Without being seen. he saw 'n'

too, that the love depths of those eye

Intuitively he knew that there ia"

He knew that Eva had been faltniuh

The village loungers about the sta-

and sun-browned stranger who step
ped upon the platform, and, without
word to anyone, and with scarcely
look about him, turned into the gray
eled carriage-way that led to Maynard
Cottage, and with brisk walk turned
over the brow of the hill.
Eva, with the blue scarf still wGllil"
about her shoulders. and deeply ao-
sorbed, was leaning upon a thin, white
hand that rested upon the shoulder OF
a marble statue of Spring, and dlo

The mistake that had played such

1t has been stated. and very truly
too, that the law of the napkin is but
vaguely understood. 1t may be said
however, on the start, that custom
and good breeding have uttered the
decree that it is in poor tase toput the
napkin in the pocket and carry it
away.
The rule of etiquette is becoming
more and more thoroughly establish
ed, that the napkin should be left
in the house of the hostess, after din
ner.
There has been good deal of dis
cussion also upon the matter of fold
ing the napkin after dinner, and
whether it should he so disposed of
or negligently tossed into the gravy
boat. If. however, it can he folded
easily. and without attracting too
much attention and prolonging the
session for several hours. it should
be so arranged and placed beside the
plate, where ii may be easily found
by the hostess. and returned to her
neighbor from whom she borrowed it
for the occasion. If. however. the
lady of the house is not doing her
own work, the napkin may be fold
ed into a globular wad and fired
under the table. to convey the idea of
utter recklessness and pampered
abandon.
The use of the finger bowl is also a
subject of much Importance to the
bon ton guest who gorges himself at
the expense of his friends.
The custom of drinking out of Il
finger bowl, though not entirely OBJ
solete, has been limited to the extent
that good breeding does not now per-
nit the guest to quaff the water from,
his finger bowl unless he does soprior
to using it as finger bowl.
Thus it will be seen that social Gus
tnms are slowly but surely cutting
down and circumscribing the rinht.
and privileges of the masses.

ical parlance runs the county. In

little to do with the mass OF the peo
pie, this man manipulates for him.
This man wants something and this
other man also wants something, and
this manipulator of the county he has
man in this town or that town who
also wants something, and this man
in this or that town has here and
there another man who wants some
thing, and SO all these men who want
something put their heads together,
figure silently, always modestly deny
ing that they want anything at all, ,and
these men comprise the political par
ty. And in one way or Another these
needy ones manipulate the votes of
the men who want nothing but good
government.
You innocent ones who think the
Bonanza King, bralnless or other
wise, stands at the polls buying votes
are out of your reckoning completely,
votes are not to be bad in this way.
The "want something's" are the yot-

senatorial or gubernatorial aspirant
deals. Why it is all just like the little

We think that the idea, as we now
understand the programme, Of send
ing delegates from Gunnison county
to Washington in order to push the
opening of the Reservation. is most
i'll advised. Perhaps no other camp
has a greater interest. or has worked
harder in this matter than Ruby camp.
We have a9itated the question at all
times, and we are readyto raise money
It needs be. But just at this juncture,
when Congressman Belford telegraphs
unequiyocally that the bill will pass in
the next ten days, the people OF
this camp do not feel like administer
ing a gratuitous insult to man who
has shown himself upon all occasions
alert to defend the interests Of all
sections Of the State. Even before
this telegram, we were strongly averse
to any such procedure, but in the
face Of these very recent developments
there is not the shadow Of an excuse
for such q step. The political situa-
ton in the House at Washington is
such that no delegation Gunnison
county could send would make the
least impression outside OF our own
/. representatives, and it certainly is
only descent act Of courtesy to them
after Mr.. Belford's telegram, to trust
to their sagacity and push to have the
bill passed. We feyvently trust that
conservative counsels will prevail At
Cnnnison and that the positive assur-
ances Of Mr.. Bclford will be accepted

THE BONAWZ4 KING.

