defeated at the last session OF the
legislature. So his convictions come
not as a prejudice. but as the result
of seeing the light where before
he was cropping in darkness. As an
outcome of this system, he says,
political anarchy exists in most OF
the states of the middle-west. Parties
have been wiped out of existence
in some instances something that
certain 'rAsormers" will doubtless
regard as a blessing, although most
practical people understand perfect
ly that the party-nominations sys-
tenn has given the United States the
best government under the sun
through more than a century. Mr..
Conklin describes the situation in
Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and other
states and says of the commissions
Investigations in general:
In every community we have
visited there has been but one opin-
ion expressed by the decent, sober,
intelligent citizens, the business men
of affairs, the conservative profess
sional men, and that has been of
disgust and loathing for the political
anarchy in which they have been
plunged. Time and again we met
with the expression from the biggest
men in the cities we visited. For
Gods sake don't infiict this iniquity
on the State of New York;" The
stenographer's record shows the
character and vehemence Of the men
who have thus expressed themselves.

PARIS, Sept. 12.-The first in
stallment of Commander Peary's
recital of his expedition to the North
Pole was published in a special edi-
tion of the Matin today and had an
enormous sale.
AS notice was given that the ar
ticle was copyrighted the other
papers handled 1t with care, but
in their comment there is a notice
able disposition to criticise. This
is perhaps due to the fact that Com
mander Peary's reflections upon DR..
Cook are considered ungenerous.
The Temps is especially caustic
and expresses the opinion that the
first party of Peary's recital is really
favorable to DR.. Cook. 1t says
Peary's story is obscure and even in
CONSTANT, pointing out, particularly
that whereas his dairy up to March
Is is sc~rupulously precise, thereafter
it shows a HIATUS and the dates are
obscure and confusing. For in
stance, when the story stops, Captain
Bartlett had been sen back.
THE expedition was then in 87.48
anu Slui lar from the pore, tHe
Temps says. "Peary now proceeds
alone and whatever suspicion was
raised against DR.. Cook is equally
applicable to him. Peary's recital
up to the present offered nothing
more worthy of credence than DR..
Cooks. 1T is true, he affirmed,
that polar obsession creates a sort
Of madness. Any hypothesis, ever
the mosE unfavorable, is permissible
against both explorers"
The Figaro says: Nothing is more
painful than the spectacle of this
quarrel on the threshold of glory
1t embarrasses the sympathy which
naturally goes out to these two
great men. Returning to civilization
they encounter jealousy, envy, cal
jimmy ignoble pickering and hatred Of
success; they become the prey Of
parlor explorers and %savants, who
risked their lives.
Their affirmations will be dis
cussed and weighed by societies ant

Robert j. Conklin of this city has

other states both east and west, that
the system is a dead failure. Pre-

degree; he not only preached the

The News has in preparation a
Mining Congress edition which it in
tends to make representative of and
creditable to this district. The edi-
ton will be circulated in Goldfield
during the session of the Mining
Congress. It's appearance in Cold
field will be on Sunday, September
'26, the date Of publication here at
home. On that Sunday and the six
days of the session of the congress
which will follow, the edition, with
current numbers of the News of each
day Of the week will find large
circulation among those attending
the congress. 1t is the intention that
all shall have copies of the paper and
learn through it of the OF
the Ely district and the great work
the latter is doing. We expect that
a great deal of good will result
therefrom to the camp and that q
good many visitors will be brought
this way through the edition. In
aid of it, the hope is entertained
that there may be a good, strong
representative delegation of Ely dis
trict mining and business men at the
congress to help with spreading OF
the fame of the camp. Make your
plans to go to Goldfield.

The position of the country is
naturally strong. Great crops and
constantly improving industrial con-
ditions make it so. Earnings have
been good and there is realization
that they must reach high record
marks in the next several months
through unprecedented demands
made by empty shelves. Things are
going ahead with us all along the
line. 1t is the right time to take
hold and swim with the tide.

it offered to publish a reproduction
of a page of DR.. Cooks dairy and

clined the offer, saying the docu-
