KKIVHI.ICANS. beware of the song of the Democratic siren when accompanied with money to induce you to change your residence.

I McKinleyisui is dead, what does that great McKinley meeting in New Orleans mean? It has mighty few of the features of a funeral about it.

THK election is only a little over a week away. Every Kepublican in the county should constitute himself a committee of one to see that his neighbor Republican is at the polls early on the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 0.

THK New Orleans Picayune, a Democratic paper, says that the McKinlev meeting at that city was the greatest political event that ever took place in Louisiana. McKinleyisui doesn't look like a "dead corpse" even in Louisiana.

THKY are "saying harsh things in Kansas about Governor Lewelling. The Lamed F.otjU: Optic, for instance, remarks that Kansas horses are cheap, •"because street cars are run by electricity, threshing machines bv steam, and the State by a donkey."

Tin: New Orleans papers put the crowd that greeted McKinley at 13,000. The speaker stood on a raised platform in the middle of the building, so that all could hear. The reception of the speaker was quite as war like as that given to Gen. Butler in 1S83, and a great deal more pleasant.

THE Amcrimn Ectjnomist has returns from 320 extensive employers of labor, who state that in the first six months of the present year they have employed 2ii,S00 fewer workmen than in the same period of 1892, and that the corresponding reduction in payments for wages was over SS,000,000. The loss throughout the country figured on this basis would be enormous.

THK CINCINNATI EXQUIBEII, of yesterday, in summing up the political situation in Indiana says the present indications are that the Republicans wiil carry eight of the thirteen Congressional districts. That the only districts the Democrats have any hope of carrying are Second, Third, Fourth and Twelfth. It also predicts a sweeping Kepublican victory, unless the political situation changes radically within the next twelve davs.

.IrnoE ROUKIIT B. SPII.MAN, an erstwhile citizen of Crawfordsville, and now an eminent judge of a circuit court in Kansas, recently read a most ntere»ting essay before the Bar Association of Kansas, on the subject of our naturalization laws. It is published in full in the report of the proceedings of the association, and shows its author to be worthy of a place among the distinguished sons and daughters of our noted little city.

ii. BjiooKsniKK voted to tax sugar .40 per cent, and on the same day voted to put it on the free list. So far as his speeches are concerned, you cannot find out just which one of these votes V.Npresses his real sentiments. But, it is the rule in construing wills, where there are conflicting provisions that the last expression governs. Applying this principle of interpretation to Mr. Iirookshirc's votes, he is, like the Republican part}', in favor of free sugar.

But. inasmuch as there is some doubt about his position we suggest to those Democrats who want free sugar that they had better vote for Faris, about whose position there is no doubt.

A DKMOCKATIC editor out in Oregon, after selling out his paper to a Republican rival, breathed a parting sigh as In- said:

Our plant has been sold to a hated rival and a putrid reminiscence of Republicanism across the river and the faithful old type that have whooped it up so long for fat old Grover, the stuffed prophet and uncrowned king of the true Democracy, will hereafter do degraded service in expounding the pernicious but profitable theories of protection to the political sinners of the Evergreen State. We wanted a Democratic government and we got it. After nineteen months' experience with Grover and Billy Wilson's Congress we are willing to let go and give the Republicans a chance. We are no hog.

TIIK Canadian government has taken the advantage so freely given by the Democrats, and decided that lumber firms engaged in towing logs from Canada must pay a duty of twenty per cent, ad valorem on all their boom sticks entering Canadian ports, and must pay it every time they enter. This practically amounts to confiscation. The object is to have the sawing all done in Canadian mills, thus befitting Canadian industries and workingmen. Of course there is no fault to be found with the Canadian government for its protective policy. The blunder was in our own Congress, in enacting a law which gave the opportunity for this discrimination against a great American industry.

THE LITTLE BROWN DOQ.

Early and Into you watch and wait. Little brown dog at the door. For a quick footfall and a boyish call,

For your master to romo onco moro. linger to follow, through Hold and hollow. WTierovcr his feet mny roam.

Content to stray. If ho leads the way, Wherever ho Is, is homo. Hut you never hoar the whistle clear.

Nor tho sound of the boyish call. Nor the scamper of feet all bare and fleet Down through the shadowy hall

Though long you wait at door and gate For your play-fcllow of old. With his eyes so blue and his heart so true, And his hair like tho sunshine's gold.

