CHAMBERLAIN AND THE
ELECTIONS
The returns from the national elec
tions in Great Britain show how em
phatically hare the British people re
pudiated the able but cold, calculating',
selfish Chamberlain. They also indica
cate how thoroughly Chamberlain de
serves that epitaph proposed by Lord
Roseberry, who in a recent speech, said
his headstone should be Inscribed to
show that he was a man who in a polit
ical career of 30 years had wrecked two
great political parties. It will be re
membered that Chamberlain started
life a liberal and 1< ad a revolt from that
party because of the pro-Irish attitude
of Gladstone, its leader, destroying for
a time|,he expeca'ious of h!? party asso
ciates. At the heighth of his power in
the conservative party he made war on
tree trade, espousing the cause of high
tariff. Many of his party leaders and
much of its voting strength followed
him. Balfour, his party leader, at
tempted to heal the breach caused by
the movement by following him part
way. The result has been overwhelm
ing disaster to ptotection, the conserva
tive party and Chamberlain.
One othsr lessoa demonstrated by
the British elections is that the tide of
public opinion favoring the strong arm
? the doctrine that might makes right
has spent itself so far as Great Britain
is concerned. This mailed Gst and iron
heel sentiment, inspired by an able and
ambitious European emperor, nour
ished by the brilliant prose and verse
of a great English writer and vitalized
by a vigorous and popular American
statesman, stripped of what beneficent
features it possesses, was epitomized in
Chamberlain and his career in the pres
ent decade. His defeat demonstrates
that the British people have ceased to be
charmed by the glories of power and
advantage secured by force.

There is no question bui that if all
Southeastern Alaska had worked to
gether a Juneau man would succeed
Gov. Brady, and there is no question
but that Southeastern Alaska would
have worked together had the people
of Juneau shown the same interest in
the affairs of the district that has been
manifested by those of other sections of
It. As it is the people of Skagway,
Ketchikan and other sections have
worked and are working with those of
Fairbanks, Nome, Seward and else
where to secure self-government and
other things to which the people of
Alaska feel that they are entitled.
Th? result has been that the office
seekers and their friends from other
sections than Juneau have had oppor
tunities that have been denied those of
the Hub. Others of Southeastern
Alaska would still like very well to
work with those of Juneau bur they re
fuse to su:k with thrm. They will
probably allow all spoil hunters, no
matter whence they hail, to contend
without their assistance.

satisfactory way to fight against confla

Halibut Supply Very Sh >it
Seattle fish dealers are complaining
of a sho.tage n the Ala>kan hali
but supply. Last year they were re
ceiving 800.000 pounds per month. The
supply now is only 500,000, yet the de
mand is much greater.
The Grip
"Before we can sympathize with
others, we mr.st have suffered our
selves." No one can relize the suffer
ing attendatt upon an a*tac< of the
grip, unless he has had the actual ex
perience. There is probably no 'li&ease
that causes so much phsical and mental
agony, or which so successfully defies
medicil aid, All danger from the grip,
howevtr, may be avoided by the prompt
use of Chamberlains Cough Remedy.
Among the tens of thousands who have
used this remedy, not one cas? has ever
been reported that has resulted in
pneumonia or ?bat has cot recovered.

The supporter* of self-government 1
will not permit the attitude Juneau olt- 1
izens hare allowed the tory minority in
their town to put them in to change
their course. They understand that
Juneau sentiment Is always American
wtun It can be prevailed upon to assert
itself and that when self-government
shall have leen attained Juneau will
fall in line. So they will continue to
fight for their rights and let the spe
cific favors and plums that might re
sult from their efforts care for them
selves. They are contending for prin
ciples and not spoils. However, if oth
ers in Southeastern Alaska do not
always labor with Junean's special
well fare constantly in mlcd the people
of that town must take the blame to
themselves.
It is ncn believed that the liberal
party under the leadership of Sir Hecry
Campbell-Bannerman will have a large
working majority in the British com
mons over the combined vote of the
conservatives, unionists, Irish nation
alists and labor party members. At
the close of Wednesday the returns
showed liberals, 167: conservatives and
unionists, 73; nationalists, 50; labor
paity, 31, the liberal majority over all
being 13, Thursday the conservatives
carried Birmingoam and stayed the
progress of the liberal wave for a time.
Mayor Ballinger, of Seattle, who has
constantly refused to permit the con
sideration of himself ax a candidate for
re-election. has at last consented to take
the nomination if it shall be presented
to liim and he shall be urged to accept
it a-; a public duty he owes his city. He
will probably be renominated by the]
republicans and re-elected. He has
matle a good mayor and his record will
be his platform. He will receive much
support from members of all politictl
parties.

