tiered had gone to the stable ana put the horse into the gig; while doing to whittlebone had brought him a letter; Parfrae had then said that he would not go toward Rudmouth as he had intended, that he was unexpectedly summoned to Weatherburv, and meant to call at Mellstock on h'a way thither, that place lying but three or four miles out of his course. He must have come prepared for a journey when he first arrived in the yard, unsuspecting enmity; and he tnust have driven off (though in a ehanged direction) without saying a word to any one on what had occurred between themselves. It would therefore bo useless to call at Fai frae’s house till very late. There was no help for it but to wait till his retprn. though waiting was almost a torture to his restless and self-accusing soul. He walked about the streets and outskirts ol the town, lingering hero and there till he reached the stone bridge of which mention has been made —an accustomed halting-place with him now. Here he spent a long time, the purl of waters through the wears meeting his ear, and the Casterbridge lights glimmering at no great distance off. While leaning thus upon the parapet, his listless attention was awakened by sounds of an unaccustomed kind from the town quarter. Thev were a confusion of ■ rhythmical noises, to which the streets added yet more confusion by encumbering them with echoes. His first incurious thought that the clangor arose from the town band, engaged in an attempt to round off a memorable day by a burst of evening harmony, was contradicted by certain peculiarities of reverberation. But inexplicability did not rouse him to more than a cursory heedfulness; his sense of degradation was too strong for the admission of foreign ideas; and he leaned against the parapet as before.

No Cause for Paternal Anxiety, Cb icAo Tribute. “Isabel, ipy child, come here.” There was a world of tenderness in the father’s tone and manner as he caressed the dark-brown wavy hair of the petted daughter whe came in answer to his summons and sat on a low stool at his feet. “You have always found me willing to make any reasonable sacrifice for your comfort and happiness, have you not, my daughter?” “Yes, papa.” . “Your home is not an unhappy one, is it?” “Oh, no." “You would not turn your back upon it unless your calm and deliberate judgment seconded the impulse of your heart, would you, my -child?” “Why, papa, what is—" “Pardon me, dear, but the time has come when I must speak of a matter that concerns me greatly because, it concerns you. I have observed of late a growing inclination on the part of young Mr. Spoonamore to seek your society. Now, while Mr. Spoonamore is a harmless and well-meaning young man, of whom nothing can be said derogatory on the score of personal char act'er, disposition or family connecnection, he is hardly the sort of man I should hardly select as a fitting mate for you, Mabel. He is nol your equal intellectually; you must have discovered that. To encourage him, my child, would be an act ol coquetry to which I hope you could not bring yourself. I think it best to speak of this now because he may presume upon his acquaintance with you to hint at a nearer tie—" “He —he has done so already, papa.” , . “Then my admonition has com* too late?” . , , . “Why—he asked me last night tc marry him.” , “And you, Mabei! exclaimed th( father, with an anxious tremor ie his voice. “Can it be possible that y °“ Don’t be uneasy*, papa,” replied the queenly girl. “I turned him down in great shape.

THE CAMPAIGN. Politics Warms Up. llrpubllmnn of Inilinna Knthmed i • They Nevrp llefore llav«i Hem •' Indlanpolia Journal. People in Indiana usually take their politics pretty hard, and they are taking political affairs more to heart this year than they have at any time since the period jnst before the war. Never in the memory of the present generation has there been anything like the Republican activity displayed this yenr. In every county of the State, not excepting such Democratic Gibraltar's as Allen and Sullivan counties,, the Republicans find numbers of men who are not only willing but anxious to accept Republican nominations, and the general feeling pervades the parly that Indiana’s November election will bo simply a repetition of the landslides in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State committee, has Just completed a tour of the State by districts, meeting in turn the county chairmen and secretaries of each congressional district and talking over with them the question of organization. The party is now very completely organized throughout the State upon what is probably the best system ever devised, It is so complete and compact that the voters of the State are divided up into very small neighborhoods in the country and half squares in the city, with a reliable man whose business it is to look after each of these. The reports gathered from these district meetings are of the most encouraging character. Two thorough trouucings have had the effect of uniting and harmonizing the Republicans of Indiana. while one year of the Cleveland administration has brought to the Republicans accessions that may be fairly estimated at an average of five to the voting precinct. At those district • meetings the time and places of the Congressional conventions were fixed as follows: First district, Evansville. April 19; Second district, Mitchell, April 17; Third, New Albany, June 7; Fourth, Greensburg, date left open; Fifth, Greencastle, May 10; Sixth, Muucie, April 12;-Seventh, Indianapolis, April 24; Eighth,Terre Haute, date left open; Ninth, Kokomo, June 6; Tenth, Hammond, May 24; Eleventh,Hartford City, May 10; Twelfth, Fort Wayne, Juno 28; Thirteenth, Warsaw, June (5. The Republicans feel certain of carrying nine of these districts and believe they have even chances of carrying the other four. Even in the strong Democratic districts, like the Second, Third, Fourth and Twelfth, there are anywhere from two to six candidates hustling for the Republican nomination. The most hotly contested fights for nominations, however, will be_ in the } First, Fifth Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh | and Thirteenth districts. In all these i except the Tenth there are no less than half a dozen strong candidates, and the fact that the Tenth 1ms but ' three is by no means to bo taken as an indication that the contest there is a light one. On the contrary, the sharpest ante-convention fight in the whole State is in that district between Hon. Charles B. Landis and Judge William Johnston, of Valparaiso. The lines have to some extent been drawn there between the young and the older men, and the way the young men of the district are rallying to Mr. Landis’ support is something remarkable. Leading politicians from Logansport, Winamac and other points in the district interviewed here recently express the opinion that the younger element has somewhat the best of it. Carroll county, at its convention last week, instructed for Mr. Landis, and it is said that he has Newton and Jasper solid.

