MA KING THE WATER MUDS
The organ of the handful of tories of
Juneau, in spite of the frenzied opposi
tion of whom the delegates from the
recently held Alaskan convention
at Washington are about to get re
sults for their labors, is Irving: to muddy
up the waters for the purpose of mak
ing: obscure the mean and miserable
policy it and its br*nd have pursued in
all things that pertain to Alaska's
good. Its latest disturbances is an a'
tempt to show that Skagway was orcr
represented in the convention at 8c;'
tie. It poiuts out that the proxies of
the Juneau delegates were turned ot:r|
to a Skagway citizen to vote, in accord
ance with the instructions of a mass
meetirg of Juneauites, (the latter pro
vision was not mentioned, of course, by
the Transcript.) It continues:
"Skagway cast four votes by her del
egates present, two votes by Price and
four votes by Burns for Juneau, mak
ing ten votes in all, ? ? ?
"Skagway, with her 1000 people, had
10 votes, and Ketchikan, with her 800
people, had three votes, while the oth
er S.200 people of Southeastern Alaska
b:ul two votes, and the man elected
by such a representation of the people
hau the immaculate gall to go to the
congress of the United States of Ameri
ca and ask to be admitted as a delegate
on the floor of the House ! ! ! "
How silly ! How abjectly, nauseat
ingly silly a tory, pitifully floundering
in words for an excuse for his existence
in an American country, can make
himself !
Analyzed, this hysterscai atterance
means that the convention should
never have been held because
the Juneau delegates elected to
it did not attend in person. In other
words, the momentthe delegrtes
from Nome, and Fairbanks, and
Skagway, and Ketchikan, and Haines,
and Council, and Chena, and Seward,
auc' the dozen other towns, who wentj
there with instructions hot from mass
meetings of the people, discovered that!
no man from Juneau was on the ground
they should have gone home !
Hut that is not all A Juneau proxy,
signed in blank, was sent to W. E.
Crews, who for a number of years .was
a leading: member of the Juneau bar.
It was accompanied by instructions,
Mr. Crews discovered thit he would be
unable to attend the sessions of the con
vention. He gave his proxy, and in
structions from the mass-meeting of
Juneauites, to a Skagway citizen, in
whom he had confidence. The conven
tion, not desiring to deprive Juneau of
a voice in the conventi' n, according to
actstom that is universally followed in !
cou.uy, state and national conventions, I
permitted the representatives who
wer? present to cast the entire vote for
thei delegations. This imposed upon
Mr. i iurnsthe duty to represent Juneau.
He did it in accordance with his in
structions.
Is this a Skagway crime ? Or, is it
Jun au negligence?
If the Juneau paper proves anything
it is that the towns and peoples who
were represented at Seattle did their
part in an effort to free Alaska from
the control of a con,; re? s which the Se
attle Post-Intelligencer aptly says is
contented in its ignorance of this dis
trict. That the declarations of that
convention are as nearly in accordance
with Alaskan aspirations as could be
hoped for under any circumstance is
not denied. That its delegates at the
national capital are standing loyally
upon the platform adopted cannot be
denied. It is apparent, that those
who seek to destroy their influence do
so from mean and selfish motives, and
stamp themselves as enemies of the dis
trict.

SEATTLE BOOSTERS
The people of Alaska are not likely
to lo?e tight of the fact that the REAL
SEATTLE BOOSTER IS THE ALAS
KAN TORY, WHO THROWS HIS
INFLUENCE IN THE SCALES IN
FAVOR OF A PERPETUATION OF
THE BA8TARD SYSTEM OF GOV
ERNMENT WITH WHICH ALASKA
IS BURDENED. Alaska's system of
government permits Seattleites and
the residents of other portions of
the country and those people who spend
only portions of the summer in this dis
trict to dictate legislation and office
holders for it. If the sentiment which
controlled the Alaskan convention at
Seattle were to prevail matters of gov
ernment for Alaska would be removed
from the hands of NON-RESIDENT
PRETENDERS and placed in the
hands of the people who li>e in the dis
trict. That is all those who are sup
porting territorial government ask.
For that the Daily Alaskan has been
contending for many years without
ceasing, and it has no appologies to
make for its course.
On the first day of February the Dally
Alaskan began the ninth year of Its ex
istence, which has been continuous
since February 1, 1893. It is the oldest
daily newspaper in the district. Dur
ing its lifetime four daily newspapers,
the Searchlight, the Budget, the News
aad the Guide, one weekly, the News,
and one monthly magazine, the Mining
Journal, published in this city, hare
lived for a while and then wended their
wea'y way to the graveyard that is so
full of journalistic hopes and ambitions.
The bare statement of these facts
avoids any necessity for boasting.
Late accounts from Washington say
that the opposition of Senator Nelson
to the confirmation of Judge Wicker
sham has been withdrawn and
that there will be only a formal
inquiry into the charges against
the Alakan jurist. He proba
bly will be permitted to answer the
charges and his answer will be accept
ed. Carl M.Joharson, of Fairbanks, is
given credit for bringing about the
change.
The people in Alaska most concerned
about "pie" and the spoils of office are
the Juneau tories and an old man out at
Sitka, the prize tory of them all.
