satisfies the wishes of his friends in
Wall street, by his offer to extend the
AZ per cent bonds after maturity at 9
per cent. What the tax payers demand
is that he pay the bonds at maturity and
stop the interest altogether. This could
easily have been done but for the GRIM

The very downy cushion being
prepared by kindly republicans to
break the fall of the tumbling Quay has
it's notable advantages for him whom
it is to catch, but deprives the party Of
the satisfaction of affirming that the
malodorous leader was ANONYMOUSLY
elected because of his misdeeds. PEG,
pie are to be given to understand that
Mr.. Quay retires against the wishes OF
his colleagues, and perhaps it is as
we'll so, for no one could ever be per.

The maiden took from her neck a
golden chain, from which was sus-
pended a key, and handed both to the
bandit.
On the top were few articles of
feminine clothing, which the BUSH
ranger removed with somewhat more
delicacy than might have been expect

his feet, then seized the burning knot
from his attendants grasp, while he
exclaimed in hoarge voice:

CLARKSON TO THE FRONT.
Golden Opportunity for the Great
Headsman.

q Ooluen opportunity Tor the Great
Headsman.
The mountains are laboring again,
but it is more than q mouse this time.
Ifreport knows what it is talking about,
it means the rise of Clarkson over
the fallen forms of Quay and Dudley.
The boss is dead, long live the boss.
Though the glories of Quay and Dudley
shall glimmer and fade away, the gold
en- aureola that surrounds the brow of
Clarkson will shed sufficient light for
the republican hosts. We shall still
have shrine to worship at and saint
from whose lips the pearls and rubies
shall drop as they scattered the ground
when the favorite of the fairy god
mother spoke Long live Clarkson;
Clarkson. the cunning and ruthless;
Clarkson, the headsman. Though he
be no statesman, he is the most useful
man in the republican party, and the
laborer is worthy his hire.
According to republican standards
Mr.. Clarkson is entitled to his promo
ton. If Quay and Dudley are to stand
aside, who is SO fit as he to uphold the
traditions and practices of the repub-
lican party? Is he not in thorough ac-
cord with them? Can he not handle
the funds and divide the spoils to the
queens taste, and does not that put
him at the head of the machine?
The country should be, proud of
Garrison, together with Quay. Dudley
and the others of that school. He is
peculiarly home product. He has
risen to power by original methods.
Europe has none to compare with him.
Mr.. Clarkson does not bother his brain
with such vain and empty things as
theories and principles. His domain is
that of the material and substantial.
He is the vote getter, the worker on
election day and before it. High tariff
and low tariff, protection and free
trade are nothing to him. He does not
disturb himself about free coinage of
silver or limited coinage of silver. In
his business these things are useless.
but when it comes to getting the boys
in line, by means of a judicious use of
the wherewithal, he is wheel horse.
The young men Of the country should
take notice. The Old avenues to dis
tinction are no longer worthy of con-
sideration. New standards of states
manship have been erected. The Clays,
the Websters, the Calhouns, the Sew
ards and the Lincolns have had their
day. They have been pretty good fell
lows in their way, but they were not
half as useful as a Quay or Clarkson.
Tom Platt says that he loves Clarkson
for the heads that he has chopped off,
and it behooves the youth Of the land
to study in order that they may become
choppers themselves in their mature
age. Their ambition should not fall
short of that high mark.
The democratic party is unfortunate
in having no Quays and Clarksons, but
perhaps it can get along without them.
Such greatness brings with it its bur.
dens, and there are some people who love
the old order of things, when fair play
was the rule and the boss was un-
known. On the whole we are not sorry
that Quay, Clarkson and Dudley belong
to the other fellows. Cour-

SAVING AT THE sPIGoT.
Enforced Retrenchment the Result Of
Reckless Expenditure.

