By the time this is printed the Republicans will have nominated a can-!
didate for the presidency. If the man is Roosevelt it will mean, ot course,!
the joining again of the two parts of the party and a very good chance for,
sucees* at the election. The most remarkable fact, however, would be the
coming back again of Theodore Roosevelt. It is surely strange that in a
democracy of one hundred million people one man can secure such a hold
either of the sentiments of the public or the strings which control the political
machine.
Seward i* now represented not only in the United States army in Mexico!
but in the armies of Europe. It is a peculiar fact that since the European
war began a Seward man has been an aviator of active service and has been
brought back to the United States wounded, although when here he had never
been on an airship. And it seems so short a time since that war started.
The executions of the Mexicans who took, part in the Columbus raid re-’
calls to mind the possibility that the raiders were perfectly convinced in niak-'
nig the raid they were performing a patriotic action. Evidently the United
States is coming to be regarded in Mexico as the hereditary foe. There could
be no other explanation for the bitterness of the feeling of the people whoj
started the riots at Chihuahua and elsewhere, arid the great trouble is that
in years to come Mexico may be powerful, it would be safe to say that the j
future holds one great horror for this nation, it is the war with Mexico, j
it is a war which cannot be avoided. All the history of all nations proves
that when two contiguous nations dislike each other they will have at least
one struggle which will result either in conquest or the expenditure of the
energy of the radical antipathy.

Alabama's inability to make up the ‘
losses. Yesterday Alabama refused
by an overwhelming majority to al-j
low Hobson to represent it in Con
gress again—the reward of the spoil
er who is ever ready to spoil some
thing without ottering in return any
thing which may compensate, except!
a theory of his. Hobson and his work
was the cause of Alabama’s injuries,
and Alabama is denouncing and r**-,
pudiating him now.
Hobson never got very far with !i*»
theories in Congress. He introduced
resolutions and talked wildly and
away from the facts, but Congress
kept hi mdown where he belonged. He
wasn’t much in Congress—he was a
“devil in his own home town,” and
now his own home town repudiates
him, just os Our Own Home Town will
repudiate all and sundry all who con
spire with success to bring chaos here
and ruin the camp. If there was any
thing worth while nationally or loc
ally in prohibition, it would have a
hold and strength in Congress, which
it has not and cannot have. .More than

How can the political aspect atTect
Seward? What does it matter to us
what the President’s answer to Ger
many is? Or how the Mexican situa
tion is handled. We are not doing it.
Seward will still be Seward and oc
cupy the same place on the map one
hundred years hence. Headquarters
for the U. S. government in Alaska—
- By that time we will have an auto
mobile road to Kenai Lake. An air
line to Nome. But you can hardly af
ford to wait that long. You might
just us well wise up—Now. We arc
tired of making predictions. Every
thing will be alright anyway. But to
make it double sure, you should trade
where you get the Beat Goods, honest
weights, and surely the best treat
ment. We carry everything in the
General Mdse. Hues, everything for the
home or trail. If you don’t see it,
ask for it. We have it. Don’t say
“we didn’t know you carried it.”

one-third of the revenues of the en
tire United States come from taxing;
the liquor industry, and the propor
tion extends to the states and the
cities. There are great financiers in
Congress, and great financiers back
of many of the congressmen. If it
were possible to figure out a satis
factory revenue-raiser to cover the
invariable losses of prohibition, we
may take it for granted that such a
system would have been figured out
and presented to Congress. The best
they have arrived at to date is that the
income tax shall be doubled and the
exemption cut to $1,000, but this
gained little or no support. The poor
man would be for that, but the rich
man objects. The rich man has no
desire to see liquor sold, but he does
refuse to bear all the costs of depriv
ing a world of malt or spirituous bev
erages, as he doesn’t care so much
whether the world drinks or not.
As in Hobson’s case, so will it be
in the case of every man who in Fair
banks or any other town works at a
revenue reducing proposition until it
carries—such man will be rewarded
with no laurel wreaths when the re
turns from his work are in. We
wouldn’t care to accept the fate of the
town-destroyer, nor would we care to
attempt to destroy a town that we
were not of and yet lived off of. This

lilt! YUKON DEAL
DAWSON.—One of the most Im
portant mining deals made in Yukon
for years has just been closed where
by Manley, Ives, Price & McGinn,
well known northern mining operat
ors, have purchased the Silver King
mining properties, in the Mayo dis
trict, in the Upper Stewart River val
ley, from Thomas Aitken. The pur
chase was arranged recently after
Messrs. Manley and Ives came in from
the coast over the ice, and went to
Mayo, where they visited the proper
| ties. They and Mr. Aitken came
down from Mayo on the first water,
and were here several days, awaiting
the arrival of Mr. McGinn. After
conference with him the deal was
closed, and Mr. Manley announced to
day that he and his associates are
starting arrangements now for the j
opening and development of the prop
erty on a larger scale than ever.
Mr. Manley states that the com
pany hopes to get a good road built

from the landing to the mine so that
shipments can continue summer as
well as winter, and that the plan is
to put on heavy modern motor trucks
or tractors, and to draw the ore to the
Stewart river at Mayo Landing as
fast as mined. He hopes to have
fifteen to twenty tons shipped daily ;
this season if the road can be put in ,
suitable condition, and to deepen the
shaft and possibly open other shafts.
Water is to be pumped from the pres
ent shaft, and the depth extended
much more, he says, and stopes
started.
.Mr. Ives will be on the ground in
charge of the work, and Mr. Manley,
after visiting the property on the trip
of the Nasutlin, leaving here tomor
row, will return to Dawson, and then
be joined by Mrs. Manley, who is com
ing from the outside, after which he
will go to Iditarod to operate their
extensive placers there this summer
with their drag line excavators. Mr.
Aitken will go to Mayo tomorrow, and
expects to be back in a week or so,
after which he will leave for the
coast. He took out 1,700 tons of ore
A
this winter which is understood to be
worth $150 to $200 a ton. Late ad
vices by wire state silver has jumped
to 75 cents an ounce, and this will
make a great increase in profits to
the owners of the Sliver King.—
