AS TO CAN tUA.
A Cans dian reader of the Daily !
Alaskan has accused this paper of be
ing prejudiced against Canada. That
is not true. This paper has criticised
some Canadian laws and condensed the
manner of the enforcemant of others
by some officials, just as it has done
with American laws and American ad
ministrators. It has done that because
its field as a newspaper fs partly Cana
dian, and for that reason Canadian af
fairs, in part, are its affairs, just as are
American matters its concern. The
fact is, because the Daily Alaskcn is an
American i ap?r it has been much more
free in criticising the United States
than It has Canada.
This paper is far from being
prejudiced toward Canada. It regards
Canada as a government and Canadians
as a people so highly that, while Amer
ican to the core, it would hail the
union of that country and the United
States as a consummation greatly to be
desired: one that would maguify the
great virtues of the two countries and
tend to eliminate the weakoe.-ses and
crudities of both. It will be observed
that the term "annexation," so fre
quently used in this connection, is dis
carded. Tl:..t i sC ' Ciiise sac. ?

when Canada would come in;o the
Union with frotr 'o 21 s?-na>o.-s a: u
50 to 60 members of ^ e house, aiui with
70 to SO votes, the balance ef power, in
the electoral college, not to mention
her vast areas of prolific lands, teem
ing with a hardy, industrious, prosper
ous and virtuous people. The Daily
Alaskan would hail this union with
delight for the reason that it believes
it would be a recognition of a union in
sentiment, ideas, aspirntions, interests
and characteristics ?that alreadyjexists
between these two greatest branches
of the English speaki g race. It be
lieves such a union would be so t.atural.
on accou it of the similarity of the peo
ples, their laws, customs, etc , that i*
would bardly be consummated until
the situation would be accepted with
such a matter of-courseness that the
feeling would be general that things
had always been so, bus had just beeD
found out.
So far, only one paper in Alaska h.-.s
endotsed the president's contentions
that the elective franchise should In
conferred upon "Alaskan Indians. That
is the Sitka Alaskan, inspired bv Gov.
Brady. The general sentiment in
Alaska is that it wout 1 be a good Idea
to spend a little usore time teaching
the Indians something of the art of
making a liviug aud accumulating
property under the methods of civili
zation before stuffing his head full of
nonsense about the use of the ballot.
He should be permuted to learn how
to properly care for his family before
he is intrusted with the burden of car
ing for the public affairs of the country.

Every citizen of Skaway should (five
something to the fund to defray the

give $3 or $10 or more. Let everyone
give just what be fee's that he can af-'

The principal thing is to make it a
popular subscrintion, and that means
one in which everybody is represented.

Sojourner Speaks Got d
Words tor Skagway
To the Editor:? Sometimes a delay of
a week waiting for a boat becomes very
irksome, but I must admit that Skag
way has its attractions in many ways,
that help to pass the time away. In
the first place your office clerks are ex
ceptionally congenial to a stranger, and
coming from Dawson a word of cheer
or information about general matters,
giv.en with an air of sociability, is very
cheering. Your Fifth Avenue hotel
has this welcome to the^traveler? heat
ed as it is with moderation, with a pile
of late magazines and periodicals to
peruse and a bang at the piano occasion
ally by the worthy (it beats the phono
graph in my opinion). The restaurant*
come in for credit. As for olimate,
well I enjoy the mild, salty air, with an
occasional breeze from the north.
Your natural scenery of lofty peaks
tapped with snow, is particularly grand.
I{ wish your and jou town town a
merry Christmas, as I leave on the
Jefferson. I Shall look back at Skag
wav as a place where I s>pent a very
pleasant, happy weekj and my wife
joins me in this sentiment.

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
ay. Cutlcura After the
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do a Cent's Worth
of Good
" I was troubled with sore hands, so
?ore that when I would put them in
water the pain would nearly set me
crazy, the skin would peel off and the
flesh would get hard and break. There
would be blood flowing from at least
fifty places on each hand. Words could
never tell the suffering I endured for
three years. I tried everything, but
could get no relief. I tried at least
eight different doctors, but none did
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when I got through doctoring as when
I began. I also tried many remedies,
but none of them ever did me one
cent's worth of good.. I was discour
aged and heart-sore. X would feel so
bad mornings, to think I had to go to
work and stand the pain for ten hours,
I often felt like giving up my position.
Before I started to work I would
have to wrap every finger up sep
arately, so as to try and keep them
soft, and then wear gloves over the
rags to keep the grease from getting
on my work. At night I would have
to wear gloves ; in fact, I had to wear
gloves all the time. But thanks to
Cnticura, that is all over now.
CURED FOR 50c.
"After doctoring for three years,
and spending much money, a 50c.
box of Cuticura Ointment ended all
my sufferings. It's been two years
since I used any, and I don't know
what sore hands are now, and never
lost a day's work while using Cuti
cura Ointment."
