For "Missing" Klondikers.

If you've a gray-haired mother In the old home far away, Sit down and write the letter, Don't wait until her tired steps
 Reach heavens pcarly gate, But show her that you think of her Before it is too late. If you've tender message
 Or tender word to say, Don't wait till you forget it - But whisper it to-day. Nho knows what bitter memories May haunt you if you wait, So make your loved one happy
 Before it is too late. We live but in the present,
 The future is unknown, Tomorrow is mystery,
 To-day is all our own. The chance that fortune lends to us May vanish while we wait, So spend your life's rich treasure Before it is too late. The tender words unspoken,
 The letters never sent, The long forgotten messages,
 The wealth of love unspent, For those some hearts are breaking For those some loved ones wait, Show them that you care for them Before it is too late. -J. H. Vance in Fairbanks News,

Fairbanks Notes.

Geo.Apple, the we'll known Klon- diker, in an interview regarding Panama, said:
 From IA above on Fairbanks to 2 below, with but one or two ex- captions, every claim is working, and on Cleary from s above to 4 below, the claims are also being de- Aeloped. Several lays have been let on a number of claims. Chat ham is also being worked in places.
 A new discovery has also been made on Easter creek, which is To- cated 5 miles directly back of Che noa. Archie Mcclellan sold 6 above on that creek for $zO0, and after the transfer was made the purchas- CT told him he would have paid $3,OOO just as quick. He sold $50 worth of gold dust taken from the claim in my presence. Fred Me- Connell is working on a Fairbanks claim in which he owns an inter- est. The dirt there averages $4.50 to the bucket. Matlock < Green, on No. 6, Chatham, have rocked out $5,OOO duriag the winter, and have out large dump to wash up this spring.
 The self-dumper sent down by the N. c. company has been placed on 2 below on Fairbanks, which is owned by Mehon X Larsen. Nor rison & White, on 2 above on Fair banks. have 12-horse power boiler and hoist, for Which they paid
 800. Shorty Parks, on 6 below, E airbanks, rocked out three ounces in three hours. This was taken from dirt scraped of the bedrock. banned on nearly every claim and took dirt from different parts of the dumps and was surprised at the results. The best l obtained was 90 cents. My trip which was made solely for the purpose of in- spection, was entirely satisfactory.

CLEVEL AND.
TOM WATSON.
And FRED DOUGLAS.

but such is not the case. Listen!
In support of the very serious
charges he says:
In proof I offer the evidence
contained in the book called
The Life and Times of Fred
erick Douglas
That book was written by
Douglas himself and was publish
ed in 1895.
"On page 647 of that book
Douglas proudly boasts of the
distinguished consideration he
received at the hands of Presi-
dent Cleveland.
He never failed" declares
Douglas, to invite me and my
wife to his grand receptions, and
we never failed to attend them. "
Now, if Tom>Watson was not
familiar with the negro character
we would be inclined to give him
credit on the score of ignorance.
But not so. Mr.. Watson under
stands the motive that would
actuate Fred Douglas in making
the above boast in his book.
Being an ex-slave, this negro
was piVen great license in such
matters. The negro never
dreamed that what he claimed
there would receive serious atten-
ton, and nobody, especially
Mr.. Watson, believes that Mr..
Cleveland ever invited Fred Doug
las to wedding reception, or to
a White House reception on
terms of social equality.
Ever since 1860 negroes, Hot
tentots, Turks and Cinnamon
have attended certain public
functions at the White House,
and will continue to do so. But
Mr.. Watson's effort to make it
appear that Mr.. Cleveland, by
word or act, encouraged social
equality between the white and
negro races in this country, is,
to say the least, reprehensible.
A great many good people, who
have read what Mr.. Cleveland,
Tom Watson and the negro have
said, will believe &hat Watson
was willing to use fa1sehood to
vents bad spleen.

Ject OF selling large picture of
members of the households. The
dozen men were lawyers in dis
gulse working in the interest of
Tillman. They carried as a sam
pie of their work an enlarged
picture of Tillman, who was in
jail. They would not deal with
women, but insisted on talking
with the man of the house. The
exhibition of the Tillman por-
trait led to discussion of the
Gonzales assassination; the South
Carollnans were questioned
shrewdly about their feeling in
the matter; the results were duly
noted; the whole county was cam
vassed, and when the trial came
on the counsel for the defense
had a complete list of all the anti
T1llmanites and of all the Till
man sympathizers. If man was
called from the jury panel who
was against Tillman he was chal-
lenged or badgered into an adj
mission that he had disqualified
himself by an expression of op-
lnlon' the result was a Jury
box filled with persons whose
Jdgment could be accurately
foretold.

