The Alaska-Pacific Gable.

The efforts of senators and represen-
tatives from all the interior states Of
the Union, and those from the Pacific
Northwest above all, ought to be direct
ed toward securing the immediate con-
struction Of an Alaska Pacific cable, for
which a bill has been introduced, This
does not rely for its support upon flu
ture possibilities, but upon present
needs. 1t is embarrassing now and 1t
will presently become intolerable to
have no means of rapid communication
with our Alaskan possessions. Even IL
they were held. as they were for so
many years, as a sort of outpost of civ
ilization. valuable only for their furs
and fish and seals, the Inconvenience
would be great with the development
speedily until 1t cannot be borne.
A cable TO Dutch harbor, built and
operated by the United States, with
branch lines to the principal Alaskan
centers, Is a military and already almost
a commercial necessity. Thousands of
people are pouring into this new coun-
try. Most OF them are going there for
gold, but many of them win remain per-
manently. The settlement OF the habit
able portion of Alaska. which is greater
than Is popularity supposed, will, be a
consequence OF the gold excitement In
any event. mining operations will con-
tinue and increase for many years to
come That these people and the in
terests which they represent, and that
the interests Of the government should
continue TO be dependent upon the car
rage Of mails by steamers during the
season Of navigation II is not reasonable

The Alaskan cable Is needed now.
That It viii point across the Pacific as
its future destination adds to its i'm
portance and its utility. Public opinion
leans strongly toward It, The turning

"FRoM ONE LEARN ALL.

Judging by the tone of the east
ern press, the most INSCRIPTIONS
campaign is going to be fought on
the part of the gold party this year
ever known in this republic. No
falsehood will be too great to tell;
no deception too outrageous to prac-
tice. The effort is to be to convince
even the men who are starving IN
der the pressure now in the east that
the men in the south and the west
are would-be repudiators and
thieves; that the election of Mr.
Bryan will be followed by an over
whelming panic Every appeal that
can be made to the cupidity or the
cowardice of men will be made;
every falsehood that promises to
serve the cause will be told, and it
will go into history as a campaign
of utter unscrupulousness on the
part of the money party. nothing
will elect Mr. Bryan except an ap-
peal to the sense of justice of the
people and clear showing of the

In order to vote one must either be a
citizen (by nativity or Naturalization
or have declared his intention to be-
come a citizen of the United States. In
most of the states, including Utah,
complete citizenship is required, but in
the following the declaration of inten-
ton suffices: Alabama, Arkansas. Col
orado, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Loui-
siana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri
Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon,
South Dakota, Wisconsin. In each
state the qualifications to vote for the
presidency are the same as for voting
for state officers.
A foreign-born woman Immediately
becomes a citizen of the United States
when she marries an American citizen,
and in Utah or elsewhere where women
have the franchise she may vote as
soon as she has complied with the other
requirements of the law. In Utah, to
vote. one must have been d citizen of
the United States for ninety days, have
lived in the state one year, in the coun-
ty four months and in the precinct six
ty days. Hence a woman who has been
a citizen of the Union and a resident
of the state for only a week could not
vote.
