THE ARREST JEWEL OF ALL.

Of all the human attributes it has often been said that consistency was the rarest: and not being aware that the assertion was ever contra dicted. We herewith hasten to enter an objection in so far as 1t concerns politicians. 4 politician can be consistent in getting all he can out of politics, but he is never sincere. As a matter of fact, we don't believe that il exists in politics At least not that We have been able to notice.
 The point is this: It is only few months ago that the republican territorial convention was held at Seward. At the primary election pre- ceding the convention two of the most promin- ent men of Juneau took an active part; and one was defeated. The defeated one at that time was bitterly opposed to the present delegate while the other supported him. The political situation that existed at that time, has not been changed in the least since; yet we find them switched about, as 1t were. Just the reverse to the position they occupied at that time If con- ditions, events or something had intervened in the meantime, an excuse would be admissible for the change of mind; but the contrary exists Then why this change of front?

WELCOME THE DELEGATE.

In yesterdays issue, one of the prominent pro- fessional men of Juneau, who is here now-or was this morning; announced that Delegate Wickersham would be here this morning and that he might address the residents of the city before proceeding north. As far as we know. nobody was aware of his coming this day. EY- erybody knew that the delegate would be along soon, yet the date was matter of conjecture. However at the time this is written, he has not arrived; nevertheless, should the expected happen the Miner, whl;e opposed to his reelection to congress as delegate from AL aska. for his friends and his foes. welcome the Delegate in our city; and while he is a visitor in our midst, being the representative elected by the majority he is undoubtedly welcome by all.
