he was losing his intellectual virility.
The ambitious man who wanted his
place in the senate determined to get
rid of him, and proceeded to accom-
plish his purpose. Ten years earlier, OF
even five years earlier, the man who
concluded to dispose of the old senator
would not have dared to aspire. But he
knew that he was dealing with a fail.
ing intellect, and he proceeded accord
ingly. The old senator was induced to
believe that he could never be reelected;
that his health would not withstand the
strain of heated campaign, and that
he could retire with honor by becom-
ing member of the cabinet. The pres
ident of the republic, who was also
politician, looked favorably upon the
ambitions of the new man, and he pre-
pared place in the cabinet for the fail
ing statesman. The result was that the
old man went into the cabinet, and the
younger politician took his place in the
senate.
That was the first step towards get
ting rid of the old man. The next step
was to publicly announce the feeble
condition of the venerable statesman
and let the people know that he was un.
fit to hold cabinet position. This was
done through the newspapers. 1t was
done to prepare for the final act of get,

rolled around. Frequently the news
papers were used to disseminate state
ments concerning the grave errors
which the venerable statesman was
committing, and finally, after the peo-
pie of the republic had been prepared
for the event, the old man was required
to resign his cabinet Office and retire to
private life, with shattered health and
the humiliation and chagrin of betrayal
in the house of his friends.
These are only few instances of
public affairs which illustrate and
prove the proposition that all politi-
clans are selfish, and that they are fire.

who stand in the way of their ambi-

gets into the senate or house of repre-

whole object is to retain his place for

public interest before anything else,
the politician goes to the work of legis-
lation with the idea of denomination
and Il reelection in view. Every bill in

to have passed is handled with view
to increasing his own popularity with
the people, in order that he may retain

Both of the struggling politicians are
now in their graves. The president has
been dead for a number of years, The
vice president, who became president,
is also beyond the vale which separates
time from eternity. But the recollec-

entire republic was reelIing with crim-

fresh. The two politicians were de.

ended with the destruction of their am
bitions, and both of them went sor-
rowfully to their graves, their splendid
careers reelling with the miseries of
disappointed ambition.
1t takes but slight effort of mem
ory to recall another outrage commit
ted for the furthcrance of one mans am
bition. There was in the senate man
who had served his country with eXcep-
tional ability, and against whose name
there was never a shadow of suspicion
of corruption. He was master mind,
and was for years the accredited lead
er of his party in the senate. He had
passed the age of three score years and
ten, and his intimate friends observed
that his mind was becoming unbal'
anced because of his loss of memory
He remembered the things of long ago
but he could not remember from day to
day the occurrences in public affairs
which ought to have commanded hi:
constant attention. OF all men in pub
lie life, he should have been most fre'
from the assaults of ambitious men.
Suddenly there arose upon the po
litical horizon man of great force ot
character who was ambitious to go tt

stood in his way. He had no disposi
ton to retire, and did not renlize tina

THE LAND OF NUGGETS.

Wonderfully Rich Quartz Found In AlasiSa
New Scheme to Reach the Klondyke
for $225.
San Francisco, July 2s.-The latest
rumor from Alaska is of the discovery
of wonderfully rich quartz in large
quantities on the Stewart river. Par
ticulars are vague, and beyond the fact
that the ledge is large one and that
the rock assays $500 nothing can be
learned.
This, if true, will mean much for the
Klondyke district. The Stewart river
runs into the Yukon not far above
Dawson, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that the placer gold now being
found below may have it's origin in the
mountains at the head of the Stewart
river and neighboring streams.
The throngs about every shipping
office that has even the remotest Alas
kan relations have by no means dimin-
ished. 1t would seem that the only
circumstance which prevents the
wholesale depopulation of San Fran
cisco, is the limit in the transportation
facilities.
Every day sees some new scheme for
overcoming the difficulties in the way
of reaching the Klondyke. The latest
of the Klondyke transportation com
pany schemes is being engineered by
Capt. HERMAN, of the firm of Herri-
man & Mills. In response to numerous
requests he has mapped out plan for
reaching the diggings by the middle OF
September. He will charter a large
sailing vessel, and the party will con-
sist of 60 men, each of whom will take
one ton of provisions No one will be
permitted to go unless he takes this
quantity. Each one will be charged
$225 for the trip and Capt. HERMAN
thinks that for this sum he can land
them in Dawson City before Septem

Pittsburg, July 90. Eighty-nine coal
company's mines located in the Pitts
burg district were represented at the
coal operators uniformity meeting
here yesterday. The operators who
ship by river and those owning mines
in the Westmoreland field were not
present. Very little was accomplished
at the two sessions held. The old uni

clauses inserted was reported on by a
committee and the meeting to-day will
take up the agreement by clauses for
discussion. Where changes in the con-
ditions since 1896 warrant different re-
visions, committees will be appointed
to draw up clauses that will cover the
points at issue.

