The issues have come the issues have gone but that still remains. Mr. Bryan's futile fallacies have one by one died and he has tried to bury them out of sight by maintaining that they "are not in the platform," but the spoils system has flourished in all the history of the Bryan party still called democratic. Mr. Marshall subscribes heartily to the evergreen principle of democracy. In August Mr. Marshall announced at Bethany Park: "I am a democrat, and the democratic party believes that to the victor belong the spoils." As this is one of the few straightforward statements Marshall has made, we assume that it is the feature of his campaign which he desires to be emphasized. The spoils system is one of the most potent reasons for bad government, mal administration and graft in this country. It goes on the doctrine that any man who has contributed services or money for his parties success is deserving of a "job" bo that he may get his pay. It does not mean that a man should to be a public servant have any qualifications for office which ho is given by tho man he helped elect The spoils system breeds the graft and corruption in office. The fat job, the franchise sold for a "rake off," the contract for public institutions in which, "there is a little graft," somebodies incompetent ne'er do well of a "n who can not succeed in business

he too la "taken care of" by the beneficent spoils system. It is greatly to the credit of the republican party throughout the states and the nation that it has undeniably stood for civil service examinations as a qualification for fitness and for nonpartisan administrations of public works. The civil service examination has given us two results good public servants; and tbe means by which the man who has not a pull may obtain the work he is fit for. The non-partisan administrations have given the country administrations which are for the most part entirely freed from the suspicion of

graft corruption. Will Mr. Marshall please stand out and say why it is that he believes in the spoils system? Is it for better government? Or is it for the benefit of the Brewery Trust? The question for the people of Indiana to answer is: "Do you want able public servants of non-partisan character who will serve the people, or do you want public servants who are judged solely on how much money they have contributed to Marshall's election and who are answerable to Tom Taggart and not to the people of the state?" What is the record of the democratic party under this splendid spoils system? Does any one happen to remember the affairs of the Central Hospital for the Insane, when that institution was under the democratic ward healers? The Inmates were fed on the worst food, were in some casea brutally treated. The contracts were loaded with graft, the place was one grand "spoil" for the benefit of democratic politicians. This policy was characteristic of the whole administration. It was a sample of what the spoils system means in operation. By the act of a republican legislature of 1895 the first non-partisan bills were passed and subsequently these have been strengthened. Do the people of Indiana want the insane, the prisoners and the other inmates of the state Institutions to go back under the rule of the spoils system or not? Do the people of Indiana care to have their affairs managed by the cats paws of Mr. T. Taggart and Mr. Lamb who were involved in the spollc system scandals of the democratic regime. If they do they can get it by electing a democratic legislature and Mr. Mar shall. Mr. Marshall has come out clearly and strongly in favor of the spoils system the perfecting link of Brewery Domination in this state. Elect Mar shall and you have it and all its un savory corruption, bribery and graft, Will Marshall evade the words which he uttered last August If he does what manner of man to be gov ernor! "I am a democrat and the democra tic party believes that to the victor belongs the spoils." Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1J0, by Edwin A. Nye. THE BAD BACHELOR. Some bachelors appear anxious to offer excuses for their bleak and barren existence. They deplore their lost estate. Others, it seems, glory in their bachelorhood. They are bachelors by malice prepense. Of thla latter are those who participated in a bachelors' parade recently In Chicago. They wore badges thus:

i , None That I Love More Than Myself. & I

Appropriately enough, these badees were of a yellow color. The sentiment is an expression of raw selfishness. It Is a worse selfishness than that of the legendary old party who prayed: O Lord, bless ras and my wife. My son John and his wife Us four and no more. Who loves no one better than himself loves a mighty selfish individual and lives in a very small circle. "Single blessedness" affords but a narrow range. The confirmed bachelor lives an abnormal life. Marriage is more than nature's plan for the propagation of the species. It affords a wider growth, wider experiences, wider happiness. The obstinate bachelor says: "Look at the divorce courts. Marriage Is a failure." Or, "Marriage is a lottery, i cannot afford to take the risk." Marriage is not a failure, and he who says so might as well point to the hospitals ami declare human life a failure as to point to the divorce courts for proof of his assertion. To be sure, the bachelor may have real excuses. Possibly the right party has not yet appeared on the horizon of his hopes, though she may live only next door. Or he may have dependent relatives and cannot afford matrimony. Or there may be a lack of health. But The healthy, foot loose celibate goes too far when he glories in his bachelor hood and confesses that he loves himself too well to marry. He puts hiaiaelf down as a no account nwmhr r.t I tbe human race.

