NO FIGHT ON CAPITAL.
Gov. Hoggatt told the Cordova
North Star that the pr?t?s ought not
to antagonize the large aggregation*
of capital coming into Alaska. This
adiuouitiou Implies that the Alaska
prrss has been doing that same.
The governor may possess some in
furuiatiou denied :o ordinary mortals
but the Prospecto* has never roticed
in any Alaska newspaper any objec
tion to the arrivai ot rich persons or
corporations. On the contrary the
mere suggestion that a load oi uiazu
ma is bearing down upon the terri
tory usually briugs out a section of
wood type for the front page.
What the governor really means,
dearly beloved, is that the majority
o' Alaska residents have offered moro
or less effectual objection to tlie po- 1
1:. ileal domination of Alaska by that
aggregation of capital which is the
object of Gov. Hoggatt's particular
solicitude and adoration ? to-wit, the
syndicate known popularly as the
Guggenheim*.
Everybody in Alaska is glad to see
the rich leave some of their change In
the territory. The Guggenheinis have
?l>eut a lot of money iu Alaska, which
has been a great benefit to the coun
try. and they promise to spetid more,
which will be a greater benefit. They
are entitled to make big money out
of their investments. There is no ob
jection to the big financial tent. Crit
it ism has been directed against the
political side show, which has sought
to dictate all federal appointments
and to control the courts.
Gov. lloggatfs theory of ideal gov
ernment in a distant province is the
Past ludia Company in the days of
Clive and Hastings. Iu the governor's
cLair he has never been anything but
a Guggenheim agent. ? V'aldez Pros
pector.
HERE IS A CHEERY SOUL.
It has been raining here in Alaska
more or less for several weeks. Tour
ists have noticed it auil their com
ments have not always been flatter
ing. Some of our own people have
awakened to the sincere belief that
Jupiter Hluvius is giving us scripture
measure with the contents running
over. To some people the prolonged
rains have a depressing effect. That
indicates a faulty mental susceptibil
ity rather thau any real harm that
these gentle rains can do. When the
gray clouds obscure the sky's opaline
tiuted blue, care you not. You do
not live iu the skies. The sunshine
that paints the rose in your cheek and
&etus the eye with diamonds, comes
from within. Raindrops are as healthy
and benifionet as sunbeams. The fol
iage grows a deeper green and almost
bursts with the fullness of life because
ol its lingering caress. When it rains
Ko out into it and 'earn to love it.
When you were young; before artific
iality stole away your pure dreams,
before pride, and maybe sin. trans
formed your soul, the happiest hours
were spent when it rained hardest
and you paddled in the pools. It did
not hurt you then, nor will it now.
(Jo out and see how gentle it is. The
rain is a bugaboo only to those who
stay inside and fear it. ? Ketchikan
Miner.
BAT NELSON.
Bat Nelsou is a man cf letters, and
hf has few if any betters: hi* broks
are helpful, strong and soulful, a con
lort to the sad and doleful: they cheer
the orphan, soothe the widow, and saj]
to grief and sorrow "Skidoo!" And
yet this great and shining writer is
forced to figure as a fighter, and bear
the stigma of a bruisr, or he would b4
financial loser! Brain power so Httle
L. rewarded, so lightly genius is re
garded, that men must drop the brush
or stylus to mix in riots that defile u
Oh, shameful thing that bards and
sages must strip and scrap for paltry
wages! It sends a pain athwart our
bowels, to think that Henry James or
Howells or Robert lirant or Kdward
Russell, may yet be forced to go and
hustle, for twenty rounds ? or maybe
thirty ? to gather in some dollars dirt
? \.alt Mason.
FAVORS RECIPROCITY.
"I believe the time has arrived
when reciprocity with Canada should
be a feature of our national policy.
Here is an imaginary boundary line
dividing a people with the same blood
and political aims. The Canadians
have much that we want and we
have much that they need. We can
further the interests of ourselves by
making such an arrangement. Mind,
I would not favor such an agreement
with Mexico. In Canada the same peo
ple work at the same industries at
the same wages as ourselves. Every
time we assist in developing Canada
we increase our trade and we get a
benefit almost as great as that coun
try." ? Gov. John A. Johnson of .Min
nesota.
Cifford Pinchot spoke the truth
when he said that unless the Ameri
can people wake up that the natural
tesources of the country will be gob
bled up by a few capitalists. And in
cidentally Richard Ballinger. Secretin
of the Interior, was handed a well mer
ited rebuke. Ballinger seems to be
a re-actionist. He is certainly revers
ing the policy followed by Roosevelt
of conserving the country's resource*.
The business men of Skagwav
should come out of their trance and
attend meetings of the Commercial
Club. It doesn't cost anything.
Behold, they are all vanity; their j
works are nothing: their molten im-j
ages are wind and confusion. ? Isaiah,
Chapter 41? -!?.
The Bagles are going to entertain
HerLng ? and this is no nature faker's
yarn either.
The weather is bad enough here,
but still no one is dying of the heat.

The Honeymoon.
The honeymoon has no definite du
ration, but Is longer or shorter accord
lng as the temper of the high contract
ing parties determines, or their rela
tives, or the weather, or the mode' or
the comparative cost of traveling and
staying at home. Briefly, It Is that
Interval during which the man, going
out In the morniug. remembers his kiss
and forgets his overshoes as distin
guished from the interval during which
he remembers his overshoes and for
gets his kiss.? New York Life.
Pluck.
"Pluck," said the financier, "Is the
secret of success."
"Well," Interrupted the shabby man,
"I'll give you ?10 If you'll teach me
your method of plucking."? London
Telegraph.
Slow to Laugh.
The Briton? As the old proverb says,
y' know. "lie lawfs best who lawfs
iahst." The Yankee? If that's so,
what good laughers you English must
be!? Cleveland Leader.
There Is more Catarrh In this sec
tlon of the cquntry than all other I!.'
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be iu
curable. For a great many years 'lot;
tors pronounced It a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by rou
stantly failing to cure with local tr?at- 1
ment, pronounced it Incurable. Selene !
has proven catarrh to be a const it.u
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally In doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It1
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.
