JUNEAU DEMOCRATS START
 WELL.

ESTERDAY was busy day for
 [ Juneau Democrats. The call
 for a convention to nominate a candidate for Delegate to Congress was issued by the Territorial Central committee, the Juneau Democratic Club took the first steps looking to- ward nominating a party ticket for the Legislature, and arrangements were made for holding an open meet ing of the Juneau Democratic Club at which Gov. Strong will give the voters of Gastineau channel and others in terested the benefit of his first hand observations of the present admins tration at the Nations capital.
 The official call provides for a COT. vention as nearly democratic in it's character as is possible under con ditions as they exist in Alaska. Dele gates to it from all the incorporated towns must be chosen through a primary election at which all members of the party will have opportunity to cast their ballots, and almost two months is allowed the Democrats of the Territory to discuss issues and candidates and prepare for the re- sponsibilities that are theirs.
 The attitude of the Juneau Demo- cratic Club, in discussing plans of procedure, was as democratic as that of the Territorial committee. The members of the organization present and the other Democrats there were alive to the responsibility that de- wolves upon citizens of the Territory

who are Democrats at a time when the political party to which they be- long is the controlling force in the Nation. The request that went out that individual members of the club prepare themselves to discuss the var ious matters of government that con- cern the voters of the Territory in advance of the selection of delegates to represent the sentiment of this community at the Territorial conven- tion was a step in the right direction one that is essentially democratic.
 The Juneau Democrats are starting we'll. Let us hope they will keep the course, and go as fast as possible.

Grave of Col. Williams.

Thursday, November 10, 1S57.-1t is
well known that Col Williams-the
hero of Kings Mountain-fell mortal
ly wounded in the moment Of victory.
With the VOW that he would silence
the whistle Of Ferguson, whose shrill
clarion notes rang above the din Of
battle and brought again the waver-
ing red coats to the charge, he rushed
upon the foe and fell just as the enc
my was giving away-just as the
whistle ceased to ring-just as the
shouts Of the victors were going up
from the Grand Old Mountain" 1t
was a fit requiem for the gallant SOL
dier the music which sounded so
sweetly in the ear Of Wolfe on the
plains Of Abraham. But it is not gen.
orally known that the spot of earth
where sleeps the hero can be distinct
ly identified. The tread Of pilgrim feet
have echoed through the ravines Of
the mountain, baptized in the blood
of heroes; but patriotism has never
sought out, nor love and veneration
consecrated that little mound-the
narrow house" Of the big-hearted
Williams. Two rude stones mark that
sacred spot, and oral and traditionary
evidence have alone given it local
habitation and a name"
But the chain Of testimony by
which it is identified has recently been
traced out, link by link, by VIM. c.
Black, Esq. From him we gather the
following evidence, which he has TAX
en- the trouble to collect: William
Camp, Esq, highly respectable citi-
zen of this district, now upwards Of
70 years OF age, who has resided in
the immediate neighborhood for the
last 5S years, says that tradition and
the oldest citizens, contemporaries of
the battle Of Kings Mountain, have
uniformly designated grave on the
plantation Of Mr. John B. Mintz, as
the final resting place Of Col Will
liams. The plantation Of Mr.. MintZ
lies between Buffalo and Broad River,
just at their confluence. The grave
was pointed out to him forty-odd year
ago by Mrs. David Quinn, the daugh-
ter Of Anthony Morgan, who resided
within forty rods Of the grave, when
Col. Williams was buried. She was a
grown lady at the time. The Ameri-
can army on the night after the bat
tie camped near her fathers spring,
and early next morning their dead
commander was inferred. This evil
dence accords with the well known
facts that the army retreated immedi-
ately after the battle for fear Of Corn
wallis; that Col. Williams died under
a chestnut tree, which we have often
seen, which until recently stood near
the residence Of A. Hardin, Esq, and
that the army, then in full retreat, did
not stop to bury him, but carried him
along with them.
The statement Of Mrs. Quinn was
confirmed by Peter Morgan, her broth
er Mr. Collins who lived in a mile Of
the encampment, at the time, likewise
attested the same. A Quixotic adven-
ture brought him to the American

would be mapped and marked. and
there would be an annual inspection

and all other information which would
be available when put into booklet

criticism. The final arbiter is the god
Of war, and death the penalty for be-
ing on the weaker side. There Is no way
Of depriving people Of the choice be-
tween liberty and death, and so there
is no way of preventing the dissatis-
fed from criticising If they are ready
to make such a choice. Generally crit
icism and argument and votes result
in a system that gives approximate
satisfaction. Happy the land that
avoids fiercer conflicts by pro-
pogating these We have confidence an
a ship captain because he brings his
vessel safe to shore; IL he does not do
that we are not likely to be convinced
by recommendations Of his friends.
We have confidence in railway admin
istrators who avoid collisions and who
protect their passengers and their in
vestors. Lacking these, those who
stand in the market place and shout
for confidence make but puny noise.
A Judge Should Not Lead.
1t may be doubted whether the
wishes and best Of men could con-
struct, in the strong light Of pure rea-
son, the fittest system Of laws. A sys-
tenn so constructed will not work.
Locke and others have tried 1t and
have failed. Law is not logic, nor does
reason play the chief part in its crea-
tion 1t grows in the semi darkness
Of ignorance and emotion, 1t Is based
upon racial experience, and 1t repre-
sents the custom and the interest and
the desire Of the average man. No
doubt Judge may lead the multitude,
but his leading can be justified only
by success. In general he must let the
multitude lead him. That judge is just
and wise who draws from the welter-
ing mass the principle actually immi-
nent therein and declares 1t as the
law. This has always been the judi
cial function in all the countries, and
for It's performance the Judge must
bear the responsibility.

