But they should be careful lest their zeal lead them to error. Territorial government for Alaska is the issue. They should wage unrelenting war upon those who seek to withhold terri torial government from them; but they should not allow the contest to fall to the low level of narrow and bitter political quarrel.
 Alaska must have a territorial form of government. It should have been granted before now. It would have been granted but for the influence of men who persist in taking the wrong view of Alaska's needs. So long as these men persist in a wrong course, they cannot expect the sympathy and support of Alaskans. They must be repudiated and put out of Alaska's s way, but Alaskans must do this work in decent and orderly fashion, for otherwise they may weaken a just cause and give the color of injustice to a cause essentially right in charact- CT and purpose.
 The trend of Alaska politics is healthy and hopeful. The Juneau con- vention can and should solve the whole question of territorial government for Alaska. The demand should be plain, straight from the shoulder, but oigni. fled with it all, and free from any sug- gestion of political taint or marrow personal bias. Demands thus made will be needed at the national capitol, and Alaska will secure from the feder. al government the same fair treatment every other territory has received from the very foundation of the Amer ican republic. p Post- -Intelligencer.

GOVERNOR HUGHES

No recent contribution to the politi- cal literature of the day, says the Marquette (Mich.) Mining Journal, has been read with greater interest or more favorably commented upon than the address of Governor Hughes at the dinner recently given in his hon. or by the Republican club of New York. It was review of his admin istration and setting forth of some of his personal ideas about politics and politicians; lastly and most important it showed his attitude toward the pres idential nomination, in connection with which his name has been much mentioned.
 This attitude he makes very clear. There is no mistaking it. He is not candidate in an active sense. He explicitly says that "I shall not seek, either directly or indirectly, to inhu- ence the selection or vote of any dele gate to any convention" Here, obvi- ously, we have the national conven- tion included. Yet the whole tenor of Governor Hughes address leaves no doubt that he is a passive candi- date, and that were he nominated he would accept the honor at its full worth, be an energetic candidate and devote his whole strength and power to doing himself credit in the office.
 It is generally assumed that public life has glamour that is irresistible; 1; that once embarked on it a mans am- bitions are aroused that it is his dear est wish to progress in it. In contra diction to this idea Governor Hughes says that public office, at least in a position of such responsibility as gov ernor of New York, is burden, Ia burden of incessant toll, at times al- most intolerable, which under honor- able conditions and at the command of the people may be duty and even a pleasure to assume, but it is far from being an object of ambition. /"
 This, and in fact the whole tone of Governor Hughes address, is so aloof and disinterested that were almost any other man the speaker it would be generally regarded as buncombe, but so firmly has Governor Hughes impressed the country with his sheer
 ty that it will at once accept his words as earnest, strai ghtforward and wholly honest.
 Governor Hughes is today a factor in the presidential race, and a very considerable one In all test polls so far taken he has developed great strength, being next after Taft in this showing of popularity, and his strength has suggested that had any thing like the work been done in his behalf that has been done for Taft they would be nearly on an equal foot ing. There is feeling of great ad- miration for this strong, resourceful. clean-lived and clean-minded governor abroad in the land, and confidence that if the developments should be such that he were nominated and elected to the presidency he would carry out all the fair promise of his public service in New York.

ALASKA'S ANNIVERSARY

The observance of the fortieth ami versary of the raising of the American flag over Alaska by the Alaska club, of Seattle, is of more than usual sig nificance at this time. Not yet do the American people fully appreciate the real value of this rich possession, and not yet has the American government shown that intimate care for Alaska s material and moral welfare it should have shown long since.
 But the light is breaking in upon the northern country. Forces are re- shaping the vast empire of natural wealth. Lines of communication are being opened up. New veins of wealth are being shaped and exploited. Trade centers are building. Shrewd railroaders are eager to press their lines to the new sources of wealth, and, in fact, everywhere energies are making for greater Alaska to be no longer looked upon as a stranger to the blessings of our constitutional sys- tem and a friendless orphan, of alien parentage, in the cold and cheerless north for in the day to come, near day of goodness and national sanity, Alaska will be accorded those rights which Alashans are entitled to demand and receive at the hands of the feder al government.
 What Alaska may be forty years from now, no man is desperate enough to guess: indeed, if some man, know ing the personalities and possibilities of the northern country, should ven- ture a guess in this behalf, there are sane men in this country who would look upon him as dreamer of dreams, impossible of fruition. But, finally, whether the federal government shall discharge its obligations early or late, Alaska will fully meet the expecta- tions of those who are now seeking the just constitutional rights of the territory, and who, in season and out of season, sing Alaska's praises and battle valantly for Alaska's rights Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

REPAIRING THE PUMP

When Rudyard Kipling advises us to ''pump in European emigrants; pump them in, as a preventative to the yellow peril, one is inclined to smile. We have been pumping them in at the rate of more than a million year and we find that with the desir- able element there is lot of bilge water quite as offensive as, or more so, than the "yellow peril" It is now the governments aim to reduce the pumping process until we can find the source of, and cut of, this bilge water. European anarchists and crim- inals are worse than Chinese and Jap anese coolies, for the latter seggregate themselves, while the former settle in respectable and law-abiding commun- ities, to the great detriment of society.
 There are unquestionably millions of honest, hardworking foreigners who would be glad enough of an opportun- ity to locate in this land of liberty, but their governments discourage any movement calculated to allure them from their native heath.
 Out of the investigation which is now being made of our immigrant laws there may be evolved a plan which will furnish the pleading south and other industrial sections that now complain of scarcity of labor an in- Aux of Europeans who will adapt themselves to our customs and learn to love and respect our institutions. Of that class we already have many, and we cannot have too many.

