The Dishonest GOIdite Policy,

The financial policy of the moneyed
interests-the goldite policy--imPOver-
ishes the owners Of property and en-
riches the owuers Of debts. 1t is
grossly unjust and dishonest to debt
ors, in that it increases the burden Of
debts; and by debtors are included all
persons doing business in which they
do not rapidly turn their capital or
who buy on time. The gOIdite policy
is also immeasurably detrimental to
industry, in that it undermines the
profits of production and destroys the
incentive of 'enterpTise.-Lllinoia State

the government in the direction of BIZ

IS THIS AN EXCUSE?
That the Man Was Drunk When
He Committed Murder.

Governor Leedy has signed a pardon
which will restore George Baker, a client
of n. NJ. Wells, the Paola lawyer who is
president of the state board of pardons,
to his liberty:
The report from the board is signed by
J. V. Randolph and Mayo Thomas, rec
ommending the pardon. Owing to the
fact that Mr.. Wells defended Baker when
he was on trial for manslaughter, he did
not participate in the recommendation,
but he appeared officially before his two
associates in behalf of his client.
The pardon is granted upon the show
ing that Baker was drunk and irresponsi-
BILE when he killed Ben Wells.
This serves notice on every would-be
murderer that all he needs to do when
he desires to commit a crime is to get
drunk beforehand and his pardon will be
forthcoming.

ATOMS RACE WAR.
CoIOred People -Cowed by Storm of
Public Denunciation.

Alton, Ill, Oct. 14.-This has been a
day of comparative quiet in the race
war at the Alton schools. The COL
ored people have become alarmed at
the bitter condemnation of the people
concerning the outbreak at the Wash
ingtOn school. The leaders in the as
sault upon the principal and janitor
have not been arrested, and it is likely
that the affair viii be permitted to blow
over, unless Miss Logan should decide
upon a personal prosecution of the boy
who struck her.
The board of education is inclined to
be lenient with the offenders, through a
fear that an active prosecution upon
their part may precipitate more serious
trouble. Mayor Brueggemann says
they are too lenient, and that he will
take the school matter into his own
hands if the violence of yesterday is
renewed.
The cOlOred Masons of the state are
holding their annual convention in AL
ton this week, and eighty of the leading
colored men of Illinois are present.
They express themselves freely cons

to continue the fight. They are unani-

CALL 1T LINCOLN.
New Territory to be Establish
ed in Alaska.

San Francisco Oct. 14-Special corre-
spondence of the Call from Alaska.
brought by way of the revenue cutter
Thomas Corwin via st. Michael, conveys
the news that it is proposed to establish
a new territory to be known as Lincoln,
out of the northwest portion of Alaska.
It's boundaries have not yet been fully
decided upon. but it will include the Yu-
kon river country and extend north to the
Arctic ocean.
The scheme meets with the approval of
the Northern Trade and Transportation
company, who recently held a conference
with Senator Carter of Montana. The
new town of Weare, the Yukon river
about half way between Dawson City and
St. Michael. has been chosen for the cap
ital of the proposed territory. It is un-
derstood that Eli Gage, son of the Sec
retary of the treasury, is a prominent
candidate for governor when the terri
torial organization is completed.
Unalaska. Sept. 30. via San Francisco,
Oct. 4.-Should the proposed territory of
Lincoln be created by the division of
Alaska, it viii have as its southeastern
boundary Mount st. Elias. from that
point the eastern boundary will run di-
rectly to the Arctic, which ocean will
form the northern boundary. The west
ern boundary will likely be run down the
coast line below st. Michael to the top of
the divide between the Yukon and con-
tinue to Kowim river. The boundary on
the south will follow the 62nd parallel east
to the Copper river, where it will cut down
to Mount St Elias. Should the division
occur and the boundary lines mentioned
prevail Alaska proper would then include
the Aleutian islands, the coaling stations
of Dutch Harbor and Unalaska and the
balance of the Alaskan peninsula the
Island of Unga and its quartz mines, KO-
diak island, Kanki peninsula and the
placer mines of Cooks inlet, Prince VIII
liam sound and the placer mines along
the Copper river, the towns of Wrangel,
Sitka, Juneau, Dyea, Skaguay and the
passes to the overland route to the Yu-
1on.
Within the new territory would be the
rich placers of the Yukon as far east
the inlet boundary line. It would also
include the numerous settlements and
trading posts from St. Michael to Circle
City, aggregating a population at present
of over 5000 whites and 5000 natives.

IS THIS A JOKE?
1t Sounds Like One of Ed Howe's
Humorous Tales.
From the Atchison Globe.

From the Atchison Globe.
There was a novel case in the police
court this morning. Miss Mae Smythe
of Topeka arrived on the Santa Fe train
at 6:3O and was complaining bitterly in
the union depot waiting rooms because
no one was there to meet her. Chief
White, who has some original and popu-
lar ideas, listened to her story and took
her to the police station. Miss Smythe
wept profusely, and said she came to
Atchison to visit one of the best families
in the city, but Chief White said he would
give her a chance to prove it on the wit
ness stand. When her case was called,
Chief White made a statement to the eff
feet that Miss Smythe was a respectable
girl. and member of an excellent fam
lily in Topeka, but a habitual loafer and
professional visitor; that to his certain
knowledge she had visited a family i'll his
neighborhood three times this summer
without an invitation; that his neighbors
had told Mrs. White that the girl came
without an invitation, and that while
they thought she was a nice girl, they
did not keep a boarding house, and did
not want her. Now she is coming again
to sponge off them" Chief White said,
"and 1 propose to break it up. This wo-
man, while thoroughly respectable, is a
Ioafer and dead-beat. I have no doubt
she neglects duties a home to visit where
she is not wanted" Judge Griffin said
that il Miss Smythe could show a letter
wherein she was invited to visit the Atch-
isOn family he would discharge her, but
the girl was unable to show such a letter
and the court decided that the girl must
return home by this evenings train, or
pay fine. The girl wept profusely, but
Chief White insisted upon his charge of
vagrancy against her. An examination
of her pocketbook can elaborate affair
with silver clasps) showed that she had
only 30 cents in money and pass from
