CRIME RAMPANT AT NOME.

ShhnttertnR Account OF Life In New
Mining Resort.
San Francisco, July 9.-According to a
letter just received here, crime Is ram
pant at Cape Nome. This writer, who Is
f. G. Graves, a prospector. says there Is
an average of three or four suicides a
day and that murder is an everyday oc-
currence. Thousands, he states, are
cleaning up fortunes In the camp, but
many of those who went lily provided
with money will find graves in the north.
He writes:
"They are paying stevedores 81 an
hour, and everybody can get job, but Of
course all are not able to stand that kind
of work. Prices are about five times as
high as they are in Frisco, the cheapest
things being drinks at 25 cents each. Po-
tatoes are worth 20 cents pound, and
oranges which can be bought for 10 or Is
cents dozen in California cost 81 a
dozen here. Coffee and two eggs are
worth rs cents. Bread costs 25 cents a
loaf. and pies are so cents apiece.
Still, everything is not prosperity here
by any means. Suicides are occurring at
the rate of three or four day, and mur-
ders are almost daily occurrences. One
poor fellow who came up with us was
killed the first night he struck Nome.
He tried to prevent friend from getting
stabbed and got the knife himself. He
had 5000 in his clothes when killed. The
undertaken took 5000, the man who made
the coffin $50 and the man who dug the
grave the remainder.
'There seems to be about $4,000 people
here, aud Main street is densely crowded.
They are pannng out gold right along
Main street. l am going to return to
San Francisco, as prefer that place."

throughout the country, 1t appears that
the presidential campaign will be con-
Quoted In a more dispassionate manner
than the contest of four years ago. In
1896 nothing was omitted which would
have tendency to incite passion, anger,
fear and jealousy, but that sort OF
pelitics was overdone by the Republi-
cans, and more intelligent discussion
Of the merits OF the men and their
principles will be the rule hereafter.

The Houston POST.

Last Sundays Daily Post Trans
Mississippi Congress Edition,
which commemorated its fifteenth
anniversary. was a superb issue OF
a daily newspaper containing sixty
eight pages, filled with matter OF
general importance to the state
and of general interest. Few pa
pers in the United states have
ever issued editions as large ana
complete, and well may the people
of the Lone Star State be proud OF
the Post, a paper which has no
peer in the south and few superiors
in the union. The growth OF the
Post has been phenomenal, but
when we consider the talented and
ever progressive hands in which 1t
has fallen since the death of j. L..
Watson. nothing could be expected
but success and superiority IN jour-
nalism. 1t is at present managed
by r. NJ. Johnston, editorially with
q. c. Palmer in the business de-
partment. The Post is the pride
of Texas. and it Is receiving a
splendid patronage, which it is IN
every way entitled to.

5houio organize 10 EiS@t Ahin'
The democracy in and around
Ardmore is to be congratulated
upon its choice for national COM
mitteeman. Not only has the man
selected for that place met the
hearty approval of the entire dem
ocracy of Pickens county, but he
is being strongly endorsed by the
leading democratic papers through
out the entire Territory.
A. J. Wolverton is what is term-
ed a Great Commoner; he is a
man of culture and ability, yet he
is in close touch with the most
humble citizen in our party.
That the whole people have ut
most confidence in DIR. Wolverton
was shown by the large majority
he received in the late primary elec-
ton in this, his home town. This
almost unprecedented majority was
not due to lack of esteem on the
part of the democrats of Ardmore
for DR.. Wolverton's distinguished
opponent, on the contrary Mr.. Bled-
soc was, and is, very popular man
with his home people, and we
doubt if any other man in ArdmOre
could have secured his vote against
DR.. Wolverton. 1t was not that the
people loved Caesar less. but that
they loved Rome more"
The people saw in Wolverten a
man of unswerving integrity; a
man in close touch with their every
interest; a democrat who would be
a tower of strength to the party,
and man who would endorse none
but worthy men to fill their offices.
This rare combination, coupled
with the strong personal following
of the Doctors, makes him beyond
question the most available man FOR
committeeman in the entire Ter
ritory.
1t is not only well that we are
united on the man for national
committeeman. but we should not
overlook the great Importance of
close organization in the party.
concert of action and harmony of
purpose. for all these are neces-
sary to achieve success. By asso-
ciating ourselves together in clubs,
we will not only achieve greater
success at home, but will encour-
age fellow democrats in sister states
to do the same, that we may be
ready in November next to go forth
in solid phalanx to storm the
citadel of the republican party.
