corruptly used to secure their own

We recognize the Democratic as
the only Silver party in the Nation,
and upon whose success in 1900 de-
pends the reestabishment of silver
to its former place in the monetary
system of the Republic. We regard
all local political organizations, pro-
Tossing to favor bimetallit m. as not
only useless, but absolutely obstruct-
i've to the cause they pretend to fos-
ter. The so.called Silver party of
Nevada is especially detrimental to
the silver interest. Its State Admin
istration III the last few years has
been replete with scandals which are
a disgrace to the Commonwealth.
It's continued existence is an insult
to the great Silver party of the Ma
ton which i'll 1896 poIled nearly six
millions of votes for the bi-metallic
couse, and it's death would be mourn
ed only by few Office seekers who
have maintained it in the hope Of be-
ing elected to positions which they
could not obtain from any other
party in the State.
"e favor the election of United
States Senators by the people in
stead of Legislatures. We believe
that Nevada has suffered more from
the present system than any other
State in the Union and we most earn
estly demand such change as will, TO
partial extent at least. prevent the
gross frauds and corruption as has
and which is now prevailing in our
Senatorial elections.
The democratic party of Nevada is
in favor of utilizing and developing
the natural resources Of the State;
We, therefore advocate policy of

Immigration for the development of

we favCr liberal legislation and the

purposes.
We demand that our National Gov
ernment hold possession OF the Phil
ippine Islands. so that the products
and trade Of these islands may be
brought to our shores, as such pol

commercial advantages to the Paci-
fic Coast.

The Democrats of Nevada In Con-

We endorse every line, word and

the Democratic National Convention
at Chicago in 1895, with particular
emphasis upon the resolution adyo.

Of both gold and silver and without

We glory in the achievements Of
the Army and Navy, in the late war
with Spain and we commend the
Democratic Congressman in their
course upon the prosecution Of the
war. as patriotic, statesmanlike and
compatible with the honor and dig
nifty OF our nation.
We agr:e with Senator Teller, an
ardent Protectionest, that the DINGHY
law was formulated and passed. not

for the purpose of revenue for the
government, but exclusively in tho in
terest Of the monopolies and trusts,
which furnished the corruption money

shame and humiliation that we point
to the fact that this measure 80 dis

passed by the aid of our Senators
without which it could never have
become a law.
We demand Home Rule for the

and have q survey made by a competent man that will prove satisfactory to all property hold CTS. The work should be con- ducted Tn such a manner that every property owner can have free access to the records and from time to time as it progress es, recommend changes and ap- prove or disapprove the work. Owing to the season of the year when traffic on the Stikeen river, either by water or ice, is at a standstill, for the ensuing two months business is likely to be quiet, and it is in these quiet days when we have a little time to spare from business that we should labor most assiduously for our interests. The citizens of Wrangel look to the Chamber of Commerce to give these mat ters the great consideration they deserve, without delay.

Now. that the Townsite Com missioners have been appointed by the Government, and will in a few days be in Wrangel, it is time that the Chamber of Com merce, as the representative body of the citizens and business in terests of our town, should begin to look about for a suitable man for the office of trustee. When titles are obtainable for property it must of necessity greatly en- nance it's value, giving every man as it does, an opportunity to purchase something he can say, is his own, without having to squat upon it in fear and trem- bling that while down town to purchase a loaf of bread or a beef steak, some chap who cares nothing for the welfare of the town or it's people, but is only desirous of grabbing what he is not justly entitled to, will jump his lot. The good citizens of Wrangel will recall a few such experiences last spring, when only the stern hand of the law prevented serious complications. It would be we'll at the same time for the Chamber of Commerce to consider also the matter of a proper survey. The work done last spring was not only highly unsatisfactory, but should it be adopted, it would then have to be paid for. It would therefore seem that since we are compelled to pay for the work eventually, it would be far better to wipe out the past, begin everything anew,

If the parties owning the pro- perty joining Hunts grocery on the west and that on the west of Hirsh's store would put down a walk, Front street would have a walk ten feet wide from end to end. These two pieces of walk are needed badly and should be put down at once by the parties owning the porperty.
Stikeen River journal., 1898-11-12

A walk over Wrangel will con vince anyone that we are on the up- grade. With less than a half dozen exceptions, it can truth fully be said, that there is not a house in our town that cannot be reached with a good, safe and substantial sidewalk. Can as much be said of any other town in Alaska?

