TIIK process of leveling- down wages to meet the cut in the Ctorman tariff "bill is bound to be painful and stoviuy.

XKW YOKK SHH (Dem): The perfidy is accomplished and the dishonor is complete, tirover Cleveland has vetoed '.'the Democratic platform.

IT IS said that the world is to come to an end this fall. So doubt the Democracy will think so when the 'ballots are all counted out in November.

TIIK McKinley bill is dead. So is MeKiuley politically.—Anjun-Scwx. The SO,000 majority that McKinley received for Governor of Ohio last fall would indicate that he is a lively political corpse.

TIIK Democratic fight this year will be an attacking one and not a defensive battle.—Aryut-A'cwv.

That is to say that it will continue as ii has begun, and will attack each other. The Democratic fight 'among themselves as to the responsibility for the bill of "party perfidy and party --dishonor" will be "beautiful to behold.

UN July 2 Mr. Cleveland wrote Congressman Wilson: "How can we face the people after indulging in such outrageous discriminations and violations of principle?" Later on Wilson in a speech told what he thought of it. Mr. ..Cleveland's question will now come directly to the people. "How can we face the people'.'"

TIIK Gonnan tariff will kill some industries, cripple others, and put an end to all hope of an increase of wages in any. If the price of manufactured products of any kind is reduceu it will be because the market will be glutted with foreign goods and because American manufacturers are trying to compete with ther foreign rivals on falliu wages.

TIIKV are having a very warm time over in the Ashland district. Mr Hreckinridge, in one of his speeches said he doubted whether his opponent could tell the difference between an ad valorem and a specific tariff. Mr Owen replied by saying that he might not lie as well posted on the tariff as Mr. Hreckinridge, but he was sharp enough to keep the school girls at bay

CHICAGO Intcr-Occnn: It will not re quire Hepubliean testimony to prove that the recent Democratic legislation was conceived in "perfidy" and procured through "dishonor." and was wholly in the interest of the great trusts. That is the testimony of the leading Democrats, led by the President himself, whose cowardice made him equally as guilty as any of the actors he arraigns.

TIIK Democratic press is just now engaged in the laudable task of showing that will •The

ing. by markets and not maxims a tariff of 40 per cent, on sugar not increase the price of sugar. Democratic tariff philosophy is now reduced to this proposition, that when a Republican Congress puts a tariff on any article it increases the price of the article to the extent of the tariff, but when a Democratic Congress puts ou the tariff it does not increase the price at all. Curious, isn'» it, how things sometimes work in this world?

Ir is really amusing to seethe tergiverisationsof Democratic newspapers on the operations of a tariff law. The Indianapolis .Sentinel for instance proceeds to show thatsugar will be cheaper with a tariff than without it. This is copied approvingly by the A rgu.s-Xcn:n. and almost in the next paragraph it dogmatically asserts that "the tariff is a tax, and the consumer pays it." It is but recent history thattliis same paper endeavored to prove that with wool ou the free list the farmers would receive a higher price for his fleeces. Such subterfuge can only be accounted for only on the grounds that the "tariff is a tax" when imposed by Republicans and is not a tax when imposed by Democrats.

GIIUSIAN is in wretched health and will go to ICurope. So far as the Democratic party has any use for him he may stay in Kurope.—Anjux-Ncws.

The -1 njuf-Xewg should not speak so slightingly of the father of the law which it must defend and uphold all through the present campaign. The Democratic party will have use /or the shrewdest and brainiest man in its ranks before 1800. Of Mr. Gorman the Cleveland Plalndeulcr, the leading Democratic paperof Ohio,says: "Arthur l\ Gorman is a Democrat of Democrats: no man ever questioned his Democracy, for a more loyal man to his party never lived. He was born a Democrat and he has lived a Democrat, and he has foughfmore battles for the Democratic party than any other living man. He is wise in counsel, cool and clear-head-ed, always a gentleman, and never forgets that the first duty of a Democrat is his duty to his country, to all its interests, and to all its people." The Plaliulciilir is probably as good a Democratic prophet and teacher as the Al'lJUK-flCWH.

CHAPTER XIII.

