A prominent New Yorker who has
completed an extensive tour of West
Virginia and several southern states
says in an interview that he found
West Virginia Democrats all at sea in
the matter of politics, so much so that
they did not know whom to vote for
the presidential nomination. He thinks
they have changed their mind about
Parker because they have come to the
conclusion that New York does not want
him. He is right about their being at
sea on political questions, but this is
the first animation we had that they
want New York to run this state for
them. They virtually admit that they
have not the necessary ability TO do so
themselves. Since this is true, why not
be content to let the Republicans run
it in the same very successful manner
they have the past several years? There
is no excuse for going away from nome
to get something done, when it can be
done at home.

The Democratic paper says it stands
for Jeirersonian principles and adds
that the Democratic party of to-day
stands for them. 1t must have expert.
enced an awful change since that Demo.
cratic convention here. when such strong
appeals were made TO the convention to
return to the principles of the fathers
and especially of Jefferson. There were
open declarations that the party Of to.
day was not Jefrersonian but had wan.
dered from the ways of the forefathers.
1t is to be inferred that the Democratic
paper is hurting the lie at those old
Democratic war horse. who urged the
party to return to its moorings. Fol.
lowing that it convicts itself of false.

READY
City and Contractors Agree
 to Terms of Contract

All the terms of the contract between the city of Skagway and W. R. Nichols x Co.,, of Tacoma, for the construction of the municipal water system have been agreed upon and the contract will be signed this afternoon and the work begun at once. The select committee having charge of the construction of the system reported last night, through J. R. VanCleve, the chairman, that the agreement was completed,
 The contract was let, as has been stated, to the second lowest bidder, J. NJ. Tanner, the lowest bidder, having been permitted to withdraw it at his own request.
 The original bid of Nichols X Co. was 90 cents for the 1O-inch mains and S5 cents for finch mains, That Of Me- Laren, Dewitt and Bradtl's bid was for S73 cents a foot for all mains. Both of the bidders were requested to bid again on the basis of having the mains six feet under the street grade instead of 6i feet, as provided by the specihca- tions. Nichols & Go. reduced their bid 10 cents per lineal foot, making tt so cents and 75 cents respectively for the IO-ipch and the 4-inch mains. Me- I.aren, Dewitt and Bradtl re'uced their bid to S5 cents for all mains. When Tanners bid was withdrawn, the re- vised bid of Nichols & Co. was ac- cepted
 The committee decided that for sev- eraI reasons the six feet depth is suhi- cient The water that the city will use comes from the ground in the winter time nearly six degrees warmer than that in the reservoir of the old com pany; it will not be exposed to the air at all, but will be kept inclOsed all the the time from the underground spring until it is delivered through the mains; it is proposed to keep a higher pressure on it. Thus the danger from freez- ing will be less. The cost for a six feet depth will be about $500 less than for six inches greater than that, and the time of construction will be reduced.
 The committee having charge of the work was authorized to make minor changes in the plans, provided the cost of the work is not increased The purpose is to put in mains where the most consumers cau be cured.
 It was decided to put hydrants at the corner of every even numbered avenue on State street, and the committee was instructed to secure six new hydrauts for that purpose.

AT COUNCIL
City Fathers Go Through
 Weekly Grind

In addition to receiving the report of the select committee on the water question last night, and receiving an ordinance giving the W. P. x Y. R.. an electric lighting franchise, the council waded through the regular weekly grist of business. Mayor Keller was in the chair and all the council men were present except John Kalem.
 Elias Ruud, engineer in charge of the construction of the water works, reported to the council that a transit valued at s25O had been destroyed at the meeting of the fire department Saturday evening. Chief Johnson and other members of the department were present, and said that the transit was standing on the tripod and that it fell tothe floor when no one was bOthering 1t at all, but as the result of vibrations from the applause that had greeted a singer at the social session which fol- owed the regular meeting of the depart ment.
 The city agrees to purchase a transit and sell it to Mr. Ruud at cost.
 The council ratified the action of the committee on fire aud water in taking no action upon the request Of the Northwest Light x Power Company for permission to erect poles on upper State street and for knowledge as to the proper place to set them, until the council could charge a provision of the ordinance so that the poles would be the same distance from the property line iu the residence portion of the city as in the business section. It was the purpose of the committee not to grant | the permission or to otherwise recog- nfzs that the company had a franchise or other right to occupy the streets. It was decided to notify the officers of the company as to the location of the line at which poles could be set.
 Charles T. Moore was appointed night watchman and s2O per month contributed 10 his salary, W. H. Cleveland was an applicant for the position. but Mr. Moore presented a petition from the business men sub scribing s76 per month to his salary, and he got the job
 The report Of the municipal magis- trate was filed for July, showing col lectious amounting to S467SO.
 The committee on judiciary and elections was given another week on rules and regulations.

There will be no customs support for the Panama this year. The treasury department has listened to the entreat- ies of the Northern Commercial Com rany rather than to the suppIication of she shippers and the recommendations of the collector of customs. The news of the decision was received from the department at Washington today in the shape of a telegram to the collector of customs, and Deputy Collector Hobart a, Juneau wired the information to Deputy Collector Matthew Bridge, of Skagway.

PARKER,s DILEMMA.

Judge Parker, the candidate of the
Democracy for the presidency, is en-
titled to some sympathy. He has
been in what is commonly termed "a
tight box" He was taken up by GER
tain interests. who needed him in
their business and placed before the
party as a candidate for the nominal
ton. At once a great clamor arose
from those who were expected to vote
for him to know where he stood on
public questions.
Since he had never been connected
with public life in a way to make his
views known. and therefore had no
record. this anxiety was but natural.
Here's where the judges difficulties
set in if we grant that he is both
honest and sensitive. If he stated his
position. doing so might be construed
into a bid for the nomination or an
attempt TO dictate to the convention
or both. If he remained silent the
convention might adopt a platform
which would place him in a false
light
With good reason to believe the lat
ter contingency the more remote, he
remained silent The result was con-
trary to reasonable expectations. Then
Judge Parker spoke while there was
still time to choose somebody else.
His course has been in striking con-
trast to that of Grover Cleveland un-
der somewhat similar circumstances.
He waited until it was too late for the
convention to take action and then
repudiated the platform in his letter of
acceptance. The party went right on
and elected him in spite of this and
the majority has regretted it ever
since

NEW RIVER GAUGE.
Mr. Jennings Instructed to Put One
in at Once.

Director Jennings of the govern
ment weather bureau station this
morning received word from Wash
ington directing him to place the new
government river gauge in position
on the Melan bridge at once.
The gauge will be placed on the
east side of the north span of the
bridge in the main channel of the Kaw
river. The gauge will be in the cen
ter of the span and clear of all piers.
The new gauge is constructed with a
weight which is lowered to the top
of the water and is read by noting the
link on the chain and the figures on
the graduated board. The weight can
be lowered to the bottom of the river
to determine the depth of the water
and in future the government read
ings vii lbe the depth of the water in
the river instead of the height above
low water mark The gauge on the
Rock Island bridge is expected to
show the height above low water
mark
