TORIES ANDUMIOH IAbOB
It will be strange If the Tories do not
flod that they have gre?tly strengthen
ed the hand of organized labor In Mas
ka by their stupid adherence to moo
aruhloal government principles, because
the great majority of the Alaskan people
are Americans who believe la Ameri
oaa principles. They will not acoepr
th# dictation from a governing trust
no matter how "respectable" the
individual members of the trus? might
b?. They will not rest until they have
WHIPPED FKOM POSITIONS OF
POWER AND INFLUENCE EVERY
TORY OFFICEHOLDER IN ALAS
KA; they will not cease their efforts In
beha'f of liberty until they HAVE
DESTROYED THE INFLUENCE OF
EVERY CORPORATION LOBBY
IST IN THE DISTRICT. They will
continue their battle until ther win
and the labor unions will be lacking
in shrewdness if they do not talte ad -
vantage of this situation to strengthen
their position.
In the meantime if the employers of
union labor In Alaska desire to avoid
frletion, If they desire a fair and even
place In the minds of the people in case
friction does come, THEY WILL
THROW THE "GOVERNMENT
TRUST" AND EVERY MAN CON
NECTED THEREWITH OVER
BOARD? ami It might be added that
DELAY IS DANGEROUS.
AAOiHER TORY BOGY DE
STROYED
One of the bogles the Tories hav*
bten holding up before the conserva
tive business men of Alaska for the
purtxwe of Inducing them to bear the
!o?s of their American oitisenship com
placently has been union laDor. T lej
have said give the people self-govern
ment and you will have organised labor
with which to CO' tend.
In response to this argument (?) the
support- m of home rule have said
the e is no c onectlon between the
two ? that un ou labor will come. In the
eours< of time whether we have self
government <>r not.
As always It does, time is justifying
the cont-ntioos of those who support
conservative American principles in
Alaska Aire dy union U orha? been
in'roducel in the district, and it
will bea me stronger ami stronger as
time goes on
And it might not be amiss to add '.hit
union 1 bor Is well org*o!i#d through
out the United State*. It is In poa'tloo
to reach the government at Washing
ton as well as I* Gov Hoggatt and the
other representatives of th# "Alaskan
Government Trust."
EVERYBODY GLAD
There is genuine pleasure everywhere
because former President Cleveland
bas successfully passed through the
ordeal of a critical surgical operation,
and that physicians say his
life may be spared for
manv yeass. While a vast majority
of American citizens, no doubt, do not
sub>eribe to Cleveland governmental
policies, yet there are few who have
not survived the period when thev
thought of the only living ex-president
with feelings of bitterness. Most p?c
ple give bim credit for sincerity and
courage, and none charge him with
being a demagogue. For him nearly
everybody has naught but good will,
and the hope that he might enjoy his
greeo old age and growing family for
another s rore of years may be truth
fully said to be general.

DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Ara Too Dangerous j
For Alaska People to Neifleot
The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes tlietn. Health is
jradually uoermined. Backache head
ache, nervousness, lameness, sorenets,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
diabetes and Brlght's disease follow in
mercilesa succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidieys with
tbe certain and safe remedy, Doans
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Eltzabeth Maxwell, of 415 W.
Foanh St., O'ympia, WMb.says: '"I
have no Idea bow mi>ch suffering 1
would have avoided had I known the
value of Down's Kidney Pills sooner.
For tbree years I hive suffered, doctor
ed and treated for a dropsical condition
of the body without ever knowing the
true souroe of the trouble to be In the
kidneys, until, about two months ago,
when I was lnduoed to try Doan's Kid
ney Pills. I had swelling of the feet
and limbs; my hands would puff up,
tret tense sod I could hardly close them.
Tne other symptoms w?re lost sight of
in tbe more noticeale ones. Af^er pro
curing Doan's Kidney Pills, I found
urompt relief from the s'art. The
swelling and bloating were reduced
uotil they entirely disappeared and ?
toning up and strengthening of uiy
*hole system was felt. The other day
I climbed up a steep hill without a
pause or a flutter of tbe heart. I was
not 6 weeks ago that I tried the sume
feat and nearly broke down in the
attempt."