Yates walked merrily down the road whistling "Gayly the Troubadour." I Perhaps there is no moment in a man's life that ho feels the joy of being alive more keenly than when he goes to propose to a girl of whose favorable answer he is reasonably sure, unless it bo the moment ho walks away an accepted lover. There is a magie about a June night, with its soft velvety darkness and its sweet mild air laden with the perfume of wood and field. The enchantment of the hour threw its spell over the young man. and ho resolved to live a better life and be worthy of the girl he had chosen, or rather. that fate had chosen for him. He paused a moment leaning over the fence noar to the lloward homestead, for he had not yat settled in his own mind the details of the meet ing. He would not go in, for in that case he knew he would have to talk, perhaps for hours, with every one but the person he wished to see. If ho announced himself and asked to see Margaret alone, his doing so would embarrass her at the very beginning. Yates was naturally too mucn of a diplomat to commence awkwardly. As he stood there, wishing chance would bring her out of the house, there appeared a light in the door-window of the room where he knew the convalescent boy lay. Margaret's shadow formed a silhouette on the blind. Yates caught up a handful of sand and flung it lightly against the pane. Its soft patter evidently attracted the attention of the girl, for after a moment's pause the window opened carefully and Margaret stepped quickly out and closed it, quietly standing there. "Margaret," whispered Yates, hardly above Ills breath.

The girl advanced toward the fence. "Is that you?" she whimpered in return, with an accent on the last word that thrilled her listener. The accent told as plainly as speech that the word represented the one man on earth to her.

Yes," answered Yates, springing over the fence and approaching her. "Oh!" cried Margaret, starting back then checking herself with a catch in her voice. "You—you startled me— Mr. Yates." "Not Mr. Yates any more, Margaret but Diek. Margaret, I wanted to see you alone. You know why I have come." He tried to grasp both her hands, but she put them resolutely behind her, seemingly wishing to retreat, yet standing her ground. "Margaret, you must have seen long ago how it is with me. I love you, Margaret, loyally and truly. It seems as

If I had loved you all my life. 1 certainly have since the (irst day I saw you." "Oh! Mr. Yates, you must not talk to me like this." "My darling, liow else can I talk to you? It cannot bo a surprise to you. Margaret. You must have known it long ago." "I did not. Indeed I did not—if you really mean it." "Mean it? I never meant anything as I mean this. It is everything to me, and nothing else is anything. I have knocked about the world a good deal I admit, but I never was in love before —never knew what love was until met you. I tell you that—" "I'lease. please. Mr. Yates, do not say anything more. If it is really true I cannot tell you how sorry I am. hope nothing' I have said or done ha made you believe that—that—oh, I do not know what to say. I never thought you could be in earnest about any thing." "You surely cannot have so misjudged me, Margaret. Others have but I did not expect it of you. You are far and away better than I am. No one knows that better than I. I do not pretend to be worthy of you, but 1 will be a good husband to you. Any man who gets the love of a good woman," continued Yates, earnestly, plagiarizing Renmark, "gets more than he deserves but surely such love as mine is not given merely to be scornfully trampled under foot." "I do not treat your—you scornfully, am only sorry if what you say is true." "Why do you say if it is true? Don't you know it is true?" 1'hen am very sorry—very, very sorry, and I hope it is through no fault of mine. But you will soon forget rat'. When you return to New York—" "Margaret," said the young man. bitterly, "I shall never forget you. Think what you are doing before it is too late. Think how much this means to me. If you finally refuse me you will wreck my life. I am the sort of man that a woman can make or mar. Do not, I beg of you, ruin the life of the man who loves you." "I am not a missionary," cried Margaret, with sudden anger. "If your life is to be wrecked it will be through your own foolishness, and not from any act of mine. I think it cowardly of you to say that I am to be held responsible. I have no wish to influence your future one way or another." "Not for good. Margaret?" aslced

Yates, with tender reproach. "No. A man whose gH)d or lad eonduat depends on anyone else but himself is not my ideal of a man." "Tell ine what your ideal is, so that I may try to attain it."

