••How can we face the people after indulging in such outrageous violations of principle?" Cleveland asked the Democrats in his letter denouncing1 the tariff bill which they afterwards passed. Do as the Indiana Democrats at Indianapolis did. endorse Cleveland for denouncing the bill and commend Congress for passing it. It requires astuteness to praise and condemn a thing in the same breath but it can be done.

THK efforts of the Republicans and lioi man combine to defeat the passage of any kind of a tariff bill was a wretehed failure.—-1 njus-Xarx.

Of course the efforts of the Republicans to defeat any kind of a tariff bill was a wretched failure, simply for the reason that they were in the minority in both Houses. The Gorman combine with the aid of the cuckoos passed the bill, a bill which Senator Mills declared on the floor of the Senate, "does not reflect the sentiments of 1.000 people of the I'nited States. No Republicans wanted it, no l'opulists wanted it. and few Democrats wanted it. The great mass of the people condemn it." The "Gorman combine" got what it wanted.

DKMOCKATIC Congressmen are discussing how they will square themselves with their constituents on t'..e tariff bill. "We can claim," said one. "that this is abetter bill than the McKinlev law. and that it makes an average reduction of 30 per cent in duties." "But." retorted ex-Speaker Reed, with whom the Democrat was arguing the point, "that will be a very ludicrous position to occupy to claim a 50 per cent, reduction as a fulfillment of party pledges in view of the President's letter. That would be like rating perfidy at 100 per cent, and dishonor at 75. and then saying that because the party was guilty of perfidy and not of dishonor, it liad made a saving of 25 per cent.''

Tin-. Democrats, in majority in both the National Senate and House, must be held responsible for the year's work of the people of the United States that they have thrown away. Mr. Cleveland shares the responsibility, for he diil not call an extra session of Congress until August, 1*113, when he should have summoned the House to join the Senate in March. The New York .Sun puts it in this way: "In the natural course of things we should have slowly, steadily and surely recovered from the financial earthquake of 16ii3, had we been permitted to take up the threads of business where they had been severed. Jiut such was not to be, and the whole commercial system of the country was called upon to subject itself to an ordeal of such destructive severity that the business interests of no civilized people upon the face of tho earth could have withstood it. The execution of a threat to proceed to a theoretical subversion of the tariff, not the tariff upon one, two. or three commodities, but the whole stupendous fabric of the National revenue, was. so far as business was concerned, eqoivaleut to the outbreak of universal civil war."

Democratic party would be in

poor business following the lead of the erratic Watterson.—A rijux-Xcws. The Democratic party, however, did follow in the lead of the "erratic Watterson" in the Chicago Convention. When the committee on resolutions reported the platform which it had agreed to it did notcome up to the

Wat-

tersonian idea of free trade. He. therefore, mounted the rostrum and made a strong speech in favcr of Larry Neat's substitute. The scene was similar to the scene in the House when Chairman Wilson made his famous speech in which he read the President's letter swearing by the eternal that the house would never back down, and afterwards did. Watterson may be "erratic," but no person has ever charged him with inconsistency. He is an honest and sincere free trader, and is as brilliant and able as he is honest and sincere. The Democratic party may le in poor business in following the lead of the erratic Watterson, but if it had been true to the Wattersonian idea it would not now have been sprawling in the Valley of Humiliation, the result of having smashed the Chicago platform through its acceptance of the Gorman tariff bill. Because of this recreancy to the principles laid down at Chicago it has made a record of incompetency, of wasted opportunities, and of rank in efficiency. In other words, it went up in 1882 like a Colurnbiad ami came, down in 18U4 like a I'opgun.

In tbe A\ictet °f Al&rros.

BY ROBERT BARS ("LUKE PH.iSP.») The men had evidently a sense of humor, in spite of their blood-thirsty business, for a smile fliokered on their faoes In tho lantern-light, and several bayonets were unconsciously lowered. But the hard face of tha commander did not relax. "You are doing yourself no good by your talk," he said, solemnly. "What you say will be used against yon." "Yes, Bud what you do will be used against you and don't forget that fact. It's you who are in danger—not nic. You are at this moment making about tho biggest ass of yourself there is in Canada." "Pinion these men," cried the captain, gruffly. "Pinion nothing!" shouted Yates, shaking off the grasp of a man who had sprung to his side. But both Yates and

Renmark were speedily overpowered and then an unseen difilculty presented itself. Murphy pathetically remarked that they had no rope. The captain was a man of resource. "Cut enough rope from the tent to tie them." "And when you're at it, Murphy," said Yates, "cut off enough more to hang yourself with. You'll need it before long. And remember that any damage you do to that tent you'll have to pay for. It's hired."