A verdict of 6 cents damages in favor of young woman who refused to wear tights on the New York stage, and was discharged by the manager, seems to show that juries incline to the opinion that wearing tights is part of the theatrical business, and that young woman who object to that sort of a custome ought to find some other occupation. That is the remorseless logic of the situ- ation.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 29th. The president has issued the fol lowing Thanksgiving proclama- ton:
 By the president of the Unit ed States-A proclamation: The approaching November brings to mind the customs of our ancest- ors, hallowed by time and rooted in our most sacred traditions, of giving thanks to Alright God for all the blessings He has vouchsafed to us during the past ed year. Few years in our hist ory have afforded such cause for thanksgiving as this. We have been blessed by abundant har- vests, our trade and commerce have been wonderfully increased, our public credits have been i'm proved and strengthened, all sections of our country have been brought together and knitted in, to a closer bond of national pur- pose and unity.
 "The skies have been for a time darkened by the cloud of war, but as we were compelled to take up the sword in the cause of humanity, we are permitted to rejoice that the conflict has been of brief duration and the losses we have had to mourn, though grevious and important, have been so few, considering the great results accomplished, as to inspire us with gratitude and praise to the Lord of Hosts. We may laud and magnify His holy name that the cessation of hos tilities came so soon as to spare both sides the countless sorrows and disasters that attend pro- tracted war
 "I do, therefore, invite all my fellow citizens, as we'll those at home as those who may be at sea or soiourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe Thursday, the 24th day of Nov ember, as day of national thanksgiving, to come together in their sevearl places of wor- ship for service of prsise and thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings of the year, the mildness of the seasons and the fruitfulness of the soil; for the continued prosperity of the people; for the devotion and valor of our countrymen; for the glory and valOr of our victory and hope of a righteous peace and to pray that the divine guid- ance which has brought us here. tofore to safety and honor may be graciously continued to the years to come.

TIE nArE JOHN MUBnAnD CURTIS.

MT. John Hubbard Curtis. whose sud- den death at Lexington, Mass, on Thursday has already received notice in this paper, was born June 9, 1865, in Hartford, Conn. He fitted for college at the Hillhouse High school and gradu- ated at Yale in 1887 with high honors, Through his whole college course his record was one of fine scholarship, and he was speaker at the junior exhibi- ton, He engaged in graduate work in English literature and philosophy for two years, and meanwhile taught one year in the Hopkins Grammar school. In September, 1890, he took charge Of the English and German in the uni versity school at Cleveland, O. Toward the end of the school year a severe att tack of pneumonia and grip compelled him to resign his position and seek the benefit of long sea voyage. He re- turned from this trip around the world much improved, but he never perma- nently regained his health. His trouble, originally pulmonary, developed into weak condition of the general system. He had spent nearly four years in Cal ifornia and had done everything that the best medical advice could suggest, but he had not been able to engage in consecutive work. The New Haven eli mate had been particularly unsuited to him, and he had recently contemplated returning to the west. When he went last Monday to Lexington he intended to make only a temporary stay there, and wrote a cheerful letter 10 his moth- CT two days after his arrival.
 From the beginning of his illness he had shown great courage and determin- ation to get we'll, and his strong will power had kept him from the invali9s usual weakness of talking of himself. His reserve In speaking of himself de- ceived all ordinary acquaintances as to his condition, and few realized how weak he really was His literary abili- ty was of high order, but his extreme modesty kept him from putting himself before the public as writer. His spirit was rarely appreciative of all that was loveable and worthy, and his mind was ever set to meet life's experiences of good or i'll like a man and Christian. We quote the words of one of his friends in saying Such brilliant prom ise and fine achievement, followed by seem to. me to indicate an open and abundant entrance into his Masters kingdom, while they make his loss the greater to those, and they are many, who loved and honored him."
