Senator Perkins Ideas.

Senator Perkins of California has in- troduced a bill in the senate for the alleged benefit of alaska. The senator was up here last summer and looked up the matter of legislation for this dis, trict. The greatest objection to the measure is that Sitka is made the capi tai, and the judge of this district is to reside there.
 We cannot understand why a man of the ability and keen business judg- ment that the California senator pos sesses should ever recommend the residence of the Judges far from the direct line of travel in this part of Al aska. Of all the senators and repre- sentatives who visited the district last summer, we believe Senator Perkins is the only one who would favor contin- uation of the residence of the Judge at Sitka. It would be a crime against our people, deprivation of justice to con- tinue the residence of the Judge in the island city.

A GANG OF scoUNDRELs.
Claims Withdrawn in The Yukon Sold tO FaYoriteS for a
 Trlfilng Sum.


 In 1898 an order was issued by the Canadian government withdrawing all fraction claims from entry in the Yu. kon territory, and the government Sep tember g sold the reserved Do- minion claims and fractions on Domin ion creek. These were 66 in number, and in every instance the purchasers were friends, who evidently had full information, as the terms of sale were closed to public competition.
 AS a result few men were made i'm mensely rich, as the entire list of claims brought the insignificant sum of $IS,O5O, when they are well worth Sl,OOO,OOO, and could have been sold in the market here for that amount A fraction of 68 feet, at l3a above Lower Discovery could have been sold here for s1,OOO per foot, total of S6S, OOO for the fraction; yet it sold in Ot- tawa for $500. Other rich fractions sold at equally ridiculous low rates.

ALASKA nINERs' ASSOCIATION.
It Objects to the Presence of Soldiers At Nome Under Certain Conditions.


 An organization has been effected in Seattle that bears the name of Alaska Miners Association and it is, as we un- derstand it, composed principally of Cape Nome miners. The objects of the association appeared in our last weeks issue in the shape of resolutions and the interests of the mines in that part of the district will be amply protected if the associations many wishes and de- mands are respected and granted.
 The Association does not object to U. S. troops being stationed at Cape Nome but insists that they should be there only in aid of the civil authori- ties, and Uncle Sam will of course send them there for no other purpose. Sc long as the judgments of the courts are enforced and respected by the miners, there need be no fear of any unwarrant- ed interference of the military.
 The Cape Nome district furnishes the only real genuine poor mans placer mines on earth and we do not believe that Congress will enact any law that will deprive the miner from working the gold out of the beach sands. The American miner can always expect fail treatment from his government. Suct nasty legislation as the Canadians have put in force against her gold hunter; has no place on American statutes.
 The Cape Nome boys can rest assured that they will be fairly treated.

STEVENSON AND ROOSEVELT.

The Washington Post says the
democrats have made an eminently
respectable nomination for the vice
presidency. Mr.. Stevenson filled
that high office with credit during
Mr.. Cleveland's second term. He
was an exceptionally able presiding
officer of the senate. Possessing
tact and dignity, he won and held
the respect and admiration of the
members of that body, who, upon
his retirement, united in testimo,
nial of their appreciation Of his
honorable services. His qualifica.
tions for this office, therefore, are
established. In this respect the
democrats are more fortunate than
the republicans, for Mr.. Roosevelt's
most ardent champions do not
profess a belief in his fitness for
this particular Office, and he him>
self, prior to the Philadelphia con-
vention, frankly avowed that he
was unsuited to the role. And
what is true Of the vice presidency
as between the two men, likewise
holds good of their respective quail
i6cations for the higher office of
chief executive.

THE CASE OF WEBSTER DAVIS

When Webster Davis was a
member of the republican party he
was favorite of the administration.
AS mayor of Kansas City he
strengthened the party and on the
stump he was considered star -
SO much so that he was rewarded
with the important office OF asssi>
tant secretary Of the interior.
Mr.. Davis, however, developed
an unexpected conscience and cans
dor, which served to make him
persona non grata with his party
and its leaders. He had pronounc-
ed views on the rights of man
particularly on the Boer question:
and did not hesitate to speak them.
He has turned to the democratic
party as the one closest represent
ing those views-and why should
he not just as goldbug democrat
should go to the republican party7
The more honor to Mr.. Davis
that he should be brave enough to
follow the promptings Of his con.
science even at the expense Of his
political future.
The republicans say he is dem
agogue, but we do not believe it.
Rather, we believe him to be one
OF the few republicans not dema>
gogue, and hence the parting of
their ways.
