Times BORN WITH
A CONSTITUENCY
u. s. Census Enumerators of 1900
Brought In 10000 Advance
Subscribers.

From the Times ("To-Day") October /.
1900.
Six weeks ago the circulation man.
ager, seeking circulation TO manage,
showed into a vacant second door
front on John R.-st. 1t was settled
that II there was TO be newspaper 1t
was to be something different from
anything under the sun. So the C. IN.
sifted into block No. Is and began
operations on Friday.
I'VE will find constituency for
compact penny paper or know the rea'
son why" said the circulation man
ager. Some subscription order blanks
were secured for the constituency and
Many OF the old governme census
enumerators were used In organizing
the corps OF canvassers and many or
the old postofice boxes were set up
for the reception OF the subscription
orders and census cards by streets.
This made the beginning sufficiently
official.
The canvassers sped forth like Lars
Porseua's messengers. east, west,
north and south. Tot with trumpet's
blast. but with an invitation to sub
scribe. At the end of the first week
the postoffice boxes were lined with
white order slips and manila census
cards. The circulation manager got
him another clerk or two and bade the
canvassers continue the good work.
What they accomplished the second
week so cheered the heart of the cir
culation manager that he went below
and bought the Office furniture OF an
employment agency out OF employ
ment. An ancient walnut desk was
pushed into the first floor front of NO.
10. "The canvass and the census sug-
gest that we will need il some day"
said the circulation manager.
So the days came and went. Like
wise the canvassers. Other desks and
other clerks came. too. The c. M
lifted his nose from the fine figures all
up and down the map OF Detroit at the
end OF the month. and calculated that
IL would require 100 carrier boys 10
reach the subscribers already secured
Meanwhile the postoffice boxes were
filling up. more desks and more desk
hands appeared, many books were
opened, and lively problems concern
ing newspaper stations. agents, routes
and delivery were wrestled with as
strange sounds came up from below
the circulation manager and came
down from above the circulation man
ager. The machinists, carpenters,
plumbers, masons and painters were
round about the C. m.
Six weeks from the circulation man
ayers invasion of No. 13 John r.
st. he looked up from his maps and
records, weighty with the accumula-
ton OF over 10000 names Of subserib-
ers. and found that a modern news
paper plant had grown up around him
He had found HIS constituency. The
Mergenthalers were singing cheerily
In the newsroom and the big Scott
press below was gnawing at the first
great roll OF white paper.

STR. LINDSAY FOR
 KUSK0KW|M

Apart from the overflow into the Kuskokwim from the lditarcd great activity prevails throughout that re- zion this season.
 The establishment of the new Mckinley recording district, at Ia kotna, under the charge of Dr. Green, shows that the government is alive to the possibilities of the district.
 In addition to this the N c. Co. is establishing several posts on the main river and it's branches. The new town of Tokotna is growing fast
 Another significant fact is that the steamer A. G. Lindsay, which has been plying between the coast ports and Southeastern Alaska has been taken off that run and was dis Kuskokwim. It was to go as far as Bethel, where it would discharge its cargo.
 From Bethel regular service of river steamers is being inaugur- ated by the N c. company and it is reported that another concern is being organized on the outside to take a hand in the transportation business there.
 The A. G. Lindsay carried 25 pas sengers to Bethel on the first trip. This is a large number. considering the district is practically unknown to the outside world.

 The invasion by America into the :; i fairs of Japanese Manchuria. Chin ese-Manchuria and Russian-Siberia has brought forth from each the voice of anger and the spirit Of ven geance. Japan demands that in turn for America sending her citizens into Japan to exploit that country. the Japanese be permitted to enter America without qualifications and upon equal privileges with the Citi- zens of the United States.
 China expects that since We re- fuse to abide by our time-honored policy of America for the Americans. peace to all, and pillage to none; but to the contrary now seek to ravage her land of it's territory. pre- vent her people the privilege they have known for centuries of enter ing the Philippines; the Chinese turn demand that they shall have the privilege of free emigration to America or the penalty of universal boycott of America's products be in- filcted as penalty for refusal.

