JOSEPH LADUE'S ROMANCE.
Picture of Himself and Indian
Wife Lost Him u White Bride.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-Joseph La
due, owner of Dawson, while on one of his
visits to San Francisco, about two years
ago. took his fiancee to a stereopticon show
where views of Alaska were shown. The
lecturer flashed upon the canvas a view OF
a rough-looking man in tattered garments,
unshaven and with a straw hat upon his
head
This, ladies and gentlemen" said the
lecturer, lis Joe Ladue, one Of the odd
characters in Alaska. And this, as he
flashed another view-''is Ladue and his
squaw wife. You will observe that Ladue
has his pick and shovel and is about to
start on a prospecting tour"
Ladue, who had been growing uneasy
while the first view was being shown,
jumped up at sight of the second and de-
nounced the lecturer as g, fraud Then,
with his fiancee, he left the hail. In con-
sequence of the picture, however, Ladue
and the young woman became estranged,
and though he afterWard succeeded in
convincing her that he did not have an IN
dian wife, she insisted upon returning with
him to Alaska to investigate for herself.
There she met G. II. BOwker, a young
Englshman, who afterward became one of
the <londike kings. The young woman is
now Mrs. BOWker.

The trail of the Skaguay to-day is lined

a dozen different places and scattered for
five miles. He will drop down a load any

has more than he wants of his own. Horses

which resulted in the hght near Clifton. in
which Tom Ketchum, a member OF the

THE DAILY BEE.

Several attempts have been made
in this country to publish a negro
daily newspaper and every time.
these papers have died before ma
turity. 1t has been great ques-
tion of conjecture whether the
people want daily paper or not.
We have an idea of attempting
the enterprise, believing that a
great and fearless negro daily at
the capital of the nation, will be of
material benefit to the people. Will
the people of this country guarantee
us a subscription of 10000? Il
SO We are ready and willing to give
them first class daily paper.

Yesterday afternoon. The sheriff him.
self did not know of Iailer Whitman'S
new scheme of criminal regeneration
until it was brought to his notice by
John G.. Jones, a south side colored at

Some time during the day MIR. Jones
learned thatth jail authorities had set

SENIOR CANOVAS' ASSASSIN

The assassination of Senor Can
ovas should be a lesson to the
American republic to protect their
chief magistrate against an assas-
sims bullet. 1t is important, for
the protection of human life, to
make the penalty for the sale
of fire arms, by merchants who
deal in such traffic so high that
they will be compelled to remain
in prison until their fine is paid.
Canovas may have been tyrant;
he may have been opposed to Gu
ba's independence, but will his
assassination help the indepenf-
ence of Cuba any? We believe
that Spain will hold her own, not
withstanding the assassination of
Canoyas.

to know, what right have the peo-
pie to pay taxes for the purpose of
supporting a lot of teachers to
study a profession? Our schools
are the asylums for this class of
teachers, and it should be stopped.
Both trustees Bruce and Shadd

power to improve the condition Of
both of these schools. We would
like for both of these gentlemen to
answer this question: Are our
High and Normal Schools to be
ssylums for imported teachers to
enable them Co study professions :
Do YOU intend to make a change in
the personal Of either or both
schools, or are these teachers who
were in both schools last year to be
retained in those schools this year
to the detriment of the pupils? We
don't object to people studying
professions, but we do object to

fences for people from other states.

AN IDEAL MAN.
EDMUND II De Is A DES ERVING
AND FULLY QUALIFIED CANDI-
DATE FOR ANY POSITION.

There is no wider or better known
character in South Carolina politics
than Edmund H. Deas Born with
Republican inclinations. reared in the
eternal fold of the same, he has been
thoroughly armed for the battles
waged for the upholding of the princi-
piles as enunciated by his devoted
party.
He has been answering in his 6del-
ity, earnest in his labors, and untiring
in his efforts.
In the trying days of the reign of the
republican party in this State, when
men of valor, patriotism and undaunt-
ed courage were needed, among the
recruits was found this valiant Young
statesman. He succeeded and lead
the scattered and frightened forces to
cherished victory. When we consider
the raging and blood-curdling demo-
cratic campaign in this State four years
ago, when no republican dared ascend
the stump, how nobly this parsonage
canvassed for the party No one in
this State will deny for moment the
deserving qualities of Mr.. Deas, and
to day he carries living testimonial
of battle-scarred marks. That he is
the real leader in this State is no doubt
or dream. He has represented his
State in every State and national con-
vention for the last sixteen years, and
is to-day stronger than any republican
in his State. He is responsible solely
for the instructing the delegation for
the present incumbent as President.
Edmund H. Deas is an ideal gentle
man, statesman. and true and noble
friend. He is cognizant of true friend

gratitude.

Perpetual Motion by Protection.

The California argument for high
er fruit duties is a sort of perpetual no
ton. The only disadvantage the Cali
fornia fruit raiser is at is to be found
in the cost of his land. but the only
thing that makes his land expensiyeis
the profitableness of fruit culture.
, So the matter works out in this way:
The great profits of fruit raising sent
the value of land up to hundreds ofdo-
lars an acre. The interest on The VShs
of the land makes a large item IN
fruit raiser's balance sheet, and he feels
the need of high price for his fruit
This Senator Jones procures for him by
letting it be known that he will not vote
for the tariff bill unless it contains du-
ties on hides and increased duties Cd
fruits and the cheapest sorts of wool.
The increased duties adds to the pro-
its of fruit culture, and the price of lane
takes another rise, whereupOn the fruit
grower complains that the interest Cd
his land investment is so great or the
rental he has to pay for his land ISIS
high that there is an insufficient prom
in the business for him, and the only
thing that will save him from disaster
is more duty. j.,
Logically this process can be earrleu
on indefinitely. Practically it cannot
because with the increase in the prlee
of fruit the consumption of fruit viii
decline. The consumer will be worse
off for the change. The grower so 1al
as he is not to be considered as lano
owner will be no better off. but tns
value of the land will be as high as the
profits of fruit culture will permit
