REDICULOUi CLAIMS
What rediculous claims the politi
cian put forth (or the purpose of seek
ing unthinking votes. For instance,
the dispatches tell us that the republi
can campaign committee has put forth
a boon which claims that the hard
time* of a decade ago were due to the
Cleveland administration, and that the
recover/ was due to the subsequent
republican victory. That is about as
sensible as the long made contention
of the democrats that the hard times of
the 70s were dustothe Grant administra
tlon of that time. Had not Tilden been
cheated out of nis victor; in 1976 it is
likely that for a score of years the dem
ocrats would have been boasting of
their redemption of the country from
the wreck of the republican misrule as
the republicans are now boasting.
The fact of the matter is that the
panic of 1873 and that of 1893 were due
to a similar cause, and the cau-e was
the same as that which brought about
the panic of 1837 and others. All these
panics followed periods of reckless bor
rowing and frenzied speculation. They
came at a time when there was no
more money to borrow, and when the ,
lenders wanted their loans back. The '
country was just like . a farmer would
be who injudiciously spent the proceeds
of a mortgage on his farm, who could
borrow no more and must begin paying
the mortgage off.
The Alaska Month!/ Magazine, of
Juneau, publishes an ezteuded "review'* '
of Alaska's first election. It tries to j
show that the result was against terri- '
torial government. In doing so it
among other things says Mr. Cale ajjd
Mr. Waskey published statements that
they are opoosed to self-government be
yond having a local legislature. Will
the Monthly reproduce the statement?
Surely it is not, also, published for the
purpose of misleading?
The republicans carried Vermont last
Tuesday by 15,000 plurality, the small
eat since ISSiO. when it gave the repub
lican nominee for 'governor a plurality
of 14,000. The congressional delega
tion is unanimously republican. The
Democrats played even by carrying
Arkansas on the same day by 55,000
plurality. The got all the five con
gressmen.
Alaska has 11 daily newspapers
taking the telegraphic dispatches. All
of them favor territorial government
for AUska except the two at Juneau.
They alternate. They support it for a
while, oppose it ;for a while, and then
rest comfortably on the fence for a
while.
Seattle will vote upon the vexed
municipal ownership question tomor
row. The campaign has been a vigor
oua one, and the result will be in doubt
until the counting begins.

Caatcfirr Ejro?nae
Acute attacks of colic, diarrhoe a and
dysentery come on without warning and
prompt relief must be obtained. There
is no necessity of incurring the expense
of a physl can's service in such case if
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy is at hand. A dose
of this remedy will relieve the patient
before a doctor could arrive. It has
never known to fail, even in the most
?evere and dangerous cases and no
lamily should be without it. For sale
