The captain's remonstrance only called forth 1 an indignant reply to the effe. t that , the stokers were a better lot of men than all the rest of us put together. Nothittg remained but for us to put bin 'into Coventry," and this we did most thoroughly. I moved to another I cabin and the seat on either side of him at table became acant. At each meai he would appear, eat silently and theo at once go for'd again. As if to . fiBiplwli his descent in ihM social scale, be becegea ee pen tally a4taahtt1 to a down-dr.if rascal of a stoker and the two were inseparable. One day this j Fcoun.'.r. 1 refused to carry out some order and. on his being pressed to do ; so. struck the officer on duty with a shovel.

A larce reward had been offered, so the last papers said, to j anyone who would give information which would b ad to the villain's arr. t. and It was Interesting to note what a I rat there was on these week-old ' papers.

aroor.gst us vob ed the general opinion that this was out of the question and. besides, he was safe enough whilst miles of cean rolled between u and the nearest shore. This was the state of thlnM on the ircrnlng when we were hailed by the pilot. Maty were the speculations as to whether the authorities at DOBM could have tracked the murderer by now. and whether an officer M not be on board the pilot BOat to arrest him But no. only the weai he'-beaten

with the passencrr. all of his old cheerful manner one more upon him. and soon we learn, d the truth Of bia strange doings. If seems that he was a detective officer of well-known Scotland Yard repute. The authorities in London had learned, aa we had already heard, that the murderer of whom we had read had got aa far as Liverpool and they thought that he would try to escape on one of the three vessele sailing w hen we did. So an offb er was ordered to board eacii of tha three steamers, and thus Detective officer Bobinson (alias J. A. Smith) traveled with us. He did not know whether hit quarry was on hoard at all; much less did he know In what eapedty be would travel, and hen'e he derided to make the acqoaintaace of every man on board, hoping thus to come serosa his man It will be remembered that the authorities bad only the most meager knowledge of the murderer's appearance. We bad been at sea for nearly a week and he had suspected several of the passengers, myeetf aattahial the atrmber so he said, before be came across the stowaway who was working as a s'T.er. Him he spotted in some way, and from that moment BttKfc to him. as we had seen. At the pilot station be was if raid that he was going to loe him. but. as we saw, persuaded the captain to tal e him on to Quebec and himself rit a cypher BaejaasjB to the police at that ort to be waiting for us. When asaed why he had not arrested his man as soon as he had re ognised him. he replied that he bad made friends with him instead and had thus extracted much StrhSetBOa of the mane guilt. How he soothed the ruffled feelinga of the "old man" for not bavin;: naflded in him we never heard, but he somehow succeeded thoroughly and as he shook hands all round and went ashore for the second time, we raised a cheer for our friend ".Mm Smith. who had suffered so much at oar hands. He left Quebec that night on an out ward-bound mail svamer for LiverOOl with his man. and we heard some time Wr that the murderer was convicted and hani d for tne penetration of as dastardly p.nd co'.d-blooded a crime as had occurred in reo nt yeara.

LABOR'S APPEAL TO LABOR Workingmen Call Upon Fellow Workinganen to Defeat the Republican Party.
Organized labor of Pennsylvania, that has for so many years been faithful to the republican machine of that state, ta
! appealing to the unions of other states I to aid them by defeating the republican act. In the address to their brother , workmen they say: "I'nion men. union j sympathizers and those friendly to tho I ause of labor, aid us in our struggle i against the republican machine. WeapI peal to union men and their friends iak . every trad, craft and occupation, to I strike a crushing blows: our enemy, and defeat the republican party inthiseleoThe cause of this appeal is an old one the republican machine politicians in league with the trusts and corl porations and doing their bidding. Ia I Pennsylvania the republican party la I so strong that it thinks it can do what I it pleases and ride roughshod over laj bor or anyone else that stands in its unrighteous wa In New York and
other doubtful states It pretends to favor laoor. but is secretly in league with its enemies, such as Parry in Indiana. These Pennsylvania laboring men appealed to Chairman Cortt'jou and President Roosevelt, but were turned down, aaeaaaa it is known that the counting of the fraudulent rotes in that state will overcome almost any opposition The appeal is now from Caesar to the people and the result should be a lesson to the republican machine everywhere that it will not forget.

So far. October shows a deficit, in spite of all the treasury officials could do. Will the repuMii ar.s s.-ue bonds to meet the growing deficit, or will they . reimpoae the war taxes or have they i become reckless expecting the demoerats to win. and expert to bard over the job of making both ends meet to i Judge Parker, as Harrison did to Cleveland? Secretary Shaw couldn't aee a 141,000.000 deficit with a mlrroecope. but he managed to see the little surplus of fO.oi '.". with his naked eye, at a distance of 1.8 miles. The g. o p optics always were In need of a first class oculist's services. The Commoner. Senator Elkins. of West Virginia. 1 has been strangely silent so far dor Ipg the campaign Some weeks ago he declared he bad no doubt that the '
state would give Mr. Roosevelt a big majority, but he has produced nothing to prove nie assertion. RaitiaBore Herald (lad.).
There are enough democratic and independent voters in all the doubtful states to elect Parker and Davis if they register and vote. Those voters who believe in stopping frauds and grafting, who feel that the protective tariff is robbing them and enriching the trusts, who would stop government extravagance, can do themse.ves and their country a service by registering and votiag and see that their neighbors do likewise. The democrats cannot draw upon tbe trusts and corporations for iull's to pay their workers like the republicans, but must rely upon volunteers to labor for the cause of good gor- . mment. R member that every voter is equal, when he exercises the highest ngbt of an American citizen, and nothing should swerve him from casting hia ballot without fear or favor. The issue in this campaign is. shall tbe trusts rule tbe country and wax more fat at the expense of the people, or shai! the govern men t be economically administered in the Interests of ail the people.
