IT is a noteworthy fact that such a distinguished party as that which recently visited our city on board the U. $. steamer McColloch should coma and go without expressing the slightest desire to meet the "King" of Wrangel. Their fail. ure to meet the "King' was no doubt caused by their desire not to mar the pleasures of their trip or carry away any unpleasant memories of our fair city al l the great Slilleen River. Oar citizens one and all are to be congratulated on the fact that they were spared the mortitica- tion which such a meeting would have entailed.

day when deliverance comes, as it will come, and come soon when Fred Page -Tustin walks the steamers plank to leave our city forever will be a welcome day, and one which will be uni versally celebrated. The day should be set aside as a holiday a day of rejoicing-and the anniversary of that day should be commemorated in way second only to the Fourth of July.

of a new epoch in American his tory. The original thirteen col enies along the Atlantic coast were like an acorn planted in fertile soil. They have grown and spread out until to day after an existence of only one hun dred and twenty three years they cover wide expanse of territ- ory, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and across the Pacific to the Philippine Islands which lie along the coast of Asia. Between the Philippine Islands and the coast of North America our government has acquired stepping stones in the way of is- lands which are now of great value, and will become more val
 ueable in the future. The island of Guam and the islands of Flaw ali were acquired during the war with Spain. The former by con. quest, and the latter by peaceful annexation. These events recur to the people of the United States at this time and give them addi- tional grounds for rejoicing.

THERE remains no doubt but what there will be d general "housecleaning" of officials in Wrangel appointed from the state of Oregon. Their places will be taken by others appoint
 ed, in part, from among the peo- pie of Alaska, and in part from among the better class of elig- able citizens of the state of Wash ingtOn. Already the notorious Joseph A. Arment, formerally deputy collector at Wrangel, is gone. Arment entered on the career whichbrought about his downfall immediately after he assumed the duties of deputy collector of customs at Wrangel. He made it a practice to respect the rights of none, but ride rough sl cd ovcr all. He tried to secure cOntroll of the local press in order to pre- vent an exposure of his cOrrup- tion. It was then, in the venac- ular of the street, "He bit off more than he could chew" The citizens of Wrangel could not bear the idea of Editor Arment" and they came to the rescue by placing this property beyond his reach. Mr. Arment met his Waterloo, and he richly deserv- ed it. His successor will be named by J. w. Ivey, Collector of Customs for the District of Alaska; and we predict that the appolntee will be a republican and friend of Senator Foster of Washington. The next man to go will be Fred Page Tustin whose place will in all probabil
 ity, be taken by a local man. This will be a step in the right direction. It will mark the be- ginning of home rule for Alaska, which is the only just rule and tho only ono which will insure an honest administration of the laws enacted in Alaska.

SATURDAY. JULY g 1899.

THERE seems to be an idea among certain of our merchants ,kat they can conduct business without first obtaining a license so to do from the Clerk of the District Court. The law recent ly passed by Congress and ap- proved March 3rd, 1899, makes such an act a miSdemeanOr and prescrlbes punishment. All persons who openly defy the law are playing with the fire and will get burned.

KETCHIKAN, our fair sister on the south, is still attracting a great deal of attention. A large number of citizens are daily ar irving from below with view of making investments in South eastern Alaska. In the mean time Wrangel is not without champions, and the increased
 number of prOspectors who are arriving on every steamer is wit ness of the fact that Southeast ern Alaska is fast coming to the front as great mining country.

As the time draws near when the people of Wrangel will be forever rid of the nonentity now
 occupying the position of United States Commissioner at this
 place, it seems almost impossi- ble to restrain our feelings of joy. We have for the past eight months been bowed down in shame under the tyrannical rule of corrupt self appointed King
 who, not satisfied with robbing the office of Commissioner of every vestige of dig nifty which the position should carry, has dragged his good @ name in the mire of drunkenness and debauch- cry. The sight of man, who holds judicial position and pre- sumes to sit in judgement over his fellow man, appearing on the streets in a condition of beastlv intOXication is one which is bound to fill all citizens with d feeling of utter disgust; and the

WRANGEL was not without a grand Fourth of July celebra- tiOn, even in view of the fact that the business conditions are not as good as they have been in former times. There was at one time some doubt about the abil- ity of the committee to excite enthusiasm enough to make a celebration possible, but the spirit of patriotism prevailed and the programme was carried out in a manner which reflected great credit to Wrangel and to the day. It is but a short year since the country was thrown in to ecstacies over the destruction
 of the Spanish fleet at Santiago, and little more than year since Admiral Dewey sailed into Man fila Bay and entirely destroyed the Spanish fleet sheltered un- der the guns of Cavite. Those events changed the map of the world and marked the beginning

THE best legal lights in Alaska consider the new law uncOnStitu- tiOnal: and advise that all money paid in under the law will be re- funded. The same legal lights admit that each days business done m violation of the law, sub jects the person so doing busin- ess to fine. The best way to do is to pay up and trust to the honesty of the courts to pass on the validity of the law at a later time.
