Alfred II. Miled, in Coldea Day. s "-.c Outside was howling1 windstorm, and the blinding drifting snow; Inside was warmth and laughter, while the firelight's ruddy glow Drove .shadows from the corners in a merry, fitful ehn.se, Touehed with brightness all the .faces gathered round theehiinney place; Rut most lovingly it lingered on a quaint old instrument Just a worn old violin 'twas, with a. case all warped and bent Rut grandmother touched it gently as she looked across the snow. "Twas last played in such a storm, clears, just two hundred years ago. Then we tat there in the firelight, storm without and warmth within. And listened to thr strange old story of Faith Bradford's violin. In the days when sturdy Puritan-, Strong of heart and stern of will, Made their homes in bleak New lingland, toiling on through good and ill, Jauie one Capt Ilradford. sailing from the land across the sea, Rringing with him his one treasure a wee maiden just turned three. l$rav and sturdy watt the captain, heeding neither want nor cold; Foremost in each expedition when; was need of leader bold; And his roughlj1-fashioned dwelling, strong without and plain within, Had no sign of wealth or beauty save a quaint old violin. Naught of music knew the captain never had he drawn the how Hut hss brother oft had played it in .1.. . 1.11. 11 i. . u:eir ewuiuiuuu ii'ii-j uj-u. In the old colonial village, swiftly passed the years away; Each one saw thecnptaln feebler, each one saw his hair more gray. 'Though they left so many traces on Ills weather-beaten face, Lightly passed thej o'er his daughter. each one adding some new grace. Gentle was she like the May llower hiding 'neath its leaves of green, , Rut in ail the little village was no fairer maiden seen. "Well she kept her father's dwelling, deftly could she sew and spin, Rut so happy was shu never, as with that old violin. No one taught her how to use it; she but echoed what she heard, Whispering wind and laughing brooklet, hum of insect, song of bird; And the stern old captain, listening, shook in doubt his grizzled head; Then: "I see uo mischief in iL Let the maiden ptay," he said. Meantime- had a stealthy rumor crept around from ear to ear: "Who hud taughtFaith Ilradford music? There is something strange, wo fear!" Ever louder grew the whisper, strange looks met her often now Looks that made her (why, site knew not) flush all over checks and brow. One day came the stern-browed elder, long lite captain talked with him; When he went to call his daughter his sharp eyes were strangely dun. 3uiekly Faith obeyed thu Munitions, reverent stood before the guest. Waiting with u gentle courtesy that she might hear his behest. "Daughter," said the elder, gravely, "I have heard strange tales of thee And the instrument thou ptuyest Are these sayings true? Tell me." And Faith answered: "Of these sayings, truly I have naught to tell, Have, perchance, the one confession, that 1 like the music well. Nuue hath taught me, and my art is very simple and unskilled, But it Is a pleasure to rr.c, -Alien each duty in fulfilled." ßtill more gravely said the elder: "Thou art young and dost not know AH the ways the evil Tempter drawctk mortals hero below.

