ANOTHER REFORMER
j
Gov. Hanly, of Indiana, has joined '
the list of reform governors. In a re- j
cent speech he attacked the dollar mak
ing disease in strong lauguage. Among
other things he said:
"This nation has gone money mad.
For ten years this land has enjoyed ma- j
terial wealth and prosperity such as.
the world has never before seen, and
during that liice this madness has come '
upon us in full force. We have forgot
ten the commandment, 'Thou shalt not
steal.' and we are taking the position it
is no matter how money is obtained.
We cannot continue in this rut indeti- j
nitely and secure the continuance of
free institutions. The dangers of peace
will destroy this country at the present,
just as certainly as a disastrous war."
Democratic reform in Massachusetts
was short lived. After one year under
the leadership of the fearless, honest j
and able Gov. Douglas, they nominate
Henry M. Whitney. whom Lawson says is
at the bead of the legislature corrupting
lobby, for lieutenant governor. Whitney
was a brother of the late W. C. Whit
ney, former cabinet officer, and is pres
ident of the Boston chamber of com
merce. He was up to his neck in the
Ad '.icks-l>ay-State-Gis-Etc.. of which
Lawson has written so much.
The Muiual Life also has been a
heavy contributor to the republican
campaign funds during the three last
presidential campaigns. This was
brought out at the examination of its offi
cers the other day. This company has
also paid *2,600,000 in commissions to
the son and son-in-law of President
Richard A. McCurdy. It is up to Folk
to make the Mutual get out of Mis
souri. also.
Minister Fielding, who advocates ab
solute free trade between Canada and
the United States, is slated to be the
successor of Sir Witfrid Laurier as
leader of the liberal party in Canada.
He is the premier's right hand man.
His proposed commercial union of the
two countries is one of the very best
things that has been suggested.
It is announced from Washington
that Luke E. Wright, governo' of the
Philippines, will retire from office De
cember 1 on account of the dissatisfac
tion with his conduct of affairs ex
pressed by Secretary Ta/t, who recent
ly visited that country.
Admiral Dewev agrees with the Osier
theory of the useiessness of old men to
the extent that be would have the navy
placed in the hands of the young men
of the service. He regards the contin
uation of old men in charge a menace
to the navy.
A few of those fellows down in Seat
tle are not disposed to permit Swiftwa
ter Hill to get away with any of that
late Tanana-made fortune.

ALL GONE
No Dawson-Bouad Freight
At Whiteliorse
There is not one pound of Dawsen
bound freight at Whitehorse. Every
vestige of goods of kind or description
w hatsoever shipped via the W. P. &
Y. R this year for Dawson and down
river points will have reached its desti
nation with the arrival of that boat at
Dawson.
This is a record that never before
has been equalled In the north, though
for several years there has been little
freight left over at this end of the line
with the close of the period of naviga
tion.
Not only have the rail and water di
vision of the VV. P. & Y. R. handled
every pound of freight which they have
recived in such a way as to avoid all
blockades, but there has been no ac
cidents which would cause the loss of
any freirht or damage to it. While
an enormous quantity of freight has
boen carried and quickly handled the
damage claims will be smaller than
those for any of the years that have
elapsed since the beginning of the op
eration of the railroad.
General manager, A. B. Newell, who
left for the south Saturday night, is
gre?tly pleased with the result of the
season's efforts.

A SETTER PLAN
I Those papers who are snarling about
[ the holding of a proposed Alaska con
vention in Seattle would do well to
themselves to propose a common meet

been selected, not because it is Seattle,
but because of convenience. While it
is a matter for regret that such a meet
i ing could not be held at some point in

