Showing Their Hand.

A Mississippi democrat has intro duced a resolution in the lower house that expresses the intention of the national party on the Philippine question. It declares the intention and purpose to recognize the inde- pendence of the Philippines and with draw our land and naval forces, provi- ded the independent government agrees to refund S2O,OOO,OOO paid by the United States to Spain, to give us suit able naval and coaling stations and grant in perpetuity free access to their ports.
 Another section pledges our friendly assistance and also pledges against for eien interference or aggression for ten years during which foreign affairs of the islands are to be under American control.
 True to the traditions of the past the poor old democratic party will beat itself months before the election.

CHRISTMAS.

Next Monday is Christmas day and the whole civilized world will celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Christ. Whether He be regarded as divine be- ing or simply good teacher and phi. losopher, one thing is certain, no living man ever exerted so much influence for good as did Christ. Unbelievers in the divine attributes of Christ refer to Confucius as a worthy predecessor who was born $50 years B. C., in what was then the Kingdom of Lu, China. Con- sidering the age in which he was born and his Chinese parentage he was truly great philosopher and learned and good man. While his teachings were in many respects all that could be desired, yet these teachings and the in- tiuence he possessed, reached no fur ther than the great walls that in pavt surrounded the Chinese Empire.
 Mohammed, the founder of the al- legged religion that bears his name, was born at Mecca five and half centuries after the birth of Christ. The Koran was his greatest work and abounded with good moral teachings, but, like the teachings of Confucius, it has never even brought civilization to the people who worship at it's shrine.
 How very different with the teach ings of Christ. Since His crucifXion, His teachings have gone steadily for ward, sweeping aside the teachings of these alleged rivals wherever they come in contact. We may try to believe that Christ was only good man, but truly there was a power behind Him that exerted force that has not before or since His death wrought such change among the peoples of the earth. The better, the stronger argument is in favor of Christ's divinity. If His own words do not prove it, it seems to us His works and the perpetuation of His teachings do.

CAPE YORK APPOINTMENT.
A. G. Mcbride Made Court Commissioner For That District.

| That District.
 A. G. Mcbride, assistant prosecuting attorney of King county during J. F. MiIler's two-term administration of that office, and now editor of the Doug las Island News, has been appointed United States court commissioner for Cape York, Alaska, by Judge Johnson.
 The appointment was made about ten days ago, though no public an nouncement appears to have been made of the fact up to the time G. B. Swine hart, the pioneer Alaskan newspaper man, to whom Judge Johnson told the news, sailed for Seattle on the Al-Ki.
 Owing to the fact that the Cape York district is believed by many to be a rival of the celebrated Cape Nome camp, the office may prove as lu- crative and important as the Nome com missionership, which was rendered ex- Gov. McGraw short time ago by the judge. Indeed, some of the men who returned from Cape York last fall do not hesitate to declare that it is as rich as the older district.
 Mir. Mcbride lived in Seattle six or eight years prior to his removal to AL aska. He first located, after going north, at Fort Wrangel, but after a years residence there he moved to Douglas City, the metropolis of Doug las Island, on which is also located the celebrated Treadwell mine.-P.-I.

In all respects she is the finest boat to travel on that sails into Alaska.
