IVORY ST. CLAIR, JR., GIVES
 ANXIOUS ONES THE LAUGH

Ivory St. Clair, Jr., the only boy in Chitina big enough to carry the Daily Alaskan each night and dis tribute the Leader to it's patrons, claims a bunch of Christmas gifts from his parents, and few anxious relatives and friends. While Ivory was out with the Alaskans on Thanksgiving evening, his parents left their home for short visit, and locked the doors. Ivory finished his work and on going home and find- ing the doors locked, kid-like, crawl ed in the window and went to bed. Within an hour his parents missed him and soon they and number of friends were searching the town for a lost boy. After another hours frenzied search, his uncle, Tom Clon- finger, suggested that the youngster must be home, and, sure enough, he was found fast asleep in his own bed. Ivory gave the folks the big laugh and says his socks should bulge with Christmas gifts this year.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-A canvas has been made of the situation and the general opinion is that all of the Western railroads will be tied up in a strike before December 10 unless an increase in wages is granted to locomotive engineers and other train men.
 It is claimed that the unions are in good shape for holding out in the event of strike and that it will be made general over all the lines af- fected at the same time. The rail- road managers so far have shown no disposition to grant the increase demanded.
 Portland, Ore, Dec. 2.-The Ore gon members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have voted to strike.

Pointing a Distinction.

The man who 'mongst our foemen boil

Who has their speeches we'll controlled,
And tells them what to do
Though he will face the fight alone.
And let no threat appall him.
With indignation in our tone.
"A boss" We freely call him.
But one who to our cause is bound,

prefer Stimson to Dix? What would
there be for him or his friends, or bis

with Tamlnany Hall a conspicuous bene-
ficiary?
Those who won at Saratoga accepted
full responsibility for their triumph. and
set about organizing for victory at the
polls. They put their own men on guard.
They arranged to star stumpers from
their own ranks. The campaign is in
their hands completely. Mr. Sherman

The Campaign and Absences.

Interesting as the present campaiS II
has been, some interesting figures nave
been absent from it. How much more
Interesting they would have made it is a
question. When in form they have been
known to wake snakes.
Mr.. Tillman is not in health. His con-
dition has improved since he was ordered
to rest by his physician, but he is not
now equal to the stump. Had lie been
strong, there are features of this year :
battle that would have appealed To him.
and as his services would not have been
needed at home he would have been at
call for duty else here. We should prob
ably have seen Linn in the debatable
states doing lis best fur democratic can
didates for Congress.
But what about sir. Davis OF Arkansas?
What explains his silence and obscurity:
Why mas he not lent hand-n0t To say
q tonsue-to his party? Stamping is his
forte. He stuInped lis way to his pres
ent office from humble place at home.
No man since the civil war has compared
with HIM in power over popular audiences
in Arkansas. Why has he not been tour
ing the middle states and the northwest
in behalf of a democratic House?
And there is George Fred Williams,
singularly inactive this year. Why was
he not a participant in that convention
shindy at Boston. where the police,
though present in force. were powerless
70 suppress democratic distributing and
enthusiasm? In other years he has shone
on such occasions. So far. this time he
las taken no interest in matters except
TO protest against Mr.. HamEn as
wOuld-be leader. the charge that the
latter was a railroad lawyer.
In Ohio matters are going forward ap-
parently without the aid of Tom L. john
son. whose name does net appear in any
Of the dispatches. Is MIR. Johnson dis
gruntled? While others are busy work
ing UP a Harmon boom for President by
rallying voters for Harmon for another
idle. or sngularly Indifferent about no
tice. Has he lost interest in the game
since his own presidential boom-never
robust-collapsed? Several years ago. it
may be remembered, Mr. Johnson, who
was then, through his control of Cleve-
land and adjacent territory, a man of
influence in Ohio affairs, was discussed
j little for President.
By 1872 these men may have recovered
their voices and resumed their activity.
That is going to be a year to tempt
everybody on both sides to take part.
and contribute of his store, whatever it
may be, for the good of the order.

Mr.. Sherman in the Campaign.

The appearance Of Vice President Sher-
man in the North Carolina campaign ex-
cites comment. Questions are asked
What does il mean? Does he confess de-
feat at home? Is it his idea that all talk
for Stimson is wasted? And has he gone
where he may accomplish a little good by
advocating the election of republican can
didates for Congress? Not all the repub-
lean leaders have abandoned hope of the
House; and the party has fighting
chance in several OF the tarheel districts
Naturally, Mr.. Sherman puts high APP
praisement on the House as party asset
He was a member of that body for over
twenty years, and one of the leaders for
two-thirds of the time. His strength at
Chicago two years ago came principally
from his House associations. Men with
whom he had worked as legislator
whether they lived in the east or west,
north or south. applauded the mention
of his name for the vice presidency and
helped TO bring about his nomination

Sherman may reason that he could not

Kentucky.

y dispatch from Kentucky announces
that Senator Paynter has opened his
campaign for reelection. He is allowing
himself twelve full months for action,
as the legislature which is to decide
the question of his successor will not be
chosen until November of next year. But,
though early. he is none too early i'll the
field. one Of his opponents is also
astir.
This is Representative Ollie James, al
ready an influential figure in the ranks
OF the Bluegrass democracy, and in the
national limelight now as one of Champ
Clark's lieutenants 1t was suggested
some months ago that the prospects of
democratic House and his own appoint
ment to an important committee chair
manship in that body might induce Mr..
James to postpone his senatorial aspi
rations. But he decided to try his fortunes
for promotion at once, and his friends
are SO advised, and are getting busy
This should make an exceedingly in
teresting race. Both men have always
been regular. In the divisions that
Organism caused among Kentucky demo-
Gratis neither Mr.. Paynter nor MIR. James
strayed from the party fold. Both sup
came one of the peerless leaders ad-
visers.
And both were regular in the contest
wnen Gov. Beckham lost the senatorship
for which he had secured instructions.
Both strove to have the democratic legis-
lature that was SO instructed obey the
mandate of the primary. Mr.. James was
mentioned as compromise candidate,
nominee Nevertheless, Gov. Beckham
was defeated. and a republican elected.
Both men were. and probably still are,
for silver. Both favor a tariff for reve-
nue. only. Both are anti-everything for
which the republican party stands. In
a word they are democrats Of the old
Beck school, which for many years COM
pletely dominated the politics Of the
state.
But the senatorship will not mOnopolize
attention next year. governor and
other state officers are to be chosen, and
candidates galore are putting out their
heads. Republicans are now filling those
places but last year in legislative and
county races the democrats got a fresh
grip on the situation, and are now full
Of confidence.
The democratic offerings for governor
include some good men. and the list is not
considered closed. Former Senator Nc
Creary is of the number, and, while he
expresses no desire to return to public
life former Senator Blackburn is fancied
by some who think him able to come
back" He is now a farmer, and il there
is a call he will hear it from the plow

Year of Plenty.
From the Boston Transcript.

The time for speculation as 10 what the
fruits of the earth are to do for the cOun-
try this year has passed. and the time to
take an account of stock has come. The
exhibit is very gratifying In spite OF
drought over consid cradle portions of the
country. and floods in Others; in spite o.
the warfare against insect pests that has
been necessary. the total of production in
the leading staples establishes a new rec
ord and strengthens the foundations OF
our national prosperity. 1t does not seem
so extravagant to speak OF the United
States as billon-doilar country when
We contemplate the forces of production
upon which such a designation is based.
