 When Guthrie. Woodruff and Mr. Kaufman were we'll under the blanket

 It certainly look, that way because thc saloon, that do not miN glmbliug and prostitution in their bushes, are 1rrNcd against him \nd it Is funny Go -c, thc Bremen, Fricnd-hc oi the barrel, oi money putting about among these saloon men who refuse Co tram and trying to line them up for Guthrie Ecclar ,ay, of himself that he i, tired of public hic How fortunate that he can rest Vale.

 The gang seem struck with amaze, mcnt tl think any people m SkagWay could presume Go throw a Stumblur block m the way oi their hgurehcad They cannot tcll Wh. but when ask ed. the question Is seldom cyadcd, and the answer comes straight from the shoulder The people are tired of thc cheap. tin horn regime Once before iu thc history oi Skagway events fore cd the people Co stand either on one side oi che fence or the other In nearly Che same degree the sheep are now clearly separated from the goats. The majority oi the citizens are disposed Co believe that good form demands they couccdc certain evils necessary But that keepers of gambling hclls and hawdy houses should bc kept out oi thc common council That the rights of such people should receive consid cr1tiou goes without saying, but 'hat thcr personality m the rcprescntatiy, bodies oi Che city amounts Co indecent exposure and is a burning shame Co Skagway
 There Is nothing goody,goody about thc main opposition to the gang. \ of their regime might even yet be tolerated had they shown any business ability. This record has been one of neglect incompctcncy and stupidity Colonization at Dyel meet. ingS without quorum, gross cNtrava- gancc or silly parSimony and presence at the council under such conditions. that the charity of the sober should have shielded the presence oi the drunken behind a Japanese screen.
