WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22. 1894.

THE Aiijus-Xcws says the GorraaiiUrice bill is better than the McKinlev bill, but the Louisville Courier-.Immial says that is not what the Democratic platform demands, as it called for tariff for revenue only.

THK Mt. Vernon (Ivv.) HUjiuil, says that at a Hreckenridg-e barbecue in Hourbon county they had "live sliorthoru beeves, forty Southdown sheep. 400 chickens, and J3S basketscof the best things thecg-ood farmers' wives could prepare." The Seventh Kentucky district should be the tramps' paradise.

THK Republican Congressional Committee will during the campaign, send out 1.0O0.000 copies of President Cleveland's letter to Chairman Wilson, half of that number having already been been mailed. It is the same letter in which the President denounced the tariff bill now about to become a law as a bill of "party perfidy and party dishonor."

THK Senate Finance Committee reported the House free sugar bill back with an amendment providing for a duty of 41) per cent, straight on sugar. It will thus be seen that the Democratic Senators not in the Gorman combine are not favorable to free sugar. It was never intended that any of the popgun bills should become laws. Their purpose was to delude suckers like the Arjus-Xcic* which are to be found in shoals all over the country.

TIIK New York World, the leading Democratic paper of the United States, places the responsibility for the snjjar scandal where it properly belongs, saying: "For this triumph of the sugar ring President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle must be held in a Targe measure responsible. The President's labored apology for a sugar tax in his letter to Mr. AVilson has been the chief stumbling block to a rejection or modification of the scandalous Senate schedule."

THK New York Trllmvc pithily says: If we correctly understand the opinion of leading Democratic journals, the Gorman tariff is not the work of conscientious tariff reformers, but a cowardly and contemptible makeshift devised by an Ohio "railwaj- wrecker," a Troy brewer, a New Jersey sweatleather manufacturer and a Maryland trickster financially interested in coalcarrving railroads: and their fingers are smeared with the dripping of the sugar trust. If the Democratic press tell the truth, it makes out a tremendous case for an executive veto. The President will be as blind and as sordid as his coparceners if he signs the Gorman bill.

FIXING THK RESPONSIBILITY. The attempt of the Aryu*-Ncic8 to fasten the responsibility upon the Republicans for the failure of the Democrats to pass an acceptable tariff bill will prove a wretched failure. It isn't the business of Republicans to assist

Democrats out of the tariff mire. They were opposed to all the bills that were before the House and Senate, and at no time did they vote with the Gorman combine or any other Democratic combine. The Gorman-Briee bill passed the Senate with 43 votes in its favor. These l'i votes consisted of 41 Democrats and two Populists. One Democrat,—Hill—and all the Republicans voted against it. It passed the House with the vote of 180 Democrats and Populists. All the Hepublicans and thirteen Democrats voted against it. The responsibility for the passage of the Gorman bill, therefore, rests entirely with the Democrats. The Ar-)w-XewH would do well to follow the advice of Senator Mills. "I have not risen." he said, in opening the speech, "either to attack or defend the bill which has recently passed Congress and is now awaiting the signature of the President. I think, perhaps, the least we say about the measure the better it will be. It is the most remarkable measure that has ever found itself upon the pages of the statute books of any country. It is a phenomenon in political science and especially is it so when we consider that this is a popular Government and that legislation in a popular Government is the crystallization of the public will. I make bold to say here to-day that the bill does not reflect the sentiment of one thousand people of the United States." The least the Anjux-Kcws can say about the measure the better it will be, to use the language of the Texan Senator.

BT B0BEBT BABB ("LUKE fiHABF.") "This Is what 1 can a rescue," whispered Yates to his linked companion.

What is a stern upholder of the law to do when the interforer with justice is a determined and angry woman accustomed to having her own way? Stoliker looked helplessly at llirain as the supposed head of the house, but the old man merely shrugged his shoulders, as much as to say: "You see how It is yourself. I am helpless." "Mrs. Bartlett inarched her prisoners through the gate and up to tho house. "All I ask of you now," said Yates, "is that you will give Roninark and me seats together at the table. We cannot bear to be separated even for an Instant."

Having delivered her prisoners to the oustody of her daughter, at the same time admonishing her to get breakfast as quiokly as possible, Mrs. Uurtlett went to the gate again. The oonstable was still on his horse. Hiram huil asked him, by way of treating him to a nonoontroversial subject, if this was tlio oolt ho had bought from old Brown on the seoond ooncesslon, and Stoliker had replied that it was. Hiram was saying he thought he reoognized the horse by his sire, when Mrs. Bartlett broke, in upon them. "Come, Sam," she said, "no sulking, you know. Slip off the horse and come In. How's your mother?" "She's pretty well, thank you," Bald Sam, sheepishly, coming down on his feet again.

Kitty Bartlett, her gayety gone and her- eyes red, waited on the prisoners, but absolutely refused to serve Sam Stoliker, on whom she looked with the utmost contempt, not taking into account the fact that the poor young man had been merely doing his duty, and doing it well. "Take off these handouffs, Sam," said Mrs. Bartlett, "until they have breakfast, at least."

