the same official bodies would not 20 through
the same farce and plant the Administration
candidate In the White House with like
indifference to the provisions Of the Consti-

What has the Supreme Court said or done;

Now, my learned friend, you are one of
the most conspicuous members Of the Ameri-

been prominent in the councils Of the Re-

Supreme Court Of the United States. and
no other officer Of that tribunal is more
justly esteemed nor more extensively and
cordially admired. You occupy with dis

Of it in behalf Of her people:

PILOTS FOR THE YUKON.
River Men Desert the Mississippi and the
Missouri for Alaska.

DUBUQUE, Ia. July is.To meet the de-
nand for competent pilots on the Yukon in
Alaska the Mississippi md Missouri have
lost many of their experienced river men.
The first attempts to navigate the Yukon
failed because the ocea n-going vessels
and their crews were not ada pied for such
service. IL was not until men were ta ken
from the Mississippi and Missouri that
the Yukon became a real highway into the
gold fields.
The Mississippi River men found nothing
difficult in the problems Of the Yukon.
They found deeper water and a steadier
current. Under their direct ions boat >
adapted to the business were constructed
The boats required greater power, beca use
the Yukon current is stronger than that
Of the Mississippi
The first pilots found themselves able
from the start to hg ndle boats by day
without difficulty. and after a little ex-
perence had familia rized them with the
stream they did just is well al night Dur
ing the open Sea son the nights re longest
and on the lower stretches of the river il is
never really dark during the midsummer
months.
Year by year more and more river men
were drawn away to Ain ska, till now there
is IN immense ira fflc on the Yukon. 1t may
be , indeed, that more steamboats, ply it's
waters than are found on the Mississippi
above ST. Louis. and there are ma ny times
the number on the Missouri, which il we'll
nigh aba ndoned. The best evidence OF the
skill OF these river men is that though the
ocean pilots could not ha ndle boats on it,
there has not been single serious accident
since the Mississippi men went.
Each stea mboat runs between st. Micha els
and Dawson City. 1000 miles, making four
round trips the sea SON

POODLE IN BATHING SUIT.
New Fashion introduced by u Young Woman
nj Coney Island.

Dogs accompanying young women are
frequently seen at the bathing beaches
at Coney Island, but the sight Of very or
binary looking poodle rugged out in a fan
mel bathing suit and trotting behind its
mistress into the surf caused the crowd of
bathers at one establishment TO stare yes-
terday. The young woman explained the
poodle's bathing suit to ono OF the life

The following Editorial from the
Evening Telegram OF "Wednesday is
of vital Importance to this city and
for the benefit of our readers who
have not read the article we publish
it i'll full
Superior is at a crisis in her his
tory.
We quote the following from a dis
patch in Duluth paper which circu-
lates in Superior, published this morn
ing, from Madison correspondent.
THE interest of tho Superior men in
the bill is due, not so much, perhaps
to their interest in the welfare OF Da-
kota farmers, "a tn the fact that they
want fees paid for grain Inspection,
amounting, they say, 10 about $4,000
annually. which should go to Supe-
rior "
This gra in business is no more tami
liar To the Evening Telegram than it
is to thousand and one other buSi-
ness men and working men around
town, but perhaps we have more in
formation about it from conversation
with the actual grain men than many
other people 80 we will say just a few
words about it at this critical time,
II you are loyal resident of Supe-
rior this conversation is addressed to
you.
If you are not loyal resident of
Superior, then throw the paper away
and pay no attention to the article.
Lust year there were six grain firms
doing business on our little boud of
trade. They were handicapped in
every possible way by their compcti-
tors in Duluth and Minneapolis ana
had to go to extra expense by reason
of doing business in Superior, but they
we've Superior men and had their
homes here originally and disiiked TO
go away They were offered induce
ments to 20 10 Duiuth IN the way OF
banking capital and office accommo-
dations, as well as slight concessslon
n other lines, but they refused to go.
They held two or three meetings
among themselves and decided that
this winter they would try to interest
the people in Superior in the passage
of new grain law. From large OK
perience they knew that if this gram
Jaw was passed instead of having six
firms on the board of trade in Supe-
rior there woLld be from nifty to one
hundred They knew banking CAPT
tai would come TO the city; large
Office rooms would be required and a
very large business would be built up
without the expenditure of a dollar OF

Of any sort.
Tney knew on the othe- hand, that
if this grain law did not pass they
would then have to move to Duluth,
They tell the Evening Telegram