The Peril of a
Russian Workman
[Original.]
Having received an education In
practical chemistry anil served as su
perintendent In a steel works, I was
offered a large salary to take charge
of a factory in Itussia. Three years
were all I could endure In that mis
governed country, and after the czar's
troops slaughtered the workmen who
marched to the palace to present their
petition I made up iny mind to quit
the country.
Just as the train on which I left
pulled out of the station a man came
running from the outside, jumped on
the footboard and was helped by the
guard luto one of the compartments.
Opposite me sat a man, evidently In
a humble walk of life, who watched
eagerly the one who boarded the train,
leaned out of the window when he
was helped Into the compartment, thou
fell back on the cushion white as a
sheet.
"Dangerous attempt," I remarked.
"The fellow might have been killed."
My vls-a-vls made no reply for some
time. Then he salil eagerly:
"This train makes 110 stop for over
an hour, I believe?"
"You are right."
"Then it will be dark."
"Right again."
Another silence followed, during
which the man sat revolving some
question In his mind. Finally, looking
me straight In the eyes, he said:
"You do not recognize me, superin
tendent?"
"I do not."
"I am one of the workmen in the
factory."
"So?"
"Yes, I am Ivan Svlazhskl."
"One of the men who got up the re
cent petition to the czar?"
"Yes. They are after me. That man
who boarded the train is one of the
police. As soon as the train stops he
will arrest me. Then there remain for
me the horrors of Siberia."
lie had known that 1 sympathized
with the Russian workmen? Indeed,
that sympathy was one of the reasons
for my leaving Russia? and had eon
tided In me for this reason. I wished
I could help him. but saw no way. I
would have given him my passport,
but he told me he was known to the
police aud could not pass as another
man. Ills plan was to risk death by
jumping from the train as soon as It
was ilark. I did not think there was
one chance In a hundred for him In
this course and told him so, but failed
to move him.
As soon as it was dark lie dim boo
out of the window and. standing on
the footboard, bade me goodby and
walked away from the window. 1
looked after liim till he disappeared In
the darkness, then, drawing in my
head, sat and thought about him till
the train made the first stop.
There It was surrounded by the po
lice, who had doubtless been telegraph
ed, and every passenger was examined
critically. The man they looked for
was not to be found. The police, con
cluding that he had jumped from the
train, gave up the search, permitted us
to proceed, and I suppose went back
over the road to discover the result.
I knew that there was no time that
the train had not speeded so fast that
the man must have been killed, and on
the way kept thinking of his mangled
body lying by the track. I could not
sleep and was glad when morning
came and we reached the border.
At the station there I was going into
a dining room to got breakfast when
I was stopped by a railroad hand whom
I took for a locomotive fireman.
"Are you Jie American superintend
ent?" he asked.
"I suppose so," I replied, puzzled.
"Come with me."
In a twinkling it occurred to me that
he might have news of the man I was
interested in, and I followed him, he
keeping some distance ahead of me. He
took me a few hundred yards up the
road, where stood a locomotive. The en
gineer was cleaning his engine, and one
or two idlers were gaping at the ma
chine. The man I had followed glanced
at them meaningly, and I knew wo
must wait for them to go away. When
the last one had gone the fireman? for
such he was? got up into the tender
and whispered something to some one,
I could not tell whom, for there was
nothing there so far as I could see but
coal. Then he beckoned mo to climb
up and, removing a lump of coal, ex
posed a man's face, the face of Ivan
Sviazhskl.
It was plain to me that Sviazhskl
had walked along the footboard to the
tender, climbed over it and, finding
sympathetic laborers In the engineer
and fireman, they had concealed him
under the coal. He had sent for me
hoping that I would furnish hlra with
means to go to America and find em
ployment for him when he arrived
there. I placed some money In the
hands of the engineer for him and ap
pointed a place of meeting provided
he could get safely out of Russian
territory. I left him still in an uncom
fortable position under the coal? for
the time had not come when he could
be released without too great a risk.
I waited at the rendezvous, and as
he did not appear I feared that after
all he had been captured. I made up
my mind to write what I knew about
him to his family and proceed on my
way when I was told that there was
an old man at the door of the hotel
?who wished to see me. I went out.
thinking that he might be my man
disguised, but on seeing him could
see not the slightest resemblance. He
fooled me for several minutes before
telling me that he was Sviazhskl.
I brought him home with me, secured j
work for him, and In the next steamer'
he expects his family to join him.
