FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1804.

KVKKY Republican who desires to lose liis vote will change his residence after next Thursday into another township.

A YKAK ago the sugar purchaser eonld buy pounds of granulated sugar for SI. To-day the buyer can onlv get 17 pounds for his hundred cents, the Indianapolis Sentinel and its imitators to the contrary notwithstanding.

JnGK II01-MAN, Democratic Congressman from the Fourth District, informed the pension officials long ago that if the policy outlined by the Department was carried out, the next Congress would be largely Republican. The officials declined to make the change and the probabilities are that .ludge Holmau's predictions will come true.

SroAR has gone up -5 per cent. The truth of this statement can be verified by asking any grocery keeper in town. The well to do in anticipation of the rise have been laying it in by the barrel while the poor man must buy in small quantities and pay the increased price. This is one of the prices the people are paying for a Democratic victory in 1S92.

THK Republican party hasn'T a single state issue to stand on in this cam-paign.—.-1 rijus News.

The ulta Democratic Indianapolis Sentinel said on March 3. 1893. of the Democratic Legislature:

Before the Legislature adjourns let the majoritj* appoint a committee to make a diagram of the creditable things it has done and an explanation of the objectionable things. It will be needed in the next campaign.

THK New York World, a paper which nobody will doubt as being good Democratic authority, has interviewed the dealers of New York and discovered that sugar has already advanced in price and that free wool cannot have any effect on the prices of clothing for a year to come. As for cigars and tobacco, the World has discovered that the reduction on tobacco is not enough to change the price of cigars. It onlyhelps the dealer, not the consumers, who will continue to pay the same old prices. The World virtually confirms that the Democratic party has hoodooed the peoole.

ATTICA Ledger-. The Democratic congressman who stand for re-election will have a tough time when theirconstituents begin interrogating. AVhat pledges of 1S!I2 have tlie3' redeemed? Where are the good times promised when Democrats should have absolute power in changing laws? Where is the SI..." wheat? What has been done to better any class of citizens, except the whisky trust that was given 810,000,tnto, and the sugar trust that was presented with $30.01)0,000 to be taken from the people's pocket? Mr. Brooksliire and his Democratic colleagues who seek public endorsement this year will have to answer some pertinet questions.

I'l.KADI XG TIIK HAHY ACT." The Aryus News still makes the vain and weak attempt to show that the Republicans and the Gorman combine are responsible for sugar being placed on the dutiable list. Tom Johnson, a Democratic Congressman from Ohio, takes a different view. Just when the House was about to surrender to the Senate he made a powerful arraignment of the Democratic part}-. Among other things he said: "What are we Democrats to say when we render an account of our stewardship? What are we to say when our constituents ask us what we have done? What shall we say if we make this surrender? It is already to be s»r** what a good many gentlemen propose that we shall say. tie arc to plead the lxil/y act. We are to say that the Democratic party,with the three branches of the national government in its control, was really anxious to carry out its pledges, and would certainly have done so, but that it was prevented by four or fiveundermocratic

Senators! A nice story tliix! Jiut wilt uny mie believe it? A nice story this! BUT IT WILL NOT BE TRUE. Mr. Speaker, the responsibility for this mockery of our pledges which this House is now about to endorse cannot he shifted upon a Jew men. The whole I hniuicratic party, in Howe, In Senate and in admini.it'atkm must share it. It is their act. And the Gormon surrender bill is but the logical outcome of the Wilson surrender bill. Administration and House and Senate, our conduct is all of a piece. We have not hoiiestlytiiedto reduce taxes, as we said we would we have not honestly tried to abolish trusts, as we said we would. On the contrary, and from the beginning, we have shown the most tender sollciude for the welfare of trusts and rings, the most stolid disregard of our pledges to the people." And every word uttered by Tom Johnson is true. In defending the bill they are to "plead the baby act," and the Arijus News is pleading it iu a very weak way.

BT B0BEBT BARB ("LORE PUARP.")

Kitty did not say "yes," but she placed her disengaged hand, warm and soft, upon his, and Yates was not the man to have any hesitation about what to do next. To practical people it may seem an astonishing thing that the object of the interview being happily accomplished there should be any need of prolonging It, yet the two lingered there, and ho told her much of his past life, and of how lonely and sordid it had been because ho had no one to care for him—at which her pretty eyes filled with tears. She felt proud and happy to think she liad won the first great love of a talented man's life, and hoped she would make him happy and in a measure atone for the emptiness of the life that had gone before. She prayed that he might always be as fond of her as he was then, and resolved to be worthy of him if she could. Strange to say, her wishes were amply fulfilled, and few wives are as happy or as proud of their husbands as Kitty liartlett that was. The one woman who might have put the drop of bitterness in her cup of life merely kissed her tenderly when Kitty told her of the great joy that had come to her, and said she was sure she would be happy and thus for the second time Margaret told the thing that was not, but for once Margaret was wrong in her fears.

