SPECULATION RIFE
The Consensus of Opinion, Both Here and on the Outside, Is That
 He Will Never Come Back, Al-
 though lie Himself Thinks He Will.

Gossip as to who Judge Moves success sor may be, is a prevailing topic these days, for few believe that Judge Moves will ever return to Nome in an official capacity at least, after he goes out to tell how it happened to the circuit court of appeals for the Ninth Circuit. There are few, however, who believe that Judge Moves will come back Among them is Moves himself, but those who are of his way of thinking are a mere handful.
 The citations to show cause why Judge Moves, District Attorney Wood and Attorney Geary should not be pun ished for contempt of the circuit court of appeals is set for October l4th in San Francisco. Even if Judge Moves es. capes that court and is not removed by the president, two exceedingly remote contingencies the Judge could scarcely get back to Nome before close of navigation, and he would scarcely make the trip over the ice.
 A gentleman, who by the way is not inte rested in the flight that has been made for Judge Moves removal and who recently arrived in Nome from the outside, says that Judge Noycs' tempo rary successor will certainly be in Nome before Moves goes to San Francisco. That he will not be removed until after the contempt proceedings are ended seems to be the opinion prevailing on the outside; but tha1 he will be retain ed in his present position is entirely out of the question. It is said that in any event President Mckinley will never permit Judge Moves to return to Nome in any official capacity whatsoever. The feeling both in Alaska and in the states is toO strong and bitter against him. Therefore his successor will be appointed. It is thought in some quar- ters that Judge James Wickersham will be transferred to this division sham will hold a term of court at Dutch harbor, which is in the Second division commencing on August IS, and from that place he will probably come direct ly to Nome and assume his judicial du- ties here.
 Some people, who assume to be wise, think that Judge Wickersham' stay should he come, will only be temporary, and that Judge Moves permanent sue cessor will be a new man entirely. Judge ShatTer, of Fittsburg, Penn., is an applicant for the position. He is said to be backed strongly by the Penn sylvania Congressional delegation and is recommended by the entire bar of his state. California, too, has several candidates. and no doubt there are others from various states.
 It is alleged that many strong atfi- davits have been made recently against

WATERWAY IS OPEN
Invoking the Criminal Law To Secure Possession of Disputed Timing Ground m kougarok District.-7 lien Sent To Teller Jail.

Mary's Igloo, July IO.-The town now evidences none of the direful ef- fleets of the recent flood. All the stpuc- tures which were damaged have been repaired, the streets have been grav- eled, many new buildings are in the course of erection, and the place has assumed the initial aspects of boom mining camp: The attempts to estab- fish towns elsewhere in the vicinity proved futile. John Zweifel, who ad- vertised q tract of land about two miles below here as the single safe place on the Kusatriem river, is the only man who has tent in his proposed city. Commissioner Cochran still retains the recording office at Birch Hill, which is distant four miles up the river; but, besides himself and his clerical em- ployes, the residents there are com prised of the individuals who staked an 8O-acre placer claim with the ex- pectation of subdividing it into town lots. Mary's Ieloo is growing daily, and without doubt it will be the dis tributing point for the Kougarok dis trict.
 On July , the last vestige of ice left Salt lake, and now the waterway be- tween here and Teller is open for navi- gation. Several small boats have re- gently arrived, but no steam craft have made the trip yet.
 During the past ten days, several eases over valuable mining claims have occurred in the local court. The GUS tom prevails of invoking the criminal law to secure possession of disputed ground. Lillian Malcolm caused q warrant to issue for the arrest of John Hinkamon, Gust Alexson, John Filing ston, k. R. Alexander, Dr. K. l.. Cray dants are accused of trespassing on 3 mining claim with intent to steal the gold therefrom, and such an offense amounts to felony. The properties affected are Nos. and below upper ,discovery on Quartz creek, and the pos session of the ground has been vested in the defendants since they made their locations fast summer. Miss Malcolm .elaims title by virtue of an alleged .prior location which covers all of No. and part of No. 3. At the preliminary hearing, the defendants were held to await the action of the grand jury, and the bail of each is fixed at $2,5OO. Bondsmen were offered, but theyfailed of justification before the commissio- ner, and the prisoners have been taken to jail at Teller. Subsequent to the hearing, laymen' of Miss Malcolm com menced operations on the controverted properties. Another action, which oc- casions comment among the bedrock millionaires, is entitled the United States vs:: Michael Hurley. The latter

One month from now, the
General Assembly of South Car
olina will convene, and among
the many things it will have to
consider, will be the election OF
several circuit judges. The in
cumbents for the first and third
circuits will not stand for re-
election and already there are
several candidates announced for
the positions. Our readers are
especially interested in the Judge
of the third circuit, and we have
already given our opinion as
who their choice is-Hou. r. 0.
Purdy of Sumter. 1t is indeed
gratifying to learn that not only
the people of this circuit favor
Mr.. Purdy, but the news comes
from various parts of the State
that he will be the next Judge of
the third circuit.

