Mail Superintendent Marion brings the news that Dawson parties have se- cured the contract for bringing down fresh meat from Circle to the post at Ft. Gibbon. The meat that was aboard the Lithtuing, the boat frozen in near Washington creek, is being freighted to Dawson at 15c. per pound.

These supplies, which consist largely of dog feed, were frozen in on the Flats before they could be distributed prior to the close of navigation.-Rampart Forum.
 Like amessage from the North Pole is strange letter just received by Post master Hartman, of Dawson, from manin the Arctic ocean. The message is in the form of brief letter written in ascrawling hand on a piece of torn letter paper, and asked for information. The letter is from ship, presumably steam whaler. Hershel island, where it was mailed, is at the mouth of the Mckenzie river. The letter evidently was carried over the divide by some Indians or other mushers down the Porcupine to Circle, and then mailed there for Dawson. The letter follows:
 HERscHEL ISLAND, Nov. II, 1903.
 DEAR SIR: Will you kindly tell me who is our next president; tell me of the prizefghts of prominence, the re- suit of the yacht race. If you have any Eastern papers will you kindly send them up to me? J. H. BELYEA, Steamer Bowhead, Herschel Island,

 The people of Haines have been en- deavoring to secure public school for the white children at that place. There is more than S2OO0 contributed to the federal government annually by the business men of that town through the license tax, and the amount mounts up to more than S10,000 when the can neries adjacent to the town are taken into account, yet notwithstanding there is an Indian school maintained at that place, there is not an opportunity for the white children to go to school. The attention of w. A. Kelly, superin' tendent of education for Alaska, was recently called to this condition. He was asked as to the chances of the white people to get a school, and he replied that they were not at all good Many of the Haines citizens are now urging that the place incorporate It is believed that they will be able to count up the required 300 citizens next summer, and if that can be done, petition of 60 will be presented to Judge Brown, praying that he can call an election on tte question. There is some feeling at Haines that the people of that town have not been treated quite fairly by W. A. Kelly. They, it is said, made strong case to him. It was pointed out there are many chil- dren there without the advantages of schooling, while many others have been sent out of the place in order that they might get an opportunity to go to school. Several were sent to Skagway, and others to San Francisco. This causes a depopulation of the town during the winter, and in many ways detracts from it as desirable place in which to live.-Alaskan.

are now at loss "both as to what
they really believe and as to how
firmly they shall assert their be-
lief in anything" As soon as
they raise one issue they shrink
from it and try to explain that they
did not mean what they said. The
St. Louis platform calls tariff for
protection "robbery," but the St.
Louis candidate backs and tacks on
that question SO that no one can
tell, not even himself, which side
he faces Oh it. The platform
makers at St. Louis lodged silver
and then the candidate, clubbed
by the New York press into a
pretended devotion to gold, en-
CLAIMS that the gold standard is
established, although he voted and
worked for the silver standard in
two canvasses and even now dare
not say whether he is glad or
sorry that he and his party were
beaten in those campaigns.
All these contortions and eva
sions by the Democrats give the
president chance to show that he
and his fellow Republicans "do
not have to guess at our own con-
victions and then correct the guess
if it seems unpopular. The princi-
pies which we profess are those in
which we believe with heart and
soul and strength" The Republi-
cans in the future will carry on
the government same lines on
which they conducted it in the
past, dealing with new issues
courageously, honestly and intelli-
gently as they arise. The war with
Spain, which was not an issue in
the canvass of 1896, was dealt with
by the Republican government
elected in that year in way which
the American people haze ap-
plauded. Nobody foresaw the
Panama issue during the campaign
of 1900, but the party which car.
ried the country in that year met
that issue as it arose and settled it
in a manner which instantly won
the approval of even the party's
political enemies. Recklss and
inscriptions as the Democracy is
it did not have the hardihood at St
Louis to demand that the Panama
canal negotiations, which the
Roosevelt administration and the
Roosevelt party had carried to
accomplishment, shonldb egiven uE

REPUBLICANS AND UNl0NISM.

The sensible, thoughtful mem

there is nothing in the record OF

since he became governor to justify
the charge that he is out of sympa.
thy with fair, law-abiding labor
unions.
1t is only when labor organiza-
ton puts itself in hostility to the
law that it is opposed by the Re-
publican party or by any of its
candidates. If because of this
opposition a member of labor
union condemns the attitude of
the Republican party, he must
thereby uphold and excuse the
illegality which the party condemns

the nation which has enforced the
economic policy that in turn has
made the great development of our
