A GOOD SHOWING
The showing made by tbt* Skagway
city government in the statement just
isaued by the city clerk is one that is
credible in every respect. A reduction
of the net debt to the extent of $5,000
in one year is an achievement in which
those who accomplished it might with
propriety take a great deal of pride.
It is also worthy of note that this re
duction was made in spite of the fact
that we have not had a niggardly ad
ministration. The streets have been
kept in good repair and they have been
better lighted than ever before. We
have hail competent employees who
have been paid for their services and
the school board has been provided
with ample funds. This has been made
possible by good management and by a
constant care to prevent waste at any
place. ;
It is not yet two years since the con
struction of the Skagway water works
were undertaken. Since that time
more than $20,000 have been expended
upon them, schools have been main
tained and the people given an efficient
administration of municipal affairs.
Notwithstanding this the city could
pay every cent of the city's indebted
ness and have a balance in the treasury i
of nearly $1400.

The election of Thomas Cale for the
long term seems to be conceded, and
that for the short term is generally ad
mitted to be be between Gov. Swine
ford and Frank H. Waskey. And that
recalls that one thing is certain for
which all should give praise. The
people of Alaska have no use for tories
or for any one showing the least dis
position to compromise with them.
The truckling platform adopted by the
republican convention as a result of the
Shoup-tory masquerade defea'td
"Judee" Murane before he was nomi
nated and the attempt of the supporters
of "Judge" Mellen to capture the tory
vote pushed him off the same plank
that had been walked by Shoup and
Murane. There is no suspicion of tory
taint about Mr. Cale, Gov. Swineford
or Mr. Waskev. That is why the people
take to them.
The thing of supreme importance to
all the people of Alaska, including all
clasaes that are unselfishly interested
in the development of the territory, is
the principle of SELF-GOVERN
MENT? a principle that lies at the
very foundation of American ideals.
GOV. SWINEFORD IS THE EM
BODIMENT OF THAT PRINCIPLE.
He has been identiSed with the strug
gle for it for more than 20 years. His
election as a delegate from the district
would emphasize as nothing else could
possibly do the demand of the people
for it. That it is a duty to vote for
him is plain.
Let everybody vote. The question of
the greatest importance tq the people
of Skagway and vicinity at the present
moment is that of getting out the vote
neit Tuesday. EVERY QUALIFIED
VOTER BETWEEN HAINES AND
THE SUMMIT OF WHITE PASS
should cast his vote on that day. This
is not a matter to think lightly of. It
is a question of the people proving
themselves worthy of citizenship.
Major Strong was entirely too modest
in estimating the strength of Thomas
Cale in the first judicial division. He
will get more than 25 per cent, of the
votes in it. In fact he is very likely to
get a handsome plurality.
Remember this, no man can vote for
you Tuesday. If you do not perform
that duty for yourself it will go unper
formed.
Be at your residence Tuesday and vote.

A Wonderful Compound Curm Pilrg.
?c?ma. Skin Itching. Skin
Eruptions, Cuts and
Bruines
Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because so
little is required to cure. It cures piles
after years of torture. It cures obs'i
nate cases of eczema. It cuies ail skin
itching. It cures skin eruptions. It
heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra
sions without leaving a scar. It cures
permanently.
Al. Sullivan, employed in the street
department of the city, who resides on
Water street, at T.'io. Portl.-nd Oreg.,
says. "Doan's Ointment is without
any exception the best preparation on
earth for the purposes for which its use
is indicated and from my ou n experience
I know that it does all that is claimed
for it. For two years I was troubled
with the worst kind of itching and
bleeding hemorrhoids. I tried one
remedy after another and even sent .
east for a well known medicine, and was
.rested by physicians, but I gut no re
lief until I learned about Doau's Oint
ment. I procured a box ana the first i
application gave me relief such as 1 had
not eperienced for two years. I con
tinued the treatment for three weeks,
when I was completely cured, and since
then I have been free from the torment
ing affliction. Whenever I hear anyone
complain of being annoyed with piles I
never fail to tell thera what to do to get
cured. I would willingly give $20 for
a dox rather than to suffer one night
like I did before I used Doan's Oint
ment."