Streat Names In City of Mcxico.
1'bo street nomenclature la the City
of Mexico Is even uiore puzzling tliau
Unit In Now Orleans. Each block has
a different name. Following the same
street, jou successively go through the
streets of St. Augustine, of the Angel,
of tlie Holy Ghost, of St. Joseph, etc.
From the street of the Hats you pass
to the street of the Crosses; from the
Street uf the Gate of Heaven to that of
the I.ove of Hod. Every shop also has
a special name, us was the custom for
merly In Europe. I regret that 1 did
not jot down ninny ? curious ones. I
only remember a "pulquo" drinking
shop called I-os Perros (the Dogs), thus
plainly telling the frequenters what
they are going to. Another "pul
querla," directly opposite a church,
calls Itself boldly El Castillo del Di
ablo (the Castle of the l?evll). Anoth
er Is San Luti^s (Si. Monday). The
Mexican wor! man always celebrates
Mouday us a day of re.it and dissipa
tion. lie will work on Sunday, but

Tin Filled Teeth.
"Do you know that tooth Id filled
with tin':" asked tin- dentist, tapping
one of liis patient's molars with his
Utile pick.
"ludwl 1 <lo. That was tilled years
ago ti.v a country dentist, and It Is the
best fill! i?: I have ever had put In a
tooth."
"Of course It is. It Is a pity more
people do not know that fact. The
0:ily trouble i< that (in is so hard to
manipulate it costs more than gold
Oiling, and people ? 1 not pay the
price fo- anything which sounds so
cheap tin. 1 have one customer,
though, who Is ediica;e(l. lie is n
Wall street broker, and he will not let
me put any other kind ot tilling into
his teeth except tin. He pays me S-u
an hour and lets tne take all the time
that is necessary. It Is not so expen
sive as it seems at tirst. however, for
once In a tin lllling never has to be
renewed, whereas gold often does."?

The Boat For the Missouri.
The eccentric and variable Missouri
river has "a personal friend" lu George
Fitch, who declares lu the American
Magazine that the stream Is navigable
enough If only the steamboats would
conform to Its peculiarities. "The Mis- ;
sour! river steamboat." says Mr. Klteh. ;
?'should be shallow, lithe, deep chested
and exceedingly strong in the stern
wheel. It should be hinged In the
ndddle uud should be fitted with a
suction dredge, so that when It cannot
climb over a sand bar it cau assimilate
it. The Missouri river steamboat
'>i;ould be n'.'le to cake use of a clutn '
nil, but should not have to depend up
?B It. A steamer thnt cannot on o< i

T!i" Oldest Book.
The oldest book in the world to
h a positl* e date can Iks assigned
'a tin lissortment of pivverbs some
wh it after the style of the proverbs
ollected by Solomon. The work Is iu
(.re.llted to I'tah-hotep. au Kgyptian
Ma.', and Egyptologists assign to It au
.uiipilty of at least 300 B. C. Abre
!i. i i was called to leave his home in
t'r of the t'halilees 1H21 B. C., so that
?'-I , volume was wrltleu 1.100 years
before the beginning of Jewish hlsto
t> The deluge is placed by most chro
iiel igi.sts at B. 'JS4S, so the book. If
its dating is correct, must have been
written before the flood. Methuselah
was born B. ('. ;U!17. so that this pany
ms was prepared and these proverbs
were collected when the oldest man on
record was a lively young fellow of
300 years.
SHe^iot Wise.
A Ln ramie woman went to the the
ater the other night with some friends,
lint when they were seated she was
depurated from her friends by a man
ftnd woman who seemed to pay no at
tention to eaeh other. The woman
figured out that if the two people
would sit over a seat she eould sit
with her friends. Bracing up her
nerve, she said sweetly to the man,
?'Beg pardon, are you here alone?"
The man stared at tlie curtain as if he
were drawing a salary for it. "'I beg
pardon." (lie woman said a little loud
er, "are you alone?" "Get wise," whis
pered the inan hoarsely through the
extreme corner of his 11101th; "this la

South American Oil Birds.
One of the animal curiosities of South
America Is the "oil bird," or guaeharo.
It breeds In rocky caves on the main
land, and one of Its favorite haunts Is
the Island of Trinidad. It lays Its eggs
In a nest made of mud, and the young
IJrds are prodigiously tit. The natives
melt the fnt down In clay pots and pro
duee from It a kind of butter. The
cares Inhabited by the birds are usual
ly accessible only from the sea, and
the hunting of them Is sometimes an
excltipg sport.
Poor Birdl
The foolish man approached the won
derful goose that laid the golden eggs.
"Old bird." ejaculated the foolish
man, "I think your time has come.
Golden eggs are no longer popular.
Why can't you lay gold bricks?"
"Because, master," replied the goose,
"I don't belong to the bricklayers' un
ion."
And then the ax fell.? Chicago News.

"Not always. He has a habit of talk
