The Independent has often Won
dered why Chauncey Depew ever got
a reputation for wit. The truth is that
Depew being great corporation ad-
yocate and the agent of the Wander
bilts in the United States senate. it
was necessary for the plutocratic
newspapers to give him some sort of
a reputation, and he having no quail
fications at all as a statesman, they
resolved to call him wit. But as
Depew has at last said one witty
thing, The Independent wishes to give
him credit for it. In discussing the
Cleveland boom, Depew remarked: 'T
don't remember that they ever offered
anybody but Caesar the democratic
nomination three times"

The secretary of the New England
home Market club, Col Albert Clark.
estimates the losses from the drouth
in the New England states at the
enormous sum of $130,132,OOO. The
dairy interests are paralyzed and
many dairymen are forced to sell
their COWS for want Of any pasture.
What is true Cf the New England
states is also true in a great measure
OF New Jersey and New York. Mr..
Clark considers the property loss
caused by the western floods a small
matter in comparison with the east
ern drouth. The burden of it all will
come upon the poor. Prices of food
will rise in the cities and that will
reduce the consumption of manufac-
tured goods there as we'll as among
the farmers. The result will be less
work for those who live by their la
Tor. No man lives to himself and 10
man dies to himself.

 Upon a vote being taken the Americans "stood pat" and Lord Chief Justice Alvcrs,one seeing the justice of their position took their stand and voted with them, thus deciding in favor of the present boundary line.

 Judge Wicl;ersham instructed the jury as to their duties and the limits of their power in q clear, logical manner. Following is an extract from the instructions, of |
 particular interest 10 the public, m which he states that all crimes except felonies are to be left to the local authorities:
 It has always been the policy of the United States to encourage and aid her citizens, residing in the ter ritories, in their efforts to establish local self government. Pioneers. prospec,ors, traders and home seek CTS have gone into the wilderness, endured the hardships and dangers of blazing the trails, safely relying upon congress to establish our form of government there as soon as con- ditions would warrant it. Nor have they ever been disappointed, for as soon as the land is occupied and trade and commerce have es- tablished permanent centers, when the mines have been located and the natural resources of the coun- try are being developed, when pop ulation has increased and become settled, congress has invariably and in good time caused the establish ment of a government by the peo- pie. Recognizing the natural right of American citizens in the terri tory of Alaska to control thelr own local affairs, congress passed the act of 1884, providing for the ap- pointment of governor, courts, and other territorial officials. In 1889, acting in place of territorial legislature, congress enacted pen al code for Alaska and 1900 a civil code. The latter made special pro- vision for local self government in all permanent communities in Alas ka, having a population of more than 300 inhabitants, by the organ ization thereof into town and school district with certain speci- fled powers and duties. At the last session of congress this act was amended greatly cnlarging the powers of towns and giving then. and school districts included there m, all of the license fees paid bv the inhabitants thereof. It also empowered towns to elect local police magistrate, to declare what offences should be punishable as misdemeanors and to provide d penalty therefor, by fine not ex- ceeding POO dollars, or imprison- ment in the local jail not exceed ing ninety days, or both such fine and imprisonment. While we have no territorial legislature, town council organized under this act is thus given power to express the

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food With
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