Lacking much of his former vigor and showing clearly the effects of his disappointment in connection with the Reynolds interests, exGov. Brady ar- rived on the Portland from Seattle this morning. Countless friends greet ed him about town today, offering ex- pressions of goodwill and sympathiz- ing with him because of his misfor- tunes.
 Ex-Gov. Brady bears but scant re- semblance to his former self. He is broken in spirit and feels keenly his part in dragging others to financial ruin with him. He has lost all in the Valdez venture, but probably does not feel this as keenly as the fact that through word and act of his, countless friends have been placed in like pos tion.
 To friend today, he said: 1T have lost everything and am now returning to Sitka to start all over again. |" This is the feature of his case which appeals so strongly to his friends. Over 70 years of age, practically pen niless and obliged at this time of his life to retrace steps of former days his case is indeed pathetic and has excited much comment among his friends in Juneau.
 Unable to return to Boston and bear the finger of scorn pointed at him by friends of the clergy, no choice re- mains but to return to Sitka an old and broken man, to attempt to once more build up his standing to that of former days.
 Friends do not hold the governor responsible for the ruination of his Boston associates. It is held that Reynolds being able to inufence an entire community as he did at Valdez, had no difficulty in forcing Brady to a firm belief in the glorious success of the various undertakings. Brady is not man of business. according to
The Ketchikan miner., 1907-11-09

even his closest friends, and that he did not really understand the inner affairs of the interests which he at tempted to promote, is their belief.
 One friend remarked today, that if Brady had remained clear of entangle- ment with Reynolds that he would in all probability still be governor of Alaska. This opinion is held by many others who deeply regret Brady's mis- fortune and who look upon him as a victim of misplaced confidence. Jun eau Dispatch.

MINING IN FOREST RESERVES

MINING IN FOREST RESERVES
 An Idaho correspondent of the En- gineering and Mining Journal, writ ing to that paper on the subject of mining in forest reserves, says:
 "The recent articles on this subject in the Journal have led me to investi- gate the matter in Idaho. I do not find that the department has, as yet, refused to issue patents to mineral lands within the lines of the forest reserves, but find that it is the prac- tice to send an agent of the Forestry Division to look into the merits of mineral applications for patent. These agents do not appear to know very much about the business, and have, as a consequence, caused some ill feel- ing. One occurrence is that of the Federal Mining and Smelling com- dany, which is developing large

Joseph Carter, Seattle husband used to get drunk and beat his wife, but he has solemnly promised not to do so any more. The wife tied him fast while he was asleep a few nights ago, and then whaled him with the soft end of an ash broom stick, until he cried for mercy, and took thous- and solemn oaths never to hit her again.

The average price of copper during the twenty years preceding the last big rise was about thirteen and one- half cents pound. Considering that the normal level of commodity prices has risen greatly within decade, and bearing in mind especially the enorm- ous increase in gold production as an influence upon prices, the red metal is now selling farther below that aver age than the figures in cents reveal. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that the tendency for the future will be upwards, and that the new normal price for the metal is better than the autumn pessimist would have US think. Nevertheless, there is DO good reason for laying one's plans according to the price standards set up last year. The usual cost of production is not great enough to justify such phenomenal rates. The wise producer is he who figures close to the average, even in the days of the utmost prosperity.- Mining Record.

Thirty years ago the ship Thomas Dickason sailed from New Bedford and never returned, being wrecked while whaling in the Octotsk Sea. There has just been received at New Bedford large piece of one of the Dickason's harpoons, which was found embedded in the blubber of an enorm- ous whale taken in the same sea last summer. The harpoon bore the name of the ship and was as bright and keen as when thrown thirty years since. The whale seemed to be cheer ful and in good health.

A DREAM OF GLASS DIAMONDS.
Officials Admit Substitutions in the Her
mitage Museum.

st. Petersburg. oct. 29.-The remarkable sub
sitution of relics Of value in the Hermitage
Musem. in this city, has been revealed, accord
ing TO a current story. by means Of a dream. and
the matter has attracted much attention from
the superstitious lower classes of the capital
A subscriber to the "Znamya" wrote a letter
TO the paper saying that for three night in
cession he visited by the phantom of the
early custodian Of the treasures, who complained
Of their disappearance. The treasures consist
of a collection of gold medals struck off by the
various enpcrors of Russia in memory of great
historical events. as well number of antique
gold coins found in excavations in Southern
Russia. The phantom" complained that these
had been replaced by copper replicas. and sad
according to the writer that number of the
diamonds belonging to the crown rcgalia stored
in the Hermitage Museum, and valued at $1O,-
600 900, had been replaced by glass limitations.
The publication of this dream" followed
at once by semi official denials, but to-day it
was admitted that the medals and coins had
been substituted because of the danger of their
theft by revolutionsts. The originals. it is de-
cIared. are stored in safety The disappearance
of a Jewel headed cane which belonged to Peter
the Great reported by the phantom" also is
admitted, and many persons believe that the
phantom may be right regarding the regala
diamonds
