•0 FRIDAY, AUGUST 3. 1894.

TUK Democracy are playing a regular political shell game on the tariff hill.

QUESTIONS like the tariff are too big for the Democrats and they ought to let them alone.

FARMERS who are marketing their wheat are busy thinking over the Democratic promises made in 1892.

WHEN Grover signs the tariff bill it will be the bill which he has branded as the bill of "perfidy and dishonor."

SENATOR BRICK'S prediction that the tariff bill would be passed by May 15 must have had reference to next year instead of this year.

THE public debt was increased during the month of July 81,552,604. And it will continue to increase so long as the Democrats are in power.

(.'•ROVER'S "wild team" is proving to be more intractable than General Harrison even anticipated when lie made the remark a year and a half ago.

THE tariff bill still hangs fire in the conference committee. The committee is in a deadlock. Sugar, coal and iron ore are the rocks upon which the conferees have split.

THE sugar investigating committee has made its report, but it required the year's output of Indiana lime to furnish the whitewash. The scent of sugar hangs around it still.

THE State Natural Gas Inspector has made his regular annual prediction that natural gas hasbegun to fail. The average layman knows about as much concerning the future of the gas as the ""average expert.

TIIK resolution to investigate the Dominion Coal Company, of which Whitney, Lamont & Co. are the leading spirits, has been relegated to inoccuous dessuetude. Grover is chary of investigating this trust.

A STATEMENT issued to-day by the Comptroller of the Currency shows the total amount of national bank notes outstanding to be $207,445,488. an increase in total circulation for the month of $186,182, and for the year of $23,789,569.

JAMES E. WATSON, the Young Man Eloquent, has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans of the Fourth District. Although the District has 3,000 Democratic majority the Republicans are confident that the young man will give old Mr. Holman such a close shave that it will not be funny.

CHICAGO Inter-Ocean: Heretofore Democrats have always found some chance to blame their mishaps upon Republicans. But their miserable failures now are too plainly their own to attempt this. They have to bear "the perfidy and dishonor" as best they can. It is all theirs, and the ruin, wreck and idleness are a direct result of their political tinkering and mismanagement.

THE chief topic of editorial discus sion in the Review of Review# for August is the recent railroad strike. The motives of the dispute are cwididly considered, and the conclusion it, reached that the leaders of the American Railway Union have done great harm to the cause of organized labor, besides inflicting untold injury on an innocent public. At the same time the opinion is advance that arbitration would have been greatly to the advantage, as well as credit, of the Pullman Company.

THE voice of Daniel Webster, Senator from Massachusetts, comes across fiftyseven years on a point now under discussion, and his words are as clear and apposite as on the day they were utr tered. He said in a speech delivered in the Senate in February, 1S37:

That taking off the duty will reduce the price of coal Is perfect nonsense. The effect will be just the reverse. It is the continual bringing forward of propositions to alter the most settled features of our policy which is, in practice, so injurious to American industries and enterprise. In illustration of this remark, I will observe that it is not lon^ since* very curious debate took place in London at a meeting of the creditors of the late Duke of York Among other items of his property was a great coal mine in Nova Scotia. Certain trustees of the estate had been directed to work it. The question with^he creditors was whether the working of the mine should still be prosecuted, or what should be done with it. On inquiry of the trustees those gentlemen stated that the mine was not now very prodnctive, but that the policy of the American Government in relation ot duties was vacillating and uncertain that very soon the protective duty of foreign coal would be taken off, and then they would have the entire American market.

The' ownera of these Nova Scotia mines are just aa eager to gain an entrance to our market* as they were in 1837, and as soon. «s their trade is established they win Join an American trust ot tiWir

Webster said, will be to make coal higher than «*er before.

[CONTINUED.]

