PLEASE EXPLAIN
Thp Junoau Emprre ol November
14th, says;
"The results from V&ldex give '
the legislative complexion a differ
ent hue. With Sulzer, democrat,
arm Tanner (holdover), democrat,
lu the senate, and J. G. Held, inde
pendent, William Britt democrat, Ar
thur G. Shoup, republican and J. K
Heckman, republican in th0 house,
the anti-Wickeraham faction will
hold the balance of power.
"The assembly will have eight i
democrats, two non-partisans, six 1
republicans, six Wlckershamites
and one of bull moose tendencies.
There is one doubtful seat in the
fourth division, the result of wbieh ,
however, cannot alter the plurality
of the democrats.'*
Will the Daily Empire kindly ex
plain to us just what it means I
when it says that the anti-Wicker- I
sham faction will hold the balance
of power? Does it mean that the
IS members of the territorial leg
islature not classed as WKkershaw
it«s will be opposed to all measures I
which the delegate may introduce I
at the coming session of congress j
for the benefit of Alaska? Or
does it mean, as was alleged to be j
the case before the recent election,
that the democratic and republi
can senators ana representatives |
had a pre-election agreement to I
work for Mr. Wickersham's defeat I
and having failed in that, will still!
cling together in an effort to dis
credit him with the federal
administration, notwithstanding the
pledges they gave their constituents j
to work solely for the interests of
tile territory upon all occasions?
And is not the Daily Empire a
little "balled up" in its statement
that Britt and Heckman and Shoup
are all in the democratic or re
publican ranks? They were all el
ected on a non-partisan ticket and
platform and in the case of Mr.
Shoup, at least, we have first hand
evidence that the allegation of the
Empire is without truth.
\o pkace in mkxico
Late reports from Mexico in
dicate that Carranza will re
fuse to step down and out for a
representative of Villa while that
formidable bandit remains in com
mand of a powerful army. It is
also apparent that various army
chiefs have taken sides so radically
and have started so many little
campaigns of their own that they
■will naturally go on fighting.
It takes an optimist of the most
extreme types to find any sign in
the news from Mexico that a
period of peace, order and real
liberty is about to begin. The
welter of feuds and factions in
arms, the bitter jealousies and
antagonisms of the military chiefs
and the class and race barriers to '
union and good feeling are as dif
ficult to overcome as they ever
were.
The best that thl3 country can
hope for, as far as Mexico is con
cerned, is that the civil wars i and
disorders of that unhappy land
may be kept within bounds suf
ficiently to make possible tolerable
conditions along the frontier of the
I'nited States and in respect to
Americans and other foreigners
■who are constrained by very
urgent obligations of various kinds
to remain in the distracted Mexi
can republic. If we Can keep out
of trouble in or on account of
Mexico we shall be fortunate.
Infinite patience has been -re
quired already to avert war with
the turbulent and semi-civilized
nation across the Rio Grande.

rate of One of the Founders of th«
Bank of England.
William Patterson, a Scottish farm
r, was the founder of Loudon's great
Dstitution in Threadneedle street, the
Jank of England. LI is plan for a na
lonal bank was submitted to the gov
■rument iu 1001, but it was not till
hree years later that the chancellor of
he exchequer. Mr. Montague, and Mr.
Jichael Godfrey, one of the richest
nerchants in I.ondou. put the scheme
uto operation. At this time England
vas at war with France, and Godfrey,
vbo was the bank's tlrst deputy gov
ernor. left his peaceful occupation to
isit Namur, then being vigorously be
Jeged by the English forces under
A'illiam ill. Godfrey had undertaken
:his [>erilous journey iu order to con
;ult the kiug respecting the supply of
money to the arui.v necessary to carry
>n the war. Thinking that the safest
place would naturally be somewhere
near his majesty. Michael ventured
into the trenches and soon caught the
?ye of the king.
"Mr. Godfrey." said William grave
ly. "I tbiuk you ought not to run this
risk You are a civilian and can be of
ao use here."
"True," courteously replied Mr. God
Trey, "but I am no more exposed than
rour majesty."
"Yet." returned the king. "I am in
my duty, and therefore have a more
reasonable claim^o preservation."
At this moment a cannon ball, fired
from the ramparts, struck Michael
Godfrey and killed him instantly.
This sad event greatly affected Wil
liam. and he commr tided the body to
be taken to England, where It was laid
to rest In St. Swithin's church, near the
Bank of Eugland. In the church rec
ords Godfrey's memory is honored
thus:
"He died a bachelor, much lamented
by all his friends, relations and ac
quaintances for his integrity, his
knowledge and the sweetness of his
manners."—Pearson's Weekly.
SILENCED THE DUKE.
Ludwig Barnay, the Actor, Put a Crimp
In His Royal Critic.
The Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, who
died Id his eighty -eighth year, will be
remembered ns an enthusiastic sup
porter of the drama. In this connec
tion an amusing story was told by
Ludwig Barnay, the actor. In his
memoirs. Barnay was playing at
Meiniugen In the role of Hamlet The
performance had begun aud trumpets
were ushering In the king and prince
for the second scene. The advance of
tiie procession was checked by a loud
"Halt!" from the stalls. It was the
Juke, who had entered unnoticed and
proceeded to amend the performance.
"That's not the way to do it! In
stead of a salvo of trumpets you must
play the Diuiish national anthem. And
the king and prince shouldn't come on
together; they haven't met yet!"
"Nonsense!" murmured Barnay.
Unfortunately he was overheard.
"And, pray, why Is it uonsense, M.
Barnay?"
The actor explained that, according
to the text. Hamlet aud the king had
already met outside.
"M. Grabowsky." called the duke to
the producer, "continue ns M. Barnay
wishes. He Is quite right I never
mind acknowledging a mistake!"
The piece proceeded. When the play
i r-i" scene was reached and Barnay
was reciting the actor's, part, with
"Aeueas' Tale to Dido." he spoke the
lines hesitatingly.
">1. Barnay," interposed the duke,
"why did you deliver those lines so
badly r
"Because Hamlet is not an actor,
sire, but only an amateur!"
"But Polouius praises his acting!"
"Ah. your highness." answered Bar
nay. "but theu I'olonious was a cour
tier. and courtiers find everything that
princes do marvelous"'
The duke laughed heartily and inter
rupted no more that day.
Wonders of Nature.
"Charley, dear." said youug Mrs. Tor
kins, "you have no idea how instruc
tive and interesting it is to go to mar
ket."
"What's interesting you now?"
"The provisions that nature makes
for our comfort, it occurred to me
this morning that we should be so
thankful that removing the shell from
an egg is so much easier than remov
ing the shell from an oyster."—Wash
