CHAPTER XVII. Scarborough. Now came the problem tc elect.

We hear much of many wonders of combination and concentration of In

dustrial power which railway and tel

egrapb have wrought. But nothing is

said about what seems to me the

greatest wonder of them all how

these forces have resulted in the con

centration of the political power of upwards of 12.000.000 of our 15,000,000 voters; how the few can impose their ideas and their will upon widening circles, out and out. until all are In

cluded. The people are scattered;

the powers confer, man to man, day

by day. - The people are divided by partizan and other prejudices; the powers are bound together by the one selfTriterest.' The people must accept such political organizations as are provided for them; the powers lfty for, ana their agents make and direct, these organizations. The people are poor; the power are rich. The people have not even offices to betow; the powers have offices to give and lucrative employment of all kinds, and material and social advancement everything that the vanity or the appetite of man craves. , The people punish but feebly usually the wrong persons and soon forget; the powers relentlessly and surely pursue those who oppose them, forgive only after the offender has surrendered unconditionally and they never forget where It Is to their interest to remember. The powers know both what they want and how to get it; the people know neither. Back in March, when Goodrich first suspected that I had outgeneraled him, he opened negotiations with the national machine of the opposition

party. lie decided that, if I should succeed in nominating Burbank, he

would save his masters, and himself

by nominating as the opposition candidate a man under their and his control, and by electing him with an enormous campaign fund. Beckett, the subtlest and most influential of the managers of the national machine of the opposition party, submitted several names to klm. lie selected Henry J. Simpson, justice of the supreme court of Ohio a slow, shy, ultra-conservative man. Ills brain spun full in every cell with the cobwebs of legal technicality, lie was, in his way, almost as satisfactory a candidate for the interests as Cromwell would have been. For, while he was honest, of what value is honesty when combined with credulity and lack of knowledge of affairs? They Jcaew what advisers he would select, ynen trained in their service and Kaken from their, legal staffs. They knew he would shrink from anything "radical or "disturbing" that is. would, not molest the two. packs of rwulves, the business and the political, at their feast upon the public. He came of a line of bigoted adherents of hi party; he led a simple, retired life among sheep and cows and books asleep in the skins of sheep and cows. He wore old-fashioned rural whiskers, thickest in the throat, thinning toward the jawbone, scant about the lower lip, absent from the upper. These evidences of Unfitness to cope with up-to-date corruptlonists seemed to endear him to the masses.

As soon as those big organs of the opposition that were in the control of the powers began to talk of Simpson as an ideal candidate, I suspected what was in the wind. But I had my hands full; the most I could then do was to supply my local "left-bower," Silliman, with funds and set him to work for a candidate for his party more to my taste. It was fortunate for me that I had cured myself of the habit of worrying. For it was plain that, if Goodrich and Beckett succeeded in petting Simpson nominated by the opposition I should have a hard fight to raise the necessary campaign money. The large interests either would finance Simpson, or, should I convince them that Burbank was as good for their purposes as Simpson, would be indifferent which won. I directed Silliman to work for Rundie of Indiana, a thoroughly honest man. In deadly earnest about half a dozen deadly wrong things, and capable of anything in furthering them -after the manner of fanatics. If he Jiad not been in public life, he would r-ave been a camp-meeting exhorter. Crowds liked to listen to him; the radicals and radically inclined throughout the west swore by him; he had had two terms in congress, had got a hundred-odd votes for the nomination for president at the last national invention of the opposition. A rplendid scare-crow for the Wall f treet crowd but difficult to nominate over Goodrich's man Simpson In a convention of practical politicians. In May it was t afternoon of the very day my mutineers got back Jnto the harness Woodruff asked me it I would see a man he had picked tip in a delegate-hunting trip into Indiana. "An old pal of mine, much the better for the 12-years wear since I last saw him. He has always

trained with the opposition. He's a full-fledged graduate of the Indiana school of politics and that's the best. It's all craft there they hate to give up money, and don't use it except as a last resort." He brought in his' man Alerriweather by name. I liked the first look at him keec, cynical, indifferent. He had evidently sat in so many games of chance of all kinds that play roused in him only the ice-cold passion of the purely professional. "There's been nothing doing in our state for the last two or three years at least nothing in my line," said he. "A rank outsider, Scarborough " . I nodded. . "Yes, I know him. " He came into the senate from your state two years' ago." "Well, he's built up a machine of his own and runs things' to suit him

self."

