The Petersbnrg District.

The Petersburg Inter iPpeGi of yester-
dav. in its leading editorial. says that
"of the success Of Mr.. EPEs there
can he no doubt. Aud this calling
and election beng sure, we answer that
the good Of this people will be the aim Of
ms labor IN the next Congress, to which he
will surely DE elected
The Indr-Appo1i is right. Mr.. EPEs is
going 10 be elected. The more the people
of the district think over the outrage
visited upon them in displacing Mr.. VIVA
nrr by LaNGsToS. the greater VIII grow
their displcasure and their determination
10 reprove the Republicans and forever rid
themselves of LANGsToN by elocting Mr..
TPEs. If Langston fails in November he
will leave the State for cood-for her good
too.
The vote in the Fourth congressional
district for Governor last fall was much
closer than is generally supposed.

side of the column. Besides the pluch-
ness of our candidate VIII win him many
votes. II will make the Democrats Jealous
10 labor for him and will bo warning TO
the LANGsToN hordes that no bulldozing or
intimidation on their part Will be per-
mittod.
LANGsroN asserts that no has been
nominated IN every prayer-meeting all
over the district" from which 1t may be
inferred that he does not care to have any
other OF better claim to the support Of the
party.
As we understand the Republican Dis
trct Committee will soon meet TO deter
mine upon holding convention. If one
is TO be held and MALONE can control 1t,
LAsGsToN Will not be the nominee.
What we need in the Fourth district
now is organization. thorough and exhaus-
tive. in every city and county. Mr.. EPEs
has taken upon himself the responsibility
aud burden Of a great canvass and to his
side there should be a general AID enthu-
siastic rallylng Of Democrats.
Hold up his hands and he Will win the

BY RUDY ARD KIPLIN
author Who in One Short Year Has Made Himself the
Sensation of the Literary World.
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH.

Four men, theoretically entitled to "life,
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness" sat at
a table playing whist. The Thermometer
marked-for them-1O1 degrees of heat. The
room was darkened till 1t was only just
possible to distinguish the pips of the cards
and the very white faces of the players. A
tattered, rotten punkah OF whitewashed
calico was pudding the hot air and whin-
ing dolefully at each stroke. Outside lay
gloom of November day in London.
There was neither sky, sun nor horizon
nothing but brown purple haze of heat.
It was as though the earth were dying of
apoplexy.
From time to time clouds of tawny dust
rose from the ground without wind or warn
ing, flung themselves tableclothwise among
the tops of the parched trees and came down
again. Then whirlwind dust-devil would
scutter across the plains for couple of
miles, break and fall outward, though there
was nothing to check its flight save long,
low line OF piled railway sleepers white
with the dust, cluster of huts made of
mud, condemned rails and canvas, and the
one squat four-roomed bungalow that be-
longed to the assistant engineer in charge
of section of the Gandhari State line then
under construction.
The four men, stripped to the thinnest of
sleeping suit, played whist Grossly, with
wranglings as to leads and returns. 1t was
not the best kind of whist, but they had
taken some trouble to arrive at it. Mottram,
OF the Indian survey, had ridden 80 and
rallied 100 miles from his lonely post in the

HEATED TERM.

I'd give three months pay to have that gem
tleman spend one month with me and see
how the free and indeuendent native prince
works things. Old Timbersides was
his fippant title for an honored and decor
rated prince-"has been wearing my life
out this week past for money. By jove,
his latest performance was to send me one
of his women as bribe %
"Good for you! Did you accept it?" said
Mottram.
"No. rather wish had now. She was
a pretty little person, and she yarned away
to me about the horrible destitution among
the kings women folk. The darlings
haven't had any new clothes for nearly a
month, and the old man wants to buy new
drag from Calcutta-soiid silver railings
and silver lamps and tri1es of that kind.
I've tried to make him understand that he
has played the duce with the revenues for
the last 20 years and must 60 slow. He
can't see it.
"But he has the ancestral treasure vaults
to draw on. There must be three millions
at least in Jewels and coin under his pal
ace" said Hummil.
"Catch a native king disturbing the family
treasure! The priests forbid it except as the
last resort. Old Timbersides has added
something like quarter of a million to the
deposit in his reign"
"Where the mischief does it all come
from?" said Mottram.
"The country. The state of the people is
enough to make you sick. I've known the
taxmen wait by a milch camel till the foal
was born and then hurry off the mother for
arrears. And what can 1 do? I can't get
the court clerks to give me any accounts. I
can't raise anything more than fat smile
