The contract for carrying the mail between Juneau and Douglas Island has been awarded to representatives of the Juueau Ferry $ Navigation Com pauy. "Ole", who has held the job for years, has been efficient and faithful, but there is no doubt that the new arrangement wit Oe better, and the service may be still further improved.
 The Juneau Record asserts that the "United Press" is responsible for the malicious lies about the Treadwell that are published in Seattle and hints that the Dispatch man represents the Alas ka end of the concern. The Dispatch man comes forward with a general 6aDi4I

CHEAP WATCH FOR BLIND.

Timepieces for the use of the blind
are made in several forms, but all are
expensive. A recent invention Of
George Meyer, described in an article
in La Nature and translated for the
Literary Digest, may be sold at rea-
sonable price, and is said to be effec-
tive, it being possible for sightless
person to tell the time within one
minute by the sense of touch. The
article reads: 1.-The hours are indicated
by movable buttons in relief on the
dial A strong pointer shows the min
utes. The blind person passes his An
gers over the dial; the button indi-
eating the hour he finds to be de-
pressed, while the position of the hand
gives the minutes. The buttons are
held by a circular plate beneath the
dial, which has at one point on its
a notch into which the
buttons drop, one after the other. as
the plate revolves with the movement
of the works. This plate, in fact,
serves instead of the ordinary hour
hand OF a watch. To avoid an undue
loss of motive force due to the neces-
sity of rotating the plate, the inventor
has furnished it with a little spring of
it's own, so that, although controlled
in it's rotary movement by the machin-
cry of the watch, it's weight does not
affect the main movement.

performances, when the slightest varia-
ton in time by either would be fatal
is certainly wonderful in its accom-
plishment.
Marvellous as are some of the tricks
performed by the Hindoo fakirs that
wander over India they are not to be
compared with the feats Of the
Bhikshus Of Mahatmas. The Bhik-
shus or Mahatmas never perform a
so-called miracle outside the confines
of the temples. They are looked upon
by the people of their religion as lit
tie less than the gods they represent,
and the wonderful tricks performed at
religious rites never fail to inspire fear
and respect from their followers
Efforts have been made by foreigners
to solve the tricks of the Bhikshus or
Mahatmas, but so jealousy are the
secrets guarded that they have been
unsuccessful.

A North Carolina lawyer says that
when Judge Buxton of that State made
his first appearance at the bar as a
young lawyer he was given charge by
the States solicitor of the prosecution
of a man charged with some mis-
demeanor. It soon appeared that there
was no evidence against the man, but
Buxton did his best, and was aston
ished when the jury brought in a YER
dict of guilty" After the trial one
of the jurors tapped the young attor-
ney on the shoulder. Buxton" he
said. 1--WE didn't think the Teller was
guilty, but at the same time we didn't
like to discourage a young lawyer by
acquitting him.

THE ONLY WAY.

with Apologies to Sir w. S. Gilbert)
If you want to find your name on the
Nations Scroll of Fame as a
Statesman great and rare,
You must get up all the germs of the
trust-denouncing terms and ,ex-
pound them everywhere.
You must talk in torrid phrases of The
Merger and its mazes and The
octopus, its greed,
(The meaning does not matter, if you
only pound and batter at the Fell
lows Who Succeed.)
And every one will say,
AS you below on your way,
eff this Great Man comprehends such
rot, which is far too deep for me,
Why, what an exceedingly Deep Great
Man this Deep Great Man must
bel"
Be eloquent in praise of the presiden-
tial ways and adore the Sacred
Stick,
Ger the Railroads strut and tower and
defy the Money Power by scorn-
full verbal kick;
Corporations, you'll denounee 'em;
Combinations, roundly trounce 'em
with grand reSOundin& roar,
You will laud the Poor and Needy and
condemn the Rich and Greedy and
the Grasp of Wealth deplore.
And every one will say,
AS you rant along your way,
'Tf this Great Man can defy these
chaps who are far too strong for
me,
Why, what a very powerful Strong
Great Man this Strong Great Man
must be!'' &
Then well delivered spasm pointing
out the Awful Chasm that Our
Country must avoid,
And a hint of self-devotion to its
Cause will give a notion that you're
pure gold unailoyed:
While to pile on like steeple trite old
phrases of The Peepul will be
bound to please their ears,
And a word to say how grand is the
example set by Lands will awake
their rousing cheers.
And the press will surely say.
When it prints your mug next
day
eff this Trust Buster can bust trusts
by talk so fierce and free,
Why, what an Available Candidate this
Bold Great Man would be!''

