The New Governor of Alaska.
Chicago News.


Mr.. A. p Swinford, the newly APP
pointed Governor Of Alaska, is not poet
but he is a Michigan editor. He does not
knew a chorrambic ballade from pen
tameter idyllic, but he has penned tones
of scholarly and thoughtful editorials on
the peach crop, and can tell you to a
fraction how many shingles and how
much sawdust can be got out of pine
log measuring 40 feet in length and five
feet in circumference. He is Just the
man to send to Alaska. In less than
three months he will have the biggest
saw mill and the finest peach orchard in
that hyperborean Territory. A man ca
pable of such practical accomplishments
is of much more value to our diplomatic
service than would be a man who spent
his time lolling around on beetling ice
bergs and penning sonnets to the aurora
borealis or iambic triolets to the dreamy
fiipflop of the suceulent seal.

per, ask the editor to read out aloud to
you He has plenty of time, and will be
grateful to you for the chance so quit his
work and entertain you. If you want
to look over the cash book, make the
editor go and get it for you.
Never ask for a sample copy, but take
half dozen.
Never spit tobacco juice on the
floor; always spit on the exchanges or
on the walls, otherwise the editor will
think you are not accustomed to a news
paper office. Make the editor feel that
his presence does not annoy you.
Never ask for any old exchanges. just
help yourself to the unopened ones for
they always contain much later news
than those that have been opened.
Ask the editor, if you are a perfect
stranger to him, to supply you with a
duplicate key to his post-office box, so
you can get his papers regularly. If he
is a gentleman he viii furnish you with
duplicate key without your asking, but
some editors are not gentlemen.

when this handful of Russian troops was
saved, and the general, severely wound