Tls a year and a day since ho went away To a country boyond our kon. And those who go that way, we know,

Never come back again. Still early and late you watch and wait, Little brown dog at the door,

But the voice is still, and watch as you will. Your master comes no more. —Dorothy Deane, in Youth's Companion.

A PKOSELYTE.

A Well-Taught Lesson He Never Expected to Learn.

Mr. Aubrey Everdeno looked out upon Sackville street and yawned. Only an instant before he had written "finis" to an article with a dash of tho pen across the last sheet, and now the MS. lay ready for the post among the debris of printer's proofs, new novels awaiting review, etc., with which the writing table was strewn.

One of the best-known literuteurs in London, and a brilliant conversationalist. his tongue could be as scathing as his pen, and it was said of him, with regard to the latter weapon of warfare, that in half a dozen polished sentences he could do more towards damning a book than any two of his compeers. A big, loosely-made man, Mr. Everdene, with shrewd gray eyes and the pessimism of a modern. Studying his face as he lounged by the window, his hands in the pockets of his smoking jacket, one could see that he had a lively sense of humor combined with his other characteristics and understood the interest his personality aroused.

Presently a servant brought him a risiting card on a salver. "The lady would be obliged if you would grant her an interview, sir." "Lady lliiyard," muttered Everdene, reading the inscription. "I can't recall the name. Bother the woman, what does she want? However—ask her to come up, Blake."

When she entered, a fair, elegant woman of perhaps five-and-twenty, in an irreproachable Parisior. toilet, he was still more convinced that he had not the privilege of her acquaintance. "Mr. Aubrey Everdene?" she queried.

Mr. Everdene bowed. "Pray take a seat, madam." "No," she said. "I have come to quarrel with you, and I don't sit down in the houses of my enemies!" "To quarrel with me!" Ilis eye brows went up. The thought came to him that his visitor was not in her right mind. "Yes. Perhaps I had better explain myself at once. I am the author of 'Fashion and Footlights!'"

Mr. Everdene, standing perforce because she would, pulled his mustache, while the fair stranger tapped her No. 3 shoe on the carpet with impatience, and looked pitchforks and daggers. 'Fashion and Footlights,' he reflected aloud. 'Fashion and Footlights.' Fla!"

Comprehension stole over his face, and with it a slight amusement. He fished among a pile of volumes and brought out three bound with an elegance destined to win the hearts of suburban circulating libraries. "Here it is. I reviewed it in the Centurion, didn't I?" "No," she said, "you hanged and quartered itl" "I am sorry! May I ask how you found out that I was the culprit?" "Oh, by accident. It's a long story, and unimportant, since you don't deny the imputation. Now, Mr. Everdene, I know it is very impertinent of me, a stranger, to come to your private address and worry you. I am doing a very unusual thing, I am afraid, and Mrs. Grundy would be horrified. But 'fools rush in,' you know, and widows are privileged! You must have a little patience with me, because—" for the first time her lips relaxed, and she smiled a smile that was sweetness itself—"well, Just because I'm a woman and you're a gentleman! Acknowledge the truth, now, on your honor. Don't you think you were unnecessarily harsh to my poor little literary effort?" "No," he Baid, bluntly. "I always give my true opinion of things, and I consider your book had many faults."

If she had been a man hewouldjiave said: "I thought It was excessively bad," with the brusqueness of conviotion, and probably declined to discuss the matter. But to a lady it was impossible to be rude. He regarded her absurdly unconventional presence with a tolerant kindliness. "Of course, I admit that there are faults, but upon one or two points In your criticism, I cannot agree with you. I should very much like to discuss them with you. May I?" "Certainly." His mouth wastwitching under his heavy mustache. "But don't you think, pending the verdiot. that you had better sit down? You will be fatigued. If you'll permit me to wheel this armchair nearer the fire for you—so!"

Having carefully arranged it so that she should face the lignt, he seated himself opposite to her—the A. B. C. of diplomacy, but she did not appear to notice it. She was drawing arabesques on the carpet with the point of her ivory-handled umbrella. "I should very tnucH like to know," she said, "what you think of me for coming here!" "I think you are plucky—yes, and recklessly unconventional." "Candid, at any rate! And I like that." She looked up. "Now for the first indictment on the list, Mr. Everdene! You aocuse me of improbability. I deny It"

