THAT CHICAGO. ELECTION

Chicago newspapers at hand with the full aecoarts of ,he recent city election in that city indicate that local issues caused the switch from the Democratic to the Republican column They point out that there were more than sOooo less votes cast for the Democratic candidate for Mayor at the election than were cast at the Democratic primaries The friends of County Clerk Swezer who defeated Mayor Harrison for the nomin' ation assert with great vehemeucs that the city hall crowd an supported the Republican nominee Others alege that 1t was defeat for Roger Sullivan and not for Democracy Another local issue according to the Chicago Herald was the attempt the part of certain societies to poll the vote of all the sympathzers with the German position in the European situation for Sweitzer The Herald this attempt was played so hard that 1t resulted causing the Canadian and slayic.Amercan vote to go Thompson. whereas the majority of both have generally been Democratic in Chicago and to cause a reaction against them rom voters in general
 The fact that there were more than sooooo votes cast in Che Democratic primaries and only 24o00o Tor swetzer would indicate remarkable change in sentt nent since the February primaries if are to believe that National politics caused it. This is all the more notable when we consider that there was red-hot ish, in the Republican primaries between the stand pat and the progressive" factions of the Republican party to control the city nominations not only for Mayor but for che other candidates.

 4 timely letter to the News on the labor situation in the Yukon appears In another column t is well that steps be taken to guard against Yukon being oyerun this year with job seekers 1t Is we'll known that tnou' sands are idle in every city on the outside The Unted States alone reported In telesNphc message ths week to have million idle men,
 The Northland offers opportunities for those who win come with grubstake with which Go purchase an outfit but feed the Idle hordes oi other lands This region imports barely enough to keep those who are here from year Go year. and there jobs for only
 limited number The vast region offers opportunities for prospecors but not accustomed to living In the wilds without supplies from stores will make poor show of It. The large companies operating near Dawson have quite a number of men at work now making Spring repairs A little later the repairs will be fin- shed and there certainty that even those now here will have work all season It costs money to live n this country It is certain there men enough here to do all the work which will be done this season md such being the case there no reason why an influx should be permitted to this region during the coming summer.
 If large number of Outsiders came here, percent age of them almost invariably gets work Wnien snouio go to those who remain faithfully by Che country the people who stay and develop the land and pay the taxes then suffer And merchants who carry those who re- main are worsted. The merchants of Dawson already are carrying many with hopes of spring or summer a fordne chance for those being carried to get work and nav off their obeations If more people flood the country the chances of the merchants setting their money for goods already consumed will grow less and there will be an increased multitude to carry The Dawson merchants already have to carry too many It is vital to them that an unnecessary influx of labor be averted It is vital those who have been carried that the influx be averted 1t vital Go the whole commun- ity All should get busy
 Dawson had a soup kitchen experience few years ago which was costly lesson. Dawson does not want to be overruu with idle again and to have to de- port men, and establish bread lines Even last summer was necessary to help a number out of the country From all appearances there will be less labor demanded here this year than last In early days the police re- qured that everyone entering the country have 30 much cash outfit for year It would be well to in- pose the same requirements at the Summit this year
 Now that the thaw has begun and Che Spring rush Northward is starting action should be taken at once Representative Dawson bodies or the government could act in the matter eifectually by giving warming in coast cities. Now is the time to act.

The proposal for the popular election of clerks. treasurers attorneys and other municipal officers in addition to councmen advance in municipal gov ernment The city governments in Alaska at the pres ent time are practically commission governments The people elect council of seven who have full charge of municipal affairs. The councimen are held respon- sole to the people This in effect the commission government except that we call them councilmen in- stead of commissioners It is direct responsibility does not permit one branch Of the city government to shun responsibility off onto another branch over which it has no control !, is that sort of centrazaton of authority chat counts for responsiveness to the public

PURCHASE OF ALASKA
 Chicago Herald)

When fortyeight years ago, the United States paid Russia S72OOOOO for the Territory of Alaska 1t Waa looked upon as an extravagant expenditure. Up to March sO lS67 that territory of the northwestern part of North America was known as Russian America The present name is the English corruption of the apor gina word "Al.y-eksa. the great land The Russians claimed the Territory by right of discovery They sent vitus Bering Dane by birth at the head Of an eNpedF tion to the northeast of the Asatc country ln July 17sO he discovered number of islands among them one bearing his name.
 From the time Of the planting of the Cars ies upon the soil of this country it's honor was suinea Dy acts of oppression and cruelty The Russian-meFlcan company established number of trading posts but its rule was characterized by the most baroarous conduct and became SO notorious that the government refused to recharter 1t in 1862
 Ridicule at the action of Secretary Seward in pur- chasing Alaska has been changed to sentiment that credits him with shrewd diplomacy. Several reasons have been assigned as why Russia disposed oI this Territory It was supposed that the United States com menced the negotiations to remunerate Russia under the guise of purchase for her friendly attitude toward DIS during the civil war Many also believe that Russia sought to dispose of the Territory to the United states that England might not in some way absorb It. Ane most reasonable explanation is that she wished to oe relieved Of the care and protection which her subjects constantly required of her in maintaining the semoahce of government.
 It was Charles Sumner who suggested that the name "Aiasxas and it was compliment in return TOT ms warm advocacy of the purchase that Secretary seward sanctioned the suggestion
