Mr. Powderly's letters to Master Workman Leo is presented a strange anomaly. The head of the Knights warns the mnster workman of the seriousness of the situation and the danger of making a mistep, His cautions are timely and praiseworthy. They show a level head and naught can be said Rg&inst Powderly for his admoniton to use good judgement. However, Mr. Powderly countenanced derelection of duty among employes of the roads in an endeavor to get the upper hand of the management. Mr. Powderly talked too much.

THE NEWS learns that the determination of several me tubers of the council is to bring the Water Works company to terms. The men who favor enforcing a

strict compliance with the terms of the contract are those who have heretofore manifested courage on public question*. There is no question as to whether or not the contract has been violated. Jn nearly every detail 4fce •company has fallen short of its agreement. For years the council has taken no notice of the operations of the company. From its organiration, when it received a snug donation of $50,000 from the city, to the present time, its bills have been paid and scarcely a question has been raised. Public sentiment has bren wrought up ovcr the service that has been accorded the city.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,1890.

HERETOFORE majorities have been rolled up. The tendency this year is to roll them down.

BY the time the Senate gets through with the McKinley bill the father of it will scarcely recognize the infant.

THE assurance is consoling to citizens that the water from the works cannot be used in the adulteration of milk. There is too much real estate in it.

WHAT is wanted to-day in this country is a short-cut reciprocity scheme between producer and consumer, without the intervention of trusts and combines.

A SAVAXNAH citizen killed a huge alligator with an ax. He should be made state executioner of New York. There would be no further use for electricity.

A PENNSYLVANIA Democrat has invented a new word, "jibboose." Its meaning is one who claims to be better than his party. There are many jibbooees on the Wabash.

MR. MOIST, Republican candidate for Congress, remains silent on bis vote on House bill No. 128. His record wasfirst published in THE NEWS last Monday. As yet no defense has been attempted.

As THE Central strike balloon has completely collapsed and fallen to earSby it becomes more apparent that the Federation acted wisely in making a par&ehute leap while it could be done with good' grace and reasonable safety.

THE first case ever tried in Vigo county was a divorce case. It would seem that the good people of Vigo have been keeping up the reputation ever since, although, be it said to the credit of the court, the application in the first case was denied.

THE water works company is in a "tough row of plugs." It receives a contribution from the city of $4,000 annually for 100 fire plugs which are unauthorized and unnecessary. The highest duty of the city council is to order out these plugs at its next meeting.

THE Evansville Courier a very creditable industrial^ edition. It is handsomely illustrated and printed, but one stateine^f)j^.Mo,pen to criticism: "Population of, over 50,000." Evansville is so superantMw^'Jiitt ifr *rei quires padding eyen of population to make it presentable. \yit^c^jHts0j»dding Evansville would present a eorry sight in comparison with other cities in Indiana.

As AN illustration of the manne^Tii which the water works company have dealt with the city, in 1888, %6ly two years ago, the board of equali ration raised the company's tax assessment the sum of $15,000. The company simply said it would not stand the raise and it didn't. The city has never compelled the payment of taxes on the increased valuation of the plant. The company was bigger than the city.

Nowthat the has become an issue, the taxpayers of Terre Haute demand all that their contract entitles them to. Tbe Council must meet the matter squarely. The only thiflfc that will sttfefy the people is tq forre compliance with every stipulation t»f

He had on an elegant §uit of clothes just out of the shop—a high white collar, immaculate cuffs, shoes blackened to patent leather shine. His hands were soft and white, his face was cleanly sbav en, his teeth shone between the full red lipe—which were slightly parted by fragrant Havana—like polished ivory: and the silk dicer sat firmly on his head —my, but he did loom up! He was music agent and had business in the ex treme northern pait of the city. His step a? he passed alonj the sidewalk was quick anc elastic. Pedestrians turned to admire the handsome figure. He finally paused at a gate and raised the latch. A neat cottage stood before him and at an open window sat an old man. The etone walk leading to the house reached this window by a rather circuitous route and the music agent started to trip lightly across tbe grass. He did not see the low wire fence which the owner of the premises had put up to keep the children off the grass. Ooe of the blackened shoes caught naturally under this wire and the prim gentleman ran his nose into the sod. The man in the window roared with laughter. The music agens got up. He looked thoroughly hors~ da combat. His cuffs were soiled, his collar bad mounted over his tie, the btood was trjtkling-down his lips and his face was besmeared with dirt and a sort of pea-green. The man in the window contiaued to laugh. The music agent glared as him like »tiger. "Did you fall dowry?" asked the old gentleman. "Fall down!" yelled* the music agent, "fall down, did you say? Did I look like a man who was falling up?"

