jurors, and that Governor Clark aided the attorneys and lobbyists for the Katalla Company in securing the dismissals.
 The charges, if true show a state of cor- ruption that is disgrace to the na- tional administration. If they cannot be proven, or even if it should turn out that they are unfounded altogether-which no one here or at Washington can reasonabl expect after what has transpired--still a menace is brought to notice that deeply concerns Us all. President Taft has declared Clark; that he will rely on him for every thing. In elaboration of this policy it is said the attorney general has taken into his own hands the naming and assigning of deputy marshals-each of whom, we may conclude, will be trusted in everything within his own particular sphere. This makes every minute part of the machinery for the administration of justice more di- rectly answerable to the president. From the manner of man President Taft is we would expect him to be influenced by the large einterests--interests akin to those that Delegate Wickersham charges spent seventy thousand dollars and corrupted jurors and witnesses to turn the scales of justice. Pres ident Taft might be ever SO just in his inten- tions and yet be misled by his trusted but interested advisers. Another thing: many by such conditions that he was forced to tolerate great wrongs without being able even to interpose a humble protest.

0ld.timer Rocking on the Beach.

From the Nome ln0ustrlal Orker.
 Rocking away on the beach sands on the lower end of the Sandspit with all the unconcerned patience of the pioneer is man named Stewart, who is a fine type of the old-time Alaska prospector. Mir. Stewart is one of the original Forty milers, having discovered Franklin Gulch in that district in the early days with Franklin and McHugh. He pres pected around Circle and Rampant, hay ing just returned to Birch creek in the former country when the big strike was made in the Klondike by Carmack, and did not hear word about it until long after the big exodus from Circle City had left that camp untenanted save by one or two standbys.
 Many years ago Stewart was in the Cassiar wben that country was booming and he did very we'll himself there. No country impressed him so tavorably as the Peace river district. where game and timber are plentiful and trapping profitable occupation. Gold he banned and rocked in many creeks. He has an idea of going there i'll the event of his going outside this fall, and perhaps will settle there. It was in '86 that he first came to the Yukon country and stayed there for some years doing very well.

Woman Would Climb Mckinley.

According to the Dawson News a a woman now has here eye, fguratively speaking, on the top of Mount McKin- ley. If Tom Lloyd gives her the high sign when she sees him she will proba- bly, make the ascent. She is Miss San ford, of Boston, is an experienced moun- tain climber, and is now in Dawson. It was her intention to climb Moosehide dome last Tuesday night to see the mid night sun, and hopes to go to the Idita rod and Fairbanks before long.
 Miss Sanford has climbed the Natter horn and other Alpine peaks. Two years ago she made the ascent of Mount Rainier by way of Paradise valley, but it proved such an easy task that this year a special trip to the coast was made in order to assail Rainier from the north side, feat that has been done by but few men and never before by a woman, and it, too, was accomplished.

and the conservation of land and water and the things contained therein is the vermin- infested trunk of it.
 Once in while some is heard to voice a belief that what is needed in the United States is less, not more, governmental ma- chinery: less, not more governmental inter- ference with the personal and private affairs of citizens: less, not more, bureaucracy and red tape. But he is behind the times and in a minority, and does not attract much nos tice.
 My own diagnosis of the Socialist Move- ment is that there is a subtitle poison around which an abnormal growth is forming, to later fester and become loathsome sore. The name of the poison is power. Rooted in religion, in superstition or in any form of hereditary or delegated authority, power is always a dangerous thing. The Socialists may imagine that by confiscating the devils stock of sulphur they will reduce the tenn perature of his domain to a genial warmth, only to find that the fire will later on break out afresh and burn hotter than before.

 Smoking huge mereschaum pipe, Mir. Stewart tells an interesting story of those early days and has still all the fire of youths ambition burning unabatedly within him.

OUR FRIENDS THE SOCIALISTS.

The Socialists, encouraged by sweeping victory in Milwaukee, declare they will next gain control of municipal affairs in New York and Chicago. They may do so, for American politics have progressed so far on the road to centralization that Socialism looms big on the forward horizon. There is no such thing as standing still: to advance is to cross the narrow border and enter into the dreamer's haven; and the only way to keep out is to come back over the long, stony and devious road that leads to a nerve less and decrepit democracy.
 There are many so-called schools of Social ism, but they all profess to have in view these ends:
 An industrial system under which all will work at producing necessaries and luxuries for the use of all. Wherefrom it would fol- low that :." .:.... :..:..
 There being no possibility of existence ex- cept through the machinery provided for all alike, individual interests would be nom existent; therefore there would be no need for political government; no war; no waste; no want; no Overwork; no crime because the incentive would be absent; no disease or immortality, because the breeding of men and women would be on scientific principles and their lives regulated according to strict rules of hygeine; etc., etc., until all the evils of the world have been eliminated.
 This, in brief, is the Socialists dream, which so many non-Socialists pronounce very beautiful but impossible of attainment. To me it's possibilities are not half so remote as its beauties are obscure. had rather be the widest Hottentot that ranges the South African jungle than to be a system-made in- ha oiali ii ioi <l 1r,f civilized man.
 Socialists are disagreed as to how the ulti. mate condition will be brought about education, agitation, the ballot, the perfec- tion of machines and the drilling the opera tives receive at the hands of their selfish masters, the control of stupendous indus tries and great numbers of men by single head-nearly everything that comes under their observation seems to beckon them on to shady groves just beyond. To me the thing they court seems to be huge central ized despotism, and my greatest fear is that they attain it and it may prove soothing to their W asted faculties that they will well come the change. My source of joy is that my life is so far spent I would not be resi- dent of their fat world for long.
 However it may end, Socialism is a real Movement, deserving to be printed with the capital NJ with which it's adherents honor it. The hold it is taking on the minds of men is shown by thousand circumstances sprout- ing in soil that would be expected to nour- ish no such fruit. The tariff and the trusts have carried the germs of Socialism just as certainly as the tenements of the great cities have bred the germs of consumption. Not an utterance or a gathering for the promo tion of nationwide or worldwide measures for the benevolent limitation of individual liberty of conduct but what is inoculated with it; the effort to make war impossible is bud of it; the mixing of govern ment departments with the country s indus

I do not claim to have personal knowledge of all of the items therein mentioned,-necessarily could not have such but do know that Mr. Morrisey was taking care of several of the Governments witnesses. l saw him take them into restaurants very many times Git was generally rumored arounud Juneau that the majority of the Governments wit nesses were broken) and have not the least doubt that Mir. Morrisey cared for them ill the manner shown in his account. In addition to this I wish to express my appreciation of the services rendered by Mir. Morrisey, not only in Juneau but also at Valdez during the session of the Grand Jury there. found him very efficient and competent and his acquaintance with many of the Governments witnesses and control over them, placed him in a position to be of the greatest possible service in defending this action.
 scarcely need tell you that Mr. Morrsey is an Expert Accountant employed by Mir. Heney at Cordova. He is anxious to return there promptly to resume his duties and I trust that you will treat him in a very lib- eral manner.
