THAT SEWARD MONUMENT
Some discussion it being indulged la
s* to the proposed erection at Seattle of
a monument to William H. Seward,
who oooducted the negotiations on the
part of the United States for the pur
chase of Alaaka. The suggestion has
been made that ths monument should
be located at Juneau or Seward or some
ulnar place in Alaska rather than at
Seattle.
Really, there is no occasion for all
this discussion. No city need hare a
monopoly of Seward monuments. The
erection of a monument to ths great
secretary at Seattle, tc be unveiled at
the time of the fair there, would be a
very appropriate thine, and it would not
deprive any town in Alaska, or all of
ths towns of the district, from doing
likawlae
The matter is one that Is optional
with the contributors It is not pro
poeed to ratse the fund for the monu
ment by taxation. There is no'.hing to
compel one whoisoareiessastothe erec
tion of such a monument at Seattle to
subscribe to the fund for that purpose.
Then wny should any one deter those
who desire to pay that tribute to the
great Seward from doiog it? What is
the matter with letting sll dig up
for monuments in their favorite places?
There is no possibility of having too
many monuments to Seward or for do
ing his name too muoh honor.
Gov. Hoggatt told President Ro:>ee
velt that the "solid business interests"
of the territory are opposed to terri
torisl government for Alaska, and the
Juneau Becord-Miner, which has as
sumed the role of his organ, repeating,
parrot ?like,says,.he"solld businsss inter
ests" of the territory praise him for it.
Now will Gov. Hoggatt or the Kecord
Miner please name the representatives
of the "solid business interests" and
the "interests' they represent who are
opposed to territorial government?
Come, it will not take much space.
They do not mean the men '.who are
producing annually S20.000,c00 of gold.
That is certain. They do not mean the
great mass of Alaska's merchants who
are transacting its ?reat volume of
business. Because all these have '
lime after time gone on record in favor
of self-government. Now, please, who
do you mean? Do not dodge.

The Valdei News, the pioneer paper
of the westward metropolis, has began
the publication of a daily newspaper,
occupying the morning field. It pub
lishes the telegraphic dispatches and
all the !ooal news. A. W. Hochford,
formerly of Skagway who founded the
News, is the editor and publisher. The
record of the Weekly News is a guaran
tee that the Daily News will succeed.
It is one of the best papers in A">aska,
and it has always been true to 'he
Alaskan people.
An amendment has been offered to
the legislative appropriation bill pro
Tiding that the public printer must
follow the spelling of English words
as they appear in Webster's dictionary.
It is a blow at the president's reformed
spelling order. The mstter will be
passed upon by congress.
A constitutional amendment provid
ing for six-year term for the president
and disqalifying any one from holding
more th?n one term has been introduced
in the senate by Senator Cullom, of
Illinois. It is receiving strong support.
The return of the Georgia to the
Juneau-Skagway mail route, the prom
lae that the Ramonia will succeed the
Humboldt, and the completion of the
repairs to the Hegg relieves the mail
situation very materially.
Seattle expects to gain 30,000 inhab
itants from the suburban towns which
were carried by annexationists at the
elections early this month.