The old gentleman laughed still louder, and the mtsic agent stood there, the personification of misery.

We stood opposite each other for a Jew seconds I simpering somewhat emptfly at the nature of our greeting and straggling to recall his name and he with has head slightly on one side and an expression of courteously suppressed amusement on his facey as if my presence on the steps of the postoffice was one of those inexplicable1 freaks of chance for which it is hopeless to seek to assign any reasonable law. I gave- him a few seconds-to digest his astonishment, and then, feeling that the silence was becoming a little embarrassing, I said ineonsequently, "Well, what have you 6een doing, all this time,. "Well," he replied, "Pve been, in Australia, you ftnow." "Oh, ah!" I.ejaculated, as if it hud-for a: moment slipped my memory •why,, you went there"- and I hesitated, as though calsulating the exact day of Ms departure. "Three years ago," he put ia shortly, "and quite long enough, too."

I ran over in: my mindmy acquaintance of three years ago, but could recall no trace of a recollection! of my new ccan panion so, to-gain time-and to gather fresh' information, I asked, "And what sort: of atimerhavoyou had?" "Qhrmuch about the same as before-," he answered, with aslightlypuzzled air.

I candidly admit that the sensible thing for me- to have done would have been to own up and admit that I had forgotten: my Mend's personality. Unfortunately, I am one of those painfully constituted people who shrink wit& nervous horror from any things in the nature of an explanation and, in. addition,. I felt that I had gone-too far to*jry off without some appearance of sincerity^ Besides, he seemed: to congratulate Mnself so warmly upon what he insisted upon looking on as- our providentiaTmeetnig that my lips were-sealed, and .L felt confirmed, in-. the idea that if I-let tfiingg slide a little 'longer his name would, recur to my mind.

He had slipped: his arm. through,mine as we walked, upv towu^.wdth an. easy sense of good fellowship^ and ^aidr "Of course you'll, dine with-mo thisTevening. Now don't you say you arerengagpd^" he added, as hesitated for an,. instant between. my desire to- have more- of my oompanion and. my disinclination t&dine under false pretenses "youknowrthey'll be awfully-disappointed, if,- they hear I have-met you and let you»off wdibhout a long talk ami I join themito-morrowJ'

I. felt constrained! to' consent against my better judgment and added, in a playfully solicitous, manner, "And how are they all?" "Oh, they are all tiptop—all except the colonel, after a pause-and with at slightly subdued air "I don't think he-has-ever quite got over that affair." "Ah," I rejoined, shaking my head sympathetically, "one doesn't get over that sort of thing in a day- but the others?"

What others?" he said bluntly. 1 hesitated, and rejoined vaguely: "Were there not some others?" i.

He pondered heavily for a few seconds before replying, "Yes,. I believe there were some others, but they made no difference."

I was just murmuring, "Very likely not," when he turned to me abruptly and said, "I hope you don't think he came badly out of that business?"

His hand seemed to relax its pressure on my arm, as if he was preparing himself for some censure or coldness on my Part.

I felt touched by this little proof of his sensitiveness to my good opinion, and pressed his fingers as I rejoined warmly, "I never heard any one speak otherwise than highly of his conduct in the matter."

He stopped and said!shortly: "Why,, who knows anything- about it? 1, thought you and I ha& it ail to our-

"Yes, yes," I faltered, and added, ia* consequently, "you know you have be« away forsome time, old fellow."

It did not seem to fit in very well .but he accepted it as an argument, and sgid: "There is something- in that, but d®n*t let people talk about it. I know relies upon you and me."

There was something so touching in the reliance of this unknown that aglow of sympathetic affection warmed my heart, and I resolved on the spot that his confidence should not be misplaced. Come what might, the secret at that old man's life should never be betrayed by me. Others might make it a subject o£ club gossip or tea table tit% tattle, bmfe no word of mine should add wi« drop to the cup of bitterness that had been placed at his lipe. There
