Til is delay in the matter of UiriiV leg-, islution is due entirely to disagree-1 men Is among the Democrats, and not in the least to Republican obstruction of any sort..

Rev. Madisox

Peteks,

formerly a

resident of Clinton county, but now of New York 1.1 ty, has sensible ideas regarding the restriction of immigration. He says: "Loving all mankind as my brother. 1 would welcome all nations und creeds coming here, but on one condition only—ability and willingness to ready the English language before naturalization, and absolute assimilation with us as American citizens."

Jlvsitx W. Rkkd. at one time an idolized I'resbyterian minister at Indianapolis. has turned to be an anarchist pure and simple. .Judging from his blasphemous remarks made yesterday at Denver he is a close student of .lohann Most. They were similar in all respects to the last statement of Patrick Eugene I'reudergast. Reed should be caged either in the body of some jail or in an insane asylum.

chief cause which has operated

to reduce the wages of workinginen is tho new tariff law which will probably pass within a few weeks. The business of the country must be adjusted to the new condition, and in ever}' industry a reduction in wages may be looked for. This is the price the I'onntry will have to pay for the luxury of a Democratic victory in ISM. The outlook for better wages aud more work is not encouraging. The people voted to buy everything cheaper and labor must bear its share of the era of ''cheapness.''

The

question of indiscriminate im

migration has a very considerable bearing on the labor problem. There are too many unskilled laborers in this country at present, aud the working :'peoplc should not be subjected to undue competition by the unrestricted admission of ignorant, vicious and selfish foreigners. We have nothing to say against the intelligent, industrious and honest foreigners who com' to this country to make it their permanent abiding place, and who trv to perform the duty of good citizens, but it is time to put up the bars and stop the tide of vnassiinilable immigration.

Ir Mr. Pullman had made the statement he gave to the press yesterday six weeks ago it would have had a salutary influence upon public opinion, which came to believe that lie was paying starvation wages.—Juiliniiiipuiix Journal.

Mr. Pullman did make a statement at the inception of the strike some four weeks ago and which was printed in the Chicago Ucmhl. The same statement in substance was printed in the •. llnil-tvay Aye and copied by the Indianapolis ./o(ni// one day last week.

His first statement entered more into details of the industrial and financial condition of the village of Pullman and its shops than the statement he made last Saturday, but it failed to have that ''salutary inlhiciice" that the Jmirnttl refers to.

Til II KKSK-l'AKINC POLICY, Sknatou Croi.i.M. of Illinois, has done the Union veterans a service Inexposing the Democratic pension policy in a speech which lie delivered in the Senate last week. Me give* a list of pensioners whose pensions have been affected by the action of the present Administration. It covers thirty-j two pages of tabular matter in the Congressional Recml. It shows the! cheese-paring businessiu which the Administration is engaged. In Ohio foci instance in the six months ending September 1, 18'.t3, nearly 2,000 pensioners I were suspended, lietween September 1, 1N!)3. and October 'M, 18H3. 1,3:.':) names were restored to the rolls. These names were furnished by Jaines F. Seward, the Democratic Pension Agent at Columbus, to the Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee. It will be remembered that an election vras then pending in Ohio, and a whirlwind of indignation was spreading over the State. Something had to be done. Letters and telegrams flooded the Bureaux,the Departments and the Executive sanctum. "Restore those jjensions and do it quick," was the burden of their cry. These 3,323 Ohio soldiers were reinstated as quickly as the names could lie written. A Deputy Commissioner of Pensions was hurried into that State to explain matters to the soldiers. But all the frantic haste to recoup the loss of prestige among the Buckeyes was unavailing. Ohio rolled up a ina* jority for McKinley of S0.000. Talk about honesty! Were these names re-

stored by honest methods? Were they not just as dishonest as the methods resorted to whereby the thousands were suspended and the rates reduced on thousands of others in order to "nave" 825,000,000. It is a small piece of business, to go over the whole list, neighborhood by neighborhood, county bv county and State by State, all over the United States, examine every man and reduce his pension 50 cents, 7r. eer.ts, or «1, or 82, or S3 in order to make a record and is an outrage which thoolil soldier will be very apt to re-

CHAPTER XXV.

