This was too much for Dora's gravety,

see her? In doubt whether to give him a
saucy, or coldly scornful answer, she
looked up; but, in spite of herself, her
check glowed with bushes, and her eyes
fell before the kindIing glance that met
her own. James smiled to himself
"You have not answered me, he said,
after short pause.

Dora trembled, for his words awakened
echoes in her heart for which she could
nowise account; but pride and prejudice
is strong-stronger than love, and she
only answered:
''Here we are at Mrs. Fleming's. Good

A few days ag,, the Democratic
Convention in California, adopted
with great enthusiasm this resolu.
ton bearing directly upon the Pres.
idenst's policy:
IHhereas. In the election of Grover
Cleveland, president Of the Unied
States, the people gave decided
expression as to the changes in the
government Of this nation; and
whereas, the Republican party has
been in Office for the last quarter Of
a century, to the exclusion of every
Democrat, in subordinate positions
Of trust; therefore, be it
Resolrol, That the Democratic
party Of the State Of California, de
mandS the removal Of every Repub
lican now in office by appointment
except those holding under civil
service reform, and that Democrats
be appointed in their places.

say. 1t expresses the prevailing

Hutchinson, for Congress, and ask
decent and honest men to vote for
him;and now when everybody il

McMUKRIN.


Deputy Collins examination on the
eharg. of shooting young McMurrin
has closed. ami the defendant been DIS
charged, and we must think very pro-
perIy So, according to the evidence
adduced at the Investigation. Inc
testimony went to show that the De-
putty did only what any man OF spirit
and intelligence would have done under
the circum, tances. The one person
who could have made ii clear Whether
or not Collin should have been held
for attempted murder, could not be
FUND. We do not believe that Nc
Murrin was in that alley to waylay the
Deputy, nor for any other unlawful
purpose; on the contrary, we believe
he can explain his presence there on
the fatal night, and make it clear that
whether or not Collin was guilty OF
wrong-doing, he at least is innocent;
and we submit that he owes it to him |
self and to his friends and the commu-
nifty that have stood by him to make |
that explanation. 1t occurs to US as to |
many Of his friends, associates and
companions, Who have known him
intimately since childhood, that the
necessary release and exoneration of
Collin puts McMurrin on the defensive
and demands a statement and showing
Of facts for his own vindication, and
The preservation of his good name and
haracter. Under the circumstances,
md considering the manner in which
judicial proceedings are conducted
lere nowadays, it may be unwise for
he young gentleman to put in public
appearance; but he can at least over
lis own signature, from his hiding
place, shed light upon matters which
ire now dark, and will remain in i'm
penetrable shade until he speaks. The
public, we nave reason TO believe, still
las confidence in McMurrin's absolute
innocence, but his persistent silence will
D time shake that confidence, hence
he necessity for him to speak.

THE TELEPHONE.

The Bell telephone people profess an
inability to understand why the press
and people should all desire the yoiding
of the patent, the telephone company
claiming that it is not extortonate in
its charges. Just how reasonable those
charges are, and one chief reason why
the public is down on" the Bell
monopoly may be explained by show
ing of facts The Bell supplies the New
England Telephone Company With tele-
phones and transmitters which cost
$3S, 600. and for these charges:an annual
rentalof $4,000. Thepoles, wires ana
all the paraphernaIia of the lines belong
to the New England Company. It is
not stated whether or not the Bell
Company, in addition to the exorb1t-
ant charges noted above, also REQUIRED
the New England Company to surren-
der portion of its stock, as it does in
the cases of other local companies. The
people have good cause for wishing the
crushing of the grasping monopoly.
The local companies do not profit from
the greedy charges; indeed, some of the
local companies have hard work to keen
their heads above water, as they are
compelled to pay the outrageous rental
for instruments, whether or not the
latter are In use.

WITH BAD GRACE.

Some weeks ago circulars were SEM
out calling a convention, to meet Ii
Chicago, of third and fourth class post
masters The object Of the gathering is
to take steps looking to an appeal tc
Congress to go to the financial relief OF
these officers. They want more liberal
compensation for their services, clerks
and other advantages.
Now, all this may be proper enough.
1t may be that the postmasters of the
third and fourth classes areinsufficiently
paid; in some instances this is I'M
doubleday the case. But there are two
features of this proposed convention
that have a bad appearance. One Of
them is that nobody is required to
be postmaster against his
will; these men themselves should
be the last to complain. Now
and then there may be an instance
where a man has accepted the office at
the solicitation of the department or of
his own little community, and the hold
ing of it is an actual expense to him, in
that it requires him to neglect matters
that would be more profitable to him.
If there be such instances they are rare.
the overwhelming majority of the post
masters of the lower as well as of the
high classes, having sought the Office
for the compensation, the amount of
which they were acquainted with.
There are not many postmasters who
cannot get rid of the Office in very few
days. The ugliest feature of the move
ment is the fact that it is made now and |
by Democrats. 1t certainly comes with
a bad grace from memberso of that party. |
For twenty-five years the Dem
,crats have been denouncing
Republican Federal officials as
'papsuckers," "paupers." and SO on,
Ind charging that salaries were too
high for the service required and per
ormed. 1t has mean appearance for
he men who have been shoutiugloudest
gainst Republican official extravaganza
o signalize their entrance to the offices
y a request for more pay than they were
Killing that the opposition should have.
t would be well for the Postmaster
ieneral to get list of the postmasters
tho attend the coming convention, and
those who are interesting themselves
/ furtheril the object of the gathering,
nd having uone this, inform the gentle
len that as the Democracy promises
nd means economy in the administra-
on, it cannot afford to keep officers
Id employees who are working
;ainst the fulfilment of this promise
i'd purpose of the party at the same
ne, letting the postmasters know that J
henever they are tired of the duties q.
Id pay of their offices their designations
i'll be accepted. If there is one thing :
ore than another that the Democracy i
ust avoid. if it would save itself, it is
,travagance.in the administration. S