MAN DIES SUDDENLY C. H. Ankeny Found Dead by Daughter. Word has been received here of the death of Charles Howard Ankeny, a former Richmond business man, at Lafayette, Monday morning from heart trouble. Mr. Ankeny left the Lafayette club about noon on Monday and returned to' his home. He was in the test of spirits and there was no sign of the approach of death in his genial : manner. Removing his overcoat he. spoke to his daughter and went up ' stairs to take a short nap before din-j ner. He had just reached his room i when his daughter, Miss AJys, heard a crashing sound, and rushing upstairs' she found her father prostrate on the floor unable to answer her questions. Physicians were summoned and pro-, nounced his death due to heart trouble. ; Mr. Ankney came to Richmond from Cincinnati' about 18TO, and engaged in the jewelry business, lie is well remembered by many of the older residents of the city. In 1874 he left Richmond for Lafayette, where again he entered the jewelry business. While . there he has always been one of the leading citizens of the city. He is survived by his wife and a daughter. Miss Alys. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the home and was private. AGED MAN KILLED INPIT CAVE-IN Several Workmen Have Narrow Escapes. Anderson, Ind., Oct. 8. Rain softened earth where the were working a gravel bank caved in on several workmen near this city this evening and John Atkinson, 61 years old, was instantly killed. Several men had narrow escapes from death. REAPER RACE THAI MADE WHITELY FAMOUS First Consolidation in Harvesting Business. In the early days of the exploitation of various reaping machines a field demonstration, usually competitive, was a necessary occurrence. H. N. Casson In "The Romance of the Reaper" tells the following story of William N. Whlteley, "the Charlemagne of the harvest field:" He was as tall as a sapling and as strong as a tree. As a professor in the great school of agriculture he has never been surpassed. He could outtalk. outwork and generally outwit the men who were sent against him. He was a whole exhibition in himself. "I've seen Bill Whlteley racing his horses through the grain and leaning over with his long arms to pick the mice's nests from Just in front of the knife," said an old Ohio settler. The feat that first made Whlteley famous was performed at Jamestown, O., in 1S67. His competitor was doing as good work as he was, whereupon he sprang from his seat unhitched one horse and finished his course with a single surprised steed pulling the heavy machine. His competitor followed suit and succeeded fully as well. This em-aged Whiteley, who at that time was as powerful as a young Hercules. "I can pull that reaper myself!" be shouted, turning his second horse loose and yoking his big shoulders into the harness. Such a thing had never been done before and has never been done since, but it Is true that in the passion of the moment Whiteley was filled with such strength that he ran the reaper from one side of the field to the other, cutting a full swath, a deed that, had he done it In ancient Greece, would have placed him among the immortals. That ten minutes in a horse collar made $2,000,000 for AVhlteley. His antagonist, Benjamin H. Warder, was filled with admiratiou for Whiteley's prowess and at once proposed that they should quit fighting and work in harmony. "Give me the right to make your reaper, and I'll pay you $3 apiece for all I can sell," said Warder. "It's a bargain," responded WLiteley. And so there arose the first Consolidation in the harvester business. "Before we were married."' said Mrs. Chatterton, "you used to tell me how much you loved me, but you never do now." "Of course not my dear," replied the masculine partner. "Since our marriage you haven't given me a chance to tell you anything." MASONIC CALENDAR. Friday, Oct. 9. King Solomon's Chapter. No. 4. R. A.

