SPIES IN POLITICS.

Y lie House and the Senate are greatly dis
< turbed over the alleged spy system which
is said TO have been practiced in. Washington.
They accuse the President OF placing spies upon
the legislators TO report TO him the thoughts al
each senator and congressman AS result pub
lie men declare they have been forced to be
guarded in their private uterances. Hints OF such
a system, it is held. were given in the President
recent message. The Legislators propose to re-
sent executive interference with their mental pro-
ccsses Probable the meaning of the President $
words in the message has been much distorted.
The President however has undoubtedly
sought to ascertain the views of various congress
men and senator's regarding his policies All po-
ltical leaders have followed some sort ot method
10 ascertain what their opponents are doing
But it has not been called by the exact word spy
ing" They are "just getting information.
Many political leaders pursue in states the same
methods that arc complained OF in Washington
They watch the other fellow and learn what he
is doing For instance during campaign one
method is TO shadow prominent leaders. Dur
ing the last campaign in Delaware Democrats
"shadowed' prominent Republicans and spies
watched their every movement. And VIC presume
that the Republicans kept their eyes upon the
Democrats Some of the stories of the spying
method as introduced in Delaware were anus
ing Several prominent Republicans were visited
in their offices by strangers who pretended to pc
interested in some matter but were really there
irving to find out what the subject OF their espion-
ace was about to do. One man whenever he took
4 meal in a restaurant, noticed that slick locking
stranger had his eyes glued upon him. When he
went home at night stranger was dogging after
him. II he took train, spy III the next seat
was very much interested in him. II he lighted
a cigar. man standing close by estimated how
much OF the match used in lighting was burned
If he went to church. spy sitting in the next pew
noticed whether he put FIVE cents or quarter
into the collection box. sometimes several OF
these spies were on duty.
Indeed the spying was carried TO a ridiculous
extent
or course the spies would often get incorrect
and exaggerated information
Ii two politicians by chance met upon the street
corner. the spy would report that some myster-
ious and deeply laid scheme was Matching.
The spy system seems to be an incident oi po-
litical life but it must be confessed that when II
is applied 70 the highest men in the nation coun-
ellis. it makes them uncomfortable But why
should a man holding exalted position as
United States senator, even so high a placS
congressman fear to express himself either II
public or in private. If such men cannot DC ireS
with their opinions, who can be? Let them move
fearlessly without regard to spies real or mag
mary.
And they might turn on the spies and give
them good sound drubbng.

NUGGETS CAMPAIGN

It is q hard thing to ask a man - much less a newspaper man or law yer - to admit that he mas been mis- taken. but the Nugget has always had Ia reputation for straight dealing. and, apart from the fact that this paper has never knowingly done any man an in- justice. 1t desires that the reputation for integrity that 1t has established shall be maintained. IL. therefore. is ready and willing to admit that story published in this paper yesterday was incorrect. It was stated that Judge Wiekersham or some of his ardent sup
 porters were showing to the people of Nome telegrams alleged to have been
 received from other sections of Alaska, but in reality manufactured in this city. This story was not published until aft CT as much investigation as the time at hand would permit had been made

 NEM YORK. Aug 5 There was a general upward movement un practi- eally every stock offered on the mar ket this morning. The rise in rail- road securities being particularly marked. Copper stocks of nearly ev- cry kind raised two points. but il is difficult to trace the cause of the rise. as the price of the metal has remained steady at thirteen cents a pound for several days.
 A raid was made on the stock of the Standard oil Company this morning. but this did not affect the stock ex- change. as Standard Oil stock has been listed on the exchange and Is traded in on the curb market exclusively. Standard oil stock dropped three points. and it Is thought the fall was due to the recent actions of the attor- ney general and other opponents of the trust.
