Alaskans and Mr. Gale

The indorsement of Delegate Thomas Gale at large mass meeting of citi- zens in Nome was fine tribute to Alaska's representative in the present congress, and again directs attention to the sentiment of the great body of Alaskans on tha subject of home rule.
 Delegate Gale has been untiring in bis efforts to secure the passage of a bill which would provide territorial form of government for Alaska. Citi- zens of Nome, by urging his re election to congress, without regard to political ties, have shown how much they ap preciate his services in this worthy behalf, and how much in earnest they are in the demand Chat Alaska be given fair treatment by the federal govern ment.
 Efforts to discredit MT. Gale look small indeed in comparison with the popular outburSt of public sentiment in his behalf at Nome, and it is per fectly plain that the men who have been standing between Alaska and home rule do not represent the people of Alaska.
 The federal government will get to the truth after while. and Alaska's enemies will be weighed and judged as they deserve to be weighed and judged, aud the final verdict to be en- tered up against them will not be to their credit.-P.-l.

Among the other indignities laid at the door of the Western Federation is the hanging in efigy of Jack McDon- ald, Douglas faithful nashal. At an early hour yesterday morning the nightwatchman discovered the image hanging to a light post on Front street. It was at once cut down and thrown in the bay. How loug are the people of Douglas supposed to stand this kind of thing? How long will they stand having peaceable citizens assaulted ou the street? These ques, tions may be answered now any day, or hour, or minute, and when the an swer comes it will be in no uncertain language.

The value that is put on human life by the U. s. marine inspectors is shown by the penalty applied in the case of Capt. Schage. Three months he is not \to be allowed to endanger the lives of passengers on a ship by rushing upon B reef at full speed. The penalty for the carelessness tbat endangered the lives of hundreds is three months, not solitary confinement at hard labor with bread and water diet, but sim ply enforced idleness for three months. Why not give him a medal and let him go on in his way.

Making attacks on Treadwell miners has become a popular diversion for the bunch of toughs who make their head quarters at the Federation soup house. At least that appears to be the case. Last Monday morning young man who works at Treadwell had been up to Douglas to have some dental work done and was returning home by the way of Third street, probably 10 avoid contact with the gang that loafs around at the lower end of Trout street. When he passed the soup house he was observed by some of the patrons of that institution, who follow ed him to the saw mill where four of them made a most cowardly attack on the one lone man and would have put him out of business had not Mayor O'Counor come along and mixed in. As it was the man was badly cut about the head aud pretty thoroughly fright sned.

The numerous cases of sickness accom- panied in each case by a high fever have caused the people of this city much alarm, and they have begun soinguire if there is not some common cause. Three suspected causes have been suggested: water, milk or filth. There are some few places in the city that are 50 filthy that almost any dis ease might Turk in the foul odors that arise, and those people who will not clean ap their premises should be made to, for ths protection of all. A careful examination of the water from the city muins fails to reveal the least trace of disease germs. The scabby looking COWS that make up the town herd may have given rise to tho suspicion or the milk as Source of danger. One of the physicians of the city has investigated the manner in which the milk is handled aud says that the cans are washed as clean as they can be in cold water, but are then hung up to drain ou old wooden pegs that might harbor enough germs to in- feet the whole town, although he dtd' not say that they did

Silver Plays to the Galleries
States Attorney has Changed His Issues and HAS
IT, Badly SOpped Over

weeks ago it was given out that Mr.
Serumgard would ask for reelection
CT his record. That record is not such
as to give him even a fighting chance
of success and now he has been fore
ed e throw that issue to the winds
and seek for another. In his anxiety
for reelection he has been forced to
slop over and resort TO the cheapest
kind Of cheap politics, that of play
iLg to the galleries in hope of gain
ing his end at the expense of others.
There is only two ways to account
for Mr.. Serumgard making the ao-
quotations he has against the drug
gists of Devils Lake. One of them Is
| that he is leaving no stone unturned
to be reelected even if he has to stoop
to gross Misrepresentation, and that
he has made the statement that he
has so as to create public sentiment at
! the expense of innocent parties. The
other is that he has been mis-inforRn-
ed. We would prefer to think that the
| latter is the real cause for Mr.. Ser
umgards attitude as outlined in the
Journals article, but even if this is the
case it would seem that he should
at least have taken the trouble to see
whether his statement was true before
it was published.
But now along with this comes az
other feature of the question. What
will be the result of the move. VIII
the people swallow thing Of this
\ kind without looking it up. mot If the
court knows herself and we rather
think she do" The result up to date
has been many scathing criticisms Of
i. the procedure not only from the drug
gists but by numerous other business
men and the people in general. There
is no evidence any place to show that
there was any truth In the article az
published and it seems to have been
manufactured purely for the purpose
