Mr. Haas says Heney ruined him by calling him an ex.convict. If MT, Heney was wrong in the statement Mir Haas might have turned the ta. bles on Heuey and at least done something to harm if not ruin him for making false statement. while at the same time correcting before the public the false impression. If he was an ex-convIct it would seem that Haas ruined himself by being such and this is the more probable. At any rate he has made a mess of it this time. By his act whereby he expected to get even he has replae. ed Heuey in public esteem and sym pathy and put himself out of the game entirely in most dlsagreeable manner and left wife and family to shift for themselves and learn. with others. to dishonor his name.

The presumption is that these maehinauons had definite purpose in bringing about a new regime. Therefore the anxiety at Washington and the world around is well founded aud we may look for as dramatic sequences as of inception.

ALAsKA's OWN.

The feature of the last skagway. celebration of the Fourth of July was a division in the parade given over to white native-boru children. It was the pride and pleasure of all on lockers. an earnest of the Alaska of the future. an Alaska of permanent homes and fixed citizenship. The celebration next Fourth of July will contain similar exhibit the increas' ed size of which, according to re ports from the busy stock, will add to the swelling pride and pleasure of the citizens in that same proportion as the ranks are swelled.
 That this condition is not local and singular to skagway but obtains over the entire district and betOkens . sturdy population of nauye,born Am. orleans, and thus a new race of strong. selG.confident and masterful people, is shown by reports that ire Queutly appear in the records of other sections of the district This, for instance. from the Nome Nugget is typical and cheering:
 "One of the best evidences that Nome is improving at rapid rate and is fast becoming a better resi- depce town than ever before was the demonstration last night of the High school pupils who for the sake of a library appeared before a large audience with a splendid entertain, ment. The eyes of the Nome people were opened last night to something they have never seen before. They have observed that the young peo- pie are rapidly becoming men and women. but never seemed to realize it fully until last night Nome is proud of her children because of the advantages they have received; a Oracing climate and hurried strenuou life have combined efforts to develop little bodies ana minds until they have grown large and strong, The spirit of the young here Is one of the finest ever seen anywhere; they are progressive. courageous and daunuess. They are learning to do things many of them under difticul. ties. but the results they obtain are effective because of the efforts they put forth.
 The entertainment last night was one worthy Of any city. The whole thing pleased. Fathers and mothers watched their young with growing admiration and with splendid reason for it. There was encouragement from all Every one was glad and proud of the things which were done. They did them we'll and are deserv,l ing of great credit. They should be encouraged as much as possible.