He did it quickly and deftly. It was long past dark when supper had been eaten. That the outlaws meditated some evil was clear to Taylor from their demeanor. He had been repeatedly snubbed and insulted during the day, but now that they had arranged their plan to kill him they greeted him with a hearty good wilL "They mean murder!" he said to himself as he looked from one to another, and it occurred to him that they must have planned to kill him while he slept. He, however, returned joke for joke and laugh for laugti, and to have seen the five sitting about the campfire one would have thought them the truest friends. "I don't calkerlate we shall even see an Injun on this trip," said the outlaw leader, us he finally knocked the ashes from his pipe, "but in coarse we can't be sure of it. We must tharfore post a 6entrv, as usual. Say, Taylor. 1 nope ye ar' feelin good natured?" "Oh, yes." "Didn't know but I riled ye back thar at the old camp. I wasn't feelin well when ye jumped on me about the gold.

We sheer and sheer alike, in course. You get a fifth." "But as you have the team, and as you are four to one in case we are attacked, I shall be satisfied with less than that," replied Taylor. "Well, you jest sot your own figgers and It will be all right," con tinned Bob. "Now, then, let's get to sleep."

Taylor went to the wagon after his blankets. He had planned just what to do, and he did it quickly and deftly. Had the men been watching him he would not have been detected. He removed the cork from the jug, emptied the poison from his bottle therein, gave the jug a few shakes, and returned to the fire humming a jolly air and evidently in good spirits. The outlaw selected to stand the first watch took his station under the cottonwoods a hundred feet away, the blazing brands were scattered and in fifteen minutes the four men wrapped in their blankets appeared to be buried in slumber. Three of them perhaps were, but Taylor was never so wide awake in his life. His life never before depended on it. He noticed that the three outlaws lay down close together, leaving him alone and several feet away, and he figured it out: 'They have arranged to kill me. and it will be when the sentry is changed. When he comes in to wake the other man up he is to do the deed. must be wide awake and prepared for him."

And now came night and solitude on the plain. Men who have not experienced it can have but a faint understanding of its weirdness—its awful solemnity—the fear that creeps into tho heart of the wakeful listener and unnerves him

Chee-weel Chee-wee! Chee-wee! It is only the voice of the tree toad,, but it makes every nerve tingle and the breath come shorter. The noteB broke in on a silence as profound as the grave they cease and the silence which returns is appalling.

Step! Step! Stept It is only the footfalls of a timid rabbit yards away, but they reach the strained ears with terrible distinctness and make the perspiration start from every pore.

Rustle! Rustlel Rustle' The listener almost cries out as" he starts up. It is a harmless snake making his way through the dry grass, but the sound might have signaled an Indian creeping into camp to do bloody work.

He-wich! He-wichl He-wich! It is only the note of a queer, wee bird which fiits at night over those vast solitudes, but it has made hundreds of brave men shiver with alarm.

An hour has gone by in the camp on the Big Cheyenne. The sentinel does not close his eyes, but feeling quite secure from danger he leans against a tree and gives himself up to his thoughts. Taylor has a thousand \yild thoughts— a score of plans—a longing to have time hurry up and bring the worst.

A wolf comes skulking over the earth to sniff and smell and growl and wonder, but the seutinei neither sees nor bears.

The wee night bird ceases its notes and alights on a branch over the sentinel's head aud looks down upon him with curious eyes.

A rattlesnake which has been in hiding under a brush heap on the bank of the stream now comes forth and races swiftly past the rear end of the wagon, to another hiding place.

The awful solitude affects the horses as much as the men. They have laid themselves down /to Bleep, but they are

uneasy ami waketui. Their ears work their owu noaas, out mere was yet nnback and forth. Their oyes are strained other to be puuished. Taylor loaned to pierce the gloom, and nothing keeps against i. tree for support and surveyed

them down but the fear of breaking »i on the solitude if they should get up. They softly scent tho air. One would say they had a feeling that some awful tragedy was at hand.

Two hours passed away. "Time must be most up," whispered the outlaw sentiuel as he finally straightened up and looked about liira. "The trial must be close at hand!" whispered Taylor as he noted the action of the seutinei.

Ten minutes later the outlaw walked softly back to the sleepers. When he reached the bodies of his friends he laid his rifle on the ground, drew his knifo and had made two steps toward Taylor when the latter suddenly sat up, yawned, looked about him in a sleepy way and then discovered the sentinel and said: "Oh, it's you, eh? I dreamed that one of the horses was walking over me. Everything quiet?" "Yes!" stammered the would be murderer, who expected to strike his victim as he slept. "Well, 1 think I'll turn out and have a smoke," said Taylor, and suiting tho action to the words he flung off his blanket, arose aud began to fill his pipe.

