Morning was past, and twilight
had gathered thick in the little chap
ell, when Sister st. John stole down
to it, and knelt before the flower
trimmed altar. Her watch way end
ed; after the sharp, brief struggle
Name lay at rest, as white and still
as an Easter lily.
Sister st. John had counted her.
self holy woman; she had renounc-
ed all for the Lords service. and look
ed upon her good works as meriting
heaven; but the wild rebellion surg
ing in her heart that night startled
her from her self-sufficiencv, and re-
vealed her to herself, as she was,
selfish, sinful woman. Names innO-
cent questions, "Was she good? did
Christ love her?" rang in her ears.
That dear child was one of His little
ones, she had no doubt; but could
she, weak and utterly unworthy, ever
hope to meet her again? In that SUI
preme hour, aves and paters were
forgotten. Her soul reached out for
a strength higher, ,supremer than they
could give, and what sincere soul
ever sought, however blindly,in vain!
Through the still room, sweet with
the faint fruity fragrance of the fad
ing flowers, the April wind blew from
the open windows. 1t rustled the
dry leaves of the paper lilies and ros-
es, and sifted the loosened petals of
the cherry blossoms down on the bow
ed head and sweeping veil.
So along the ways of human love
and human sorrow that the Divine
Master himself had trod, a new,
fresh breath blew through Sister St.
Johns heart, and though it passed
over many a dry leaf of old belief and
habit, yet it stirred a living flower
one that should bear fruit through
after years, and in tenderness, and
sympathy and love make her seem to
the sick and sorrowful akin to him
whose name she bore. And in the
shadows Of the Easter cross, through
her aching heart and binding tears,
she caught glimpse, for the first
time, of Christ in His beauty, not
only as earth's Judge, but its Com
forter; her dying Savior, and her
risen Lord d.-Christian at Work.

just so sure as men use n common
speech and think OF the same COM
mon topics, just so sure will their
thought become a common one, their
beliefs akin, and their religious aspi-

And this is why we say that the fu-

Mills bill and the taxes imposed by the internal revenue make up all the money we want. The pres ent Republican law IS AT per cent, and we are told there's differ ence of ' per cent. Now as 40 is to AT, SO as the Democratic party to the Republican party in the matter of protection. It is purely mathematical proposition. We don't make any clamor about pro- lection, but we say, gentleman, to the extent of $40 in the hundred will protect you, we are for it and we make no fuss about it. We don't say we are for it for the sake of protection. We are for it for the sake of taxes; that's it (ap- plause), and 40 per cent levied for taxation will afford the same amount If protection as 40 per cent levied for protection. Won't it?

Let us now see the Democratic policy as already set out in the Mills bill, and I must say that whatever may be said of Mir. Cleveland he deserves credit for making an issue SO clear and so distinct that no Republican can misunderstood it and every Dem- ocrat must face the music or run. He must either fish or cut bait. (Laughter and applause.) For the first time we have a political issue so we'll defined that there is no dodging. The Republicans say, "Hhy, you are free traders" Oh! well, my dear fellow, so we are. The Democratic idea of free trade is inst this: Forty per cent is the average of the Mills bill. and to the extent of 40 per cent the Democratic party are for pro- lection, and then the Democrats want to keep the tax on whisky and tobacco, and the 40 per cent tax assessessed by the Mills bill and the taxes imposed by the

Hugh M. Brooks, alias Walter

Hugh M. Brooks, alias Walter Maxwell, was hanged at St. Louis at S:56 o'clock on the morning of the 10th inst The trial, which attracted great attention through out the country, developed the following facts: Hugh M. Brooks came to St. Louis from England in April 1885. He was afterwards joined by an acquaintance named Charles A. Preller and the pair were constantly together. Preller was last seen alive in MaxwelPs room in the Southern Hotel April 9th, and ou that day Maxwell purchased a quantity of chloro- form from a druggist, saying he was using it in experiments, and the next day he made number of purchases, spending money freely. He left that night for San Francisco and afterwards sailed for New Zealand. The strong odor coming from Max wells trunk, which he left behind, caused an investigation and Prell- CTS body was found in the trunk. There was a cut on the breast and card Tn the trunk bearing the inscription, ''So perish all traitors to a great cause" Maxwell was easily traced and when he arrived at Auckland he was arrested and returned to St. Louis. The de- fense made at the trial was that he accidentally caused Preller's death in the use of chloform, but he was convicted and sentenced by the court to be hanged. Strenuous efforts were made to save the mur- derer's life, the last appeal coming from the English government. Governor Morehouse, however, refused to interfere and he paid the extreme penalty of his crime. Henry Landgreff, who murdered his sweetheart, was executed al the same time.

