WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.

Certain Nome newspapers, which it is needless to name, have been devoting columns of matter on the subject of corrupt federal officials. Yet they have been utterly unable to specify in a single instance where the "corruption" lay. In the meantime, if sworn testimony is worth anything, the rankest kind of grating and the apotheosis of rotenness has been practced in conducting the affairs of a small and in- significant municipality. The assiduty with which these organs vfed and lampooned federal officials and private citizens leads to the belief that there was method in their madness. While they sawed the air and talked of Corrupt federal officials" they imag-
 ned that they would divert the attention of the pub-
 lie from actual, realistic fragrant graft the part of officials whom the people themselves had elected. This is the only explanation that can be given for
 the weary months of bowling and raving against United States officials the part of these organs They have consistently and consistently, will say howled wolf in order to distract the publc's aten- tion from their own rottennoss. They have shouted independence to their own grating and that of their friends they have preached honesty with the abandon of q freebooter, and have talked of public morals and public decency though they were on familiar terms with both. Today they stand un- masked before discriminating public the meanet of whited sepuchres and the opponents of all that st""3s for hypocrisy and sham.