In retreating from him the outlaw kicked against Bob, who sprang up in alarm with a curse, and in a minute the two others were awake. The one who was to relieve the sentinel made ready to go out, but before he left, the outlaw leader said: "Some one deserves a clubbing for turning us out in the middle of the night One of you bring out that jug of whisky."

All knew that Taylor was to be killed as he slept. All saw that he was alive and unharmed, and that some blunder had occurred. But there was no opportunity for explanations. One of the men quickly brought the jug and a cup, and beginning with the leader each poured down a stiff drink.

Taylor had his pipe alight, and not one of the quartet addressed him nor offered him any of the liquor. "Now, keep yer eyes open," said Bob to the sentinel, "and we'll turn in agin and go to sleep."

CHAPTER XXVL

The ocean has its thrilling mysteries aud awful tragedies, and the plains and prairies have theirs as well.

Oxi« of the outlaws walked off in the darkness to stand sentry for the nest twe hours, and the other four men laid down to sleep again, each taking his place as before. In two minutes the camp was as silent as the grave, and the specter of murder which came out of the gloom and hovered over the recumbent forms was seen by no irortal eye.

At the end of five minutes a wolf's long drawn, faraway howl was heard, and a shiver passed over the listening sentinel as the lonesome sounds reached his ears. There was a warning in that howl—a menace, a wail—which whispered of tragedy.

Taylor heard it as well, and he grew pale and held his breath. He had braced himself to carry out a part, but he was fearful that his nerve might give way before the end was reached.

Ten minutes passed—tweive—fifteentwenty. It was time the powerful poison should begin to act.

Taylor was watching and listening One of the men moved and groaned. "Say! Are any of you awake?" called Taylor as he sat up. "I've got terrible pains, and 1 can't keep still any longer." "So have I." replied one of the men as he sat up.

Three minutes later tho others were aroused, groauing and cursing, and the sentinel came staggering in to gasp out: "Do something for me or I'm a dead man!"

From the way he acted one would have thought Taylor the worst off of all. He groaned, gasped, writhed, twisted, but he had company. The outlaws rolled about on the earth like wounded dogs,and, curiously enough, none of them suspected the cause of their illness. The jug was brought and each drank again, hoping the fiery whisky would ease the pains of what they believed to bo colic. It was only after one of the men had fallen in spasms, foaming at the mouth and tearing at the earth with his fingers, that Bob suddenly shouted: "By heavens, men! but 1 believe we have all been poisoned." "How—who by?" shrieked one of his companions. "By—by this infernal cur, if anybody and I'll1 have his life!"

Bob pointed at Taylor, who was apparently in convulsions, and then stooped for one of the rifles. As he did so he fell forward ujon the earth with a terrible curse, and Taylor sprang up and ran away into the darkness. He did not dare go far, and yet it was horrible for him to linger witflin hearing.

Strong men who die by poison die hard. It is an awful end. The crouching, hiding, trembling murderer heard them rise and stagger and fall they raved and wept they prayed and cursed in their awful agonies they attacked each other and struggled in death. The night bird was driven away by the cries and shrieks, and the wolf who sat listening and wondering was finally forced to flight by the wails and curses.

The Big Cheyenne, winding its way through prairie aud plain, has Been the sun rise on many scenes of horror, but on none worse than that portrayed i:i the camp of the ontlaws. Four men lay dead at id stiff beside tho littie heap of ashes ami blackened brands marking the site of the campfire. Somo lay on their backs, their open eyes gazing .into the blue vaults of heaven others were face down, their limbs drawn up and their fingers dug into tho soil.

Taylor Icaiml ayalrwt a tree for support. And as the first beam of the golden suti touched the dead, Taylor crept down to gaze upon his work. He came trembling and afraid. His face was ghastly pale, his teeth clicked together and his limbs could hardly support him as he walked. His own brother could not have identified him, so great was the facial change. He did not want to approach—he dreaded the sight which would meet his gaze, bnt some mysterious power forced him along. "Revenge is mine and I will repay, caith the Lord." te whieli the outlaws meted oat to the on

the bodies lying before him. He had planned this. Tliero was tho wagon— there was the gold—there the horses. He had but to drag the corpses to the bank of the stream aud roll them in, and then harness up and move off. The Big Cheyenne would not yield up the corpses for days, and if found who could tell how they died or discover their identity? The route was clear of Indians, and ho could tell a plausible story to account for his possession of so much treasure, lie had invented a story and gone over it in detail fifty times.

