J. F. A. Strong lias served a full
"oral anil about a year more as gov
ernor of Alaska, to my mind aod.
I ara fully satisfied, that of the
great majority of Alaska's citizens,
with credit and honor io himself as
an efficient contentious public of
ficial." rhy violent oppositon of the
l'emicratic organization notwith
XXow. after tlie appoint
ment aud confirmation of his suc
cessor, conu-s thru the press, from
rhis same organization, charges
against both life private character
and honor as a citizen, either very
■•serious or most infamous. Prk>r to
his inductioa into office I had no
acquaintance with Govrenor Strong
and vc-r- little Bince except as to his
official conduct, and1 X am freo to
coufess that I consider his adminis
tioi; t^e best and, apparently, the
most conscientious given Alaska
since my advent more than twenty
years aso. it is claimed that his
O'-'inocratic opponent officials knew
of the truth of these charges long
atro; if Sv why this delay ajid after
lUe OCiay, why brought out now?
W:th.n the past week he has been
accused by the Press, tried and
condemned* of bigamy, treason, poltl
«.a! trickery and potroonerv of the
lowest orUer, and will soon d© nuns
«r Da wished in exile without an op
portunity to say a woid in his own
defense, it his traducers have full
power ia the matter. Gov. Strong
doea not impre&3 me as being' such
a viliianous and depraved character
as he is portryaed- and I will be
much disappointed i£ he does not e.v
o's.'n matters so as>to change ap
pearance. The real grievance is th^
Governor Strong tried to per.'orm
h:s Katies conscientiously instead of
politically; as governor he refused
tv> » political fool and committed
the his* crime of d*eclaring Judge
Wiekersham elected as delegate at
the last lection when the returns
showofi that he had t^e plurality
vote as cast by tho honest voters of
the territory. Had Governor Stiong
consented to the counting of all the
Indian votes cast by the Hydabur?
Tndians, illegally for Sulzer, by na
*ivg wLose parents were foreign Ion
and never naturalized, and the
thrcw:rg out of all the Wiekersham
urecinc's from almost inaccem'hie
localities, where irregularities occur
red, thru, no fault of the voters, ex*
ccpt 'gnoiance of requirements per
haps, and certainly not scheming of
WicKersham as the election machin
ery *r.d Federal equipment wag a!l
with Sulzer. all would have been
smoa*h sailing so far as the present
soure« if trouble lies. Tbis is a
bundling attempt to fight Judge
WiCfcersaam by discrediting all who
oroose Ojss Rule in the politics of
Alaska which Ijaprens at the pres
i. • i. - "
ont tlire, to dominate the democrats
par'y of the Territory.
I do not think tbatt he flings at
JIis. Hatcher wQl effect either her
heatfa or influence. She is pretty
well known in Alaska and, I believe,
geaerally respected. So far as her
domestic affairs are concerned, so
loss as Bhe conducts herself pro
perly among her associates, they
are sacred to herself and family and
a ad do not concern the general
public. Mrs. Hatcher has a perfect
right to travel and lecturee to such
as wish to hear her. I heard her
when she last spoke here and think
hfr a very capable and effective
sneaker. She does not indulge in
facetious remarks and sarcasm hut
go«s armed with facta and proof of
her assertions. As to who pays her
ray. that is something the Sulzer
't»s should investigate without de
lav; she Is speaking for Maloney,
perhaps Wickersham pays the bill,
but I will venture that ht doesn't
nsv 5 cent of it; I will state fur
ther that I do not believe that The
California Liquor Dealer's Associa
tion nor the Transportation com
:;ani»i oay it either.
Caa it be that the case is sa des
T>«rate as to require such drastic
measures? I am a Republican,
qualiiled by the word, Progressive,
r b»lieve in the "Square Deal" in
politics as well as in business and
social life Honest differences ia
opieions are respected and' if we all
•"■.'hTed to fair methods in con
testing for our conceived' principles
of right much bitter feeling would
be avoided. I do not believe in
Kaiserism. Truth dashed to Eajth
vt'H rise again, the Eternal jeans of
Gorf are Hers, but Error wounded
writhes with pain and d<es among
its worshippers."

