THE INDEPENDENT TICKET
The independent convention last |
night raised no issues for the municlpa I
campaign beyond g iving the p?ople
more names from which to select coun
cilman and a school director. It adopt
ed no platform and made no objections
to the conduct of the city's affairs. In
fact, unless something further should
be developed, it has left the campaign
meaningless beyond that of the personal
fitness of the candidates and the fact
that if members of the present council
shall be defeated it could, possibly, be
construed as an implied rebuke for those
whom the convention did not have the
hardihood to condemn openly. They
presented some good men for office but
no reason why a policy, admittedly
wise, should cot be continued in the
hands of those who have proven their
honesty and capacity.
Yet, as pacific as it was the inde
pendent convention was worth while.
The very fact that it was called ha?
given every man another opportunity
to have his say. That it was not med
to condemn those in office or their ad
ministration of the city does not de
tract from the merit of the action of
those who provided it. The result has
shown many people that there is little
about the city's affairs that can be con
demned.
Juneau's new magaz'ne. the Alaska
Monthly says it "proposes to be the
* ishnu of a new avatar in Alaska pub
? ncations.'' Wlrch meaneth? That
the new month'y is the miracle making
Preserver which, discovering some
thing very wrong among A'askan j ubli
set things aright? Truly, a noble pur
pose and may it be as nobly accomplish
ed: But let us hope that the conception 1
and mission of this maifestation of the
supreme god of the trlmurti endeth
there rather than that the close of the J
Kali is really nigh and the Kalki-ava
tara upon us for that last great day.
But say, Vish, how were Brahma and
Siva when you left for earth?
The first number of the A'aska Mon
thly. a new illustrated magazine, p;b
lished at Juneau by ihe Alaska Monthly
Co., is at hand. It is a neat magazine,
containining several interesting articles
in addition to a great deal of informa
tion repulished from the dally press
Its April number, the first, devotes de
partments to agriculture, fisheries, i
mining, rai'roads and marine. It con
tains illustrations of Skagway (the
frontispiece), Juneau, Seward, some
Skagway grown vegitables aud other
interesting objects. It claims to be
the only monthly magazine published
in Alaska.
The hanging of a young man at Ed
monton for the murder o a man whom
it has been discovered is not dead will
be held up ai a reason why none of the
protection which the law has thrown
around human life *in our criminal
courts should be removed. . One of the
tenets of the English common law is
that it were better than 100 guilty men
should escape than that one who is
guiltless should be punished The dis
covery that one innocent man has been
deprived of his life will have a tendency
to cause much liberality in keeping the
count on the 100 guilty ones to go uc
whipped of justice.
The Daily Alaskan yesterday includ
ed, on what was regarded as the very
best authority, the name of Judge I. j
N- Wiltoxen as among those who were I
behind the movement for the indepen
dent municipO ticket. It was a mis
take. Judge Wilcoxen has taken no
part in the campaign at all. He was
not present at either convention. How
ever, the ''charge" was not a tot I
serious one, as had it been true the
judge would not have been without
good associates, and he would hare
been exercising one of the inalienable
rights of his American citizenship.

Railroad From Orca to Cop
per Country
Late Puget sound papers contain long ! [
accounts of a proposed railroad from
Orca, on Cordova bay, Prince William
sound, up the Copper river to the cop
per belt there and finally to the Yukon
river. Behind the movement, it is said,
are S. H. Graves president of the White
Pass, Close Brothers, who financed the
White Pass and who are stockholders
in it, M. J. Heney, the White Pass con
tractor, and others. It is claimed that
J. P. Rogers, until two weeks ago
superintendent of the White Pass, will
be connected with the company in an j
afficial capacity.
It is said theFarallon and theJeannie
have been chartered to carry meterial
and men to begin operations.
Oiher advice received at Skagway
through what thould be good author!- j
ty set June 1st as the date upon which |
actual work on the ground will begin.
The Company will compete with the
Rosene company from Valdez accord

ports have it that the two combinations
have consolidated,

The citizens of Juneau, Douglas and

the principal event of which will be a !
reception at the immense Treadwell 1
Club.
An invitation has been ext nded to j
Col. Woodbury and the officers of the