Stoliker produced a key and unlocked tho manacles, slipping them into his pocket. "Ah! now," said Yates, looking at his red wrist, "we can breathe easier, and I. for one, can eat more."

The professor said nothing. The iron had not only encircled his wrist, but had entered his soul as well. Although Yates tried to make the early meal as cheerful as possible, it was rather a gloomy festival. Stoliker began to feel, poor mail, that the paths of duty were unpopular. Old Hiram could be always depended upon to add somberness and taciturnity to a wedding feast, and the professor, never the liveliest of companions, sat 6ilent, with clouded brow, and vexed even the cheerful Mrs. Bartlett by having evidently no appetite. When the hurried meal was over, Yates, noticing that Miss Kitty had left the room, sprang up and walked toward the kitchen door. Stoliker was on his feet In an Instant and made as though to follow him. "Sit down," said the professor, sharply, speaking for the -first time. "He is not going to escape. Don't be afraid. He has done nothing and has no fear of arrest. It is always the innocent that you stupid officials arrest. The woods all around you are full of real Fenians, but you take excellent care to keep out of their way and give your attention to molesting perfectly inoffensive people." "Good for you, professor!" cried Mrs. Bartlett, emphatically. "That's the truth, if ever it was spoken. But are there Fenians in the woods?" "Hundreds of them. They came on us in the tent about three o'clock this morning—or at least an advance guard did—and after talking of shooting us where we stood they marched us to the Fenian camp instead. Yates got a pass written by the Fenian general, so that we shouid not be troubled again. That is the precious document which this man thinks is deadly evidence. He hev«:r asked us a question, but he olapped the handcuffs on our wrists, while the other fools held pistols to our heads." "It isn't my place to ask questions," retorted Stoliker, doggedly. "You can tell all this to the colonel or the sheriff, and if they let you go I'll say nothing against it."

Meanwhile, "Vates had made his way into the kitchen, taking the precaution to shut the door after him. Kitty Bartlett looked quickly around as the door shut. Before she oould speak, the young man caught her by the plump shoulders—a thing which he certainly had no right to do. "Miss Kitty Bartlett," he said, "you've been crying." "I haven't and if I had, it is nothing to you." "Oh, I'm not so sure about that. Don't deny it. For whom were you crying? The professor?" "No, nor for you either, although 1 suppose you have conceit enough to think so." "Mo conceited? Anything but that. Come now, Kitty, for whom were you crying? I must know." "Please let me go, Mr. Yates," said Kitty, with an effort at dignity. "Dick is my name, Kit." "Well, mine is not Kit." "You're quite right. Now that you mention it, I will call you Kitty, -. ":ich is much prettier than the abbreviation." "I did not 'mention it.' Please let me go. Nobody has the right to call me anything but Miss Bartlett that is, you haven't, anyhow." "Well, Kitty, don't you think It is about time to give somebody the right? Why won't you look up at 'me, so that I can tell for sure whether I should have accused you of crying? Look up —Miss Bartlett." "Please let me go, Mr. Yates. Mother will bo here in a minute." "Mother is a wise and thoughtful woman. Wre'U risk mother. Besides,

I'm not in the least afraid of her, and I don't believe you are. I think sho Is at this moment giving poor Mr. Stoliker a piece of her minds otherwise, I imagine, he would have followed me. I saw it in his eye." "I hate that man," said Kitty, inconsequently. "I like him because he brought me here, even if I was handcuffed. Kitty, why don't you look up at me? «^re vou afraid?" "What should I be afraid of?" asked Kitty, giving him one swift glance from her pretty Mue eyes. "Not of you, I hope." "Well, Kitty, sincerely hope not. Now, Miss Bartlett, do you know why I came out here?" "FOP something more to eat, very likely," said the girl, mischievously.

"Now, Miss Kitty, that, to a man in captivity, is both cruel and unkind. Besides, I had a first-rate breakfast, thank you. No such motive drew me into the kitchen. But I will tell you. You shall have it from my own lips. That was the reason."

He suited the action to the word, and kissed her before she knew what was about to happen. At least Yates, with all his experience, thought he had taken her unawares. Men often make mistakes in little matters of this kind. Kitty pushed him with apparent indignation from her. but she did not strike him across tho face as she had done before when he merely attempted what he had now accomplished. Perhaps this was because she had been taken so completely by surprise. "I shall call my mother," she threatened. "Oh, no, you won't. Besides, she wouldn't come." Then this frivolous young man began to sing in a low voice the flippant refrain: "Here's to the girl that gets a kiss and runs and tells her mother," ending with the wish that she should live and die an old maid and never get another. Kitty should not have smiled, but she did she should have rebuked his levity, but she didn't. "It is about the great and disastrous consequences of living and dying an old maid that I want to speak to you. have a plan for the prevention of such a catastrophe, and I would like to get your approval of it."

