at Olmpla's door, but there was no answer.
She opened the door and looked in, saying,
ut is time, my dearln But no one ans
wered. The room was empty, nor was
Olympia anywhere in the house.
1t took some time to establish this fact,
but Mrs. Bannick was not easily fright
ened, and, though making every effort to
hnd Olympia, did not permit herself to be-
lleve any harm. If she was not in the
mouse she must have left it volun Jarily-so
much seemed certain. The apartment

dozen other flats, at all of which inquiry
was made, but the hall boy said lady had
gone out half an hour before who resem bled
Miss Raven. She had not come down in
the elevator, and he had not seen her face,
but the description he gave of her dress
made 1t practically certain that it was

husband, who was looking more and more

was. She may have forgotten all about

"Oh, pray heaven it is so ~ exclaimed his
wife fervently
II am afraid the devil has been taking a
hand in this business" said Tom. 'But
come on. We shall know directly"
They were driven to the church, but had
only crossed the threshold when they saw
that Olympia was not there. The clergy
man was there. and the bridegroom and a
thousand fashionable spectators; but the
bride was-where?
Tom had to do the most unWelcome deed
OF his life. He went up the aisle, looked his
friend IN the face and told him that Olympia
mad vanished. The count had already had
time to feel anxious. He met the news like
a man, but his countenance seemed to grow

loud in church between his set teeth.
Let US get out of this and get to work. -
SAID the count. ''Tell the clergy to notify
the people. There is no time to lose.n
He and Tom passed out of the door of the
sacristy, while the clergyman, in sad, me-
lodlous accents, informed the people that
owing to the sudden severe illness of the
bride the wedding would be postponed.

Now that everything had been spoken
between the lovers, there seemed to be no
reason why they should not be made en-
tirely happy forthwith, and negotiations
were entered into which resulted in ap-
pointing the 1st of May as the wedding
day. The announcement formed the chief
topic of polite conversation during Lent.
Society took the counts dinner party as a

CANADIAN POLITICS.

Sir John Macdonald's appeal to the people
of Canada on platform Of limited recipro-
city in trade with the United States is sup
posed to be within the latitude allowed COL
onies by the Imperial Government. Sir
John represents the English party in Cana
dian politics, and would never for moment
think Of proposing policy which the In
perial Government would not consent TO-
But the recent declaration of the Colonial
Minister that separate arrangements be-
tween British colonies and other nations

the empire, raises the question if any terms
of reciprocity can be granted by Canada
which will be Of real value to the United
States. viii not any advantage Canada

injurious 10 the interests of England. 1t

laid down that such special arrangements

BILE Withdrawal of the privilege of bringing
goods into the United States in bond {? This
privilege has been continued from year to
year under a general understanding that
some kind of treaty may be agreed upon

withdrawal of it would leave the Canadians
with an expensive railroad on their hands.
The Canadian Pacific now makes operating
expenses by leaving out of the expense ac-
count the items of interest on the money
the Government advanced to build the road
with. That item would probably never
trouble the company, but if the United

OF American roads. heavy deficit would be
added to the burden the Government is al
ready bearing on account Of the road.

THE NEW LAW OF CONTEMPT.

The new contempt law, which has been
signed by the Governor and is therefore
now in force, is great improvement on the
old assumptions.
Under the new law contempt Of court is
defined to be any act or language which ac-
tually impedeS the transaction of business
IN court. miSbehaviOr or neglect of duty by
an attorney, Sheriff or Coroner in their Off
cal capacity, interference with the person
OF prisoner held under order Of court, or
with witness, diSobedence of subpoena,
and relusatt to serve as a Juror The act
goes on to state that "no speech, statement
or publication rejecting upon or concerning
any court or any officer thereof shall be
treated or punished as a conten,pt unless
made in the immediate presence of such court
while in session and in such a manner as to
interfere with its proceedings"
1t will be seen that the enactment en-
largeS as well as restricts the scope of con-
tempt of court. Under the law as it stands
litigant who claims 10 have been sold out
or wronged by his attorney may proceed
snmmarily by contempt proceedings, and
the quite common practice of spirting away
witness may be punished in like manner.
As to the right of the public to comment
on judgments or rulings of court, In place
and in way which does interfere with the
conduct of the business of the court, that is
secured by the new law. Common sense
should teach Judges that they are on the
same footing as other officials, subject to
criticism when they are wrong. and safe
guarded against unjust and abusive criti-
cism by the general law of SANDER.