The contest for places on the State ticket is right now at fever heat, as the county convention period is on, and scarcely a day passes that some county does not convene for the purpose of electing delegates. There are thirty-nine candidates for the offices at the disposal of the convention, and nearly half of them turn up at almost every county convention. Never in the history of the party has such an array of strong men come before a convention in Indiana as will be proposed for nominations in this city on April 25. It is a matter of current comment that the convention might go through the whole list, select the weakest men running for each nomination and still have a strong ticket. oThe perigrinations of these candidates for Stateofflces and the activity of those who are hustling for county nominations keep polities in the Republican party at ‘fever heat just now, and the [State committee is takingadvantage of the general activity not only to put together an invincible party organization, but as well to push the organization of Republican clubs. This latter work is well under way,and by the time the State convention rolls around it will

be a mighty small hamlet in Indiana that does not boast of at least one Republican club. Who Can Answer It? Indianapolis Sentinel. It is not often that our neighbor, the Journal, has anything to say in the way of politics that The Sentinel cannot answer, or at least believe it can answer. We therefore print, as an unusual specimen of the character, the following from its issue of yesterday: While half a dozen democratic senators are clamoring for protection to the interests of their constituents, and while the Senate finance committee is trying to decide just how much protection it will give this, that and the other interest, it may be well enough to recall the tariff resolution of the Chicago platform. It says:

“Wo denoupce Republican protection as a fraud, a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. We declare it to bo a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only.” If Republican protection is a fraud and robbery of the great majority of the people for the benefit of the few, what is Democrat protection? How can any Democrat answer that? If our platform means anything, if our repeated declaration 6f principle mean anything what is “Democratic protection” or any other kind of protection but a fraud and a robbery? No man can draw any distinction. No sensible man would attempt to'draw any distinction. Democratic protection would be not only a fraud and a robbery, but it would bo barefaced and shameless, because it is in direct conflict with all Democratic professions. Republicans can make some show of ■ excuse for it because they have j maintained that it was right, but | Democrats can make none whatever, j There is not a Democratic paper in | the country that has not de- I nounced the McKinley bill donation to the sugar trust, and now comes this Senate report with a bonus quite as great in any event, and probably three times as great. There is not a Democratic paper that has not denounced Attor-ney-General Miller’s failure to prosecute the whisky trust, or failed to rebuke the dismissal of the prosecutions instituted against it under Cleveland’s former administration, yet here comes this Senate report with an unheard of, inexcusable, unjustifiable grant of five years’ time to this trust on its taxes. There is not a Democratic newspaper that has not denounced the infamous iron-coal-railroad combine, yet here comes this Senate peport with special, useless, unwarranted donations to this band of thieves. There is not a Democratic paper that has denounced the oppressions of the cigarmakers by the absurd McKinley duty on Sumatra leaf, yet here comes this report with a duty of $1 per pound on Sumatra leaf and an increased internal revenue tax of $3 per thousand. What answer can be made when Republicans point to these violations of our declared principles? How can any Democrat face an audience and say anything about trusts and combines? How can he meet the jibes and jeers that will be hurled at him? How can he talk about the iniquities of Republican legislation with any such open iniquity as this confronting him? If Republicans were dictating this legislation they could not more completely put the Democratic party in the hole than the adoption of this report would. A Belated Discovery. Indianapolis Journal. There are some things which make one very weary, and one of those things which may be said to “tire” the intelligent citizen is the holy horror of New York too-goods and Tammany deserters expressed at the discovery of the ballot box frauds committed by Tammany last fall. A few nights ago Representative Dunphy, who has just thrown off his allegiance to Tammany, but who yet holds his seat by the grace of Boss Croker, related,at a meeting in New York city a few facts regarding Tammany’s frauds last fall. He said: Tammany registered 13,000 men in the second assembly district last year when the district contained only 8,000 legal voters. More than 13,000 men were voted so that the workers might be sure that none would be lost in the final count. Before the election I saw long lines of men waiting to register. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are the tin soldiers,” one of the politicians answered, “who are paid to register.” “How much do they get?” “The price was $1, but there are so many of them now that we get four for a quarter.” On election day I found two polling places where the ballots were prepared and handed out in a hallway, 1 and another where only one booth 1 was in use, and in the back of that

