A Reversed Judgment. 6

lie heard Estelle singing; his wife's
diamonds flashed in his eyes, the scraps
relating to himself which she had cut
from the evening papers were in his
wife's han1-she would paste those
scraps in the book where she kept every
reference the papers made to him,
whether they were complimentary or
not, and studied them together, and
thus obtained the worlds estimate of
him and found his safe way to fresh ad-
vancement.
"Do you want to marry meT' No, no;
he could not have married the girl, she
being as she was, and he hoping to be
what he had since become-thanks to his
wife's strength that made his.
And yet who had sent him from the
country? Who had told him to be a
lawyer, a judge5
Well, he went ON with his writing.
mistily hearing the music in the room
beyond; mistily conscious that his wife
now and then changed her position, but
never took her eyes from the fire.
Now, was this man Dunlap hardened
criminal? In the given evidence there
was nothing against his former life. He
had voluntarily confessed to taking the
money, and confessed without tremor,
looking his deceived employers in the
face with calm assurance, as though de-
spite his downfall and disgrace there
was something that kept him up. Peo-
pie might say he was sustained by the
fact that he had safely put awat the
stolen money and, young yet. would en-
JOY it after the term of his incarceration.
Every man has his price" these pes
simists would argue, and it was worth
few years in a prison cell with the mod
ern conveniences for what might he en-
joyed afterward. Disgrace? The world
is wide and money is an open sesame to
much that makes life worth living.
Conscience? What is conscience in these
days Of Pluto and the veneration of the
kings of stock speculation? Ultimate
accountability? Old men join church
when pleasure has ceased to allure, and
are sincere in the belief that there Is
more JOY in heaven over one repentant
sinner than over ninety and nine just
persons, etc., etc.
No clew to the money, no reproach of
the trust reposed in him, no promise of
leniency could get the slightest hint or
lie from the man. What power upheld
him? The judge knew that men consid-
cred strongest are often weakest and
sustained by force not their own. Was
not his wife his own strength, his love
for his daughter secondary to that? So
he wrote and thought, and cited cases
supposed to be analogous to the one in
hand, the simplicity of which making
the matter all the more difficult. Was
the man guilty. The confession of an
accused man is not always to be taken
on trust, even when the confession is
self convicting. There was the case Of
Blank, etc. And he consulted the sheep
skin volumes and wrote.

Will come forth from prison a strong
man, and we can go somewhere where
we are unknown, and he can begin life
all over again. But if he knows the truth
will he not think me a creature who
loved him and his fair name not so much
as loved the idea of thwarting my hus-
band, whose blighted life was all my
fault? My husband has been drinking
hard since this affair, and today he died.

All at once there came low knock
on the study door. His wife reused
herself, and with little easeful sigh
turned from the fire.
"How sweetly Estelle is singing to-
nightr she said. Then in raised
voice she called aloud, Come in! The
door opened, the music from the other
room gushed i'll, and white capped
maid entered and went up to her mis-
tress and said some words in low tone
of voice. You know, Catharine," said
the lady, that l am trying toput stop
to this"
II know, ma'am," returned the maid,
"but she looked SO tagged out | couldn't

Maybe the judges reflections as to his
younger life caused him to feel that he
owed his wife little more than usual,
He looked up.
"What is it?" he asked. Anything ]
can do for you, my dearT"
"It is one of those tiresome women
come to speak with you," his wife
answered wearily. Must the mothers
and wives and all the female relatives
of the men you try come to ask your
clemency for the accused ones? Why
should people be so preposterous? A
jury are the judges of the facts; judge

THEY SAY


Spokane Review: 1t is striking how
politics will influence a mans opinions.
The Democratic Portland Tele gram is so
infatuated with the Mills bin that it
wants to help San Francisco by taking
the duty of British Columbia coal and
giving the foreign product free field
with the Oregonoand Washington output.
The San Francisco Chronicle replies that
California doesn't want free coal; that
II was long At the mercy OF the vacilla-
lions and ext0rtions Of the foreign mine
owners, and Is cheerfully willing to have
the duty stay where II r., and thus build
mp the coal industries of its northern
neighbors, which Is good Republican doc
trine. A home market Is not only the
best to sell in, but 1t is also the best place
10 buy.

