THE FORTUNES OF POLITICS.
Mr. F. H. Brenneman is now
thel United States marshal of the
Third judicial division, lie look
the oath of office before Judge
Brown on Saturday evening and
Harvey P. Sullivan became a pri
vate citizen again.
In leaving the office which he
has occupied for four years Mr.
Sullivan does so with a record
which is enviable, lie has the
satisfaction of knowing that no
scandal has been attached to the
office during his incumbency. The
office is a difficult one to fill,
and one which sometimes causes
its occupant to be criticised when
no blame should be attached to
the official. The responsibilities
of the office are great and he has
filled them to the satisfaction of
the public generally. The de
partment must have approved of
him as his retirement has come
about only through the fortunes
of politics. No official action of
his has been criticised other
than the| keeping in' office of
deputies who did not meet with
favor in some quarters. Often
those criticisms of deputies were
■based on personal spite and had
nothing to do with the affairs of
the office which they represent
ed. In retiring from the mar
shalship Mr. Sullivan is doing so
with a clean record and his many
friends hope he will continue to
make his residence among I hem.
Mi*. Brenneman is no stranger
in this division, as he has been a
deputy for four years in the de
partment of which he is now the
head. He conies to lake up his
ollieial position after a residence
of four years in Kalalla, and it
is to his credit that every man
who knows him speaks in the
highest terms of his lionesU and,
integrity. He has lived many
years in Alaska and is familiar
with the people and customs, and
in assuming the marshalsliip he
has the good will of I he entire
district. The Prospector wel
comes Mr. Brenneman and fam
ily to Valdez.
THE EFFECT OF THE NEW DI
PLOMACY.
Lord Haldane’s Montreal ad
dress may be accepted as a token
of the tremendous influence in
the affairs of the world (bat the
administration of American for
eign matters by W ilson and Bry
an is destined lo wield. These '
men more Ilian any that have
been at (be bead of the nation
in modern limes have set them
selves about the task of conduct
ing a nation along Christian
lines. They have discarded the
“Dollar Diplomacy” that served
for so long a time as a method
of procedure in the conduct of
nations, and in its stead jWiey
have adopted the precept of the
golden rule for their country.
The influence of the United States
with them at its head will be on
the side of peace and right.
American promoters cannot use
the strength of the nation as a
club to assist them to drive hard
bargains with impecunious coun
tries, nor will that strength be
exercised by the government in
territorial or other classes of ag
grandizement for itself. The ele
ment of selfishness has been el
iminated from our diplomacy, but
the full strength of the nation
will be utilized in behalf of high
er civilization, the uplift of the
masses, and a broader liberty for
mankind. The country will ex
pect greater results from its mor
al influence than from its wealth
and military strength.
The indications are abundant
that the American standard of
diplomacy is meeting with the fa
vor of the nations of the world,
and, if it is true that Lord Hal
dane’s address may be taken as
a declaration that it is to become
the settled policy of Great Brit
ain, its general acceptance

The strike of coal miners down
in Nanaimo has cast, a gloom ov
er Southeastern Alaska. A long
winter is before us and our cus
tomary source of supply is
blocked by the strike. We have
plenty of money to pay for coal
at the usual price, but because
of the strike the mines cannot
supply the coal. There is plenty
of coal in Alaska, and there are
men who are ready and anxious
to mine it and bring it to our
wharves, but the present govern
ment refuses them the privilege.
That is the reason that Alaskans
say cuss words when they think
of the bunch of ginks down at
Washington who spdnd their
time talking tariff and playing
poker while we wait and suffi'r.
