~The Army Navy
igAin figured it all out th*1 lhe
hMM. .hould bo withdrawn from
Alaska. and * sort of police con.tab
uUrv substituted U say? that the
Array has informed ita function
?nd that conditions no longer re
quire then, in the north, con?eq?ent
lv they should be taken **ay
This line of argument could a.
well ?PPly to any State in the
I'nlo. as to Alaska The military
division in which Alaska troop, are
maintained is known as the IVpart
WM of Columbia, and embraces
Washington, Oregon. Idaho, part of
Wyoming and Alaska There is not
a single argument that can be
used for withdrawing Alaska troops,
that does not apply to any or all
parts of the division. The Register
?*vs that things are ?ettled here
and the troops are no longer need
ed Things are also settled in oth
er parts of the division, yet no at
tempt is King made to remove the
troops Surely Alaska need, de
fending as much a. Wyoming or
Montana doc* Troop. from here
could be transported to the coast
for National defense as quickly as
from Idaho or Montana It is a.
impossible to find a reason for tak
ing our troops to Montana a. it
would be for taking Montana troops
to Alaska I
In fact there i. a rapidly growing
belief that but few troop, are need
with the exception of along the
coasts. and with th? coming of
more sensible international laws
and agreement, it would be un
necessary to maintain them even
there War has no place in a per
feet civilisation, and the mere fact
that war exist, is an indication that
our civilisation is Incomplete.
A condition confront, the nation,
of the world at the present time
which may embroil some of our
most friendly countries: Russia is
even now mohlliiing her armies of
the west for the ostensible purpose
of interfering in the Balkan war.
lu the clash of arms, the greed of
territorial extension, or the impas
sioned conflict of jealousies, It is
not beyond the bounds of rea*?n
to apprehend that the 1 nited State?
may be drawn into a military en
tanglement In such case Alaska
would be the first target for Rus
sian occupation, and with no
troops, no forts and a hostile nation
but a few miles across the Bering
.traits, our cities would be taken ir>
a fortnight
If the United States i. to main
tain troops at all, they should be
maintained in Alaska.
The cable between Wrangell and
Ketchikan ha* b?>en out of oommis
sion for a month Oaring that time
there has been one or two ineffect
ual attempt* at retiring it, made
from small g.isoline boats, by a
couple of repair men sent up from
the Sound The cable ship is in
dry dock getting some gold leaf put
onto her fo'cas'le and some red tape
stretched around her offing When
that is finished the government will
order, or rather request, the com
mander to notify the straw boss to
inform the tyler that a banquet is
to be given the officer of the
noble ship, prior to her sailing over
the bounding main in search of the
lost chord.
Then there will be some activity.
I'p will come the mad hook, rags
will be staffed In th? leaky steam
pipes, the good ship will do a little
grand maneuvering until tt kicks
some piling out of the docks, and
then ye ho, lads ho, off for the land
of the midnight sun; far away from
civilisation, where hardships and
dog teams, postcards and writers
tell of tempest tossed and angry
foam and the snort of the aurora
borealis, After splicing the cable
the noble ship will return to dry
dock for a regilding. and the bill
of expense will be charged to the
maintenance of the cable, and used
as a reason for charging the pa
trons three price* for sending a
wire of protest against the federal
neglect of the Nation's greatest pos
session
TURNED THE TABLES.
An Amusing Incident of Old Time Po?
HVcal Campaigning.
An Illustration of early campaigning
in Illinois shows the good feeling and
the disposition to let the best man win
that often prevailed.
James G. Robinson and Klcbnrd
Oglesby. sfterwanl governor, were op
ponents for the ofllce of state senator
The settlements lu those days were
muttering. and as tbe rivals were good
friends tbey agreed to go together and
bold Joint discussions. The under
standing was that If either desired to
talk anywhere else apart from the Joint
delates he had a jierfect right to do so
At one place Kobluson announced
that be wouid make a s|<eecb In the
courthouse A large crowd greeted
him. Oglesby wns sitting In front of
the hotel across the wsy snd became
uneasy lest Robinson should get some
votes away from him.
It bappeued that tHrlesby could play
the violin well. A man came along
with one under bis arm. and Oglesby
asked If he might borrow it for the
evening. 1 he man couseuted. and
Oglesjy commenced playing In order to
draw the crowd away from Robinson's
meeting. He succeeded One by one
the men came out of tbe courthouse,
and when t>glesby swung lo'o a lively
dance measure the crowd responded
with an impromptu "hoe down."
Robinson, seeing bis audience dwln
dllng. stopped speaking and came out
himself. Taking In the situation at a
glance, he pulled off his shoes and l<e
came tbe most enthusiastic participant
dancing first with one and then with
another of his late bearers The crowd
was delighted, and Robinson bad the
satisfaction of completely turning tbe
tables on his adroit opponent.? Shelby
