MIR. Coleman groaned.

Nothing, thank you, my boy

"He's been driving out with Miss

The invalid suppressed another
groan.
They've been looking at dishes
and curtains and things"
Mr.. Coleman rose savagely upon
his elbow This was ten thousand
times worse than he had ever dream
ed.
"The story I've heard, then, is
true, Harry. Mr. Lynde is going to
be married"
"Why, how do you know, Mr..
Coleman? He said it was a secret.
He let me go all over his house yes

cottage. III bet she'll be surprised"
Mr.. Coleman dropped back upon
the pillow with an expression a
Raphael might have despaired of
reproducing. He lay there few
minutes rejecting, then sat bolt up
right, his towel-begirt head head in
bold relief against the mahogany
head-board.

"Bless my soul, Coleman, you're

the doctor, boiling in as his patient
sealed the note. "You had ague
enough last night to shake a sensi-
tive mortal into the grave, but here
you're up and attending to business.
Let's feel your pulse. Rapid yet
but softer, Ifyou're prudent you'll
be out in few days.
Harry rushed off on his errand,
and delivered Mr.. Coleman's billet
into the hands of Miss Rue herself,
who in his private opinion looked
very sober and red eyed.
The missive ran as follaws:-

"Give Dan plenty of chicken. He

NOT A GOOD SIGN.

The Standard Oil company has bought
when he had subjugated all the countries
of which he knew, wept for new worlds
to conquer. The great monopolistic cor
poratlon named above looks around In
like spirit for new channels into which
to divert its capital and employ its ener-
gies. The railroad is the Kentucky
Union line, starting at Lexington and
heading for Cumberland Gap. There is
no law, 1t must be admitted, against the
Standard OH company buying one or a
dozen railroads II it sees proper to do so,
but for all this the public has right to
view such acquisitions with concern.
The line in question IS designed to pierce
the great iron, coal and lumber deposits
of Eastern Kentucky, and when it
reaches its objective point and settles
down to business, 1t is dollars TO dimes
that many months will not elapse before
the people in that section of the country
will begin to feel certain amount
of pressure. Such movements by
this and kindred organizations
must inevitably excite suspicion
and apprehension, and 1t is matter for
regret that this powerful corporation and
its twin sister, the Cotton OIL Trust con.
cern, are directing their attention to the
South as a favorable field for their opera,
tions. The South wants capital to de.
velop its Industries, but not in this way,
and It would be cause tor congratulation
II both OF these great syndicates had kept
out OF the South altogether. The career
of the Standard on company in the East
is enough to inspire distrust of It's every
movement. As for the Cotton Oil Trust
syndicate it has already shown its hand
In the Southern states to a degree that
has convinced cotton growers that its op
erations are inlmical to their interests
And now commences movement to pcl
up pieces of railroad here and there in the
South. 1t isn't a good sign.

Chester Arthur, who was thorough

gresham who eaysh he has made personal

is authority for this statement: "That

Cleveland, and that the next two years
will be so wisely utilized that by the time

THE ANDorER ooNTRogERST.

The charges made against the AndoyeI
professors by DR.. Dexter and others are
attracting much attention. OF course the
belief of the professors concerning few
vague and uuimportant theological tech
nicalities would be OF no consequence
whatever, per Sc; but the institution was
founded by old time theologues who ex'
pressed In their statutes or constitution
certain things that must be taught, such
as mans universal sinfulness and guilt,
salvation by grace alone, a somewhat
narrow view Of the atonement doctrine,
and other matters concerning which
one man is as wise as another
If the professors can be
convicted of teaching something
different, then, of course, the endow-
ments Of the institution arc now misap-
piled. But 1t appears that the professors
do not propose to give up their positions
without a struggle. They have filed their
answers to the complaint, which were,
that 1t should be dismissed, alleging an
absence of jurisdiction, and nine other
specific reasons, but they were all over
ruled. This being the case, Prof. Smythe,
whose answer Is about the same es that
of the other professors, with the excep-
ton Of Prof. Churchill--who claims to be
not under the jurisdiction OF the visitors
says he does not hold many of the
views attributed to him, and adds;

CUTTING is not the only editor who
gets into trouble in Mexico. Dispatches
from Arizona say that Gov Torres Of So
nora has recently caused the arrest Of the
editors OF two papers published In that
state, one at Guaymas, the other at Her
mosillo, for opposition TO the state gov
eminent. Under such an administration
there can be little fear Of libel suits on
the part Of the editors, and the governor
can more effectually stop the paper by
falling the editors than by refusing to
take II from the postofllce.

The pretense that the existing policy Of
tariff robbery has basis in principle is
being rapidly abandoned by the protec-
tionists themselves. Some of them, how
ever, keep up pretense Of this kind.
Senator Frye of Maine for example, says
that while the duties ought to be taken
on raw sugar, the refined article should
not be admitted free, cas- the refining of
sugar comes within the pale of our pro-
tective industries" 1t Stems then, &C.
cording to this high protectionist author
ity, that the raising of sugarcaue and the
boiling Of its juice is without the "pale. !"
But is not the negro who makes sugar in
Louisiana as much entitled to protection
as the sheep-raiser in Ohio or the man in
Maine who catches herring, preserves
them in oleomsrgariue al sells them as
sardines from the Mediterranean?
