CHAPTER XXI.
OUT, DAMNED SPOT.

Philip dipped his pen in the inkstand He
was sitting in his study at home, later in the
afternoon than usual Nothing unimportant
could have detained him so long from his fac
tory, and, besides, there was a look of unusual
solemnity on his face. Philip Breton had just
written his will. 1t was very elaborate in
strument, prepared from memoranda of the
ablest lawyer in the state. A moment ago he
had signed it, and the names of the witnesses
were not dry yet He had been uneasy for a
long time that the destiny of the thousand
creatures who worked in his mill, and of their
successors forever should hang on SO feeble
thread as q human life, which might snap be-
fore he could give spontaneous energy to the
plans that now only lived in his BRAIN He
wrote in large, plain letter across the back of
the paper, THE Last Will and Testament of
Philip Breton Then he read the whole in
strument over again-the magma charta
of Bretonville. How glad the village
would be when his will came to be
known-when it was found that the
mill owner had not been satisfied with
what he could do in his lifetime, but had
placed his benevolence on perpetual foot
ing, had reached back his hand from his
grave to shower blessings on the laboring
poor God had committed to his charge.
Some men had wives and children to work
Sr, to defend, to hope for. If he had been
happy, and blessed with love and kisses, he
might have been like the rest, never listening
to the groans Of his poor under burdens too
heavy for them to bear. His heart would
perhaps, have been full Of the little wants
and trivial discomforts of his own circle, his
mind busy with plans for the future of his
sons, while thousand dreary hopeless lives
wore themselves out in the struggle for their
scant bread, with never one pitiful thought
from him.
Philip Breton was relieved now that he
had made his will. He folded it carefully
and put it in his inner breast pocket. Per-
haps, he thought sadly enough, if he should
die this moment it would be better for Bre-
tonville, for his will might waver while he
lived He might not be able to sustain his
high tone, but once dead, nothing could be
changed. The words that an idle stroke Of
his pen could make null and void when once
his hand became rigid in death, would leap
forth from the written page into potent
everlasting life. Suddenly he remembered
another occasion when, as he had sat at this
very table, he had been interrupted by the
servant bringing him a letter-no, it was a
note from Bertha And he had been very
happy, fancying the shadow had gone from
his life. He just had opened this very table
drawer when the maid had tapped at the
| door. He had been searching for something
at the time. Oil itSwas one of Bertha's pict-
ureS. and it must be here still In moment

Louis Suizbacher has received a
letter from friend in New York state,
who is democrat in politics and a
large manufacturer, which states that
all the signs at present point to the

We are glad to SEQ that Senator
Quay is giving so much attention to
the preventation of democratic frauds
in this city. Here is the key to the
situation. 1t was the solid south
and the saloons of New York City
that put Mr.. Cleveland in the White
House. There has not been an hon.
est election here for 20 years, if there
ever was one. The democrats rely
on the frauds in lower wards of Man
hanttan island to turn the scale
against the intelligent republican
voters of the intcrior.-New York

Mr.. Patterson has dropped the
brass-tag issue like hot potato. His
magazine was exploded when the
public was informed that in his own
mine In Boulder county, the Fox &
Patterson, the same kind of tags is
used as in all other coal mines of the
state. AS a matter of fact, as we
have frequently shown, workingmen
are not known, by number in any
mine in Colorado, and Mr.. Patterson
was entrapped in his own disposition
to play the demagogue In the matter.

In the swaling swirl of the sough-

From the home of the hootfui owl.
Now swivel me swift from the

The Presidents abuse of the veto
power was never more forcibly set
forth than it was by Blaine in his
speech at Detroit on the third inst.
He SAID that lnasmuch as it required
two-thirds vote of both houses of
congress to pass a bill over the Pres
ident's veto it virtually gave him the
Legislative power of Is senator's and
81 representatives. This power SO
extraordinary was naturally used
with great caution by our earlier
presidents. In the first forty years
of national government, measuring
from Washington to Jackson, the
veto power had been used six times.
In the next forty years the veto was
used so times, and of this 80 over SO
of them were by democratic presi-
dents. So that party which processes
to be SO intensely democratic has
been uniformly one which resorted
to one man power to thwart the pop
ular will. Up to March 4, 1885,
when the present president of the
United States was inaugurated, the
veto power of the government had
been used in all about 95 times.
That was from 1889 to 1885, one
hundred years lacking four, and now
Cleveland in three and half years
has used the veto over three hundred
times or had when left New York
day before yesterday. How many
times he has used it since l do not
know. This speech was vociferously
cheered showing plainly that the
vast audience was with the speaker
and against the president and his
veto policy. The democracy judg-
ing by these manifestations can have
but little hope of carrying Michigan.

One of the most significant fea-
lures of the campaign is the general
enthusiasm among the ladies for the
republican ticket. Women have al
ways been on the right side of all
questions, and their moral aid in this
campaign is most encouraging to re-
publicans. The democratic free trade
policy is a threat to supersede the
American home by the European
peasants hovel. The home is WON.

is doing all IN her power to repel
INVASION.

