THE NEXT SENATE
II is almost safe lo say the next
senate of the L'niteil Stales will
not be Republican in its political
complexion. Nino members of
the present body, one of whom is
a democrat, will not sit in the
next, senate, having either de
clined lo again be candidates or
have been defeated in the pri
maries. They are Bailey of
Texas, Bourne of Oregon, Brown
of Nebraska, Burnham of New
Hampshire, t'.ulloni of Illinois,
(•ardner of .Maine, <ingpcnlieim
of Colorado. Sanders of Tennes

EDITORIAL NOTES.
I'orkey Flynn lias again ccas

Ty Cobb was lined $50.00 for
swatting a spectator. Had he
killed him lite amount might have

When James Hamilton I,,
wields the gavel in Baltimore he
and his vest will be the most con
spicuous objects there.
A wheel lax is now proposed in
the states. There is considerable
of that kind of taxable property
running around loose in Alaska.

The convention assembled to
day showed the effects of the per
fect oiling it received during the
past three days.
Boston is to have a hospital
specially devoted lo curing the
"blues." The place will be a ver
itable Republican stronghold this
fall.
In spile of all the noise and
bluster of the political campaign
a good many honest men arc tro

When I In* reader .sci-s I lie
startling: headlines in 111•• paper
/•••ailing "iVace Assured," il lias
mi reference lo the llepuhliean
presidential eampaign.
The Practical Iiruggisl says
man contains approximately
(i 'i9 cubio feet of gas. Wonder
if someone has been mean enough
|o measure up Teddy.
Yaldcz was extremely weli rep
resented in the convention. The
town carried out. the . Roosevelt
idea of being well represented
several I iines over.
Why blame anyone bul Caplaiu
Smith of the Titanic for the loss
of his vessel? He alone is dead j
of those responsible for the dis-j
aster. I
Wi' wonder if the president will i
veto the bill providing for the di-l
reel election of senators by the
people on the hypothesis that it
is another blow at "the Ark of]
I lie Covenant." of which lie is the!
residuary keeper.
I.orinier doesn't propose to give)
np a good thing so long as there
are a majority of his kind in the
senate. Evidently he considers
himself as clean as 1 lie majority
membership of that. body.
We notice tin' Northern Com
mercial company is having its
castor shied into the political
ring. Next it will be the fluggies
and then the politicians will have
all I lie necessary tools on the
bench.
The Republican senate admits
its own remissness to dut> in the
l.orimer case, when its members
demand the resignation of the Il
linois senator, after having so
\igorously applied tile while
wash brush.
Should the anniversary of the
coal parly be celebrated in Cor
dova, the unkind will say that it is
a Democratic campaign job en
gineered as a slap al the admin
istration for its treatment, of
Alaska.
Taft, with hi9 commission
form of government, and Teddy,
wilti his smothering of Alaskan
resources, offer special induce
ments for a strong Republican
feeling in these parts.
Hy the act of "hiring n liall"
Teddy has mado a powerful
speech in which ho has told Ilio
Republicans that unless I hey seat
liis contested delegates there will
he another ticket in I lie Held.

Hoffman's Kuskokwim, says lliut
Aniak is not altogether a "dead
one." Jon Cheney and John Bar
nette arrived at Hoffman's March
15th and said them is no donht
j about the pay )>«• i 11 on Marvel
creek.
Tony Zimemrman they said
had pay on the lower end of the
Yellow Jacket association, Fish
er & Hnhro's ground, that will go
$2 t<» the foot, 80 feet wide, 1,500
feet up and down stream;
bedrock 5 to 1) feet
Cheney was out for supplies
for the summer and said lie had
pay that will go $20 to the shriv
el on the Hornet association on
Marvel creek.
Perry, on the upper end of the
Hornet, will open up and put
some men to work.
Mr. Hoffman seems to think
these men may possibly he over
estimating the value of their
ground, but believes Marvel will
be a producer all right.
