ALL CAN STAND on IT.
(News and Courier. Dan.

The Democratic platform is Il plat
form upon which all Democrats can
stand whatever their differences upon
the silver question. 1t contains Il ring
ing and just arraignment of the party
in power and it's vicious policies. It
appeals 10 the Intelligence of the coun-

American. 1t is for the United States

II is against cntanglng alliances
abroad and for American supremacy
at home. II is for the Monroe doctrine

A QUAY VIEW OF IT.

There are Just two points in the
Democratic platform that arc worth
bothering with-so-called "Imporial-
ism" and silver.
II is about as weak deiiverance as
any part in all history ever put forth.
II is AN excuse for existence n plea

to be too hard on the Democratic Pop
ulistic party of Organism. but TO let it
down easy.

How roseate are the views of our

The assertion that they who point

ment based upon it is specious. The
tendency towards empire is undenia-

with which they are guarded against
contrary influences. Accustom the
people to the spectacle of u President

Held NOT TURNED DOWN.

In an able editorial the Juneau Truth
deals with some aspects of the recent
republican convention at Juneau, and
the structures of the Douglas Island
News upon the result. In regard to
the latterit says:
1.-THE "News" need not deplore the
turning down of Mr.. Held, who was
forced to vote against his friend Brady
for Mr.. Held was not turned down in
any sense other than he was compelled
to stand by the community in which he
lives as against that communities great.
est political and business enemy. The
News" is reminded that the votes oil
its own town were cast for the anti
Brady resolution; that 32 out of AZ votes
in the convention were so cast; and that
the sense of all political parties in
Alaska has been and will be recorded
against Bradyism.'

ALASKA CODE BILL.

AS Judge Brown remarked in an in
terview published in the last issue OF
the DAILY ALASKAN, the democrats OF
the house are raising no real opposition
to the Alaska code bill. Advices from
the 2lst to the oath shows that the bill
is being worked at every day, and the
policy of the house is to use it as stop
gap for the remainder of the session to
keep out the flood of legislation that al
ways presses at the end of each session.
They will only give way to conference
reports and such other matters as the
leaders are willing to allow to go
through.
So there seems to be not the slightest
doubt but that the bill will pass during
the last days of the season, and very
much in the same state as it left the
senate. The only change which the
house has so far made to it provides for
the:invalidating of mining erorrs made
by recorders in mining districts here
tofore organized by miners. Such rec
ords are made proper records, and it is
provided that they shall be deposited
with recorders provided by the act
&within six months of it's passage.
The only reason for the belief that
the democrats were opposing the till,
lay in the fact that at the opening OF
its debaUe in the house they made a
struggle to have their speeches printed,
their idea being to take clause or
phrase of the bill and upon that hang a
long address denouncing expansion, inn
perialism, etc. and to have them print
ed at government expense for use as
campaign documents. The republicans
very properly refused to permit this to
be done.

THE NEW COURT.

Judge Brown has arrived and from
the manner in which he has taken hold
of the judicial reins, we believe he is
going to be the fright man In the right
place. "'rA
The judges demeanor on the bench
shows conclusively that he is not at all
ignorant of the conditions prevailing in
Alaska nor of the laws governing this
territory and the many defects therein.
1t is quite evident that the time be-
tween his appointment and his arrival
has been diligently spent in acquaint-
ing himself with the laws of Oregon ap-
plicable to Alaska, the court rules, etc.
The judge has shown himself to be full
ly conversant with the mining laws and
the general principles of law and equity.

MR.. PRICE CoMPLIMENTED.

The Seattle ost-Intelligencer of the

ceedings OF the republican convention
at Juneau, and an excellent large por-
trait OF John G. Price. 1t states that:
"Mr. Price was at Washington last
winter as the representative of the AL
aska people who thought the govern
ment should give the territory more
favorable consideration. Governor
Brady was there, too, and he and Mr..
Price did not work well together. Mr..
Price wanted one thing and Governor
Brady another. The people who cons
troll the affairs of Alaska seem to think
that Governor Brady was wrong and
Mr.. Price right. They have manifest
ed their feelings by publicly condemn
ing Brady and endorsing Mr.. Price"

ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.
A Vast Difference In the Number of Mel
Required to Handle Them.

Vast Difference In the Number of Men
Required to Handle Them.
The number of men required to man
naval guns of the British, French, Ger
man and American navies is about the
same, although the French are under
stood to have more men as a rule for
some of the larger guns.
For the 4 inch and inch all services
require four men TO work each piece ;
for the inch, six men are needed, and
for the 10, IL and 10 inch the same
number.
AS nearly all our s, 10, IL and 10
inch guns are used in pairs and mount
ed in turrets the IL men working them
are protected by heavy plates of steel.
For the little 1 Founders three men are
necessary to work them rapidly, and
for the 3 Founders and Founders four
men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss
three men.
Treble the number of men seem to be
required to work the same caliber Of
guns in our coast defense system, al
though there is no special reason for
this, unless it be due to the fact that
the army guns are mounted on disap
pearing carriages and are not provided
with turrets, which naturally limits the
space of the operators. An army inch
gun takes / ) men to work it; 10 inch
gun requires 8 men, and IL inch
gun, the largest now constructed by the
army, calls for II men.
1t will be seen, therefore, that 10
inch naval gun is operated by six men,
while an army gun of one inch less cali
Der calls for 81 men. The navy gun can
be fired just as rapidly with it's six men
as the army gun can be fired with its
larger number. Boston Herald.

Setbacks to Cycle Racing.

There perhaps never was sport, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser,
that received so many setbacks as BIZ
cycle racing. Something is always hap
pening to 1etard the fun, and that de-
spite the fact that the public interest is
great in nearly everything that pertains
to cycle contests. The public cannot be
expected to support sport that is con-
tinually being marred by all sorts Of
petty chickering's, and the necessity for
some competent governing body daily
becomes of more Importance. The
League of American Wheelmen, it 10
very generally conceded, has demon
strated its inability to manage the
sport, and decided opposition to the
new association of the racing men is
cropping up. The whole problem seems
to be very difficult one to solve. The
racing men cannot govern themselves,
neither can the League Of American
Wheelmen. Who can?