Aud just that which seemeth dearest, bccuicth hardest to give up, Is thumcrltlco thafucalled for. Danghter, wilt thou drink this cup'.'" Slowly answered Faith: "Thou know est I am willing to obey, Yet, so feeble is my vision, is it sure this Is the way? How can lie who sent the west wind, 11 who taught the birds to sing, Say, whenever mortals touch it, music is a wicked thing?" And rebuking said the elder: "Foolish aro thy words and wrong. TI10 little, birds do weli to praise Him with their voices and their song, Hut these instruments are carnal. Thou dost speak beyond thy ken. Woman knoweth naught of reason. That gift is bestowed on men. Tho Hook sayetli that every woman bhould look well to household ways; Should be humble and submissive, and should raise Jier voice- in praise. 'Tis a maiden's task, my child, to diligently sew and spin. Tis immiiidvnly and sinful, if site play the violin." He ceased speaking, and Faith stood there, eyes cast down and cheeks aglow; Then, with loving touch she laid her hanti on violin aud bow, saying simply; "1 obey thee. If I use them from this day, Thou with justice shall rebuke me. and remove them faraway." Then tho elder rose and left her, well pleased with the duty done: And Faith watched him down the valley radiant with the setting sun. She made uo compluiut or imu.uur; she had sinned, she must atone; Hut the day seemed dark and cheerless, all the light and music gone. Summer vanished. Quickly faded all the autumn's fleeting gold, And the winter, long and dreary, came with hitter . storm and cold. All the day had it been snowing, and when early twilight fell! Scarco a trace could bo discovered of the roads once known so well. And good Capt Rradford, standing in his fire's ruddy ligdit, Said: "God pity any traveler who is out on such a night'." Hark! n sound of muilled footsteps, and a knock upon the door, Then the voice of the old elder: "Open, captain, 1 implore!" Quick Faith rose then, from her spinning1, and tho door was opened wide, And the elder, weak, half-frozen, came with feeble steps inside. "Nay," he said, "I must not tarry; I can but few momen s stay, Tor old Goodman Dale is dying, and he dwells a mile away. ' "Hut," said Capt Bradford, gravely, "hast thou counted well the cost? Ruried now are all the landmarks, aud 'tis death if thou ait lost" And the bravo old elder answered, while his face shone, with .strange light: 'In His hands all living things are; what Hesendcth will be right" Then returned the captain, proudly: "Ne'er shall it be said of mo That I shrank from any danger, Goest then; I go with thee." All the time had Faith been standing, though unnoticed, white with fear. Now she started to detain them, when she plainly seemed to hear: "Just the thing which sccmeth dearest, scetneth hardest to give up, Is the .sacrifice that's called for. Daughter, wilt thou drink this cup?" And she checked tho words unspoken, and spoke words of quiet cheer. And she watched them till they vanished in tho storm and darkness drear. iJoy.ly, slowly dragged tho hours. She could only wait and pray. Two had passed now three. Kind Heaven! They had turdy lott (heir

tay! Ohl what could she do to save thera. she a girl on such a night, Whose cold would freeze the strongest traveler, snow conceal the brightest light? Suddenly a thought came to her was it answer to her prayer? 'Twas "unmaidenly and sinful;" and her promise would she daro? Hut her father and the elder! Aye, to save them she would sin! And with eager, trembling lingers she took down her violin. Then she cast her cloak about her and wide open threw the door; She trembled with strange-gladness, just to hold the Ikiw onee more. And once she softly whispered: "Help me;" and twice, and yet ngain, And therewith piercing sweetness, rang out tho ilrst wild strain. Fiercely cold the north wind stung her, hut she stood there undismayed. Louder, stronger, rang- the music, and: "O help them, Lord," she prayed. On tho borders of the forest did the two Jost travelers stund. They saw but death before them, only death on cither hand. Freezing wrapped the north wiud round

them, pathless snow conoealtd their way. "Now If God cloth not send us rescue, we must perish soon," said they. And tho elder prayed (while near hfm stood the captain, reverent, still): 'Oh! soon gitidij us home in safety, mighty Hod, If 'tis Thy will." Then hweetly, clearly through the, forest, stole a strain of music rare, And faintly distant was it echoed in thu woodland bleak and bare. And the elder, praying, heard it. and ho said with quickened breath: "Doth the Evil One entice us, or Is it, is it death?" Then spoke brave Capt Ilradford, as lie reverent bared his head: "Thank God we are saved, for 'tis my daughter, Faith," he said. "Of a truth, while we were thinking wo had still afar to go, Wo had almost reached the village, but were blinded by the snow." Eagerly led by the music, they then stumbled on once more, Till ut last, through tho thick snowflakes, streamed a light from open door. Why so sudden stopped thomnsic? Why did cry of anguish ring? Ah, for life she had been playing, and she'd broken the last string; Helpless sank she in the doorway, and her sad lips moved in prayer. Hark! was that a shout that reached her, piercing through the snowiilled air? Yes, another, and another! And dim figures soon were seen, Looking like strange phantom warriors with the blinding storm between. Then rose Faith with heart of gladness, and set forth her simple store, Murmuring softly: "God is great; so shall I trust Him evermore." Soon they entered numb, half-fainting, frozen snow in beard and hair, Hut the gentle Faith revived them, ministering with tendcrest care. Then tho elder, looking upward, saw, Faith standing at his side. In her hands tho violin, and on her cheeks tear. not yet dried;

THE TREASURY DEFICIT. rtctlit auel Kopuhllcaii KxtravafaBM the Cause.

