PECULIAR CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Speaker Cannon spoke to the Porto Ricans recently on their own territory and very earnestly promised them lf-government, yet he has not a word of hope to asy to the Americans of Alaska What is there about the negroes of the West Indies, the yellow men of the Orient and the Kanakas of the Pacific isles that call forth patriotic interest that our statesmen deny to Americans in the North? The demand for self-govern- ment is far more nearly unanimous in Alaska than it is in any of these newly acquired islands. Our popu- lation, unlike the mottled people of the other non-contiguous American possessions, is made up of white men and women, who not only have had experience in government, but who are the chilrden of generations of self-governing ancestors. Yet, we are denied rights that are inher- tent in our citizenship and race which are granted the others for the asking.
 This is a very peculiar phase ol modern American statesmanship. -Skagway Alaskan.

THE STEUNENBERG MURDER.

Now that the wires are kept warm with reports of the progress of the trial of Mover, Haywood and Pettibone charged with the assassination of ex- governor Steunenberg, of Idaho, a brief su mmary of the case as it stands will enable the reading public to better understand and appreciate the reports yet to come:
 Ex-Gov. Steunenberg was murdered by the explosion of bomb as he entered his own dooryard at Caldwell Idaho, on the night of Dec. 30, 1905, and the man who is said to have confessed that he committed the crime, Harry Orchards, was arrested three days afterward, and Mover, Haywood and Pettibone, implicated by Orchard in his alleged confession, were arrested within eight weeks of

This from the Woman's National
 Daily tells story of congressional
 thrift which stands alone in the
 annals of congress as being entirely
 out of the regular order as applied
 to the thrift usually attained by men
 in the public service. The story is of one William L. Tyndall, who was
 elected to represent the fourteenth
 Missouri district in the last congress,
 and who, according to his own asser-
 tion, saved over $l1, GOO of his two years pay and is going into the
 banking business. If the same homely,, common sense governs him
 in business as has ruled his brief political career, he will be heard
 from in the financial world. Mir. Tyndall says he recognized that his election to congress two years ago was in the nature of an accident, and there wasn't one chance in thousand of h is reelection. With this as a starting point he did not see why he should go cavorting about the capital.
 attending tea parties and poker seances. The salary looked good to him, and he thought it would fit his pocket very nicely, and there is where he put it. He didn't take his family to Washington with him, but left them at home in Springfield. In Washington he lived quietly at a small boarding house, and took especial pains that hobnobbing with big bugs should not swell his head or puff up his pride. He didn't go to any sort of social entertainments, and when it was suggested by colleague when Roosevelt was inaug- urated that they ought to all buy high silk hats for the occasion, he anwsered: "What? Me buy a silk hat and my wife at home boiling soap? Not me!'' That is the key note to his conduct while in Wash ington. He did not see why he should live any different tly there than in Missouri. That he made it pay is shown by the fact that out of his salary and emoluments he has saved nearly or quite $500 a month. That looks like good, hard. horse sense.

A Good Idea. Father Duncan will soon have a survey of the land adjac- ent to Metlakahtla made, with view to it's allotment in tracts of suitable size to those of his people who may
 wish to engage in horticulture, for
 which the soil is especially we'll adapted. In his opinion, the time has come when his people must seek other means of livelihood that those pertaining to fishing, hunting, and trapping, and now that there is a market at hand for all the soil. can be made to produce their industry and endeavor can be turned in that di- rection with better chances for profitable returns than in any other presenting itself for their consider ation. Ketchikan and the mining camps will afford them a ready and profitable market for their vegetables, berries, etc., all of which can be grown on the island to maturity and in great profusion. Indeed, the small gardens which have heretofore been cultivated by the Metlakahtla people will compare favorably with any to be found in the most fretile regions of Washington and Oregon, and the berries grown by them are noted for their size and fire flavor.

