THE v LINING,

"About as silly a political liar as
is found in the confines of fourteen
states and territories is the hidebound
Democratic sheet in Roswell called
The Record. There is one good thing
about its fairy tales and that is that
they are rather amusing and provoke
mirth. After all, there is no cloud
without a silver lining-Santa Fe
New Mexican.
The all-wise Almanac which once
provided all plans and specifications
for the government of the Territory,
and whose cunning onc attracted the
wonder and admiration of g~rafters
throughout the world, now but a grin
ming skeleton, still comes back to
haunt us. Hear its bones rattle.
1t is up against a condition not
a theory.
Those Internal Democratic papers
have given the whole thing away and
turned states evidence.
But L Il I'll telegraph to Bursum
and find out what to do.
why don't the people come to my
aid? What means this horse laugh 1
near? Bursum, oh, Bursum.
THE divinity of graft must be up
held. Even my legislature is losing
its nerve-and the district attorneys
are frightened-but I'm not-the gov
ernor's only a baby, and I know the
ropes-In manage MIN all right.
Treat him kindly? What, compro-
mise my dignity and jeopardize the
interests of the men who do things?
Drive these upstairs off the earth.
When 1 am with you, what is there
to fear?"

in one of the pellucid ponds of the

their origin and growth either among

Paying $5.3S per copy for fifty cent

In the first place it is poor judg

not be examined before the purchase
is made. Catalogues tell very little
and are frequently misleading. In the
next place it is almost invariably true
that the boasted low prices exploited
in these advertisements can be read
lily duplicated in the home market;
and thirdly, every person who lives in
a community that affords him his
bread and butter certainly owes some
thing to it, and can pay it in no bet

This has been very busy season for the Alaskan road commission. Major Richardson, president of the conmis- sion, who returned home Saturday from kairbauks and Nome where he spent most of the summer, says the work has progressed in manner en- tirely satisfactory to those who have 1t in charge. There has been good deal of difficulty in getting supplies to the upper Delta on account of the fail ure of the small boats to run on previously arranged schedules, because of low water and other unforeseen hind erances. This compelled the commits sion to resort to pack trains and open boats. But the work Is being pressed and the trail between Fairbanks and Valdez will be completed fer this winter regardless of cost.