Secretary Foster proposes material
reduction of the clerical force at the
New York custom house, as the in
auguration of a new regime of econ
omy at the commencement of the fiscal
year. Similar reductions in other
branches of the government service
may be looked for this summer. The
treasury is empty, and every dollar of
expected revenues will be needed to
meet the terrible bills imposed upon
the government by the billion congress
and the consequences of department
extravaganza for tvo years past. 1t
is stated that one thousand census
office clerks must go, and a reduction
of Sl50,0OO a year will be made in the
salary list at the New York custom
house. Here comes n snarl between
the secretary of the treasury and the
|, collector of the port. Mr.. Erhardt
makes vigorous protest against the
depletion of his force However neces-
sary it may be from Mr.. Fosters stand
point, it will have fatal effect upon
republican politics in New York city.
The turning out of Office of a large
number of the faithful will have de-
cided effect upon the coming election.
The republican party in this state has
never possessed particle of strength
except through office holders, and a
wholesale dismissal this summer is
sure to produce an effect which will
prove especially disastrous to the
fortunes of the party in the fall. The
ranks of the disafected, and they are
numerous enough already, will be con-
siderably augmented by those dis
missals.
The enforced economy on the part of
the government places Mr.. Erhardt in
such an unfortunate position that he
may be compelled TO resign to preserve
his influence with his constituents. He
is the first of Republican leaders in
New York, and he has taken such a po-
sition against Mr.. Fosters new regime
that he cannot consistently remain in
Office after his friends have been turned
out wholesale. There is no question as
to the necessity of the government to
reduce expenses. Every department
has been run at high pressure since Mr..
Harrison took possession of the white
house. The ordinary expenses Of the
government have been increased be-
You'd all presidents, and charges of
corruption and fraud have been the
rule, not the exception. The billion
congress completed the work of the de-
pletion of the treasury. Nothing is
left of the large surplus saved by the
Cleveland administration. The lesson
has been taught to the American peo-
pie that republican rule at Washington
Is the most expensive they can possibly

of that picture owe my life. A friend
of his, or one who could but speak his
name, shall ever find safety and kindly
treatment at the hands of Bob Fletcher,
the bushranger."
Before the two women could recover
from their surprise their captor had
drawn the keen blade of his knife
across the bonds which had secured
their fellow-p prisoners, and in voice
that rang from tree to tree he ordered
his band to replace every article as
they had found it, and load all again
into the wagon from which they had
| been taken.
Though much surprised, the rob-
bers did not dare to question the orders
of their chief, but obeyed in sullen
silence.
AS the sun began to gid the tree tops
a heavy covered wagon, drawn by two
yoke of oxen, halted before the cabin
of William Stewart, the ticket-of-leave
| man.
The sturdy driver was just coiling up
the long lash of his whip when he was
joined by those who were travelling in
his company, two ladies and three men.
| One of the latter was mounted on
horse whose glossy hair was black as
misnight. As the rider drew rein he
called in CHEEKY voice:
ooh, Will Stewart! Come, I've
brought you back the Duke that you
so kindly loaned me some months
since"
While the outlaw was speaking he
had dismounted and assisted one of the
ladies to do likewise. 1t was the
| Younger and handsomer of the two,
and as her delicate foot touched the
| ground she raised her veil, and turn
ing said in low voice:
civilian! have you forgotten me?"
For moment the ex.convict and the
brave girl stood, lost to all the world,
when their bliss was broken in upon
by heavy hoof-beats hurrying toward
them. Looking up the party deserted
a body of police.
"Ah, viii, you see," coolly remarked
Fletcher, "you see they are after me-"
'But there is the Duke, mani Mount
him and escape said Stewart.
"No, no. my friend" exclaimed the
bushranger st must come sooner or
later. / will meet my fate like man"
And drawing his weapons from his belt
he dropped them to the ground. Then
| folding his arms across his chest he
walked forward to meet the officers.
1t was singular group that break
tasted that morning at the hut of the
ticket-of-leave man. Leaving his men
to secure their prisoner, the lieutenant
hurried toward the sheep-herder, ex-
claiming joyfully:
Good news, friend Stewart, good
news! We have just received word
from England that You were innocent
of the crime for which you were trans
ported.
"Ah, lieutenant, you are tardy
bearer of such news. This lady has
outstripped you, and captured bush
ranger into the bargain. Boston