In its qualification over the enter.
 prise of it's own people and the rapid
 rebuilding of its town, which has
 risen, phoenix like, from the ashes
 to which it was reduced by fire year
 ago, it appears to The Miner that the Wrangell Sentinel could well have afforded to omit the following uncall- ed for and wholly untruthful fling at it's nearest neighbor Neither have we forgotten the niggardly, hide bound spirit which characterized that charitable (?) city down the channel when she sent up over $2O0 with a haul back line attached, nor the six percent emissasry who brought it. y Were these remarks, indeed true,
 the Sentinel should have been charit- able enough to have withheld their
 utterance at so late day. But the
 fact is that they are either wholly
 unjust, or if applicable at all, should
 be applied to single individual who
 is neither a resident or property
 owner in Ketchikan, but more of a
 Wrangellite than anything else so far
 as the two towns are concerned. The
 facts upon which the Sentinel bases
 it's slur are these: When the word came to the people of Ketchikan that
 Wrangell had been completely de-
 stroyed by fire, and that many of her people had lost their all and were in distress, the people of this town lost no time in raising something over S2OO for their relief. A gentleman,
 who had formerly resided in Wrangell and who it was believed would best
 comprehend the situation when he should arrive on the ground, was
 commissioned to carry Ktechikan's contribution to Wrangell, and see to
 it, personally, that the money was disbursed for the purpose for which
 it was given by the donors. When the messenger, whose character for truthful integrity is above and beyond
 reproach, returned he brought the
 money back with him, for the reason,
 as he stated, that the Wrangell people, instead of consenting that it might and should be used for the purpose for which it had been sub scribed and paid, insisted that it should be turned over to the muni- cipal authorities, to be used in pay ment for strips of land owned or claimed by certain parties, and which were necessary to the widening of the principal business street of the town. and over which there has since been much litigation and wrangeling This, the gentleman declined to do, and finding little or no suffering to be relieved, he very naturally, and properly, brough the money back and returned it to the donors. AnG that was all there was to it, so far as The Miner has been able to ascertain. That the hearts of the good people | of Ketchikan were in the right place is attested by the subscription itself that the gentleman who acted as their messenger was guilty of any conduct

he commission of the murder.

the commission of the murder.
 The delay in bringing the men to trial has been advantageous to the de- fense, in that it enabled the Federa- tion attorneys to reach Steve Adams, who was the chief corroborating wit ness of Orchard, through the formers uncle, who was allowel to visit him at the penitentiary. Adams recanted his confession, and upon application for writ of habeas corpus he was given his liberty and one of the State's most important witnesses was lost..to the State and gained by the defense. Both of these important points gained by the defense were the result of carrying out careful and we'll laid plans by the Federation attorneys.
 Mover, Haywood and Pettibone, who had been implicated by Orchards confession as the instigators of the Steunenberg murder, were arrested at night in Denver upon a acquisition of the Governor of Colorado and hurried on a special train to Boise. The three l men were charged with being accom- plices of Orchard, and under the statutes of Idaho an accomplice is held equally guilty with the principal and if convicted may receive the same punishment. It was this point that stirred up so much antagonism to the action of the Idaho authorities, that they later were forced to charge the men with the actual commission of the crime, when it was known that neither of them had been in the State for months, for if Orchards confess on be true, then under the Idaho law they are in fact equally guilty with Orchard.
 No sooner had the Federation officials been lodged in the Idaho penitentiary for safe keeping than Federation attorneys from Denver and Spokane started for Boise. On arriv- ing there they sought to release the prisoners by invoking the aid of the
 writ of habeas corpus. They filed
 the first application in the District Court, where after argument, the
 writ was denied. An appeal was then taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. About
 this time application was made for
 the writ in the United States District Court in Boise before Judge Beatty. After hearing Judge Beatty denied the writ, and an appeal was taken to
 the Supreme Court of the United
 States, making two appeals pending
 before the court of last resort. Fin ally the supreme court handed down an opinion sustaining the decision o1
 the Idaho courts in holding the pris.
 oners to answer to the charges anG stand trial in Idaho.
 Although that decision was render ed last fall the mandate did not arrive until the middle of March. For the last six months, Mover, Haywood and Pettibone have beer confined in the county jail at Boise They were allowed to take exercise on the court house lawn several time.

While Orchards confession } is considered the cheif testimony 7 against the prisoners, it is said that cipher letters and telegrams iron l them found in Orchards trunk in the } Caldwell depot few days after his } arrest may be of even more import

Judge Wickersham said to the grand jury in Valdez, practically that gamblingis a misdemeanor with which, so long as it is handled by the municipal authorities, the federal courts have no right to interfere. The saving clause in the courts declaration in this instance is the implied ''if' the municipal author ities make and enforce laws which they are authorized to make in the premises. It is not at all likely that if the common councils of the respec- tive municipalities enact ordinances. to regulate and rstest. an gambling and select officials who will make honest efforts to enforce such ordinances, the federal courts will, with or without right, feel called upon to interfere, except in case Of appeal.