Yates walked to the tent a glorified man, leaving his loaf on the gate post behind him. Few realize that it is quite as pleasant to be loved as to love. The verb "to love" has many conjugations. The earth he trod was like no other ground he had ever walked upon. The magic of the June night was never so enchanting before. He walked with his head and his thoughts in the clouds, and the Providenco that cares for the intoxicated looked ufter him and sawthat the accepted lover came to no harm. lie leaped the fence without even putting his hand to It, and then was brought to earth again by the picture of man sitting with his heai in hands beside a dying fire.

CHAPTER XIV.

Yates stood for a moment regarding the dejected attitude of his friend. "Hello, old man," he cried, "you have the most 'hark-from-the-tombs' appearance I ever saw. What's the matter?"

Renmark looked up. "Oh, it's you, is it?" "Of course it's I. Been expecting anybody else?" "No. I have been waiting for you and thinking of a variety of things.". ou look it. Well, Renny, congratulate me, my boy. She's mine, and I'm hers—which is two ways of stating the same delightful fact.* I'm up in a balloon, Renny. I'm engaged to the prettiest, sweetest and most delightful girl there is from the Atlantic to the Pacific. What d'ye think of that? Say. Renmark, there's nothing on earth like it. You ought to reform and go in for being in love. It would make a man of you. Champagne isn't to be compared to it. Get up here and dance, and don't sit there like a bear nursing a sore paw. Do you comprehend that I am to be married to the darlingest girl that lives?" "God help her!" "That's what I say. Every day of her life, bless her! But I don't say it quite in that -tone, Renmark. What's the matter withyou? One would think you were in love with the girl yourself, if such a thing were possible." "Why is it not possible?" "If that is a conundrum I can answer it the first time. Because you are a fossil. You arc too good, Renny, therefore dull and uninteresting. Now, there is nothing a woman likessomuch as to reclaim a man. It always annoys a woman to know that the man she is interested in has a past with, which she has had nothing to do. If he is wicked and she can sort of make him over, like an old dress, she revels in the process. She flatters herself she makes a new man of him, and thinks she owns that new man by right of manufacture. We owe it to the sex, Renny, to give 'em a chance at reforming us. I have known men who hated tobacco take to smoking merely to give it up joyfully for the sake of the woman they loved. Now, if a man is perfect to begin with, what is a dear ministering angel of a woman to do with him? Manifestly, nothing. The trouble with you, Renny, is that you are too evidently ruled by a good and well trained conscience, and naturally all women you meet intuitively see this and have no use for you. A little wickedness would be the making of you." "Do you think, then, that if a man's impulse is to do what his conscience tells him vrony, he should follow his impulse and not his conscience?" "You state the case with unnecessary seriousness. I thinlc that an occasional blow-out is good for a "man. But if you ever have an impulse of that kind, I think you should give way to it for once, just to sec how it feels. A man who is too good gets conceited about himself." "I half believe you are right, Mr. Yates," said the professor, rising. "I will act on your advice, and, as you put it, sec how it feels. My conscience tells me that I should congratulate you and wish you a long and happy life with the girl you have I won't say chosen, but tossed up for. The natural man in me, on the other hand, urges me to break every bone in your worthless body. Throw off your coat, Yates." "Oh, I say,'Renmark, you're crazy." "Perhaps so. Be all the more on vour guard, if you believe it. A lunatic Is sometimes dangerous." "Oh, go away. You're dreaming.

You're talking in your sleep. What, fight? To-night? Nonsense!" "Do you want me to strike you before you are ready?" "No, Kenny, no. My wants are always modest. I don't wish to fight at all, especially to-night. I'm a reformed man, I tell you. I have no desire to bid good-by to my best girl with a black eye to-morrow." "Then stop talking, if you can, and defend yourself." "It's impossible to fight here in the dark. Don't flatter yourself for a moment that I am afraid. You just spar with yourself and get limbered up while I put Bome wood on the fire. This is too ridiculous."

Yates gathered up some fuel and managed to coax the dying embers into a blaze. "There," he said, "that's better. Now let me have a look at you. In the name of wonder, Benny, what do you want to fight me for, to-night?" "J refuse to uive mv reason."

"Then I refuse to fight. .I'll run, and 1 can boat you in a foot race any day

"I MTST ME OFF TO-MORROW."

