LET REPUBLICANS ALONE
The Ket.-hikau Mir.er takes excep
tions to The Alaskan'* recent editorial
wherein this newspaper, in referring
to the coming June?u Republican con
vention anil the attempt a: that time
ma'le to hold a non-partisan convention
beforehand, saii:
"The Alaskan cinnot believe that
the Hoggatt forces will be stroug
enough to carry matters at the conven
but, If they are, ami do it with members
rightfully in the convention an>l resort
to no underhand tactics. then this
new-paper will make no whimper. The
Alaskan is willing 10 have th ' question
fought out cn their merits by the
people. It believes in Republicans
makiug tneir fight nmonsist themselves
in the convention and is adverse t > pny
sideshow peiformance."
The Miner asks:
Are we to unders' ?nd The Alaskan
as being in favor of submitting the
question of territorial government to
the tiual determination of a single
convention labeling itse'f either re
publican or democrat i V While The
Miner would not be witling to en lorse
in advance any meeting or gathering
called for th>' real or ostensible purpose
of forestalling the possible or pro! able
action of the convention of either party,
yet the question of home government
being one iha? concerns all the people,
without respect to parly arti I i ?. t ion, it
can see no good reason why the proposed
non-partisan convention should not be
held? instea' of leaving the determin
ation of thtt one all absorbing
question to the consideration of the pol
iticians of either one or both political
parlies m convention assembled "
e> l'he Alaskan is uiv.jua'ifiedly in
favor of hiving the matter settled by
the Republicans at the Juueau e inven
tion. Republicans endorsed Ho^gati
for governor, under the pledge which
he gave party leaders that he would be
steadfast in his d- macda for home rule
government. He proved recrent to his
trust and, unknowingly, the Republican
party did Alaska an almost irreparable
injury. This being so ? the damage
heing of Republican origin ? it is up to
the Republicans to meet as an organ -
zation and oass such resolutions as will
forever discredit Governor Uoggatt in
iheejesof those he has. much after
the fashion he employed here, deceived
in Washington. The resolutions should
b? a Mptei* as a po'itica' denunciation
of * man who is f.lse to his people, his
friends and his part'- foggatl has no
cons'dention for the interes's of Al ts
ka and words should not be minced it,
showfng the world that A'aska Repi'b
licans. who were responsible for his
elevation, have no u?e for hi a. Let
the Republican convention alone.
THE MEN OF SPAIN
Before the war with Spain in 1SSV?
the average American would have
thought little of the protection which
the Spanish soldiers -a few hundred
strong? could give a town threatened
by any 6t?hiin? force worthy of men
tion H the conditions which exist in
Morocco had suddenly then called for
the u^e of European troops io beat back
hostile ua'ives from seaports where
Christains and Jews had been m?sse
crcd. and France and Spain had sent
help, all of the credit, or nearly all, for
rfpulsintr Mc irish attack^ woi'ld uave
been given to Franc?\
It ia different now. When Americans
read that five hundred Spanish soldiers
and a few seamen from a Spanish war
chip have taken part in garrisoning*
C'asa Rlanca an ' repelling the assaults
of the wild tribesmen who surround the
town, on the land side, they kcoir that
the best troops France can send to Afri
ca would hardly surpass the steadiness
and courage of the Spaniards.
Americs remembers bow Vera del
Rty's men held their grounc. at Caney
until nearly a'l of them bed been killed
or wounded. This country has not for
go'ten how gallantly the trenches at
SanJuan were defended by Spanish sold
iers who were outnumbered by the best
United States regulars.
LINEMAN ARRESTED FOR
, SLEEPING ON POLE TOPS
Baltimore, Aug. 31? Twice having
brougt ambulances tearing to the scene
of his exhibition, John Leitner. n line
man. who has the habit of going to
lieep on the tops of tel< graph poles, is
under arrest in the police station here.
Leituer slept his tlrst nip Saturday
r.fternoon, when, as today, the police
comiug to remove a supposed ueud or
dying man. interrupted it. A fe* min
utes before 1- o'clock to-day the super
intendent of Tiiuanus Mills, of wbica
ex-Mayor K. Clay Tiiuanus is head, tel
eplioned to ihe northern police sta'iou,
and in a very agitated voice, stated tkac
au employee of the Cnesapeak & Poto
mac Telephone Company had been
stricken by e'eetricity, and that h s
dead bidy was resting on the wires.
A moment later the indus'ries in the
neighborhood were en. [tied of their
workmen goin* to dinner, but ue?rly
all of them halted, and, with pitying
glances an.l horror-struck faces. k vel? 1
their eyes upon the still figure on the
top ot the pole. The man lay perfectly
still, one leg w?s thrown over a ert?
bar, ard jit arms were extended atd
partly resting his drooping head on the
beam above him. .d the Northern dis
trict ambulance was being ;ed at the
imit of speed to the -.cene, while the
driver lashed the horses to a gallop.
J ust as the wagon approached the
pole the supposed lead man lifted his
head, stretched his arms, yawned, Unik
look aroundt did not apt ear to notice
the crowd who wt re watching him, and
caluiy U'Ok up his f. rmer position. The
police finally induced him tcdescend. A
mark on Leiiuer's leg indicated that he
had sutT. red an electric shoe1*.