His manner bordered upon pre-occu-pation. In trytb be was thinking what wonderful Uptas she had, and how becoming a flush of exoitement could be to a clear) pale Skin. "You assert." she Oontluned warmly, "that It Is ridiculous to Buppose that a man and woman of the world could fall in love at first sight, as I make my hero and heorine do, and that such proceedings are limited to boys and girls in their teens, and the pages of penny fiction. I should have thought that Mr. Aubrey Everdenf

would have shown wider sympathies." "Then you really believe. Lady Ililyard, that adult, sensible people do conceive such abrupt attachments?" "I am convinced that it happens frequently." "Oh, come, not frequently?" "Well—sometimes," she amended. "I could give you a dozen instances.'1

He lacked the heart to argue with her. It would have been like breaking a butterfly on a wheel. And after all there might be more sentiment in fin-de siecle humanity than he thought women have wonderful intuition in these matters. "Well, suppose we let that slide for tho moment and proceed to indictment number two. What other phrase of mine do you take exception to?" "You said that I had not tho remotest idea of construction, and that 'Fashion and Footlights' was evidently a specimen of that objectionable class of fiction which you regretted to see was growing so prevalent—the amateur novel, born of vanity and a lack of wholesome occupation."

Her voice died away with a tremor. He had only stated the truth, but the fact did not prevent the speeohlcss Mr. Everdene from feeling as if he had committed a particularly brutal murder and the ghost of the victim had como to arraign him before all the people whose opinions he valued most. "I—I cried," she murmured, pathetically. fler lips quivered. Beads of perspiration rose to the man's forehead. "Good heavens, if 1 had only guessed how much I should hurt you! It was harsh, monstrous. No doubt I was in a bad temper, and your unfortunate book was the first thing that afforded me an opportunity to vent my spleen."

Lady Hilyard applied six square inches of cambric and lace to the corner of an eyelid. "If you'll only believe m", my dear Lady Hilyard, when I tell you that I'm sorrier than I can say." "Then you acknowledge" that you were needlessly cruel?" "I was brutal." lie would have committed blacker perjury as she wiped that tear,a way. "And that I had just cause for indignation?" "You were perfectly right."

A smile broke like April sunshine over her face. "In that case I suppose I must forgive you."

He was ridiculously grateful. lie heaved a sigh of relief and hesitated with his hand on the button of the electric bell. "Lady Hilyard, you know the Arab custom of taking salt with one's friends? As a token of good-will, permit me to give you the prosaic English equivalent of a cup of tea."

The offer was tempting, the weather was hot and she had talked a great deai She yielded. When the refreshment came, accompanied by wonderful sweetmeats from Bond street round the corner, she asked permission to pour it out for him, with a winning graclousness which charmed him. It afforded him an odd sense of pleasure, too, to see her white fingers moving about the china. He was unaccustomed to the presence of women in his home.

With the Japanese table between them they chatted for awhile, and then the clock on the mantelpiece struok six. She rose with a pretty gesture of dismay, like second Cinderella. "Do you know, Mr. Everdene, that I have been here a whole hour wasting your valuable time?" "1 thought it had been ten minutes," he answered, "and the pleasantest of my life." "Very prettyl" she said, blushing faintly. "And, in return for it, let me tell you that my address is on my card and that my 'day' is Thursday. Also, I must thank you very heartily for your kindness and courtesy to an impi»rtinent intruder. Very few men would have been so considerate." "Please don't thank me it is I who owe you a debt of gratitude. You have taught me something I never expected to learn." "What?" "That the conduct of your hero and heroine was not improbable at all."

Their eyes met the woman's drooped, self-conscious, pleased. "You really mean that?" "On my soul I do."

The most delicious softness waB in her voice: "It makes me so proud and happy to think I have convinced you."

There was a silence. She smoothed a wrinkle in her suede glove. He twisted a buttoii on his coat. Then sJie aroused herself with a little laugh and extended her hand. "Well, good-by, Mr. Everdene, and, once m5re, thank you."

He pressed her fingers ever so lightly —her proselyte. "Not'good-by,"' he murmured. "Au revoir."—Blaak and White.

An Old Soldier Made Happy.

"During iny term of service in the army I contracted chronic diarrhma," says A. E. Bending, of Halsey, Oregon. "Since then I have used a great amount of medicine, but when I found any that would give me relief they would injure my stomach, until Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrlm-a Remedy was brought to my notice. I used it and will say it is the only remedy that gave me permanent relief and no bad results follow." For sale by Nye & Booe, 111 north Washington street, opposite court house.

I have known of cases of croup where I know the life of a little one was saved by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy." J. J.
