GREAT MINDS DIFFER.

Now comes Prof. John L. Sullivan
 with views tha. do not agree with those recently expressed by President
 Theodore Roosevelt on the subject of education. and with two such
 eminent authorities holding divergent
 views there is surely prospect Of

Well. he. is the gpeat Boston educator ~i,o always insisted that he sad accomplished tbe impossible feat of squaring the circle. iii that he was square. man" in the prize ring.

IL will bs remembered that President Roosevelt declared him. self ig favor of having pupils in all schools sz.ghf 70 shoot. target prae- .iee to f@ r-g.izr part of every course of study.

We don't take a great deal of stock

We don't take great deal of stock in that proposition brought before the Minnesota legislature the other day to compel the branding of all fresh laid eggs by the producer at the point and at the time of produc- ton. It is evidently an insidious attack on the egg industry, and the hens of the State are entitled to be heard before any such measure is rushed through the law mill. Be- sides. how in the world is a hen going to brand her eggs?

Is there nothing sacred from the trusts? Only day or two ago, the story came out of Boston that charges had been made that the American Bible Society was in reality trust, actually controlling the publication and distribution of the Holy Scrip lures. and here comes a report that Fredrick 4. Holbrook. head of the trust, has been arrest ed for conspiracy in restraint of trade in connection with the manu- facture of church pews. May we not find sanctuary from these piratical deyourers even in the church?

The other day the Daily Alaskan said that Alaska contributes more than siel. o0o annually to the United States treasury in tariff and internal revenue taxes. It does much more than that. The figures are about sano. .oap. The custom collections amounted to SIP. 600. The net rev enues from the federal taxes are over sIao. OO0. This takes no account of the license taxes collected from Alaskans. of which nearly million dollars remains in the federal treasury. -Skagway Alaskan.

The Rev. Hutchinson. baptist preacher at Tacoma, predicts the second coming of Christ. which he says will occur in very few months. The world has seen the coming of a second Christ in various guises. but not the second coming of the Christ of holy writ. But should there be a second coming. and the veritable Christ appear among us in person, he would stand a better chance of de- nouncement as an imposter than of being recognized as the Savior of mankind. And it is not at all prob able that the orthodox ministers would tread on each other in frantic effort 10 be first to do Him revernce.

The sus- pension of the schedule in this in- stance was an increase in the service. Tri-weekly stages are found to be inadequate. and SD many extras were required that it was determined to send out stages as the business demanded. For instance. yesterday six four-horse stages got away from Whitehorse for Dawson. Moved. and seconded, that the objectionable word be stricken out. Carried unan- imously.

OPERATORS NOT NEEDED.
Both Local Onlces Employing Practical
 1y Full Forces.

Iy Full FOrce9.
 c. A. Fonville, manager of the Vest ern Union Telegraph Company in Montgomery, said last night that none of the strikers had asked for positions in his office. MT. tonville said ooth- ing of what attitude the local uffice would adopt if any of them should ask for reinstatement.
 The office at present, he said. was in good shape. It employed six first class and one second-class operators. At the time of the strike he had places places were then occupied. even ,p- orators went on strike. He apprshend- ed no trouble in hiring as many opera ators as he might need in the future and for the present the office was hand ling a normal amount of business without difficulty.
 R. S. Goolsby, Chief Operator for the Postal Telegraph Company when interviewed last night. said that the office in which W. A. Sheppard 's manager, would employ former strik- CTS if it needed them and they seemed suitable. It would be required that since they obeyed strike orders they would have conducted themselves prop of intemperate agitation.
 Mir. Goolsby thought, however, that the Postal would probably not have opportunities in the near future to offer positions, though perhaps one operator would be added to their force in the next few weeks.
