SENATOR HOAB'S SPEECH. One of the beat speeches that hss been made in the Senate on the silver question was that of Senator Hoar. It is a very strong presentation of the argnment that bimetslism was declared to be the policy of this country in 1890, and both political parties in 1892. He paid his respects to the demagogue in the following trenchant style:
In one respect the condition of the|LTulted States is peculiar. We settle our fluttnclal policy lu accordance with the popular vote. The trreai mercantile nations of the world. In fact ami c*.. nroonly In form, refer such things to experts. With us the finances of the country have boon for a good while the football of both p*rl lea and of factions. Every demagogue In public office or sseklng public office, every theorist desiring to get noteworthy by extravagance, every anonymous or reckless scribbler who escapes contempt only by concealing his personality, every agitator who would marshal class agaiust class, every anarchist who seeks overthrow all social order, every brawler who would stir the passion of section agaiust section, of labor against, cap'.tul. of debtor against creditor, of the poor against the rich, prates glibly about the currency, and uses sonic misrepresentation or sophistry ab^ut the currency is tils weapon of mischief. Yet uothlni? Is ni -rt1 tvrtHln than that a disturbance of the currency is an advantage only to the classes woo are so attacked, and brings nothing but evil uud disaster to theclassos to whom the appeal is made.
He said that while men might differ us to the cause of the financial deprersion he hoped that alt could agree on the remedy. The Republicans stand ready to hold up the hand? of the President and restore that prosperity which the country enjoyed down to the 4th of lust March. It any man desired to decrease the purchasing power of a dollar in order that his investment might lead to greater benefits he would be hurled from power and buried in infamy by the people. Mr. Hoar said he had always been a bimetalist, but it was the bimetalism of Washington and Jefferson which recognized gold as the finer metal necessarily the standard of value. He said thut he believed with Hamilton that binietnlism is the only policy which we cm pursue, and believing also with him thut when silver and gold separated the belter metal became the standard. The pressure of the Bilver interest for unlimited und independent free coinage of tlmt metal Mr. Hoar pronounces to be a departure from bimetalism in the direction of virtual monometallism,since under such circumstances silver would drive gold out of circulation. Everybody will agree with him that the most desirable thing is to restore the practical parity of the two metals as it existed under Republican Administration. MrHoar would begin by stopping the purchase of Bilver for coinage, and putting luto circulation the silver already coined, so fur as it is not in circulation now in the shape of silver certificates. He believes that this would be the best for the silver producing States themselves, and that it would promote an international agreement as to ratio.
CLEVELAND FORESEES A SPLIT. President Cleveland is said to be in a state of worriment over the situation in Congress. He apprehends a serious, if not a permanent split in his own party on the silver question, with a reuultirg Democratic war against every OlevelaLd measure. He has written to c'.ubj .friend in Nsw York that if the Sherman repeal act is coupled with any amendment providing for fwse silver coinage he will veto the bill and place the responsibility "exactly where it belongs— on the shoulders of his enemies within the Democratic party, who fruitlessly sought to defeat hiB nomination for
President and now seek to defeat his plan for legislation." He Las further indicated that he might couple with snch a veto the announcement that he Bhould immediately issue $50,000,000 to $100,000 of bonds to increase the gold reserve as a safeguard against the continued coinage of silver under theShermao ac Altogether the 'Democratic situation is an interesting )one. Those Congressmen, like Brookshire, who desire to control the patronage and the postoffioee and at the same time who want to vote for free coinage in order to maintain friendly relations with their constituents are between the devil and the deep blue
THE cry that the people have locked up their money because they are afraid that "the currency of the country will lose its gold value" is simply nonsense. If the currency was likely "to lose its gold value" every last man would be trying to get clear of it instead of hoarding it in old stockings, in strong boxes, Hnd in safety deposit vaults. Men know the currency is good No p«nple ev_- had a bettor currency

did, justified him, to a certain extent, in believing as he did. The idea delighted him not because he in any sense returned the feeling,but because it might be of assistance to him in his ambition to acquire great wealth' suddenly. Mark Stat.ley was now so occupied with his aboiniuable self-love that he had uo interest in any one, beyond their capacity for serving him.

On leaving the bank, with Miss Maydew and the money, he ordered the driver to drive the carriage which
they were in to his hotel. On the way he 1 a a a
suddenly calif her attention to some particular objeot in the street, and then, with the quickness of lightning, whipped out a knife with a razor-like edge and cut her throat, throwing her mantle OTer her at the same instant, to protect his person from her blood. So .thoroughly had he rehearsed his devilish plan in his mind, beforehand, that £he carried it out without the slightest deviation or excitement. The brutal deed was so dexterously done that athe poor girl died almost Instantly. He so disposed of Miss Maydew's body, on leaving tiia carriage, that had anyone peered iu tinu jj'h the window tliey would have thought her sleeping.
When the carriage halted before the hotel, Mark, on alighting, bade the driver wait a few minutes for him, and then entered .the hotel. There was neither haste nor appearance of haste in anything' which he did. Once In his room, he deliberately shaved off Ills heavy beard and niustttolies, and then proceeded to darken his hair and skin, or as much of the latter as was exposed. Even now would have been safe from recognition but he quickly completed hia di-jj-uisa by exchanging the rmenU he had on for the Spanish

self the day before, He then hung the clothing which he had just discarded with the re si of his wardrobe, packed the great b-.w^le of money, and a few papers whicH he wished to Jsave, into the v&lise, and than, walking unconcernodly, he left his room aild entered the hotel office. To all practical purposes. Mark Stanley was now dead he who had just left ilurlc Stanley's room, so strangely metamorphosed, was Don Hermando Altada, and as such he

