"UNFROZEN WORDS" (From "Mandevllle Travels") 'Ve were searated by a storm in ,o latitude of seventy-three, insomuch lat only the ship which I was In, with Dutch and French vessel, got safe to a creek of Nova Zembla. We nded. In order to refit our vessels id store ourselves with provisions, lie crew of each Teasel made theni Ives a cabin of turf and wood, at ime distance from each other, to nee themselves against the inclem iclea of the weather, which was vera beyond Imagination. We soon iserved that in talking to one another e lost several of our words, and could hear one another at above two irds distance, and too when we sat iry near the fire. After much per exiiy, 1 found that our words froze . the air before they could reach the irs of the person to whom they were oken. 1 was soon confirmed in this injecture, when, upon the Increase of io cold, the whole company grew imb, or rather deaf; for every man as sensible, as we afterwards found, lat he spoke as well as ever: but the mnds no sooner took air than they ere consensed and lost. It was now miserable spectacle to see us nod ;ng and gaping at one another, every an talking, and no man heard. One lent observe a seaman that could hail ship at a league's distance, beckon K with his hand, straining his lungs, id tearing his throat: but all in vain. "We continued here three weeks in lis dismal plight At length, upon a irn of w ind, the air about us began to law. Our cabin was immediately Med with a dry. clattering sound, hich 1 afterwards found to be the -ackling consonants that broke above ir heads, and were often mixed with gentle hissing, which I imputed to be 16 letters, that occurs sj frequently i the Knglish tongue. 1 soon after 'It a breeie of whisper rushin-bv ly ear; for those, being of a soft and entie substance, immediately liquified i the warm w ind that Mew across our lln. These were soon followed by lilabtes of short words, and at length y entire senteno-s. that melted soon r or later, as they were more or less unsealed; so that we now heard' verything that had been spoken dur- ig the whole three weeks that we had een silent, if 1 may use that evpres ion. It was now very early in the, iorning. and yet. to my surprise, I ear somebody say, 'Sir John, it Is lidnight. and time for the ship's crew go to bed." This I knew to bo the Hot's voice: and. upon recollecting ivself, 1 concluded that he had spoken lese words to me some days before, tough I coula not hear thein until the resent thaw. My reader will easily naglne how the whole crew was inaied to hear every man talkinc. and e no man opening his mo.uh. In the Idst of this great surprise we were I in, we hoard a volley of oaths and irsea, lasting for a long while, and tered In a very hoarse voice, which knew belonged to the boatswa.a, who as a very choleric telK'w, and had ken his opportunity of cursing and rearing at. me when he thought 1 old not hear him: for 1 had several lies given him the strappado on that ount. as 1 did not fail to repeat it r these pious soliloquies, when i sot in on ship-board,". i '"Truth i-nih.-, t- t-cirtli h.-ill risi- ni'.-iin. The t-l riuil ve:irs of 'd ;ip' hers; Hut error woniulcil, writhes with pain, Ami ilics aimini; his worshippers."' IT "WAS ONLY a few months as:o that we ipioted this quatrain of William Cullcn Hryants. as an expression of our faifh that ulti mately the truth ri'iranlins; the Ku Klux Klan would out, that-the mists of liquid han''in.sr over the valley and its problem would clear, ami that in the end it would be known who was telling the truth and who was not. At that time the public statement signed by the two Kleasiles of the Ku Klux Klan had recently been printed, placing The Mail-Tribune in the Ananias class. The Klan, they stated, was no different than the Kniirhls of l'ythias. Odd Fellows and other secret societies, it stood for ltM per cent Americanism .mid strict obedience to the, law. it was in no way responsible for the so-called Hale outrage, nor the Hurr-Johnson affairs, and it would. this official statement came a tew days later. pay a reward of $100 to anyone who would frive evi dence lending to the conviction of those responsible 4'r the Jack sonville neck-tie party. , In the report of the special grand jury investigatini; the activities of the Kbui iu Southern Oregon. The Mail-Tribune finds its answer rod its vindication. "We don't believe any further comment is needed. Whatever may be the truilt of this individual or that, only a trial can determine, but the grand jury report REMOYF.S FOR ALL TIMK. ALL DOl'BT AS TO THK R K.SFONSI HI L1TY OF THIS 0R0ANI ZATHIN FOR TIIK LAWLESSNESS WHICH BROKE OL'T THIS SPRING IN JACK SON COUNTY. Before that organization entered tliis valley, there was no dis trict in the state more justly famed for its unity of spirit, its content ment and its enterprise. Since that organization's advent, there has been nothing but discord, grief, bitterness and dissension. The Klan has been a curse, not only to the community but to its own members, it lias done harm that can scarcely be calculated, it has done abso lutely no good. We have considerable sympathy for those citizens, and there have been several of them, who were hoodwinked into joining this organization under the impression that it would be a force for bet terment in this community, who accepted the statements that the Klan opposed lawlessness, in good faith, who in short believed the Klan organizers were telling the truth. The worst that can be said of them is that they were deluded, flim flammed, "used." But we have no sympathy whatever for those organizers, those political adventurers and exploiters of men's prejudices and credu lities, those bigher-up who were willing to profit by Medford's mis fortunes, if they could profit financially, themselves, who no matter how great her misfortunes had, themselves, nothing to lose. Our only regret- is that the Ku Klux Klnn as an organization could not have been indicted, and the individuals responsible for bringing the abomination into this state, can not be made to suffer for the wrongs, the suffering and sorrow which they and their dupes have inflicted. Quill Points Heresy: The act of being a minoritv. "From Aunt Dinah's petting party I was flivvering Nellie home." The easiest way to be reconciled to age is to observe a few young simpletons trying to aet smart. In congressional districts where the majority is a little radical, politics makes strange red fellows. In one particular we are not behind other nations in preparedness. We have a fine big pension office. A rich man could be happy if he could overcome the suspicion that his friends have designs on his purse. It frequently happens that the man who says he will think it over means that he will ask his wife about it. One way to keep from eating too hastily is to return to the table where you forgot to tip the waiter yesterday. If we can save daylight by monkeying with the clock, why not tiuker with the calendar and retain the bloom of vouthf "So many of our so-called improvements encourage wickedness." wails a reformer. That was also true of the one developed from a rib. ;Ripp.ingRhunKs oil nason . THE CROAKERS. I'M weary of people complaining. I'm tired of the briny they shed; they come to my door when" it's raining, and say that they wish they were dead. They come when the sun is dispens ing the warmth that is vital aj.d sweet, and say that the corn is commencing to shrivel and fire in the heat. They come when the winter is spreading its radiant mantle of snow, and ssy it's jusf what they've been dreading it rounds out their burden of woe. They came when the gentle caressing of spring should make everyone gay, but they have forgotten their blessings, it's always a grouch they display. They come when kind Providence chooses to sprinkle some frost in the glens, and talk of their aches and their bruises, their eons and their bunions and wens. So 'more like a hermit I'm getting. I'd fain be alone in my lair, for visitors always are fretting, and grumbling and wringing their hair. Sometimes there's a caller who chatters of hppines, sunshine and glee; his opulent language he splatters, as though front a hose over me. I weep on his neck and embrace him. and tell him his pre n.'e is sweet, and hope that g-:-d fortune may chase him ail over the world and repeat. Too many have heart-breaking stories, too many shed tears in a flovd ; this world in their eyes has no glories, thev can't see the roses for mud.