Margaret was silent. "You think it will be useless for me to try?" "As far as I am concerned, yes." "Margaret, I want to ask you one more question. I have no right to, but I beg you to answer me. Are you in love with anyone else?" "No!" cried Margaret, hotly. "How dare you ask me such a question?" "Oh, It is not a crime—that is, being in love with some one else Is not. I'll tell you why I dare ask. 1 swear by all the gods that I shall win you. if not this year then next, and if not next, then the 'year after. I was a coward to talk as I did, but I love you more now than I did even then. All I want to know is that you are not in love with another man." "I think yon are very cruel in persisting as you do when you have had your answer. I say no. Never! neverl never!—this year nor any other year. Is not that enough?" "Not for mo. A woman's 'no' may ultimately mean 'yes.1" "That Is true, Mr. Yates," replied Margaret, drawing herself up as one who makes a final plunge. "You remember the question you asked me just

now?—whether 1 cared for anyone else? I said "no.' That'no'meant'yes."' He was standing between her and the window, so she could not escape by tho way she came. He saw she meditated flight, and made as though he would intercept her, but she was too quick for him. She ran around the house, and he heard a door open and shut.

He knew he was defeated. Dejectedly he turned to the fence, climbing slowly over where he had leaped so lightly a few minutes before, and walked down tho road, cursing his fate. Although he admitted ho was a coward in talking to her as he did about his wreoked life, yet he knew now that every word he had spoken was true. What did tho future hold out to him? Not even tho Incentive to live. He found himself walking towards tho tent, but, not wishing to meet Renmark in his present frame of mind, he turned and came out on the Ridge road, lie was tired and broken, and resolved to stay in camp until they arrested him. Then perhaps she might haw j.aii! pity on him. Who was the other man she loved? or had she merely said that to give finality to her refusal? In his present mood he pictured the worst, and imagined her the wife of some neighboring farmer perhaps even of Stoliker. These country girls, he said to himself, never believed a man was worth looking at unless he owned a farm. He would save his money and buy up the wliolo neighborhood then she would realize what she had missed, lie climbed up on the fence beside the road, and sat on the top rail, with his heels resting on lower one, so that ho might enjoy his misery without the fatigue of walking. His vivid imagination pictured himself as in a few years' time the owner of a large section of that part of the country, with mortgages on a good deal of the remainder, including the farm owned by

Margaret's husband, lie saw her now a farmer's faded wife coming to him and bogging for further time in which to pay the seven per cent. due. He knew he would act magnanimously on such an occasion and grandly give her husband all the time he required. Perhaps then she would realize the mistake she had made. Or perhaps fame rather than riches would be his line. His name would ring throughout the land. He might become a great politician and bankrupt Canada with a rigid tariff law. The unfairness of making the whole innocent people suffer for the inconsiderate act of one of them did not occur to htm at the moment, for ho was humiliated and hurt. There is no bitterness like that which assails the man who has been rejected by the girl he adores—while it lasts.

His eye wandered towards the black mass of the Howard house. It was as dark as his thoughts. He turned his head slowly around, and like a bright star of hope there glimmered up the road a flickering light from the Bartletts' parlor window. Although time had stopped as far as he was concerned, he was convinced it could not be very late, or the liartletts would have gone to bed. It is always difficult to realize that the greatest of catastrophes are generally over in a few minutes. It seemed an age since he walked so hopefully away from the tent. As he looked at the light the thought struck him that perhaps Kitty was alone in the parlor. She at least would not have treated him so badly as the other girl and—and she was pretty, too, come to think of it. He always did like a blonde better than a brunette.

A fence rail is not a comfortable seat. It is used in some parts of the country In such a manner as to impress the sitter with the fact of its extreme discomfort. and as a gentle hint that his presence is not wanted in that immediate neighborhood. Yates recollected this with a smile as he slid off and stumbled into the ditch by the side of the road. His mind had been so preoccupied that he had forgotten about the ditcli. As he walked along the road towards the star that guided him. he remembered he iiad recklessly offered Miss Kitty to the callous professor. After all, no one knew about the episode of a short time before except himself and Margaret, and he felt convinced she was not a girl to boast of her conquests. Anyhow, it didn't matter. A man is surely master of himself.

