problem which had already presented
itself to me was brought to my mind
more clearly than ever. How, / asked
myself, could a sensible man-one whom
the citizens. not only the ignorant peas
ants, but the intelligent and educated
people, intrusted with their interests be-
cause they considered him tho most
capable and honest man among them
how could such q man be driven almost
to monomania by the murder Of a ped
der? The continual contemplation of
some dark problem might, of course,
cause such mental alteration. On the
other hand, the peaceful life of those
m~ountaineers was o simple and too
healthy to bring on mental troubles
which result from the overwork, ambi-
ton. intemperance and excuses incident
to life in the capitals.
Thus l quickly argued with myself while
Arnaud stood there rooted to the spot, as
though spellbound by his memories. l
looked at him again. His face was still
expressionless, but the sweat rolled down
his cheeks, end in his look there was
something terribly tragic. Then q hor-
rible suspicion, which perhaps had al
ready been outlined in my mind, sud-
denly presented itself to me, and in
s~tinctively without reflection l ex-
claimed:
But, you wretch. it was you who
killed him."
Arnaud turned toward me, his eyes
wide open, his form almost erect. A
little foam came to his lips. He clinched
his fists and came toward me, and then,
as I retreated, he threw himself upon the
ground, exclaiming in hoarse voice:
"Ah! do not denOunce me! Do not de-
nounce mel"
He dragged himself along the ground.
At last his features underwent a change
and his convulsed face. contorted mouth,
dilated nostrils and enormous eyes
showed his terror. Something of the
fear that possessed him was communi-
Gated to me, and at the same time / felt
great pity for him. What crime deserved
this long period of torture? What pun
ishment could compare with it? Gesticu-
lating wildly, he repeated his prayer in
a husky voice:
do not denounce me! Do not de-
nounce maj"

WRITING ON THE WALL.
Tinnid Tories Frightened by the
Growing Strength Of the
NatiOnalists.
Vigorous Measures Alone will
Avert their Doom when
Parliament Meets.
Accident to the Gzar's Train by
which Twenty-one are
Killed-Foreign News.

LONDON. Nov. 1.-As the time for the
re-asselnbling Of parliament approaches
it becomes more and more apparent that
the Conservatives are resolved to keep
irish matters out of the bounds Of dis
cussion as much as possible during the
session and devote themselves to such
legislation for England and and Scot
land as will tend to strengthen the party.
The loss of several seats within the last
year has frightened some of the more
timid of the Tories into the belief that
the handwriting is upon the wall, and
even the sto,1test hearted ones see the
necessity of prompt and vigorous meas
ures to prolong the partys official life.
AS a means Of convincing the people
that the Conservative party by it's action
in Ireland had averted disaster to the
country in the shape of wholesale MUIR
der, arson. ETC.. the Parnell commission
was thought to be a God-send. but the
rulings OF that body on the admission OF
a certain line Of testimony and the grow
ing weakness Of The Times against the
Parnellites have destroyed their reli-
ance upon that method OF making party
capital and set the governments adhe-
rents to casting about in new fields.
On the other hand. the Nationalists ap-
pear to gain confidence daily, and make
10 concealment Of their determination to
force an Irish measure Of some kind
upon the house in order to precipitate a
debate. IT is claimed by many of the
leaders. and no doubt believed by all,
that every Irish speech in parliament is
worth two Oh the stump, and for this
reason debate is what is most wished for.
The Liberals appear to be perfectly will
ing to actl1,iesce in the Nationalist pro-
gramme. but stand ready to point out to
their more impetuous colleagues the
danger Of obstructive tactics at this
time. If the government brings in Eng
lish remedial legislation the measure. or
measures. ought, they believe, to receive
the support ore the Irish party as means
of spiking the enemy's guns.

grave. he had kept every appointment
save one in the campaign so far and was
TODAY the better for it. Mr.. Thurman
then discussed the Mills bill at some
length and proceeded to correct what he
termed = few of the gross errors of
cur political enemies" There WAS
nothing in this great manufacturing
city. he said, that would not amply
protected under the provisions Of the
Mills bill if it were to become law.
The speaker then referred to the ques.
ton OF capital and labor, a question, he
said. that also touched upon the tariff.
When the laborer receives reasonably
hene wages he is a cOntented man, but
when trod0en down, so to speak, under
the foot Of nonopolies. he complains,
and justly SO. Mr.. Thurman did not
want to be understood as wishing to
create feeling OF ill-will between the
manufacturers and the labOring men OF
Wheeling or anywhere else. .but he would
say that the men who made the wealth
of this country were entitled to fair re-
ward for their'labOr. The Republican
party professed an attachment for the
laboring man by taxing him on every
thing he wore from the crown of his
head to the soles of his feet. The Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Thurman asserted. was
the real friend Of the laboring men.
Democratic principles enabled him to
hold up his head as high as the highest,
and made him the equal of all other
men.
Mr.. Thurman then reviewed the ac-
ton of the house and senate and the
president on the Chinese question. the
tariff bills. the fisheries treaty, and other
legislation and referred also to the Milr-
Gibson v est correspondence.

PRESS COMMENTS.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-The morning
papers make the following editorial COM
ments on President Cleveland's action
regarding the Sackville incident:
The Sun: If Mr.. Cleveland has erred
in his treatment of this annoying Incl
dent, it has been ON the side of over de-
iberation: and yet it may be thought
that the humiliation of the British gov
ernment is greater, since it failed to take
advantage of the loop-hole of escape
offered it by Mr.. Cleveland.
The World: It is we'll that Lord Sack
vile is to go. The lesson will not be lost
upon other distinguished gentlemen Of
the diplomatic persuasion. England
will think better Of us, and the Republic
can politicians who have been counting
British minister will probably learn that
things.
1he Tribune: 1t has taken the presi-
dent ten days to find out that something
had to be done about it. At last he has
done what was demanded from the very
first But the president waited too long.
The real importance Of the incident lies
in the conclusive proof of the English
feeling and Judgment it furnishes. and
that is not in the least affected by the
presidents S tardy action.
The Herald: What we believe the
better sense of the American people will
conclude. is that the president has al
lowed his temper to get the better OF his
Judgment
The Times: The incident is ended in
manner altogether creditable to the
administration at Washington and with
the least possible harm.
At the Expense of Honor.

deliberately offensive kind in relation to
Lord Sackville. Mr.. Cleveland has saved

account of President Clevelands retalia-