Washington, July 27.-The president
has decided to appoint Hon. Robert I.
Trncewell, of Indiana, for the position
of comptroller of the treasury. Presi-
dent Mckinley, realizing the important
questions coming up for decision in
the comptroller's office, has been Civ
ing the matter of the selection of an
appointee considerable attention, and
finally concluded to give the place to
Mr.. Tracewell. The appointment, it is
said at the white house, is entirely
one of merit, Mr.. Tracewell being Sc
lected because of his fine legal attain
ments. The position has been vacant
since the retirement of Comptroller
Bowler on the 1st inst. Mr.. Tracevell
is native of Virginia, but in early life
moved with his parents to Indiana,
where he has since resided. He was
representative in the Fifty-fourth con-
gress from the Third district of his
state and is As years of age.
The recess appointment of Hon. T
V. Powderly as commissioner general
of immigration was signed by the
president Monday afternoon. Mr.
Powderly's nomination for that office
failed of confirmation in the senate be-
cause of the opposition to him on the
part of labor organizations.

SOUNDS A WARMING.
nx-Governor sf Alaska Gives some
Advice.

Champaign, ILL.,, July 27.-S. M.
Phelps, of this city, who is one of A
party contemplating going to the gold
fields of Alaska, has just received let
ter from his cousin, Alfred P. Swine
ford, of Marquette, Mich, regarding the
country Mr.. Swineford was governor
of Alaska during the first Cleveland adj
ministration and while in the north was
very observing. Among other things in
the letter, he says:
1T can only say that while have neven
been in the Yukon district and personally
know nothing about the Klondyke diggings,
yet have no doubt about the great abun-
dance of gold
Still IL you want my advice, I say unless
you are prepared to take your life in your
hands, encounter such hardships and pertls
as are hard to picture even in the imagina-
ton, in getting there, after you have reached
Alaska; unless you are prepared for the eX-
treme of winters cold and of summer heat
and to endure black flies and mosquitoes
that render life almost uncomfortable, don't
go.
"At all events, don't venture on 1t this sea-
son. The Klondyke is LOCO miles travel
beyond Juneau, and starting now, even it
in the rush you succeed in getting trans
portation as far as Juneau, you cannot pos
siby get beyond to your destination in time

and 1t is exceedingly doubtful If you will be
able to find employment during the winter
for the reason that there will be so many

| "If your friends are determined to go they
| should go prepared to buy claim already
| staked, or else with a view of prospecting
new ground elsewhere than on the Klon-
! dyke, where all the available ground has
already been staked and claimed. The Klon-
! dyke is only a starter and the discoveries
there will be repeated on many other

| ditions which prevail.

these considerations carefully before max

NO HOPE FOR MRS. MAVERICK.
British Government Refuses She Ap-
peaIs of Uncle SnmN.

Washington, July 27.-The British
government has again declined to in
terfere in the execution of the sentence
of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, on the
ground that there is no reason for Il
change of judgment in the matter. The
last effort to secure at least an
ameliorati tion in the conditions of her
confinement was made by Ambassador
Hay, who had some correspondence on
the subject with the foreign office,
which he has transmitted TO the state
department. Lord Salisbury appears
to have called for report in the case
from Secretary Ridley and the latter
regretfully stated that he was unable,

been reached by himself and by his
predecessor as to Mrs. Maybrick's guilt,

everyone they meet, and promise all
sorts of things before election day,
Thousands of promises are made by
politicians, which they know they can
not fulfill, and which they never intend
TO fulfill.
Politicians more than any other class
of men regard self-preservation as the
first law of nature. They will not help
any man to prosper, unless by helping
him they help themselves. On the con-
trary, they relentlessly strike down
every man who seems to be in the path
way of their ambition.
Within the memory of all mature
men now living the whole nation was
rocked and wrecked because of the
clashing ambitions of two men. A pres
ident was used as tool for the ambi-
tion of one man and the undoing of the
other. The senate in the national cap
itol was made scene of strife which
would disgrace gathering of quarrel
some village gossipers. Two members
of the senate resigned their positions
in anger, The vice president wrote his
resignation of his high Office, but was
persuaded to tear it up and remain in
his position for political reasons. Later
on he became president. In that high
Office he declined to do anything tangi'
BILE for the men who had made his high
advancement possible.

THE PLANS FOR PEACE.
They Are Presented to the Porte for
Acceptance.

Constantinople, July 27.-At the sit
ting of the peace conference Monday
the ambassadors presented the peace
preliminaries drafted by the powers,
which provide for European arbitra-
ton of any differences that may arise
between the Greek and Turkish pleni-
potentiaries in arranging a definite
treaty. 1t is stated that the powers
will insist upon the acceptance by the
porte of this provision, and its recep-
ion, therefore, by the sultan will be
tightly significant. The desire of Ger
many to institute European control
of Greek finances still hampers the set
tlement of the indemnity question. Ii
is understood that the Volo-Larissa
railway will be transferred to the Greek
administration, with the stipulation
that the same facilities shall be granted
to Turkey for the transportation OF
troops as are granted to the Greek gov
ernment. This, therefore, does not in
dicate an intention on the part of Tur.
key to evacuate Thessaly, but is merely
measure of economy.