There they stood—he restrained by his arrest, unable to come forth Bhe, restrained more by his barring form than by any consideration of maidenly reserve, for, had he bidden, she would have gone within. She had fully made up her mind that wherever he wag, even were it behind the sentinels and bars of the guardhoose, she would demand that she be taken to his side. He had handed out a chair, bot she would not lit. They saw her looking np into his face as he talked and noted the eager gesticulation, so characteristic of his Creole blood, that seemed to aooompany his rapid words. They saw her bending toward him, looking eagerly up in his eyes and occasionally casting Indignant glances over toward the group at the office, as though she would annihilate with her wrath the persecutors of her hero. Then they saw her stretch forth both her hands, with a quiok Impulsive movement, and grasp hiB one instant, looking so faithfully, steadfastly, loyally, into his clouded and anxtons face. Then she turned, and with quiok, eager steps came tripping toward them. They stood irresolute. Every man felt that it was somebody's duty to step forward, meet her and be her escort through the party, but no one advanced. There was, if anything, a tendency to sidle toward the office door, as though to leave the sidewalk unimpeded. But she never sought to pass them by. With flashing eyes and crimson cheeks, she bore straight upon them, and with Indignant emphasis upon every word acoosted them: "Captain Wilton, Major Bloat, I wish to see Captain Chester at once. Is he in the office)"' "Certainly, Miss Beaubien. Shall I call him, or will you walk in?" And both men wero at her side In a moment. "Thanks. I will go right in—if you will kindly show to him.''

Another moment, and Armitage and Chester, deep iu the midst of their duties and surrounded by clerks and orderlies and assailed by half a dozen questions in one and the same instant, looked up astonished as Wilton stepped in and announced Miss Beaubien, desiring to Bee Captain Chester on immediate business. There was no time for conference. There she stood in the doorway, and all tongues were hushed on the instant. Chester rose and stepped forward, with anxious courtesy. She did not choose to see the extended hand, "It is you. alone, I wish to seo, captain. Is it impossible here?" "I fear it is, Miss Beaubien, but we can walk out in the open air. I feel that I know what it is you wish to say

to me,'' he added- in a low tone, took his cap from the peg on which it hung and led the way. Again she passed through the curious but respectful group, and Jerrold, watching furtively from his window, saw them come forth.

The captain turned to her as soon as they were out of earshot: "I have no daughter of my own, my dear young lady, but if I had I could not more thoroughly feel for you than I do. How can I help you?''

The reply was unexpectedly spirited. He had thought to encourage and sustain her, be sympathetic and paternal but, as he afterward ruefully admitted, he 'never did seem to get the hang of a woman's temperament" Apparently sympathy was not the thing she needed. "It is late in the day to ask such a question, Captain Chester. You have done great wrong and injustice. The question is now, Will you undo it?"

He was too surprise*' to speak for a moment. When his tongue was unloosed, he said: "I shall be glad to be convinced I wtiB wrong." "I know little of army justice or army laws, Captain Chester, but when a girl is compelled to take this step to rescue a friend there is something brutal about them, or the men who enforce them. Mr. Jerrold tells me that he is arrested. I knew that last night, but not until this morning did he consent to let me know that he would be court martialed unless he could prove where he was the night yon were officer of the day two weeks ago and last Saturday night He is too noble and good to defend himself when by doing so he might harm ma But I am here to free him from the cruel suspicion you have formed." She had quickened her step, and in her impulsiveness and agitation they were almost at the end of the walk. He hesitated, as though reluctant to go along under the piazza, but she was imperious, and ho yielded. "No, cornel" she said. "I mean that you shall hear the whole truth, and that at once. I do not expect you to understand or oondone my conduct, but you must acquit him.

We are engaged, and—I love him. He has enemies here, as I see all too plainly, and they have prejudiced mother against him, and she has forbidden my seeing him. I came out to the fort without her knowledge one day, and it angered her. From that time she would not let me see him aloue. She watched every

