THE FIRST NEWS.

When Alick Fraser heard what had
happened-heard from poor Jocks pallid
lips that, through information given to
the police by Sandy Hill, warrant was
out against Malcolm, his indignation knew
no bounds.
''The ungrateful scoundrell" he roared.
"Why did he not come, then, with the
story to me?"
at was the reward Mr.. Biddulph of
fered, / suppose, tempted him, answered
Jock, with heavy sigh.
Then Alicl6 cursed Mr.. Biddulph and
the reward and Sandy all in one breath.
"But don't believe word of it," he
added. cts a concocted story-concocted
between that villain Sandy Hill, who
would do anything for money, and Bid
dulph. have always believed Biddul phi
guilty, and always shall"
But Jock shook his head.
Its no use trying to deceive ourselves,
Alick," he said sadly; ''poor Malcolm
confessed his guilt to Nora Stewart-but
she's true as gold"
t was a terrible blow to Alick Fraser's
vain, proud heart to hear these words.
His family pride was very strong, and his
conscience, (which was not a tender one)
smote him. He knew at least who, indi-
rectly, had caused this heavy blow to fall
on his brothers household, and he left
Airdlinn swearing to infict condign pun
ishment on the traitor Sandy Hill.
But before he went he had a word to
say to his brother which showed there
was some good feeling left in this hard
nature still.
"If Malcolm actually confessed to Nora
Stewart" he said, ''that he committed this
mad act, he must never again set foot in
Scotland. And he'll want money; L am
ready and willing, Jock, to provide him
with funds, as l know you are not over
burdened with wealth, so long as he stays
away"
''Nora Stewart gave him a hundred
pounds to go away WITH" answered the
laird; "this, of course, l must repay"
"Don't bother your head about it'll
pay the young lady; but if he's got hun
dred pounds, that's plenty for him at
present. However, I'll see Nora Stewart,
and will arrange with her how money has
to be sent to him. His secret is safe with
her, unless she tells that Biddulph."
"But for Biddulph, poor Malcolm would
have been arrested now" answered Jock,
with heavy sigh; and Alick Fraser, after
having flung few more oaths at Sandy's
head, parted with his brother. and re-

Mr.. Cleveland's ability to administer with
fitting dignity the great Office of president Of
the United States has been tested. The record
of his administration is open to the people. 1t
has been serutinized by friends and by foes
alike with minute attention which has left no
defects unconcealed. and has made known
many virtues which even his adversaries have
applauded 1t is faint praise of him to say
that he has been scrupulOusly faithful to the
laws of the land, but he has been much more
than this. He has been vigilant in the per
formance of his duties to protect the individual
from the oppression of ill-regulated power, cor
porate or otherwise, and to shield the people
from an injudicious or wasteful exercise of the
legislative function.

The Grand old Roman.


OF Allen G. Thurman it is almost impossible
even for his political opponents TO speak with
out fguratively taking off their hats in honest
appreciation of his ability, integrity, and Iowa
bleness. 1t is remarkable that a man of his
gLeat force of character, boldness of belief and
utterance, and absolute purity of life in pub
lie career of nearly half a century should be
almost without an open political enemy. There
are many men and interests in politics that
hate Thurman like poison, but none of them
dare stand in the open sunlight without ex-
posing some motive that would rebound 10 his
honor. He has been the victim of many po-
litical intrigue within his own party and in his
own state, but the victories that his rivals have
won have brought 10 them no credit and to
him no humiliation. No disappointment where
he had a right 10 expect much Of his party has
ever drawn from this old Roman a harsh or
bitter word. He has accepted sights which
would have soured other natures, as though
they were benefits, and underall circumstances
has borne himself like a true gentleman.

ination is the offer TO the nation of a continue
ton of good government All the argument
there always is against change merely for
the sake of a change" makes for his reelection.
Every one OF the many merits of his admins
traton is positive argument for its continual
ton. Nothing is put in jeopardy by the idea
of his reelection. A conspicuous punishment
TO right doing would be administered
by his defeat. The vials of sectional dis
trust would be reopened The hatred of
the South by the North would be recorded.
All the benign settlements of fraternity would
be disturbed. The nation would GO back from
brotherhood TO bitterness. The business ar
rangements of the country would be displaced.
The completion of the fabric of reconciliation
would be arrested. The transition the republic
is making from the traditions of war TO the
methods Of peace would be stopped. The hands
would be turned back on the dial OF progress.
By the defeat of Cleveland lrepubicanism
would feel it had a warrant for rapacity and
seetionalism, and democracy would be de-
livered to the domination of its worst elements.
The result would make for error and wrong in
both parties.

The Locust Invasion.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Dispatches from several
points in Illinois and Iowa say that the locusts
which are making their appearance in such
great numbers are not molesting fruit grain
and vegetables as yet The only damage done
is the Killing of young and tender trees, many
of which die from the incisions made by the
insects in depositng their eggs. The secretary
of the Iowa state agricultural society says he
has received information from Muscatine that
there are millions of locusts in that country,
but no especial damage has yet been reported.

Mr.. Cleveland has showed that democratic
control has not injured the country. The con-
trary was feared by million alarmed citizens,
whom demagogues had misled and scared. The
allaying of that apprehension reduces the SUI

minds 10 reason and clears them of cant and
humbug. Not one of the evils predicted has
come TO pass. Politics has been relieved of

Respect Gray Hairs.

The land is not given overmuch, indeed 1t is
given all too little, to reverence of gray hairs
and long-ganered wisdom. The haste to ac-
quire private fortune is not more characteristic
of American life than the eagerness TO push at
early age for the public honors that in times Of
national quietude fall in other countries 10 those
citizens whose worth has been proven by life
time of devotion TO the public service. Young
America, selfishly impatient of what he de-
scribes as old-fogyism, is constantly struggling
10 push his elders from their stools.

them to be good law-abiding citizens,
who have the respect and confidence OF
every one in the neighbOrhood. While
many depredations have been committed,
and the whole surrounding country has
been in state of excitement and tumult
bordering on IA genuine young war, peace
has again been restored, and the belligercnt

further trouble is anticipated. The strange,t
part of the whole affair is that that Hat
fields and McCoys are related.
CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK
"The recent outbreak seems to have
been caused by parties in Pike county, Ken
lucky, resurreciing old indictments against
the Hatfelds, which were found against
them five years ago. The Pike county par
ties went to Frankfort, Ky, and had
rewards offered for the Hatfields and came

WOMEN OUT OF POLITICS.
They Can Vote Only on School Mat

MADISON, WIS, Jan. 3l.-The women of
Wisconsin were defeated in the Supreme
Court to-day, the court holding, in an
elaborate opinion, that the Legislature of
1885 did not for moment contemplate the
same suffrage to females which males en-
10Y, but on the other hand meant to re-
strict female voting to school matters only,
as specified in the law. The case was that

of Racine, who at the last
spring election refused either to receive
the vote of Mrs. Willis for Mayor, City
Clerk, Comptroller, Aldermen and Super

Mrs. Willis claimed such right under the
laws of 1885. and Immediately sued the in
spectors for 5000 damages. She won her
suit in the Circuit Court for Racine county,
