Entered as second class matter at the postoflice, Seward, Alaska.
AS EYEKYONE expected the Democratic convention at Skagway came
out again for the appointment of Alaskans to Alaskan positions.
This policy is one that should be supported by
THE DEMOCRATIC people of all parties in the territory. Even honest
PLATFORM pride ought to be enough to make us resent the
idea of sending men here to administer our af
fairs. We have people in Alaska who are perfectly capable ot tilling all the
positions and in spite of the fact that the present administration has per
formed great services for the territory it is felt as a sort of personal slight
to get turned down for outsiders.
It hardly seems ikely that a lawyer appointed from outside to the Alaska
bench could know as much about the conditions as a lawyer who has lived
several years here and knows ad about the various workings of the mining
laws and others.
Some of the appointees from the outside have actually brought in theii
assistants and it must be mighty hard on the men who have given the best
years to the territory to be compelled to continue to take their chance while
strangers grab the snaps.
The democrats should keep up their protests and when the republicans
come in they will reap the benefit so that their aid in the matter is to be ex
pected.
THE RESIGNATION of Lord Morley as a protest against the wa»* policy
of Prime Minister Asquith shows that there must have been pretty strong
opposition in the cabinet to entering the conflict. Morley was the chief aid
of Gladstone during the great days towards the end of the latter’s life. His
opposition to the war is consistent, at least, as he has always oeen in favor
of peace, even duiing the Boer trouble. He was at one time in line for the
premiership himself.
ALL VISITORS to Seward agree on two flattering verdicts about us.
They say we have the most beautiful townsite and the most beautiful women
in the country. They are right, and how is it, by the way, that Seward hits
no slogan embracing them—that is, of course, embracing the true facts about
us? How is “Seward the Beautiful”?
The Dirigo is due to arrive here to
morrow or the following day.
The Victoria with a artre t '
of excursionists aboard should have

told yet. It w.ii
the conditions encountered oil Nome.
The Catholic ladies made $116 over
all the expenses at their dance.
Nome—Wm. A. Gilmore leaves to
day on the Victoria on his way to !di
tarod where he will appear as one of
the attorneys in an important case
which, will be tried before Judge Ful
ler. The case is entitled Adams vs.
The Yukon Gold comp my which in
volves the title to 40 acres of ground
on Flat creek in an ejectment pro
•edimrs for possession The estin
<*d value of the property is $"00,000.
The point in issue is the assessment

neys for the plaintiff are Judge Malt