myjxyieut ggd tf&'ne with

wherever 1 drova Sho gave orders that I should never httvo any horses to drive or ride alone—I, whom father had indulged to the utmost and who had ridden and driven at will from my babyhood. Sho came out to the fort with me that eveniug for parade and never even agreed to let me go out to see some neighbors until sho learned he was to escort Miss Reuwick. Sho had ordered me to be ready to go with her to Chequaniagon the next day, and I would not go until I had seen him. There had been a misunderstanding. I got the Suttons to drive mo out while mother supposed me at the Laurents', and Mr. Jerrold promised to meet me oast of the bridge and drive in town with us, and I was to send him back in Graves' hnggy. "Ho had been refused permission to leave the past, he said, and could not cross the bridge, where the sentries would be sure to recognize him, but as it was our hist chance of meeting he risked the discovery of his absence, never dreaming of such a thing as his private rooms being inspected. He had a little skiff down in the willows that he had used before, and by leaving the party at midnight he oould get home, change his dress, run down the bank and row down stream to the point, there leave his skiff and climb up to the road. He met us there at 1 o'clock, and the Buttons would never betray either of us, though they did not know we were engaged. We sat in their parlor a quarter of an hour after we got to town, and then 'twas time to go, and there was only a little 10 minutes' walk down to the stabla I had seen him such a very short time, and I had so much to tell him." Chester could have burst into rapturous applause had she been an actress. Her cheeks were aflame, her eyes full of fire and spirit, her bosom heaving, her little foot tapping the ground, as she stood there leaning on the colonel's fence and looking straight up in the perturbed veteran's face. She was magnificent, he said to himself, and in her bravery, self saorifice and indignation she was. "It was then after 3, and I could just ns well go with him —somebody had to bring the buggy back —and Graves hu.iself hitched in his roan mare for me, and I drove out, picked np Mr. Jerrold at the corner, and we came out here again through the darkness together. Even when we got to the point I did not let him go at once. It was over an hour's drive. It was fully half past 8 before we parted, He sprang down the path to reach the riverside, and before he was fairly in his boat and pulling up against the stream I heard, far over here somewhere, those two faint shots. That was the shooting he spoke of iu his letter to me, not to her, and what business Colonel Maynard had to read and exhibit to his officers a letter never intended for him I oanuot understand. Mr. Jerrold says it was not what he wanted it to bo

at all, as he wrote hastily, so he wrote another and sent that to me by Merrick that morning after his absence was discovered. It probably blew out of the window, as these other things did this moruing. See for yourself, captain.'' And she pointed to the nvo or three bills and scraps that had evidently only reoently fluttered in among the now neglected roses. "Then when he was aroused at reveille and you threatened him with punishment and held over his head the startling aocusation that you knew of our meeting and our secret he was naturally infinitely distressed and could only write to warn me, and he managed to get in and say goodby to me at the station. As for me, I was back home by 5 o'clock, let myself noiselessly np to my room, and no one knew it but the Suttons and old Graves, neither of whom would betray me. I had no fear of tho long dark road. I had ridden and driven as a child all over these bluffs and prairies before there was any town worth mentioning and in days when my father and I found only friends—not enemies—hero at Sibley.'' "Miss Beaubien, let me protest against your accusation. It is not for me to reprove your grave imprudence or recklessness, nor have I the right to disapprove your choice of Mr. Jerrold. Let me say at once tlmt you have none but friends here, and if it ever should

be known to what lengths you went to

K«v«

save him it will only make him more envied and you more genuinely admired. I question your wisdom but, upon my soul, I admire your bravery and spirit You have cleared him of a terrible charge.''

A most disdainful and impatient shrug of her shapely shoulders was Miss Beaubien's only answer to that allusion. The possibility of Mr. Jerrold'a being suspected of another entanglement was something she would not tolerate. "I know nothing of other people's affairs. I simply speak of my own. Let

Tho captain smiled. "You certainly deserve to be the bearorof good tidings. I wish he may appreciate it"

Another moment, and sho had left him and Bped back to Jerrold's doorway. He was there to meet her, and Chester looked with grim and uncertain emotion at the radiance in her faoe. He had to get back to tho office and to pass them so, as civilly as he could, considering the weight of wrath and contempt he felt for the man, ho stopped and spoke: "Your fair advocate has been all powerful, Air. Jerrold. I congratulate you, aud your arrest is at an end. Captain Armitage will require no duty of yon until we are ,tl~*jard, but we'vo only half an hour. The train is coming sharp at noon." "Train! What train? Where are you going?" she asked, a wild anxiety in her eyes, a sudden pallor on her facc. 'We arc ordered post haste to Colorado, Nina, to rescue what is left of Thornton's men. But for you I should have been left behind." "But for me! left behind I" she cried. "Oh Howard, Howard 1 have I only— only won you to send yon into danger? Oh, my darling! Oh, God, don't—don't

gh,

o! They will kill you! Itwill kill me! what have I done? what hove I done?" "Nina, hnsh! My honor is with the regiment I must go, child. We'll be back in a few weeks. Indeed I fear ix ail oe over Derore we get there. £[in^dpn/tlook»ol Don'tactgo1 Think

