She as only an ordinary woman whose temper was aroused, although not to 'ieh an extent that ahe could entirely rfd the usual chord of pain in her 1 .-l)and's voice. However, she went 1 ut her work, setting down her pretty china with an unnecessary amount ' energy, and Baying to herself: "I think it downright mean in Eugene. I wonder how I shall eTcr endure this long, lonesome winter! No place to go. and no one to see." The matter was not referred to again. B1 there was a cloud between hubard and wife the first since their wedding dar. The third day after the scene at the 'akfart table.

Mrs. lairl I supposed that you were thankful that you and Mr. flair were still liting iu the borderland of bliss that lowers nn.ig.ue will last. There was a moment's silence. Agatha was busy fastening the collar ot her pietty green serge. Outside the

Uwindow, opened to admit the crisp au

The sun, red and angry-lookinp, was just disappearing behind the forestcrowned hills west of Agatha's home when Mrs. Ecris left her at the gate. The wind wailed loudly around the house, and the young wife shivered as she hurritd up the path. "I hope Eugene will have a Are," she said to herself. "He always remembers auch things.

REBUKED HANNAISM. Trn Peaule llrlna ' Dosatsaa saa

Uuudlelsaa. The people of ten states of the union have administered a rebuke and a warning to Hannaism. Hunuaisui stands for republicanism to-lay. It is extremely doubtful whether the warning will be heeded, however much tbe rebuke may sting. The party which was syndicated with the oppressive trusts and monopolies a year ago for the poor reward of the presidency and the ipoils is too strongly bound to its partnership by the cohesive force of .entnilizatioa and corruption to cut loose now and present itelf to the American people as a political organization inspired with high principles of patriotism and controlled by motives that have for their aim the perpetuation uniiniaired of the form of rovernment founded by the

fathers. The poison of centralization was born in the party. It was an inheritance from its progenitor on w hich democracy had been waging war of extermination since Thomas Jefferson pave it t he spirit of conflict. The poison worked slowly at first, and it was not until the protecthe. tariff made possible the accumulation of vast fortunes in the hands of the few that it received an impetus that ser t it coursing through the entire bcUj, of republicanism.

Aa a climax, a new and dangerous political boss in the peron of Hanna was invested w ith absolute command of the organization. He has done only what his commission directed nnd empowered him to do. He has syndicated the whole party in accordance with the principles and tendencies of centralization. Tike all men of his stripe, the first victory he won with the new forces placed at his command blinded him to the rights nnd privilepes of the vanquished foe, and nosemibarbarie Uoman

emperor ever tyramzed over his helpless vietims more than ITacna hn over every man who has had the hardihood to oppose his wish. His course has strengthened the democracy's spirit of resistance. It has Infused new courage- into every demo

cratic heart. Not a genuine democrat In the lar.d but has been aroused to the fighting point by Hanna's tactics. Not an unselfish American, who believes that the only proper function of government is to afford to every one of its citirens erjual opportunity, but has been turned against the republican party by Its shameful liasion w ith the trustsend monopolies. It wasthese thinpsthat defeated the republicans from New York to Colorado and that gave the democrats a sweeping victory in the home town of the man who waxelectcd president through the debauchery of hundreds of thousands of voters with the money contributed by the enemies of froe government nnd clean administration. The election returns are but I prelude. Next year the opponents of Hannaism will rally under the democratic banner and drive from the houe of representatives a majority owing allegiance to nanna. In 1900 the people will come into their estate again. The rejuvenated democracy stands armored and plumed for tbe war. St. Ioui.s lie-public.