cHANGEAsLENEss OF MAN
Tests Prove Steiner Sex More Fickle
Than Woman.

nan WOmdn.
Prof. Munsterberg, of Harvard, is
always making strange psychological
discoveries. His latest announcement
is that men change their opinions more
easily than women do. He has made
various tests from time to time, re-
cent experiment being with group
Of Harvard men and a group Of Rad
cliffe young women. They were asked
to tell at glance which Of two black
boards had the more white spots. OF
the men 81 per cent, Of the women 49
per cent were right. But after ten
minutes of discussion a second vote
in each case was taken, and this time
IS per cent 6f the men were right and
only 4S per cent Of the women.
The men were ready to change their
minds and the women were not. Per-
haps the men were convinced by argu-
ment that they were wrong, and wo-
men are proverbially impervious to
argument. Perhaps the men had re-
spect for the judgment Of certain ones
Of their number, and followed 1t rath-
er than their own. It may be that the
women were more stubborn or had
more pride Of opinion than had their
stubborn brethren, or that no one
among them had sufficient influence to
swing the majority to her way OF
thinking. And it may be that in an
other test of the kind the exact re-
verse Of the conditions would be
shown and the men, not the women,
would stand pat.
But suppose it is true that men
change their minds more easily than
women, what of it? What does it show
but that they are open minded, ready
to be convinced by reasonable proof
or argument, that they would rather
be right, than pig-headed? This view
Of changeableness, it is true, has new
er been taken in regard to women. In
them it has been regarded as fault;
they have been accused OF never
knowing their own minds; they have
been called tickle, vacillating, capri
cious. But what Of it? Let them take
what comfort they can from Nuns
terbergs decision that man is the va
cillating one Man will refuse to cal
it vacillation; he will say it is the
manifestation of wisdom.-Indianapo

look at the document and read there
the signature of the Rev. Werner Has
lam. He walked slowly toward the
vicar, but not before Sartoris had
whispered to him savagely:
Stick to it,"
Lord Beverley now had the paper
in his own hands, and he passed it to
Haslam.
Mr.. Haslam is this true?" he said,
extending the document.
But the vicar did not look at it.
Speaking with the greatest possible
effort, he slightly bowed as he answer
ed in low tone:
That is my signature. Lord Bever-
ley"
His manifest difficulty in speaking
but strengthened his assertion, as all
present thought that the clergyman
hesitated merely because he found a
very unpleasant duty before him.
But the vicar was not to escape
without telling a real falsehood.

ped.
But Beverley paid no further at
tention to the pale young girl. To the
clergyman he turned, asking:
And it's true that you married
them-that they are man and wife,
Again Haslam bowed, and then as
he felt the cold, menacing eyes OF
Sartoris on him he managed to add a
hoarse:
YES"
With a half sob and a scream, Lady
Diana flung herself into the arms OF
Lord Beverley. The old man gather
ed her closely to himself and then
glowered upon the smiling Mrs
D'Aquila and the stricken Brancaster
equally:
You hound!" he said sternly to
Brancaster. You, knowing this
come here and would have-Out OF
my sight, both Of you! Turn this
woman and this blackguard out Of my
house!"

The substitute vicar shuddered.
But will she make her claim-pub-
Iicly-soon? he asked, seizing a dec
capter of whiskey.
Sartoris took a puff at the cigarette
between his lips as he returned:
Cant say. She never meant to while
he lived. She was anticipating--er-

tion's changed If he jilts her she may
be jealous. perhaps resentful, and
we'll If the crash comes sooner or
later it's all one to you, my dear Has
lam. d'you see? You've got to stick
to it."
Beverley now raped on the table
and gradually the company OF men
settled into their places.

ouis. "and this is our last meet. Now

at the table of Beverley. Instantly
there were shouts of "Brancaster,

CHAPTER VII.
"The Whip and Lady Dill"


There was only laughter and joVial
clinking of glasses as Beverley enter
tanned the hunt at breakfast in the
great hall of Falconhurst, while out
side the hounds were being prepared
for a big meet The men, in their red
coats and full hunting "togs,' seemed
so many figures stepped out or the
frames Of the portraits on the walls
behind than of the almost princely
family of Beverley.
- Rut at one end of the table little
withdrawn from their neighbors the
Rev. Werner Haslam and Captain Sar-
toris were talking. The clergyman
looked anxiously up and down the
board.
where's Brancaster?" he asked, his
uneasy conscience troubling him.
But Sartoris was perfectly at MS
ease, and the others anxious tones
passed by him.
"Oh, he's driving down to the sta
tion," he returned in casual tone.
Hes been fussing all the morning
about a parcel or something he wanted
from town"
He's quite recovered?" asked Has
lam.
'"They think so. Talks of hunting
today" said Sartoris.
But his mind-his memory the
uneasy clergyman asked.
Sartoris shrugged his shoulders in
their we'll fitting coat.
Why" he asked.
when the vicar returns he'll read
that-that entry in the marriage regis
ter" he said, glancing uneasily up the
table.
"Brancaster's marriage?" returned
the other. well, didn't he marry
You know"-began Haslam.
Pardon me, know nothing"
You signed for him, persisted
Haslam.
NO. You wrote his name"
But the mark, the cross against 1t.
Sartoris was visibly annoyed.
"Brancaster's wrist was injured at
the time" he said. Dash it! we
must be artistic-he couldn't write"
What does it matter? The thing is
there" groaned the substitute vicar.
Quite so-in perfectly legal FORM
said Sartoris firmly.
He will know it's false" said the
conscience stricken Haslam.
"Neveri He never can or will-un-
less you tell him. said the captain
