here get $75 per month and boarding.
In Skaguay business is little dull
at this time, but we expect to see
business in good shape as soon as the
river opens.
Dyed is four miles from Skaguay
and is at the end of the Lynn Canyon.
This was prosperous town one year
ago, but when the railroad began
operations at Skaguay, Dyed became
a dead town, and now you can buy a
nice house for $25 and some houses as
cheap as so.
From this place we went over the
Chilcoot Pass to the Summit, dis
tance of eighteen miles. Here the
mountain is 5000 feet high. We
went through the cannon where fifty
four people lost their lives April 4,
1898. We did not find snow until we
got within four miles of the summit.
This was the hardest Ginning that |
ever did and when we reached the
top we found zero weather and snow
ing as hard as ever | saw it. One
man told us that it showed horse
blankets the day before.

JOHN SHARTzER.


Senator George L. Wellington, as
Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, will issue call for a meet
ing of that body on Wednesday, June
Z, at Raine's Hall, Baltimore.
According to the constitution of
the Republican party the committee
must meet either the first or second
week in June, the chairman being
authorized to name the day, and he
must then give ten days notice.
AT this meeting of the committee
arrangements will be made for the
primary election at which are to be
chosen delegates 20 the State con-
vention.
The talk about George r. Gather,
jr., being a candidate for governor is
pronounced by that gentleman far
cical. One of Mr.. Gathers warmest
friends said that he would not be a
candidate for any, office after Inspires
ent term expired, and that he would
retire permanently from active
politics.
Senator Wellington said the renom-
nation of Governor Lowndes was
assured. He does not apprehend any
opposition in Baltimore city, know
ing, as he did, that the local organi-
zation was friendly to him. When
asked whether he would continue as
chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, he said that would depend
upon the wishes of the committee, it
being customary to defer the selec-
ton to the head of the ticket. Be
sides, the chairman is elected by the
committee

GubernatOrial.

1t will be gratifying to the people
of Western Maryland to learn that
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes has announced
that he is a candidate for re-election.
We take it for granted that this an
nouncement will be received with Joy
by the people of the Eastern Shore,
as we of our immediate section hail it
with pride
Coy. Lowndes' administration
speaks for itself. The people raj
lied nobly around the Republican
standard in 1895 and gave us an adj
ministration for the State, the out
come of which we point to with just
pride.
Gov. Lowndes as the standard bear
er of his party in that campaign gave
the people in his every utterance
pledges of good government, and how
faithfully these pledges have been
fulfilled, the financial condition of the
State, the election law, the primary
law, the free school book law, and
many other desirable reforms, EN-
phasize the fidelity of the man who
stood before the people claiming their
suffrages.
With his past record can we doubt
what will be the course of the voter
when he stands before them claiming
another lease of power?
No stronger candidate could be put
before the people. The Republican
party would stultify itself by failing
to entrust again their standard to the
hands of the gallant cheiftain who
bore it to victory four years ago.
The Independent press, the indie
aloud for reform of abuses they had
long suffered from, who gave their
earnest efforts to secure these ends,
and realize to-day that the man they
supported had in every particular
redeemed the pledges he made them,
will again come to the front and en-
dorse one whom they have tried and
have not found wanting, one who in
the future as in the past will give
them an administration of State
affairs they can justly be proud Of
Prudence should be the watch word
of the hour. Our adversaries are on
the alert. Lessons of the past are not
thrown away by them. They are foe
men we can not afford to despise,
and casting aside the generals who
led them in former years to defeat
they will line up before us in battle
array under the direction of leaders
we will find it wise to meet with com
petent commanders.

