citizen went into the county COM
missioners' court room and was
surprised to see Joe Casstarlo,
Thad Smith and Bryan Callaghan
engaged in an apparently very
confidential conversation. "Well

surprises me. thought Bryan and
the other two were deadly, politi-
cal enemies and here they are talk
ing politics and apparently making
up combination ticket" Talking
politics." remarked DR.. Lindner;
''who's talking politics." and then,
winking the other eye, he added,
"those gentlemen are not talking
politics, they are talking religion
and if you wait few minutes
you'll see Thad lead in prayer for
the conversion of the adverse
voter"

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
CBY Col. JAS. p. NEwCoMB.I

BY COL. JAS. I. NEWCOMB.I
The .unanimity OF taxpayers in
favor of the sewer proposition has
rather surprised the croakers. Our
city has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by this public en-
terprise.
The skies brighten when our city
comes forward and proposes to
march in the van of modern COM
munities.
Law abiding, peacable, patient,
our people never fly into furious
passion, or engage in senseless OBJ
struction to trade and commerce.
They have faith in the future and
confidence in the continued pros.
perity of the old town.
Our laboring men only ask fair
play and the opportunity to earn
their daily bread. To do this our
city must go forward. No propo-
sition ever made will do more to
promote the growth of the city
equal to sewerage; building hith-
erto impossible can be built. The
wealthy will be encouraged to build
elegant dwellings giving work to
skilled labor.
San Antonio will be a city Of
homes as we'll as a city Of mer-
chants, a city of resort for the
stranger, the MEGA Of the sick and
afflicted.
1t is the multitudinous stranger
that makes the life of cities; ira
vel to our city has fallen off; it
must be reused.
The tourist hotel will be more
logical when our hotel proprietors
can boast of full houses. No city
in the state has better kept hotels
than San Antonio today; comfort
able, clean, and excellent tables.
All they sigh for is the old time
rush.

THE PROGRESS OF ALASKA.

Gov. sheakfey Says 1t Prospers, but
Needs No Territorial Government.
Gov. James Sheakley. of Alaska, arrived
in the city yesterday by the steamer
Mexico from Sitka, and will leave for
Washington City today. The governor
was seen by PosT-IsTELLIeEScER repre-
sentative a. the Northern hotel last night.
and said:
my trip is made for health and business
aud | expect to be absent about two
months Alaska is in very prosperous
condition and / think has great future,
especially in regard 10 her mining indus
tries. The hard times prevalent In this
country for long time past were not felt
in Alaska, and the only indication we had
of il was during the strike. when some
machinery We needed very badly was de-
layed.
mining is and will be the leading bust
ness Of Alaska for years TO come. Our
mines consist of large bodies of low grade
ore that can be worked with profit when
worked in large quantities, although We
have recently discovered some large
veins of free milling and higher
grade ore. The great drawback Is
that the majority of the ore has to
go through the chlorination process.
Then, again. the character of the
country makes il slow for development, as
other underbrush. After the mill is once
erected and the mine sunk it is not diff
cult to run the entire year. Last year the
output from our mines was over 81, OO0, 900,
of which amount about half million
came from the Yukon country. This sec
ton is very rich, but il is hard to get
start up there, as the ground has to be all
thawed out in order to get pick or shovel
into IT. Owing to these hardships don't
think 1t good country for settlers TO rush
TO, unless they have capital.
''The people don't want a territorial
form of government, as there are SO few
people in com parison to the extent of ter
ritory. territorial organization brings
taxation and the business OF the country
is not sufficiently developed, and besides
Il ii was obtained We would have
to tax mining plants, and thus
discourage mining enterprises. As it is,
we now have no taxes to pay and the
country is in a dourishing condition.
Mr.. Thomas NOVEL; is now IN Washing
ton City on the matter of securing dele
gate from Alaska to congress, but l don't
think he will be successful, as il has been
tried several times before without success.
There Is only one way TO get delegate on
the floor of congress, and that Is by an
election by the people, and you can't
have an election without territorial
form Of government"
The governor would not say much on
the question of high license on whisky,
but admitted that large amount was
annually smuggled into the country. He
has dealt fully with the question in his
biennial report. which is now ready for
distribution.
