THK Democrats should adopt the crow instead of the rooster as their emblem this year.

"IT was A choice between the devil and the deep sea." says Senator Mills, "and we took the deep sea." And there thev are.

TIIF. workingmen whose wages are reduced through the Democratic tariff bill will have a chance to reduce the Democratic vote next November.

THK Gorman bill increases the duty on sugar of all grades 172.10 per cent, while it reduces the duty on decorated chinaware 32 per cent. But then sugar is one of the "luxuries," while decorated chinaware is one of the "necessities."

ISN'T it about time for the Indianapolis Sentinel to reprint President Cleveland's letter to Chairman Wilson in black type, caps, in the first column of the fourth page, and mark it "tf?" The foreman will find it on the standing galley among some e. o. d. patent medicine advertisements.

THK Gorman tariff bill will be a great boon to the poor man. Imported velvets which cost SlOayard under the McKinley law can be bought for SS a yard under the Gorman law. The reduction is 20 per cent. The next velvet dress that the poor man buys for his wife will only cost 8120 instead of Slfil), a saving of S30. liow happy the work ing man ought to be to have the "necessaries of life" reduced.

HAKMOXV now reigns among the Republicans of the Tenth District. They held their convention on Wednesday at Logansport and nominated Dr. Jetliro A. Hatch, of Newton county, on the eleventh ballot. His chief opponents were appointed as a committee of notification and white-winged peace roosted over the door of the convention hall. Ratifying speeches followed the nomination, chief 'among which was that of C. 15. Landis in which he pledged constant service to the party, a ud which evoked great enthusiasm.

IT is almost incredible that the speech of Daniel Webster in reply to Ilayne, the greatest ever delivered in the Senate, was wholly impromptu: yet we have the assurance of Mr. Webster himself that it was. In a speech delivered in New York, in 1831, he said:

Seeing the true grounds of the constitution thus attacked, I raised my voice in its favor, I must confess, with no preparation or previous intention. I can hardl3T say that I embarked in the contest from a sense of duty. It was an instantaneous impulse of inclination, not against duty I trust, but hardly waiting for its suggestions. I feel it t9 be a contest for the integrity of the constitution, and I was ready to enter into it, not thinking or caring personally how I might come out.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY. THK Democratic Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations is "cooking'' up statements to show a record for economy made by the present Congress. The total appropriations for the session are set down asS40(),i 0S,3GU, a reduction he claims of S2S.835,989.70. This "saving" is almost wholly made up of the cut in the amount appropriated for pensions. The boasted "economy'' of the Democratic Congress falls alone upon the old soldiers—the defenders of the country from 1801 to 18i)5. Of the appropriations made by the last Congress for pensions the sum of 823,822,715.04 was withheld from them and covered back to the treasury last year. That as accomplished as is shown by a report made to the Senate by the Pension Bureau. This report shows that between March 4, 1893, when Harrison went out and Cleveland caine in, and May lfi 1894, a period of about fourteen months, the pensions of 15,520 old soldiers and widows had been suspended. Of this number the Pension Oflice found that it had to reinstate at their former rates, 9.509. thus confessing the hasty and inconsiderate and unfiling attack upon these deserving men. Nearly 2,000 of these reinstatements were made in

Ohio in one day just before the election last fall. It is, however, gratifythat even an unfriendly Administration was forced to restore the 9,509 at -.-.the rates formerly allowed. But 3,014 were reduced from former rates, cutting them down to 30 and 88 per month, where they had been drawing 810 and 812 per month many more .were cut down to 82 and 84 a month •where they had been drawing 84 and 88 per month 2,171 were dropped alto gether from the rolls, and 320 are still under suspension, pursued, undoubtedly, by the detectives of the Pension bureau. Leaving out the pension roll, the current expenses have been increased by the appropriation bills just passed. The bonded debt has been increased by 850,000,000, and the majority in Congress is entitled to no credit for aadisplay of "economy" in view of all the facts and especially in view of the fact that the end of the yiar will show a deficiency of 870,000,000.

BY B0BEBT BARK ("LUKE EHAfiP.") Then a consciousness ol wnatsno naa said overcame her, and the excited girl hid her blushing face on her friend's shoulder, while Kitty lovingly stroked her dark tangled hair.

Henmark took a step towards them and stopped. Yates, with his usual quickness, came to the rescue, and his cheery voice relieved the tension of the situation: "Come, come, Stollker, don't be an idiot. I do not object In the least to the handcuffs, and, If you are dying to handcuff somebody, bandouff me. It hasn't struck your luminous mind that you have not the first tithe of evidence against my friend, and that even if I were the greatest criminal In America the fact of his being with me is no crime. The truth is, Stoliker, that I wouldn't be in your shoes for a good many dollars. You talk a great deal about doing your duty, but you havo exceeded it In the case of the professor. I hope you have no property, for the professor can, if he likes, make you pay sweetly for putting the handcuffs on him without a warrant or even without one jot of evidence. What is the penalty for false arrest, Illram?" continued Yates, suddenly appealing to the old man. "I think it is a thousand dollars."

