N EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.
A Movement on Foot to Effect an Or
 CaNiZation.

A Movement on Foot to Effect an Dr.
 gaNiZation
 The Juneau and Douglas City editors have informally discussed the question of organizing an Editorial association in this district and We are of the opln- ion that such move would. and cer- tainly should. meet with the approval of every editor and publisher in Alaska. As Juneau is the most centrally located city. being about midway between Fort Wrangel and Skagway. we suggest It as the location of our first meeting.
 We have good reason to believe that free trauspOrtatiOn will be provided for the editors and their wives. and hotel bills will be paid. SO that those attend inc from a distance will not need to hesitate on the score of expense; and upon these conditions we will ask the editors of Alaska to give Us an eNpreS- sion of opinion on the subject, either in their papers or by private letter to the editors of the News. or both. III which suggestions as to the time of meeting are also desired.
 it is true that the editors of the "Miuer" and News had conversation concerning the advisability of organiZ- ing an Editorial association, and so also did the editors of the Record" aEd News. Any man who has had any eN- perieuce in journalism. either in or out side of Alaska. knows that such an or gauiZation would be of great benefit to every publisher. Mr. Beddoe'S expert snce in journalism dates back but a few years and. lacking experience aud knowledge of the business. he does not seem to realize that one of the first things that an Alaska publisher thinks of is an establishment of uniform rates, which can be much better secured through the combined efforts of all the publishers at meeting which is gener- ally termed an Editorial association. It appears from the editorial that we re publish that Mr. BeddOe contemplated the expenditure of several years time in "Collecting data in order that he might inform himself as to the aim. ob- iects and manner of conducting such an organization, and. well knowing that there are many of the Alaska editors who are possessed of the knowledge after which our Brother Beddoe is thirsting, We concluded to set the thing in motion.
 But Mr. Beddoe wants credit fOI originating the idea of organizing an Editorial association and we are per fectIy willing that he should have it On due and careful deliberation,we are now convinced that Mir. Beddoe is the only editor in Alaska who is possessed of sufficient ability to get right dOwr to real hard. downright thinking anC emit the great, profound, lofty and su blime idea that an Editorial association would be beneficial to the Alaska edit ors. Of course, we can only speak fol the senior editor of the News. but wt believe the Alaska editors will all joir with us in saying that MT. Beddot shall not be robbed of his just due, anC we beg our brethren of the press tha Mir. Beddoe be from this time on re garded as the only editor in Alaska tha has ever gave thought to the idea of or ganizing an Editorial association.

TO BUY HOME IN CANTON
President Negotiating For the Pur-
chase of the Mckinley Cottage

Canton, O., July LIT was reported
here this afternoon that Attorney Aus
tin Lynch, the law partner Of Judge
Day, acting for President Mckinley,
is negotiating with Mrs. Elizabeth A.
Harter for the purchase Of the famous
Mckinley cottage. Mrs. Harter. the
owner, declined 20 talk for publication
Mr.. Lynch said: No deal has been
closed, but negotiations are pending.
There are some legal points that hope
can be arranged"
Canton is rejoicing over this good
news. The railroad records show that
nearly a million political pilgrims WISH
ted the house to hear the Mckinley
front-dOor speeches in 1896. The house
is a commOdiOus two story frame build
ing, with large verandaS, and stands on
a lot about 100 feet front and about
twice that depth. Friends here do not
think that the president viii make very
extensive changes in the home if the
deal is closed. It is thought to be his
desire to again possess the home where
he began married life 80 years ago,
which is sacred in memories of children
lost there and which was disposed Of
after the death of Mrs Mckinley's
mother, when they removed to the old
SaxtOn homestead, now owned by Mrs.
Barber, a sister of Mrs. Mckinley Many
people feared that since the death of
his mother. Mrs. Nancy Allison McKin-
ley, in December, 1897. and the severing
of other home ties, the president might
be persuaded to locate elsewhere Can
ton is jubilant in the hope that the
negotiations now pending may soon be
successfully concluded.

PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
Treachery and Real
Weakness.


Mr.. John Barrett's charges that the
FiIipinos have been melted to continue
their war by the sympathy Of the BOs-
tOnian and other anti-ImpeFialists have
been strengthened by recent statements
made by General Otis. The FIlipinOs
apparently do not realize that, however
warmly certain groups OF Americans
may sym athiZe with them, the Amen
can government IS committed to the
war and viii pursue it till a conclusion
is reached either by conquest or com
promise In the interests OF humanity
il is only fair to hope that compromise
will prevail The anti inperiaISts in the
east would show much more shrewd-
ness if instead of wasting time and en-
ergy BY denOunc1ng the war. they would
follow the policy Of some Of their sym
pathizers in the western press by en-
deavoring to bring about an under
standing between our government and
Agu1naldOs who. according to so Well
informed and so ardent an inperlaliSt
as Mr.. Barrett, is an intelligent, If mis-
guided. young man The clearest state
nent regarding the Philippine situation
has come from DR.. Seaman A. Knapp,
the well known educator, who, from
residence in the islands, has acquired a
broad knowledge of affairs there.
-'AguinaIdo and his voluntary follow
ing" he says, represented at the COM
mencement Of hOstilities less than one
tenth of the territory of the Philippine
islands. and never had even nominal
of the other nine-tenths of the territory
We're opposed to him and his ambitious
schemes over ninety per cent of the
property interests in the One-tenth of
territory within the provinces of his
TagalOg supporters were opposed to
him and his plan OF government. They
had faith in his sincerity" Even
more important is another statement by
DR. Knapp it must astOnish those
Americans who believe that AguinaldO
was grossly deceived by our representa-
tiVes iE the east. 'AguinaIdO was a
fugitive in Asia. and before he was
allowed to return and organize a fol-
lowing he signed a written agreement
with the United States government
consisting of four articles, two of which
I recall First. that ne would in all
material respects be Obedient to the
authorities of the United States in the
Philippines; secondly, in case the United
States elected to hold the Philippines
he would do all in his power TO bring
the natives into harmony with this plan
This was stated TO me by a prominent
official who was present when the
agreement was signed"

attracted his attention and upon look

PLENTY OFT.
Lots More Proof Like This and It
Is all From Topeka People.

THE proof of the pudding is in the
eating of it." If any city or town in the
union has sufficient proof on the fol-
lowing subject, it is Topeka. Genuine
merit is finding its reward in the hearty
endorsement of local citizens. When peo-
pie right here at home, friends and
neighbors of our readers, give q state
ment like the following for publication
it is proof convincing for the most skep-
teal Read this testimony:
Mr. w. NJ. Smith of 316 Lawrence
street, blacksmith by trade, says: I
had most depressing pains in my back
and across the 1oins- In the winter OF
1898 they grew much worse, and at
night after working all day 1 suffered
severely. took a number of kidney
remedies and wore an electric belt for
three months. but obtained little relief
Ny rest at night was frequently broken
on account of a kidney weakness, and
on learning of Doan'S Kidney Pills, l
went to Rowley & Shows drug store
and got a box The treatment relieved
me of the annoying weakness of the
kidneys and the pain in my back passed
away. Doans Kidney Pills did more
for me than any other remedy ever
used.

HERE Is ANOTHER.
Difficult to Keep Tab on Kansans Who
Become Famous.

Another 'formerly-o Kansas" man
is achieving fame in the east in literary
lines. He is now known as Cyrus
Townsend Brady, but Kansas people
Will remember him better as Arch
deacon Brady. He was archdeacon of
the Episcopal church in Kansas for up
wards of four years, and as such
Travelled over the state preaching and
looking after the interests of the
church. Four years ago he went east
and since then has been archdeacOn Of
Pennsylvania During the Spanish war
he went to the front as chaplain Of the
First Pennsylvania.
He is now becoming quite well known
in the field of ma gazine literature His
latest work is a romance of the war of
1872, following the fortunes of "Old
IrOnsides," and in it it is said he has
produced the most thrilling novel of sea
life in American literature. Its title is
For the Freedom of the Sea- and it
is to be published serially in the Satur-
day Evening Post of Philadelphia, be-
ginning in a few weeks.

