CLEVELAND FOR GOVERNOR

The latest campaign story is the proposition to nominate Ex-President Cleveland for governor of New Jersey, The suggestion is made by Ex-SenatOr Smith, who has charge of the New
 Jersey democracy just now. While it is not likely that Cleveland will accept the nomination, he would have ample precedent for re-entering public life. James Monroe was elected justice of the peace for his precinct in Virginia, after he had been minister to France, secre- tary of state and twice president. After

uThe advisability of surrendering tGe municipal charter is being seriously discussed at Dawson. Many of the heaviest taxpayers insist that it is a question of surrendering the charter or reducing the public expenses. Dawson should import some city councilmen from Skagway. They would then be shown how to conduct an effective city government, keep taxes down and have money in the treasury at the same time. That is a combination which is as satisfactory as it is rare.

QUESTION OF PRESS RATES

Since the visit of Gen. Greedy to skagvay and the disclosure of the fact that the rates over the United States cable for press matter from Seattle to this ,place will be higher than they are over the Canadian wire to Dawson or Skagway, the Daily Alaskan has been repeatedly asked for statement Of the actual differences in therates obtaining.
 The toll for press matter over the United States cable from Seattle to skagway or Juneau, as it has been es- tablished, is three cents a word.
 The toll over the cable from Skag- way to Juneau is one cent a word.
 The toll over the Canadian line from Ashcroft to Dawson or WhitehOrse is one cent a word.
 The toll from Vancouver, B. C., to Ashcroft is oue-third of a cent word.
 The toll from Seattle to Vancouver is one-third of a cent a word,
 The toll from WhitehOrse to Skag- way is three-fOurths of a cent word.
 The toll from Dawson to Whitehorse is one cent a word.
 By comparing these figures, it will be seen that the Dawson papers can get news from Vancouver, the metropolis of Western Canada, for one and one third cents word. The Skagway papers will have to pay three cents a word to get news from Seattle, the Northwestern American metropolis. Sxacway papers can secure the news from Dawson, as prepared by the Cana dian Associated Press for the Dawson plpers, for one and three-tOurths cents A word. The same news or a specially prepared report can be secured from Vancouver at two and One-twelith cents a word. The news can be secured from Seattle, over the Canadian wire, for two and fve-twelfths cents word, as against three cents over the American cable.
 The Daily Alaskan contends that the United States should permit the people of Southeastern Alaska to secure the news from Seattle, the nearest Ameri. can city, to them, as cheaply as Canada permits the people of the KlOndike to get it from Vancouver, the nearest Ca nadian city, or one and one-third cents a word. At the very least, the rate over the cable should make it so we could get an American news service from Seattle as cheaply as we can Ca nadian news service from Dawson or Vancouver, which is one and three- fourtEs cents a word from the former place or two and one-twelfth cents from the latter place. As la matter of fact, we can get a service from Seattle more chesply over the Canadian line than we will be able to over the cable.
 That is the situation with reference to the cable rates as plainly as the Daily Alaskan can state it, and it is a matter that concerns all those who are readers of the daily papers as greatly as it does the papers themselves.