As he neared the window he looked In. People are not particular about lowering the blinds in the country. Ho was rather disappointed to see Mrs. Bartlett sitting there knitting, like the industrious woman she was. Still, it was consoling to note that none of the men folks were present, and that Kitty. with her fluffy hair half concealing her face, sat reading a book he had lent to her. IJe rapped at the door, and it was opened by Mrs. liartlett with some surprise. "For the land's sake, is that you, Mr. Yates?" "It is." "Come right in. Why, what's the matter with you? You look as if you had lost your best friend. Ah, I see how it is"—Yates started- -"you have run out of provisions, and arc very likely as hungry as a bear." "You've hit it first time, Mrs. Bartlett. I dropped around to see if I could borrow a loaf of brea«l. We don't bake till to-morrow."

Mrs. liartlett laughed. "Nice baking you would do if you tried it. I'll get-you a loaf in a minute. Are you sure one is enough?" "Quite enough, thank you."

The good woman bustled out to tho other room for the loaf, and Yates made good use of her temporary absence. "Kitty," he whispered, "I want to see you alone for a few minutes. I'll wait for you at the gate. Can you slip out?"

Kitty blushed very red and nodded. "They have a warrant out for my arrest, and I'm off to-morrow beforo they can serve It. But I couldn't go without seeing you. You'll come, sure?"

Again Kitty nodded, after looking up at him in alarm when ho spoke of tho warrant. Before anything further could be said, Mrs. Bartlett came In, and Kitty was absorbed in her book. "Won't you have something to eat now before you go back?" "Oh, no, thank you, Mrs. Bartlett. You see, the professor is waiting for me." "Let him wait, if he didn't have sense enough to come." "He didn't. I offered him thechanoe." "It won't take us a moment to set the table. It is not the least trouble." "Really, Mrs. Bartlett, you are very kind. 1 am not in the slightest degree .hungry now. I am merely taking some thought of the morrow. No I must be going, and thank you very much." "Well." said Mrs. Bartlett. seeing him

to the door, "''if there's anything you want, come to lue, and will let you have it if it's in the house." "You are too good to me," said tlio young man, with genuine feeling, "and 1 don't deserve it but I may remind you of your promise—to-r*-rn'.w," "See that you do," she answered. "Good night."

Yates waited at the gate, placing tho loaf on the post, where he forgot it, much to the astonishment of the donor in the morning. He did not have to wait long, for Kitty caino around the house somewhat shrinkingly, as one who was doing the most wicked thing that had been done since the world began. Ynies hastened to meet her, clasping one of her unresisting hands in his. "I must be off to-morrow," he began. "I am very sorry," answered Kitty, in a whisper. "Ah. Kitty, you are not half so sorry as I am. But. 1 intend to come back, if you will let me. Kitty, you remember that talk we had In the kitchen when we—when there was an interruption, and when I had to go away with our friend Stoliker?"

Kilty indicated that she remembered it. "Well, of course you know what I wanted to say to you. Of course you know what 1 want to say to you no*v."

It seemed, however, that ill this he was mistaken, for Kitty had not the slightest idea, and wanted to go into the house, for it was late, and her mother would miss her. "Kitty, you darling little humbug, you know that I love you. You must know that I have loved you ever since the first day I saw you, when you laughed at me. Kitty, I want you to marry me and make something of me, if that is possible. I am a worthless fellow, not half good enough for a little pot like you, but, Kitty, if you will pnly say yes I will try, and try hard, to be abetter man than I have ever been before."

Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Oruiihlc, Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the best remedy in existence for the iiux. His experience is well worth remembering, lie says: "Last summer Iliad a very severe attack of llux. 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. 1 continued to use the medicine and was entirely cured. 1 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." 35 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & liooe, 111 N.

Of Interest to Mothern.

The success of Mrs. Annie M. lieam 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 ilood, on account of my husband being employed there. We had several children with us, two of whom took diarrhoea very bad. 1 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." 35 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & liooe, 111 N.

Only two ways to run a business—a right and a wrong wny—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.

But "hay making" time is passed— now is Clearing Out time—and for the balance of the season 15 per cent, 20 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.
