KIVO f'VID AND JUSTICE
;RAIO
Evids^.ij .lustioe Craig of the Yukon
territorial court, has bad an expert
ence that Is akin la one resptct, at
least, to that of a famous king of Israel.
King David Is quoted as saying that
"all men are liars."' Xow comes Jus
tice Craig, who. using the language of
the 20th century lawyer rattier th?n
that of a B. C. king, says that 'per
jury is commou In the Yukon."
There Is this difference, however, in
the Incidents: The man who cbro
nloleo an.t edited the famous remark-,
of David Interjected the observation
that he spoke "In bis haste," but no
has said that the judicial poise of Jus
tice Craig has been disturbed in any
way. Israel was not without a defen
der, but the Yukon thus far meekly
admits its guilt.
The election of Gen Louis Both*, j
the most brilliant of the Transvaal |
commanders, to be premier of the
Transvaal colon; and his ecthusiastic
reoeption in Great Britain during the
recent conference of the colonial
premiers, is directing i great deal of
attention to Britain's way of handling
rebels. One of our greatest American
writers savs that if the policy of recon
struction in the Southern Confederacy
had beer, ss libera! as has been the re
construction policy in South Africa, the
United States would have been saved
30 years of unbr'.dled sectional strife
and hatred.
The Seattle fost-Intelligencer shown
liens of leaning very he ? y i ! y toward
the presidential candidacy of Vice
President Fairbanks, which is corrob
orative of he story to the effect that
former Senator John L. Wilson is one of
thoae who ire fighting for a Fairbanks
delegation to the na'ional Republican
oonvention f.om the Evergreen state.
It I* sa:d that John P. Hartman, the
well knowo --eat le curpor-.t on lawver.
will i ead ihe Fairbanks forces.
The ? lection of President Gallagher
of the San FrmtcisiO board of super
iors u> be mayor is gpeoiallj distasie
ful to the old gong and me pub ic
lervice corporations. President Gal
lagher wad in the b odling up to his
ears but. ne refused to st?nd pat. He

Investigations.
All the leading daily newspapers
contain editorials on Senator Morgan,
wbo died a few days ago, and ail agree
that be was one of the nation's truly
great men? great in ability, great in
knowledge and great in the strength,
pur.ty and aobi'ity of his character.
If those telegi aphers get united ss
so.idh as they hope to the capitalists
will be unable to send long dispatches
showing that the strike is over when it

Howard Gould says his wife's charges

Taking CeDsad
If there Is anything in that old maxim
which says (hat "competition is the life
of trade," Skngway should have a
live y census, because there is compe
tition in the enumeration of the people.
Chief of Police Hart, acting on an
appointment, from the city Icounell in
response to a petition from a majority
of the Skagwa> saloon men, Is enumer
th- people of the olty and securing
signers to all 9aloou petitions exe pt
the petition of Herman Grtmin. The
latter is havlug a census taken and a
petition signed ou his own account.
Mr. Grimm thinks the population Of
Skac*ay is in excess of 1 ,000 and he
fears that an effort will be made to
show that It is less than that number,
hence bis independent action.
The stloon men who are paying the
expensei of the census which is being
taken by the city and the city author
ities say that all they want is a fair
count, and Mr. Hart says that is what
they will get.

Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 \V.
Four h St., O ympia, Wash., says: "I
have no idea how much suffering I
would have avoided bad I known the
value of Down's Kidney Pills sooner.
For tbree years I h.ve suffered, docto
ed and treated tor a dropsical condition
of the body without ever knowfng the
true source of the trouble to be in the
kidneys, until, about two months ago,
when I was ioduoed to try Doan's Kid

and limbs: my hands would putT up,
get tense and I could hardly close them.
Tne other s>mp:oms w-re lost sight of

curing Doan's Kidney Pill*, I found
prompt relief from the s'art. The
swelling and bloating were reduced
until they entirely disappeared and ?
toning up and strengthening of my
a hole system was felt. The other day
I climbed up a steep bi 1 without a

