And quite forgetting the young lady who
was hurrying her preparations upstairs,
he slipped out at the door and sped to the
nearest telegraph Office. whence he dis
patched peremptory message to bis son in
Indianapolis:

Then he sheepishly returned to the lodg-
ing-house, and never so much as limited to
the young lady the desperate step he had
taken.
Thirty hours afterwards, father and son
were clasping hands in the office of the
hotel
What is it, dadi" the young man asked,
eagerly. 'sYou can not tell how your tele-

Taxation for Premiums.

Candidate Harrison continues his argu'

high premium to bondholders and enables
them to earn compound interest on theil
money General Harrison says: "But it i
only the some premium that the bonds are
bringing in the market"
The bonds are bringing 100 because thu
Government has bulled the market. Early
in the summer the four per cents were sell
Ing at 1925. The holders have taken advan
tage of the necessities Of the situation and
forced up the price, as the New York World
predicted they would do.
If Congress had responded promptly te
the Presidents urgent commendation and
reduced the taxes the accumulation might
have been stopped and the surplus used in
paying the appropriations.
Taxation for premiums to bondholdere
and bounties to manufacturers is the policy

CHAPTER xvi

CAPTAIN DANIEL WINTHROP IiAS AN IDEA.
Five years have passed, and we are onco
more at the Orchard Farm. It is glorious
midsummer, and the sun which is blazing in
New York till the reelxing streets are like
fire furnaces is tempering the light breeze
Clair With pleasant warmth that brings
the glow Of health to the palest cheek.
Whenever Captain Winthrop is disturbed
in mind he is wont to retire to the seolusion
Of the pilot-house 10 his front garden,
where, under the inspiration Of a mighty
1neerschaum, he reflects on the ':varicus
turns Of fate below" and generally emerges
with q more placid countenance.
On this occasion his good -natured face
bears (, more than ordinary distressed ex-
preston, and he has sought the additional
solace Of the presence of his wife, who is
ever ready to share his troubles.
SIS it about Harry?" Martha Winthrop
asks, with concerned look in her pleasant
face.
faye, ma, it IS the old trouble
81 am sure, Daniel, we ought to be thank
full for such q good son-so upright, SO
steady in business; why, if he'd only said
tho word he might have gone to Congress. !"
sYes, he is g. good lad,'$' the Captain
sighed, but there's a something come be-
tween him and me that tells me that he is
not my boy Harry that used 10 be-"
"Well, you know what it is"
Eyes, his mind is hankering day and
night after that girl. 1t was a bad hour for
us when YOU invited her to stay at Orchard
Farm"
aMaybe it was,' Martha assented, but
YOU should not bear malice against her, for
the Lord knows her troubles have been
many. Two brothers lost in the war, father
and mother both dead, and only she and
Walter left Of what was once happy
family
ssThey brought their sorrows on their own
heads,;' the old Captain said, grimly
"And to think of that poor girl being now
alone in New York, seeking her bread
among strangers. On, Daniel, think if it
was our Mel in such position"
sf'ts She wasn't bad sort after ALL" the
Captain said, reaectively, putting cloud
Of smoke, which eddied and curled in the
air. VS..
Martha sighed. ''Do you think Harry
hears from her IS often as he used to doa''
she asked presently s
!. 8 Hears from hera Yes, she writes to
ann o1pener than Is good for him. That Is
why he always, rides into town and gets the
letters himself. All, Martha, my boy he'd
. no secrets from his old dad once''
ssBut, n:said the old Captain, ruefully eye
ing his wife, as though half ashamed Of the
concession he was about to make in appear
ing at all concerned anent the fortunes Of
the FObishams. " want you to tell me
tsjustwhy that girl is obliged % live alone in
New ork. You and Harry sometimes put
i ! your heads together, and I suppose he has
Il taken you into his confidence, but he never
says any thing to me now about his ahairs."

SECRET AIRY WHITNEY.