Yates gave them all the trouble he could while they tied his elbows and wrists together, offering sardonic suggestions and cursing their clumsiness. Renmark submitted quietly. When the operation was finished, the professor said, with the calm confidence of one who has an empire behind him and knows it: "I warn you, sir, that this outrage is committed on British soil, and that I, on whom It is committed, am a British subject." "Heavens and earth, Renmark, If you find it impossible to keep your mouth shut, do not use the word 'subject,' but citizen." "I am satisfied with the word, and with the protection given to those who use It." "Look here, Renmark, you had better let me do the talking. You will only put your foot in it. I know the kind of men I have to deal with you evidently don't."

In tying the professor they came upon the pistol in his coat pocket. Murphy held it up to the light. "1 thought, you said you were unarmed?" remarked the captain, severely, taking the revolver in his hand. "I was unarmed. The revolver is mine, but tho professor would not let me use it. If he had, all of you would be running for dear life through the woods." "You admit that you are a British subject?" said the captain to Renmark, Ignoring Yates. "He doesn't admit it he brags of it." said the latter, before Renmark could speak. "You can't scare him so quit this fooling, and let us know how Ions we are to ntaml In? re trussed up like this." "I propose, captain," said the redheaded man, "that wc shoot these men where they stand, and report to the general. Thvy are spies. They are armed, and they deny it. It's according to the rules of war. captain!" "Rules of war! What do you know of the rules of war, you red-headed Senegambian? Rules "f Hoylc! Your line is digging sewers, I imagine. Come, captain, undo these ropes, and make up your mind quickly. Trot us along to Gen. O'Neill just as fast as you can. The sooner you get us there the more time you will have for being sorry over what you have done."

But the captain still hesitated and looked from one to the other of his men, as if to make up his mind whether they would obey him if he went to extremities. Yates' quick eye noted that the two prisoners had nothing to hope for. even from the men who smiled. The shooting of two unarmed and b'Xind men seemed to them about the correct way of beginning a greatstruggle for freedom. "Well," said the captain at length, "we must do it in the proper form, so I suppose we should have a court-mar-tial. Are you agreed?"

They were unanimously agreed. "Look here," cried Yates, and there was a certain impressiveness in his voice in spite of his former levity, "this farce has gone just as far as it is going. Go inside the tent there, and in my coat pocket you will find a telegram, the first of a dozen or two received by me within the last twenty-four hours. Then you will see whom you propose to shoot."

The telegram was found and the captain read it, while Tim held the lantern. He looked from under his knitted brows at the newspaper man. "Then vou are one of the Argus staff." "I am chief of the Argus staff. As you see, five of my men will be with Gen. O'Neill to-morrow. The first question they will ask him will be: 'Where is Yates?' The next thing that will happen will be that you will be hanged for your stupidity, not by Canada nor by tho state of New York, but by your own general, who will curse your memory ever after. You are fooling, not with a subject this time, but with a citizen, and your general is not such an idiot as to monkey with tho United States government and, what is a blamed sightWorse, with the great American press. Come, captain, we've had enough of this. Cut these cords just as quickly as you can. and take us to the general. We were going to see him in the morning anyhow." "But this man says he is a Canadian." "That's all right. My friend is me.

If you touch him you touch me. Now hurry up. Climb down from your perch. I shall have enough of troubln now, getting the general to forgive all the blunders you have made to-night, without your adding insult to injury. Tell your men to untie us and throw tho ropes back into the tent. It will soon be daylight. Hustle, and let us be off." "Ontle them," said the captain, with a sigh.

Yates shook himself when liis arms regained their freedom. "Now, Tim," he said, "run into that tent and bring out my coat. It's chilly here."

Tim did instantly as requested, and helped Yates on with his coat. "Good boy!" said Yatea. "You've evidently been porter' In a hoteL" Tim Tinned.

"I think," snlfl Yatea, memtatlvely, '.hat if yon'look under tho right-hand bunk, Tim, you will find a jug. It belongs to the professor, although ho has

hidden it under my bed to divert suspicion from himself. Just fish it out anB bring it here. It is not as full as it was, but there's enough to go round, if the professor does not take more than his share."