[Original]
1 bad married a wife ami found Uiitt
I bad been mistaken In ber. Marriage
to me bad meant perfect accord. Porfeet
accord bad not been tbe result lu my
case, nud 1 resolved to cut tbe knot
that bound me to Delia by going away
from her. I bad no intent ion of leav
ing lier lo support herself. 1 would
give ber the lion's share of my lucome
and supply any need for which till*
share was inadequate. It was near
midnight a f lor a quarrel that I carno
to this decision.
Opening my iroui uoor, i went uui.
It was dark and uninviting. Here uud
there n street dickered, mid an
occasional vehicle rumbled ou the
pavement. I V\v were abroad, and to
avoid even these I tnrned down an
unfrequented street. My cheeks were
buruiug. and t lie night air could not
<>ool them. I took no thought as to
where I wovld go. I udeetl, 1 bad no
desire to go nuy where. I wished only
to walk and be alone.
1 heard footsteps beside me and turn
ed my head to discover who had th*s
taken It upon himself to intrude upon
mo. 1 saw no one.
???Mi, 1 see." I muttered. "It's tint
echo."
1 was walking by u hiuli brick wall
uud attributed what I had heard to the
sound of my own footsteps seul back
front It. Hut whou 1 passed lieyoud It
to an opening between Ibe bouses 1
still heard It. Again 1 turned to see
If any one was beside uie.
This time 1 was surprised? Indeed,
so much surprised that my attention
was drawn momentarily from my trou
ble. 1 saw a tlgure the counterpart of
myself, lie was myself lu every re
spect except that he wore a very dls
agreeable expression. 1 stopped and
stood still, lie did the same. 1 moved
on. lie moved on too. I concluded
to speak to bint.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Where are you going?" be replied.
"I? I don't care where 1 go."
"So long as you get your revenge, I j
suppose?"
"Revenge! Revenge ou whom?"
"Your wife."
I thought a moment. Could It bn j
possible that what I did was Influenced
by a desire to hurt Delia.
"My wife will not trouble herself i
about uiy leavlug her so long as site Is ,
provided for."
"Better than that, she won't sleep a
wink all night."
"Do you think so?"
"I know so. It will seiye her right.
She has treated you shamefully."
1 had considered that Delia had
treated me shamefully, but preferred
to be the only oue to accuse her. Now
that this disagreeable counterpart of
myself did so 1 revolted.
"Can you name any one thing," 1
asked, irritated, "In which she lias
treated ute shamefully?"
"Yes; she married yoti for one thing
and found you another. This caused
her to treat you badly In everything. '
"She disappointed In uie? Why, it's
I who am disappointed in her."
"And you have a right to be. \ou
were looking for u woman with a dis
[Msitlou that nothing can rtiQle. Yon
knew that you were quick epoken anil
? ?ft 'n unjust. You wanted some one
to I ir with you. You didn't get II."
"No. I didn't get It: you're right
there. But was I Justified in expect
ing all that?"
"You married for It. and since yon
have been disappointed you are right
lu resuming your former status."
"But I don't like the Idea of Delia
lying awake."
"You have to expect that."
"That doesn't help the matter."
"Better go back and comfort her."
"Who are you anyway? You have
been telling me that I should be sat
turu about and tell me to go and com
fort her."
"It wouldn't ilo nnv gooa lor me m
tell you who I am. You wouldn't rec
ognize me nny bettor for the telling.
But. If you wlsb to know, I'm your cou
science."
"Now I know you're lying. Con
science doesn't go about telling people
who have done wrong that they've
Uoue right. It lells them that they've
done wrong from llrst ti> hist."
My other self chuckled. "Con
science." he said. "Isn't always like
that. Conscience uses nil sorts of
moans to right people. Often he Is a
detective, hunting for a clew whereby
we nre to be convinced of our wrong
doing. In these cases he plays parts,
wears disguises. Just like a real de
tective. If he went at a wrongdoer
fair and square, he would accomplish
nothing."
"What would you advise me to do?"
"Stop making a fool of yourself."
"That means*'"
"Go heme. You'll find your wife In
tears. Tell her you're sorry and all
that."
"Will she tell me she's sorry?"
"You won't care whether she does
or not."
I turned and began to walk home
slowly. 1 forgot all about my other
self nnd neither heard nor saw any
thing more of him. As I proceeded I
went faster till I ran. When I got
to the house. I went up the stairs three
at a time. Delia was lying on a lounge,
her face burled in the cushions. I was
sure I had killed her.
"Sweetheart," I said, "forgive me."
I put my arms about her, and she
answered with a sob.
Tr::e enough, I didn't care whether
she took any of the blame to herself or
not. The clock struck 12. I had been
awaj Just ten minutes.
