WICk'S SUCCESSOR.

Concerning the report from Wash

declared that he will not be can
didate for reelection. but that he
will support Major Strong for the
office. we simply have this
to say: that the story seems so un-
reasonable that we doubt its truth
fulness and we do not care to ven
ture comment that might injure
an innocent party until we are sure
OF our facts We will say this. how
ever. that the candidate for delegat e
from Alaska will have to be a simon
pure Democrat and he will have TO
be free from all entangling alliances
that would in anywise conflict with
true Democracy or with the welfare
of the Democratic parry No good
can be done either to the Democratic
organization or to the principle of
the party by commenting upon the
Washington report or drawing any
conclusions until such time as we
know the real facts. Judge Wicker

FARMERS FREE LIST.

The stand-pat Republicans fought
the reciprocity treaty with Canada
on the sole ground that it was an
unfair discrimination against the
American farmer. They figured out
that by taking that stand. they
would arouse the former. who would
flock to their standard. The nsin-
cerity of their position vas so APP
parent however. that il failed utter
". The trusts did not dare to show
their hands, for at this particular
time the trusts are not very popular,
and a representative or senator who
has the nerve to make tight in
congress in defense of the corpora
lions and trusts would have some eX-
planning to do when he gets home to
his constituents. The Democrats were
not asleep. however. for as soon
as the reciprocity bill passed, they
Immediately introduced what has
come to be known as the Farmers
Free List" bill. which was certainly
body blow to the stand-patter. He
could not we'll take a stand against
the farmer whom he so recently
champoned. and as he hates any
reduction of the tariff worse than
the tabled hatred of holy water by
the Prince of Darkness. he was GER
tainly up against the real thing. The
Democrats had executed stroke of
craftsmanship the like of which had
not been witnessed in Washington for
many years The Farmers Free
List bill could not fail of passage
and it is now in the hands OF the
president awaiting his signature.
Truly it may be said. the common
people are having an inning, and
their hope is centered in the Demo-
cratic party

GET TOGETHER.

The Almighty undoubtedly made
the tadpole for some good purpose
though most of us have never found
out what the purpose was. But SO
far as this paper knows. He never
made anything else all head. And
even the Almighty never tried to
a tadpole. Certainly mere men can
never make a great modern city out
of community whose sole unity con-
sists of being all head. and every
part of the head being stubbornly
possessed of the determination to
find fault with everything the rest
of the head does.
Some cities. like Shakespeare S
men. have greatness thrust upon
them. but they do not sprinkle the
map of the world very thickly. 1t is
not just happen-so that the great
cities are these whose citizens have
stood practically as unit on all
matters that concerned the general
welfare and upbuilding OF the city.
No finer example of unity of civic
spirit could be found in recent years
than that displayed by San Francisco
in handling the recent earthquake.
Seattle is another fine example
nearer home. Some few hundred
persons found themselves located on
the only poor site for city that
could be found on Puget sound. But
instead of whining about what they
ought to have" or exhausting their
energies in stabbing each other in
the dark, they simply got together
and went after" what they wanted.
However they might differ among
themselves about other things, for

PRAISEWORTAY DECISION.

Without the faintest intention OF
discussing for the present. the mer-
its of the particular case. or the
rights CT either party. the Citizen
would like to offer its compliments
to Judge Cushman for his decision
in the case of Fey VS.. Bush ct al,
dissolving the injunction and order
ing the case to speedy trial. lnjnnc-
ton may often be a clever turn in
fighting a case. but except in a
very limited number of cases it is
poor way OF doing even justice.
Property is often tied up in this
way. doing nobody except the law
yers any good for long periods at a
time, retarding just that much the
development of the whole communi-
ty. and often wearing out the liti-
CANT of small means. or forcing him
to make disastrous terms, before
he gets a final decision. even if
ne SnOulu VIII Ill the cllu. oIlSilal-
ly devised as a method Of prevent
ing irreparable harm, it perhaps as
often results practically in doing ir-
reparable harm itself
AS the Judge suggested in his
decision, whether there is four
inch or forty-foOt vein there, it
cannot run away meantime, and the
way to find out who owns it is sim
ply to go to trial speedily and let
the court settle it once and for
all. The Fairbanks district has been
fortunate in the common-sense decis-
ions of recent judges; and if the
court continues this course it may
be poorer pickings for some Of the
lawyers, but it will be the best pos
sible thing for the poor miner and
for the camp as whOle-besides an
increased respect for the law.

other berries in this section. of the

addition to the living resources of
many family, but real luxury for

airy family is to get far enough out
of the city to reach the larger Der
ries or places not already picked
over. To accommodate such persons

train to Ridgetop on Thursday. leav-
ing at 500 a. m. and returning
about 1870 p. m. The train will stay
with the pickers all day, giving them
six hours in patch of about 1000
acres, thick with raspberries as well
as blueberries.
The fare for the round trip will
be $3.50.

An Irishman going along coun-
try road. saw a bull in a field paw
ing up the dust of his pasture, bull
fashion. Being of a humorous turn
of mind. it occurred to him that it
would be a good joke to take the
bull by the horns and rub his nose
in his own dust. The idea was so
funny that he lay down and rolled
and yelled with merriment over the
fun he was going to have at. the
bulls expense. Finally he climbed
the fence to put his joke into exc
cution. A moment later as Pat pick
ed himself out of the dust on his
own side of the fence and took stock
to see how much of him was left,
he drily remarked to himself. Faith,

laugh first" We have seen local ap-
plications of the old story.

Then Thistledown decided to go and tease

along and Thistledown climbed up in the

BY and by he saw an old nan who was

began to think he could get very rich max

who had never seen him laugh before