ONLY A MILLION.

The announcement that the widow of
General Barrundia will present to the
American Government a bill asking 81, OOO,-
O0O for damages caused by the failure of the
United States Minister to protect that Gen.
eTal from the Guatemalan authorities will
provoke review of the circumstances
under which General Barrundia lost lis
life. 1t is admitted that General Barrnndia
had committed offenses against the Govern
ment of Guatemala. 1t is admitted that he
came voluntarily within the Jurisdiction of
Guatemala IN passenger steamer under the
American flag 1t will be presumed that ne
was familiar with the law of nations, which
recognizes the right of nation to exercise
its authority on the sea within the three
mile limit. 1t is a matter of record that
when the arresting party appeared General
Barrundla fired one or more shots in that
direction, with :he evident purpose of
killing one or more of the party. II is a
matter Of record also that the arresting
party returned the fire, killing the General.
Minister Miner has been recalled and a
United States naval commander has been pub
licly reprimanded Tor neglect to put General
Barrundia on board vessel of war, which
Is not subject to the same rule as merchant
vessels in foreign port. Whether or not
this was an error on the part of the Minister
and commander it will be admitted, we
think, that they cannot be held responsible
for the consequences of General Barrundia's
firing upon the arresting party. They could
not have foreSeen this action on the Gen
erals part. If he had submitted to arrest he
would have had to stand trial, ana as a con-
sequence of his arrest on board an American
vessel it would have become the duty of the
American Minister to see that he was ac-
corded fair trial. It would hardly do to
establish a precedent that an alleged
offender may open fire upon the officers sent
10 arrest him and that his relatives may be
considered as entitled to compensation for a
result that he BROUGHT upnn himself.

A telegram bearing date Parkersburg, w.
Va, February goth. published in The
CALL, states that 1.-The Standard Oil Com
pany has just purchased 10000 acres of
land in Green County, Pa, and in Monon-
gaheIa and Marion counties, in this State;
also the entire county of GiImer, outside of
the county seat, and nearly all of Dodridge
County and part of Mason, and is negOtiat-
ing for other tracts" The Standard Oil
Company is one of those associations which
have made immense sums of money by
monopolizing particular industries. The
company adopted the principle of crushing
out opponents who dared to interfere
with its trade. Being possessed of large
wealth, it could advance or depress the price
of crude oil. In this way it has realized I'M
mense profits. Our object to-day, however,
is only to refer TO its land speculations.
Incorporated companies should not be per-
mitted to hold large tracts of land. 1t is
enough that such corporations as the oil con-
pany should be permitted to live, without
holding lands with which it has no bust
ness. THE CALL expects 10 see the time
come when the amount of land which a
corporation can hold will be limited TO
very small quantity. Public opinion is rap
idly drifting in opposition TO the holding of
large tracts of land in the United States by
one individual

