SIMPLY RIDICULOUS.

The most ridiculous proposition that has so Gar been advanced in connection with District Attorney Boyee and his Sunday closing law enforcement, comes from the Juneau Record-Miner, which seems Co have lost its bearings entirely on matters of public concern. The Ju' neau paper says;
 "The enforcement ot the Sunday laws enacted by congress lies wholly with the people, for the law itself spe- ei6eially provides that "Circumstanees Of necessity and mercy may be pleaded in defense which shall be treated as ques- tions of fact for the jury Co determine, ' This grants Co a jury iu Alaska a great CT power than is given to a jury by the laws of any state in the Union, and yet we have fellows up here crying for self government"
 This contention Is really too silly to discuss seriously. However, it bears the impress ot having been advanced in good faith, so it might be well Co say that the "Circumstances Of necessity and mercy clause applies Co particular oienses, and are not intended Co be general tn their application. Any court would instruc, a jury upon the trial Of a man for keeping his place oi business open on Sunday, that it the evidence disclosed. in the particular case on trial. that the circumstances were such that there was @ necessity for the place of business Of the accused being open on accoun, Of some particu- lar emergency, then, and then only would they be entitled Co take cogniz- anee Of the provision of the law under consideration. 10 could uot apply un- der any possible construction Of the lsw Co the keeping open of a business house for the accommodation ot the regular, customary trade. To take ad' vantage Of the clause it would be neee>- sary Co show some extraordinary and particular cause for disregarding the general provision Of the law.
 The only way Co regulate the Sunday law and an other laws iu a manner Co satisfy the people, is for the people Co make the laws as they would have them, and Co have people oi their own choosing Co execute them.

ANOTHER PLAN.

The Juneau Record-Miuer proposes that the membert ot the city councils Of the incorporated towns ot South eastern Alaska beconstituted Grand Council" Co speak, for Southeastern Alaska as to che kind of legislation that is required by chi, district. 1.-the Juneau papers plans should end here q, would be an right, but it does not. The Record-Niiuer seeks Co limit the powers Of its Grand Counci.' 10 iu- sis,s upon laying down the things that are to be considered by that body. It says:
 ''The Record-Miner suggests that the members of the six city councils in Southeastern Alaska bc organized into one grand council and that they work as one body Co secure all municipal power that they can obtain. The men composing this body Of municipal leg islators is the most representative that can be named in Southeastern Alaska %
 Why limit ,he purposes of the "Grand Council" to securing an the municipal power they can obtain. 60 Just take oG the brakes, NIr. Record Miner, and permit the Grand Cour- ell" to place such limitations on the scope Of its action as it sees ft, and we are with you.
 If your fellows at Juneau will agree to abide by the results ot an annual convention Of the municipal council men Of the cities oi Alaska, the people oi Skagway will, no doubt. meet you on that ground. Adopt that course and the territory Of Alaska win have been organized before the end Of ar- other two years.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.--A drop of four
teen to seventeen points in the near cot
ton positions at the opening this morn
ing revealed a weak undertone, due
largely to fears of October notices. to
the poor Liverpool cables and to the
favorable. weather news. The only IN
satisfactory points about the map were
some heavy rainfall in Texas and the
possibility that low temperatures in the
central States may work South. replacing
the present warm conditions. The re-
ceipts at Galveston and Savannah were
large. aggregating about 5000 bales more
than the arrivals at those points last
year. Later advices from the English mar
ket reflected decided weakness, prices in
that city declining three TO four points
after our market opened. This fact led
10 renewed selling pressure here for a
time, but as there seemed to be fairly
good supporting orders on hand a slight
rally soon took place, Notwithstanding
the heaviness abroad

NEW YORK, Oct. Sill a. m.-The

parent pressure of liquidation. but trad

ness of the London markets.
In the railroad list ST. PauPs first
prices were a shade higher than Sat
urday's close. but there was a gradual
recession of az per cent from the open
ing, followed by recovery of the frac-
ton. Pennsylvania was heavy. Erie
lost Is and second preferred about
per cent. Elsewhere recessions were
confined to fractions.
Among the Industrials, United States
Steel stocks, after a firm opening, sold
of about a point. Amalgamated Copper
and Anaconda lost 1 per cent. Tennes-
see Coal and Iron lost Ia. In the local
fractions, Metropolitan gained l per
cent. but lost the gain in few minutes.
Manhattan opened up " per cent, but
then went down l per cent. At the lower
level the speculation lapsed into ex-
IRENE dullness. which robbed the price
changes of virtually all significance.
Government bonds unchanged. Rail-

1t is possible that there are more &C
counts that must be liquidated, and that
further losses in values will be recorded
before a sustained upward move de-
velops. In view of the Iact that the
market has had so many false starts in
recent weeks. 1t may be well to bear in
mind the possibilities of further de-
clines. but 1t is well worth noting, new
ertheless, that in the second half of the
last week there was great Improvement
in the buying. better support than had
been recorded in many weeks and ex-
pressions of confidence on the part of
many substantial interests in the belief
that the tide had turned. that forced
liquidation was at an end. and that
higher prices would be recorded.
The Washington times., 1903-10-05

The heaviest selling pressure in the
week was In the United States Steel
issues and Pennsylvania stock. the last
named having been sold by houses that
often operate for important interests.
The decline in this issue naturally ere
ated uneasiness. as II was thought that
liquidation came from sources that were
heavily interested in the fotation of the
new stock.
