There is no doubt of the result of
the Cuban delay in accepting the
terms offered by congress. The
case was stated in a nutshell by a
member of the cabinet, who said:
The president cannot withdraw the
military government until these con
ditions have been accepted by Cuba
or until congress has modified its
directions" The chance of modif-
cation of the conditions by congress
is a very slim one, as the conditions
were approved by men of all parties
in congress and have since been APP
proved by the people.

Pettigrew's Sso--A Vote Story.
Sioux Valley New

Sioux valley News.
Ex-senator Pettigrew is reported as
saying that the republican national con-
mittee spent about a half million dollars
in this state to prevent his re election.
We do not believe it. The people Of
this state were too thoroughly convinced
that Mr.. Pettigrew had outlived his use
fulness to the commonwealth and that
why there was such an overwhelming
vote in this state for his reti%ment. The
story that Mr.. Pettigrew is circulating,
that his defeat was purchased by any
body's money,is too silly and too improe
able to command serious attention, and
while it may please him to think ne hsa
a purchasable interest la the voters Of
this state,it is a mighty serious reflection
on the character OF the voters he CLASSES
as being favorable TO him but voting
against him because someone else pan
them more money than he could aHosa
to for their votes. Ex-senator Pettigres
is adopting a very effective methoo !"
acqnainting the people OF the state, WIZ
the fact that it is very fortunate thai no

knows absolutely nothing Contrary to the expressed statements of paid pedantic newspaper writers and officials of the United States high in authority the people of Alaska know what they want, and what they do not want. And among these things are official msits, judicial aud otherwise. The people of this section have spoken and their almost unanimous voice is against the retention of Judge Moves.
 The most abject portion of the News editorial, however consists of an attempt to play Puget sound sSains: California. The little, petty and utterly con temptblc spirit of commercalism s ;njected into the e.a.rovcrry and the News closes its lame screed follows: "Only the California yellow journal side of this has been presented in the public prints. It would be well for Puget sound newspapers at least to wait until the evidence is all in, before taking up the cudgels for California"
 As usual, Alaska the people of Alaska, are nothing and their wishes not to be consideyed. Surely when the Tacoma Evening News dies wisdom will die with if.
