that it did not mean that, the Democrats
OF the south and some parts of the west
were quite as certain that it did mean ex-
actly what it said. For the purpose of
vote getting it was better that those
differences remain unsettled, and SO they
were left SO, but when it comes to legis-
lation, one side or other must prevail.
The same was the case with regard to
the plank in favor Of the repeal of the
tax on state banks. The Eastern Demo-
Gratis said it meant nothing more
than that some substitute must be found
for the national banking system. But
the south has insisted that it meant pre-
cisely what it seemed to say, namely,
that the state banks must be afforded
the privilege of issuing circulating
notes. This question too for the pur-
pose of vote getting the two wings agreed
to disagree upon but when it comes to
the question of legislation the differences
must be fought out
One thing is certain. The Democratic
party has got to do something ON the
tariff and on the currency. They have
carried the country on promise of action
on both of these subjects. They have
every branch of the government, SO that
they can offer no valid excuse for non
action. To fail to act is to confess in
competency. To fail to live up to their
platform is to confess that it was sham
and a humbug. To live up to it is to
precipitate ruin and disaster to thous
ands of industries and to turn loose upon
the people a flood of wildcat money.

The death of Theodore Child, con
firmed by the latest cablegrams, was al
most coincident with the publication by
the Harpers of his Praise of Paris, a
work descriptive of the literary and ar
tistic aspects of the French capital. AS
all of his books have been first issued in
this country the impression prevails that
Mr.. Childs was an American author; al
though but one of his works, the Spanish
American Republics, treats of cis-Atlan-
tic topics. In fact he was an English
man by birth, was graduated at Oxford,
began his literary career on the London
Illustrated News, and passed most of his
life in Paris-visiting this country but
once, and then for brief stay. He first
made himself known west of the Allan
tic by series of letters to the New York
Sun, dealing with current literature in
England. These letters attracted the
attention of the Harpers, who made him
their representative in Paris. His best
known works are The Tar and his
People, The Spanish American Republic,
and vo ume of Art Criticism. At the
time of his death in Ispahan he was
making the tour of Central Asia, and
contemplated book on Hindustan for
which he had selected "Living India" as
title.

Some of the esteemed Democratic con-
temporaries are now begging Republican
papers not to indulge lin gloomy predic-
lions of disaster by reason of the election
of Democratic administration lest they
may have bad effect upon business.
Yet these very same contemporaries for
the past three months have been shrek
ing calamity at the tops of their voices.
They have persistently falsifed about
the condition of business and misrepre-
sented the effect of the tariff law. And
now that their gloomy pictures of the
condition of the country and their
melancholy forebodings concerning the
future have served the purpose of turn
ing the country over to the Democracy,
they deliberately turn around and beg of
Republican papers not to say anything
that will tend to check business pros
perity. That is to say they now confess
that for three months past they have
been deliberately lying about the condi-
ton Of the country.

The Hon. Grover Cleveland as he looks
over the election returns must feel at
heart one pang of regret. He now sees
that his bargain with the most unscru-
pulous political organization in this
country, Tammany Hall, and his sur
render to the Hill crowd. was entirely
unnecessary. He would have had cleo
toral votes to spare without New York.
He could have defied Tammany to do its
worst, and still come off victorious. As
it is he has got to carry out his bargain,
turn the patronage of New York State
over to Hill and Tammany Hall, and
give the cold shoulder to the anti-snap-
pers and the Mugwumps.

Inere were several compartments IN the
chest. In one he found a sparkling row
of rings, and as he held them up to tn
light he saw by their brilliancy that
they were diamonds Of rare value. He
found some papers that purported pos.
session of a large amount of English
property in one Cyrus Holloway, great
grandfather Of the present landlord.
There was an inventory Of the contents
of the box, and the amount counted up
into the hundreds of thousands.
He was overwh elmed by the discov-
cry and sat down to collect his thoughts
He remembered now of having once
heard that Mr.. Holloway had come Of
wealthy ancestry, but that during tn,
Revolutionary war the largest part &C
the property had been lost, and that the
fortune Of the present Mr.. Holloway
was mostly Of his own acquisition.
There could be no doubt but that the
Dox belonged by right to his landlord.
but the temptation was terrible. There
was no chance Of discovery if he kept it
himself, and besides it could add no
material happiness to its legitimate
owner, for he already had a sufficiency.
To Severn it represented all the COM
forts of life. He could pay all his debts

provide a home for Mary.
The perspiration stood in beads on
his forehead as he struggled against the
tempter. Finally he rose and with com
pressed lips donned his hat, and locking
the door behind him he turned his steps
toward Nh. Holloway's.
"Of course it's mine, every cent of
it," said Mr.. Holloway, when an hour
later he stood before the opened box.
His eyes CLEANED with satisfaction as
he beheld the contents. He tucked the
box under his coat and left the house
with an admonition to Severn to keen
quiet for a few weeks.
Severn felt intensely relieved. u

poverty" he thought as he sat down to
his books.
That evening Mr.. Holloway's agent
called to announce that Severn would
be allowed time on his loan and that he
might have a much better room in one
Of his new houses, with unlimited time
for the payment Of rent.
severn was ~overjoyed: he sent the
money to his mother, moved into his
new quarters and afterward, by mys-
ferrous good luck, secured lucrative
work, by means OF which he completed
his course in college very comfortably.
On the day Of graduation Mr.. Holloway
met him at the door Of the church. and
after granting him a congratnlatiou in
vlted him to call the next morning at
his Office.
At the appointed time he was on hand,

ANTS DESTROYING A VILLAGE.
They Eat way the Wooden Beams Until

They Eat A way the Wooden Beams Until
the Houses Collapse.
LONDON, July 9-For some time past
random reports have appeared of strange
condition of things at the French town Of
La Rochell, where the inhabitants were
pictured sitting about in groups and uncer-
tainty watching their houses fall in and
their worldly possessions buried in the de-
bris The people in this peaceful village
were suddenly awakened to the presence of
some terrible mystery when one night, DUR
ing q modest banquet at the home of the
cure, the upper stories of the building sud-
denly gave and not only ruined the French
dishes of the hostess, but covered the guests
with choking cloud of plaster. Before
the astonishment that had paralyzed the en-
tire neighborhood was overcome another
house tell in with precisely the same symp-
toms. And so 1t continued, one house after
another would give way and disappear.
It has now been discovered what has
caused all this destruction, and It is no
greater object that diminutive white ant
which has invaded the place in multitudes
and confined its attacks to the beams of the
housea These were eaten entirely through.
The prefecture has ordered the people to
Immediately have all the wooden beams
torn out of their property, and substitute
those of iron.