! The Baltimore NelOS, which was
active and vigorous in its support of
/ Mr.. Hayes in the late campaign in
Baltimore city, is not giving the Dem
ocrats much consolation over the
political significance of their victory.
Only few days ago the NeaCS, under
the above caption, in speaking about
the election, and its bearing upon the
political outlook in this State, had
this to say:
There is misinformation in plenty
being printed these days about the
Baltimore election. The result is be
ing used by many Democratic papers
as a cheering sign for the next Presi-
| Dental campaign, and part of the
Republican press is seeing in it signs
| of a united Southern Democracy.
The Chicago Chronicle Gold Demo-
craft says:
1.-The political significance of the Bal
timore election is not denied in any
quarter. Party lines were strictly
drawn. The Democratic gain was
sufficient to insure the defeat of the
Republicans at the next State cleo
ton, when Legislature will be chosen
which will select a successor to Sena-
tor Wellington. No doubt Senator
German will then go back to the
United States Senate it is
extremely probable that the political
revolution in Baltimore marks the
beginning of the end of the Republi-
can rule in the border states. To
this extent the Democratic party of
the country will be strengthened in
the Presidential campaign unless a
platform shall be again adopted that
will repel large element of the Dem
ocratic vote"
This would be interesting, if true.
The only trouble about it is that
party lines were not strictly drawn
that the defeat of the Republicans is
insured at the next election; that the
next Legislature does not elect a Sen
ator at all, and, if it did, would be
anything but sure to elect German;
and that Republican rule in the Dor
der states is about where it was be-
fore. All that happened was this:
Baltimore wanted good municipal
government, and it elected the ticket
it thought best fitted to give it. A
city ought to be allowed to do that
once in awhile without being held
responsible for a whole train of CON
sequences which are not in the least
likely to follow.

Hon. Lloyd Lowndes a Candidate for Re
nomination.

nomination.
In regard to his denomination for
Governor Il Baltimore paper quotes
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes as follows:
s1Yes, | must frankly admit that |
aspire to second term in my present
position. Honors of this type from
the people of Maryland are worthy of
being coveted by the best of men. |
understand the distinction attached
to the office, and [ think | am justly
to be pardoned for having an ambi-
tion TO succeed myself.
Il shall engage in no self-laudation
Just here, but at the same time |
might venture with all due propriety
to call attention to few things upon
which | base my hopes for renomi-
nation. My record as governor is be-
fore the public. l haye no wish to
conceal single feature. 1t is upon
this record that | rest my claims, and,
if the achievements of my administra-
ton have proved acceptable to the
people then l may be forgiven for
looking to them for a Reinforcement.
To understand the items of State
accomplishment to which point with
greatest pride it is necessary to recall
some of the voluntary failures of the
Democrats. 1t is not difficult to re-
member number of important and
very desirable measures for which the
popular voice clamored for a long
while, and which never obtained
successful recognition until the pres
ent administration was put in power.
I AL fThe legislation which now stands
as special ornaments no the statute
books were placed there by the Re
publicans under the hearty approval
and assistance of this administration.
The election law, the primary law,
the free school book law, and various
other beneficial enactments, all of
which had been blocked under a
Democratic regime, are the acts of
Republicans since my tenure of office.
Besides, an examination of all the
departments, from the highest to the
lowest, will disclose a healthier state
of good order than has existed for
years. Every line has improved,
while the financial balances are in the
best condition ever recorded in the
history of the commonwealth. All of
these things, together with others
well-known, contribute to make up
the general aggregate of performances
upon which L rely for popular ap-
prevail.
Il feel perfectly satisfied of the
goodwill toward me of Mr.. Master
and his friends. We worked together
heartily and sincerely in the munich
pal campaign, forming a close politi-
cal friendship, which, l am sure, no
man recognizes more clearly than Mr..
Master himself. With these ideas in
my mind, l offer myself to my party
as the standard-bearer next fall, with
ready heart, at the same time, to obey
its decision, whatever that may be-"

More About Alaska.