Here is a piece of news which
no doubt will be gratifying tc
those Of US who believe the dis
pensary system is calculated tc
do good. J. B. Douthit former
State Commissioner, under whose
administration there was SO
much scandal that the General
Assembly, legislated him and
his board of control out of Office,
and who, in the last election was
a strong Prohibibitionist, has
taken up a new role. He has
opened up in the city of Ander-
son, a branch of the Philadel-
phia Bible depository, and he
proposes establishing agencies
at other points. It was this
same Douthit who was charged
with putting false labels on
whiskey bottles, and now for
him to become chief dispenser
of Bibles, it looks as if the dis
pensary system ought to meet
the approval of the strictest re-
ligionist.

The Wright Bill' mention of
which was made last week,
passed the General Assembly of
the State of Georgia, and Gov
ernor Gambler has vetoed it. The
object of this bill as we explain
ed last week, was to permit the
various counties to vote and
regulate the sale of liquor, and
strange as ii may seem the Pro
hibitionists were arrayed al
most solidly against the measure.
They take the ground that if
such a bill were to become law,
it would forever take the ques-
ton of prohibition out of State
issues, and only give them pro-
hibition in the counties that are
naturally prohibition. The prin-
ciple of prohibition did not
weigh as much as future politi-
Cal expediency with the prohibi
tion opponents OF the Dill, and
of course, in order to defeat the
measure. Governor Gambler had
two classes to gratify-the sa-
loon keepers and the political
prohibs. In South Carolina a
similar bill met with the opposi
ton of Prohibitionists, and the
result was. in refusing to accept
a half loaf they got nothing and
never will, because those who
were inclined to permit honest
Prohibitionists to have prohibi-
ton in their communities were
obstructed by a class of psalm
singers who were hunting Office
by the hallelujah route. These
long-faced self-appointed moni-
tors of other peoples appetites
wanted the whole thing or none,
and they got none with big n.

OUR SENATORS.

Senators Tillman and McLau-
rim had a bout last Monday which
affords the scrap loving element
delight, but which is to be de-
plored by all who feel pride in
South Carolina. 1t is another
case of Tillman's bullying tao
tics, and we cannot understand
why McLaurin's patience does
not wear out. The sooner he
calls the halt on Tillman the bet
ter it will be for McLaurin and
the country. The Columbia
State. which is opposed to Nc
Laurin, and of late extremely
so, in Yesterdays issue comments
on the senatorial episode, and
is it treats the subject in a fair
manner we herewith reproduce
it:
Our Senators seem determined to
make spectacles of themselves. Their
made before home audiences last spring,
but when they exhibit their personal
animosity in childish fashion in the
senate chamber the climax of lndlgnity
has been reached.
The incident was precipitated by Sen
ator McLaurin's plea for recognition
as a Democrat. His associates of the
party Which sent him to the senate had
let it be known that they no longer
considered him as one of them; that he
must take his place formally with the
Republicans with whom he has for two
years been voting. TO this just char
acterization of his status Senator Nc
Laurin objected.
Then clustering Ben must have his
say. The point raised by Senator Hoar
gave Tillman his chance. Taking oc-
casion to chide McLaurin concerning
the challenge at Gaffney, Ben, the boss
of buffers, again dares his colleague to
resigp. This time the colleague is
silent.
With the personal enmity and the
clashing ambitions of the two Senators,
we have nothing to do. TIC US the one
is as bad as the other: we would rejoice
to see both in political oblivion. But
as representatives of South Carolina
we are called upon to express our Ideep
disgust and chagrin that they should
air their very dirty linen'' in the
senate of the United States. In this
matter, with his usual bad taste, Sena-
uor Tillman appears to have been the
chief offender. His hatred of Mr..
McLaurin an6 his challenge to him
have nothing to do with the question
of McLaurin's Democracy.