INVITATIONS OF "UNEEDA''
BISCUIT.
United States Circuit Court Grants IN
junction Against "Iwanta" Biscuit


An injunction, which applies to all
the numerous limitations of "Uneedal'
Biscuit, has just been granted by the
United States circuit court, for the
southern district of New York. against
the use of the trade mark "Iwanta'
which was applied to a biscuit which
upon the trade mark ''Uneedas" the
biscuit made SO widely known by
newspaper advertising.
In his opinion, Judge Lacombe re-
marks that the case is too plain to
waste many words over. That 'Unee-
da" as applied to biscuit, is a proper
trade mark; and that complainant is
entitled to its exclusive use in that con-
nectiOn, is hardly disputed That it has
been most extensively advertised, pre-
sumably at great expense, is matter Of
common knowledge. The court refused
to accept the plea of the defendant
that with the word "Uneeda" before
him, his device to avoid confusion was
the adoption of the word ''Iwanta."
There are, as usual. a number OF
minor differences between the forms
and the dress of the two packages, but
no one can look at both packages with
out perceiving that there are strong
resemblances which could easily have
been avoided had there been an honest
effort to give defendants goods a dis
tinctive dress.
The opinion closes with the comment
that both name and dress are clearly
calculated to mislead and the state
ments that both were adopted with an
eye single to differentiation, strain the
credulity Of the court beyond the break
ing point
Preliminary injunction was granted
against the use of the trade name
.'Iwanta" and of the present style of
package. Also against all similar i'm
ttations Of the "Uneeda" name and
package.

OPPOSITION TO BRYAN.
The Nebraska Man May Not
Have a WaIkOver.

New York, July 17.-George H. Kee-
ney, president of the association of ma
tiOnaI silver clubs, said last night TO
Times reporter:
Il don't think that free silver coinage
will be made the principal issue in the
platform the Democrats will adopt next
year. If Mr.. Bryan obtains control Of
the convention, he will of course see
that silver has a prominent place in the
platform; but no man or faction can, I
believe, force that issue back into the
prominence 1t had in 1896. The party
fears II would have no chance of Win
ming on that old issue, besides there is
a clamor for new issues and a fight
along new lines.
I do not believe that anti-imperiaI-
ism will be made the chief, or even a
conspicuous plank The best men in the
Democratic party either approve the
policy of the administration or feel that
the present course has been inevita BILE
and must be fought through to success
It will not do for Bryan to put himself
against the brains and patriotism of the
country. Many of his friends have felt
that he is only losing ground by his
present policy of attacking the admin
istratiOn'S position and have advised
him to fight on ground where he can
easily score a victory We have urged
him to attack Mckinley for the palpa-
bic errors in the conduct Of the war. He
could score a hit by showing that it was
due TO the administration Q1IaEOrIneSS
that SO much fighting and slaughter
has been necessary and by showing
that our soldiers were actually starved
in the field Anti-expansion won't do.
We succeeded last year in electing one
Democrat in California, merely because
he favored the annexation of Hawaii.
Again the trusts are not going to be
played very heavily as a political card.
The Democrats recognize that the
trusts have come to stay. They are al
so confused by the action of such CAPT
talists as Havemeyer and Huntington
and there is a feeling that the trusts
have at last got a pretty good stake in
the Democratic party
Mr.. Keeney said that there is a very
decided revolt in the south and east
against Bryan
German is stronger than he is usual
" considered. There is a strong diSpO-
sttion on the part of eastern and south
ern Democrats to try an eastern man
next year, and German may prove to
be q very powerful factor in the result
The sOutherners are repeating that the
western combination failed in 1896 and
in 1898 and that the chief consideration
at this time is success. They viii, I
believe, demand a Democrat who Will
unite the east and south and one who
will not in himself revive the old issues
on which we have met only defeat and
disaster.
