WHY?

"At the time Mir. Wickersham' S name was sent up before, there was not a voice against the confirmation from Fairbanks, but the objections all came from other portions of Alaska, from men who did not believe that Mir. Wicker sham was the proper person to represent the Third Judicial District. .'-Fairbanks Sunday Times.
 Indeed. Why was there not d voice from Fairbanks against the confirmation when Mir. Wickersham's name was sent up before?
 Why was it that men from other DOT tions of Alaska were so solicitous for a proper person to represent the Ihlrd Judicial District, while the people of Fairbanks were so careless of their own well being?
 If the people of Fairbanks knew a year ago Wickersham was not a proper man to represent them why didn't they say so?
 If they didn't know it then, why didn't they? Men from other portions of Alaska knew as much about it then as they do now.
 If the people-say-of Seward penin- sula and more distant localities could sniff rottenness on every passing breeze from the Panama, why could not those at the very source of the stench smell it also? And if they did, why didn't they cough?

TWENTY-DOLLAR GOLD PIECE.

Rampant has been all torn up for ten days past over question that dates at least as far back as Bryan's celebrated silver campaign of 1896.
 Does twenty-dollar gold piece con tain twenty dollars worth of gold?" That is the proposition that friends in siSt the Yukon Valley News shall an swcr. In doing so the paper wishes to remind it's readers that they need not accept the answer as final;
 No; it does not. \ twenty-dollar gold piece contains l64.4 grains of gold and 5l 6 grains of baser metal, making the total weight 5l6 grains or l.O75 ounce. The entire coin is worth twenty dollars, because it actually i- twenty dollars, just u- |, exists Therefore the goli in the cuin Is worth twenty dollars minus the actual value ut the hascr metal, To ar- rive at the value oi the g'l'l tn tlsr piece it [. necessary q" determine the value oi the 5t6 grains pf ha.eE metal, which i- a task we shall uet .st nsr~,lyr- tu do.

A DIFFERENCE.

In October at Brighton, a suburb of Denver, Col, the spectacle of d member of the judiciary being dragged about by d mob and forced to rescind an official order was witnessed by the populace.
 At Nome about the same time re- port that labor union went on a strike to coerce court-at the critical period of the beginning of winter, when the food supply of the camp had to be un- loaded-caused much indignation. To the credit of the labor union the report proved to be false The Nome case is only cited to show how quickly the so- called better class of people in Alaska- tine richer class-would resent the CO., crciun of court if they were the ones to be inconvenicnccd by the coercion.