Tho deficit now existing in tho United States treasury Is tho direct result of republican legislation and republican administration, not of one republican administration, but as tho legitimate result of tho application of falso economic theories applied year after year in iore and more extreme form nnd of false ideas of the purpose and oOlco of government. Hut even yet protection and paternalism has not borne its worst fruits. About two more republican administrations, without a democratic interval for repairs and reform, would have been required to undermine and destroy all the principles upon which tho government of this republic was originally founded, and to lanltrcpt the nation aud bring about revolution. Thu ways and means committee of the house of representatives is supposed to frame laws and devise methods for raising revenue to defray the public expenses of the nation, anil the appropriations committee supervises tho national expenditures, and both committees are supposed to givo careful attention to tho necessities of tho government aud to conform tho revenues aud tho appropriations thereto; hut in tho last republican congress tho needs of the government did not enter into tho calculations or control tho legislation planned and directed by either committee. Tho ways and means committee, presided over by Mr. McKinley, framed a bill bearing tho name of its chairman, which was cunningly devised to operate in restraint of trade by prohibiting, so far as possible, all foreign importations, und securing the control of American markets to domestic trusts and monopolies organized to force down tho prices of tho fanner's raw; products in his hands, ami increase tho prices of food products to the consumer, and rob and tux for their own private gains the masses of the people upon all articles of manufacture which by aid of a prohibitive tariff tiieso trusts were enabled absolutely to control. The first step in the development of the protective, or trade prohibitive, idea was based upon the constitutional right of the government to levy a tariff for revenues. If such a tariff afforded incidental protection to homo manu facturers it could not bo successfully attatked as unconstitutional, because its chief object was to raise revenue for the support of tho government Hut gradually the trade monopolists grew bolder, and their political tools advanced and extended the doctrine of protection, pure aud simple, intrenching it behind the revenue idea, but applying it in a manner to work restraint of trade and foster monopoly. Every "protected" industry demanded more, and so long as any importations what ever were possible under any tariff schedule, this fact was urged r..i a reason for increasing tho tariff tax to a rate which should work absolute prohibition of imports. And n.s, under this doctrine, all articles which could not bo grown or manufactured in thi3 coun try were placed on tho free list and not taxed at all, the ten. 'ency was constantly to decrease tho amount of revenue while increasing tho t-ibuto that the people were compelled to pay to prt vato monopolies for all necessaries of life except thesu not produced at home in sufficient quantities; and even upon sugar, though freed from turhV taxation, they wcro compelled to pay a tax in the form of a bounty to the home producer. Tho crowning infamy in the development of this system was the Melvhucy bill, which, coupled with the extravagant appropriation.! of the Heed congress, is directly r.spousiblo for tho present dangerous condition of tho United Statcä treasury. Tho McKinley bill is framed to prevent the accumulation of revenue, by prohibiting importations, and thus to work restraint of trade. The people will remember that it is tho McKinley law, now in force, which fails by ten million dollars every month to provide tho treasury with sufilcient means to meet tho obligations that were created at the same time by a republican congress; while tho people, because of this samo McKinley law, are forced to p?.y millions into the coffers of trusts and monopolies, which sums, if paid into tho national treasury' instead, would till it constantly to overflowing and soon extinguish tho national debt At the common law, a contract in restraint of trade is void, as being agaiust public policy and welfare; but republican legislation has legalised and encouraged restraint of trade to tho Injury of tho public welfare. It is iliirt condition of things, made almost impregnable by long kucccss, with which the present democratic administration has to deal. It requires courage and hard lighting to bring about reform, and it demands tho exercise of patience on tho part of tho people. Great reforms aro accomplished gradually, and so it will be with tariff reform. We must patiently but persistently and steadily undo tho wrouga that havo been done to the people, in the name of r.peclous, but falso and vicious principles and doctrines. Kansas City Times. Otis of the Dellclt. Republican tariff legislation injured trade and reduced revenues. Republican cxtravagnnco wiped out the surplus and substituted a deficit, llepublican bullion buyi:.g tnado the mass of idle bullion a menace to the silver market und to the stability of tho currency, lletico tho panic. Secretary Carlisle tells the sonata committee on lluanco what tho republican panic has done for the treasury. Expenditures go on under republican laws, and revenues fall off as a consequence of other republican laws. Reed und McKinley tried to mako tariff reform an impossibility. They did not succeed, but they havo mado a mess of tho fiscal nffalra of the government St Louis Republic Secretary Carlisle, finding that congress is not disposed to help him in maintaining the necessary gold reserve, has concluded to help himself. This is Tcryeano and B.ttlsfaotory determination, Philadelphia Record.