SHOTS FROM THE SKY.
| Mataora That Bombard Ua and th«
Puzxle of Thair Origis.
Most persons have no comprehension
of the actual bombardment to which
the earth is continually subjected from
the heavens. MlU'ons of small meteors
enter the atmosphere every twenty
four hourrf, and in addition to these it
has been caloulated that on the averts*
not less than a hundred large meteor
I Ites strike the'earth somewhere every
year. The small meteor# are totally
consumed by the heat and friction, and
only their slowly settling dust ever
touches the earth's surface, although
any one of tlteui if not resisted by the
air would hit with from twenty to a
hundred times the velocity Of the swift
est bullet.
The big meteorites, on the contrary,
which frequently consist of solid Iron,
often get through the airy shield wltb
enough of their original velocity left to
bury themselves many Iteet In the hard
est soli. They constitute a"real peril.
Although the chance erf anybody being
hit by a meteorite Is almost Infinitely
small, yet the annals of mankind show
that a few persons haTe actually been
killed by tnese strange shots from the
sky.
Whence do they come? The small
meteors are apparently the debria of
those hardly less mysterious bodies,
comets, but nobody has yet suggested
| a satisfactory origin for the great me
teorites.—Garrett P. Servlss in New
| York Journal
| . HEROES OF THE SEA.
Thay Calmly Awaitad Duath With a
Song Upon Thair Llpa.
The British transport Tyndareus
struck a mine off southernmost Africa.
{ She began to settle by the head. Im
mediately "assembly" was sounded the
men put on their lifebelts and stood at
attention till the roll was called. Then
; the order "Stand easy" was given, and
| they began to sitg as ferrently as
though marching homeward on leave
through a lane of France or Handera.
They were perfectly sure that most
of them would find a grave in the sea
that engulfed so many of theh- fellows.
They had no hope of rescue. They
: stood exactly as the men of the Bfrk
1 enhead stood when they went to their
doom and their Imperishable renown
off the same coast sixty-five years be
I 'fore.
But the sequel by a modern miracle
was happily otherwise. Two steamers
summoned by wireless came and towed
to port the foundering vessel, with a
display of seamanship on the part of
the crews of all three ships that has
maintained the British navy's proud
I traditions.
j The bravery of those who had al
j ready given up their lives as lost was
j just as sublime as if that ultimate for
' feit had been required. Wherever the
j deed is known it will stir the pulses of
; men, this story of heroism quite as ex
' alted as any that Homer or Plutarch
| Immortalized.—Philadelphia Ledger.

—"Bill" Hochs, in the Jolly Elk,
In India elephants are used in man?
ways In the army, especially In mov
ing artillery. Of their work In this line
a British writer says:
"When a gun conies to grief the ele
phant marches up with the Important
air of an experienced engineer and de
liberately inspects the state of affairs.
Thrusting his trunk around the spoke
of a wheel, he gives It a lift as if to
ascertain the depth and tenacity of the
mud and then quietly walks around
and does the same by the other wheel,
dropping it again with a funny twin
kle of the eye as if he said to himself.
'All right; 1 can start her, I think.'
"Then he deliberates for a few min
utes, gives a slight push here and a
slight push there, when, haying at last
made up his mind as to the best mode
of procedure, he probably applies his
forehead—which has been padded for
the puriwse—to the muwle of the gun
j and, uttering a shrill, trumpet-like
i sound as a signal for the gun bullocks
to pull together, pushes against it with
all his weight, while the bullocks obey
I the signal and pull away too.
! "This generally starts the gun. But
If the bullocks are sulky and refuse to
obey the signal the elephant gets per
fectly furious and rushes at them,
i brandishing his trunk with such fero
| city as usually compel# obedience."
