balance, so long as he remained confined
to his room, he felt no embarrassment in
being this guest of Col. Thorne; in mis-
fortune he was "a man and brother" and
no shadow chilled the hospitality hearth
ly accorded him; but now that he was on
his feet again there was an irksome CON
seriousness of the chasm across which no
cordial hand clasp yet was possible. In
thousand indefinable ways John Fetch
or realized the truth of Mr.. SCOTS Ia
ment, that he had come too late for the
old times, too soon for the new. The
very care with which his host ignored
all topics that could lead to heated dis
cussion gave him an irritating sense of
being superfiuous.
Christmas was drawing near, the first
Christmas after the war, and the north
erner shrank instinctively from spending
this festival with the Thornes. DIR.
Lane however, insisted that his patient
could not yet bear the journey to town,
and COL Therne, more peremptory than
The doctor himself, would not hear of his
guests departure.
Il have pledged myself to- my aunt
and your old friend" he said, ''for your
perfect recovery. You must allow me
the satisfaction of keeping my word"
So John Fletcher resigned himself to
stay. Thorne Hill was not devoid of in
terest for an obseryant stranger, disposed
to study the transitional state of southern
life. The colonel, Miss Elvira, Nom Bee
were all of them representatives oftypes
that must rapidly pass away. And'there,
too, was Missy, by far the most interest

little did John Fletcher see of her; yet it
did not escape him that she was, i'm q

her aunt From his heart he pitied her
uneventful days. her isolated life; but he

OVERRIDING TIE DIRTY WORK.

II is a very dirty campaign the
PLArr-FAssgTr gang in New York are
carving on against Mr.. FLOWER. For
example the Republican State Com
mittee has scattered all over the
State q campaign document in which
one TowNER of Brooklyn swears that
over twenty-five years ago Mr.. FLOWER
denounced him and other Union
soldiers rs follows:
"You all ought TO be killed, and l
hope YOU will be killed. The South Is
going TO win, and nope they will win.
III the men are Id fools enough 10 90
down there aud fight an abolition war
they ought 10 be killed. l don't care a
d-n how long the war lasts. I'm get
sing rich selling cheap jewelry to the
wives, daughters, and sweethearts OF
the soldiers. They send their money
home and I get 10 for jewelry l am
making 500 or 600 per cent. and am
getting rich out Of IT,"
The Buffalo NeJrs is Republican
newspaper and advocates the election OF
FAsSErr, but it protests against the
foregoing personal abuse of Mr.. Flow
Err. 10 expresses its unqualified belief
that TowNEE's statement is a gross
and outrageous SANDER and it says:
eve have nothing but hearty cOndem-
nation for such a mudSlinging policy,
and its prompt reputation is the only
way TO prevent It's doing serious dam
age"
Bat it is not the policy of the
Republican leaders TO tell the truth.
Falsehood and SANDER are the only
weapons they have this year, else they
might recognize the fact that two of
Mr.. FLOWERS brothers were Union
soldiers. One Of them went to the
front as captain of a company that Ros-
WE'LL p. FLowEE did much TO get to-
gether.

ECLIPSE OF A HONEYMOON.
aenrIques Got His Court Summons from
Pretty Sirl.

NEW YORK, October 1S.-The honey
moon of Alexander T.. Henriques and
Bessie Booth, his sweet chorus girl
bride, was darkened by a cloud yester-
day. The groom was hurried off to
Court to liquidate judgment of $3.50.
1t was a prosy proceeding in the Cham
bers, for all the fun had been in serv-
ing the Court order upon the young
man. He had lodged everybody sue
ceSsfully until yesterday afternoon,
when a young lady's card was sent up
to his room.
Telling Mrs. Henriques that it was an
old college chum, he rushed down stairs
with great expectancy and saw be-
witching little beauty Of twenty await
ing him.
''How-de-do? Delighted, Pm sure, "
was Mr.. HenriQues' pleasant greeting.
Are you quite sure you remember
me?" the sweet creature gurgled.
"Oh, perfeCtly-perfectly," was Mr..
HenriQues' satisfied reply.
Then the siren extended her hand,
which held a square, tinted, perfumed
envelope. Mr.. Henriques took it and
prepared to read its contents, when his
enchantress warbled:
THAT is Judge O'Brien's original
signature. You have copy Of the
Court order in your hand. Bye, bye"
Henriques nearly tainted, but he had
been fairly caught by the pretty minion
OF the law. He welded Miss Booth
about two weeks ago in Montreal after
an acquaintance Of four days. His
mother left him a fortune recently Of
$780, 600, which slightly turned his head.