WHAT IT MEANS.

LegUlatlon 1 JUMtloa. The days of taxed sugar and a sub sidized sugar trust aro numbered. The day of uii untaxed breakfast table for tho poor man is at hand. Though tho republican and assistant republican obstructionists havo man aged to involve the housa in an un seemly tangle, there is no obscurity in the measure which was passed tho oth er day in committco of the whole by a vote of 101 to as. The bounty is abol ished outright, and all sugar, raw and refined, is to be free. Such Is the measure which a democratic congress will undoubtedly givo to the country. How could a democratic congress do less? In a democratic tariff formed on tho theory that all tariff-s uro evil, there is no place for a tax on an article! which appears first in tho list of plain necessities of every household. In a scheme for the honest and economical administration of government there is no money to bo taken from a depleted treasury to enrich a lobber trust to burden tho poor with an insidious and widely disseminated tax in the interest of a coterie of millionaires that is McKinleyism; it has no place in democratic legislation. The sacrifice of (revcnuo due to tho abandonment 0? tho tax on- sugar will be very large, "but from its total aro to bo subtracted the millions heretofore paid in bounties. Tho difference will still bo large, but Wcro it fourfold what it is the necessity for the repeal would be no less urgent Indeed, the virtue of tho new legislation is proved by the diameter of thoso who oppose it It is tho plutocracy of both parties that recoils from tho proposition to lift this burden from the common people, because at length th6 plutocrats, democratic as w'cÜ as republican, realize that the deficit thus .created must be made good by .a tax upon their owd superfluities. Free sugar is hateful tc tho heartless and unpatriotic rich bo cause it means taxed incomes. It means the unmasking of hidden wealth which ha& never paid its own share to taxation, but compelled poverty to bear the unequal burden. No man whose income is not far in excess of four thousand dollars will feel a feather's weight of tho new burden. How many wage earners of America derive that sum trom their labors? How many merchants, how many professional men? Count them and you will have tho number of those whoso taxe the poor man has been paying, but will shortly pay no more. Chicago Times. THE PENSION FRAUDS. An iBDTltablo Outcome of Ilulnoua II. publican Mctlmili. Following close upon the discovery of extensive pension frauds in West Virginia, Iowa. Nebraska and Baltimore comes the announcement that a single Ruffalo pension agent has fraudulently secured for pensioners at least one million dollars and that "this is only tho beginning of the unearthing of the most gigantic frauds ever perpetrated in tho pension department" These frauds aro tho natural, legitimate, inevitable outcome of the Tan-ner-Haum methods of "busting the surplus." Tho profligacy of congress in the matter of pension legislation has almost justified pension agents and others in holding that any scheme for looting the treasury is justifiable pro vided it is in the name of the "old sol dic,r;" and successive pension commissioners have winked at "rulings" that have mado petty retail frauds seem almost respectable by comparison. Commissioner Lochrcn will deserre well of his country if he will not only stop tho wholesale frauds perpetrate d through "rulings," but check the minor but still monstrous frauds that aro tno work of dishonest agents and perjured pension-grabbers. No ono desires to deprive the deserving veteran, disabled hi tho line of duty, of his country's bounty. Hut tho bounty-jumpers, deserters, cheats and frauds must be stricken from the roll as fast as discovered. Only in this way can tho pension roll be maintained as "a roll of honor." N. Y. World.

