ALASKA'S DELEGATE.
<5overrnnenl. should be a cold
blooded business proposition for
our government has very much
1o do with our prosperity or ad
versity. Sentiment or passion
should have little sway in public
matters, as little at least as the
business man indulges in in car
rying on bis vocation. It. is a
dollars and cents proposition on
the one hand and the returns to
lie received upon the other.
A city, county or slate should
be run on business principles and
not upon political clap trap. Men

A number'of eaus.'s ha\e b'd,
In ihe llnaneial d i Ififti 11 ies un
der which I ha I worlhy iiislilu
lii.n is laboring. Primarily, I here
have been Inil* lew paying pali

(lumber of indigents has been
nniisnally larRe. The laller elns«

Heretofore file llnspilal has
received a certain and no in
ennsiderabb' support from mining
eninpailies. fnr Ihe care nf their
men in case nf sicklies* or acci
dcnl. This revenue has been
wholly cul olT by the physicians,
wlm have directly laken these
conlcarls and who only place
such men in (he hospital as can
not very well or safely be cared
for at other places.
Then, loo, I here has been an
cdernent here in the medical pro
fession which has fought Ihc in
stitution in every manner possi
ble to encompass its failure, with
the result, taking Ihe three
causes combined, of placing the
institution in a position where it
can go no further without local
assistance.
In every instance whore capital
again -t the Hospital of the Good
Samaritan could be made, justly
or unjustly, it has been done. A
few months ago a woman suf
fering from erysipelas was re
fused admittance to the institu
tion and a great cry was raised
when the facts were that to ad
mit a contagious case at the time
would have been nothing short of
murder, insomuch as there were
two maternity patients in the
hospital and no provision had
been made for an isolated ward
where contagious eases could be
cared for without endangering
the lives of others. It has also
been given out. freely that the
hospital drew the line strictly up
on Ihe respectability of its pa
tients, when, as a matter of fact,
its doors have been open to all
in distress.
These are not pleasant mai
lers to bring up for public dis
cussion, but in justice to those
who have given their best efforts
and money to maintain Ibis in
stitution, the truth must be lold
and spoken plainly.
Yaldez cannot afford to permit
Ihe closing of Ihe doors of Ibis
institution. A public hospital
here is a part of our city—of our
civilization. To permit Ibis in
st Million |o pass away is lo de_
elare llial each year a half dozen
or more lives are to lie sacrificed'
for I hi- lack of proper care, when
lliey could have been saved.
II appears lo (In* Prospector
Ihal if Ihe trustees of litis insli
f 111 ion will permit Ihe Ladies'
Auxiliary to Jake charge <>f Ihn
hospital there will then he an in
fluence behind Ihe inslilulion
which no man or sc| of men could
well afford to antagonize. There
would he such a general supervis
ion exercised as lo preclude all
criticism. Under Ihe manage
ment of Ihe Ladies' Auxiliary we
are certain Ihe hospital would
soon he hrnughl oul of dehl. and
placed upon a substantial foot
ing.
We <|o mil wish lo imply Ihe
criticism against Ihe ; present
trustees of Ihe institution, for
we know I hey have given their
'•est ell'orls and Iheir money for
;;s maintenance. Ilul we si ill
helieve Ihe women of Valde/ can
make a success financially nflhe