"That is' odd." thought Philip, who had witnessed both incidents in tbe course of a six yards walk. He glanced at the cabman and fancied the man gave a peculiar look of intelligence toward a couple of fashionably dressed loungers who stood in the shadow of the closed public entrance. The two men, without exchanging a word to Philip's hearing, went to a brougham standing at some little distance. They entered. Tb$ coachman, who received no Instructions, drove off in the same direction as the hansom, and as If to make sure be was being followed the cab driver turned to look behind him. Once In Naples Fhilip saw a man stealthily following a woman down an unlighted alley. Without a moment's hesitation he went after the pair and was Just in time to prevent the would be assassin from plunging an uplifted stiletto into the woman's back. The recollection of that little drama flashed into his mind now. There was a suggestion of the Neapolitan bravo's air in the manner In which these men stalked a girl who was quite unaware of their movements. He asked himself why a cabman should refuse one fare and pick up another in the same spot. The affair was certainly odd. He would see further into it before he dismissed it from his thoughts. The distance to Malda Cres cent was not great While thtoking he was acting. He sprang into the nearest hansom. "A brougham is following a hansom np Langham place," he said to the djlter. "Keep behind them. If they separate, follow the brougham. When It stops, pull up at the best place to avoid notice." The man nodded. Nothing surprises a London cabman. Soon tbe three vehicles were spinning along the Outer circle. It was not a very dark night, the sky being cloudless and starlit. Away in front at a point where the two lines of lamps curved sharply to the right and vanished amid tbe trees a row of little red lights showed that the road was up. The leading hansom drove steadily on. There was nothing remarkable in this. When the driver reached the obstruction, he would turn out of tbe park by the nearer gate; that was all. But be did nothing of the kind. There was a sudden crash of wood, a woman's scream, and the horse was struggling wildly amid a pile of loose wooden blocks, while one wheel of the cab dropped heavily Into a shallow trench." Simultaneously the brougham pulled up, and its two occupants rushed to the scene of the accident. Philip's driver of course obeyed Instructions, but he shorted to his fare as he jumped into the road: "That feller's either drunk or 'e did II a-puppuss." Philip was of the same opinion. He reached the overthrown barricade almost as soon as the two hurrying men in front, both of whom were in evening dress. One of them held the horse's head and steadied him. The other was jus! in time to help the young lady to leave her dangerous conveyance. "I hope you have received no injury, madam," he sail politely. "Oh, not at all. I was frightened foi an instant How could It have happened? I saw the lamps quite plainly. The man seemed to pull his horse deliberately Into the barrier." The voice was singularly sweet and well modulated. A neighboring ar lamp Illuminated the girl's face, witt Its white, unpitying radiance. It re vealed features beautifully modeled and large, startled ejea that looked wonderlngly from tbe man who cam so promptly to her rescue to the drivel who had caused the mishap. Philip behind the hansom, was unseen, lit remained a critical observer. "I fear he is intoxicated," was thi reply. "Here, you! How came you t make such a blunder?" "Blind as an owl," came the gurgling answer. "I saw some red spots daucin abaht, but I thort it must be that larsl gill o beer." Nevertheless the cabman extricated bis horse and vehicle from their pre dicament with singular ease for a hall drunken man. "Goin on, miss?" he grinned. "There'i nothin' extry for the steeplechise." ".No, no!" cried the lady. "I will walk. I will pay you now." "Take my advice and pay him not a cent," protested the man by her side "Leave him to me. My friend here will take his number. If you will accept a seat In my brougham" Tbe cabman began to swear and threaten them all with personal vio lence. The lady, clearly unwilling tc avail herself of the accommodating of fer made to her, tried to edge away. The driver of the hansom whipped hii horse on to the pavement By thli time he had turned his back to the roadmenders' barrier. The girl, angered and alarmed, shrank toward the gentleman, who seemed to give her some measure of protection from the infuriated cause ol all the trouble. "Do step into my brougham," he said civilly. "Victor, Just grab the gee-gee't head again, and keep that idiot quiel until we get away. Now, madam, take my advice. You will be quite safe instantly." Even yet she hesitated. There was perchance a timbre in the quiet cultured tone of the speaker that did not ring truly. The note of a bell cannot be perfect if there is a flaw in the metal, and the human voice often betrays a warped nature when to all outward seeming there is a fair exterior. The man who addressed her wag youthful, not murh older than herself. He was evidently a gentleman, with the polish and easy repose of society.

