YUKoNrS CAPITAL

Assistant Gold Commissioner Gosse' lin, of Dawson, speaking att banquet at Conrad City the other day, said that in all probability within short time the southern end of Yukon territory will be more populous than the Klondlke, and that it might become necessary to move the capital from Dawson up the river.
 The prediction Is one that not only might very we'll be fulfilled, but that is very likely to be. The development of the silver-gold properties in the 7i- cinity of Conrad City, of the copper properties of Whitehorse and the placer fields of the Big Salmon, Tes. lin and Alsek countries is progress ing in a way that will make room for hundreds on hundreds of laboring men next year, and the demand for men will increase from year to year until this end of the territory will surpass the other in population and importance When that time shall come, as come tt must, economy Of government and con- yeuience will demand that the capital be removed south to Whitehorse, Con- rad City or some other suitable loca- ton st this end of the districs.

INDIANA CORRUPT, SAYS DURBIN
Governor Charges That Votes Are Looked
Upon as Legitimate objects or Barter.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 0.-Gov. Durbin
created a sensation among legislators and
politicians to-day by direct charges Of
corruption in Indiana elections and a oonse-
quent lowering of the moral tone OF the
people. The fact that be went out of his
way TO repeat what had been said to him
regarding purohssabe voters caused much
adverse comment. but the truth Of his
charges Is generally conceded. He said
in part
I'VE have in Indiana advanced legislation
for the protection of the purity of the ballot,
but the statistics Of political debauchery
In this State for the year 1904, II it were
possible to present them. would be nothing
short Of astounding And In this situation
Indiana Ii not peculiar. am informed
by unquestioned authority that In a single
county of this State, casting in 1902 total
vote OF little more than 5000, there were
in the last campaign nearly 1900 voters
regularly listed al purchasable, and that
didates and otherwise waB spent by the
oontending political parties in the effort
to control that county.
within the most recent years there Is
an astounding disposition manifested by
many men fairly prosperous TO look upon
a vote legitimate object Of barter and
sale. Instances have been brought to my
attention during the last few weeks where,
in contests for the office of townships
trustees, votes have commanded as high
as s25 OF $50 each, and where citizens OF
substance have prosututeH their honor
for that price"

SIDE ISSUE OF BEEF TRUST.
Charges Against STANDARD Manufacturing
Company In Taxpayers suit.

Supreme Court Justice Leventritt re-
served decision yesterday on the appica-
ton OF Isldor j. Pocher, as a taxpayer,
for an injunction restraining DR.. Darling
ton and the Health Department from award
ing the contract for the removal and dis
posal OF the city garbage and animal refuse
TO Thomas F. and Martin ]. White, OF to
any ether concern than the Standard Manu-
featuring Company. which seeks the con-
tract on the ground that it was the lowest
bidder.
In the course Of the argument, Assistant
Corporation Counsel Guy, opposing the
application. declared that the Standard
Manufacturing Company IL a side issue
Of the so-called beef trust. The Whites
in Manhattan, Bronx and Richmond aud the
MoKeevers in Brooklyn and Queens have
had the garbage and otIal contracts for
years They are good Tammnny men.
Dr. Darlington, said Mr.. Guy, learned
some time ago that there was a scheme on
foot among the existing contractors to
increase largely the amount Of their bids
In order to defeat this proposed raid upon
the oity's treasury, DR.. Darlington visited
several large cities ia the West.
In Chicago he found that a company,
said TO be a dependency oil the beef trust,
had the exclusive contract Owing to its
intimate relations with the stock yards
the refuse was removed and disposed of at
little or no cost 70 the CITY. DIR. Darlington
couveised. said Mr. Guy, with Mr.. AllinR
Of che Chicago company, and Alling re-
marked that the company might bid for the
New York contract DR.. Darlington en-
outraged such an idea, without making
any promises, in the hope that competition
would benefit New York. The result was
that Alling came on here and the Standard
company was organized and became a
bidder.
If your Honor will carefully consider
oil the facts pursued Mr.. Guy. Il am
sure you will be convinced that this action
* not In reality q Taxpayers action, brought
in good faith 10 protect himself from un-
just taxation. IL is an action on the part
Of the great beef trust monopoly, using the
taxpayer as a nominal plaintiff TO further
its manifest design Of obtaining absolute
dominion throughout the length and
breadth Of this republic over the entire

the conclusion that new work under the

ment and modernzation OF the plants

all Of the thirtyone principal ports OF the
country were SO well defended that no
naval commander. unless he had vessels to
lose, would willingly enter one Of them on
a warlike errand. An extension Of sub
marine defence had been urged upon the
committee and had been approved by that
body For this object $500. 900 was inserted
in the bill, and Mr.. Iittauer said it would
require a like appropriation for three OF
four yeau following TO complete the plan

there are about 1000 900 children under

the great numbur Of children employed

year for the last thirty years there has
been some legislation enacted 10 do away
with child labor, yet the Dumbor of chill
dren employed has increased rather than
diminished
Il live in the heart OF the sweatshop

made the thread or worked the button

The University Settlement School in
