arose from his seat, promptly fined
Col. Monk $50. and ordered bailiff
TO see that he did not leave the court
until the fine was paid and he had
given his testimony.
The Colonel subsided into seat
with a despairing groan, and for half
an hour listened in dazed sort of a
way TO the dreary cross-examining Of
the first witness by Mr.. Blake. When
he had finished and the second wit
ness for prosecution hadappeared,
Col. Monk again beckoned Mr.. Blake
over to him and engaged him in earn
est conversation. At the end Of five
minutes the young lawyer stopped
down and whispered in his ear: Col
Monk, nothing save your uncondition-
al consent TO my marriage with your
daughter can get you out OF this
court room before one o'clock.
The Colonel gave great gasp. He
was due on the platform at one pre-
cisely. The hands on the clock pointed
TO - 20, and it was a fivemile ride to
the fair grounds.
Again groaning in anguish of spirit
the unhappy man broke the seal oi
another envelope, messenger boy
brought him. 1t read: II have about
given up hope. The people say you
are afraid. Rs admirers have
taken the horses from his carriage,
and are dragging him about the
grounds"
Perhaps at that instant vision OF
tearstained little face that bid him
goodbye that morning rose before
the Colonel. because he dashed his
hand across his face and muttered:
Curse your ingenuity; yes, I'll con
sent: there's my hand upon it. He
walked rapidly over To the clerk OF
the court. handed him $50 and apollo
gized TO the judge for his display OF
temper.
At the same instant Mr.. Blake in
formed the court of a sudden discov-
cry on his part that the Colonels tes-
timonv would not be needed. Where
upon the Judge magnanimously for
gave Col. Monk, remitted the fine,
and permitted him to depart, which
he did with a rapidity that took the
bailifT's breath away. No one seemed
bit surprised when Mr. Blake sud
denly concluded To switch about and
plead guilty, submitting with great
grace 10 n sentence of n six months
Imprisonment, which, in view of the
Nervousness Of his ofTense, was exceed
ingly moderate.
Col. Monk was elected the following
dav by l,4G3 majority. Adele and
Albert were sitting side by side on
sofa in the library aS he came in from
the balcony where he had just been
addressing IA few thousand triumphant
voters. II is TO be feared that the
colonel had for this once departed
somewhat from his wonted absteml-
business. because he swayed almost
imperceptiby from side TO side n he
regarded the guilty pair, murmurlng
You're very shmart flow, Albert
y'ought to go int politics, me boy;
v'ought, really"

How ,. C. Ca" CURED

"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scroi-

WHAT Is
SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms
legs. or feet; which developes ulcers IN the
ewes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness OF
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manl1esta
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, 1t Is the
most general Of all diseases OF affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from II.

workmen have advanced 1888 per cent, of
mechanics, and machinists 80 per cent !,
factory operatives, ETC.. 70 per cert, labor
ers 66 per cent So, then, the augmentation
of wealth has Injured to the benefit Of the
wage-earner and in greater &c sree than
ever before known in any country. Il will
be remembered that not long ago we quoted
from DIR. Atkinson's monograph, in which
he showed that about 80 per cent of the
earnings ofcapital go to the joint factors pro-
duction and labor, while the reward OF the
capitalist is but 10 per cent. However the
figures of the statistician may be used and
Whatever their capacity for varied applica-
ton, it remains true that under the present
system the country has been prosperous.

a LIE OUT OF THE WHOLE CLOTH

General Harrison-as will be seen in the
dispatches this morning-at the labor de-
monstration yesterday pronounced the
" dollar a-day" libel to be falsehood {;
not even a perversion of anything he
might have said but lie out of the whole
cloth. That settles the matter with every
intelligent man who has any regard for
truth. The denial is fortified also, as we
have before shown, by the sworn testimony
of scores of citizens of good repute.

Examiner that Fred. Douglas says he has
been to Indiana, and that he found Harri-
sons dollar-a day expression is hurting

Fred. Douglas never said so, because no
one in Indiana believes the yarn, and even
the Indianapolis Sentinel, Harrison's bitter
est foe, and Chairman Brice, of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, derounce
the lie, and declare that no decent man
will repeat or circulate it. The contempt.
BILE fellows who have been flooding this
city with printed circulars, rehashing the
libel, ought to be drummed out of the COM
munity. Such campaign methods as they
employ are simply infamous.

CERTAINTY AND THEORY.

That was most vulnerable argument
advanced by Secretary Bayard in a recent
speech. He declared that the increase of
our population between 1880 and 1887 was
SIS per cent, while the increase of the
dairy products was rs per cent, the cotton
increase was liz per cent, wool 100 per
cent, pig iron 125 per cent. and coastruc-
tion of railways 223 per cent. ALI of which,
he claimed, is over production-thaI we
are making more than the people of the
country need or can consume" Of course,
the comparison Of percentage of increase OF
nonulation and increase of production can
not he true because the relations are not and
cannot be exact or uniform. But aside
from that the answer returned by MIR.
Blaine is forceful that sit is better to pro-
duce more than we consume, than to have
less than we can consume But, as he