The adverse report Of the House Coinage
Committee gives the scheme of the silver
miners its quetus. There will be no free
coinage law passed at this session, aud it is
not likely that the idea will be revived in
the Fifty-second Congress. Both the par
ties appear to have made up their minds on
the subject; the majority report of the COM
mittee was signed by five Republicans and
three DemOcrats-a majority of the men,
bers of each party.
This conclusion was reached through a
conviction that it would be unsafe. as it was
certainly unnecessary, to disturb the pres
eut laws governing coinage. Under the law
OF last year tho Treasury Department is
bound to buy, for purposes OF coinage,
100000 ounces of silver each month. The
law was passed 10 satisfy the miners, whose
profits we're impaired by the decline in the
market price of silver as compared pith
-guid; and likewise to restore, If possible,
the old ratio between the two metals. II
did not accomplish its object. It's passage
was followed by squirt in silver which
carried up the price to 81 20 an ounce,
within cents of the parity Of gold; but
from that point steady decline set iu and
the last purchases of the Treasury were
effected ut a fraction over 9S cents. The
newspapers say that the decline was caused
by the discovery Of unexpected boards of
silver That may have helped. When arti-
hclal efforts are made to corner markets an
Invisible supply generally becomes visible
Now the law will have another years trial.
Opponents of silver predict that mischief
will result. The CALL sees no reason to
tpbrehend anything of the kind. The bust
ness Of this country is anchored on too solid
e. a basis to be overthrow by the coinage of
lew millions more or less of silver dollars.
Mr. Cleveland and those who concur with
MIN underrate both the capacity of the
country to absorb currency and the sturdy
common sense Of the people.

During all these years some of the ablest

ing the subject, and yet, as far as actual re-
suits are concerned, the net product of their
work has been small. The science makes
little progress each year, but to the sufferer
from disease it seems very little indeed.

A USEFUL INSTITUTION.

Certain philosophical citizens of New
York. aided by distinguished members of
the faculty, are establishing bacteriologi-
cal institute for the study and treatment of
tuberculosis, diphtheria, aud other diseases
Of parasitic origin. AT the present time, the
study OF oacterlology is prosecuted chiefly
at Berlin and Paris. A few men of learning
in other places are bestowing some of their
leisure on this new branch of science. But
their efforts are sporadic, and so discon-
nected that it will be strange if they lead to
important discoveries. 1t is proposed to
concentrate the study under one roof in the
Eastern metropolis, and to establish GEN.

selves to the pursuit Of ARCHAEOLOGICAL

THE BALLOT 4 TRUST.

In several Eastern cities lectures have
hem given with the design of educating the
people up 10 the idea that the ballot is a
trust to be discharged TO the best of voters
ability under penalties for neglect. One adj
vocate Of compulsory voting thought fine
Of from s. TO s. would bring voters 10 the
polls. While voters generally will admit
that the ballot is a trust many of them will
excuse themselves for nOn-perlOrmance on
the ground that so far as their judgment in
forms them they do not know which ticket
To ygte They may and probably do know
y itch party they would like to support, but
tie management Of the two parties is often
such that there is no real difference between
the tickets presented. When the bosses COM
biue, as has often been the case in this city,
20 give tickets to the two parties it really
makes little difference whether one ticket or
tie other IS elected. In either case the
bosses are in control An indiSputable con-
Giti9n Of compulsory voting is a system of
making nominations which shall place indie
pendent nominees before the public without
prejudice 10 their political standing.
Under the present law the Demo-
cratic bosses and the Republican bosses
may nominate two tickets. and stigmatIze
as traitors every voter Of either party who

that if independent nominations are made
the masses OF voters vote for the bosses can
didate. They DO not want 10 separate from
taeir own party. knowing that the act of
self-sacriice will probably not be attended
with results. The Reform Ballot Bill under
consideration at Sacramento enables small
r percentage OF voters to put candidates on the
of cal ticket who may be voted for without
spreiudice TO party relations. If majority
prefer the Independent candidates there is
no reason why such candidates should not
be elected. There is no penalty attached to
voting for them. A compulsory voting law
without some such provision for independent
nominations as these bills provide would be
an act of tyranny. When a man is required
under the penalty of fine to perform trust,
the same law should see that he is not pun
i,hed for not doing something out of his
power to do. a man, of course, can cast
his vote, but the purpose of compulsory
voting law is that ne shall discriminate to
the best Of his ability between tickets. If
both emanate from one source, there is not
much chance for intelligent discrimination.