: tus woros, ms attiruae, were in tne best of taste. Yet A loud altercation broke out between the cabman and "Victor." The latter did not appear to be so ready to lay hands on the reins again, and the whip fell viciously on the horse's flank, causing him to plunge forward iu dangerous proximity to the couple on the sidewalk. He came close, but not too close. Philip was now quite certain that he was witnessing the dexterouj display of a skilled driver. "Really, I am at a loss for words to persuade you that your only course is to use my carriage; otherwise there will be a confounded row." The stranger's voice was a trifle pet ulant; whe was such an unreasonable young lady. She turned to Win irresolutelyto find Philip at her side thrusting himself in front of her would be rescuer. "You have been the victim of a plot madam," he said. "Your driver is not drunk, lie caused the accident pur posely. These two scoundrels are in leapue with him. If" "What thy devil" cried the other fiercely, but Philip swung him bo;MIy against the Iron ralHntrs. "If you care to take my cab alone it Is nt your service. I will look after these cads." His quick eyes caught a sljrnal from Victor to the cabman, lie was sorry for the horse, but this comedy must be f .spped. He instantly caught the britile and backed the cab violently toward the excavation. The cabman lashed at him in vain and swore, too. with remarkable fluency for one so drunk. Both wneels crunched on top of the stout barrier aud became locked there. Then Anson ran back toward tlw girl, whose arm was held by the owner of the brougham. "Take jour hands oft! that lady or I will hurt you," said Thilip. And there was that In his emphatic order which brooked no delay. The stranger dropped his restraining hand, but shouted furiously: "By what right do you interfere? I am only offering the lady some assist ance." Thilip ignored him. "What do you say, madam?" he iu quired, somewhat sternly, for she seemed loath to trust any of them. "Will you occupy my cab? It is there. Rest assured that neither of these men. shall follow you." She stood her ground, came nearer to him. "I believe you," she murmured. thank yon from my heart. It is Inex plicablc that such wretches can exist "By what right do you interjerct" as these two seeming gentlemen,' who stooped to such artifice against a helpless woman." "Most fortunately I saw you leaving the Regent's hall." he replied. "This cab was waiting for you and you only. The man refused at least one fare in my presence. The others followed In a brougham. Do you know them?" "No. I have never, to my knowledge, seen either of them before in my life. How came you" "I happened to hear your address. I will write to you and explain. Go now," he quickly interrupted, for Victor and his friend were approaching them after a hasty conference. "Leave you to deal with these assassins alone! Not I! I can defend myself. I can help you. I will scream for assistance. There are too many of them for you to resist them singlehanded." Philip vowed afterward that fire flashed in her eyes. There was a splendid passion In the gesture with which she pointed to the enraged han- i som driver, who had climbed from his perch and was running to join his employers. This was a new experience for Philip, and the blood leaped in bis veins at tbe girl's courageous words, but be laughed in his pleasant musical way. "Men who would attack a defenseless woman,; he said, "are poor creatures where a man's heart Is needed. Now, just watch me and don't be alarmed." He strode to meet the advancing trio. They halted. I give yon a last warning," he cried. "Drive off in your carriage. And you" to the cabman "go back and help your horse. Ton must go now, this instant or take the consequences.' There was the silence of indecision. This strong faced man with the figure of an athlete meant what be said. Victor caught his friend's arm. "Come away," he whispered. "She does not know you. You bare failed this time,"