Well, it is scarcely believeable. Washington dispatches credit "prom- ienent republican" with the asser- tion that many large corporation are behind the movement to elect William J. Bryan president. While it is true that politics sometimes makes strange bedfellows, Byan and the corporations lying down together would be the strangest illustration o1 that fact ever known to the American people.

10 TEACHES A LESSON.

At the recent constitutional con- ventiOn of the new state of Oklahoma. Lo, the poor Indian, turned neat and unexpected trick on his white neighbors, and now bids fair to direct the destinies of the new state to his own liking for some time to come Incidentally he furnises fine lesson
 The white delegates were of the usual stamp. The Indian delegates were spick and span young men, most of them lately home from college. They wore tailor made. clothes and they had some genius for planning things. As result almost before he knew anything was going on, the rural delegate found himself side tracked, while To gravely plotted county lines, giving himself all the advantage in representation, made the whole state prohibition, and gen. erally helped himself to offices and perquisites. Oklahoma looked on in open mouthed wonder for few mo- ments and then beloved her indigna- tion--but Lo had turned the trick. It is never wise to underestimate the other fellow.

Mrs. Anna Kastrometinoff, for
 many years resident of Sitka, died at her home in that place on the 10th inst. She was the mother of George
 Kastrometinoff, who for nearly 20 years subsequent to the establishment of civil government in Alaska, was official interpreter for the court and civil officials, and who is now engag- ed in business at Sitka. Mrs. Kastro- metinoff came to Alaska from Russia long before the transfer of the country to the United States, her husband being a prominent and trusted employe of the old Russian-American company. Madam Kastrometinoff was dignified and stately figure in Sitka, and highly educated in the Russian language, though she never made any effort to acquire much knowledge of the English. Among the poor of her own country folk she was ever an angel of merciful kind- ness, performing many deeds of un- austentations charity, even to the adoption of number of. fatherless and motherless children for. whom she cared and provided nutil they were able to take care of themselves. Though somewhat of recluse in her later years, she held to the end the respect and esteem of all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was about 80 years of age.

The Ninth annual convention of the Wisconsin and Upper Peninsula of Michigan Brewers association, held at Milwaukee last week, adopted a resolution for which it has been much praised, and which, if it is supported by action, will merit the words of approv al used in regard to it. It is as follows: "That this con- vention heartily congratulate the many brewing associations in states and cities that have taken the lead in n,'" ai oa tin" le-- I vile reeo"+~ and in refusing to supply beer to saloons that were not approved by the public sentiment of their respective com munities. o If associations of brewers will genreally carry out the senti- ments expressed in the above there is no doubt that they can greatly inn prove the status of the saloon bus mess, for they are pretty much in control of the retail liquor traffic.

Ketchikan sent the $200 and more to relieve the people of Wrangell who were supposed to be in distress, and not to help either to rebuild the town or to transform it's principal ram's- horn into the semblance of something like a decent street. It would almost seem as if a sense of ordinary de- cency should have been sufficient to restrain the Sentinel from alluding to matter truthful explanation of which is not likely to redound very hlhgly to the credit of it's own town.
 
 As it Should be.-Heretofore the ,Ietlakahtla natives have been refused licenses as masters, pilots and engin- eres of steamers and other craft, not withstanding they had declared their intentions to become citizens of the United States. Under the law as it stood they could not be granted such license, which were only allowed to those in possession of their final naturalization papers, which they have been unable to obtain. Many of them are qualified as masters, pilots and engineers, and the disqualifica- tion referred to has been a peculiar hardship upon them which. however, congress has remedied by the passage of an act, approved by the president on the last day of the session, which provides that "all Indians of the Tsimpsean or Haida tribe of the | full or mixed blood who emigrated 1 from British Columbia and settled al II Metlakahtla on Annette island, ir southeastern Alaska, in the veal eighteen hundred and eighty-seven and subsequent years, as well as al decendants of such Indians, and resi- dents of said Metlakahtla, Alaska, shall, if otherwise qualified, be- --entit- ! led to receive and obtain licenses as masters, pilots, and engineers. a

The weather Well, The Miner gives up the effort to keep track of it's many sudden and unexpected mutilations. One day The Miner re- marked that it would say no more about the snow until it ceased falling. We'll, the cessation occurred almost before the paper went to press, and immediately following mention of the fact accompanied with some re- marks concerning the glorious spring weather the next day, before the ink was dry the snow came again with a rush.
