It is aot to be, however. Despite
ta- overtures of peace made 011 th>
part of tho railroad, whose officials
proposed that a representative tick*, t
be agreed upon, Sh< a. Tanner A; Co..
Inc., at once dug up an issue, reject
ed the fair compromise proposed, and
now to the best of their ability are
engaged in stirring up fresh strife
in Skagway.
It s about time the people of Skag
way learned tho true eharacter of
Christopher Columbus Shea and "Si" J
Tanner, tho men who are largely re
sponsible tor the incessant bickering
aud turmoil in this town. Neither!
of these men are sincere in their af- 1
footed "patriotism" and love for tht '
"dear people." Both of them are '
chronic trouble makers and blatant '
agitators. To this end they peddle
sensational gossip and distort the
facts.
If the people want another year of
civil w.ir and scraps they can elect
Shea. Tanner & Co. If the citizens
of the town want peace and harmony
and .1 united Skagway they will re
pudiate these cheap political huck
sters and elect sane, competent men.

RELIGIOUS EVOLUTION.
Rev. Mr. Jackson of Toronto, not
only rejects the orthodox conception
o( the world having been actually cre
ated in mx solar days: he questions
the Biblical idea of the deluge and of
the reputed age of Methuselah as
' neither science nor history." The
book of tienesis he holds to be rich ia
r< vi-aled truth for all persons who
study it in a properly receptive spirit,
but holds its hitherto accepted facts
are merely myth, tradition or allegory
Mr. Jackson sustains his position b>
an appeal to records which have been
unearthed by modern scientific in
vi-stigators, all of which, he contends,
go to prove that if the church pur
poses retaining Its hold upon au intel
hjjeut people who will be satisfied
with nothing but revealed truth, her
teachers and preachers must revise
their theological standards and sub
stitute rational belief for unchangea
ble doguia. ? Victoria Times.
We may be super-critical, but i:i
our humble opinion it was a grievous
error for the Tax i'aytrs' party to
omit frooi their platform tae time
honored phrases, "we view with
alarm" and "point with pride."
Most of the fairer sex of Skagway
were down town Saturday inspecting
tho spri.ig millinery preparatory to
purchasing Eastre "lids."
bear it wh 'n you see the bills, gentle
men.
"Then I commended mirth, because
a man hath no better thing under the
sun. than to eat. and to drink, and tc
be merry: for that shall abide with
him of his labor the days of his
life."
The contemptable cur who Is throw
ing poison about the streets of Skag
way Is continuing his work. Such a
man is a disgrace to Skagway.
