VIII be 20. We shall gladly follow such lead
anc make every effort in our power 20 render II
successful. But while are ready TO accept
any and every good result of party action,
We affirm that the moral reform of our
public concerns Is infinitely superior in impor-
lance TO the interests Of any political party Glad
10 promote that reform through party action we
shall insist upon il at all events. Should party
action fail. experience teaches that the habitual
submission of good citizens to choice OF evils
presented to them by party organizations is one
OF the most prolific causes of corruption in our
politics. The acceptance by the people OF the ar
gument that one party may be bad, and still en-
titled TO the support OF good men because the
other party Is still worse, will induce each to
consider how bad IL may safely be. II will
strengthen in each the most unscrupnlous ele-
ments, and subject the win OF the people 10 the
subtitle tyranny Of organizations welded by those
who live by politics.
: To break that tyranny by a stern refusal to
submit 10 such a choice OF evils is the hrst be-
ginning In the reform of our political life. With
out this all other steps will prove unavailing.
We shall sincerely rejoice TO the necessity OF
independent action avoided We earnestly hope
that the efforts 10 this ebd, being made by the
Trends OF reform within party hines, will be
crowned with success, and that the Just expecta-
tons OF the people may not be doomed to disap-
pointment. Indeed, we are confident that IL al
those OF our fellow-citiZens who In their hearts
agree with what we have said, will oaly take
the courage openly to proclaim their convictions
and purposes, such manifestation alone would
produce an effect sufficient 10 secure nomina-
lions, and an election inaugarating better order
OF things.
We, therefore, appeal 10 all good citizens who
hnd their own sentiments expressed in this ad-
dress, be they inside outside of party lines to
organize in their respective districts and commu-
nicate with the Executive Committee appointed
by this meeting, SO that efficient cooperation
may become possible. Let no effort he spared in
bringing the influence of patriotic public opinion
TO bear upon those who, in the customary way,
are soon to nominate the party canui-
dates; and then, in any event, let us be
ready to do what the best interests of
the Republic demand Cur generation has

he kept on matching and matching, the
body grew, and the pile of fragments
diminished, until at last, when only ~
great toe was lacking to complete the re-

coroner's offerings one great toe and
nothing more; and having stuck this on,
the surgeon, with some feeling of pride in
his skill, but little knowing that uncon-
sciously he had cleared up the mystery,
placidly awaited the return of the investi-
gators; and they soon came, VITA Col.

1t was indeed he. Sitting happily cn

month before, tamping blasting powder
into hole in rock beneath his feet, he
had pounded too hard, the charge had ex-
ploded, and he had been blown all over
the country in the small fragments mp
on Which the reporters had based their
tales of murder and the coroners had
held their many inquests. Probably no
other man was ever so widely distributed.

blown into the middle of next week.-Mrs.

die OF several adjoining counties.
"Of course" Mr.. Magutiin concluded,
'' this discovery relieved the coroners
from any suspicion of corruption, but 1t
also led to the passage of a wholesome
law which has since been substantially
adopted in many States, namely, that no
Coroner should charge for an inquest un.
