The Sort of a Man Col. Tom Davis Is

The following interesting story Is
told of Col. Thos. B. Davis, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress from
this district. Colonel Davis is a man
of large wealth and is notably geuer-
Gus. An old German plumber Of
Piedmont once loaned Colonel Davis
$500. Col. Davis was then a day Ia
borer, had saved 5000, and was strug-
Cling to raise $1,000. The German
took Colonel Davis personal note.
The German moved to Baltimore, and
the borrowed money was paid back.
Colonel Davis some years after hap
pened to be in Baltimore in conference
with some railroad and coal people.
He went into a cafe, and there met
his old German friend of whom he
had lost sight for years. lnquiring
of him how he was getting along, the
aged German replied that he had been
burned out, but was getting on his
feet again and had an opportunity to
buy out a good business if he had on
ly 1000. As quick as flash Col.
onel Davis wrote him a check for the
amount. The German citizen is now
dead, but he lived to establish good
business and pay back the money
His family viii always think with
gratitude Of Colonel Davis.
1t has been Colonel Davis custom
for years to send his carriage to fun
erals at Keyser. He started it when
livery teams were scarce, but he has
consistently kept it up, all persons,
black and white, being treated alike
The republicans are putting up a
strong fight in Colonel Davis home
county of Mineral. 1t generally goes
republican, but Colonel Davis carried
it when a candidate for the legisla-
ture two years ago.

Fay for Cutting the Cable Between
Manila and HonR Kong.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE president
yesterday sent to the senate papers in
the claim of the Eastern Extension
Australian and China Telegraph Co.
for compensation on account of ex-
penses incurred in repairing its cables
between Manila and Hong Kong and
Cadiz, which were cut by order of Ad-
miral Dewey, during the war with
Spain. 1t appears that no formal claim
in behalf of the company is presented
by the British government, but the
president recommends that "as an act
of equity aud comfy, provision be
made by congress for reimbursement
to the company of the actual expenses
incurred by it in the repair of the ca
bles." The expenses of making these
repairs were about f012. These do not
aclude loss of business, which is esti-
pated at /. IL, 300.

Those who passed the ordeal were; T,R.

swore on the big book that he would never
strap charge against an Elk, no matter
how adamantine his cheek; Charles Nord-
hurst, who promised lots of things; G. S.
DeSucca, who said he would bring the
most beautiful woman of SkagWaV to the

stage is deep enough to put on an opera,
and 1t is fitted with wings and drop scenes
and flash and footights and all the scenic
parapernllia that is to be found in a we'll

The set scenes themselves are enough
for an ordinary drama or comedy. They
comprise plrIor set; kitchen; "Home
Sweet H me" cottage where the woodbine
twineth, forest scene recalling the one
in which Rosalind Travelled as page and
felt embarrassed for the want of skirts
when she met man in tn forest; a
street scene which shows a magnif :ent
perspective; a Maria Edgercome kind of
rom lntc Castle, and several other scenes of
beauty and utility.

among other things strongly urged that

"Another ma ter which needs attention
at w ishlngton ard at once, IS the legal
status at the Indian. We seem to have
the choi,e of reservation system with all
it's accompanying Disadvantages or the
granting Of tull equality to the Indian,
who has severed his tribal relations and
who can pass satisfactory educational
tests. There are m nv Indians perfectly
capable of citizenship. believe in maxi
favor of giving all privileges TO the Indian
and making him on the other hand liable
to its penalties. think we must do one
thing or the other Tor the old method of
existence is no longer, in manv places,
possible. For instance, at H4ines Mission,
was met BY delegation of ChilI< IS,
some of the finest Indians in Alaska, little
hurt as vet by contact with the white.
They were formerly great fur traders, buv-
ing the furs from the interior Indians and
hunting themselves. This has gone. They
also controlled trail to the interior. The
Dalton trail has spoiled the market for
their labor. Finally the cannery men take
cannery sites, as they have a legal right
to do at the mouth of the river and the
fish no longer run as they used to and they
they cannot take them high up the stream
as formerly. Something surely should be

ingalls, Propheti-
cally True Words

Nine years ago and more John j.
Ingalls, delivered . speech in the
federal senate in which he invited
attention to the evil which was al.
ready threatening the safety and en-
dangering the existence Of the re-
public. Ingalls, denounced 1t as the
tyranny Of combined, concentrated.
centralized and incorporated capital.
At that period the country was not
overridden by this evil as 1t is now,
and the Dingley bill, which has
helped to bring about present condi
tions, had not been passed, the gold
standard legalized, nor had the govern.
ment abdieated Its power in favor OF
the bankers trust. Then Ingalls, es.
timated the aggregate wealth of the
country at 100000 900, enough
to make every person living under
the American flag comfortable and
give every family competence.
And yet at that time there were
thousands Of persons who never had
enough to eat Since then the wealth
of the nation has enormously In
creased, and with it the number Of
those on short ratons.
1t was in that speech delivered Jan.
IA, 1891, that Ingalls, asserted that a
political system which under des-
potic power of organized capital can
be wrested from the people and yes
ted in the few is popular govern
ment only in name. "a financial
system he continued, "under which
more than one half of the enormous
wealth of the country, derived from
the bounty of nature and the labor OF
all, is owned by little more than
10000 people, while 100000 OF
American citizens, able and willing
to toll, arc homeless tramps, starving
for the want of bread, tequires adjust
ment. A social system which offers
20 tender, virtuous and Independent
women the alternative between pros.
titution and suicide as an escape
from beggary is organized crime, for
which some day unrelenting justice
will demand atonement and explsna-
tion."
That pictured tho situation nine
year, ago, and it cannot be truthfully
asserted that conditions have i'm
proved since then. The contrary is
the fact. The aggrandizement Of
organized wealth has since then
reached enormous proportions out of
all calculation, and so on the other
hand has the impoverishing of the
people gone on in a similar ratio.