HOW JIM TILLMAN CHEATED THE
GALLONS.

A very interesting description
is given by Law Notes of the
methods employed in fixing the
jury in the case Of Lieutenant
Governor Tillman, of South
Carolina, who was acquitted of
the murder Of Editor n. G.. Con
zales, whom he shot down in cold
blood on the streets of Columbus.
In spite of the fact that the great
majority of the people of South
Carolina knew that Tillman was
guilty of a cowardly murder,
there were very few who really
believed that he would ever be
convicted when placed on trial
for the crime, and they were not
in the least mistaken. The facts
published by Law Notes, show
that the method ofgetting a jury
that would be sure to acquit was
as shewd as it was remarkable,
and evidenced careful planning
by those who had the matter in
hand. Before the trial a number
of men representing themselves
to be agents of picture-enlarg-
ing establishment went over the
country ostensibly with the OBJ

BRYAN DOWN AND OUT.

Bryan has at last begun to
realize that he is back number
in politics. He has practically
quit the field, and thousands of
his licutenants in all parts of the
country will sink out of sight.
Most of them have run their po-
litical races to a frazzled end.
Some, however, will keep look
out for the approach of popular
sentiment, mount it, and ride
again into public notice.
Mr.. Bryan went home Tues
day from the east, apparently dis
couraged. He has evidently at
last read correctly the signs of
the times, and has put the coun-
try on notice that he is down and
out, and will confne himself to
his little farm and weekly paper.
He said:
thereafter I shall make no
statements for publication re-
garding the national political sit
uation, except through the
columns of my paper. Xxx
Il am here to look after the
spring work on my farm, and 1
shall help the men for some time.
On the subject of politics l have
nothing to say"
Mr.. Bryan's retirement re-
moves a disturbing element.

Thomas E. Watson, always
erratic and intense. Radical in
politics and extreme in the af-
fairs that affect his everyday life.
Very unpopular with his neigh
bors, but bright and penetrating,
he has, to some extent, excited
our admiration, although we diff
fered with him.
We have believed he was
honest, but he isn't; he is
not merely uncandid, but he
will find great difficulty in per-
suading the public that he has
not deliberately lied, we might
say maliciously, about Cleveland.
What he has said about the
ex-president was born of malice,
inspired by a mean desire to in
jure man immensely his SUI
perior.
Since this brilliant young
man deserted the democratic
party and followed the ignus fatus
of free silver into the camp of the
deserters, Cor we might say with
Coin Harvey, Gen. Coxey, Alt
geld and others led the hosts into
the populist camp, he has spent
a great deal of his spare time
abusing the greatest democratic
leader and American statesman
of his time.
But few people outside the
ranks of his imm ediate followers
paid much attention to his vapor-
ings, so long as they had the
sem blance of truth.
Every man has a right to his
opinions, but when it comes down
to statement of facts, no man
has a right to pervert the truth.
Mr.. Watson, in his eagerness
to weaken Mr.. Cleve1and's in
fluence, gratuitously volunteered
the information CD that the .ex-
president had been as guilty of
metropolitan as thepresent occu-
pant of the white house.
The public naturally believed
that Mr.. Watson, one of the best
Informed American historians,
had based what he said on facts,

TOM AND TOBE.

Col. Thomas B. Fielder mag
unanimously proffered commits
sioner Obediah B. Stevens, a vice
presidency of the Parker club.
Cousin lobe, it is said, declin-
ed, regretfully. We use the
word regretfully, advised1y, for
we know Cousin lobe to be an
astute politician. He is
not only a well balanced ca1cu1a-
tor, but he can read the signs of
the times as far ahead of the
actual events as any man in
Georgia. For instance, he saw
the Hearst wave coming afar off,
but he missed the calculation of
it's height by a few cubits, that
was all. 1t was in no sense a
blunder, Cousin lobe does not
blunder, it was simply a misca1-
culation, but the Hearst wave has
rolled past, and the Parker
ground swell is upon us.-No-
body knows that better than
Cousin lobe.
He understands the advantage
of seat on the Parker band
wagon. At the same time he
realizes that it would be an awk-
ward place for him at the present
moment, until after his connection
with the Hearst boom has faded
out of the memory of his con-
stituents.
It came about in this
way: Col. Fielder, it is related,
was feeling good. and no doubt
looked happy and pleasing as he
entered the presence of Georgia's
commissioner of Agriculture.

discharging good teachers and too

teachers have acquired experience and

school boards to do is to devise con-