The fact is that the game called
baccarat, so much mentioned Of late
in connection with his nobs the Prince
of Wales, is only a slight modification
of the great American national game
of draw-poker or bluff, with French
name. In this connection 1t may not
be out OF the way to mention the fact
that the American people would have
thought more Of Wales if he hadn't
played such beastly poor game.

and Southern California can be bought |
for less money in Chicago than in the
streets OF Tallahassee or Los Angeles,
and the same thing may be said Of the
melons OF the South and vegetables Of
all the Missouri valley. Now, with
the Canadian Pacific terminus at our
very doors, running through trains
from all the East, from the cities Of
Canada and those Of the Atlantic sea-
board, that is from New York, Boston
and Philadelphia: from Chicago with
its connections with all Of the great
South and Mississippi valley, we can
snap our fingers at the secondhand
"cinch" under which we have been
suffering, and trains laden with both
fruit and vegetables, at cheaper prices
and less freight rates, will give us, di-
rect from Chicago, in less time, all
that we may desire in that respect.
This is one only Of the thousand
advantages OF the opening
of the Canadian Pacific to
Bellingham bay. 1t brings
us nearer by hundreds of miles to the
East il reduces the prices of all com
modities and shortens the time be-
tween the ordering and delivering of
goods. These things it does directly,
and indirectly it enhances the value of
property on these shores, and alto
gether makes life brighter and easier
and better on Bellingham bay. This
will serve us well for it gives us the
advantages we desire, and we should
be content with it until few more
moons shall bring us another and a
shorter road, and one that for all time
will be the shortest route around the
world, and on which the great city on
Bellingham bay shall be chief point,
a depot and an entrepot for the trade
of the East with the East that we call
the Orient.

The public have come to realiza-
tion OF the fact that only on manufac-
turing industries can great cities be
founded. The activity of hundreds
of American cities in reaching out and
securing new industries, indicate that
under the stimulus of the present
tariff laws, unwonted energy is being
expended in the direction of manu-
factories. Fairhaven has openings
for many kinds of manufactures that
would prosper here, and our influential
people should be as energetic as posi-

WHO HE WAS
The Portland Telegram had the fol-
lnMinn In a late isSnn.

The Portland Telegram had the fol-
lowing in a late issue:
The state OF Washington owes its name
to a Kentucky member of congress named
Stanton. The petition to be set off as
separate territory from Oregon was be-
fore congress as early as 1852, but was not
acted on till 1855. The name proposed
was Columbia, but Stanton said: I'VE
have already territory OF Columbia.
This district is called Columbia, but we
never yet have dignified territory with
the name of Washington. | desire 10 see,
II | should live so long, at some future
day, a sovereign state bearing the name
Of the father of his country. | therefore
move to strike out the word Columbia
wherever IL occurs In the bill, and insert
in lieu thereof the word Washington "
The motion prevailed, and II Mr.. Stanton
had lived till now, he would have seen
his desire to see sovereign state with
the name OF Washington fulfilled.
Richard III. Stanton, the Kentucky
congressman mentioned in the fore
going paragraph, was one of the old
time political campaigners Of that
state. He was brilliant on the stump,
patriotic to the core and wise in his
generation. He was from the Ninth
Congressional district OF Kentucky,
and resided at Maysville, on the Ohio
river. He was elected TO congress in
the early SOS as Democrat, defeat
ing Henry NJ. Wadsworth, also Of
Maysyille, very brilliant
man who had served one session in
congress, but was defeated as candi-
date of the American or "Know
Nothing" party. Mr.. Stanton was
the father Of Henry II. Stanton, the
famous Kentucky poet, whose best
known poem is 1.-THE Moneyless Man y

debt would indicate that the chief

deeper in debt each year. During the
last decade the public debt of the
world has been increased 81 ,0OO, 900, 600.
One gratifying feature about this re-

States shows regular yearly decrease.
But the national debt is nothing in
comparison with state, county and