The weak and wabbling and in competent administration of nation al affairs by the Republicans sup plies us with all the political argu ments we want; and if we will pre- sent the facts of Republican vacil- lation and Republican broken prom ises earnestly and fearlessly to the American electorate, l feel cOnfi- dent our cause will be sustained
 The Republicans promised that they would revise the tariff down ward, they told us that they would reduce the tariff taxes, but the Payne-Aldrich law does not do it. On the contrary, it increases tax ation and is a revision upward. That act convicts the Republican party of its plutocratic copartnership with the criminal trusts and the oppres- sive monopolies and shows the hollowness of Republican promises when it come to tariff tax reduc- tions on the necessities of life in the interest of the plain people of the country
 The Republican party has re- fused to investigate and prosecute the criminal trusts save where they declined to contribute.
 It has failed to pass the cam paign contributions publicity bill.
 It has studiously avoided, wherev- CT possible. the ratification of the income tax amendment to the con- stitution. SO that idel wealth as well as honest toll shall bear it's share of the burdens of gov ernment.
 It has refused to increase the powers of the interstate Com merce Commission in order to pre- vent unjust discriminations in rail- road rates.

The woman Bonney was the daugh- ter of d Carolina planter. who had disowned her by reason of her mar riage to a sailor. Even at that time Anne had a predileetion for mans attire. inasmuch as at the hour of her elOpement she employed 1t for the purpose of evading her angry parent. Eventually she ship ped with her husband and shared in his piratical adventures. Among her shipmates, who were ignorant of her sex, and also of her relation to the captain, Anne attained a rep utation for courage.
 Now. curious as it may seem, the ship whereon this female pirate practiCed the arts of the freeboot- CT was one day boarded by several strangers, among them another lady pirate of the name of Mary Read It followed that the women became fast friends. though at first each was ignorant of the sex of the other. The discovery that each was a woman came about through the declaration on the part of Mary of a romantic attachment for the Bonney person.

It was Democracy which warn ed our country that the victories of war with Spain would, if not watch ed. make victims of the victors. We bade our nation be on guard against the faltering allure ments of profit dangled before their eyes as an inducement to forsake the guidance of the fathers and ig- nore the traditions of their repub- lie.
 Democracy posted sentinels along the course of the new adventure of government by the conquest of the Philippine Islands; that these virgils might cry out from every emi- hence of danger, Thus far and no farther
 Democracy foretold and forewarn- ed of the complications of entan- elements the first violations of our ancient creeds would entail.
 We took faith by the holy law of the sacred prophets and cried aloud to the ruthless hands of the Republi can party madness. Remove not the ancient landmarks that thy fla there have set" To this came the response from our opponents - the authors and creators of the new policy of our undoing - branding us as traitors to the flag de serters of opportunity" and "cra- vens" to abandon the privilege of riches for the preservation of ideals
 When James Russell Lowell was minister to England he was ad dressed by Guizot, the French his torian, with the question, How long, MT.

 Our governmental masters at the capital, not content with the burden of 0,OOO,000 deficit, together with the dangers the Philippines put upon us, have now given themselves up to the service of unpatriotic financial interests of England and America.

Last month. just prior to his wedding young Edmund A. Guggen- helm, nephew of Simon Guggenhcim lthe m"n who wants to get rich at our e%pense), was awarded d we'd ding present of $l.0O0 fine and a day in jail as a token of the lack of esteem in which he is held by the Ney York court of sessions.
 Young Gueg pleaded guilty to a third violation of the automobile speed limit. It was urged by his counsel that as he was to be mar ried tine next week the court might refrain from passing a jail sentence as such would be a shock to the tanily and an unnecessary humili- ation tC his bride-to-be.
 The court, however. was of the opinion that members of the Cugg family were not so easily shocked, and the s,icn of copper -bottomed ariatCcracy was taken over the bridge of sighs to serve his sentence in Inc TOmbs
 The young millionaire's imprison- mem, however, proved nothing un- bcIgablc, as he was released at 1 p, III. when the legal day ends, af- ter an incarceration Of &5 minutes. By courtesy of the warden he was allowed lo spend the time in the codnseIs room.

