entire vote both ways ? for and against
Wickersham. Alas, here we enter the
bewilderiog labyrinth of mystery again
where alone the young sleuth is at home.
BURYING THE HATCHET

General Luke E. Wright as secretary

?ad the whole country as tho boldtst
buccaneer of his century, but who Is
now spoken of as the bravest and most
gallant of the Confederacy's seamen
and bit grave General Wright Is said
frequently to visit.
Vet forty-three years after the war
olosed, General Wright finds himself
?t the head of the United States w?r

It, "governing soldiers, directing gen

Jefferson Da7ls resigned to go to the

A few years ago President Cleveland
was furiously attacked because ho
wanted to restoro tho captured ilags
held at Washington to the former Con
federates. Senator Foraker waxed
?specially bitter over the alleged insult
it was to the loyal patriots of tho nortb,
and was elected governor of Ohio for
his zeal. There is, however, no kick
*t all coming from anybody now, It
seems, because General Wright has
been "placed in charge of his country's
mo?t treasured secrets aud made 'he
chief of-a multitude of employes, some
with shattered limbs and memories of
hard-fought battles." No, instead of
scorning him, even theso voteraus have
weloomed him with loyal friendship,
and our cousins of the north are patting
themselves upon the back bravely be
cause this is so, and consider that the
world ought to know about it and laud it
as an almost unprecedented example
of broad-mindedness, if not magnan
imity.
tar be it from us to say anything
that would tarnish tho brightness of
this seif-satisfaction, but when we re
member the Boer war, and seo the
former "rebels" sitting in the neats of
the mighty in the Tranvaal and Orange
River colonies, we cannot help Indulg
ing in the reflection that in the British
empire it sometimes takes still less
time for one-time enemies to become
gooil, fast friends.

KEEP THEJ1DNEYS WELL
Hcilth <a Worth Savlne and Some j
Alrnk* People Know How to Say* It.
Many Alaska people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid- !
nevs when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble for a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and puines due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Dean's
Kidney Pills.
P. Latntneh. 121 North Terry Ave.
Seattle, Wash., says: '"It is how three I
years since i k?vc a testimonial recom
mending Doan's Kiduev Pills after the
prompt aud satisfactory manner in
which this remedy had relieved me of
kidney trouble which had affected me
off ami on for a nomb;r of years. Just
prior tn usiog Doan's Kidney Pil's, my
suffering had become more severe, ami
one day I w?s taken suddenly with at
tacks of sharp pains through my loins
and bladder. 1 sent for a doctor who
finally used a catheter. This gave me
?.'runt relief at the time but still I had
trouble afterwards with Irritation of
the bladder and with the disordered
action of my kidneys. 1 beyau using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted
very promptly and directly on the parts
affected, so that the bladder trouble dis
appeared and In other way I found great
realief. This was several years ajro but
still I am a hearty advocate of Doan's
Kidtie.v Pills and recommend them to
all sufferers from Kidney trouble."
