ROD AN OA CUII#
''On account of my wife's Illness 1
cannot visit Alaska this season* If the
people wi h to elect me I will serve
them as before, but they alone must he
the jucget. This has been and is now
my position."
The above appears in the Post-lntel
ligencer of a recent date signed by
Thomas Cale. Commenting ou the
message the Post-Intelligencer, says:
"Few men in Mr. Cale's position hav#
been faced with such a political cir
cumstance as he is in at present. Early
in June he started for the coast intend
ing to begin his campaign in Alaska.
When oo the road he received word
that his daughter Rose, who is living in
Dakota, wanted bim at her bedside.
He resounded to her call, and while
there was asked to return to the bed
side of his wife in Fond du Lac, Wis.
He bjd almost decided to withdraw
from the *ace on account of disappoint
ing his friends by staving away from
Alaska but on the urgent request of
his supporters declared his willingness
to remain a candidate, providing his en
forced absence would give no offense to
his supporters in Alaska. Reports
fiom the north indicate that .Mr. Cale
has a long lead over all his opponents
in the contest."
All this Is true and, taking Mr. Cale'a
words litera>ly, the Alaskan repeats
txUy what it said yesterday, that Mr.
Cale, by placing himself so entirely >n
the hands of bis frien.Is, allowing them
to commit themselves to his cause
and pin their faith to him on
his own tertns. forfeited bis right to
withdraw from the race at tbls time
when it is too late to enter another in
his stead. The situation ?o far as Mr.
Cale is concerned, has not changed, as
set furth above. His friends accepted
this situation nud were wiling to
take their chances with him just as the
matter stood. But. waitiag to h time
too late for them to act as they might
otherwise have wished to, Mr. Cale has
withdrawn and left his friends without
recourse. Ronan and Clum remain as
the only alternatives.
PARKER THE ARCH BLUNDERER
N?ar y a. I the newspapers of the
countr; , democratic and republican
alike, aro now roasting Alton B. P rk.
er as being the prue blunderer of the
late convention. The text of the rout
is tgK n f-om Mr. Parker'* resolutions
of eulogy off.-reJ before that body In
behalf of Mr. Cleveland, la which the
dead ex-president whs made lo serve as
a vehie'e for ?n indirect slam at Bryan,
the prime favorite. Many of the tbinrs
said were deeuird most untimely at
best, since thuy formed a practical
withdrawal of manv other things that
had been said of the great democrat at
former times.
The relation of Mr. Parker to the
Denver convention must have offered
him a striking object lesson a< to the
mutaollity of politics At the St. Louis
c >nveution even the stupendous blun
d :rioit he there committed could not
hold off the land slide in his f^vor, with
Hryan serving as the fire brand to op
pose It too. At Devver Judge Parker
tried to buck the Bryan land slide but
liis fire branding only served as a slight
hiss la a surging tide. Bryan and be
had changed p!?cts? though Bryan was
never qulti fu'iie at any time as the
judge. *
II TURNED TIME
Henry Weber was oaoof tho eet-rich
qulck millionaires o; the Goldfield won
dar-camp. He went to that camp a
mere roustabout and in a little while he
blossomed out as a mining operator and
was sooc riding In his automobile,
sporting a coat of arms? a turtle, by the
way? and was possessed of a big modern
offloe bu:ldlng; everybody spoke of aud
and to him as they do of ami oo the
elect. Ho had many promotions in
Goldfleld and was one of tho leaders in
the exploitation cf Wonder. He was
deemed so rich a year ago that nobody
thought of suspecting him of bad faith
In the ordio. ry affairs of business as it
was deemed that he had parsed the
sta?e where small deceptions were
worth while to htm.
This uian has just been sentence,! to
seven years in the penitentiary for soli-,
lug personal stock in his enterprises
while making tin purchaser believe
it was treasury stock, the proceeds of
which must, according to contract, he
devoted to development work. Deplor
able as is the crime and tho revelation
of the unworthiness of those who the
world would like to trust, the prompt
ness and severity of the corrective
measure to the already rich, is a deep
satisfaction as pointing to bettor thiols.
A Finley, Ohio centenarian li ul his
hair cut and said it was the first time
in seventy ye?rs lie hail sat in a barber
chair. Sometimes wheu waiting for
their turn it has seemed that long to
others ?Ketchikan Miner.
It can hardly be believed that the
hissing of his name ?t Chicago has
made a democrat of Vice-Prosident,
Fairbanks as the dispatches from
Indianapolis would indicate.
FEAR
By St. John Lucas.
When the summer twilight closes
O'er the river, round the roses:
When the panes that glowed,
Darken each a burnt-out ember:
This our sinken hearts remember,
And forbode.
Some wild autumn sunset burning
O'er the wanderer returning.
Kager-eyed? toilnd
Only faded roses, only
Vacant windows, and tho 'onely
Moaning wind.
