Little crimpy this morning. Ther
?WiUr got down to 27 above lero.
Hut cold weather is invigorating
It requirw cold weather to pro
duce people of consequence The
tropical nations have never amount
?>?1 to anything in the world's pro
srvss We hare noitced that it is
the men who have had to crawl out
of M on a cold morning and thaw
out the pump and hustle In the
coal that have become great. Of
course it requires something besides
that If oustling in coal would
make one great, the writer of this
would be a Newton.
The first issue of the Alaska
Daily K mptre, published by Major
J F A Strong at Juneau, has ar
rived Kditor Strong is a IVtuo
crat to the core but announces that
his publication is going to be in
dependent. He reserves the right
to express himself in an untrammel
ed manner both for or against any
one or anything that !>*? considers
will affect Alaska for good or evil.
We do not know that there was
any crying need for another news
paper in Juneau, but the individual
ity of Mr Strong is almost a guar
antee of swccoss for the Umpire
He is without doubt the ablest edi
torial writer in 4he north and his
experiences in various parts of Al
aska has 'familiarized him m it h as
much north land lore as can be
<~rowd?*d into one man's head And
then the Majah is built on classical
lines He has the required bulg
ing brow. the Nestor-like flowing
locks ai-d t votee as melodious as
Israfel
W'ho'n da r nation's Israfel?
Kven those ? ho are strongly op
posed to cit itensh p for any Indian,
even those who are not in any way
interested in them as members of
the same human family, even those
who are of the opinion that the
sooner the* die off the better, must
admit that ihere are some things
which make it difficult to harmon
lie the status in which the law has
placed him with American ideas
along this line.
It ??s Abraham Lincoln who
said that no man was wise enough
to govern another without the oth
ers consent. It was the Declaration
of Independence which said that
there should be no taxation without
representation. It is an admission
all of us are forced to make that
in Alaska we are governing "that
other" without his consent, and we
do tax him without representation.
And yet the large number of Ameri
can citiiens in this territory who
are opposed to Indian cititenship
for any Indian, do believe in what
Lincoln said and what the Declar
ation of Independence said.
There is a convincing argument
for the argument that the Indian Is
as well fitted for cititenship as
some of the aliens whom we have
admitted and are admitting. That
answer is that our standards for
citizenship are too low already, and
that if we are to lay down the bars
for more citiser.s, the standard
should be raised, and it is a poor
claim to citisenship that the claim
ant is as good as the worst which
may be found in the great body of
American voters.
Hut to make a convincing argu
ment that the refusal to give an op
portunity to men born on American
soil of * hatever color an opportun
ity to prove that they are qualified
to become citiiens, is consistent
with American ideals, Is fraught
with considerable difficulty. But
there is an urgent necessity that,
it the right to citisenship is to he
refused all Indians who speak Eng
lish and who hare as much edu
cation as <he average workiugnian.
if such exis\ that such an argument
should be prepared, for the Indians
*ho have been educated in the gov
ernment schools undoubtedly intend
to present the question to congress,
and in the language of Grover Cleve
land. It is a condition and not a
theory which confronts us. ? Juneau

THE MASTERY OF THE PANAMA
CANAL TRADE AGAINST EUROPE.
I looked into the ports, the man

cities of En rope on mv recent visit
there, and I am convinced that un
less the people of the United States
will wake up thev will FIND
THE EUROPEANS READY TO
ASSUME THE LEAD IX

ERS MUST WAKE UP.
AND THAT SPEEDILY.
IF THEY ARE TO HOLD
turers arc getting readv on ?n
cnonnous *cale everywhere.
It is important to say, however,
that there is a certain element of
American business which is right
? >n its toes and keeping alive for
the opening of the canal, but the
general tield of Europe is FAR
AHEAD OF TIIE UNITED
STATES and ahead of South
America as a whole.
Not only are the business men,
shippers, exporters and shipbuild
ers of Europe humming with this
activity, but the GOVERN
MEXTS OF EUROPE ARE DO
IXG TIIE SAME THING.
