these two standard bearers of the
dry" campaign as men of most un-
usual force, untiring. energy and po-
litical fighting qualities unexcelled.
Indeed it is said that in this pair of
chieftains the Prohibitions have two
men of the Rooseveltian type Of
forceful character and love for work:
Chain especially is an extraordi-
nary campaigner, not only command
ing respect everywhere through his
terse, powerful presentation of his
views, but gaining friends by his
charm of manner and magnetic per-
sonality. The way in which he wins
hundreds over and enrolls them un-
der his banner may be likened to the
way in which men volunteer for some
great war leader and follow him glad
ly into the fray, unmindful Of whetb-
er it is a glorious victory or a still
more glorious defeat, caring only that
the cause is right. This personal
quality which has infused itself into
the Prohibition campaign has no
doubt greatly swelled the interest in
the country and indeed, the world,
already took in the war against the
saloon,

SULLY HAS QUIT GAME.
Declares He Has Forever Abandoned
Speculation.

New York, September 23.-Daniel
J. Sully who twice won and lost the
crown of Cotton King in Wall
street." has resigned the presidency
of the Cerro-Colorado Mining COM
pany and gone to work as clerk for
Hayden, Stone & Co., to give their
clients the benefit of his experience.
Mr.. Sully's new Office is at No. 70
Broad street, just across the narrow
exchange place from the dismantled
Offices of the Cerro-Colorado Mining
company.
Il am through with speculation for
ever. know that the new life is dl-
rectly opposite to that opinion of me
which the general public formed from
following my past operations. | know
that I was the pioneer of advertising
my operations in direct appeals to
the people. But know that | never
did an act that was not honorable,
and / will now show them that a
speculator can quit.
In 1904, before his fortune came
tumbling about his ears in the great
cotton crash, he ranked among the
very rich men of the country. 1t was
hard to estimate his wealth, but he
certainly was worth at least $1,000
600 and perhaps s10,00O,000. He
made hundreds of thousands a day
when he was the cotton king, and the
world of finance bowed to him, as
one of it's foremost leaders.
Sully's salary in his new office has
not been announced, but perhaps
$4,000 year would be nearly cor
rect guess at it.

Marshal at North Killed.

Gov. Ansel received telegram
last night about 1890 o'clock from
North, a small town on the IS. A. L.
south of Columbia, to the effect that
the town marshal had been shot and
killed by some unknown party. He
was asked to dispatch bloodhounds
if possible.
Gov. Ansel Immediately got into
communication with the penitentiary
authorities and Mr.. John G. Robbins
left here on the 11:45 train last
night with four of the penitentiary
bloodhounds for the scene of the
crime. There had been light down
pour of rain for several hours and
Mr.. Robbins said this might interfere
with the dogs in tracking the per-
petrator of this crime.-The State,

Cuts His Throat in Jail.

Branchville, September 23.-Mi-
chael Grimes, husband of Lizzie
Grimes, who stabbed Gene Smith to
death Monday, was arrested early
this morning as an accessory to the
deed.
About 8 o'clock this afternoon he
tried to commit suicide in the guard
house by cutting his throat. He cut
his windpipe, just missing the jugu-
lar vein and artery.
The weapon used is supposed to be
knife, but no weapon was found in
his cell. It is not known how he pro-
cured the weapon. He is still in a
critical condition.

NOTED FEUDS IN POLITICS.
Personal Quarrels Which Have AT
fected the Election of Presidents.

fected the Election of Presidents.
Instances in which personal quar-
rels have affected the election of pres
idents are familiar to all. Mr.. Cleve-
land himself had his encounters with
ex-senator D. B. Hill, and in 1888,
when Hill was elected governor o1
New York and Cleveland was defeat'
ed for president, it was suspected by
many that the differences between
these two Democratic leaders had
brought about this mixed result OF
the polling.
Twenty years Of pickering between
Conkling and Blaine terminated in
the latter's defeat for the presidency
in 1884. In the meantime Conkllne
had been forced from public life, and
he did not lift his voice against his
old antagonist. He merely declined
to speak in his favor, saying. Il am
not in criminal practice When cleo.
ton day came, however, it was founo
that Blaine had lost enough votes IN
Conkling's native county of Oneida to
lose him the electoral vote of New
York and the long-coveted presiden-
tial chair. -.
Charles Summers quarrel with
Grant did not cost the general his re-
election, but it contributed materially
toward the development of the l1ber'
al Republican bolt in 1872 and the
campaign of Greeley. Nothing in all
Grants career so disturbed his equan-
unity as the hostility toward him on
the part of the Massachusetts sena-
tor. The very day after the rejection
of the presidents pet project for the
annexation of Santo Domingo under
Summers leadership, the latter
friend, John Lathrop Motley, was dis,
missed from his post as American
minister in London, and Senator Hoa1

fist at the mute, unoffending walls OF
the house in which the senator lived

brought upon him again his old heart
trouble and hastened his death.
Van Buren's factious revolt from
the Democratic party, when it failed
to nominate him for a third time
was so destructive to party success
that his followers we're called barn
burners" and 1ikened to the tabled
farmer who burned his barn to rid 1t
of rats.
Another noted schism with far
reaching influences was that which
divided Jackson and Calhoun. Aris-
ing over personal incident, it play
ed it's part in the notification plan
which brought South Carolina on the
verge of secession in the thirties, and
cutting off Calhoun from the hope OF
the presidency, restricted his career
to his state and did much to inspire
and confirm his extreme dogma OF
states rights.
The acrimony between Hamilton
and John Adams was involved in the
downfall of the Federal party. 1t
disrupted Adams cabinet and depriv-
ed his administration of the indispen-
sable support of the great Federalist'
Boston Globe.