cents worth of gold to-day or "A cents
worth Of silver tomorrow, according
as the Secretary Of the Treasury may
choose.
These shaky dollars the Republican
party pretends to think ''as good as
every other dollar" Governor RUSSELL
shows that they are equally good only
so long as people can be made to be-
leve it and to accept them as good.
Under such an interpretation" he
says, ''the principal of sound money is
not considered, but only the practical
question, what amount of debased cur
rency can be made to circulate"
Here is the danger The cheap Re-
publican dollars-iOrced upon the cOun-
try by the Republican silver act which
looks to ''the coinage Of seven tons OF
bullion a day into lightweight dollars"
under certain contingencies-are de-
pressing the standard Of our currency
with faJal rapidity.
'sThe success Of the Republican
party here or in any other State,
says Governor RUSSELL, "can only
mean an Endorsement Of existing
legislation tending toward an un-
sound currency. The only political
movement in favor Of its repeal comes
from the Democratic party" The Bos-
ton Merchants Association and the New
York Chamber of Commerce have de-
nounced the manufacture Of the cheap
Republican dollar as against public
welfare" and have asked for the honest
Democratic Dollar. We believe that the
great majority Of the voters viii sustain
this action Of conservative business men,
and thus, as Governor RUSSELL says,
exert an important influence toward a
sound currency.

HARRIsoN's NEXT MESSAGE.
de VIII Favor a Force Bill, but Has No
Commenced MriIing.

Com nencsu w
WASHINGTON, October 1S.-President
Harrison has not yet begun work on his
message, nor will he do so until after
the 3d'of November. One reason is that
he wants to see how the elections turn
out before he formuates his recon-
mendations about the tariff and the sill
yer questions. II, for example, Mckin-
ley carries Ohio by large majority, the
President would lay emphasis on the
Mckinley end of the Mckinley bill; II
he should be defeated he would lay en-
phass on the Blaine end OF the measure
in either event claiming credit for
himself and his administration in con-
nection with it.
The only thing beyond the usual re-
view of the work of the departments
upon which the President seems TO have
absolutely determined is another recon
mendation for the resurrection OF tho
Force bill.
The other reason why he delays the
preparation OF his message is his uncer-
tainty as to Blaine's condition and
Blaine's return. The Secretary OF State
is the only member OF the Cabinet who
makes no annual report. Instead, he
usually prepares the opening para
graphs of the Presidents annual mes
sage relating to foreign affairs. Until
the President knows definitely whether
Blaine can or cannot nominallY or ac-
tually perform this customary Office he
cannot well prepare the first part Of his
message.

BRADFoRD, PA, October 1S.-Though the

here and will be for some time.

Immediately after dinner, but not until

There was no forerunner Of the sickness,
but a sudden and terrific gnawlng

able vomiting. In certain severe cases the
pulses Of the patients lowered until almost
imperceptible, followed by deathly pailor
and complete prostration.
Theabsurd theory Of some of the most
severely stricken delegates that the FOOD
had been poisoned or the air of the church
impregnated with gas by liquor dealers, or
other opponents Of the temp rance cause,
was completely exploded to-day. Physi-
clans were of the opinion they had been
poisoned by some deadly stun or powder
sprinkled on the grapes, but this theory
was also incorrect when investigation to-
day showed the people mad been poisoned

Gov. RUSSELL, of Massachusetts, has
o lengthy sud interesting interview in
the Boston Post on the silver question.
The distinction which he draws between
the Democratic dollar and the dollar OF

RUSSELL characterizes as zone Of the

This calls for dollars in coin which

This manifesto is the final effort of
