WHAT THEY HEPBESEST. It is not simply a question as to who shall hold the offices but a question of 7)W?iefjiJcs. The Republican candidates represent something- more than name. They represent the cause of good wages, employment and comfort for the workingman, multitudes of whom are now starving owing to the blighting shadow of the fraudulent Wilson bill. They represent American industrial independence, as against American dependence on the industries of Europe. They represent work and •wages and self-respect, as against charity loaves and soup. The Democratic candidates stand for everything that the Republican candidates oppose. A vote for them is indirectly a vote in favor of the incapacity of the present Congress. The result of the city election will have a far more reaching effect than simply as to the inen who shall fill the oflices and draw the salaries. Therefore, vote to keep the Democrats out of the city. Vote to turn them out of the county, the State the Nation. Turn them out every--where. The time and the place to begin is in the city on Tuesday. May 1.

THE suit brought by the Republicans to set aside the apportionment act of the last Legislature, better known as lv.uiuk.'iati« gvn jtunuiivt has lcon determined by Judge Brown, of the .Madison Circuit Court, who held the act to be constitutional. The result is Snot different from that expected by the plaintiffs so far as the lower court is concerned. Of course it will be carj.ried to the Supreme court as originally

fIntended.

No matter what the final

decision may be the gerrymander must go. The Republicans of the State have made up their minds to elect the next Legislature when an apportionment will be made that will be fair to all parties.

THE wage earner has the chief bene fit of protection: the wage earner will lose most by free trade. The American workingman is confronting a condition. Wages talk. The admission of European goods under a Wilson bill means the making of American goods for European wages. Are the work ingmen of Crawfordsville willing to encourage the party in Congress which favors this policy by voting even for Democratic city candidates for office

DON'T let it be said next Wednesday that Crawfordsville has endorsed Gro ver Cleveland's administration. If the Democrats so much as elect a Council man, G. W. L. Brown will fairly burn the wires off tejegrapiling to the In dianapolis Sentinel that "the FJoosier Athens has gloriously and unmistakably spoken in favor of the re-enthrone inent of Queen Lil."

TOWARD all the candidates tin the local Democratic ticket THE JOURNAL cherishes a hearty good will but doesn't believe in encouraging the principles of Democracy which they lack by allowing their names to be printed under a rooster. Vote your ticket straight, friend.

THAT conservative Democratic paper the Baltimore .Sun. says the tariff dc bate is turning the Senate into a pro (luce exchange. The Sun had better said a bucket shop where sugar and whisky are the articles dabbled in the Senatorial speculator.

THE St. Louis Objbe-Democmt says the great need of the Democrats this year is a map with some spot on it that they can carry. Republicans will see to it that Crawfordsville is not that spot marked on the proposed map.

THE New York 'J'iincx, a Democratic paper, says there is a "deal of unsophisticated Democracy in some parts of Indiana.'- The Times is right.

ONE week from to-day and there will be a bunch of crape on the door of the municipal Democracy as big as Jeff Mills' Prince Albert coat.

CHAPTKH XXII. TOM'S STATEMENT.

All that night Mary wrestled with the problem which Reuben Gorrlnge had set her. Strong as her faith in Tom's innocence was, what Gorrlnge had said had been sufficient to make her understand the extreme danger in which ho stood, and the dire need for his having a shrewd and clever man to defend him. She saw, too, what a vast difference it would make If the evidence which Reuben Gorringe alone possessed were kept secret.

Yet, what a price was that asked for silence. Could she pay it? If there were no alternative—if no other means remained for saving Tom's good name and honor—she would do it.

But there was no time in which that issue could be put to the test. It was the most hopeless feature of the whole plan that she had to say at once what course she would take. It was not to be a last and desperate course but she had to judge for herself what would be the probable results of a trial in which the evidence would be produced, and to decide before it could be tried.

Out of all the confusion of thought one determination came. She would see Tom, get the whole of the facts from him and then try to judge of the chances.

Early the next morning she went to the police station, and succeeded in making arrangements to see him before the case came on before the magistrates.

To her dismay, however, she was not permitted to see him alone. She spoke to the police sergeant who was to be present, asking him to leave them together. "We are lovers," she said, simply and she looked so piteous that the man —who himself was unmarried and in love—was touched. "I must carry out my instructions: but—" and here he looked cunningly at her—"I ain't got eyes in the back of my head, and whispering ain't forbidden.'

Thus Mary gained her way despite the law, and when the lovers met they had an eager, whispered conference. She told him what Reuben Gorringe had said about a lawyer. Then she questioned him. "You must tell me what passed on that Friday night, Tom." "I told you I would rather not, Mary," he answered. "But my dear, I must know. It must, all be made known. You will have to account for all your time on that Friday might.".

Tom hung his head, as if ashamed to speak. "You'll hate me, lass, when you know, and may be turn from me and then I won't have a friend left in the whole blessed world." "Tom, Tom, don't even hint such a thing. Who should be your friend if not I, your promised wife? Tell me all." "I was with Savannah all that even ing."

