ALASkA'S DEFENSE.

1t has been matter of misfortune for
the frontier that the residents of thickly
settled districts become so intensely pro-
vincial and self-righteous. They conceive
that all the virtues center In their own
communities. and that depravity reigns
with a graded and increasing intensity
that is measured principally by its dis
lance from their horizon. They come TO
believe that civilization, immunity from
danger and well-ordered conditions main
tain principally within the circumscribed
radius in which they live They do not
keep abreast of the progress of newer
countries. Years after Texas became the
most orderly state in the union the New
York and Massachusetts provincials be-
lieved IL to be bowling hell OF disorder.
and after Oregon became a great COM
monwealth they still chung to the ideas
absorbed in childhood while reading Than
atopsis in their school readers.
1t should not therefore. be a matter Of
surprise that Eastern people. even though
in Congress, should now base their con-
ception OF Alaska upon the question Of
buying the country from Russia. and the
latter abnormal conditions prevailing at
the time of the Klondike stampede. 1t
would be hard for the people to grasp
the plain fact that crime is less preva-
lent in Alaska than Boston. New York.
or Chicago: that according to the popula-
ton there is less illiteracy here than
there. and that in Alaska there are more
churches. schools. newspapers. and hos
pitfalls in comparison to the population
than there are in most populous states.
and that the people are as law-abiding.
and intelligent here as
elsewhere. Verify. our free lance repre-
sentatives at Washington must be right
in asserting that many members Of Con-
gress need ightenment-Skagway Alas

SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN OF 1895,


In 1895 we had 3 campaign for the
U. s. Senate and in that campaign there
were FIVE distinguished Mississippi gen.
tlemen: H. d. Money. Jno. M. Allen,
Jno. M. Stone, Robt. Lowry and 0has.
E. Hooker, with probably q dark horse
or two, and W during that long, ar
duous contest. carried through to the
Democratic caucus Of the Legislature,
had these men cause to regret any Incl
dent Of the canvass.
All these men we're born and reared
in that age of chivalry which made
them useful when called upon by the
south to 20 forth and do or die for those
principles which fired every Southern
breast.
During that political campaign these
men came into hot competition time and
time again for public favor. Often the
battle waxed warm, and counties we're
won and lost IN intense excitement by
narrow margins. The political strug-
gle lasted months, becoming more earn
est as each county declared itself-the
long, strained effort, eliminating in q
whirl Of excitement and anxiety that
tested every temper, but not once was
there any hardness, Not once did one
Of these men find It necessary to resent
an attack on his personal character ;
not once did one Of them suffer from
