 An iafaag always sets up Il yell when i' wants something il cannot acf and that ts rho case of these t~o children
 They ale the laushiu2 stock of rhe town for thelr aeilfy n the fi4tIof due. and when pointed out the reason for the great scramble they saw how ridiculous were their claims and got as mad IL March hares

This however everyone kuoNs. with ouf mo teliMs them.
 They. each of them. are irving to hcto2 ,he atmosphere and pat d cloud oEer the real question. and | don't blame tAem much for that for this qatck-chanse business k em- barrassiug and certainly nothing to he IT nd of.
 They, each of them have been Republican papers in the past, and Will try 70 he again. Ir is dollars to douehnms finger bets don't go that ill he next delegate election he ther c. them will support the Democratic nominee Until the pres ent time the NeWs-Miner has always referred 10 our governor as J. Flop Along strong. Now il looks more like Slop Over On Strong. You know the reason as well as | do. s3 there is no use telling the story over again.
 The News-Miner s4ys lhar Charley Davidson. chairman of the territorial committee, would make affidavit that The Cit.Zeu was not a Democrat lc paper have not talked to Davidson upon that subject but there is hot the least doubt in my mind that he would for We are not the same brand of Democrats al all. No doubt he would also make affi- dayit that he was not uE before Judge Royal 4. Gunnison in Ju- neau on account of an escapade in that city short time before arriv- ing in Fairbanks, but that would not change the fact one bit. David. son IS known to have had the "affi- davit' habit as far back as the con Fehtloh Ill Valdez. and I don't know how long before that He expects to leave the city soon to take up his duties as surveyor general and a dozen other things, and I say good riddanee tn Lad rubbish. What the people of Juneau will have to say will he published later.
 The News-Miner took second fling at me CD Thursday evening because l intended giving the peo- pie someth 'ng to read which will be beneficial to them and perhaps save them dollar of two. "Fagin" being Thompson's middle name. he objects to another Fagin coming into the held to encroach upon his preserves. would imagine that would help Thompson cut more than it would injure him for he might then be able to lay the blame on the other Fagin every time chips are missing. as 1t is alleged they are, in a certain popular resort.
 This same course of lectures 6uld have been secured by Thomp- son by paying the price, but that is one thing these people insist on, and the price of anything is always Thompson's missing suit.
 You have often heard of the stop thief gag, and a fine example of that is given in the famous q" editorial at the hands of the parlor match editor of the Times. Ii was tarthest from my mind to tell the