Where you are V' But she had Iminu too much, aud the blow came all too soon—too heavy. She was well uiph senseless when the Beaubien carriage came whirling into the fort and old Maman rushed forth in voluble and rabid charge upon hc-r daughter. All too late I It was useless now. Her darling's heart was weaned away and her love lavishod on that tall, objeotionable young soldier so soon to go forth to battle. Reproaches, tears, wrath, were all in order, but were abandoned at sight of poor Nina's agony of grief. Noon carno, and the train, and with buoyant tread the gallant oomniand marched down the winding road and filed aboard the cars, and Howard Jerrold, shame stricken, humbled at the contemplation of- his own nnworthiness, slowly unclasped her arms from about his nock, laid one long kiss upon her white and quivering lips, took one brief look in the groat dark, haunting, despairing eyes and carried her wail of anguish ringing in his ears as he sprang aboard and was whirled away.

what luivc I ilnnet done?"

But there were women who deemed themselves worse off than Nina Beaubien—the wives and daughters and sweethearts whom she met that morn in town, for when they got back to Sibley the regiment was iniles^way. For them there was not even a kiss from the lips of those they loved. Time and train waited for 110 woman. There were comrados battling for lit'o in the Colorado Rockies,, and aid could not come too

CHAPTER XVII

Under the cloudless heavens, under the starlit skies, blessing the grateful dew that cools the upland air and moistens the bunch grass that has been bleaching all day in the fierce rays of the summer sun, a little coiuinu of infantry is swinging steadily southward. Long and toilsome has been the march hot, dusty and parching the day. Halts have been few ?.nd far between, and every man, from the colonel down, is coated with a gray mask of powdered alkali, the contribution of a two hours' tramp through Dead Man's oanyon just before the sun went down. Now, however, they are climbing the range. The morrow will bring them to the broad and beautiful valley of the Spirit Wolf, and there they must have news. Offloers and men are footsore and weary, but no one begs for rest Colonel Maynard, riding ahead on a sorry hack he picked up at the station two dayB' long march behind them, is eager to reaoh the springs at Forest Glade before ordering bivouac for the night. A week agone no one who saw him at Sablon would have thought tho oolonel fit for a march like this, but he seems rejuvenate. His head is high, his eye as bright, his bearing as full of spirit as man's could possibly be at 00, and the whole regiment cheered him when ho caught the column at Omaha A talk with Chester and Ar-

tonight he is full of an en-

ergy that inspires tho entire command. Though they were farther away than many other troops ordered to the scene,

the fact that their station was on the railway, and that they oould be sent by special trains to Omaha and thence to the west, enabled them to begin their rescuo march ahead of all the other foot troops and behind only the powerful command of cavalry that was whirled to tho scene the moment tho authorities woko up to the fact that it should have been sent in the first place. Old May-

us end this as quickly as possible, cap- 2T1 „1 Thornton's corral ahead of them, but tain. Now about Saturday night Mother had consented to our coming back for the german—she enjoys seeing me lead, it seems—and she decided to pay a short visit to relations at St Croix, staying there Saturday night and over Sunday. This would give us a chance to meet again, as he could spend the evening in St Croix aud return by late train, and I wrote and asked him. He came. We had a long talk in the summer houso in the garden, for mother never dreamed of his being there, and unluckily he just missed the night train and did not, got back until inspection. It was impossible for him to have been at Sablon, and he can furnish other proof, but would do nothing until he had seen mo "Miss Beaubien, you havo cleared him. I only wish that you could clear —every on a'' "I am in nowise concerned in that other matter to which you havo alluded neither is Mr. Jerrold. May I say to him at once that this ends his persecution?"

the cavalry has 80 hours' start and four legs to two. Every moment he looks ahead expectant of tidings from the front that shall tell him the th were there and the remnant rescued. Even then, ho knows, he and his long springfields will be needed. The cavalry can fight their way in to the succor of the besieged, but once there will be themselves surrounded and too few in numbers to begin aggressive movements. He and his will indeed lie welcome re-enforcements, and so they trudge ahead.