Gomel All are dead! Disposo of the corpses. The treasure is yours. But the inau cluug to the tree in a dazed sort of a way. A look of terror crept into his eyes, never to leave them again, and he moaned in distress as he looked over the camp. The horses whinnied for water and a change to new feeding ground, but he heeded them not.

The sun cliuibed higher and higher, but he did not move. A full hour hnd passed when he suddenly broke forth in a mocking laugh, aud this seemed to give him physical strength. Ho threw up his hands, shouted meaningless words, and turned and fled as if pursued by demons. Half a mile away he hid beneath the bushes, but not for long. Terror roused him up, and he faced the sun aud dashed away over the earth as men fly for their lives.

Night has como again on the greatexpanse. A dozen miles to tho east of the spot where the dead still lie in their ttlffneM the figure of a man rise# from the earth as the dews of heaven fall. It is hard to tell whether it is the face of a man or some wild beast. The eyes are sunken, the lips drawn, the cheeks like those of one who has hungered for a week. He peers this way and that—he skulks and crouches—he indulges in strange and mysterious gestures. "All dead! All dead! The gold is mine—ha! ha! ha!" "Revenge is mine and 1 will repay, saith the Lord."

It is Taylor, and he is a raving lunatic—a madman whose very soul is being shriveled by the awful fire within. Let us leave him to God, himself and the darkness. When the sun comes up again its rays will not soften the pallor of another dead face. There are gaunt, fierce wolves here—great wild eyed beasts who are following at his heels and urging each other to make the first attack,.

ENGLISH BIRDS OF SONG V.

The I.Kt InclurifN Some Twenty-live, With the Nightingale 1'irst. In round numbers the chief Kong birds of England amount to about 23, among which tho nightingale reigns chief aud supreme. It is almost impossible to frame any accurate table of the comparative beauty and merit of these varied and happy songsters, but the attempt has been nuide by an earnest student of nature, who devoted many years to this one express subject, and some of his notes are of curious interest.

At the head of the whole list stands the sweet bird of night for mellowness of tone, compass and execution and an inborn plaintivciiess of melody which is almost wholly his own. Pre-eminent, too, among the beauties of its strain is its infinite variety, as many as 16 different beginnings and closes having been noted in the song of a single bird. Beginning, like many a famous master of eloquence, in a sound of infinito and tender softness, he gradually breaks into deeper and fuller expression, reserving all his strength as if for some sudden touches of passion and delight, and then dying away into a fine and delicate thread of such exquisite aud keen sweetness as to pierce the very heart. In the calm stillness of a summer evening this dainty note may bo heard through half a mile of silent, listening woodland. Next to the nightingale come the three happy singers—the skylark, woodlark and titlark—each having a special excellence of his own, tho two latter singing both whilu on the wing and when at rest, their song, being full of sweetness, variety and swift, changes, and tho first surpassing even the nightingale in the rapid snatches of sprightly joy with which ho rises up toward the bine ether—

And, ever rising, wins his liquid way. Then follow tho whole throng of finches, headed by tho linnet, who stands fifHi on the entire list and carries off (in these days of competitive examination) 74 marks out of a possible 100 for compass, execution, sprightliness, plaintivonoss and mellow tone. Far lower down on the list come I he better known and more popular methodists, the blackbird, tho thrush and the white throat, tho reed warblers and tho robiu—who, by the way, during the silent antumnal days Reserves a whole column to himself. To these, however, must be added the blackcap, who, for beauty, power and flntelike brilliancy of song, excels all other of these happy minstrel but the nightingale himself.—Quiver.

My greatest ttfflioilon was sleeplessness it was almost impossible at any time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen Nr. Miles* remedies advertised I began using Nervine. After taking asmall quantity the benefit received was so great that I was oitlvely alarmed, thinking the remedy contained opiates which would finally be injurious to me but on being assured by the druggist that it was perfectly harmless, I continued it together with tho Heart Cure. Tod ty can conscientiously say that Dr. Miles' Uestorative Norvlno and New Heart Cure did more for me than anything 1 had ever taken. I had been treated by eminent physicians In New York and San Francisco without benefit-. 1 owe iny present good health to tHe judicious use of theso most valuable remedies, and heartily recommend them to nil ullilctccl as I was."—Capt.