The words came out slowly and reluctantly, as if dragged against his will. "With Savannah!" cried Mary, astonishment. "IM Wet toll you tlio lot, my laaa, and then you'll see why I've been ashamed to mention it. After you and 1 parted, and I had promised to stop and face out the matter of the money, I meant to keep my word. I did, in deed—" Mary kissed him to let him feel that she believed and forgave him—"I waited a bit. and then started to go to the mill, as I told you I would, to have a talk over the matter with Mr. Coode. I was going there when I met Savannah. I don't know how it is, but she has always had a sort of influence over mo. I don't know what it is. When I'm away from her, I can't understand myself but when I'm with her, she can make me do pretty much what she pleases." "She shall never do that again, Tom," whispered the girl, pressing his arm. "She stopped me going and made me go witli her instead. We stayed near her cottage for a time, and presently we walked away—I don't know what time—and went along the Presburn road half-way to the town, I should think and then—well, I can't tell you all that passed. I don't rightly know myself, I fancy. But the old idea and longing to run away came over me. She said she knew about the robbery of the money and that I. was disgraced If I stayed in the place and—well, my lass, it'll hurt you to hear me say it, maybe but you wanted mp to tell the truth—she made me promise to go away with her for good, and I was that beside myself that I was hot and eager for her to do it." "What, thee?" asked the girl, who was trembling in dread of what liad yet to come. "I must have been mad, lass, I think. Anyway, I did just what she told me, and asked never a question. She told me to go back and get such things as I cared to have with me, and then to walk over to meet her at Presburn and to go on to Manchester by the early morning train." "Yes," said Mary, again in the same low, trembling voice. "We parted at a spot close about three-quarters of the way to Presburn —it must have been somewhere about ten o'clock. I was home this side of midnight—and I've never seen her since!" "What?" cried Mary, in a very different voice. "I've never seen her since," he repeated, "I hurried home, said i» few words to my father to prepare him for what he would hear of my running away from the chargo of theft, and with Savannah—for I knew It must all come out—and got away out of the house as quick as possible. I thought you might be coming, and I dursen't face you—mad though I was—and I rushed back as quick as my legs would take me to Presburn. But I could see nothing of Savannah. I lingered about the streets all through the night until the dawn, and with the earliest train was away to Manchester. But I saw nothing of her, and have seen nothing rilnco. That's the truth, lass, on my honor."

The telling had been painful enough for them both and at the close Mary remained buried for a minute in deep thought. Then she lifted her arms suddenly and threw them round the man, embracing him with such passion and fervor as he had rarely Vnnwn

SAILED THE SEAS 38 YEARS.

One of His Experiences. For thlrty-elcht years Cnpt. Loud followed the sea, most of that time as master of vessel, ana U]Kn retiring from the water was appointed by the Secretary of the United States Treasury to superintend the seal fisheries in Alaska, which position he held live years. He relates one cxnerleuco as follows! "For several years 1 had been troubled with general nervousness and pain In the replon of my heart. My greatest a miction was sleeplessness: it was almost Impossible at ny time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen Dr. Miles' remedies advertised I began using Nervine. After taking a small quantllytiio it"

beneflt received was so sreat that I was poslkill: won ous to me but on being assured by the drug-

lively alarmed, thinking the remedy contained opiates which would Dually be Injurl'H' rfrug-

Ing

gist that It was perfectly harmless, I contln-

ued It together with tho Heart Cure. Today can conscientiously say that Br. Miles' Restorative Nervine aud New Heart Cure did more for me than anything! bad ever taken. I had been treated by eminent physicians in New York and San Francisco without benefit. 1 owe my present good health to the Judicious use of theso most valuable remedies, and heartily recommend tlieni to nllalllicied as I was.-'—Capt.

She clung to him thus until she recovered her self-command. "Time's nearly up," said the police sergeant at this moment, and without turning his head to look round.

This served to quicken the girl's thoughts. "There are some questions I must ask," she said. "We must try to keep calm. IIow came you to place a small steel bar behind the books in your parlor? I found it on the Sunday after you had gone away." "A small steel bar," he said. "There's not such a thing in the house that I know of. Where do you mean?"

She told him all, except that she had found blood stains on it he repeated his denial of any knowledge of the thing, and was full of surprise at what Bhe said. "Did you ever get hold of the papers relating to that money affair?" she asked him. "One of them was around the bar." "1 never saw them except in Mr. Coode's hands on Friday afternoon. Certainly 1 never took them." "It Is strange, very strange,'" replied Mary. "Another thing I told you— that a witness swears you were olose to the mill on Friday night. You were seen breaking In somewhere about ten o'clock, and that a handkerchief of yours was found close by the very spot. Can you suggest anything to show where this mistake can be cleared up?" "Certainly, I can. Savannah herself will prove that I was not near the mill. I did not. leave her on the. Presburn road until past ten and then I'd six miles to walk back to Walkden Bridge. That Is clear enough." "And the neckerchief?" "I gave it to her," he said, "I gave it to her some days before—one night when we were walking together"—he made the confession nhamefacedly and reluctantly—"and she had not returned it." "You gave it to Savannah?" cried Mary, somewhat excitedly. "But if you gave it to Savannah now came it in the mill that night?" she asked. "It is reckoned as proof of your having been there at a wrong time on a wrong errand. What about Savannah?"

Tom looked at his companion, and his face was pale. "I have been asking myself that question ever since you told me yesterday at Manchester about the scarf having been found," he said. "I'm sorry to interrupt you two," said the police sergeant, turning and coming to them "but time's more than up."

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders or astringents, because they are irritating, do not thoroughly reach tlie'affected surfaces and should be abandoned as worse than failures. A multitude of persons who had for years borne all the Worry and pain that catarrh can inflict testify to radical and permanent cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm. Your druggist has it.