Mark Stanley had been very poor Don Altana was very ri he was, also, very dark and very elegant, and not a soul would have suspected him of being anything else than he seemed. At the end of another hour, when he heard a mob of excited men rush into his former room, bent on the immediate destruction of Murk Stanley, the lips of the transformed man wreathed themselves into a triumphant smile. Later la the Hay he was one among the many who c*lied to express sympathy for Mr. Maydew. He even carried his coolnes* and bravado so far as to go to the Coroner's and inspect the lifeless remains of Miss Maydew. "Any one else who could have done this thing would have done it," he said to himself, as he leaped into bed, that night. "Life and d»nth are mere matters of chance both are beyond human control. The Indians and I were common benefactors, for all I know. They relieved me of a silly wife, I relieved Maydew of a silly daughter. So far as the g«ijerii score goes, he and I are quits: oniy I get more out of it than the Indians did."
An hour later he was sleeping as Calmly as a child and so he slept throughout the. night.
Dubb dropped into mining-wayo as eatlly and naturally as if be had been a miner all his life. He asked but few questions, and made but few mistakes. Mark Stanley's abandoned claim, which everybody had regarded, since Mark's departure, as the unluokle3t bit of dirt on Red Mountain, became, under the treatment which it received from Dubb, a valuable and tractable piece of mining-property. In less than a week after occupying it, Dubb struck rich "pay-dirt Mid before a month had elapsed he succeeded In following these "tailings" through a short wavering patch of direct drift to analmost perpendicular vein which seemed practically inexhanstible.
He took his good fortune quietly, just as ha took everything else, and did not seem in the least elated by it. Except in some matter of frolic or indignation, the California miners of those days were not a very demonstrative lot still, they could not comprehend the changeless and unbroken

THe presence of danger, the contemplation of death, —joy, sorrow, and all the rest of the varying' and inultiplicate phenomena of life,—utterly failed to break in in any way upon this man's unruffled serenity. He seemed, in every sense, impervious and unreachable. Nothing could move him or touoh him. There was no visible evidence that he saw any element of fun in the frequent pranks and jokes of the miners and the customary gravity, or earnestness, of his face was never in the slightest

came to this conclusion wholly and entirely because Mark Stanley had advised it, even after she, personally, had decided against so doing. When she told him that the money for the investment was to be drawn upon a certain day. he at once made up his mind that that day should be the last one of her life.
I him, and no one believed that it would be possible to make him angry. So far as any person could judge, there were two worlds for Dubb,—one internal and the other external and

then, was to change his personality in
ten minutes after leaving her dead body in the carriage. So he made all his arrangements beforehand, and made them so thoroughly, too, that none of them miscarried. He purchased a regulation Spanish suit, a large valise,—the latter of a second-band dealer, so that its newness might not betray him,—and some peculiar cosmetics and chemicals. These he concealed in his room in the hotel where he was living.

was taken as he was, and for what he was worth. "He never gits off sermons an' church-talk he never sees a feller in ahole'ithout helpin' on 'm out he takes in everything what's goin' on an' he alius comes down with his ante, whether he plays his han' er not," declared Droopy, with exceeding warmth, one day when Dubb, soon after his arrival, was under discussion. "He ain't quite the reg'lar artiole, mebbe and he may be better, an' he' may be wuss, nor the reg'lar article but he suits me a dum sight better nor some others what I knows on."
A month later, Droopy's estimate of
tain as the right one and before winter set in, no man in camp was more popular than Dubb.
His prosperity as a miner enabled him to redouble his efforts for the relief of Mrs. Stanley and nothing which could possibly be done for her discovery and rescue was left undone. Droopy and Tom Morris were alone in his confidence concerning his vigorous and uninterrupted efforts in behalf of Mrs. Stanley and they were of incalculable assistance to him in the important matters of making plans and negotiating with the guides who were prosecuting the search for the lost woman over near the head-waters of the Platte. It soon became apparent to Droopy that Dubb was being imposed upon by the frontiersmen, and that they were receiving his money without any attempt at making an honest return for it The right kind of investigation proved to be the case, and after that the conduct of the search was reorganized upon a basis which made shirking next to impossible.
All through that winter, Dubb watched and waited for news from the Stanleys. Since the murder of Miss

