OF ALASKA.


If any ordinary business IGan had
bought a piece of property for $1.2oo.o"o
and it had produced $100,O90 O0 with
scarcely any effort at development, he
would have set aside a large percent
ace OF the revenue for forther exploita-
ton. This is what the people of Alaska
want now. They feel that the country
has been looted long enough. At least a
portion Of the wealth that is being tax
en- out Of the soil and the waters should
be expended in making life worth living
in the territory. There should be at
iloast che American railroad running
from the coast to the interior and kept
open throughout the wear, so that mail
and supplies can reach the interior with.
out the long delay of dog cams AMI the
men who are making it possible for these
revenues to be produced in Alaska
think, that it is about time that they
were being considered as American clti,
zensi and not as crooks.

HUERTA NOT MEXICO.

Huerta has asked France if it would
consent to mediate between the United
States and Mexico. But there is no trouble
between the United States and Mexico.
Only a few weeks ago Huerta himself
said to the Mexican congress that
there was some trouble between the de
factO government, of which he was the
head and Wilson's administration al

bic between the American people and the
Huerta government. Let every jokesmith

TAMMANY BEATEN.

The outcome of the election in New
York City does not Indicate a rcpubii-
can victory. a bull-moose victory, or a
democratic victory. 1t is a victory of the
best republicans. progressives and dem
ocrats against Tammany. 1t is perhaps
an expression of disgust at the conduct
Of Tammany leaders in the matter Of the
Sulzer Impeachment trias; though Of
that we cannot be altogether sure. Ii
is not necessarily a declaration of the
peoples belief in Suffers honesty. but
it may we'll be IN expression of their
~sesetin The infamy of furnishing a man
for his. goed qualities Instead cf his bad
qualities. 1t may be, however, that it's
condemnation of Tammany is general
rather than specific: that the verdict is
against al its crimes rather than
against its outrageous conduct i'll the
Sulzcr affair. The impeachment case was
the OCCASION rather than the cause Of
the verdict. 1T was the final drop added
to the cup of ~Tammanys iniquity. caus
ing il to overflow. 1t is a victory for de-
cency and honesty rather than a parti-
IAN triumph for this or that political
combination The rejoicing for it will
not be confined to the people Of New
York. 1t will tie hailed all over the ma
ton as The dawning Of Il better day.