How is this for democratic testi-
mony? On June goth, five days be-
fore he was nominated, the Newark,
Ohio, Advocate, Democratic organ,
and now reviler of everything Re-
publican, said: "General Benjamin
Harrison is in the prime of life, and
in full vigor of both body and mind.
He is a Christian man of the best
type; citizen of noble integrity of
character; man of clean life and
reputation, a model husband aud
father, indeed, an American without
fear and without reproach." Even
the most hlde-bound Bourbon organ
in the land daren't say as much for
Mr.. Cleveland. 1t would be laughed
out of town if it did.
Bent County register., 1888-11-03

No man was ever in fercer rays of
less charitable light than General
Harrison has been in for nearly four
months. During that time thou.
sands of experts, urged on by hatred,
by self-Interest and by democratic
money, have mercilessly scrutinized
every act and almost every though,
of the man. And what did they
find? They found:
l. That General Harrison favored
cheap Chinese labor. The charge
would not stand. 1t had weak
back. Colonel Brice fed it llberally v
and Senator German gave it electric
baths. But 1t was no use. The poor
thing died many weeks ago.
2. That he said one dollaris enough
pay for laboring man. Millionaire
Scott tried his own Morey-letter treat
ment on this lie, but Joe Mcdonald
don't hold any of that $4,000.
8. That he once spoke slightingly
of the rish-Americans. This died a.
bcrn-in and it wasn't thought worth
while to hold funeral over it.
4. That he is fgure-head for
Blame. This was killed by the Har-
rison addresses. The people didn't
go to see Cleveland, because they
have encyclopedias at home.
5. That he is the grandson of his
grandfather. That charge sticks.
While democrats have been search-
ing with loaded microscopes and
poisoned probes, the great mass of
American voters have been gazing
into the Indianapolis glare. And
what have they seen?
/. They have seen man of high
Christian character in the midst of a
typical American home.
2. They have seen this man grow
steadily in the hearts, in the minds,
and in the estimation of the people.
3. They have seen him visited and
honored by business men, by trades.
men, by professional men, by labor.
ing men, by neighbors, by strangers,
as no other candidate was ever hon.
ored before.
4. They have seen by his bearing,
by his actions, and by his speeches
that he is worthy to lead, that he is
leading, and that he is his own man
5. They have seen that the grand
son of an honored graadsire ls a
grand man, fitted in every way to be
the head of the grandest nation OF
the globe.

Tom Patterson says that the pro-
tectiye tariff is the direct cause of all
trusts and is responsible for them.
Tom is a free trader, but he does not
explain how free trade would affect
the coal trust of which he is mem

coal quite recently, nor does he tell
how free trade would stop the Den

Harrison: He Wears Well.

From not one section of this broad
land does there come the slightest
dissatisfaction with the national Re.
publican ticket, or with the princi-
pies upon which it stands. Just
think of this condition a moment.
Perhaps, though, If you aren't busy,
you better think of it more than a
moment, for it is rare that such a
condition obtains to be thought about.
IL is an omen of success not to be
lightly considered. Not since Lin
coin ran the second time has there
been such unanimity among Repub-
licans. You remember the result
then?
One of the strongest reasons why
things are now as they are is the pc
culiar availability of General Harri.
son as the head of the ticket. The
New YORK delegation at Chicago
discovered this fact when it came
unanimously to his support. Indiana
knew it all the time. The Pacific
coast learned 1t within day after
the Chicago Convention adjourned.
The entire country has been fully
convinced. of it ever since it got ac-
quainted with the republican candi-
late. No man ever came suddenly
INTO overwhelming prominence and
wore so we'll.
What did the country discover in
General Harrison? 1t discovered:
l. A man whose training had won
derfully well htted him for Execu-
tive work.
,. a man who Is himself the best
possible representative of the pro-
gressive American.
8. A man whose public and private
life consistently bear ont his firm,
but always modest Christian pro-
frssion.
4. A man who believes in consti-
lutional protection, not simply for
the sake of protection, but for the
sake of American workingmen.
5. a man who is not iemagogue
in his healthful interest in the labor
ing classes, for he has always been a
poor man, is a. poor man to-day, and
has always worked hard for mod
est living.
8. \ man who has the backbone
to be his own boss.
I. A man who will be real Civil
Service reforner, not sham one, be-
cause he says he will be-and Ber ia
min Harrison's word is where the
republican party has put United
States bonds-above suspicion.
1t is no wonder the republicans
are united on such a man. Nor is it
any wonder that they have drawn to
their side thousands who have not
hitherto acted with them. Harrison:
he wears we'll.

The Colorado Springs Gazette hits
Mr.. Cleveland and his administration
a hard blow in the following para
graph: David 9. McGill, who
fought at Fort Fisher and left = leg
on the field. had salary at New
York Mills of six hundred dollars.
1t gave him a reasonable support.
He has been removed and an able
bodied democrat, who never smelled
powder, was appointed in his place.
AT parade at that place on Monday
night, on one of the banners was in
scribed, "Fort Fisher. Remember
Major McGill." There was proba-
bly, no reason for his removal under
civil service reform rules. 1t was
dictated simply by partisan feeling.
If there were democratic MANNED
soldiers needing places and there
were not enough to go around, it
would not seem SO bad to give the
democratic soldiers chance as we'll
as the republican. But when wound
ed republicans are turned out of of
fee to give the Office to able-bodied
men who never fought, it shows that
the pledges of the administration are
not very we'll kept. There are two
sides to this pension legislation that
was shown when the matter was un-
der discussion. No one party was
unanimous. But when it comes to
the question OF giving employment
to soldier who il MANNED and
citizen who is not, other things being
equal, there should be no hesitation"

The wisest thing all wage-oarners
can do at the coming national and
state elections is to vote the republi-
can ticket. The best labor party in
this country is the one that fosters
and protects labor's means of sure

party is the party of the protective
tariff-the republican party.-Toledo

The only market we can certainly
control is our own, and this. from
the fact of being the best in the
world, should be most jealously
guarded against encroachments in
the interest of foreign rivals. If out.
side markets really offered tho rich
reward that free trade advocates hold
up before the eyes of American
voters, it is quite safe to conclude
that those foreigners in whose inter.
est free trade is urged would be less
persistent in their efforts to get :
hold upon the trade of this country,