ALASKA LOOKS GOOD

The Daily Mining Record, published at Denver, Colo, is one Of the most widely circulated mining papers in the world. I.is the Oaly dl ly mining pa per in the Unl.ed States. Ia speaking oi Alaska as a mining country in a re- cent issue 1t says:
 "Iuterest ln the great northern ter ri,Ory never entirely diea Ou'. Even the early rush to California retains much Of it's charm-but Alaska, de- ssined to ever preserve much Of Its wild mystery, should never lose its grip entirely.
 i've all expect to see Alaska do things. It is rich in placer and quartz gold deposits; it has timber, aud oil, and coal. and tin-and maybe iron 2It surely has copper. Whichever way we exam inc it, Alaska looks good. But there are certain little creepers that might mean monopoly. They are the thraus- portatlou and reduction features.
 "Ii capital that is back of the build lug Of railways and reduction plants is the same as the capital Of the same men back iu the states proper, then will large independent enterprises prosper.
 For residential purposes, Alaska will never be oyer popular, and we can therefore expect the territory to be judged on a rigid business b,sis. It will DO, always be the place for the poor man, and maybe not for the poor cor Doration. Its railway possibilities will be open for years to come, aud redu 's- ion can be accomplished by indopend-

eut plants as well as by the trusts The point is, so long as Alaska looks good enough for the heavieL New York in- terests to buy in, there is something there worthy of investigation,
 "There Is apparently 30 effort to bring the business interests of the ter rltory into closer harmony, and the de- maud for laborars aud miners is iucreas- ing. Wages are good, md the cost of living should be rapidly decreasing. There Is more up there than the prey of the Hudsou's Bay company, There Is more than the Guggeuheims the Hnyermey5rs or the Morgans ever se- cured.

ANYTHING BUT \ FIGUREHEAD

This amazing sEit is from Governor Hoggatt,s paper, the Juneau Record, and of course Is offered the people of Alaska as showing why they should be happy in having uch man at the head and front of their affairs, supposed, at Washington, to be representing the interests of the people-SO SUPPOSED UNLESS THE PEOPLE PROTEST. The Record says:
 "It is ridiculous how men claiming to know can solace themselves with the idea that Alaska's chief executive, Gov. srnor W. B, HOggatt, has lost his grip on the helm oithis north land Hardly a day pass but the press reports bring word, of course meager aud indefinite, of his work, or the results of it. Yes terday it was writ in letters large enough for the most biggoIted and blind territorialist to read, in the announce ment that Prosecutor Harlan Of the Third district had resigned" Today we are told that there will be DO changes in Alsska's coal laws. Last week, after hearing by the territorial committee Of congress, that body, we are told, gave it as their opinion that changes in Alaska's form of government were not necessary, and would uo' be made at the present time-aud all this with Delegate Gale at Washington and apparently doing everything in his power to bring defeat ana chagrin to Mir. Hoggatl,
 That gentleman, however, is there to stay, and whiia he occupies the gub- ernatorial chair, will be anything but the dgurehead his enemies would have him appear"

THE VAST UTILITY OF THE STAMPEDE

A genuine strike and run of gold Is reported from the IunoEo, as noted iD another column today, but 1t comes from an entirely different creek than that which caused the first stampede Into that coun.ry. Gaines, the creek which caused the drst stampede, Is given up as blank. And this natur- ally suggests again some reflection upon the utility of the stampede. The stam- pede-that Is the starting of 8 stampede without just cause--is the subject O. many roast. And of course It deserves it, for the harm that may come to individuals that are led into 1t and who fail to make good. Where these are caused deliberately for profit to some person or company there is no condemnation too severe. But it is a historical fact, nearly all the great finds have resulted from s.ampedes that had very slight. provocation. Tho tunda- mental strike of the north country was made by men who rushed to the Klou- dke from Circle and EOrty~mlIe on information of a very indifferent fad on Bonunza creek, ou a claim that has never amonted to much. The real dis. coygry ou Eldorado creek and that which created one of the great stam- pedes Of history was the result of this, and Dominion, Bunker, SuIpher, Quartz, aud the others were later the result of the stampede.
 We all remember how the Jap who carried news to Dawson-Islse news Of a strike 10 the Tanana aud which caused the planting of 8 great camp came very near to being hanged for it.
 Greek after creek in the Tauana has developed big pay as the result of the labor Of the prOspectOrs who were On the eve of mobbIng the man who led them therein Ihe notion that 1t was done in the interest of s,orekeeper who had goods to sell and DO customers but who, being there, was disposed to test the ground. This is in line with the story of all camps. The wonderful ricbn. ss of Nome followed upon a small beginning. And the past only goes to indicate what the future may hold for Alaska if the prospsctor will ply his trade in that future as he has always done in the. pasJ-leaving the political miner to go his way and the mere ag- itatcr to three alternatives, to work, to move to other fields or starve,