The lydy would ha' took no 'arm. I didn't mean" Philip was strongly tempted to kick him, but refrained. lie grasped the man's shoulder and lifted his badge to the light "I will spare you for the lady's f.ake," he said grimly, "but I want your number, in case you try any more such tricks." "My Gawd. It's Mr. Anson!" For the first time the driver saw Philip's face clearly. "Ab. you know roe, then? Who were those blackguards who employed you?" "S'elp me, sir. I on'y know one of em. 'E's a Mr. Victor Grenler. I ofTen pick Mm up at the Gardenia. 'E said 'is pal was sweet on the young lydy an' wanted a put np Job ter 'elp 'er. That's all, guv'nor, on me life." "Ton ought to be ashamed of yourself," was Philip's only comment He rejoined the girl, who was watchinj? the retreating brougham. "Now." he cried pleasantly, "you can go home." "Please drive me there. I will not deprive you of your cab." So they drove away together, and tbe driver of the hansom, striving to free his vehicle from the broken trestles. uzJ. ta .0 "E fairly bested the crowd," he growled, "an got the girl as well. My eye, but she's a beauty!" CIIaFTER XV. MAIDA CRESCENT was little more than half a mile beyond the park. Philip thought it due to the lady he had befriended that she should know exactly how he came to interfere in her behalf. She listened in silence, and when she spoke there was a suggestion of shy nervousness oddly at variance with her spirited action of a few minutes. earlier. "I cannot understand it at all," she said. "I am seldom out so late. My professional engagements are few and far between, I am sorry to say." "Were you attending a rehearsal at the Regent's hall?" "Yes." "A rehearsal for M. Jowkacsy's concert?" "Yes." She volunteered no further Information, but Philip was a persistent person. "I do not remember another day In my life previously," he said, "when so many fortuitous events grouped themselves together In such a curious relationship. Even this adventure is a sequel to a prior Incident Just before I Joined in the chase after you I had purchased some tickets for Jowkacsy's muslcale. The strangest Item of all is that I was practically walking away from the direction in which I live when my attention was drawn to the cabman's behavior." "Good gracious!" she protested. "Am I taking you out of your way? I thought you merely happened to be driving after us through the park." She invited no confidences. She adhered strictly to the affair of the moment, and be had do option but to follow her cue. "I do not think I have ever been in Begent's park before." "What an amazing circumstance that you should gallop off in such fashion to the rescue of an unknown woman, I mean!" "That, again, is original or nearly so." "Are you a Londoner?" "To some extent; a little while each year. I live mostly on the sea." "Oh. that accounts for your gallantry. You are a sailor." A yachtsman," corrected Philip. "How delightful! I have not even seen the sea for sges. One has to work so hard nowadays to obtain recognition. I do not object to tbe work, for I love music, but the bread and butter aspect l. disagreeable, and and you have learned tonight how even tbe small amount of publicity I have achieved brings with It the risk of Insult" "By the way." he said quietly, striving not to add to the excitement under which she was certainly laboring, "one of those men is named Victor Grenler. You ought to know." "Thank you. How did you ascertain ur "The cabman told me. He knew me." "The cabman knew you?" "Yes; I fly about town in hansoms. I am too n7.y t- Ti'k."

No alum or JrJA Absolutely THOUSANDS OF FISH STUNNED BY STORM Off Cape Horn on Occasion of Marine Upheaval. - A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn was caught in a dead calm, something almost unprecedented In that stormy latitude. The sky was filmed with a light haze, and the sea was fiat and lead colored. About 10 o'clock on the morning of the second day the ship began to shake violently, the masts whipped and bent like fish poles, and everything movable above and below came down with a clatter. It was like striking a rock, only the shock was less pronounced at first, but Increased in violence during the thirty seconds It lasted. Tbe sea heaved in oily swells with a strange, hoarse murmur, and it continued to be agitated after the tremors ceased. naif an hour later fish by the thousands began to rise to tbe surface until it was covered with them. Forty-seven whales were counted, many cowflsh fully eight feet across, sharks without number and seals by the hundreds. They were evidently stunnol with the force of some terrific marine upheaval, and when struck with a pole by one of the sailors showed only faint signs of life. In twenty minutes after tbe first fish arose to the surface they began to drop out of sight like pieces of lend. Whether they were stunned and, on recovering. Immediately dived beneath the waves in a panic, seeking safety in the depths, or whether they died from the shock and. Instead of floating as dead fish do, were drawn under by some submarine whirlpool, were scientific questions too deep for the eklpper, but half a dozen of the smaller fish banled aboard by the cook for dinner were quite deed when examined. The calm continued twenty-four hours longer before the ocean resumed its usual aspect and a wind from tbe southeast permitted tbe ship to continue its course. New York Press. Behind trie Times.