Considerable interest is felt in the
selection of a successor to John Green
Braiy as governor of Alaska, but, to be
honest, we firmly believe that the aver
age citizen hopes only for a change and
does Dot care who gets the place, only
wishing it to be an Alaskan, if not a

A YANKEE TRICK
[Original.]
While dining Informally with my
friends the Paxtona the subject turned
upon the English railway coaches and
the liability of travelers to be shut up
In one of their compartments with a
cutthroat or a lunatic. Paxton, who
w;i9 English born, defended the sys
tem, pronouncing the Amerlcau plan
only flt for cattle moving. He declared
th.it Americans preferred their cars be
ct; use, having access to one another,
they were free to practice their Yanket
tricks on each other.
"He knows better than that." said
Mrs. Paxton. "At any rate 1 do, as I
will prove to you if you will listen to
me.
"At one time, before I was married,
we wero stopping In London. Father
was busy all day with some financial
affair, and mother was confined to the
house under tho care of u nurse. I
'did' all the sights of the city, includ
ing the Tower, the British museum,
the parks, and then I thought I would
take a run to Hampton Court. I had
no business to go off alone. It would
have been all right at home, but there
It was not in good form. In Paris It
would have been impossible. Never
theless I had Just enough of Yankee in
dependence In me to make the trip,
and, driving to the Btatlou, I got aboard
the train, stepping into a first class
carriage. I was delighted to notice that
I was the only occupant and much dis
appointed Just before the train started
at the entrance of a gentleman. With
out noticing me he sat down in the far
thest corner and buried himself in a
newspaper.
"Where had I seen that face before!
Was It at the National gallery or In
Hyde park or both? It seemed to me
that I had seen it not only once, but
several times. It could not have been
at any social gathering? at least there
had been no Introduction? or he would
have given me an opportunity to bow
to him. Instead he paid no more atten
tion to me than if 1 had been a maid
servant, though I wore my smartest
costume Just out of the tailor's bauds."
"Were you out to catch a British
husbaud?" laughed Paxton.
"What do you mean? Yen L:iow I
had no idea of such a thins"' flapped
his wife. Then after a pause sin- went
on with her story.
"The man after reading his paper for
a few minutes began to yawn, thou fell
asleep. lYescntly he began to mutter.
1 could only hear snatches of what he
said, such as: 'There's a gwd time com
ing." 'Britannia rules the wave.' 'My
love lives over the sea.' Then he
would laugh nud sing snatches of songs
'ind talk again and laugh again, every
time laughing louder tliau before.
"Of course I was frightened out of
my senses. I vowed that if I got out
of the compartment alive I would nev
er get Into another one. But I felt
sorry for my traveling companion, who
seeuied to belong to the better class
and was dressed like a gentleman."
"Did you fall iu love with him, Lil
lie?" asked I'axton.
"Not at all. lie? bis delirium or
insanity or Idiocy, whatever It was,
kept Increasing. I put my head out of
the window to see if I could get a
guar#, but there was none in sight, and
I desisted."
"Swearing, dear?" from the husband.
"Yon know very well I did no such
thing, but I confess I abused the Eng
lish system of railway coaches, and I
do not doubt the Englishman if he had
been awake would have heard me
plainly enough. He seemed to fancy
himself in all sorts of places. At one
time he was playing cricket, at another
football, finally waking up with: 'II ur
rah! Kicked a goal, by Jove!'
"As soon as his eyes were open he
looked about him vaguely, then at me.
Seeing that I was disturbed about
something, he asked very deferentially
what it was and when I told him apol
ogized, saying that he had had no sleep
for several days, during which he had
been engaged in exciting work, and
supposed his mental apparatus had
gone on working while he was asleep.
He was perfectly sane and very gentle
manlike. Having opened a conversa
tion, I told him where I was going, and
be gave me a great deal of Information
about Cardinal Wolsey's palace. He
said he knew all about It, because he
had been studying It up in the guide
book for the purpose of visiting it and
was on his way there."
"You surely didn't permit a stranger
to join you in that fashion?" remarked
the husband.
"What could I do? The gentleman
seemed so interested in the palace and
told me so many things that? well, we
went through Hampton Court and back
to London in the same compartment."
"Phew!" exclaimed Paxton. "Did
you ever hear the like o' that?"
"I see nothing especially unconven
tional In It," I replied, siding with the
wife.
"Go on, my dear," said Paxton.
"Give us the rest of it It's very excit
ing, yon know. Did he get delirious on
the way back?'
"No, Jind I've never known him to
talk in his sleep from that day to this."
Paxton burst into a laugh, In which I,
after taking in the situation. Joined.
"You Americans think you have a
monopoly of Yankee tricks," said Pax
ton. "You haven't, as I proved. After
following her all over London I acci
dentally saw her driving by my club.
Calling a cab, I caught her at the sta
tion. I racked my brain for an sxcuse
to speak to her and was at last drlvaa
to feign the nonsense I gave her."
"Do yon mean to tell me," said Mrs.
Paxton. "that this la true?"
"I do."
"Well, I declarer
