 licly known to Le unreasonably corrupt.
 It appears that the oldsaying, there must be a nigger in the wood-pile," is applicable to this case. It is claimed by some of the Wicxersham organs in this division, that Judge Day deserves great credit and praise for the way he conducted the investigation with refer ence to the charges filed against Judge Wickersham. There is no disputing this from a Wickersham standpoint, but there is from right and justice point of view. It is claimed that ''Day earnestly and without fear or favor made the investigation and honestly re- ported his 6ndings;" this statement is not true so far as the flavor" part is concerned, for we personally know that Day favored Judge Wickersham by refusing to receive testimony as to facts detrimental to recommendation for reappointment, and if he honestly reported his findings, he must have C. mitted his duty in refusing to investi- gate Rampant Court Center. If Judge Wickersham's record was such that it could bear this close examination and remain unsoiled," why were such methods adopted to prevent and foil an investigation of, the illegal and corrupt action of Federal officials at this place? The statement is true that, "a Judge to maintain his dignity and preserve his usefulness asa Judge must banish from his mind all prejudice and person al feelings thus qualifying himself for the faithful performance of his duty.'
 But, Judge Wickersham is not such a man, he fully demonstrated this fail ing in many ways during the July, 1903, term of court at Rampant. In the case of Hugo Schmidt vs Commissioner J. Lindley Green, action for $2,000 dama- ges for false imprisonment; Judge Wickersham refused to wait one min ute for a stenographer to be brought into the court room for the purpose of taking the proceedings, thereby pre- venting an official record of the act ion of the court. At the conclusion of the testimony of the witnesses for the plaintiff, Judge Wickersham, without motion from counsel, ordered a mem- n C C.l F C

SATURDAY., JANUARY IA, 1905.
 ALASKA coast papers mention Judge Days investigation of Governor Brady as having been carried solely on the line of inquiry as to Brady's moral tur- ptitude, and entirely ignoring anything pertaining to the merits or demerits of his administrative executive ability
 The excuse is given,- by those who ac- companied Day on his tour of Alaska, for the investigator" acting this line, is that the president did not consider the office of governor of sufficient inn portance. to justifya rigid investigation into the present incumbent's executive akin.,. tat were the governors ad- ministrative executive powers iHereas- ed by congress, Brady's application for re-appointment would receive very little consideration. %
 Such reasons are poor excuses for the endorsement of Brady by Day; man to govern as intelligent class of peo- pie as Alaskans, the majority of whom were American citizens long before the starting up of the great Brady Wicker sham political mill for the grinding out of citizens and voters. Indications all point clearly to the fact that Days in- vestigation of Governor Brady, through out Alaska was about as thorough as it was on the Yukon touching Judge Wick ersham. We would like to hear the ex- cuse, as given by Days touring com panions, for his refusal to investigate the judicial affairs of the Rampant court center. If Judge Day's investigation of Judge Brown and Marshal Richards was as careless and f1imsy, in their sep arate divisions, as it was of the officials on the Yukon, the corruption of those men must have been something awful to cause Day to censure and recommend these officials be turned out, and at the time retain in office such men as Judge Wickersham, Commissioner J. Lindley Green, and Deputy marshal George

Good Times Everywhere.

With the opening of the business
year-April 1st is generally regarded
as such-comes the most encouraging
reports from all over the country as to
business conditions. In Harrisburg
business was never better and from ali
branches of trade comes the answers,
1--WE are active, have nothing to COM
plain of and the outlook is very good :"
Others say, eve expect good bust
ness for four years at least, and every
indication points to continuation of
the prosperity"
Industrial plants are running full
capacity, and many on double turns,
and wages generally are satisfactory.
In mercantile circles there is increas-
ed activity, and there is satisfaction
on every hand.
Bradstreet says that reports from
10S cities show building expenditure
during the year of S455, ,0O0, 900, and
thinks it will total with other cities not
reported to S600,00O,OO0 In railway
building orders have been given for
equipement to the amount of 5000, ,0OO,-
600, and aggregate expenditure for
material and labor close to $500, 900, 900.
Figures such as these are colossal, and
can hardly be grasped, but big things
are happening in these days of pros
perity.
In mercantile circles throughout the
country there is an unusual stimulus
in dry goods, clothing, shoes and mill
linery, and the lumber and hardware
business is booming. There has been
a remarkable demand for steel in the
past few months.

SPRING.

For the PRESS
Trot out your patent medicines.
And bring around your pills;
For Spring is now approaching,
With alternate sweats and chills.
The hen has called the strike off,
Which makes us very glad,
Wen have some eggs for Easter,
If they are a little bad.
The little calves are bleating,
And on their rope they jerk,
We will dine upon veal outlets,
Instead of old salt pork.
The little Japs are fighting,
In way that's really charming,
The anxious Russians hurry home,
To take up spring farming.
Here's little word of warning,
To the sickly and the pale,
Hang on to your old fiannels,
Ifthey are a little stale.

PORCH At HOTEL GAVE WAY
Number Of People Fell About Ten Feet
to the Ground.
No One Wa Seriously Injured But
Five Ladies Fainted-Three OF
Those Who tainted Remained at the
Scashorc Last Night.-TwO Young
Men Slightly Hurt.

Last night about $50 O'Clock a Sec
ton of the porch at the Seaslore hotel,
between the dining hall and ball room,
gave way and precipitated about 20 Ia
dies and gentlemen to the ground be-
low, a distance of about ten feet. For
tunately no one was seriously hurt, but
five ladies tainted.
Those who tainted were Mrs. Z. II.
Sneed, Miss Ray Sneed, Miss TalIulall
GeROsset, Miss Thurber Gore and Miss
Sears. Mr.. Louis Moore got one of his
legs hurt and Mr.. John Craig, of Char
lotte, received d scalp wound. Of those
who tainted no one vas apparently
hurt except Miss Gore, whose nose was
broken. Mrs. Sneed, Miss Sneed and
Miss deIsosSet did not return to the
city last night, but upon the advices OF
attending physician remained at the
seaShore.
There was IL large crowd Of people
at the SeaShOre hotel last night, many
being there for tn weekend dance and
quite Il number were i'll the ball rOom
dancing when the porch gave way. Il
few minutes before q hard rain had
begun falling and blew into the outer
edge of the porch. This caused the
crowd to cOngregate on that section Of
the porch between the ball Dor and
dining hall. The crowd was suddenly
Mortified to feel the porch give way and
the next instant at least 20 people were
Oh the ground below. The entire porch
did not give way, only II side of it,
but the incline was so steep that no
III could stand on it.
Immediately after the porch fell con-
siderable excitement ensued for every
II who lat some person OF the beach
dear to them was certain they had fall
en- with the porch and several had to
be held to be prevented from jumping
IntG the opening for the purpose
of seeing if II of their people were
in there. In Il short time order was re-
stored and the ladies who had tainted
taken into the dining hall. DR.. Thomas
81. Green was at the hotel and he and
a Dr. Howell, who is stopping at the
hotel, ut once vent to work to rey1Ve
those who had tainted.
It is said that the porch at the point
where il gave way was only nailed to
the house instead of having pillars I'M
the people rushing to that point to get
out of the rain made the porch give

in his power to aid those who were on
the porch when it fell.