there was a slit in the canvas through which the willinsr votes found a pair of hands protruding which prepared his ballot for him. At another place I saw one man come out of the booth and fall intc line three times and vote each time. “Oh, that’s nothing,” said one of th( watchers, when I spoke of it. “He voted seven or eight times before you came.” Representative Dunphy ta'ked as if this were a new discovery, and yet the same thing, in one form os another, has been going on since 1868, Only in a less degree was the same fraud perpetrated i*i 1892. The Second Assembly District gave Maynard, Dem., 11,016 and Bartlett, Rep., 1,351 in November, 1893, while in 1892 it eave Cleveland 9,130 and Harrison 2,224. There was a total of 11,742 votes polled in the Second District in 1892 by SjflOO voters and 18,928 by the same 8,000 in 1893. In the district, in 1892, the candidates for President other than Mr. Cleveland received 2,370 votes. Deduct these from the 8,000 which is the whole number of voters in the district, and there were 5,024 left tc vote for Mr. Cleveland, supposing that every man voted. These zealous 5,624 Democrats gave Mr. Cleveland 9,130 votes —1,130 more than there were voters in the district, or 3,500 more than 5,024 Dertiocrats having a right to vote for onccandidate in one day. Why did not Mr. Dunphy make this discovery regarding the vote for 1892? Because he and Mr, Cleveland were elected by such frauds. And now the Cleveland organs like the Times and New York Evening Post and the truly good men about the office of Harper’s Weekly listen with seeming astonishment to the story of Representative Dunphy, and exclaim: “My, but how wicked !” And yet just such frauds elected Mr. Cleveland in 1884 and created “the great popular revolt against protection in 1892.” Still, these highly moral journals and those who woi’shiped the Consecrated One with them in 1892 pretend that Dunphy’s discovery was the first hint they had ever had of tins thirty-years’-old ballotbox fraud of Tammany. An Impregnable Organization. Marcus R. Sulzer, president of the State Lincoln League, says that before next October the Republican party will be so compactly organized in this State that it will be wholly impregnable. Since tije annual meeting in February he has spoken in ten cities in the State,and has engagements that will occupy his time all of next month.

If You Burn Yourself. The pain from slight burns is very great. An excellent application is a a thick paste of common baking soda moistened with water, spread on a piece of linen or cotton and bound on the part, writes Elizabeth Robinson Scovil in an article on “What to Do in Emergencies,” in the March Ladies' Home Journal. This can be kept wet by squeezing water on it from a sponge or cloth until the smarting is soothed. A thick coating of starch can be used instead of the soda, or wneat flour if nothing better can be had, but neither should be applied if the skin is broken. In this case it is bettor to use vaseline, olive or linseed oil. The doctor will apply some preparation containiugcarboiicacid. If the air can be effectually excluded from a burn the pain is relieved. Blisters should be pricked and the fluid absorbed with a soft cloth beI fore dressing. If the clothing adheres to the skin I the loose part should be cut away i and the patches of material soaked j off with oil or warm water. When the injury is extensive the sufferer will be prostrated and may die from the shock. Heat should be applied to the extremities and over the heart and hot drinks given until the doctor comes. In burns from strong acids the part should be covered with dry baking soda or lime, as the alkali will neutralize the acid. No water should bo used, but cosmoline or oil applied after the alkali has been brushed off. When the burn has been caused by I alkali an acid must be used. A per* | son recovering from the effects of a | burn requires nourishing food. The Charm that Never Fails. CMcaso EeoorJ. “No, I’m not going to the Midwinter Fair. Too tedious a trip, you know.” “They’ve made a fine exposition of it.” “I know. But it’s too far.” “Plenty of things to inform the mind and elevate the taste.” “Of course. My wife wouldn’t let me go any ” “Noble architecture- — “The journey would kill me ” “And a midway like the one al Jackson Park ” “Eh? What? Perhaps the trip might do me good, after all. And, say, if you're going by the ticket-of-fice just tell’em to reserve a berth on Monday night’s train, will you?’ 1
