unless a majority OF the voters Of he
I~countv declare otherwise at b polls.
Is this action of h democrats of
Pit county In keeping with the decla-
Iration of the democratic state plat
form? It is ~antagonistic TO h ideas
of the advocates OF the Watts law,
Whose aim is by legislative enactment
Ito suppress entirely b manufacture
and sale Of liquors outside of i~ncorpo-
rated towns. The fundamental prin-
lciples OF the democratic party are SELL
government by the people and rule
by the majority. The state platform
docs not declare positively for prohib-
lifting the sale OF liquors outside Of in
~lcorporated towns, but himply approves
1.-THE general principles OF the Watts
law regulating the manufacture and
sale Of liquors and limiting the same

Iquate police protection" 1t further de-
l~clares that a democratic legislature
Imay be trusted to make all amend
iments that experience and conditions
may Demonstrate to be wise and
proper"
I Now Pitt county democrats declare
flor an amendment applicable to their
lcounty alone. They are opposed to
1.-THE law as at present framed. They
lido not ask h a h desired amendment
Ibe made a general n but that it shall
lapply only to their own county. leay-
ling the people Of other counties to
accept the law as it now stands or
mot, just as they choose.
Now the question is have these PITT
county democrats. who by formal res
l~olution have expressed a desire to be
lallowed to vote on the Watts law, vot-
led themselves out of the party? VIII
they be classed as independents and
lrenegades? Have they gone contrary
Ito the declaration of h party platform
lon the question of temperance? We can
mot see that they have. Nor can we
lsee hat they ave made themselves
lany the less entitled to be called dera
l~ocrats. Nor do we think hat their
faction should in any way affect the
vote to be cast in hat county for the
democratic nominees. If we are tC

 What can be the difficulty? Are there other arrangements" yet to be made? 1t is wondered if still better arrangements" are to be tried for to locate the office on the reservation part of town?

Congressman Jones, Cushman and others are working for the appropriation, but the ma jority of the House are against it. The opposition is led by Hull of Iowa. Hay of Virginia and Prince of Illinois. The same action was taken on the $lS,000 appropriation for military trail from the Yukon to Coldfoot. The belief is growing in Washington that the Alaska delegate bill will be sure to pass.