~ IL IL o-V<l LV1>C xA1NUs
Much is being written just at this
time about the Bonanza King and his
fitness to represent the state in po-
litical way.
A great cry is going up over the
land for more brains and less money
IN our politics; quite true, Our spoil
tics now and then do show lamenta-
bic lack of brains and an over-a-bun
dence of brass but with allgthis it
does not necessarily follow that be-
cause man has money he is lacking
IN bratns. 1t occurs to us just now
that one of the most brainless fellows
we have ever had the pleasure Of meet
ing, never had to our knowledge suffl-
c'ent surplus funds in his pocketto
buy pug dog, and upon the other
side we have met several men in the
course of our lite's experience who
had ample of worlds goods, withsu
marked absence of cerebral develop
ment that it was quite mystery as to
how they could have acquired so much.
The fact is that the absence of
money in our politics is not so much
needed, or the acquisition of brains,
as the elimination Of chicanery.. Col
orado for instance has, IN all probabil-
lty, the fair average of brains and a
not undue influence of money, and in
political trickery, political rottenness
and mediocrity it also does not "bear
the palm alone" The truth IS that
all over the country this plague of pol
itics is fast killing out all indepen-
dence of thought and subvertine
everything to the power of the ma
chine.
The political party as now organ
lied strangles where it cannot control.
1t is no longer so much of asprinciple
as it is a man, and to fight it, one is
inevitably drawn into apersonal con
test, and always at the expense Of bis
comfort and often at the cost of debas-
ing his better nature.
You may be sure in counting upon
just as much honesty and uprightness
in a gang of cut throats as you will
had IN politics. Ordinarily men are
IN politics for what they can make out
of it, and besides none of the ordi-
nary rules Of business integrity hold
good here.
! Now the Bonanza King IS not at
fault for this and it is simply puerile
for the community to lay its sins upon
his shoulders. He takes the situation
as it is. He wants to be senator, a
governor or what-not, and he finds as
tool for making him governor or
senator the political party. This po-
litical party as be finds it, consists Of
= comparatively few men. Here and
there b picks hn tool, in ed osuu-

The death Of Emerson leaves void
in many hearts. Men OF such lofty
thoughts and life lend dignity to
their time which can not we'll be spar
ed. 1t was refreshing amid the tur-
moil and confusion of our busy,
clashing, everyday life, to think Of
this calm Philosopher, leading his
life apart from the struggle and strife,
in grand contemplation of law.
Wandering by the river side and
through fields OF waving grain, listen
ing to the songs Of birds; the mur-
muring and sighlng of the breeze
among the trees hearing and under
standing all the sweet voices Of nature
and holding always pleasant commu-
mon with her great spirit. The peace
which passeth understanding seemed
to possess his soul. This peace came
through comprehension of the laws
that govern the universe and to those
who have once caught a glimpse OF
these laws, and are struggling after a
larger knowledge of them, his words
come like sweet bencdictlon, giving
peace and encouragement. He pos
sessed that parallelism to law, which
he speaks Of as the secret Of all great
ness, and lis particular parailelism
lay in the realm OF the spiritual and
philosophical. He was considered
mystical by some, but to those of the
same inclination of thought, he was
always comprehensive. Every mind
has its complement IN some other
mind, and by such must the great
be content to be understood anG
appreciated, although this other
mind BE- very inferior in degree until
time, which eventually brings justice,
pl1ces him in his right position be-
fore the world. He is also called an
egotist-but genius is always egotistic.
All great spiritual or intellectual effort
is preceded and accompanied by an
active self-consciousness, and its man
hesitation is egotism. 1t would, of
course, be more satisfactory could all
our great characters be perfect; that
is, show an equal greatness and de-
velopment in every direction but,
unfortunately, the finite has its lim,-
tations, and can be harmonious and
perfect only in tendency. We must
be content to accept the truth that
each can give us. The influence Of
Emerson's thought will be greatly felt
IN the coming time, in educating and
moulding society. He has anticipated
the condition which society must
surely attain in the process OF growth
and evolution. To Emerson and to
Victor Hugo, perhaps, do we owe the
most for the social progress Of the age.
and Of that to come. Some philcso-
phef (Helvetius, / think), has some
where limited that the soul of man lies
irresu-c.tably buried in the bottom of
his stomach. The soul of the world
has thus far been too much in this
same disadvantageous position. The
stomach has been rather the predomi-
nant factor in ruling the world, but
there has been a laudablc tendency, on
the part Of the world, to rescue its
soul from this embarrassing position.
Moral effoyts have been made and are
constantly being made in this direc-.
ton. Should the resuscitation be ac-
complished, and the soul and stomach
become equal factors, society will be
apt to fnd Itself capable of compre-
heading. ippseciating and acting upon
the thesnn sf this philosopher.

nope that something would bring

croaked the loudest when the emptiest.
America to-day is cursed with two
dead political parties and their only
difference is that one died amid the
canon thundcrs of 1861 and the other
IN 1879, and out of all this moribund
condition comes the political corrup-
ton, "organlzed hypocricy" and medi-
ocrity of to-day.
The Republican party Of 1861 was
a party Of principles and it rallied to
Its standard great souls. The Repub-
lican party Of 1881 was party of men
without principles. and it rallied pig
mics. They buy and sell and mart
their Offices for gain and have the sub
lime efrontery to call themselves the
party Of Lincoln, Of Sumner, of
Greeley, Of Seward, and to recall the
memories Of 1864. The Republican
party was not conceived in and did
not live by base bargainings, and If
It IS to Be the party Of the future it
