THE newspapers of Alaska are generally taking up the cry for Representation in Congress-. The idea is a good one and worthy of much consideration. The law recently passed by Con- gresS, is the most sweeping in it's effect of any tax measure which ever eminated from that august body. Every thing is included; and after July lst, next. no business can be con- ducted without the payment of a tax to the Government The principal of taxation without representation was the primary cause of the war of the revolu- tion, which resulted in the orig inal Colonies throwing off the yoke of Great Britain. NoQues- ton exists as to the right of Congress to tax Alaska; but Congress should allow the peO- pie of Alaska a voice in the mat ter. The Boston tea party which resulted in the sending of a British army to Boston, over century ago, was caused by the determination of the ColOnists to resist the exact principal which is now being applied to Alaska and where in America do we find any one who speaks anything but praise and glory for the acts of those noble pa triotS. If the money which this law will take from our citizens was to be expended ill Alaska, it would in a great measure, nit igate to remove any feeling of resentment; but there appears to be no redeeming feature. The money is to be paid into the treasury of the United States, and Alaska is to be given no more real consideration than would be given a beast of bur den, which is used, bartered and sold.

ledge of their character or cap abilities. In such cases the damage which results before a removal can be effected is very great, and the people of Alaska are the sufferers. Possibly some day when the inhabitants of this great country have roach ed a degree of intelligence suf- ticient to justify it Congress may allow us to elect a justice of the peace. In the case of Ar mcnt and Tustin, action has be- gun, which, in all probability, will place those persons where they can no longer disgrace the civilization they are supposed to represent.

EVERYTHING is taxed except:
 The right to collect rent for government property.
 The right to draw vouchers on the government for larger amount than is legal.
 The right to be d King and put men in jail without due pro- cess of law.
 The right to eXtort illegal fees and charge illegal costs.
 The right to accept OvercOats.
 The right to act as an agent of the Government in the tlanSac- tiOn of business with a firm of professional eNtortcrS where the Government agent is d partner of the eXtOrterS.
 The right to Graft in any way not'otherwise specified.
 Probably Congress took the sensible view of it, and consid- cred it more expensive to collect tax from Grafters; than the tax would amount to. This is com mon sense; but it is not impar- tialltV.

senatorial ballot resulted in the election
Of the Butte Democratic candidate,
William A. Clark, who received Sd Of
the 93 votes cast" Twelve of the six.
teen Republicans voted for Clark. =.
Before the result was announced Rep.
resentative D. Mats, leader of the anti.

that certain members who voted for Mr..
Clark had been bought; that this evi.
dence was in addition to that already
submitted to the investigating com.

be seated at Washington. There is nc
doubt that charges Of bribery will be
preferred when Mr.. Clark presents his
credentials to the senate. The Clark
men, however, treat the Mats charges
lightly, and say they court as full an
investigation as can be made

just been completed at a cost of $685.
900, and the announcement that the
most gratifying success has attended the
use Of forced draft, without any Chin

pertinent of forced draft gives promise
Of great economy in fuel, as we'll as
doing away with the expensive and un-
ornamental chimney. The draft arrange
ment consists Of large fan, which is
connected with by double cylinder
engine. The fan has wheel 81 inches
in diameter and runs at almost any rate

prodigious and makes it possible to en-
ploy fuel of lower grade than any
heretofore used. Instead Of the best

Articles of Priceless Worth Kept In
the National Museum.
One Of the most interesting relics in
the National museum at Washington is
the camp chest used by Washington
throughout the Revolution. It lisa com
pact affair about the size Of tourists
wicker chest fer cooking of the present
day, ~ feet long, 2 feet wide, foot
high, and it contains an outfit consist
ing of finder box, pepper and salt
boxes, bottles, knives, forks, gridiron
and plates. Every bit of the outfit save
one bottle, which is broken at the
shoulder, looks strong enough to stand
another campaign.
Near by are the tents used by Wash
ington-three in number. One is q
sleeping tent, % feet long, with walls
6 feet high and roof with a 6 foot
pitch. It is made of linen The other
two are marquee tents Of smaller size,
one with walls, the other shelter tent
open on the sides. That the tenting ma
terial of Revolutionary days was good
stuff is proved by the excellent condi-
tion of these tents, which sheltered the
great commander through all his severe
campaigns.
Here also is Washington's uniform,
worn by him when he gave up his COM
mission as commander in chief of the
army, at Annapolis in 1888. It consists
of big shadbelly coat of blue broad.
cloth, lined and trimmed with soft
buckskin and ornamented with broad,
fat brass buttons; buckskin waistcoat
and breaches. The size of the garments
(Which are in O state Of excellent pres
ervation) testify to the big stature Of
the Father of His Country and sug.
gest that he had an eye to fine ap-
pearance in his dress. Washington
