SK AG WAY'S INTEREST
The people of Skagway have little
interest io the coming election for a
delegate in congress beyond the elec
tion of a man who will stand for se'.f
goverument, who will truly represent
the p ople who live here and who will
endeavor to secure a plan of govern
ment that will mean government from
within instead of from without. Skag
wayans, like all true Alaskans from all
sections of the district, are tired of hav
ng things.'managed by others than bona
tide residents. They ask that things
be changed so that the mining laws,
the revenue and taxation laws and all
the other laws of the district may be
made by miners, prospectors, business
men. laboring men and others who
are devoting their time, brain and ener
gv to the development of Alaska, and
who actually live in the district. The
nac -- of the delegate, his politics and
his i>lace of residence are unimportant,
but the question of home rule lies at
the very root of American government.
In short, principles not men concern
Skagway citizens, and they only ask
that the delegate from Alaska be a man
who will be true to American prin
ciples and faithful to his trust.

The resignation of Assistant Secre
tary Taylor, of the treasury depart
ment, who has been at the head of the
revenue marice servic.* for many years,
i-aiue just after he hade made the state
men' in an interview tnat life-saving is
uot a part of the duty of revenue cut
ters, which interview was followed at
once \v a telfgrapic order from Wash
ington directing that the cutters should
be held iu readiness f?r such service
How ever, the connection between the
resignation aad the interview may not
l>e more than one of proxeralty.
The Brooklyn Eagle says vessels
should be equipped with apparatus
with which to shoot lines ashore in case
i llstress, because wrecks are nearly
.i vays on a lee shore arid it is easier to
-hoot a line with the wind than against
i:. The suggestion is well. It might
b added, also, that someone should be
ou the shire to get the line and make
it fan.
Sna'or Foraker is not beating about
th" !> -li in his position on the railroad
rate proposition. When t sked the di
rect question by Senator Tiilmsn
whether or not he proposed to vote for
the Hepburn bill that recently passed
the house of representatives, Senator
Foraker answer d in an unequivocal
sentence of three words. He said: "I
am tot."
Juaeau papers say that Gov. Bradv's
resignation was purely voluntary and
that he would have retired from office
long ago had it not been that the presi
dent would not accept his resignation
while he was under lire. The French
wan would say, 'It is to laugh.''
It would have been impossible for
Marshal Shoup to hav9 made a better
select on for a deputy in Skagway than
he did, or one that would give the peo
ple of Skagway better satisfaction. H.
R. Simpson is deservedly one of the
most |>opular men in this section.

is comfortable. Most of her cargo will
be lost.
