NEW MONARCHICAL RUSE
The monarchists, following the lead
of Got- Hoggatt, are doing their level
beat to represent to the world that the
movement for self-government in Alas
ka is nothing more nor less than an
indirect attempt to legalize gambling
in this district. Kor several weeks the
Juneau Transcript, one of the most
persistent. Tories in the district, has
been ringing the changes on this. In
lis last issue, referring to the recently
passed law making gambling a felony
it, Alaska, the Transcript says:
"Now if congress will only embedv
this law in the organic act tor territory
government, we call for the question
jst to see how near Gov. Hoggatt came
to wiling the truth when he said tbe
chief workers for territorial govern
ment wera those who want more liber
ties in the way they shall conduct their
saloon business."
How silly is thi> may be gleaned from
the (set that the sentiment for terri
torial government in Alaska is stronger
in tue mining districts and outlying
sections th?n it is in the larger towns.
There is no part of Alaska where the
demand for home rule is so strong as it
is on the Facana and Sewatd peninsula
creeks amoug the miners who 'are pro
ducing Alaska's gold and developing
its resources with whom gambling is
purely an abstract question.
Then there is no town in Alaska
where the sentiment for territorial
government is more nesrly nnanimous I
than it is at Nome, and there the people j
cloaed gambling themselves. There j
have been no "games" at Nome for
more than a \eaiv ana the movement to
close them was inaugurated by the
labor unions anil backed up by the
business men of that city.
No, gentlemen, the game won't work.
The people will be prepared to show j
that this, like all theother monarchical ;
ruaes that have been sprung in the
past, is being urged for the simple
purpose of prejudicing the government
at Washington against the Alaskan
people that the '"influence" of the
Tory lobby may continue all powerful.
The verdict of the Thaw jury has
already been approved by the people
and press of the I nited States. The
ground of their approral is not based on
the insanity theory, however. They
think White got his just deserts.
They are about to have a machinists"
strike at Seattle. Down there a
demand has been made (or a minimum
scale of forty cents per hour. If a
atrike shall be called it is said there
will be 2,000 men wa.k out.

OHIO PAPER
TALKS Of "TICK"
! On March 1:2th Skagway Lodge No.
481, Benevolent A Protective Order c?
Lilies, had a minstrel show at Skagway.
Alaska, and in the list of performers on
the procr*\im is included the name of
'?Tuck'" Haharty, formerly of Bucyrus.
The frost of the fro/en north has not
separated Fred from his nickname and
he appears on the program as "'Tuck.''
His part ia the show was that of "Ippc'
Cacx, cant keeu him down," in j
special number styled the "Queen of
the Cocoanut Isles."
The Skagway minstrels, as outlirn 1
in the Daily Alaskan of that city, w *
fully modern in all respects, tbe pro
gram showed. Many of the latt-l
songs were down on tbe program ami
there was nothing included in it which
would be called old, even in the eastei
part of the United States.
A copy of the Daily Alaska'),
containing mention of the minstrel
show, has been received here. The
paper is quite a bright. looking sheet.?