The moon is up, and it is nearly 10 o'clock whon, high up on the rolling divide, tho springs are reaohed, and, barely waiting to quench thoir thirst in tho cooling waters, the wearied men roll themselves iu their blankets under the giant trees, and guarded by a few outlying pickets are soon asleep. Most of tho officers havo sprawled around a little fire and aro burning their boot leather thereat. The colonel, his adjutant and the doctor aro curled up under a tent fly that serves by day as a wrap for tho rations and cooking kit they carry on pack mule. Two company commanders—tho Alpha and Omega of the 10, as Major Sloat dubbed them— the senior and junior in rank, Chester and Armitage by name, havo rolled themselves in thoir blankots under another tent fly and are chatting in low tones before dropping off to sleep. They havo been inseparable on tho journey thus far, and the co! A -l has had two or three long talks w*i them, but who knows what the morrow may bring for^h? There i3 still much to settle. One officer, he of tho guard, is still afoot and trudging about among the trees, looking after his sentries. Another officer, also alor.o, is sitting in sllenoe smoking a pipo. It is Mr. Jerrold.

Cloared though he is of the charges originally brought against him in the minds of his colonel and Captain Chester, ho has lost caste with his fellows and with them. Only two or three men have been made aware of the statement which "acquitted him, but every one knows instinctively that ho was saved by Nina Beaubien, and that in aocopting his release at her hands ho had put her to a cruel expense. Every man among his brother oiflcors knows in Boxno way that he has been acquitted of having compromised Alioe Renwick's fair fame only by an alibi that correspondingly harmed another. The fact now generally knjrtvn—that they were betrothed and that the engagement was openly andooncod—made no difference.

Without oeing aoie to analyze nis conduot, the regiment was satisfied that it had been selfish and contemptible, and that was enough to warrant giving him tho cold shoulder. He was quick to see and take the hint and in bitter distress of mind to withdraw himself from their companionship. He had hoped and expected that his eagerness to go with them on the wild and sudden campaign would reinstate him in their good graces, but it failed utterly. "Any man would seek that,'' was the verdict of the informal council held by the officers. "Ho would have been a poltroon if ho hadn't sought to go, but while he isn't a poltroon he has done a contemptible thing." Aud so it stood. Rollins had cut him dead, refused his hand and denied hint a chancc to ciqjlain. "Tell him he can't explain," was the savage reply he sent by the a ljutunt, who consented to carry JVr.-olii'.s message in order that he might have fair play. "He knows, without explanation, the wrong he has done to more than ona I won't have anything to do with him."

Others avoided him and only coldly ipoke to him when speech was neces-

penod and tho painful scene at their parting. And yet would it not be a blessing to her if ho were killed? Even now in his self abnegation and misery ha did not fully realize how mean he was—how mean ho seemed to others. He resented in his heart what Sloat had said of him but the day before, little caring whether he heard it or not "It would be a mercy to that poor girl if Jerrold were killed He will break her heart with neglect or drive her mad With jealousy inside of a year." But the regiment seemed to agree with Sloat

A few more weeks and the Spring and Summer business ot '04 will be history—its most important event—our Great Clearing Sale. We won't speak of the weather, but of the highest grade Dry Goods, in many instances less than cost.

Successful Storekeeping

Does not mean gigantic profit—it means doing business—continually—constantly—selling

seasonable goods—even at a loss—before holding them over for many months. We

are successful storekeepers and will sell thousands of dollars worth of sea

sonable stuff at even less than cost, while you most want them.

This is the argument for the great

Only two ways to run a business—a right and a wrong way—years of success, of progress, convinces us that this is the right way. Every department manager has his orders, every salesman and saleslady will be alert, every price is a trade winner.

"Make flay While the San Shines." Is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to the dry goods business. But "hay making" time is passed— now is Clearing Ont time—and for the balance of the season 15 per cent, 80 per cent, 25 per cent and even 50 per cent will drop from the prices of every article in all our departments. Our patrons will buy cheaply. Our stock will be reduced. The object desired— turning merchandise into cash—will be accomplished.