SkAGUAY, May l, 1899.
We have rather cool weather here
but no snow. Day light from a. IN.
until p. IN. and the days still get
ting longer.
The people say that in two months
time we will have 22l hours daylight
out of the "a. We are four hours
later here than at home, so when | go
to bed at 8 or 10 o'clock | think of nv
loved ones as in the midnight slum-
bers. Skaguay claims a population
of 5000, but | think that by the time
we count 5000 all the people would
be counted. We are supposed to be
thirty miles from the Canadian line
and as Alaska is prohibition district
all the liquor is shipped through in
bond. About one year ago the Cana
dams moved the line to Log Cabin,
twenty-four lmiles from here, and
about four months ago they came to
the summit and raised their flag and
forbade our men to go farther than
the summit and had two of our men
under arrest at one time. Since that
time our people did not send out any
more liquor and had over 200 tons on
hand.
After consulting with collector An
drews it was decided that | should
take twelve men and five car loads of
liquor and put it through. So we
started out at a. III. Monday last
and it took us until 10 o'clock the
same morning to get to the summit,
distance of fourteen miles, and the
end of the only railroad in Alaska.
TO get to this place we went a dis
lance of twenty-four miles by rail.
The summit is $500 feet above
Skaguay, and here we find plenty of
snow. The depot is tent and all the
houses and hotels are tents set on the
snow. l asked how much snow was
under the restaurant where we took
our meals, and was told about fifteen
feet. Only one woman lives here and
she is dandy. She smokes cigar
cites, throws dice at the bar for the
drinks and stands before the bar and
drinks the same as the boys. We see
lots of women go through here as this
is the most direct route to Klondike.
| slept four nights IN the tent and feel
tine-did not take bit of cold. 1t
SHOWS almost every night and thaws
during the day. This is as fine win
ter weather as | ever saw. Here on
the top of this mountain we find a
lake five miles long and is tributary
to the great Yukon river, which runs
to Circle and Dawson cities. This
destroys the cry that the gold regions
are in high altitude, because Skag-
uay is on sea level, the Summit is only
1900 feet above Skaguay, and from
here the water runs to Dawson CITY
and all the way through to st. Mi
chaels. From the Summit we went
over the lake to Log Cabin. The
snow on the lake is about five feet
deep and is getting soft. Our horses
would continually break in and fall
down. We landed safely at Log
Cabin. Here we find few log hous-
es but mostly tents. The custom
house is a log building with split poles
for floor. From the Summit to Log
Cabin goods are hauled by sleds, and
feel safe in saying that at least fifty
] sleds go every day to Log Cabin load

A Partisan Paper Can Be Honest.

Can partisan paper be honest?
Yes, if it does not wait for IL politi-
cal committee to determine or influ-
ence its partisanship. The partisan
editor can be honest just as truly as
can the Presbyterian preacher or the
sun worshipper be honest.
1t is the independent paper that
can not be honest. There are indie
pendent papers but they take sides,
now with one party and then with
the other For the time being they
become partisan.
That paper which never takes a
side on public questions is neither
honest nor dishonest, but is in that
hopeless state of imbecility usually
credited to the dude who parts his
hair strictly in the middle for fear
that he might fall over to one side.
When a paper honestly believes
that party consideration is more tC
be desired for the time being than any
other issue, no matter how corrupt
the party-that paper is honest.

An Editors Duty.

A newspaper man has no business
to seek office. 1t is his business to try
to get an Office for the other fellow;
to sound the praise of the candidate
and keep quiet his own name and let
his man forget all about him when he
is elected; to defend his candidate
against the unjust attacks of the OPP
position and to see that whatever
favors his candidate has to bestow
goes to the other fellow.
1t is his business to boom the city
for all it is worth, month after month
and then see 800 worth of printing go
out of the city because 10 cents can be
saved by doing so. 1t is the business
of the newspaper to give every enter
prise frequent send off and then
catch sheol because he failed to record
the fact that some prominent citizen
had his delivery wagon painted. To
subscribe literally to every public,
charitable and church entertainment,
advertise them for nothing, pay his
own way to everything, and then be
called prejuiced and mean-spirited
because column is not DEVOTED to
that affair. Do you wonder that
there are so many cranks in the news
paper business.

SEVERAL weeks ago we noted the
fact that although business was brisk
and prices advancing, the wages of
workmen had not, on the whole, kept
pace with the improvement. Since
that there has been gratifying
change. The mills, coke operators,
traction lines and other large employ
ers of labor have made decided ad-
vances in wages. Now it may be said
that employment is abundant and
wages are good.-Pittsburg Christian