"I thought he wasn't a politician,"

said I. Merriweather's bony face showed a faint grin. "The best ever," said he. "He put the profession out of business, without its costing him a cent. I've got tired of waiting for him to blow over." Tired and hungry, I thought. After half an hour of pumping I sent him away detaining Woodruff. "What does he really think of R'undle?" I asked. "Says he hasn't the ghost of a chance that Scarborough'll, control the Indiana delegation and that Scarborough has no more use for lunatics than for grafters." This was not encouraging. I called Merriweather back. "Why don't you people nominate Scarborough at St. Louis?" said I. s Behind his surface of attention, I

saw his mind traveling at lightning speed in search of my hidden purpose along every avenue that my suggestion opened. - "Scarborough! be a dangerous man for you" he replied. "He's got a nasty way of reaching across party lines for votes." I kept my face a blank. "You've played poliitcs only in your own state or against f the eastern crowd these last few years," he went on, as if In-answer to my thoughts. "You don't realize what a hold Scarborough's got through the entire west. He has split your party and the ma-1

chine of his own in our state, and they know all about him and his do- j ings in the states to the west. The!

people like a fellow that knocks out the regulars." "A good many call him a demagogue, don't they?" said I. "Yes and he is, in a sort of a way," replied Merriweather. "But well, he's got a knack of telling the truth so that it doesn't scare folks. And he's managed to convince them that he isn't looking out for number one. It can't be denied that he made a good

governor. For instance, he got after the monopolists and the cost of living is 20 per cent, lower in Indiana than just across the line in Ohio." "Then I should say that all the large Interests in the country would line up against him," said I. "Every one," Baid Merriweather, and an expression of understanding flitted across his face. He went on: 'Hut it ain't much use talking about him. He couldn't get the nomina ion at least, it wouldn't be easy tc ;et it for him." "I suppose not." said I. "That's p "ob for a first-class man and they're are." And I shook hands with him About a week later he returned, and ried to make a report to me. But I ent him away, treating him very ormally. I apprecifdthat, being an experienced and capable man, he knew the wisdom of getting intimate ly in touch with his real employer; but, as I had my incomparable Wood ruff, better far than I at the rough work of politics, there was no neces sity for my entangling myself. Merriweather went to Woodruff and Woodruff reported to me Scarborough's friends in Indianapolis all agreed that he did not want the nomination and would not have it. "We must orce it on him." said I. "We must have Scarborough."

"Bankers and Brokers." "Bankers and Brokers," the new musical comedy in which Yorke & Adams will make their second appear

ance in this city as stars at the Gennett on April 16, is the work of Aaron Hoffman and while written for laughing purposes will be found to contain a tangible story that any audience can follow. The music it is claimed is far above the average and is of the popular style that 'will soon be whistled on the streets. Yorke & Adams, themselves, are sufficiently strong to furnish a good evening's entertainment. In addition to these popular stars, a company numbering forty-five people are carried in this organization. The song hits this season are all new and include "Just a Little Fond Affection," "Underneath a Parasol," "Mary of the Prairie," "Moon

ing Time," "Egyptian Maid,"

You Leave Our Happy Home for Me," "The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword," "Gatior and the Coon," "What Would You do", and "Holding Hands."

Repertoire at the Gennett. As the engagement of the North Brothers' company at the Gennett is rapidly drawing to a close, all those who have not yet attended should take an early opportunity to do so. They will find a combination of repertoire and specialties that will be 'pronounced worth much more than the popular prices charged. Tonight the bill will be "Kathleen Mavourneen"; Saturday afternoon. "A Daughter of

the South" and Saturday night, "The Girl Detective." Matinee patronage has been very heavy during the week

as well as that at night and the man

agement and the company have every reason to be well satisfied as was the

case when the company made its ap

pearance here some months ago.
