gla, but he took it upon himself to prance
up and down with Yeomans, and to har-
angue the Governor at the hearing for
Communication.
No Brisbanes wrote for Cantrell; no Con-
nollys lied for him; no Burnses and Rossers
faxed for him; no Chicago lollywops hurried
down here in Pullman Palace cars, to plead
with Sally and Jack for the life of this
Georgia boy.
And vet it seems certain that, had he
lived, he would have won many an estray
from the evil path that had led him into
trouble; and surely lifetime spent by such
Christian, in the midst of convicts, might
have been of infinite benefit to some of his
fellow creatures
Colonel Dean actually took Slaton to see
the boy; and Slaton heard testimonies to
the lads conversion, that might at least have
raised reasonable doubt in his favor.
But Slaton's heart was untouched: he was
adamant toward this Georgia boy; and
nothing the Judge could say nothing the
Solicitor could say, nothing the people could
say, had the slightest influence ON Slaton.
THE LAW IN THE CANTREI11 CASE.
In refusing to commute, in the Cantrel
case, Slaton wrote:
Under my oath I must uphold the law 1t is
not my province to make laws, but to execute
them. II the people dc not believe in capital
punishment it is the duty of their representatives
to repeal the low which provides for it.
The appeals that have been made for elem
ency by good men and women the promptings
of kind hearts and sympathetic natures Often
times apparent severity is really philanthropy,
and the enforcement of the law in this case may
be the protection of many honest freside in
Georgia, and may afford security to many
honest husband
The majesty of the law must be vindicated
and those whose kindly impulses urge them now
to request cemency will in their more thought
full moments recognize the necessity for law en-
fOrcement as protection to the civilization Of
State.
For the reasons stated I cannot interfere
unless at the same time am willing to make the
declaration that, while Governor, the law of cap
itaI punishment shall be repealed This I am
forbidden to do by my oath of office.

INVITED T1TES GIVE THE
PEOPLE, AND THE COURTS.
Don't you think that these Atlanta papers
might at least have told the world, that the
greatest Of ali courts, after the most careful
consideration OF the record, cinaicoted the
jury, rindicatcd Judge Roam. and r5adjcated
the Supreme Court of Georgia by deciding
that the State had tried and convicted Leo
Frank In the strictest accordance with the
Constitution Of the United States, the Con
stltution OF Georgia. and the Penal Code,
which IS the most lenient of all codes to %
prisoner at the bar?
Slaton has practically endorsed the libel
lous charges hurled against us by mercenary
lawyers, detectives, hack writers, jew edi-
tors, and jew millionares-tow
That twelve jurors wanted to commit
judicial murder; that twenty-three grand
jurors, 5hczuding fogv lees, stood pat
for judicial murder; that Judge Roam
adhered to the murder program un-
til saved by the late arrival Of the vir-
tuous John W. Moore; that our Supreme
Court In its first decision, favored judicial
murder by majority of vote and In its
second decision was unanimously III favor Of
it; that seven Of the Justices Of the Supreme
Court Of the Union favored judicial muir
der; and that Messrs. Rainey and Dawson,
Of our Prison Commission, also wanted to
commit judicial murder.
If Slaton's document means anything at
all. that's exactly the size Of it.
Yet, not single line can any Democrat
get published In either one of the Atlanta
dailes, setting the truth of the Frank case
before the world
What is the hidden motive of the Georgia
member of the National Democratic Execu
tive Committee, in gagging his daily paper
and not allowing Democrats to defend
Southern democracy from these Northern
libels?
What harm could it now do, to publish
both sides?
Has C1orh HoereU no pride IN the good
name Of the Democrats Of Georgia?
Ought the Atlanta Georgian collude with
those Northern papers who traduce Georgia
Democrats?
There were no Republicans on the Frank
jury, no Republican mobs created an atmos-
phere of Jungle fury around the loathsome
Sodomte at his trial no Republican sits on

and Democrats on the highest bench IN the

couver, and through the Lynn canal,
to Skagway, which he terms the gate
way to the Yukon, and describes as
"a wretched little town with decayed
wooden houses and grass-grown
streets, the scene of many robberies,
riots and murders at the time Of the
gold rush, which the police authorities
had neither the power nor energy to
control. Skagway is not, and can
never be, of much use to the United
States except as an obstruction to
Canadian progress, but might be Of
some advantage to the vast Canadian
hinterland less than twenty miles in
land"
Skagway Is surrounded on three
sides by a plateau OF steep and rug
god mountains through which two
trails lead to the north over the White
Horse and the Chilcoot passes, up
whose wild and difficult ravines thou
sands of fortune-seekers trekked and
struggled with their heavy packs,
tools and tents in the mad rush to the
expected Ell Dorado over five hundred
miles away. Soon after the gold was
found in quantities a mountain rail
road was built up the White pass
from Skagway to the summit and on
to Lake Bennett, a distance of 40
miles, traversing a wild and iceworn
plateau of gigantic proportions,
strewn with moraines. sprinkled over
with lakes and inclosed by snowy
peaks 5000 to 5000 feet in height.
At the head Of Lake Bennett lies the
deserted town of Bennett, where, at
the time of the gold rush, there were
lodged some five thousand people in
houses, huts and tents. The only
building now standing beside the rail
road station is a wooden Presbyterian
church-which shows that at least a
few righteous men were among that
sordid crowd. II was here that the
first prospectors and miners got into
boats and canoes and navigated their
frail craft through lakes and rapids
for the remaining 53l miles of their
venturesome Journey TO Dawson City.
The last stretch OF the railroad from
Skagway runs along Lake Bennett to
White Horse, few miles above Lake
Laberge, where safe navigation down
the Lewes river to Dawson begins.

Three Ways Of Getting Gold.
The various processes of recovering
gold in this region fall under three
main Observation-Disclosures, by washing
surface gravels with shovel and pan,
or by sluicing with fiume and sluice
box; small parties. by working drift
with mechanical scrapers and sluices,
or drift-mining in shafts and sluicing,
and capitalists, by dredging with pow
erful mechanical plants, hydraulic
sluicing with monitors, orsmining and
stamping ore In mills. The first class
includes poor mems diggings" and
the second requires more financial re-
sources and mechanical ability. but a
successful man in the first may be-
come a member Of the second class.
While the first two classes require
fairly rich ground, only men with ex.
ceptional ability and ample capital can
reach the third class and work the
low-grade placer gravels or quartz
veins successfully.
The author describes in detail the
several methods of extracting gold
from the frozen Klondike field. based
upon his personal observations, and
shows how man has changed the to-
Biography of this district, especially in
the valleys. First the drift miners
turned the gravel upside down, then
the dredgers plowed 1t I'll over again
and threw 1t into great ridges of stone

burying all below. dammIng up gullies
and producing new lakes. Al Of which
operations have made tough nroblems
