10 nOiu your properly even q tier you are
Of age? Come with me, dear child, away
from these selfish plotters."
"But must hear the reason" Celia
pleaded, "why my mother thrust me out
of her home and her heart"
Never out of her heart. Celia the
old lawy er said; "never out of her heart.
You may not know that if you die with
in two months, or if you die without
making will after you are of age, that
man-your fathers brother-isI heir to
The fortune your grandfather left you.
Upon the evening of his wedding day,
the day when, won by his plausive man
ner and winning voice. your mother be-
came his wife, he fell asleep upon the
sofa. She loved him then, Celia, and for
giving his rudeness, pitiful for his weari-
ness, as she supposed, though under
stand wine flowed freely at the wedding
breakfast, she sat beside him, caressing
his hair. And in his sleep he spoke"
"Stop!" Albert Melrose spoke hoarse-
ly.
"One.moment more" He said: "Once
l marry the mother, the child will be
completely In my power"
ut is foul lie / Do not believe it
Celia"
ut is truth. Your mother is here to
confirm my words"
And Kate Melrose. stepping forward,
held out her arms to the child, saying:
Cecilia, could anything less than saw
ing your life have induced me to part
with you? Cnild, dear child. l exiled
you for your lite's sake. For your life's
sake am here now"
And the girl, with one swift glance in
to the face of the twice batlled schemer
for her life and fortune, sprang into the
loving arms that had wearied to hold
her for nine long years.
With a curse, AlbertMelrose turned
on his heel and left the three, seeing
that no words of his could ever again
win Celia's heart from loyal love to her
devoted, self-saclifcing mother.
What his plans had been they never
knew, nor in what way he had so sue
cessfully traced the girl, for by the next
steamer he sailed for Europe, carrying
the remnants of his wife's fortune with
him.
He obtained access to the seminary
under his true character of Cela's uncle,
and stepfather, the principal having re-
ceived no caution from Mr.. Carter, who
thought she was securely hidden.
In few interviews he persuaded
Celia, already smarting under her
mothers supposed neglect and inditler-
ence, to 60 with him away from the
seminary to some home he painted in
fairy-like colors to her girlish magma.
ton. What were his further schemes
to obtain possession of her fortune,
mother and child could only shudder-
ingly imagine.
But the will of Celia Melrose, drawn
upon the day she became of age, her
marriage two years later, and the birth
of her lovely children. effectually pre-
vented Albert Melrose from ever in
heriting the fortune he would have OBJ
tanned by foulest means, had he not
been twice bafiled by Kate Melrose's
strong, self-sacrificing mother love.
He died in Europe, never knowing
thathis own careleseness in dropping
Celia's letter agreeing to meet him on
that memorable October afternoon, had
put into his wife's hand the power to
overthrow his deeply laid scheme to
grasp the fortune his father had left to
Celia Melrose.

Corporations and their Privileges.


Thirty years ago one of the great men
of New York thus spoke of corporations
and their privileges:
Corporate bodies as organized in this
country are in general exempt from com
plete pecuniary responsibility. They re
spond to their debts only to the extent of
their stock; the holders of it are not
in general personally responsible.
Through the means of a corporation a man
may risk any sum he pleases upon an ad-
venture for gain by taking a particular
amount of stock; the adventure may prove
disastrous through want of skill, integrity,
or from any other cause, and the corpOratoI
only loses the sum which he paid for the
stock-although the adventure may have
sunk three times that amount; while a
natural person who should embark in g
similar adventure and fail to the same ex
tent would be required to respond to the
whole amount of the loss, let the sun
originally advanced in the enterprise be
what it might. The corporation may
wholly fail, and yet all the stockholders
may remain rich. They have, therefore
all the chances and advantages of gair
which natural person enjoys, and art
exempted from the same extent of loss
| Here is a privilege and an exemption in
deed! How much more considerable is TIT
law of it's own creatures than OF the erea
lures of God? Here is an artificial
person dealing among men withou
moral and with limited pecuniary

encouragement to any one else from them.
They take counsel of their fears; they see
the signs of the times indicate democratic
triumphs, state and national, and hence their
motto of divide and rule" The man
who leaves the democratic party at this
time mistakes his true interests and gives
aid and comfort to the republicans. Every
vote taken from the democratic party and
lost 10 the fruitless bootless projects of the
third party is half vote for the republi-
cans.
No democrat should waver 10 the hour
of dawuing triumph. Now is not the time
to relax our efforts or to yield single point
to the Vaccinations ofour opponents. In
the union of all democratic forces, in the
sympathy and support of the masses lies
democratic strength. The democracy is
the only party that is or ever was il
reality the peoples party, it is the only
party now which can lead the country out
Of the degradation and poverty into which
the country has fallen through mismanage'
ment, thievery, and unparalleled cor
ruption, and place it once more upon The
road to prosperity. Stand fast democrats;
let no device, or sophistry, or third party
illusions deceive you, or divide you
sympathies, or alessen your devotion Il
democratic principles and your faith il
ultimate success.

stand Fast.

