Makes a Serious Charge Against
One of His Opponents.
Accuses Gen. Hardin of Trying to
Get Him to Run Against Black
burn For the Senate.

Winchester, Ky, March IS. --
The most interesting development
of the visit of Capt. w. J. Stone,
who was here y esterday to speak,
was the statement he made after
his address, and in the presence of
a number of friends who had gath
cred about the stand to con9ratu-
late him, that an effort had been
made to pull him off the track.
Capt. Stone used no name, but it
was understood that he referred to
Gen. Hardin.
The Captain in his speech de-
MED vehemently charge that he
had ever voted for gold bonds. At
ter his speech he made the follow
ing statement to those around him;
The candidate for Governor
who is the author of these whis-
perings about my record on the
money question is the same person
who on February , called me off
into one corner of the Willard Ho-
tel, in Louisville, and asked me to
withdraw from the race for the gu
qernatorial nomination, saying
that he knew no could win if | was
not on the track. He told me that
! ought to withdraw, support him
for Governor and become myself a
candidate for the United States
Senate, replied that the party
had already given him the chance
to be elected Governor, and now it
seemed to me that he ought to give
me chance. y

TIE Fourth of July is at hand and our citizens, young and old, are looking forward to the day with joy and pride. The event is one which should cause every American citizen to rejoice. It is the day on which our fOrefa- thers, one hundred and twenty, three years ago, signed the ia nous Declaration of Indepen- dence, and laid the foundation for the greatest nation on earth. A nation which has grown from a handful of colonists occupying a strip of land along the Atlantic Coast, to a nation of seventy-five million people, covering a broad expanse of wonderfully fertile country extending from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexi- co: and from the Atlantic, to the Pacific. Already this young and vigorous nation is knocking at the gates of old Asia; and no man can predict what the future may bring forth. It is on the Fourth of July that the young of

THE rapid development of Southeastern Alaska necessita- tes great care on the part of our citizens in the matter of the ap- pointment of officers to the new positions which will be created. The new appointments are, in a great measure, in the hands of Judge Johnson; and while he is desiriouS of acting for the best interests of Alaska, he is not en- tirely infallible. In other words there is a possibility of his being imposed upon. We have one Grafter on our hands in the per son of Fred Page Tustin. U. s.. Commissioner at Wrangel: and while it is about settled that "king Fred must go, we should take steps at once to guard against others of the same class. ketchikan, our near nci ghbor on the south, is coming to the front and will no doubt have a Com
 missioner and recorder. Such commissioner and recorder must be a man above suspicion. A mau who is in any way connect ed with Fred Page-Tustin, or under his influence, will not do. We care not whether he be rich or poor: lawyer. minister or merchant, he must, and of r. ght ought to be free and untramm el ed. The facts in the case are that Fred the first King of Wran- gel, Defender of the "Graft, :" and promoter of Costs" is try ing to extend his Kingdom to in- clude all of Alaska, and possibly all the world. He is trying to force a prospective official at ketchikan to pay tribute to him. The JOURNAL takes this oppO- tunity to warn the people of ketchikan against Fred Page Tustin and against any man who can in any way be brought un- der his influence. A word to the wise should be sufficient. Let the party at interest get out from nnder at once, otherwise their road will be rocky and full of pitfalls which sooner or later will surely cntrap him.

asked for discharge, which was granted.

Another road is fighting for right of
that place saye:
"The Colum bia Railway and Naviga-
tion Company has fled suit in the
superior court to condemn 200 feet right
of way across state lands near Rockland.
The complaint alleges that the desired
right of way is across the parcel of land
between ordinary high-water mark and
low-water mark in the Columbia river
in fro Mt of lots 1, 2 and 8, in section II,
township 2 north, range Is east of Will
lamette meridian. The land to be ap-
propriated is about 13 acres. Some
years ago the Columbia Railway & Nav
igation Company laid the track on
three miles of road that extended west
from Columbus landing, opposite Biggs
station. The present proceeding in
court is believed to be a resumption OF
the work that was suspended during the
depression. The original plans of the
company were to afford open river
transportation by way of The Dalles
portage, which is to be constructed.
When The DAlles rapids are overcome,
will be open to tide water
from Lewiston and AsotIn on the Upper
Snake. Captain j. S. Cochrane, who
was recently in Goldendale on tour of
inspection, is said to be interested il
the proceedings. It is reported that a

ceedings will be begun coon by the COM
pany."
