Official City Paper
L.. S. KELLEK, PUBLISHER
SCB9CBlPflON. BATES ?
Far be it from this page to attempt to
preach politics to the able and learned
editor o f the Miner, Governor Swlne
ford. Howevor, for the life of this
newspaper it cannot, see how Editor
Swineford arrives at the conclusions he
reaches in the editorial, a portion of
which is given below:
"It, therefore, appears to the Miner
that a declaration of the convention in
favor of a change from our present bas
tard and wholly un-American form of
govarnmenl to that of a territorial or
ganization is a foregone conclusion. So
mote U be.
"The Miner, however, thinks it sees
danger of the disruption of the conven
vention, through the ill-advised per
sonal strife which threatens to inject
itself at the imminent hazard of the
harmony which the advocates of home
government should be first and fore
most in endeavoring to promote. If
these latter are wise they will studious
ly refrain from injecting into the con
vention any and all matters of a person
al character, or which can be construed
as such. The proposed demand for the
removal of Governor Hoggatt will
not only be in bad taste, but will avail
nothing other than to work an injury to
the cause the friends for home rule for
Alaska profess to have most at heart.
They will be but tyro* in party politics
why essay anything of the kind in that
convention." ,
ft was Republicans who got for Gov
ernor Hoggatt the position he ia abus
ing. The men who will assemble in
the convention at Juneau on the 14 h of
this month, with the exception of the
Democrats who were elected by the
Perseverance Mice fcnd the Treadwell
company as Hoggatt delegates from
Juneau, will be Republican*. Why then
should they not attempt to remedy the
evil their party has unwittingly been
instigators of ? Naturally, any man or
9et of men would be adverse to causing
the destruction of another n ao's life
work and aspirations:? i U human na
ture to rebel against such actions- But
that is neither here nor then. A terri
torial blight was thrown over Ala?ka
when the Republicans endorsed and se -
cured the Governorship for Hoggatt.
Who then, pray, la more in honor
bound to try to remove it than the Re
publicans when they assemble in tnelr
next convention?

IT'S THEIR DUTY
GOT WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM
Public confidence is, to a bank, what
ber good reputation is to a woman, and
it needs just the same care for Its con
tinuity. They are both actively sensi
tive to the bruiting tongue of rumor
and they hare both to be" careful about
the company they keep. The science
of banking admits in its premise that it
is based altogether upon public credit,
and 'men who make a profession of
banking are either taught, or learn,
that public confidence is a finer asset
than all the bullion they siore in their
vaults, and, the successful banker is a
man of instinct and conservatism, who
looks with aversion upon the incursion
into his business of piratical men who
regard banking as merely a means to
an end, and that end the successful
manipulation of Investment s-.ocks for
speculative purposes. When Helnze
broke into the banking busiuess in the
East, fresh from his Montana pecula
tion, reputable bankers turned against
him and drove him out, because bis
presence was a constant menace to the
substantial banking interests of New
York.
It is withal much better that a crisis
shonld have come and that a few rich
grafters like Heinz; should have been
relieved of their bank roles than that
the public should have been made vic
tims to the proti ; of the exchange op
erators. Mr. Heinze has gotten a hard
fall, it is tme, but he was handed no
mora than was coming to b4ia.

THE ANGEL OF DEATH
Israel Ludlow, the aeronaut whose
experiments with flying machines have
so greatly impaired his health, still
perseveres in his aeronautical research*
es, and one day he s&ld:
"I bear my accident patiently. It
happened, no doubt, because it w? s to
happen. 1 still keep on with flying. I
am something of a fatalist, I suppose."
He mused a moment.
"You knew how profoundly they be
lieve in fate in the East?" he said.
"There is a story that they tell about it
there.
"A certain sultan was giving audi
ence ono morning when the grand vi
zier came and prostrated himself ai the
fool of the dais.
" 'Rise, vizier,' said the sultan, gra
ciously, 'and tell me why are you so
pale and way do you tremble so ?'
" 'Alas, lord,' the vizier answered,
'in that shadowy corner by the ivory
soreen the Angel of Death is standing.
For a long time he has stood there, and
continually he fixes on me an earnest
and strange look.'
"The vizier wrung his hand*.
" 'Lord, I would not die,' he said.
'Lord, grunt thy slave permission to set
out forthwith for Smyrna. Thus, It
may be, I will escape the dreadful vis
itant.'
"The sultan, with a noj, granted the
vizier that wish, and the poor man has
tened forth with all speed to make
ready for the journey. Then the sul
tan beckoned the angel to him.
" 'Art thou,' he said, 'truly the
Angf I of Death ?'
^ ?' 'Yes.' replied the other, indiffer
ently.
"The sultan nodded his head. Then
he said gravely:
" 'Why hast thou looked with such
strange earnestness at my vizier?'
" 'Because,' said "the angel, 'I won
dered what he was doing here, for I
have orders to kill him in Smyrna.' " ?

A DANGEROUS CONDITION

dinner? Mr. Ade is himself a bachelor

mor, due, no aoubt, to the biackuess of
their lonely lives.
"I was once remonstrating with a
bachelor in New York.
" 'No.' I saidtobim, 'stay here witb
us. A poker game is to start soon.
Don't you know, my dear fellow, that a
man should never call on a girl when
he has been drinking?'
" 'That is right,' said the bachelor,
taking ofT his hat and coat. 'Many a
man has become engaged through so
doing.'" ?Ex.
JUST US HE WAS
A Richmond minister not long ago
was asked to perform a marriage cere
mony by a young negro couple. As he
had employed the groom for a vear or
two, he censented, knowing what pres
tige would come to the couple by rea
son of having been married by a white
minister. At the appointed time the
happy pair arrived and the ceremony
proceeded.
"Do you take this man for better o
worse?" the minister asked.
For all her 9hynes9 the bride spoke
up oravely:
"No, sab, I don't," she said. "Ah'll
take hlra jest like he is. If he was ter
git any better I's 'fraid he'd die, an' if
he was ter git any wuss, ah'd kill him
myself."? Harper's Weekly.
Yesterday's press dispatches tell us
that Morgan and company have bought
two hundred thousand shares of stock
of the Alton Railroad in order that Mr.
Harriman may be saved from being de
throned by Fish in the fight which has
been raging for the past few weeks
over the election of a new directorate
for the raid. Evidently, by this time,
Mr. Harriman is convinced that it was
a while and not a Fish that he landed.
Then again, that California rattle
wherein a boy of nineteen drew a sweet
young bride o f forty-seven was a publio
demonstration that marriage is a lot
tery.

Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse? In Agony Eight Months
? Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED
"Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said it was. Wo called
in the family doctor and he gave seine
tabloU and said she would be all right
in a few days. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. Ho
said she was teething, as soon as the
t<vih were through sho would be all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
tiiae she was nothing but n yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said ho could
holp her, so we lot him try it about
a week. Ono morning wo discovered
a little yellow pimple on ono of her
eyes. Of course wo phoned for doctor
No. <i. He came over and looked her
over and eaid that he could not do any
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
vas an ulcer. So wo went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and ho said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought wo would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only h?
charged $10 more than doctor No. 4.
We were nearly discouraged. I saw
one of the Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought wo would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and
purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me $1. and in threo days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in ono week all sores had dis
appeared. Of course it could not re
store the eyesight, but if wo had wed
Cuticura in time I am confident that
it would have saved the eye. We think
there is no remedy so good for any . kin
trouble or impurity of the blood as
Cuticura. Mr. and ^Irs. Frank Abbott,