Hiram said gloomily that he didn't know. Stoliker was hit on a tender spot, for he owned a farm. "Better apologize to the professor and let us get along—Good-by, all— Mrs. Bartlett, that breakfast was the rery best 1 ever tasted."

The woman smiled and shook hands with him. "Good-by, Mr. Yates and I hope you will soon come back to have another."

Stoliker slipped the handcuffs into his pocket again and mounted his horse. The girls from the veranda matched the procession move up the dusty road. They were silent, and had even forgotten the exciting event of the stealing of the horses.

CHAPTER IX.

When the two prisoners with their three captors came in sight of the Canadian volunteers they beheld a scene which was much more military than the Fenian camp. They were promptly halted and questioned by a picket before coming to the main body, and the sentry knew enough not to shoot until he had asked for the countersign. Passing the picket, they came in full view of the Canadian force, the men of which looked very spick and span In uniforms which seemed painfully new In the clear light of the fair June morning. The guns, topped by a bristle of bayonets that glittered as the rising sun shone on them, were stacked with neat precision here and there. The men were preparing their breakfast, and a temporary halt had been called for that purpose. The volunteers were scattered by the side of the road and in the fields. Renmark recognized the colors of the regiment from his own city, and noticed that there was with it a oompany that was strange to him. Although led to them a prisoner, he felt a glowing pride in the regiment and their trim appearance, a pride that was both national und civio. He Instinctively held himself more erect as he approached. "Renmark," said Yates, looking at him with a smile, "you are making a thoroughly British mistake." "What do you mean? I haven't 6poken." "No, but I see it in your eye. You are underestimating the enemy. You think this pretty company is going to walk over that body of unkempt tramps we saw in the woods this morning."

I do, indeed, if the tramps wait to be walked over—which I very much doubt." "That's just where you make the mistake. Most of these are raw boys, who know all that can be learned of war on a cricket-field. They will be the worst-whipped set of young fellows before night that this part of the country has ever seen. Walt till they see one of their comrades fall with the blood gushing out of a wound in his breast. If they don't turn and run, then I'm a Dutchman. I've seen raw recruits lefore. They should have a company of older men here who have seen service, to steady them. The fellows we saw this morning were sleeping like logs in the. damp woods, as we stepped over them. They are veterans. What will be but a mere skirmish to them will seem to these boys the most awful tragedy that ever happened."

Some of the volunteers crowded around the incomers, eagerly inquiring for news of the enemy. The Fenians had taken the precaution to cut off all the telegraph wires leading out of Fort Erie, and henco those in command of the Companies did not even know that the Fenians had left the locality. They were now on their way to a point wh- they were to meet Col. Peacocke's force of regulars—a point which they were destined never to reach. Stoliker sought an officer and delivered up his prisoners, together with the incriminating paper that Yates had handed to him. The officer's decision was short and sharp, as military decisions are generally supposed to be. He ordered the constable to take both of the prisoners and put them in jail at Port Colborne. There was no time now for an inquiry into the case that could come afterwards and as long as the men were safe in jail everything would be all right. To this the constable mildly Interposed two objections. In the first place, he said, he was with the volunteers, not in his capacity as con* stable, but in the position of guide and man who knew the country. In the second place, there was no jail at Port Colborne. "Where is the nearest jail?" "The jail of the county is at Wei land, the county town," replied the constable. "Very well take them there.ft! "But I am here as guide," repeated Stoliker.

The oflicer hesitated for a moment. "You haven't handcuffs with you, I presume?" "Yes, I have," said Stoliker, producing the Instrument. "Well, then, handcuff them together, and I will send one of the oompany over to Welland with them. How far Is It across oountry?"

Stollker told him. The offloer called one of the volunteers and said to himi "You are to make your way across oountry to Welland and deliver these men up to the Jailer there. They will

be handcuffed together, but you take a revolver with you, and if they give you any trouble, shoot them."

The volunteer reddened and drew himself up. "I am not a policeman,' he said. "1 am a soldier." "Very well, then, your first duty as a soldier 1b to obey orders. I order you to take these men to Welland."

The volunteers had crowded around as this-dlscussion went on, and a murmur rose among them at the order of the officer. They evidently sympathized with their comrade's objection, to the duties of a policeman. One of them made his way through the crowd and oriedt "Hello! This Is the professor. This is Mr. Renmark. He's no Fenian." Two or three more of the university students recognized Renmark, and, pushing up to him, greeted him warmly. He was evidently a favorite with his olass. Among others young Howard pressed forward. "It 1b nonsense," he cried, "talking about sending Prof. Renmark to jail. He is no more a Fenian than GOT. Qen. Monck. We'll aU go bail for the professor."