Ea-C.ov. Stone, of .Missouri, member of the national i!emo ratic committee, was interviewet ou the results of the recast tleetlona. In reply to the ques

tion: "How do you interpret the results of the elections?" the ex-governor answered : "Well, the democrracy won some notsMs victories Tuesday. Kverywhers the tide was In our favor. I believe a decldl majority of the American peopl are democrats, or it Uast fuvor tbe thlnits that democracy stand for. If the people could go to the polls untrammeled snd vot their real sentiments a liir majority would vote the democratic ticket. The massea are naturally opposed to centralisation In any form, and especially are they opposed to the control of centralised wealth. "But the power of centralised wealth Is very great ; It seems sometimes to be slmost on r.l potent. In presidential elec

tions thli power la exterted to its utmost. It Is arru .1 acatnst the democratic party i . ,i . the . mo ratU' pany Is CM In sympathy with Its selfish policies. If th election had been held In August last year with the conditions as they existed then the democracy would have been successful, for then the natural puMIc sentlmf nt of the country would have found expression. Hut. strange as It may apiear. It la nevertheless true that the money power was able to check sr. l finally overcome tha popular sentiment. How thst was dons Is now quite well understood. "On Tuesday the people spoke as they feel. In IMC the power of money will assert Itself to the utmost again. Whether It will succeed again I cannot say. Every student of our history knows how these, forces have clashed In the past. Jefferson,

Ja i.s .. ur. I other f.rcat democrats were opposed to the same forces that opposed Bryan, and very much in the same way. The conflict to which I refer Is one which has run through the history of many nations. It will be renew, d In the future, both In America and In other countrlea. It Is a struggle between selfishness on the one hand nnd humanity on the other. These are rather harsh words, but 1 believe they are true words. Tuesday" elections show that the Issues of V'Jd are to be retried in 1900. in New York city national Issum were not at stake. The fight tin re was local. But In the several state elections the old national Issues were on trial again. In the liattles fought In Kentucky. Nebraska. Ohio and other states the issues of last year wers again at stake. The democratic party will go forward; It will not recede; it will not temporise. It cannot compromise where principle Is Involved. I am clad of the 1 al victory In New

Tork. 1 favored Van Wy k because he was the party nominee, and 1 am a party man. "1 hear It Is said that the result in New York shows what the democracy can do when It Is united. That Is true. I always rejoice when we are united. I dislike feuda. "B'Jt still there must be no misunderstanding. We shall be united when all democrats get on the party platform and support the party candidate. There can be no minority dictation. If New York shall endeavor to change our purty position on public questions It will fall. New York cannot lead in that direction. The truth 1. New York d. rnocrats must recognixe the fact that hereafter the great states of the west and south will control the policies of the party, and If they expect to be Influential In purty counsels they must get squarely In line with the democracy of states liko Missouri and Illinois. The Importance of the struggle of 1900 cannot be overstated. If the democracy Is 10 win that battle we must get ready to begin now. Organization is the only way to success. If the party is properly organlxed we can win. If we go along In a slipshod fashion we shall lose. The cry from now on until the end of the century should be: 'Organize! Organize'.'

Well l)eerv ed. President McKinley 's bimetallic commissioners have sailed for home, discouraged, defeated, discredited. Kepubliean newspapers rejoice over this defeat. The vanquishing of their own commission gives them satisfaction. Why. then, were these men sent abroad at an expense of $100.000 to the people? If the? gold standard is such a good thing, w hy was this effort made by a republican administration to get rid of it? President McKinley knows that the gold standard is not a good thing for the people. Up to 194 he fought for bimetallism and most bitterly condemned the conduct of Cleveland in favoring gold monometallism. When he sent the commission to Etiropp be confessed by his net that the gold standard was bad for the United States. Put there is a distinction between what is good for the people and what is good for the money power. Anything which contracts the currency, which

puts tbe burden of two money metals upon one, whicli, depreciates the value of everything except gold, is good for the dealers in gold, but unutterably bad for the masses. The republi.-nn party nnd the newspapers which support the theories of that party represent the bondholders, money dealers and ' M speculators of Wall street. They do not represent the people, nnd that is the reason the discouragement and defeat of the bimetallic commission is greeted with joy. The true friends of silver will not regret tbe outcome of this matter. The
