A MUCH NEEDED CHANGE.
It mav |»> iii'ws In I lip marine
editor «»I* tin' Juneau Dispatch,
and tn Collector of Customs \Vil
lis, In learn that Judge Thomas
l.yoiis would have readied here
in ample lime to upon court had
he awaited the sailing <>f the
Yukon from tin* capil.ol eily for
the westward. lint to us, resid
ing in this neck of tin' woods,
it is a mystery to solve why there
should have heen such a tempest
in a teapol in Juneau over the
opening of a term of court in
Valdez, affecting likewise the
press and petty officialdom of our
territorial seat of government,
unless that it nii};hl lie the col
lector's personal interest in the
matter, which, upon occasion, he
is wont to show, as was so clear
ly evidenced in the Fairbanks
sub-port, matter, when.' for the
sake of the Northern Navigation
company the people of the Tan
ana were denied healthy compe
tition in their freight and pas
senger tariffs. Insignificant as
the incident may he. it is anoth
er example of how welcome the
change of administration will he
1o Alaskans who believe in fair
play.
