CAT OUT OF THE BAG.

At last the cat is out of the bag, and Marshal Erwin has made it evi- dent why he politically favors peo- pie who are not Democrats He has acknowledged that he has replaced John Solen, a veteran Democrat. be cause he accuses the latter of hay ing failed to support his efforts to get to be marshal. Thus. it seems that so few men in his own party supported his political ambitions that he must extend his political favors. as far as his boss will permit him, to men out of the party.
 There are strong reasons why true Democrats should have opposed Er- wins appointment. One of these is the fact that when John Roman was nominated as the Democratic candidate for delegate to congress, Erwin worked against him, havin5 z campaigned for MT. Wickersham who was not a party candidate, Erwin's Democracy all along has been purely of a selfish nature, and if anyone can point out where Er- win has done anything worth while to promote Democratic policies. cer- tainly the true Democrats of Fair banks would be interested to hear about it.

Marshal Erwin declared that he
 had to make the change in order
 10 keep a promise he had previously
 made to Mr Latimer's daughter.
 When asked by She Citizen why
 he had removed a veteran, who is
 an Alaskan sourdough and a life long Democrat. for the purpose oi filling the place with a stranger from
 the Outside Erwin stated that MT
 Solen had worked against his ap-
 pointment as marshal. and for that
 reason he did not like him. He said
 that Mr. Solen's appointment as ba.- Tiff of the court had been made by
 J. F.. Clark, during Erwin's absence.
 and that had il not been that Mr Solen is an old soldier, he would
 not have permitted him to have re.
 jained the place.
 John Solen is so well known in this district as a man of honor and loyalty to duty. that all the excuses Marshal Erwin can make must fall flat upon the ears of respectable people who honor MT Solen for his long service to his country, as well
 as for his honesty and general good reputation. His removal without any charge against his conduct. and for the admitted purpose of making a place for stranger to satisfy the request of young woman has put Marshal Erwin in a decidedly ques
 tionable light before the public. The incident indicates. first. that Marshal Erwin is appointing Repub- licans and strangers to office be cause his appointment was opposed by good Democrats of Fairbanks
 It also indicates that Marshal Erwin is like dough in the hands of some people, and, further that he is ab-
 solutely devoid of the kind of pat riotism that has always prompted
 the heads of federal departments to favor veteran soldiers in making ap- pointments.
 Had Tom McGowan, the local pc 1 litical dictator and Erwin's boss, been here. it is quite certain that the latter would never have been allowed to throw out of office an old veteran to give the place to a stranger, for no matter what MT
 McGowans opponents may say of him in other ways, he has never been accused of lacking patriotism, or of bringing harm to an old sour
 dough who is in need of financial assistance
 1 If there is such a thing in the makeup of Marshal Erwin as shame, his face should blush with il when he acknowledges that he has, for petty political reasons, deprived John Solen, to whom Alaska and the coun- ! try at large owe gratitude for the 1 hardships he has undergone in the service of his country, and for the years of his life spent in trying to promote Alaskas best interests, of
 chance to make a living.
 In some places such an ignoble
 deed as that just committed by the ] United States marshal at Fairbanks
 would result in a public demonstra-
 tion, if not personal violence, for
 the average American is a man of
 honor man of loyalty to his coun- the petty selfish emotions that ac-
 tuates the life of such a cheap pol 1 itician as Marshal Erwin.
 l Shame be on you. L. T. Erwin

STORM OPENS CRAVE.

WAYNESBORO, Pa-A very pc culiar result of recent storm was the tearing up of poplar tree by the roots, which revealed an old vault on the farm of Heber Ritter near Trappe Station. in Talbot County, Md. When the tree fell it tore the top of the grave open, and leg-bones, about which the roots had grown, dangled in the air A human skeleton, the shroud and part of a shoe could be plainly seen in the broken coffin.

ALASKA TOURISTS.

William Homan, the wealthy tourist from New York, who came here more than a week ago with other tourists and remained for a day, stated, in a speech he delivered at the Auditorium in the afternoon concerning the evolution of the American flag, that he had brought with him to Alaska a fur coat, ex- pecting that he would need it while here. His surprise was to find that here in the heart of Alaska the climate is as delightful in the sum- mer time as almost anywhere else in the United States.
 It was further explained by Mr. Homan that his trip to Alaska was due to the glowing description of the country made by one of his per sonal friends who had been here previously All of which goes to prove that people on the Outside know very little about Alaska, and that one visitor to this land of scenic wonders is certain to attract others.
 Many of the other tourists that came here on the same boat were as surprised as MT. Homan concerning the delightful summer climate of Interior Alaska. They, too, it was explained, had come here with fur coats, but had never had occasion to unwrap them.

SHAME BE ON ERWIN.

John Solen, who served in the Union Army in the Civil war for three years and three months, and who left the ranks to cast vote for the Democratic party, which he has constantly supported since that time. lost his position as temporary guard in the federal jail early last week. for the reason, as Marshal Erwin explained, that R. K. Latimer, who had just arrived in Alaska for the first time in his life, might have the job.

 JOHN E. BALLAlNE says that Alaska should have it's agricultural college. university and normal school combined, for he declares that it has been proved that the best sue cess has been obtained where they have been combined. But MT. Bal laine evidently knows but little about the subject, for it has been found that the schools are better separated. Indeed the secretary of interior of the United States de clared that he would not endorse .9ny bill providing for the establish ment of combined university and agricultural college in Alaska, as such combinations had not been suc- cessful But perhaps Mir. Ballaine is a better authority on the subject than anyone else.

 Challenges Dawson

Through Louis Klopsch, who has the matter of the arrangements in charge, the Fairbanks baseball club sent challenge to the Dawson baseball club yesterday, to come to Fairbanks to play a series of games, A reply to the wired challege had not been received when the tele- graph office closed last evening.
 It is expected, however, that the Dawson team will take up the chal- lenge of the FairbankSans, as their expenses have been guaranteed. No time for play was designated in the challenge as it was thought best to have the Dawson boys state when they could come, without putting themselves out.