in the week. Why, you're worse than her father. He at least let me know why he fought me." "Whose father?" "Kitty's father, of course—my future father-in-law. And that's another ordeal ahead of me. 1 haven't spoken to the old man yet, and I need all my fighting grit for that." "What are you talking about?" "Isn't my language plain? It usually is." "To whom are you engaged? As I understand your talk, it is to Miss Bartlett. Am I right?" "Right as rain, Renny. This fire is dying down again. Say, can't we postpone our fracas until daylight? I don't want to gather any more wood. Besides, one of us is sure tp be knocked into the fire and thus ruin whatever is left of our clothes. What do you say?" "Say? I say I am an idiot." "Hello! reason is returning, Renny. 1 perfectly agree with you." "Thank you. Then you did not propose to Mar—to Miss Howard?" "Now you touch upon a sore spot, Renmark, that I am trying to forget. You rememler the unfortunate toss-up in fact, 1 think you referred to it a moment ago, and you were justly indignant about it at the time. Well, I don't care to talk much about the sequel, but, as you know the beginning, you will have to know the end. because I want to wring a second promise from you. You are ngver to mention this episode of the toss-up or of my confession to any living soul. The telling of it might do harm, and it couldn't possibly do any good. Will you promise?" "Certainly. But do not tell me unless you wish to." "I don't exactly yearn to talk about it, but it is better you should understand how the land lies, so you won't make any mistake. Not on my accoant, you know, but I would not like it to come to Kitty's ears. Yes, I proposed to Margaret—first. She wouldn't look at me. Can you credit that?" "Well, now that you mention it, I—" "Exactly. I see you can credit it. Well, I couldn't at first, but Margaret knows her own mind, there's no question about that. Say! she's in love with some other fellow. I found that much out." "You asked her, I presume." "Well, it's my profession to find things out and. naturally, if I do that for my paper it is not likely I am going to be behindhand When it comes to myself. She denied it at first, but admitted it afterwards, and then bolted." "You must have used great tact and delicacy." "See here, Renmark, I'm not going to stand any of your sneering. told you this was a sore subject with me.

I'm not telling you because I like to but because I have to. Don't put me in fighting humor, r. Renmark. If I talk fight I won't begin for no reason and then back out for no reason. I'll go on." "I'll be discreet, and beg to take back all I said. What else'"' "Nothing else. Isn't that enough? It was more than enough for me—at the time. I tell you, Renmark, I spent a pretty bad half-hour sitting on the fence and thinking about it." "So long as that?"

Yates rose from the fire indignantly. "I take that back, too." cried the professor, hastily. "I didn't mean it." "It strikes me you've become awfully funny all of a sudden. Don't you think it's about time we took to our bunks? It's late."

Renmark agreed with him, but did not turn in. lie walked to the friendly fence, laid his arms along the. top rail, and gazed at the friendly stars. He had not noticed before how lovely the uight was, with its impressive stillness, as if the world had stopped as a steamer stops in mid-ocean. After quieting his troubled spirit in the restful stars, he climbed the fence and walked down the road, taking little heed of the direction. The still night was a soothing companion. He came at last to a sleeping village of wooden houses, and through the center of the town ran a single line of rails, an iron link connecting the unknown hamlet *rith all civilization. A red and a green light giimmered down the lino, giving the only indication that a train ever came that way. As he went a mile or two farther, the cool breath of the great lake made itself felt, and after crossing a field he suddenly came upon the water, finding all farther progress in thnt direction barred. Huge sand dunes formed the shore, covered with sighing pines. At the foot of the dunes stretched a broad beach of firm sand dimly visible in contrast with the darker water, and at long intervals on the sand fell tlio light ripple of the languid summer waves running up the beach with a half-asleep whisper that became softer until it merged in the silence bevond. Far out on the dark waters, a point of light, like a floating star, showed where a steamer was slowly making her way, and so still was the night that he felt, rather than heard, her pulsating engines. It was the only slga of lifa visible from that enchanted bay— the bay of the silver lench.

Renmark throw himself down on the soft sand at the foot of a dune. The point of light gradually worked its way to the west, following, doubtless unconsciously, the star of empire, and disappeared around the headland, taking with it a certain vague sense of companionship. But the world is very small, and a man is never quite as much alone as he thinks ho is. Renmark heard the low hoot of an owl among the trees, which cry he was astonished to hoar answered from the water. Ho sat up and listened. Presently there grated on the sand the keel of a boat and some one stejopod asjioro

From the woods there emerged the shadowy forms of three men. Nothing was said, but they got silently into the boat, which might have been Charon's craft for all he could see of it. The rattle of the rowlocks and the plash of oars followed, while a voice cautioned the rowers to make less noise. It was evident that some belated fugitives were eluding the authorities of both countries. Renmark thought with a smile that if Yates were in his place he would at least give them a fright. A sharp command to an imaginary commany to load and fire would travel far on such a night, and would give the rowers a few moments of great discomfort. Renmark, however, did not shout, but "treated the episode as part of the mystical dream, and lay down on the sand again. He noticed that the water in the east seein«d to feel tlio approach of day even before the sky. Gradually the day dawned, a slowlylightening gray at first, until the coining sun spattered a filmy cloud with gold and crimson. Renmark watched the glory of the sunrise, took one lingering look at the curved beauty of the bay shore, shook the sand from his clothing, and started back for the village and the camp beyond. fro HE CONTINUED]

The success of Mrs. Annie M. Iieam 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. I knew of several other cases where it was equally successful I think it cannot be ex celled and cheerfully recommend it." 25 and r0 cent bottles for sale by Nye fe Booe, 111 N.