Women have succeeded in pass ing themselves off as men and not infrequently. but. so far as is known, there have been but two women pirates - Annie Bonney and Mary Read, who were captured something over a century ago in the Caribbean sea, charged with hay ing piratical intentions" It was not known at the time that they were not men. and accordingly they were sentenced to meet death in the manner generally meted out to gentelmen of their profes- sion, then they confessed their sex. and they were in due course pun ished less severely.

SAYS HE IS THROUGH WITH T
Prominent Republican and Lifelong PIoteCtionist Accuses the Presi- dent of Helping to Deceive the PeolLe RegaI ding the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, June %. - Especial correspondence). - 'I am through with it.
 So spoke Senator Deliver of Iowa. again raise his voice. either in the senate of the United tSates or from the stump, in defense of excessive protection.
 'I do not propose" declared Dol liver, that the remaining years of my life shall be given up in dull consent to the success of all these conpiracies. l intend toe fight as 3 Republican for a free market on this continent"
 In other words the mighty Dolli- yer, for years an ardent protection ist is conscience stricken. He stands appalled, at the magnitude of the sins that have been visited upon the Republic and people by sys- tenn which he advocated with his own voice.
 His eyes opened. Deliver was courageous enough to say: "I am through with it" That is why his speech will live in history, because he said II am through with it"
 The philosophy of the Iowan, in itself was not new. any more than were his statements that congress, in passing the Payne-Aldrich bill, was dominated by the tariff trusts. Democrats have told the same story time and again. Deliver has merely indorsed the Democratic viewpoint, which is that excessive protection robs the many for the few.
 Senators regard the Deliver speech as the most impressive ora tory the senate has listened to in many years. It will rank among the foremost examples of American eloquence.
 Deliver analysed the cotton and wool schedules of the PayneA !drich law, revealing as he went along, the fraud and injustice and jugglery which will force the people to pay Outrageously high prices for the necessities of life.
 He also pointed out how the pres ident had aided in the effort to de- ceive the public as to the true char acter of the law.
 What a farce to send men all around talking about the rule of the majority, thundered Deliver, when. the most important business of the people has come to the bar gain counter, and men are author iZed to say: This is the citadel of protection; if any of you have con stituents that want anything, come here; we are dispensing power; support what we want, and take anything you think you need and the man who does not like it, and has no stomach for the fight, is requested to depart.

TROUBLE AHEAD IN
 |D|TAR0D

Charles DOlan, prominent Daw- son hotel man. has just returned to that place from the Iditarod.
 He says that when Gen Maus vis- tied the lower camp he was impress ed with the fact that the camp was quite incapable of supporting the large crowds which were Hooking there. The general had according ly wired to the coast towns warning them not to issue any more Iditarod tickets, except to those who had sufficient money or provisions enough to tide them through the coming winter. General Maus was afraid that the government would be called upon to take care of large number of indigents in the Iditarod this winter, and would probably have to ship a considerable number outside to save them from starvation.
 Dolan says that when he left the camp there were not more than 80 men working on the creeks, while the various townsites were flooded with idel men. It was esti- mated that there were at that time about 5000 people in the camp all told As many have been arriving from the outside and Nome since then the situation must be acute at present.
 Many of the stampeders are flock ing over into the Kuskokwim in or der to prospect there.
 There is not likely to be any shortage of food for those who have the money to pay for it, however, as it is said that there are enough provisions and supplies in the camp to feed the present population for five years to come.
 The chief difficulty, of course, is that the great majority of the stampeders have very little means, hills to prospect, even if they knew how.
 But there is such an immense stretch of virgin country in the Innoko and kuskokwim districts that there is every probability that many new finds will be made in that region before the fall.
 A letter just received from the Iditarod gives some interesting in- formation regarding the camp.
 The writer says that the follow ing prices are current:
 MealS @l'oo Stove wood, per cord :. .. 25.OO House logs, each .. T. .. .. 300 Lumber, per 1000 -. .. .. 15O.OO
 Logs are very hard to get, and stove wood is also scarce and of poor quality The writer of the letter and his partner could only cut from 1-2 to cords of wood per day, and at that rate were making from s125O to s15 per day.
 Ready money was plentiful, al- though no gold dust could not be seen. There was one log house In Twilight when the letter was dis patched This was a saloon, doing business of $500 per day.
