THE SAN FRANCISCO FUND
P ?
Everybody in Skagway, who can
afford to do so, should call at W. W.
B rough toe's store and make a contribu
tion to the San Francisco relief fund.
The contribution should be as large as
one can make it without inconvenience,
bat ao one should refuse to contribute
because he feels that other obligations
make it impossible for him to give as
much as he would like. Juneau,
Douglas and Tread well gave 96,000;
Valdez contributed $1,000: many east
ern cities donated practically $1 per
inhabitant. The great fund that is
being raised testifies to the charity and
nobility of the American and Canadian
people, and Skagway should be proper
ly represented in it.
A favorite way vof making donations
at Seattle and other places that prob
ably could be utilized here Is for people
engaged in a certain house or a certain
line or otherwise associated, to raise
an amount by each contributing 50
cents, II $2, 15, more or less, as he
feels able, and to put the total on the
list without enumerating the givers.
By this means those who feel that
their necessities prevent their giving
as much as their neighbors think they
should are saved the humiliation of
having their contributions mace a
matter of gossip. San Francisco will
require help for many weeks, and the
contributions coming in at this day will
be appreciated just as much or more
than were those inspired by the im
pulse to the sympathies resulting from
the first terrible shock. They will
help on that long, hard uphill pull that
the stricken people will have to make
in the weeks and months that are to
come, when the stimulating excitement
shall have died out and much of the
sympathy that has sustained them shall
have been directed elsewhere.
The suspicion th?c the fine hands of
Alexander Mackenzie and Judge Noyis,
who attempted to take Nome and the
Seward peninsula over to their own use
and benefit and that of their friends
and oohorta, have much to do with the
efforts in certain places to prevent the
confirmation of the appointment of
Judge Wickersham is not lessened by
the activity of the North Dakota sen
ators. It will be remember that Sen
ator McCumber, who assisted Senator
Nelson directly in securing delay in
the vote on the question of confirma
tion, once made a speech in which he
referred to Mr. Mackenzie us a patriot
and condemned in severe terms the
judges of tbe circuit court in sentenc
ing him and Judge Noyes to jail.
If the Post-Intelligencer quoted Gov.
Hoggatt correctly our chief executive
said a week or two ago that territor
al government had been disposed of for
10 years to come. That is a very rash
statement. It is not at all unlikely that
long before that time shall have passed
the people who are now directing
affairs in the national legislative halls
will have given place to others who
think more of republican form of gov
ernment and less of the enjoym?nt
of power.
The reputation of the White Pass 4
Yukon, andihe people who made it, is
such that their connection with any
thing Is taken as conclusive evidence of
good faith and ability to make good.
The SiUca Cablegram, m commenting
upon western Alaska railroads, refers
to the fact that the Cordova road is to
be built by M. J. Heney, and that the
White Pass pet pie are its backers.
This, it adds, "has convinced every
body that it will be built."
Alaska's first need is a republican
form of government, and that will be
the Issue in the coming campaign.

desirables Homes in Skagway? Compri

See Mrs.Benn at Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The Sitka Cablegram differs with the
Daily Alaskan as to the propriety of
introducing party politics in Alaska.
It says if we had democratic and re
publican organizations fighting tor
supremaoy in the district neither one
would care to go on record as opposing
self-government for the district, the
inference being that such wou'd give
the other party too great an advantage
in the battle for control.