The officer wavered. "If you know him," he said, "that is a different matter. But this other man has a letter from the commander of the Fenians recommending him to the consideration of all friends of the Fenian cause. I can't let him go free." "Are you the ohief in command here?" asked Renmark. "No, 1 am not." "Mr. Yates is a friend of mine who is here withame on his vacation. lie is a New York journalist, and has nothing in common with the invaders. If you insist on sending him to Welland I must demand that we be taken before the offioer in command. In any case he and I stand or fall together. I am exaotly as guilty or Innocent as he is." "We can't bother the colonel about every triviality." "A man's liberty is no triviality. What in the name of common sense are you fighting for but for liberty?" "Thanks, Renmark, thanks," said Yates, "but I don't care to see the colonel, and I shall welcome Welland jail. I am tired of all this bother. I came here for rest and quiet, and I am going to have them if I have to go to jail for them. I'm coming reluctantly to the belief that jail's the most comfortable place in Canada, anyhow." "But this Is an outrage," cried the professor, indignantly. "Of course it is," replied Yates, wearily 'but the woods are full of them. There's always outrages going on, especially in so-called free countries therefore one rfore or less won't make much difference. Come, officer, who's going to take me to Welland? or shall I have to go by myself? I'm a Fen-

ian from 'way back, and came here especially to overturn the throne and take It home with me. For heaven's sake know your own mind one way or other, and let us end this conference."

The officer was wroth. He speedily gave the order to Stoliker to handcuff the prisoner to himself and deliver him to the jailer at Welland. "But I want assistance," objected Stoliker. "The prisoner is a bigger man than I am." The volunteers laughed as Stoliker mentioned this self-evident fact. "If anyone likes to go with you he can go. I shall give no orders."

No one volunteered to accompany the constable. "Take this revolver with you," continued the officer, "and if he attempts to escape ^Jioot him. Besides, you know the way to Welland, so I can't send anybody In your place, even if I wanted to." "Howard knows the way," persisted Stoliker. That young man snoke up with great indignation: "YeB, but Howard isn't constable, and Stollker Is. I'm not going."

Renmark went up to his friend. "Who's acting foolishly now, Yates?" he said. Why don't you Insist on seeing the colonel? The ohances are ten to one that ycrn would be allowed off." "Don't make any mistake. The colonel will likely be some fussy Individual who magnifies his own importance and who will send a squad of volunteers to escort me, and I want to avoid that. These officers always stick by each other they're bound to. I want to go alone with Stoliker. I have a score to settle with him." "Now, don't do anything rash. You've done nothing so far, but if you assault an officer of the law that will be a different matter." "Satan reproving sin. Who prevented you from hitting Stollker a short timo since?" "Well, I was wrong then. You are wrong now." "See here, Renny," whispered Yates, "you get back to the tent and see that everything's all right. I'll be with you in an hour or so. Don't look so frightened. I won't hurt Stoliker. But I want to see this fight, and I won't got there if the coloncl sends an escort. I'm going to use Stoliker as a shield when the bullets begin flying."

The bugles sounded for the troops to fall in, and Stoliker very reluctantly attaohed one olasp of the handcuff around his own left wrist while he snapped the other on the right wrist of Yates, who embarrassed him with kindly assistance. The two manacled men disappeared down the road, while the volunteers rapidly fell In to continue their morning's march.

Young Howard beckoned to the professor from his place in the ranks. "I say, professor, how did you happen to be down this way?" "I have been camping out here for a week or more with Yates, who Is an old school-fellow of mine." "What a shame to have him led off In that way I But he seemed to rather like the idea. Jolly fellow, I should pay- Put I wish I had known you w$re

A STRANGE CASE.

How an Enemy was Foiled.

I bad to rub and beat tlioso parts until they were sore, to overcome In a measure tbe dead feeling that had taken possession of them. In addition, 1 had a strange weakness in my baok and around my \vai*t-, together with an indescribable 'gone' fcellnc in my stomach. Physicians said It was creeping paralysis, from which, according to tlioir univorsal conclusion, there is no relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they say, it continues its insidious progress until it reaches a vital point and tho sufferer dies. Such was my prospect. I had been doctoring a year and a half steadily, but with no particular benefit, when 1 saw an advertisement of l)r Miles' Kestorativo Norvino, procured a bottle and began using it. Marvelous as it may seem, but a few days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had left mo, and there has not been even tho slightest indication of its return.

Kureka!

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. 1 purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I continued to use the medicine and was en tirely 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.

Of luterextto Mothers.

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, l'a., 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. I 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.

near hero. They would only have been too glad to be of assistance to you." "They have been of assistance to me, and exceedingly kind as well." "What? You know them? All of them? Have you met Margaret?" "Yes," said the professor, slowly, but his glance fell as it encountered the eager eyes of the youth. It was evident that Margaret was tho brother's favorite. "Fall back, there," cried the officer to Renmark. "May I march along with them? or can you give me a gun and let me take part?" "No," said tho officer, with some hauteur "this is no place for civilians." Again the professor smiled, as he reflected that the whole company, as far as martial experience went, were merely civilians dressed In uniform, and he became grave again when he remembered Yates' ominous prediction regarding them. "I say, Mr. Renmark," cried young Howard, as the company moved off, "if you see any of them don't tell them I'm here especially Margaret. It might make them uneasy. I'll get leave when this Is over and drop in on them."