Now is the time for every democrat to
show his devotion to principles and to
abide fast in the faith. Strenuous efforts
are being made by our opponents to dis
organize and disintegrate the democratic
strength. The third party movements,
the fusion of ali kinds of factions, the sym
patty and encouragement which republi-
cans give to these movements and factions
all point to one ohject,a desire to defeat the
democratic party. The republicans are
everywhere sensible of their departinp
power. They realize with certainty the
success Of the democrats if they are united
and harmonious. Knowing this, every effor,
is made to divide the party and through
such division infict upon the country q
continuation of republican misrnle. There
is no inherent sympathy between the re
publican party and the nationals, green
packers, workingmen. or whatever name i

No denial after all.


Some days have been elapsed since the
appearance in the World of a statement
purporting to give Senator Conkling' 8
views of the proceedings of the electoral
commission, and the doings of that man
Hayes," and the senator makes no denial
of the material points of the statement.
Evidently, from what be now says in re-
gard to it, the senator has been interview
ed by the party making the statement, and
has expressed himself substantially as re-
ported. His disclaimer that it was entire
ly of private nature and not intended for
publication, does not affect the public as to
what he actually said. IF the interviewer
betrayed the senator's confidence that is q
matter between them, but now that the
public have been informed what the senator
has thought and said it becomes important
to know what the senator has been doing
TO prevent the wrong and outrage which
be describes so thrilliDgly, and what his
course is to be from this time on. Not a
little of what he says is almost entirely
new matter to the public and the people
are naturally DESTROYS of knowing upon
what authority he speaks, and whether or
not ne intends to follow up his revelations
by any efforts to right the iniquitie'
which he portrays. The matter of bargain
aud sale of the presidency is one Of thu
most serious charges possible to maxi
against the administration, and the peopl
have right to all the facts, howeve
damaging. they may be to individuals, o
disastrous to party interests.

State Treasurer.

MIR. Cronkrite who was nominated for
State Treasurer by the Democrats last
week, is being spoken of everywhere in the
highest and best terms. His ability to fill the
Office is such as to disarm criticism from the
opposition, and the more intelligent among
the Republicans concede his election.
That he is good man for the place, and
one that will do credit to the position, is
fully evidenced in the large vote he received
in the Convention, composed as it was OF
s1me of the best as we'll as the most intelIi'
gent men in the State. The home organ Of
Mr.. Cronkrite, the Freeport Bulletin but
reiterates the sentiment of the people
when it says:
in selecting Mr.. CronKrite to head the
ticket, the members of the Convention
have not only paid high compliment tc
our fellow. townsman, but have also dis
played their own judgment, wisdom anc
discrimination. He is q gentleman OF
strict honor, and is possessed, moreover
both naturally and by education, OF those
business qualifications which should dis
tinguish the Treasurer of the State. He
will poll an immense vote in this section
where his abilities have been so widely
recognized and his character so long es-
teemed. Mr.. Cronkrite's record as mem

Take some yourself.

Aud now here comes another Illinois
Democratic newspaper which, like the
Chicago Times and the Springfield Regis
ter, repudiates the platform of the recent
State Convention, 1t is the Rock Island
ARGUS, which nervously declares that it
won't believe that black is white" or
that lrredeemable paper is true money,
even If all the conventions for q century TO
come should resolve" such abSurdities.
And yet neither the Rock Island ARGUS
nor the Springfield Register has the cour-
age to bolt the ticket which stands pledged
to such absurdities. They deDounce the
doctors prescriptions as empirical, but
nevertheless swallow down his pills with
out "a grimace Chic, Journal
The ticket is all right We have ex
pressd both willingness and intention to
support It, because the nominees are good
men, possessing the proper qualifications,
aud if elected, would discharge the duties
Of office creditably to themselves and ac-
ceptably to the people. As to the platform
portions of it are to our liking, and other
portions are not. In general way we
prefer it to any republican platform which
has ever :een offered to the people of this
State: hence as a matter of choice in that
respect we have no occasion to hesitate.
Suppose, Governor, as now seems prob
able, the republican party should take W
Gen, Bates the nominee of the Nationals
and put him on your ticket for the same
office, would you swallow down your doc

would you support your platform but bolt
