There is a fact about King Alfonso

since he is much spoken Of these days
it is not amiss to know his name.

THAT CLIPPING.

The Yukon Valley News never said it has had in its possession for months past" a clipping which it referred to in it's last issue. IL did not say the alleged mining company was about to be organized" It said nothing untrue or misleading. What it did say was-in rather ineegant language. perhaps that the clipping had been showed to the paper in confidence" etc.
 j. B. wiugutc has known all along that the clipping he professes ignorance of Is not in the po~se>sion of the Yukon Valley News. He knew at least the substance of its con tents. He knew a swiudle was being perpe- tratsd or attempted. and that hts name vas connected with it. He did not print the facts In the Forum. The Yukon Valley News did not print them because to da So would have made it a traitor. ta time every aSser- tion maic hy The Yukon Valley News will he proven true.

WINGATE'S HAND IN THE HOOSIER
 CONCERN.

It is hard to suppress feeling of pity for J. B. Wingate. His character is so palpably defective that it seems mere wantonness to bring it into publicity.
 The man, in some respects, is enigma. For instance: The Yukon Valley News made the statement that Mir. Robins, it is said, was left us caretalxer, only, of the Rampant City company's property, and was unauthorized to make the agreement he did for the re- moval of the property to Hoosier. If it is true that Mr. Robins had no authority, then Messrs. Traeger, Wand and Duncan, with whom Robins agreed, are the ones who stood to lose heavily by Robins's unauthor- ized acts. The Forum itself dwells on this self-evident point. Therefore it looks like the Forum is trying to plead insanity when it says the Valley News's statement regard ing Mir. Robins implied collision on the part of Traeger, Wand and Duncan. Would they conspire to ruin themselves, or place them selves in jeopardy? It is too ridiculous to dwell upon.
 Here is more plausible statement of the case: Last fall Robins fell in with Wingate, Monroe, ct al They induced him to join the Monroe Mining and Matrimonial association which Monroe was to work outside last win ter. Then Mir. Wingate persuaded Mir. Rob- ns to assume full authority over the Ram D., acting as a kind of confidential adviser to everybody concerned, engineered the deal between Robins and the Hoosier association, just as he had the one previously entered into between Monroe and that association, greatly to the advantage of Mir. Monroe. Having progressed so far, Wingate planned to wreck the enterprise, and inveigled Don aid Mclean, against the dictates of his own conscience and the claims of friendship and the most sacred obligations, to assist in the destruction. This l believe to be the truth It is impossible that should know it to be absolutely correct in every particular. If Donald Mclean, without consultation with Mir. Wingate, will come and tell me that so far as he is concerned my conclusions are false; that he had not been advised or per- suaded or induced by Mir. Wingate to cross the interests of the Hoosier hydraulic coali- tion, then in these columns I will tell the public that I have probably done Mir. Me Lean great injustice; and MT. Wingate will also be welcome to such vindieation as the admission may imply.

DECLARATION OF WAR.

War can only be excused a means for securing the blessings of peace liberty and justice.
 Now this is declaration of war. The rgor and mercilessnesS of devil will mark this line of the battle. No quarter will be asked. few non-combatants are bound to get hurt It is too bad; but it is always so in war.
 For a long time in this community strife, intimidation and intrigue have been at the heels of every individual who failed to sur render his Cor herr very soul into the keep ing of a certain clique with certain head, well known to all residents.
 The Indians. even, were not exempt. The native prostitute who failed to get right" with the gang was speedily made to feel the heavy hand of its displeasure: wit ness the strictures on Big Lucy" in the Alaska Forum the past winter. The one who bestowed her favors on an approved man" was upheld: witness the defense of Moose Mary" in the same paper, which secured the services of John Minook to applaud the white mans benevolence in keeping her warm.
 No business venture, great small; no affair of private life, which people were 10th to have dragged before the public; no calumny on the living or dishonor to the dead, has been passed up when it could be made to serve some mean purpose.
 Jurors in the local courts have taken their seats with a consciousness that duty well performed would subject them to a flashing from many tongues, every one set to wagging by the pulling of a single string
 By every cunning art of iattery and prom ised favor, base insinuation and hints at dark and intangible wrong, the minds of men have been poisoned till the innocent are apprehensiye and the guilty or the weak submissive to their master.
 By the time this fight is finished there will he an improvement in conditions. The prec- edent of personal journalism was long ago established by the Forum.

With such a prolific crop of candi-

that there are only two aspirants for

chances of success are so evenly di-
vided between Messrs. Williams and

the present rate there cannot be such

There is no reason or justice IN the

There is not much evidence that the
Democrats Of the North have de-
manded that candidates for the ma
tional ticket shall hail from that sec
tion, though of course they are ever
ready 10 supply the material. While
the South furnishes probably the
largest number of votes polled for the

its own volition and iii accordance
with its best Judgment abstaned
thus far from presenting its statesmen

preaching campaign, that judgment
has been correct. The South has had
the odium of secession to contend
against, then came the so-called ne
gro problem with which the mass Of
Northern and Western people and
voters have been permeated with all
of its false prejudices. Under such
conditions it would be folly to
expect a Southern man, however able
and popular, to receive majority of
votes in the electoral college for
president We must first have clean
Democratic national administration,
remove all political and financial
preiudices and assure the country
that the Democratic party is the par

The Republican State Convention

recommended an extension of the
grandfather clause of the consti-
tuition Of that State, which viii ex-

that party who dwell in the mountain
districts. 1t was stated that two
years was not sufficient for them to
acquire the educational qualification,
and without the proposed extension
they would be disfranchised entirely.
This grandfather clause has been de-
nounced by the Republican press and
party throughout the country in un-
measured terms, and thus we have the
anomaly of the first request for its
extension from the Republicans them