FASHION LETTER.

4 aaaaoH of tirrat ActiTlty hi the Vahlfte World Novelty, Variety muii Originality! New and TcapUnf HprlHg- f abriet. Special New York Correapondence.1 The opening season gives promise ofj being ono of great activity, merciless) In its demands for novelty, great varies-) ty and originality. Already the ehopa! aro overflowing with new tempting spring fabrics, and women aro clamoring to know just exactly how thing are going to be made for spring. Of course, tho first gowns thought! about are tho tweeds, cliaviots and final woolens, embracing the handsome earael'a hair fabrics and English serges,; which coino this year much lighter in! weight, but softar and even raoro beautiful in quality and coloring than those imported for costumes and coats lastj year. Tho novelty in some of tho richi silk and wool mixtures is dciacdly mj tho weave, and, their coloring, influenced by Louis XV. ideas, is moro deli-1 cateand less pronounced, nnd in many cases moro try'ng than that of tho fab .' rica of last spring. Many of these gitmuif aro designed for the Lenten flitting of the tired out buds and bells to recuperate from the season's fatigue in southern orange proves or in sunny France These costumes are plain in effect, and btill rather masculine in finish. A tailor gown of rbugh -surfaced cloth interwoven with every shade of tart color, and with here and thero a su gestion of red and powder blue, is made with the usual circular skirt, machinestitched at the hem, with a coat, en suite, that is cut away in front, over a double-breasted vest of pale antelope colored cloth and braided with cashmere braid, whose colors repeat those of tho dress fabrics. At the left side of tho skirt it is sloshed, with an inserted piece of braided cloth matching the vest, and tho cape collar and close portions of tho puffed.slecves. are of the same. The still-favored umbrella skirt has in some models five, and in others seven gores, and is made with a slight train for the houso which, however, is easily shortened. Tho front aud bide gore are very narrow, hut flaro very much from the kneo down, and the organplaited back is so deeply laid that the plaitings nearly conceal tho side seams. Tho lower portion has a canvas lutr lining, more to hold tho outside trimmings than to stiffen the bkirt The use of a foundation skirt is optional. The skirt is extremely graceful in effect when not carried to excess, and U makes up handsomely in cloth, vicuna, repped wool, camel's hair, sacking and serge. The conventional costume for spring, for morning wear and shopping is frequently made of English melton quite similar to the fabrics used for racn'a business suits. Rough homespuns and tweeds, sprinkled over with dashes of light color, receive a distinct impress of btyle by means of accessories of cloth matching one of the conspicuous colors in the fabric. Accordion plaited skirts, tunics, sleeve puffs, blouso fronts, etc, will bo much favored again this spring. Handsome gowns shown among new French creations havo accordionphiited skirts of new soft corded ottoman's silks strewn with gold or red Batin. Tho wide wale cheviots aro the, rough-looking black wools so much used bv Paris dressmakers uuder tho

name of Vigones. Six yards of this wide material make a stylish gown. A handsome .shade of Venetian brown of a ruddy tinge appears among somu of the handsomest fabrics of tho season. It Is made great use of by ladles' tailors for elegant dresses of bengullne, velours anil velvet-striped cloth. Nearly all the new "dress" costumes of velvet aud cloth are accompanied by a velvet capo to match or else a eloth capo with deep cr.llaroite of velvet Tan and russet skirts will be worn under long overdresses nnd French redingotcs of various rich spring fabrics. Waistcoats, rcvors and capo collars to match are added. The princess walking coat without the arching hip scam will bo a , favorite model for youthful wearers. Cords, pipings, milliners' folds, and rows of gimp or velvet ribbon aro usctl by fashionable modistes for skirt and bodico trimmings.
