The Gateway may have enemies as every paper with fixed podcias must
have. It may have some good men opposed to it and it probably has, but it
can say, at least, that the opposing side has absorbed every d-d fool in this
city.
Seward people are often accused, or accuse themselves ,ot being unable
to agree. This beautiful virtue is by no means monopolized by the people of
this here town; Every town is the same the world over. You could probably
go into some village in the dimmest distance of the revived h low cry King
dom and find therein a certain proportion of the inhabitants who will ne\er do
anything but oppose what the majority do. \ou know all al*>ut that twelfth
man on the jury and he stands as an eternal examp.e of one of the eternal
verities. As it takes a member of both sexes to make the complete human
machine so does it take the positive and negative to complete human nature.
Cavil not at your fate, brothers; Only in the next world shall we all feel
alike and do alike, one crowd above ami the other below, and each clique act
ing according to its light—and its deserts.
Readers of yesterday’s paper were able to see that the days of chivalry
are not yet passed. The story* ran that a Nez Perce Italian and a Japanese
fought a duel over Elsie Daniels, an Indian maiden of Juneau. The Indian
cavalier fell with four bullets in his body ami the Japanese committed hari
kari or jiu-jitsu, or whatever they call it, by jumping otT a bridge. The
Indian will live, the story goes, but why did the Jap shuttle otT when he
thought his enemy dead and out ot the way?. Perhaps it was that having se
cured undivided possession of the fragrant beauty there was nothing more
left to live for. We never appreciate what we don t have to fight tor. I er
haps there is hardly a white man in Alaska who. finding himself tied ir
revocably to some of those native charmers. wxiuld not have ignored what
the poet called the victory of the grave and the sting of death.
Thomas Carlyle once said that the British Islands had a population of
about forty million people, mostly fools. I he dissensions which pres ail o\oi
there now are perhaps an effort to sacrifice national prosperity to pro\e the
genius of their late great author.

The Joys and Clothes
§ ofYuletide 4
..hi........
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because or the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoenbrun Tailoring
Say “Shaync-Brun”
will appeal to you at this time because it's tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes

Senator Sulzer
Roasts Delegate
Says Wick is Talking Statehood With
Selfish End in View.
“It appears very plausible that the
object of the Delegate in advertising
statehood is to cover and sidetrack
the issue of fuller territorial rights,
and thus retain the legislative power
entirely with congress as at present
is the case, and which will enable the
delegate to retain his power over prae
tically all Alaskan legislative matters,
and will provide him with a campaign
cry for the next decade.” This is the
way in which Senator Charles Sulzer
of the First division writes in the
Ketehikun-Miner of December 3. In
the same article Mr. Sulzer, who is a
brother of the former governor of
New York, by the way, says that at
i dinner at which he and the <!• <
spoke in Seattle he, the senator, told
the people in front of the delegate
that the statehood agitation is not a
wise move.

I SEE PEACE MOVE
IN CARDINAL'S
VISIT TO POPE
\CMDirWL Wi HfiRTMRHH
(Cardinal von Hartmann, archbishop of
Cologne, who telegraphed to Pope Bene
dict announcing that he would visit
Home, adding that he was the bearer
of important communications, enjoys the
confidence of not only the pope, but also
of Emperor William. He was employed
by the pontiff in ail negotiations to ob
tain better treatment for French eccle
siastics who iiad been made prisoners
ami for the exchange of wounded sol- [
diers and of civilians unable to fight
The cardinal conducts negotiations di
rectly with the emperor, from whom he
recently obtained commutation of death
sentences passed on several prominent
Belgian Catholics. Cardinals Gasquet
and Billot were reported to be on their
way to Home to represent Great Britain
and France, while the arrival of Car
dinal Begin, archbishop of Quebec, was
announced The fact thnt ecclesiastics
representing several of the warring na
tions would be at the Vatican at the
same time gave rise to the belief that
steps toward peace might he discussed.1
Rl’BY LOOKS BETTER
THAN EVER BEFORE
William Good arrived yesterday by
dog team from Ruby, after having
been on the trail for eighteen days,
and reports that the interior camp
is showing up better than ever. New
pay has been struck on Midnight creek
where recently $4 dirt was found, on
Spruce creek, Poorman, rl amarack
and Straight. Perhaps the best late
discovery was made on Ivow Mount
ain, between Poorman and Cripple
creeks, by Connor and O’Malley. The
Guggenheims have lately installed a
4">0 ton dredge on Green Stone creek
and it is reported have found that the
pay was three times as good as they
at first figured.
