HE'S THE OTHER JONES.

The reelection OF Hon. Mr. Jones was
wise. His experience in the house. his
standing already gained and his lessons in
craftsmanship already learned render him
far more useful az our representative than
ne could possibly have been had this been
his first term OF service. Mr.. Cushman.
his associate. will doubtless be an apt
scholar ard a valuable colleague, and as
far as is possible in the first term OF serv-
Ice in congress serve the interests OF his
state.-Orting Oracle.
Even an oracle may be misguided, for
1t is evident that somebody has been de-
which is obviously labor,ng under the
impression that Wheat Chart Jones has
been reelected. We hasten to set ii
right The misapprehension no doubt
resulted from the fact that there was
too much Jones mixed up with the re-
cent campaign. In this Wheat Chart
VIII no doubt agree with US. The Post
Intelligencer assures the Oracle that
there is more and a greater variety Of
differences between Yakima Jones and
Wheat Chart Jones than their names
would indicate
In the first place there will be differ
ence Of 5000 year in the matter of sal
AIRY in favor OF Yakima after March
next. Again. Yakima doesn't know a
thing about the price of wheat affecting
the price of silver or vice versa. In fact.
politically speaking he doesn't believe a
thing that Wheat Chart believes and we
do not think he need to in order 10
make a good representative
The Oracle and the state will find
Yakima Jones voting for sound money
every time and doing all he can to aid
President Mckinley in carrying out his
peace policy and spreading the Ameri-
can flag over the Pacific ocean. We
fear that if Wheat Chart Jones had
been reelected. we would have found
him opposing all these things which the
people of this state so greatly desire
that they voted by large majority to
send the inexperienced Yakima Jones To
Washington to attend to their affairs.
and permit the experienced Mr. Wheat
Chart Jones to remain at home and at
tend to his own affairs.
We trust that we have made it clear
To our contemporary that Mr.. w. T..
Jones, of Yakima county, this state was
recently elected 10 congress over Mr.. w.
{. Jones. of Spokane county, the present
incumbent, by large majority, and the
people knew what they were doing when

Why the Democracy Feels Good.

The Democratic press of the state Of
Washington is extracting much comfort
from the recent electon-not because of
any Democrats victories. but because II
means the death-knell of fusion There is
now hope for the rehabilitation of the party
in that state. and although it may not at

nent Of the Republican organization, it VIII

LAWS FOR ALASKA.

David Starr Jordan has not In the
least exaggerated the disabilities under
which the people Of Alaska suffer. The
laws and Institutions are no more ad-
vanced. although IL has become an i'm
portant possession, than when Alaska
was a wild waste with few Indian VII
lagos. and whose only industry was seal
fshing-and that in the hands OF a cor
poration which had no interest what
ever In the territory except 10 carry
away all that made IT valuable.
The next session OF congress should
witness the passage Of a bill comforting
a SYSTEM OF government or Of an en-
abling act which shall empower the
existing authorities to provide laws for
themselves.
II is an impossible law. utterly map
plicabie to the conditions. 1t was in
tended 10 protect Indians and not to
interfere with American citizens. 1t is
a law which has no right to exist i'm OPP
position to the wishes of the mass of the
people AS II does exist. il offers con-
slant temptation TO evasion, both be-
cause that evasion is condoned by the
people at large and because IL is
source OF profit.
The only provision made for the edu-
cation Of SSildren in Alaska is based
upon the idea that they are all Of In
dian descent There are no means of
Incorporating cities. and ONLY the crud-
est opportunities for raising the money
by which local improvements even Of
a sanitary character, can be made.
There is difference of opinion as to
whether the monopoly In seal fishing
should be continued, and, indeed
salmon fishing The justification for al
lowing the monopoly Is that the gov
eminent secures lis revenue at a far less
cost than would be involved if it should
undertake to collect tribute by the or
binary means. the ports and populated
places being so far apart and the wild
country between them afIording so
many chances for evasion. Another rea-
son why a monopoly might work 10 ad-
vantage is that the owners are inter
ested I'm preserving a future supply;
whereas. the casual fisher has no
concern beyond the volume Of the years
catch. The result of this tendency has
been to almost destroy the seal herd
with a waste of life which has been al
most Infamous. The vested rights In
these industries are yet very unimpor-
tant and inchoate: and il would be a
good time 10 make such regulations as
would preserve the right OF the govern
ment 10 grant special privileges
The article In the Atlantic Monthly by
Or. Jorcion very clearly points out the
unsatisfactory conditions in Alaska.
and his contribution to the appeals To
congress for relief win be very potent.

WILL THE SENATE RATiFf THE
TREATY.

The Democratic and Independent
press of the East are practically nnani-
mous in their opposition tn the anne1a-
ton Of the Philippines. and have been
discussing the likelihood ~ a treaty pro
visiing for the cessiun of those islands 10
the United States being defeated in the
senate. Many of them prnfsss To believe
that the administration Will be unable
10 secure the two thirds vote In that
body needed to ratify the treaty. Ia
support of this opinion they cite the fact
that more than one-third of the MEM
beers Of the present senate have ex-
pressed themselves as opposed Ia the
retention of the Philippines and their
belief is that the changes in membership
next March will not alter the proportion
opposed to such a treaty.
II Is true that a number of senators
have declared that they are opposed to
the acquisition IF territory in the ORR
they vote If a treaty providing for the
cession az the Philippines to the United
action? There will be a number Of inn
portant questions 10 be decided aside
from the mere acceptance OF rejection Of
the treaty.
The United States is practically at
war with Spain at the present moment.
and will be until permanent treaty of
peace is agreed upon and formally
signed by the two nations. AT present
hostilities are suspended under the
terms Of the protocol. should the peace
commission agree upon the terms of a
treaty which included the eession of the
Philippines by Spain TO the United
States, what position would We be In If
the senate refused 10 ratify the treaty +,
The antl-annexation press has not
thus far extended Its discussion to In
ciude this phase Of the situation. The
probabilities are that any treaty ~
peace agreed upon by the United states
commissioners viii be ratified by the
sesate. Individual opinions will have Ia