Judge Barnes has rendered his decision in the agreed case of Judge Easton vs. the Board of Supervisors. The status of the case is this: Judge Easton claimed twenty-five cents for each voter registered by him and sent bill to the Board for the amount due on a number of registrations. The Board would not allow the claim, holding that the law did not allow them to pay for such service, and the case was laid before Judge Barnes for settlement. His decis- ion is quite lengthy but is Tn sub stance that the clam of Judge Easton is a valid one and must be paid. This settles this important point, and now it behooves the various justices of the peace throughout the county to start the mill to grinding out two-bit pieces. Prospector.

Democratic Ter. Convention.
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL CoMNITLEE, 2nV ONowvrrIR AuO IaQS

SoLoxoNvILLE, Aug. 6, 1888.
 The Democrats of the Territory of Arizona are requested to hold convention in their respective counties of delegates elected at primary election to be held in the different precincts therein, under the direction ot their county central committees, for the pur- pose of electing delegates to the Territorial Democratic Convention, to be held at Tue son on the THIRD DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1888, which convention will nominate a can- didate Of the Democratic party to represent the Territory in the Congress of tho United States, and transact such other business it may deem proper.
 The appointment of delegates to said Ter ritorial convention from the several coun- ties Is as follows, viz; Apa h". 6: Cochise. F; GIla, 8; Graham, 0; Maricora, g; Mahave, 2; Pinal, 1; Pima, 8; Yavapai, F and Yuma :. Total, 64.
 In view of the fact that a bill is HOW pend- ing in Congress whereby. if it becomes law. 1t will be imperative upon the President to appoint citizens of the territories to fill the federal offices there in, it might therefore be judicious for the Territorial Democratic Convention to express its preference for the persons to fill these offices, especially as it is not probable that full representation of the Democratic party will assemble again within :the next two years.

Sections of the fence are gone. I was down there the day that the Kokomo gang called. They had a watermelon picnic in the hall, and Tn their ecstasy of delight threw rinds at one another until it made me sick. l saw one of the crowd rub a watermelon rind on the rail of the balustrade, and straddling it he slid down with the whoop of a Comanche Indian.

It is worth trying: Take one tea spoonful each of black and Cay enne pepper, pulverize and mix in small quantity of molases, and set it in your room.

Had P. J. Bolan either manhood or self-respect he would not have signed his name a re {rnsn of the Territorial Cen Com6ittee, but on the contrary would have sent in his resignation to the com mittee and withdrawn from the party. Not only is he bitterly opposed to the territorial admin istration, but, as can be easily proven, he is an expressed oppo- nent of Cleveland and the Demo cratic policy. While we can and do respect an honorable foe, traitor in the camp and a rene- gade to the party is not fit to occupy the honorable position he does in it's councils. The commit tee should demand his resignation if it has any respect for the party.

The cry that wages in this coun- try will be affected by the pro- posed tariff reform is disproved in the light of facts. England has the lowest tariff and pays the highest wages in Europe, and there the wage-worker's condition is being improved daily as emi- grafton from that country goes on. is a free trade continent. Wages are higher there than any where else on earth. The Cana dian tariff is higher than ours.
 Wages are lower in Canada than they are here. The Mexican tariff is much higher than ours. A good man, if he can get work, can earn 25 cents a day in Mexico. This is even lower than MT. Harrison's standard, for he was willing to allow S1 a day to a workingman. In Pennsylvania the highly pro- tected iron industry pays it's lab orers 70 cents per dayl The con- dition of wages has always been a complete answer to the assertion that high tariff makes high wages. and yet the Republicans expect to elect Harrison on the false and exploded statement. The work ingmen may rest assured that his compensation will be affected only
 by the law of supply and demand.
