her flushed scalp. She did not know
whether to let her hair come down or ask
some total stranger to hold the dog. AT
that moment the car gave great lurch, and
with a sob she sat down in the lap of man
with a raspberry nose and deeply dyed an
thracite whiskers. As / came away she was
still sitting there, and, mingling with the
dead, museum black of his long jute beard,
1 saw the loosened masses, the great wealth
of insincere and antique oak hair which
belonged, apparently, to the saleratus
blonde.
But she is not here now. Neither is the
precocious Little Lord Fauntleroy who
usually frightens people away from hotel.
He also has gone. You will not see him
here now, You can almost enjoy yourself,
it is SO destitute of him.
The kicker has also gone. He did the
best he could for the last few days that he
was here, and then he found that one man
could not do the matter justice unless he
got clerk who could speak several Ian
guages. So he went away, and now you
can only see the freckles on the front of the
counter where he has kicked against his
bill.

The air of the shop is still and depress-
| ing. Where once the melody of the anvil
rang out and the soft and seductive odor of
! the scorched foot of the bronco filed the
glad morning, now all is hushed. The red
glow has died away in the giant heart of the
forge. The smithy washed his great big
honest hands in the water trough, and pull
ing down his sleeves to conceal the bright
red beard upon his massive forearms he
went away. Rust and ruin are giving place
to the activity and crush and hurry of trade.
Excuse me moment while step into the
cashiers room and pay myself off as presi-
dent of the bank. L will be back in mo-

Down street or two farther is the barber
shop and bath works of South Hutchinson,
but even the voice of the barber is still. I
couldn't, if L tried for weeks, express the
full meaning of the term ''quiet'' any more
powerfully than that Here and there
about the door the quick eve of the visitor
may see the snorn and grizzled locks
of the honest boomer of other days,
but the lather is dry in the old
sink, and the last echo of the loud-smelling
hair oil of the happy past has died away in
the bosom of the poorly planned acoustics
of the past.
The Gas Leak Recks Not.
Even the low, hoarse death rattle of the
bathtub has ceased in its silent throat and
the gas leak, with its hands across its breast
and its feet in the soap dish, recks not of
the flight of gathering years. The hotel is
also quiet Wait till 1 close the safe and
we will go over to the hotel a moment. No
one rushes to the door to pull the handle
off your valise and check it for you. No
one stands behind the richly caparisoned
counter to give you dripping pen with one
leg amputated and a dead cockroach on the
other. You can select your own room now
with bath and southern exposure too, if
you wish it. The police will not bother
you. You can bathe in the aquarium
In the. dining room if you feel like
it, and there will be nothing said

atus blonde of the effete East is not playing

has taken with her also her little wad of
hydrophobia. They decided to flee to-
gether. You will see her soon at Coney
Island, and tipping up one side of the
United States wherever she treads the
writhing streets. 1 saw her on bobtail
car last summer. She was standing up and
holding damp dog, for it was rainy day.
She was holding on by strap and starting
the gathers in her skirt good deal. Her
dress waist was made with little jack rab-
bit tail to it, which hunched up more and
more aswe moved along, and extended out
over the dashboard, as / may say, like the
tin, anti-caterpillar overskirt on the giant
elms OF Boston Common.

A PonuIar Remedy.

Mr.. John Keown, the worthy postmaster
at Keown, Allegheny county, Pa, says:
'Chamberlain's Cough Remedy sells better
than any other" The reason for this is be-
cause it can always be depended upon. Let
any one troubled with severe cold give it
a trial and they will find that the first dose
will relieve the lungs and make breathing
easier, and that its continued use will free
the system of all symptoms of the cold
The promptness and certainty of this remedy
in the relief and cure of colds, has won for
it many sincere friends and made it very
popular. For sale by druggists. wsp

Even as the hot and hungry torrent and the
dry and ashy deluge smote the business in
terests of Pompeii and hushed the great
heart beat of industry and life and social
activity, so the lightning sought out and
perforated the shiny and distended boom of
South Hutchinson, and to-day, while the
mocking bird whistles in the peach orchard
far away, and the shorthorn buhl-buhl is
calling to his mate in the bluegrass pas
lures across the heaving prairies, myself
and the mamma hornet in the $400, 900 brick
and stone block are practically controlling
the business course of the town.
From the front door of my bank I can
see the steam laundry of South Hutchin-
son, but no steam escapes from the waste
pipe. No cleaning white shirt tails crack
defiantly in the crisp zephyrs of Kansas.
No hot, soapy air of industry and prosper
ity comes from the broken windows and
sagging doors. No strange, mysterious
health garments or singularly distorted and
unnatural lingerie, distended by the breeze,
hangs on the broken and ragged clothesline.
Even the Village Smithy Gone.
Nearby stands the blacksmith and car
riage shop of South Hutchinson, but the
village smithy and the red fire of his forge
have gone out together. On his door is

Victory for Tariff Reform.

Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, of Mich
igan, is highly elated over the re-
suits Of the election. He says it
is a glorious victory for tariff re-
form and that it means success for
the party in 1892. When asked if
he thought the Democrats could
retain their hold on Iowaand Mas
sachusetts next year, he said:
Yes, the people in Massachu-
sets and Iowa are in favor of tar
if reform, and on that issue, l be-
lieve they will give their electoral
votes for the Democratic nominee
for President. No, [ do not think
silver will be a prominent issue in
the campaign next year."
Speaking Of Mr., Cleveland, he
said the success Of the Democrats
in New York, Massachusetts anC
Iowa, made it look very much nov
like the ex-President would be the
nominee of the party in 1892.

Crime and the Tariff.

c. E. Huckett in st. Louis Republic.l
Why did not the prison congress
in session at Pittsburgh sometime
ago attack the real cause of the in
crease of the crime which it be-
wailed-a protective tariff? 1t
is like an Indian aiming at the
smoke to stop a railway train for
these so-called philanthropists to
weary the public with platitudes
about tendencies" "home infu-
encies,' training" social Gus
toms" and so on. No preaching,
teaching, charity or much else can
avail with a protective tariff which
drags the people down to crime.
Gravitation is too much for the eff
forts of philanthropy or prison
science. Reflection will show any
one that heresy which takes from
the many to enrich the few must
increase crime. Whether they re-
alize it or not, criminals are strik.

Michigan's vote is divided, orwill

Taking Massachusetts and Iowa
from the Democratic column and

in doubt seven States exclusive of
Iowa and Massachusetts, for which
the Republicans will have to fight
vigorously. The Democrats can
lose them all and surrender Iowa
and Massachusetts and then elect
their candidate.

cause and effect, there is a fact
which settles the matter beyond
cavil. England, at the close of its
protective period, had nearly So
900 convicts. After forty years of
free-trade, in which the population
has almost doubled, it has 5000 or
5000 In London alone eightpris-
ons have been closed since 1864.
When the remainder of class laws
have been abolished, England will
have no criminals. The reverse Of
this is true in the United States,
because thirty years ago we left a
practically free trade policy for one

ment stops interfering, nature will
commence equalizing, and people
will find it Improbable to do other

A QUESTION OF LAW.MAKlNG.
The People Expect too Much from
Legislation.

Legislation.
Sunny SOUTH
There are two opinions in regard
to law-making, each of which is en-
tertained by people of good sense
and defended by arguments of con-
siderable force. One Of these is
that a law should never be passed
until it is urgently demanded and
therefore likely to be sustained by
the weight Of public opinion. The
other is that a measure just and
right should be framed into law,
and though it may not be approved
by the masses Of the people in the
beginning, it will gradually educate
them up to its standard. Very
plausible arguments may be urged
in favor Of either of these PROPOSE
tons. 1t is undoubtedly true that
a law which has not the approval of
the great body Of the people is like
ly to be violated with impunity.
They, whose special concern it is to
look after the infraction of statutes,
are not apt to be very vigilant when
their prejudices are ON the other
side. The magistrate is of excep-
tional honesty who rigidly enforces
law when he knows that he would
be more likely to please his fellow
citizens by allowing infractions to
pass unnoticed. But it is also true
that the majority of people are dis
posed to regard anything as right
that is legal, and that the most eff
fectual way of rendering a thing
odious is to place it under the ban
of the law. There are people of
course who form their notions of
the correctness of things by the
great principles of Divine truth.
But these, we grieve to say, are not
in the majority. The greater num-
Der do not conceive it very wrong
to do whatever the law does not for
bid their doing. Such being the
case, the friends of moral progress
frequently insist upon the passage
of laws which they admit to be
ahead of public opinion. When
they have been enacted, it is claim.
ed, they will command the rever.
ence of large class who would be
practically on the other side. Il
must be admitted, however, by those
who calmly contemplate the sub
ject that the people Of this country
expect too much from legislation
and resort to it for the accomplish
ment of some very trivial purposes
Such course not only causes grea
Inconvenience from the frequen
changes Of statutes, but it bring
thewhole matter Of law-making int,
disrepute. Nomeasureshouldeve
be framed into decree until it ha
been carefully considered. Ate
all, it is not the wisdom of a nation

which they are observed, that wi
make its people prosperous an