who in the days gone by, were be-
lieved to even have plotted assas-
sination to prevent his success,
are now clinging to his coat-tail
with a frmer grip than ever did
the wool hat boys in 1890" This
gang Of pretending friends, tired
of being held away from public
pap, have prostrated themselves
before him, and he is actually
walking upon their nechs. No
Chinese Boxer ever made a more
humble kotow before a Joss
than has the News and Courier
before Senator Tillman, that
newspaper never lets a day pass
without doing him worship. 1t
goes so far in doing penance, that
it reviles without rhyme or rea
son everybody else who will not
Join it in its incantations: even
when it brought cut its great eN-
position issue, it did not fail to
depreciate the efforts of the
Junior Senator who has done the
Exposition valuable ervice.
Fortunately, we do not believe
the News and Courier voices the
true sentiment of Charleston.
Our friend who is SO intense in
his administration for Tillman,
has come forward and given US
to understand that since we have
determined to advance views not
in accord with his idol. that he
does not wish to have our doc
trines inculcated into him. He
wants to remember Tillman as he
was, and not as he is today,
therefore he paid up his sub
scription and parted company
with Us. We did not like to part
company with our friend, but it
is far preferable to lose him,
than it is to lose our Individual
ity. Wenow believe that Tillman
has evoluted from an honest and
sturdy farmer, into a scheming,
selfish politician with a view to
re-enforce the good things that
he has done by seeking more
and more power for selfish
gain. He has reached that
stage where he can make
money. and his sudden wealth
has convinced US that it is alb
solutely necessary on the part of
the people to consider we'll,
whether it is not time that they
were looking more closely after
their own interests, than to give
additional power to one man.

OUR EXPOSITION.

There is tremedOuS buSl-
ness depression at this time, so
far as South Carolina is concern
ed: the farmers have not made
enough to meet the demands up
on them, and those dependent
upon what is made from the soil,
are embarrassed as a consequence
of crop failures; bnt, notwith-
standing this condition, together
with low prices for cotton, and
fearfully high, and still going
higher prices for the necessaries
of life, our people should make
every effort to lend encourage
iment to those who are making
the effort OF their lives to dis
entangle the people Of this State
from the business cobwebs which
are impeding our movements in
the business world. The expo
sition at Charleston is now open,
and ready to receive visitors
from all over the world. The
people of this State should by
all means go there and by their
presence encourage the noble
exertions being made in their
behalf by small band Of heroic
business men, who have given
their time and money to induce
the world to come and see what
is possible in the South. The
management has arranged for
sufficient attractions aside from
the wonderful exhibits, to en-
tertain visitors during their stay,
and it is also seeing to it, that
there shall be no extortion. The
exhibits should be seen by every
body. and every parent interes-
ted in his child's educational
welfare should, even if he has to
borrow the money for the ex-
pense, see that the child visits
the exposition. Every teacher
should feel it a duty to urge the
necessity of a visit to the ex-
position.
Ever since that band of public
spirited business men conceived
the idea of having an exposition
in the city of Charleston, we
have felt convinced that the
thought was not only patriotic,
but from practical business
standpoint, the project was one
which was bound to inure to the
benefit of the people of the en-
tire State. and with these feel
ings we have never faltered in
advising our readers to take ad'
vantage of this grand opportunl-
ty to bring about developement
of the resources of this State.
We have urged the counties and
the municipalities to come to the
aid of the exposition, by using
their influence to have their local
tiles prepare, and send down ex-
Ihibits. And Notwithstanding the
gates have been thrown open,
there is yet time for additional
exhibits from those who have
responded, and for those that
have done nothing so far. but
whether your community has a
place in the picture or not, it
Should be the patriotic duty OF
every man, woman and child that
has the welfare of the State at
heart, to say by. their presence
at the exposition, we endorse
this grand effort, and wish it
success.

COTTON CONDITION.

Notwithstanding the fact,
that the United States govern
ment, that does not speculate in
cotton, it estimates the cotton crop
of 1901 at 9,675, 900, Neill reas
serts his former estimate Of H.,
100000 bales. When the govern
ment gave out it's estimate, the
manufacturers became alarmed
and at once rushed upon the
market for raw material, the
price went up and was about to
continue it's upward course,
when Neill came back with his
original estimate creating such
a doubt that buyers are in a
quandary about buying. If the
government IS correct, there
will not be enough raw material
to supply the demand; if Neill
is correct. then there will be a
surplus. We have more faith in
Uncle Sans report, than the re-
port of Neill, because the for
mer can only be actuated N~ p
desire to seek correct "f.''. =
ton, while the latter :: u
the employ of spectators, whose
interest it is to keep the price
down by creating the impression
that there is a surplus, and then
when it is all purchased at the
low price, all at once it will be
discovered that a scarcity exists
and the price will go bounding
upwards. We would not advise
the holding Of cotton. but if we
had cotton of our own, not one
pound would we sell at present
prices, for, as firmly as we be-
lieve there is tomorrow, so
firmly do we believe cotton will
reach ten cents. The crop is
short is unquestionable; the de-
mand is greater than it was a
year ago, and we cannot see
any reason why the price should
remain as it is now. We look
for fluctuations brought on by
spectators fighting to stave off
the inevitable, but if supply and
demand have any influence upon
values, then, fight as they may,
prices must go ~. So far as
the producer is concerned, we are
afraid rise in the price may
not help him directly, but indi-
rectly it will, because it will
have a relieving effect, and
business men will find it less
difficult to make their arrange
ments for next years business.
