We heard while in Washington
that jim Mason's celebrated syn
dictate had "busted." Bnt it an.
pears that the notorious and fraud
nlent W. Va. certificates issued BY
the State Of Virginia, are on the
market aud that there will be an
attempt To compel their payment.
The editor Of tho W. Va. Democrat
is the agent Of this syndicate. He
opposes the election Of Mr. Camden

New York Sun: When the PEG.
pie Of the United States, in Noyem,
Der, 1884, voted to put the Repob.
Leans out and the Democrats into
power in the national Government,
did they mean to have the change
limited II che Presidency, the Cab.
met, and the most prominent
places in the public service, or was
ittheir wish to briog about a more
radical aud thorough-going reform
by putting in new men generality
1t seems 10 US they wanted 10
leayen the whole with Democracy.
We are unable to see why a Dem
ocrat sho seeks a small Office should
be characterized as an impudent
spokesman anymore than a Demo.
craI who seeksag great otfice;or why
either of them should be subjected
TO this rsproachful appellasion.
The Democrats want the office be
cause they think they eau serve
The public better than the Republi.
cans.
If they can, they should have
the Offices, Ifnot, the Republicans
should be permitted to keep them.
There is nothing in this notion
at all inconsistent with the fte.
quently expressedid idea of President
Cleveland that the public Office Is
a public trust.
All that the Democracy asks is
that whenever q new trustee is to
be appointed, a Democrat shall
have the opportunity to prove that
he will make a more competent
aud faithful trustee than any Re.
publican than can be selestod, or
any Mugwump.

again, making his way toward some
rocker ground where he very soon
bagged the brace of hares he wanted. He
tied their legs together, slung them over
his shoulder, and began to descend the
mountain again, usually keeping his eye
on the minute black speck on the loch,
lest there might be occasion again for his
telescope.

pened to 20 by.
"All right" said she, which was no
great thanks
But Mr.. Murray, in the parlor, had
heard the keepers voice.
Ronald" he cried, "come in for
minute will ye?"
Mr.. Murray was a little, gray-haired,
good -natured-looking man, who when
Ronald entered the parlor, was seated at
the table, and evidently puzzling his
brains over blank sheet of paper that
lay before him.
"Your sister /aggie was here this
morning, the innkeeper said-still with
his eyes fixed upon the paper" and she
was saying that maybe Meenie Miss
would like to come with the others on
Monday night-ay, and maybe Mrs. Doug
las herself too as well-but they would
hef too to be asked. And Kott pless me,
it is not an easy thing, if you lief TO write
a letter, and that is more polite than ask

Ronald" he said, raising his eyes and
turning round, would you take a mes
sage ~
"Where ?" said Ronald--but he knew
well enough, and was only seeking time
to make an excuse.
'To Mrs. Douglas and the young lass !;
and tell them we will be glad if they will
come with the@thers on Monday night
for the doctor is away from home, and
why should they be left by themselves !?
Will you tex the message, Ronald ~
How could ! do that ?" Ronald said.
Its you that's giving the party, Mr..
Murray"
but they know you ferry well-and-
! and there will be no harm If they come
and see the young lads and lasses having
a reel together-ay, and 50. < too. And
! If Mrs. Douglas could not be bothered, its
you could bring the young lady-oh yes,
know ferry WELL If you will ask her, she
will come"
81 am sure no." Ronald said hastily,
and with an embarrassment he sought in
vain to conceal o. If Miss Douglas cares
to come at ALL it will be when you ask her
yourself-I mean, ask Mrs, Douglas it's
as simple as simple What for should We
write a letter? Would We send it through
the post tooY That's ceremony for next
door neighbors ~
" But, Ronald, lad, if yc should see the

" No, no. take your own message, Mr.
Murray; they can but give ye IA civil

Mr., Murray was left doubling 1t was
clear that the awful shadow of Glengask
and Orosay still dwelt over the doctors
household; and that the innkeeper was
not at all sure rs To what Mrs. Douglas

the mother called her-should be present
