Assuming that it is settled that Mr.. Blaine is
willing and even DESTROYS to withdraw from the
presidential race. the next question that will
evidently arise is whether the republican party
can afford to permit him to withdraw. The
game Of politics is a cruel and unfeeling one.
When the pinch comes small consideration is
shown for the comfort or feelings of individu-
ais. SO far the vast personal following Of
Mr. Blaine is concerned, which is enthusiastically
devoted TO him as a leader his wish will prob
ably be Jaw. and regretful assent to his decision
would doubtless be yielded if he should say that
physical weakness OF any other consideration
forbade his candidacy. But the great repub-
lican organization is fundamentally machine
Ike in its operations, like every other historic
political party. If next summer the managers
of this machine perceive or think they perceive
that the contest for national supremacy will be
very close that victory or a defeat which Is
fnai and irreversible turns upon the candidacy
or non-candidacy Of James G.. Elaine, will the
latter's decision or inclination or consideration
for his comfort or physical well-being or even
his length Of life be conclusive upon them!

l am physician and surgeon by pro-
fession. At one time | was one of the
deputy county physicians of the county
of New York.
1t was while l occupied this position
that l received a note from Mrs. Clark
Melville requesting short interview
with me at her own residence Mrs.
Clark Melville was not a lady whose re-
quests were to be ignored, and lost no
time in placing myself at her disposal.
Il have sent for you in your official
capacity" she began, after | had been
seated in her elegant parlor. Il desire
to call your attention to a strange case
which is to me of the greatest impor-
lance. | have taken this step only after
days of careful elaboration, and | ask
at your hands painstaking examina-
ton of the whole matter | want you
to tell me what ought to do.
"When leave this room a lady will
enter from the library on the right. At
this moment she is there waiting to come
to you. That lady is Mrs Caroline
Green. You have undoubtedly heard
her name mentioned in anything but ia
vorable terms in connection with muir
der which recently took place in this
house. If you have read the daily news
papers 1 need say no more to you in this
connection.
Il want you to talk with her, with a
view to ascertaining the condition of her
mind as to sanity. Ipresume you ply
sicians have a set rule of procedure in
such cases. Therefore l must leave the
details to you.
"You understand, of course, that Mrs.
Green is still in my employ and under
my protection. Only for this, instead of
being in my library at this moment she
would be in prison awaiting the official
INVESTIGATION of my coachman's death.

When Charlemagne and his " knights Of
the Round Table were making wGr on the
Earacens, in Africa, it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would fight in
single combat for the honor OF their re-
spective armies. The Saracens had been,
for many years, the scourge-the dreaded
invaders-Of Europe, and all waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days the worst scOurge that
threatens us, is that dread invader, Con-
sumption.
Consumption fastens its hold upon its vic
Tins while they are unconscious of its ap-
preach. Dr. PierCe's Golden Medical Dis
-covery has cured thousands Of cases of this
most fatal of maladies. But it must be
taken before the disease is too far advanced
in order to be effective. If taken in tlme.
and given q fair trial, it will cure, or money
paid for it will DO refunded.
For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Short
ness of Breath, Bronchitis, Asthma, severe
Coughs, and kindred affections, it is an une-
squaled remedy.
For all diseases that arise from torpid

THE MELVILLE MURDER
Edited by ALFRED B. TOzER.
Copyright. 1891, by American Press Associa-

ton
at is now my firm belief that the
coachman grew in time to realize the
mistake his sister had made regarding
me. He is known to have quarreled
with her almost constantly for a month
prior to his death. There is only one
thing they could have quarreled about
that one thing was the question of drop
ping or pressing their claim against me.
Without the aid and countenance of
her brother the woman's claim against
me was certain to fall to the ground.
| believe the coachman to have been an
honest man. He had become satisfied
in his own mind that his sister was mis-
taken. He refused to aid her in wreck
ing the life of an innocent man.
Regarding all their charges against
me, make to you firm denial. Being
Richard Melville, it is impossible that
should be Maurice Green. Take from
my life the few months when suffered
from the explosion in the hospital, and
my memory establishes my identity be-
You'd doubt. 1t would establish it in
any court of law. Ask the family sur
geon who brought me back to life and
reason in the farmhouse. Ask my early
friends whom | recognized upon my re-
covery, and whom Maurice Green could
not have known. Then if you are still
in doubt as to my identity and the house
keepers sanity, ask my mother, Mrs.
Clark Melville,
About the life of Maurice Green !
know nothing. | remember the man.
He was instantly killed by the accident
that wounded me. have heard that it
was claimed by persons in the hospital
that he resembled me. Idon't believe it.
There, you have my statement. 1t
points the search for the coachman's
slayer in the same old way. Some day,
in a lucid interval, the housekeeper
may confess that she murdered her
brother rather than have him live to
thwart her in her insane efforts to bring
me to recognize her as my wife. If she
ever does confess, it will be when she
has abandoned her pursuit of me-"

The new SHERlFF--- CHAS. M. CONKLIN.
The County Board Takes Action on sher-
III Chayes' Resignation-The
County Assessment
Rolls.

The county board of commissioners
met this forenoon and took final action
on the sherievalty matter by naming Chas.
M. Conklin as the successor of Francisco
Chaves, resigned. Mr.. Conklin, being
himself member of the board, imme-
diately wrote out his resignation as coun-
ty commissioner and sent the same to the
governor. This afternoon the new sheriff
and collector is engaged in perfecting his
official bond and will assume charge OF
the office as soon as possible after APPROX
al of his bond.
The board adopted the following:
WHEREAS. this board is informed that
the sum of four thousand dollars or there
abouts was collected from the tax payers
of the county Of Santa Fe during the year
1890 for school taxes, of which sum no
satisfactory record appears, therefore be it
Resolved, by the board of county com
missioners, that j. =. Victory, superin-
tendent of schools of this county. during
said year, he and he is hereby requested to
furnish this board with detailed state
ment of the receipts and expenditures OF
school taxes curing said year and to fur
nlsh same forthwith.
The only other business transacted to-
day by the commissioners was the exam
inatIon of the assessors lists, which were
