POLITICS IN THE ELEVENTH.
What Judge Sweat Has to Say About
Congressional Candidates.

Brunswick, Ca, Dec. 21.-In response to
a request from the Morning News corre-
spondent for an interview on certain lines,
Hon. j. L. Sweat of Waycross, judge of
the Brunswick circuit, gave out the fol-
lowing remarks for publication. He stated
that he had never announced privately
or publicly whether or not he would be
in the congressional race from the Elev-
enth district next year, nor what his at
titude toward others would be. Con
temptible Efforts said he, which, if
the occasion offered, the people would re-
buke, had been made to prevent his can
didacy, and If there was ever any pur-
pose on my part to run, such purpose
would only be increased thereby. In any
event." continued Judge Sweat, there is
no intention on my part to resign from
the bench to enter into a scramble for
congress. III" said he, the people saw
fit to call him from the bench to congress
they had a right to do so, and in such
event there would be no Improperly in
responding 70 such call" He remarked
that he felt no antagonism, and had none

ways been friends and supporters of each

between us IN the future. If when the

candidacy would doubtless be announced

in these dispatches, he stated that All he
knew concerning it was what he had seen
IN the newspapers. But, "as a bimetal-
list and with his popularity nd rela ton

Burch carry the counties of his immediate

An
Minister Thurston Thinks the Ha-

Sc..IIsns ssa.l, to Come Cnuer.
New York, Jan. 7.-Laurin A. Thurston,
Hawaiian minister to the United States,
accompanied by Mrs. Thurston, was a
passenger on the Cunard line steamer
Aurlnia which arrived from Liverpool to-
day. Mr.. Thurston stated his trip abroad
had no political significance whatever:
He went to Portugal at the request of
his government to reinaugurate The i'm
portation of Portuguese labor by the Ha-
waiian republic. They make good labor
ers, and the planters prefer mixed crews
on their plantations as they are less Ia
Bile TO make trouble than those all of one
nationality When the sugar industry be
pan to decline, the importation of labor
ers was stopped. About 400 Portuguese
will soon leave for Hawaii.

ment on President ClevelandS letter, re
1narkfng that it would be bad taste on
MS part to comment on words or actions
Of the official head of a country TO which
i he is an ambassador. He said he did not

ALAsKA's GOVERNOR.
In Washington, Does Not Approve of
the Territorial Plan.

Washington. Jan. 7.-Governor Shiedly,
of Alaska, was at the capitol today dis
cussing the needs of his territory with
members of Congress.
Our people do not favor the territorial
plans that are proposed for our govern
ment," said he. They are drawn by
people who do not understand our con-
dition. Territorial government involves
elections and taxes. 1t would be irnpos-
sible to hold elections and we would not
get the returns in for a year afterwards.
The taxation is inpracticable as proposed.
The brunt would fall on our mining in
terests, most of the people being squat
tiers. Alaska has had no legislation since
the act of 1884, and it is well for her that
the most of that proposed has failed
There should be authority for the organ
izaJion of municipal governments and the
governor should be empowered to appoint
justices of the peace and constables for
remote sections, otherwise we are doing
well under existing laws"
