Dimly through the gloom of the
gorge they followed their odd guide.
From what danger unseen was she con-
Quoting them? They never stopped to
ask themselves, but kept on.
She might be leading them into a
trap. So intent We're they on solving
the mystery they never gave that fear
thought.
On and on she led them Over hard,
uneven, rocky paths, over dangerous
chasms where single misstep would
have proved certain death, and on into
the dark mountains they went.
At last the ghostly guide stopped
under large, shelving crag that iutted
out over considerable space of the
gorge below. The pine trees of funereal
darkness sighed and moaned, like lost
spirits, i'll the mountain wind. Wild,

"Here YOU are SAFE"
Earnest, who could control his curl

gloom that divided them from their
guide:
"Are you spirit OF flesh? For Gods
SAX, speak, entreat you!"
A low, silvery laugh answered him.
A specter taught Oh, horlible

men did as requested. They leaned

The young men felt thrill of hor-
ror run through them.
She went on:
Such dark deed really did occur
years ago in this very gorge Taking
advantage of that fact and the super
stition of the natives, my captors have
made me play specter on the cliffs
around this crag."
An exclamation of surprise burst
from the listeners and Earnest asked:
"Your captors? Who are they?
Tell us and we will gladly rescue you.
Listen. My father and 1 were en-
camped near here nearly two years
ago. One dark night band of men
dressed as Utes attacked us. They
robbed us of everything, sparing our
lives only on our promise to go quietly
with them to their mountain Businesses.
Life was dearer than death, so we ac-
cepted the chiefs terms. Our captors
proved to be band of robbers, white
outlaws and half-breed fends. Most
of the men have Indian wives and live
lin the mountains near this gorge. 1

fashion. My father has been confined

in their dark acts. Of course he re-

THE JoLLIFICATTON.

The Independent Workingmen held jol
LITIGATION at the theatre last evening. It
was an enthusiastic affair, as the occasion
demanded. TIE men rejoiced because
there was something to be joyful over.
They had won a great victory. The tri-
umph was less in the matter of Offices gal
ned than in the blow tina twas struck atcor-
rupt boss rule in politics. The three
or four Offices are important to
the public, but not so impor-
tant as the fact that few working
men had the courage to proclaim their in
dependence of the party lash which had
been so freely used to keep them in line;
not SO important as the circumstance that
handful of courageous toilers went out in
defiance of the ring politicians, and on the
stump and at the polls asserted
their manhood as American citizens.
That going out and that DECLARE
ton of independence we interpret as
marking the beginning of a new era in
local politics. A few having broken away
and given vigorous kick against the cor
rupt and rule-or-ruln gang, others will fol-
low, and in little while the machine will
be smashed and the gang dispelled, its ma
nipulators being dethroned and driven out.
A month ago the Liberal bosses were all
powerful and supreme in that organization.
They spoke and the herd obeyed; they di-
rected and the crowd fell into line; they
consulted among themselves, arrived at g
conclusion as to what should be done, and
their blind dupes carried out the orders
without question. Tho little revolt Of
workingmen ha, left the bosses desperate
and almost stranded. They feel that theil
power has been broken, and they realize
that they can never recover their authority
They have been successfully defied anC
that means their destruction as party
lee 1ers.
In our opinion, the action of the working
men at the late election was the beginning
of The end of the Liberal party, for with
out the support and assistance of the mer

ton will be too weak and insignificant Il

SCORCRING LETTERS.

THE newspapers of Pennsylvania rep
resent Mr. RUDOLPH BLANKENBURG of Phil
adelph.a as an active and earnest Repub-
lican of wealth and high social position,
but whoever and whatever he is he is not
in sympathy with the boss rule in that
state, and doesn't propose to train with his
party under the lash of Senator QUAY.
Last week he published two letters over
his own name, one addressed to QUAY, the
other to the Senator's man Friday, GEORGE
w. DELAMATER, Republican nominee for
governor. Unless these apostles of cor
ruption in politics have the hides Of rhi-
noceros, Mr.. BLANKENBURG's letters will
get under the cuticle and prove very an
noying. He calls Senator QUAY's attention
to the fact that some of the most response
BILE papers in the country have openly
charged him with embezzlement while state
treasurer, and he has not even denied the
ate himself in the courts by instituting
suits for libel against his accusers. lMr. B.,

by some of those Republicans who are in

to raise a fund of sufficient amount to in
stitute and push suits for civil and criminal
| libel" and asks to be informed if that plan
of vindicating the chairman Of the Repub
lican national committee meets with Quay:
approval.
The letter to Mr.. DELAMATER is ever
more singing in its nature. Mr.. B., in
forms him that he cannot support his can

reason that four months ago he CD wa.

later the population had increased

population more than doubled, running up
to sc, 7Se, an increase of 46,513, or 115 per

We doubt that there is another state or
territory in the union which will make a
better appearance in the census volumes
of the past fifty years. Some will show
greater increass of population, but the
growth has been sudden and by spurts,
while Utah has gone steadily forward, all
I the time gaining but never increasing SO
rapidly as to suggest an unhealthy growth.
| In this connection it will also be
interesting to note that Utah contains
more people than three sovereign states in
the union, the three being Nevada, Idaho
and Wyoming. These three states have in
Congress nine votes-six in the Senate ano
three in the House-and participate in the
work of making laws for the nation anc
electing the President and Vice-President
while Utah, vigorous, healthy, sturdy
progressive commonwealth, with greater
population than the three combined, is mo-
allowed voice in Congress, is permitted
no share in the choosing of the nations ex
ecutive, and is even denied the right t.
govern herself. The discrimination is no
merely unjust, but is glaringly outrageou
and cruel. 1t is not surprising if harsl
things are sometimes said about the mel
who are responsible for this wicked dis
/ elimination. s.

GREENVILLE, Miss. March 3l.-The

Huntington are now letting out an
immense volume of water upon the
already inundated country. The
Easton break has wldened to 1900 feet
When the levee gave way there
was twenty feet of water standing
against it. This place is at the foot
OF Choctaw Bend, where the river is
very wide. This opening, with the
natural fall of the land in that region,
will create tremendous current and
the volume of water that will pass
through would overflow the banks of
a good sized river.
The break at Huntington is also re-
ported as widening very fast, and is
now from 600 to 500 feet wide, and is
still charging.
The new volume of water flowing
directly upon the outpour from Ottutt's
break has caused the water to be as
high on the inside of the levee about
Offutt's as it is on the river side,
thereby checking the curl ent through
the latter break to great extent.
Work at the Offut break has been
entirely suspended, as it was con-
sidered useless to try to stop the Gre
vase, as the water from the two
other breaks would overflow the same
country.