Yates had released the girl, partly because she had wrenched herself away from him and partly because he heard a movement in the dining-room and expected the entrance of Stoliker or some of the others. Miss Kitty stood with her back to the table, her eyes fixed on a spring flower, which she had unoonsciously taken from a vase standing on the window ledge. She smoothed the petals this way and that, and seemed so interested in botanical investigation that Yates wondered whether she was paying attention to what he was saying or not. What his plan might have been can only lie guessed, for the fates ordained that they should be interrupted at this critloal moment by the one person on earth who could make Yutes' tongue falter.

The outer door to the kitchen burst open and Margaret Howard stood on the threshold, her lovely face aflame with Indignation, and her dark hair down over her shoulders, forming a picture of loveliness that fairly took dates' breath 'away. She did not notice him. "Oh, Kitty!" she cried, "those wretches have stolen all our horses. Is your father here?" "What wretches?" asked Kitty, ignoring the question, and startled by the sudden advent of her friend. "The Fcuians. They have taken all the horses that were in the fields, and your horses as well. So I ran over to tell you." "Have they taken your own horse, too?" "No. I always keep Gypsy in the stable. The thieves did not come near the house. Oh, Mr. Yates!—I did not see you." And Margaret's hand, with the unconscious vanity of a woman, sought her disheveled hair,which Yates thought too becoming ever to be put in order again.

Margaret reddened as she realized from Kitty's evident embarrassment that she had impulsively broken in upon a conference of two. "I must tell your father about it," she said, hurriedly, and before Yates oould open the door she had done so for herself. Again she was taken aback to see so many sitting round the table.

There was a moment's silence between the two in the kitchen, but the speU was broken. "I—I don't suppose there will be any trouble about getting back the horses," said Yates, hesitatingly. "If you lose them the government will have to pay." "I presume so," answered Kitty, coldly then: "Excuse me, Mr. Yates I mustn't stay here any longer." So

"MISS KITTY BARTLETT, YOU'VE BEEN CRYING."

saying, she followed Margaret Into the other room. Yates drew a long breath of relief. All his old difficulties of preference had arisen when the outer door burst open. He felt that he had had a narrow escape, and began to wonder if he had really committed himself. Then the fear swept over him that Margaret might have noticed her friend's evident oonfusion and surmised its cause. He wondered whether this would help him or hurt him with Margaret if he finally made up his mind to favor her with his serious attentions. Still, he reflected that, after all, they were both country girls and would no doubt be only too eager to accept a ohance to live in New York. Thus his mind gradually resumed its normal state of self-confi-dence, and he argued that whatever Margaret's suspicions were, they could not but make him more precious in her eyes. He knew of instances where the Tery danger of losing a man had turned a woman's wavering mind entirely In the man's favor. When he had reaohed this point, the door from the diningroom opened, and Stoliker appeared. "We are waiting for you," said the oonstable. "All right. I am ready."

As he entered the room he saw the two girls standing together talking earnestly. "I wish I was a constable for twentyfour hours," cried Mrs. Bartlett. "I would be hunting horse-thieves, instead of handoufSng Innocent men." "Come along," said the Impassive Htoliker, taking the handcuffs from his pocket. "If yon three men," continued Mrs. Bartlett, "cannot take those two to camp, or to jail, or anywhere else, without handcuffing- them, I'll go aloni with you myself and protect yon an see that thev don't escape.

to be ashamed1of yourself, Sam Stoliker, if you have any manhood about you —which I doubt." "I must do my duty."

The professor rose from his chair. "Mf. Stoliker," he said, with determination, "my friend and myself will go with you quietly. We will make no attempt to escape, as we have done nothing to make us fear investigation. But I give you fair warning that if you attempt to put a handcuff on iny wrist again I will smash you."

A cry of terror from one of the girls at the prospect of a fight caused the professor to realize where he was. He

'DON'T BEG MY PABDON, BUT—SMASH HIM."

turned to them and said, In a contrite voice: "Ohl I forgot you were here. I sincerely beg your pardon."

Margaret, with blazing eyes, cried: "Don't beg my pardon, but—smash him."

Eureka!

Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the best remedy in existence for the flux. His experience is well worth remembering. He says: "Last summer I had a very severe attack of flux. I tried almost every known remedy, none giving relief. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended to me. I purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I continued to use the medicine and was entirely cured. I take pleasure in recommending this remedy to any person suffering with such a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine in existence." 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & Booe, 111 N. Washington St., opposite court house.

Of Interest to Mother*.

The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam of McKeesport, Penn., in the treatment ment of diarrhoea in her children, will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers. She says: "I spent several weeks in Johnstown, Pa., after the great flood, on account of my husband being employed there. We had several children with us, two of whom took diarrhoea very bad. I got some of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them. 1 knew of several other cases where it was equally successful I think it cannot be ex celled and cheerfully recommend it." 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & Booe, 111 N.