The proposed parcels post is
being strenuously opposed by
a great many rural newspapers
who argue that it will facilitate
delivery forthe mail orderhouses,
that it will drive all the country
merchants out of business and
thereby remove the great fnan-
cial bulwark of the country
press. But we don't think it is
so serious as that. The only
country merchant who would be
hard hurt is the non-advertising,
unprogressive one who never
does a newspaper any good any

The telegraph operators strike
is still going on and the telegraph
companies are still hampered in
handling their bushes: Very
little public sympathy is coming
the way of the strikers. No one
doubts that telegraph operators
are as a class underpaid and
.overworked; no one doubts that
the key manipulators ought to
have shorter hours and larger
salaries, but the conduct of the
strikers in the present trouble
has not been the kind that ELECTS
the appreciation Of outsiders.
They entered upon the strike
against the wishes of their
officers and have acted all along

recitation. And probably like
school boys they will return to

THE OKLAHOMA CONSTITUTION.

What kind of document is that
Oklahoma constitution? The
overwhelmingly Democratic con-
vention spent a great deal of
time and money in framing it
and then told the people it was
exactly the proper article.
The only thing that was proposed
and feared to be uncOnstitution-
al-namely, the Jim Grow meas
ure-was left out so that the
President could have no possible
excuse for turning statehood
down. Those who were in a
position to know said the con-
stitution was ideal. 'The best
ever" declared Mr.. Bryan. In
many respects superior to that
of the United States"
Then there began to be waver-
ing in the ranks of the makers
of the document. The convention
was reassembled and pruned and
mutilated and cut down and
changed the constitution so that
it was thought to be satisfactory
to anybody who had any desire
to see immediate statehood.
Then here comes Secretary
Taft, assistant wielder of the big
stick, copper for the square deal.
er, official spieler for the ad-
ministration, second boss of the
whole works. BEAT it," he
says. IT'S bad. l want to see
Oklahoma a state. but not with
any such constitution"
Now chat great, impartial, I'M
biased independent publication,
the Kansas City Star assures US
that when such a man as Nh.
Taft so strongly criticises the
constitution there must be some
thing radically wrong with it, as
he could not possibly be prompt
ed by the desire of not having
Oklahoma vote count in the next
National Election.
Naturally there arises the
question, What is wrong with
the constitution ?" AS yet its
defects have not been shown up
and the accusations of the Re.
p%ublicans read very much like
vagaries. Their only actual crit,
cism is, 1T doesn't suit us"
Now, notice what would be the
outcome if the constitution
should be defeated, Oklahoma
is Democratic. Before each
election the Republicans say "we
are stronger than we were before
and are going to win out this
time Then the election shows
a bigger Democratic majority
than ever, If twenty-five con
stitutional conventions could be
held, every one of them would be
ruled by Democrats, who have
already done their best at con.

would be no material changes in

don't like it would have to

President Roosevelt acted
wisely in staying out of the
fracas. From the inception of
the strike he was expected to
interfere and ample opportunity
has been given him to Interfere;
but he evidently sees that he has
no business medling in the strike
unless some one destroys Fed
eral property. Then it would be
his business to take steps to pro-
tect the governments interests,
as Mr.. Cleveland did during the
Chicago riots. Mr.. Roosevelt
did interfere in the Pennsylvania
coal strike when he had no
occasion to do so. But he as
well as Mr.. Mitchell now
realizes that no good came out of
that interference, but rather a
good deal of harm. So he prop
erly refrained from entering