Rumor that He Win Probably Retire nom
the Cabinet in the Spring.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, JAN Bit has come to me ia
three OF four different forms, during the past
two weeks, that Secretary Whitney intends
leaving the Cabinet. It is now known that
while the Secretary in New York for
month or more during the campaign last fall,
that he was not sick, as was reported. Mr..
Whitney was working in politics while he was
absent from his official duties, and the work he
did and the things he heard led him to conclude,
SO the reports say, that he would like to re-
linquish his connection with the administration
before the campaign for the nomination fully
opens, aud before he is committed.
Mr.. Whitney does not like to do
things politically by halves. He wants no civil
service reform or presidential headstrongness to
stand in his way. Both have operated against
his purposes. The President has probably
needed more OF the advice of Mr.. w hitney than
of any other one man in the Cabinet, but the
Secretary OF the Navy has welded very little
influence. He has been unable TO reward any
of his fri ends make himself strong before the
country. Ee prefers to be in the practice OF
law in New York, and to be in a position to make
a dash for the Presidential nomination himself
select his own man fcT the race. 1t was only
to satisfy momentaTy personal ambition that
Mr. Whitney entered the Cabinet. His millions
of wealth and imme schemes in New York
brought him such large and income that
he rolled in luxury, was power in business,
politics and society, and since he has had the ex-
perience and the change which nearly three years
in the Cabinet ave given him and he finds him
self less potential and less commended than be-
fore, and the novelty of the thing having COM
pletely worn off, it is stated that he will very
close of the society season and the demands or
Congress, and go back to New York.

ton of Mr.. Wright's plan of narrowing the
roadway to minimum width, adding the sur
plus to the sidewalks and parking the same, all
the objections to wide streets would be removed
and their beauty increased at the same time.
The cost of parking the strip of ground at
the sides, and of keeping it in order, would
be little in comparison with the expense of
laying that much pavement, and traffic does
not demand a continuation of the present
system, except, perhaps, on half a dozen bust
ness streets, to which the plan would not
apply in any event. Another advantage, and
one we'll worth considering in this dust ridden
town, is the fact that by reducing the road
ways to a minimum width the dust will De
reduced to a minimum quantity, and the
work of laying it, either by public or private
means, also reduced to practicable proportions.
The question of street improvements is one
that will be prominent during the coming
year. Several of the principal thoroughfares
must be, or ought to be, repaved, and the
merits of Mr.. Wright's plan should be tested
upon at least one of them.

EARLY last spring, when the Journal began
to agitate the street-sprinkling question, the
objection was made by the Mayor and MEM
bers of the Council that even if q sprinkling
ordinance were passed at that time it was too
late to secure the necessary carts and other
apparatus before the middle of summer.
Remembering this and the fact that dust lay
over the city for several months last year,
and was the undoubted cause of much sick
ness, the Journal purposes to be in time with
its suggestions this season, and now takes
occasion to remind the new city law makers
that it is their duty to abate the nuisance
If, according to the estimates of last spring,
it will require two or three months to make
the necessary arrangements for sprinkling,
the ordinance providing it cannot be passed
too soon.

They are not. On the contrary, they are
probably not so bad, although the Knights of
Labor, in the Reading and other controversies,
have been and are doing all they can to bring

attention Of the Mail to the fact that there
are laws already upon the statute book against
many forms of these CORNERS" and "pools,"
while there is very general demand that all
of them shall be put under the ban of the law,
and punished as conspiracies against the peo-

THE Kansas Prohibitionists, at a meeting in
Topeka, passed resolutions in which they de-
clare that latter seven years of experience we
are satisfied beyond shadow of doubt that
the safest and best method TO advance the
cause of prohibition is by agitating the Gues-
ton of constitutional prohibition by States
upon the nonpartisan plan," and concludes by
saying that experience has demonstrated the
failure of the third party as means of ad-
vancing the interests of prohibition. The
practical effect of this movement is to distract
and divide the friends of prohibition and
bring disaster and defeat to our cause. We
therefore record our unqualified opposition to
this method of agitation" We commend this
expression to the assistant Democrats of In
diana.
