A SCOTCH VERDICT.
The coaimittew which has been tak
ing wide net in the case where James
Wickersham charges that fraudulent
coal contracts were made that the
dealers might have exorbitant profits
on the coal delivered to certain army
posts in Alaska has finished its la
bors.
It appears from the action lake
that the committee is uot anxious at
all to go any farther, but wants to
shoulder the responsibility of con
viction or acquittal onto congress it
self.
The com mitt e rendered in fact a
Scotch verdict. Ju*t what reason is
back of it can only be conlectureu
To the guiity, a Scotch verdict ana-i
wers the purpose quite as well as an
acquittal. And it is a pretty safe con
clusion that the coal dcaiers and go
betweens are very weil satisfied with
the committee's decision.
The democrats do uot want to be
deprived of all the campaign thunder
that this situation leases open for
next year, and the republicans, it is
safe to wager, are not anxious to
prove any more guilt than has airea.j]
been shown ? and there you are.

A CORRECTION
In a local writeup of Tuesday's is
sue the Alaskan stated that the ex
cursion train on its way back from tire
summit did not stop at the Fifth Ave
nue station. This was an error which
the Alaskan takes great pleasure in
correcting. The train did stop, but
no excursionists got off- In making
this correction, the Alaskan would al
so state from authority of Superin
tendent Hahn that positive orders
have been given for &li excursion
trains to stop at that point, both go
ing out of and coming into town.
To one who has watched the trend
of events under similar circumstances
it seems likely that congress is get
ting ready to spread a very thick
coat oi nice clean whitewash ovor the
pasvs reflecting on the honesty of
certain government coal contracts
for certain army poets.
Whether the Guggenheims want the
Controller Bay property or not, it has
uot yet fceen explained to a curious
public why tbe lands given to Dick
Ryan were disposed of in th? ' clan
destine manner in which it has been :
siiown to have been done.
