NJ. NJ. Sutley, OF Center, was in town
last Saturday, and in speaking OF his
recent visit to Pennsylvania, his native
state. which he left some fifteen years
ago, said I've was surprised to learn how
completely the farmers OF that state
were IN the coils OF the meat and other
trusts. Good beef cattle are no higher
there than here; refrigerator cars are
run into the cities OF any size and abso
lutely shut out competition, so that there
is no profit there in raising cattle for the
market. Corn and other farm produce
are selling at abou, Chicago prices, while
nearly every thing the farmer buys has
nearly doubled in price. And yet he
says he discovered but little change in
the politics ~ the farmers whom he
knew fifteen wears ago; there is some, of
course. hut not ns much ns the average

That Juneau Mail.

Postmaster Sampson says it is within the province ofthe mail inspector of the district to supply mail service when regular contractor fails to comply with the requirements of his contract. This information is something tangible for the people of Skagway, Juneau and other Alaskan ports that are being will fully neglected by the Seattle contrac. tor to act upon. The inspectors atten- tion should be called to the condition and his official action requested without further delay. People should be made to understand that Alaskans propose to see that value received will be required of those who receive public money for Alaska contracts. We get too little from the Federal government not to get the benefit of what appropria- tions are made forus. We are entitled to three more mails each week from Ju- neau, and must insist upon having them.-Skagway Daily Alaskan.

Cape Nome Rush.

Owing to the prospective rush of miners to the Nome mining district it is now given out as settled fact that the Pacific Coast Steamship company will place three steamships on that run when the rush begins in the spring.
 These steamers will be the Senator, City of Puebla and the Willamette.
 The first two have been in the govern ment transport service, but it is expect ed that they will be released soon, in time to engage in the new trade. The Senator and Puebla are passenger boats, while the w illamette will be used as a freighter.
 Another change in the Alaska busi- ness is that the Topeka will take the run of the Cottage City and the latter will make three trips>a month between the Sound and SkagwaY.