The gallant troop smackcd their lips in anticipation, and Renmark looked astonished to see the jug brought forth. "You first, professor," said Yates'^ and Tim innocently offered him the jug. The learned man shook his head. Yates laughed, and took it himself. ""Well, here's to you, boys," he said. "And may you all get back as safely to New York as I will." The jug passed down along the lino until Tim finished it. "Now. then, for the camp of the Fenian army," cried Yates, taking Renraark's arm and they began their march through the woods. "Great Caesar, Still}'," he continued to his friend, "this is rest and quiet with a vengeance, isn't it?"

CHAPTER VIII.

The company, feeling that they had to put their best foot foremost in tho presence of their prisoners, tried at first to maintain something like military order in marching through the woods. Thev soon found, however, that this was a difficult, thing to do. Canadian forests are not as trimly kept as English parks. Tim walked on ahead with the lantern, but three times he tumbled over some obstruction and disappeared suddenly from view, uttering maledictions. His final effort in this line was a triumph. He fell over the lantern and smashed it. When all attempts at reconstruction failed, the party tramped on in go-as-you-please fashion, and found they did better without the light than with it. In fact, although it was not yet four o'clock, daybreak was already filtering through the trees, and the w-^ods were perceptibly lighter. "We must be getting near the camp said the captain. "Will I shout, sir?" asked Murphy. "No, no. We can't miss it. Keep on as you are doing."

They were nearer the camp than they suspected. As they blundered on among the cracking underbrush and dry twigs, the sharp report of a rifle echoed through the forest, and a bullet whistled above their heads. "Fat the divil are you foiring at, Mike Lynch?" cried the alderman, who recognized the shooter, now rapidly falling back. "Oh, it's you, is it?" said the sentry, stopping in his flight. The captain strode angrily towards him. "What do you mean by tiring like that? Don't you know enough to ask for the countersign before shooting?" "Sure I forgot about it, captain, entirely. But then, yo see, I never can

"VOU FIRST, PROFESSOK," SAID YATES.

hit anything so it's little difference it makes." The shot had roused the camp, and there was now wild commotion, everybody thinking the Canadians were upon them.

A strange sight met the eyes of Yates and Renmark. Both were astonished to see tho ifumber of men that O'Neill had under his command. They were a motley crowd. Some tattered United States uniforms were among them, but the greater number were .dressed as ordinary individuals, although a few had trimmings of green braid on their clothes. Sleeping out for a couple of nights had given the crowd the unkempt appearance of a great company of tramps. Tho officers were indistinguishable from the men at first, but afterwards Yates noticed that they, mostly In plain clothes and slouch hats, had sword-belts buckled around them and one or two had swords that had evidently seen service in the United States cavalry. "It's all right boys." cried the captain to the excited mob. "It was only that fool Lynch who fired at us. There's nobody hurt. Where's the general?" "Here he comes," said half a dozen voices at once, and tho crowd made way for him.

Gen. O'Neill was dressed in ordinary citizen's costume, and did not have oven a sword-belt. On his head of light hair was a black soft felt hat. His face was pale and covered with freckles. He looked more like a clerk from a store than like the commander of an army. He was evidently somewhere between thirty-live and forty years of age. "Oh, it's you, is it?" he said "Why are you back? Any news?"

The captain saluted, military fashion, and replied: "We took two prisoners, sir. They were encamped in a tent in the woods. One of them says he is an American citizen and says he knows you, so I brought them in." "I wish you had brought in tho tent too," said tho general, with a wan

smile. "It would bean improvement on sleeping in the open air. Are these the prisoners? 1 don't know either of these men." "The captain makes a mistake in saying that 1 claimed a personal acquaintance with you, general. What 1 said was that you would recognize somewhat quicker than he did who I was, and the desirability of treating me with reasonable decency. Just show the general that telegram you took from my coat-poiJket, captain."

Tho paper was produced, and O'Neill read it over once or twice. "Ynuare on the New York Argus, then?" "Very much so, general." "1 hope you have not been roughly used?" "Oh, no merely tied up in a hard knot and threatened with shooting— that's all." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Still, you must make some allowance at a time like this. If you will come with me I will write you a pass which will prevent any similar mistake happening in the future." The general led the way to a smouldering camp-fire, where, out of a valise, he took writing materials. and, using the valise as a desk, began to write. After he had written "Headquarters of the Grand Army of Irish Republic," he looked up and asked Yates his first name. Being answered, he inquired the name of his friend. "I want nothing from you," interposed Renmark. "Don't put my name on the paper." "Oh, that's all right," said Yates. "Never mind him, general. He's a learned man who doesn't know when to taik and when not to. As you march up to our tent, general, you will sec an empty jug, which will explain everything.

The Fenian general looked up at the professor.