as thoroughly and effectually lost as his wife. The officers of the law were as Impotent in their endeavors at hunting down Mark as Dubb's envoys were in their efforts at unearthing Mark's wife. "Blamed ef I b'liaves as how ony on us'11 ever sot eyea on either one on 'em ag'in," remarked Droopy, one day toward spring. "The Injins has killed her, long ago. She couldn't never reconcile herself to none o' their notions an' when a woman keeps on a-kickin' ag'in' an Injin, 'tain't very long afore he raises her ha'r. An' as fur Mark—why, he jest skinned out o' Callforny long ago."
Dubb made no answer, but he seemed to be of about the same opinion. "Why don't ye gin it up, pard?" asked Droopy, suddenly and earnestly. "Yc've got the best claim on the hull mounting, an' ye can't 'ford ter be wastin' time an' money tryin' ter do somethin' what ain't ter be did. Ef they was any sight o' Cndin' this 'ere woman o' Mark Stanley's, I'd jest say keep it up, alius, till ye gits her. But they ain't no sich sight. Ef she ain't dead, she ain't no'eres near where them fellersis a-huntin' fur 'er. Why, Ixjrdy, man, jest Btop an' think fur a minute. The prancin' groun' o' them air Utes ain't so mighty big but what you an' Mark Stanley an' them air guides 'ould 'a' found' har in them air two year as you was all cadoodlin' aroun' that country. It's nigh on ter a nother years sence he corned *way, an' it's more'n six months sence you dropped in here on ole Red Mounting. Ef she was onywhar in that country, an' was alive, she'd 'a' been foun' long afore this. Ef she am still a-livin', she's got clean outen that country an' ef she am gone frum there, who in thunder knows where she is, an' what the darn's the use o* looltin' fur 'cr there, 'cause she sin't there an' ef ye don't look there, where will yer look? They can't, nothin' but diserp'intment come outen this thing, no way ye c'n fix It an' that ain't wuth the money what yer wastes on It. An' then there's yer claim a-needin' yer 'tention the wust way. Come, pard, gin up the search gin up the search." "It don't seem to me nowise as if the mine would spoil if it stood still," answered Dubb "and if nothing be done for her, she may die. The mine be not going to suffer if it am left alone, like she am." "But what good docs all this 'ere huntin' an' sltirmishin' among them 'ere Utes do her? None o' yer searchin' gang has had a glimpse at her, or at any one as has seen 'er, since the Injins toted her off. What c'n ye say ter that?" "They have not found her because they have not looked for her where she am." "But how c'n they tell where ter look?"
"That am what they be searching for." J'liook 'ere, Dubb, I tells yer she am
either dead er gone" outen £hal country." "If that am so, they be some one in that-country what knows that she am dead, or gone away." "An' you purpozes," interrogated Droopy, with rising impatience, "an' you purpozes a-keepin' them air fellers
"THEY HAVE FOUND HER A.XD ARB BKIXOIJtQ HEB BACK TO YOU." what ye have hired a-huntin' till they finds her, er finds some one what knows as how she am gone dead, er gone outen the country?" "Yes," was the quiet answer. "Well, I'll be damned!" exclaimed Droopy and Dubb looked as if he was perfectly willing that Droopy should dispose of himself according to his own tastes. "An' this mine o' yourn a-needin' yer hull 'tention so much," Droopy added, sorrowfully, after a brief silence. "I be working the mine. Droopy I be working it hard, and it am paying me well." "Yes, but it oughter have yer hull 'tention, an' not be goin' it snooks with this 'ere Stanley woman," maintained Droopy, but with the feeling that he must seem as unreasonable to Dubb as Dubb seemed to him.
The silence which followed was prolonged and to Droopy '.t was awkward and embarrassing He felt that he had been injured, though he was uncertain as to whether he ought to blame Dubb, or himself, for his uncomfortable condition. Droopy did not like to give advice without having it either followed or systematically parried. Somehow, he could not get used to Dubb's way of dealing with superfluous advice, Dubb had Buch a quiet but decisive way of arraying facts against whatever he found opposed to the plan or course he happened to be following. And facts, with Dubb, were hard, immovable things.
Droopy's embarrassment, or chagrin, or whatever it was, wa3 speedily relieved by the appearance of a man who bore a letter for Dubb from some one at the fort near which the parting between him and Mark Stanley had taken place the year before. This letter was very brief. Dubb read it aloud: "They have found her, and are bringing her to you. You may expect her almost as soon as you get this."
The "her" alluded to was, undoubtedly, Mark Stanley's .wife bat Dubb took the news as quietly as if he had reasons for believing that it referred to a cinnamon bear, and a dead one at that. Droopy regarded him first with disgust, then with admiration, then with awe. "I'll be darned!" he muttered.
Droopy hastened away to find Tom Morris, and when he was gone. Dubb asked the messenger from the far-away fort on the Platte how far behind him the others (sere. "'Bout two days," answered the man. "Am they coming by the same train what you came here by?" "In course: they ain't no other trail, this time o' the year, when the mountings am all slush-snow." "Can they come as fast, having her with them, as you come?" "Don't see what difference Bhe'll make she ain't nc very great shakes in p'int o' size." "That be so." assented Dubb "that be so she am rather small." "Well, I should say so," grrfwled the man scornfully "too—well, too powerfnl small ter make slch a heap o' fuss about" (To be Continued.)
