HURRAH
The moat encouraging thing that h s
come lately over the horizon to the
south of u? it the prompt action taken
by Attorney General Bonaparte iu be
half of a square de*l for Alaskan elec
tors and against fraud in every shape in
relation to the election. Energy dis
played here was needful. It is being
employed, the people are reassured and
ready to stand by the results where
they know that the voice of the people
has been expressed.
"Instructions to Voters," is the name
of a little phamphlet being sent broad
cast by the republican territorial com
mittee, and signed by the chairman, F.
K. Youngs. Following is a paragraph
of those instructions:
It may be that there will be a few
localities where it will be impossible
for the voters to get to any established
voting precinct. In that event, we
suggest in case where it is absolutely
impossible for voters to get to a voting
place, that on the day of election in all
such places, August 11, 1HW, they select
judges ef election by majority votes of
three precinct*, have them sworn as
above prescribed, and have them pro
ceed in all other respects as above men
tioned. In this event the judges eo
selected should certify what was done
by the voters, and the reason why the
ballots were received at that particular
place, and defining the lin its of the
place from which the voters cast their
ballots, stating the reason why such poll
log place was opened and the impossi
bility of reaching any regular estab
lished polling place, and these certifi
cates should bo enclosed in the envelope
at the close of election, which is direct
ed to the governor of Alaska at Juneau."
If the "regular" republican party
does n t know the Uw governing elec
tion* in this district, who is to know it?
Who is to respect it? That it would be
unlawful to receive such votes Mr.
Youngs and the committee well knows.
Votets who live so distant from a poll
ing place live also distant from a no
tary public where they might make
arti iavit as suggested. The costing of
such votes is directly contrary to law?
to suggest it is to suggest unlawful
voting and It is to be expected that
those NOT ENTITLED TO VOTE at
all wou'd take advantage of the sugges
tion. And this from the "regular" re
publican committee.
INSTRUCTION FOR ILLE6AL VOTING
mm FAKE "BODS AGAINST WICKER'
SHAH" STOUT
Of c those stories sent out froui
N me is .0 the betting going on there
are simply a part uf the desperate
but queer campaign beloK conducted by
the C Tsciites. A statement that Urtte
odds hal been ottered against Wicker
sStm is calculated, of course, and in
tended, to create the impression that
Corson is in the race, which eveiybody
knows he is not. Sim lar telegrams
were received in this city? not address
ed to tbe Alaskan, mind you, but to
citizens who ni ght be expected to re
ceive such trorn ihe betting fraturnity.
Tbe purpose, of course, was not to have
the offers of odas accepted but to secure
publication of the tales as being true.
The report was, of course, prompt'y
brought to the Alaskan office, as the
leader knew It would be. Instead o(
being published, however, a pool w as
made up at once and sent to Nome to
be placed on Wlckersbam - this !>y way
of putting the truth of the story to the
test, as well as of making a little easy
money In oaso there were such queer
gambler* at Nome. That w?a two ilays
ago and of course no reply has been
received. There is no money being
offered at Nome on any such terms or
probably any other terms. If thore
were it would be covered twenty foet,
deep ?>y Wickersham money.
We are now threatened with an ex
position of the past, present and future
of Judge Wickersham. This will
probably leai to another exposition of
the past, present and future of several
other leading Alaskn federal officials. ?

Next to Rooaevelt or Mr. Taft? who
have it in their power to do so much
FOR Alaska, no man on earth would
be made so welcome as a visitor hore as
Mr. Kdison, who says ho is coming.
SOLITUDE
(Chitde Harold, Canto ii)
To sit on rocks, to m?t?o o'or flood
and fell,
To alowly trace the forest's shady
acene.
Where things that own not man's
dominion dwell,
And mortal foot hath ne'er or rarely
b?en
To climb the trackless mountain all
unseen.
With the wild Hock that nover needs
a fold;
Alone o'er steeps and forming falls
to lean: .
This is not solitude; 'lis but to hold
Converse with Nature's charms, and
view her stores unrolled.
Hut 'midst tho crowd, tho hum, the
?hook of mou;
To hear, to see, to feel, and to t>os
MM,
And roam along, tho world's tired
denizen,
With none who bles< us, none whom
we can blew;
Minions of splendor shrinking from
distress!
None that, with kindred conscious
ues* endued,
If we were not, would seem to srotle
the less
/all that flattered, followed, sought
and sued;
This is to be alone: thie, this is soli
tude!
?Lord Hlron.
