They would have been sufficiently re-
markable if they had been the outcome
of the same average range OF rates and
charges over the whole period dealt
with, considering that in this interval
the mileage of railway open had been
more than doubled-that is to say, it had
increased from 6O.522 TO 125, ,l52 miles.
But within the same period the aver
age transportation of freight charges
on American lines as whole has been
decreased by one-half or even more, so
that the same mileage revenue in the
period of 1SS0-S3 would represent fully
double the volume of traffic; or in other
words, if the same rates had been
charged in 1883 as in 1871, the average
gross receipts per mile would have
amounted to nearly Sl4, $50 per open
mile, instead of So, S93. IS, which wa

rs The democrats are preaching truly
when they say ''the tariff is tax" but
they do not correctly state on what it
is tax. They falsely allege it to be a
tax on the consumer which more than
equals the advantage of higher wages.
They ought to tell their listeners that
part of it is tax on the foreign COM
peting producer, because it forces him
to shade his prices if he would sell
any goods in this country, and pro-
tects the home worker to the extent
of the tax on goods that are manufac-
tured abroad. At present the demo-
Gratis only tell a portion of the truth,
and do it in a way which suggests the
old saving that "the blade of error
never cuts so deeply as when it has
truth for handle" A half truth is
often worse than falsehood. Chicago

When Lew Barker learned of the

was now sent to the correspondent
of the firm of HOLSTER & Co. asking
for an immediate reply concerning

later. Nothing had been heard of tn
Dreadnaught at Calcutta. The Ameri

'LooK! Eookl'' repeated Molly In
tones SO strange as to seem scarcely to
have fallen from human lips.
Hates eyes followed her cousins
movements with startled look in them
and the mulattress with a censuring
shake of the head reached quickly out
and laid hold of Molly's arm.
''Come, comet" she cried.
But the words didn't seem to reach
Molly's ears.
"Come, dear Molly, GOMEZ pleaded
Kate. And with these words she tried
to lead her away, to turn her gaze
away from that sail, hung like a glisten-

aside with startling vigor.
But this mental excitation ended sud-
denly. The sun passed under a cloud
and the white and glistening vision
faded into nothingness. Once more
Molly's arms dropped listlessly by her
side, the vacant stare came back to her
eyes and all consciousness of the situa-
ton ceased. Then Kate took her by
the hand and she allowed herself to be
led quietly back to Prospect cottage.
From now on, by Lew Barker's direc-
tions, Molly was not to be taken for
walk outside of the villa grounds.
1t was at this juncture that Andrew
HOLSTER decided to inform Capt. John
of everything that had happened, the
mental alteration of Mrs. Allaire hav-
ing now taken on all the symptoms of a
chronic disorder. 1t was not to Singapore
whence the Dreadnaught must already
have sailed, after putting in there as
had been contemplated; 1t was to Cal
cutta that he cabled long message
which John would find upon reaching
that port in the Indies. But, although
Mr.. Hollister had given up all hope
with regard to Molly, still, in the opin-
ion of the physicians, it was posi-
BILE that her mental condition might
undergo some change In the event
of her experiencing some violent shock
as for example, the return of her hus-
band and her coming suddenly face to
face with him. This chance, it is true,
was the only remaining one, and al
though its promise of success was very
slight, Mr.. HOLSTER was unwilling that
it should be neglected. Hence in his
dispatch to Capt. John, after conjuring
him not to give himself over to despair,
he directed HIM to turn the command
of the Dreadnaught over to his first
San Diego as quickly as possible. This
worthy man would not have stopped at
any sacrifice in order to have this last

would some time be used to perpetuate in
power a faction or party against the
will of the majority of the people Of
this we seem to have an illustration in
the recent State election in Alabama.
There was no Republican ticket in the
field The contest was between white
Democrats.
The Kolb party say they were refused
the representation guaranteed by law
upon the election boards; and that when
the courts by nandamus attempted to
right that wrong, an appeal that could
not be heard until after the election made
the writs Intellectual. Ballot boxes were
thrown out for alleged irregularities or
destroyed; and it is asserted on behalf of
one half at least, of the white voters of
Alabama that the officers to whom certi-
ficates have been given were not honestly
elected. There is no security for the per-
sonal or political rights of any man in a
community where any other man is de-
prived of his personal or political rights.
These new political movements in
the States, and the recent decision of
some of the State Courts against unfair
apportionment laws, encourage the hope
chat the arbitrary and partisan election
| laws which have prevailed may be coz
rected by the States, the laws made
equal and non partisan, and the elections
free and honest. The Republican party
would rejoice at such solution-as q

best assurance of free and honest cleo

that provision be made for the appoint
ment of a non-partisan commission to
consider the subject of apportionments
and elections, in their relation to the

Society of Virginia.


What General Breckenridge Told the
Society Of Virginia.
RICHMOND, Oct. 2S.-The annual meet
ing of the Society of Virginia was held
Wednesday in the hall of the house Of
delegates, that building being crowded
to overfowing with ladies and gentle.
men. General W. P. G. Breckinridge,
of Kentucky, delivered the annual ad-
dress, his subject being "What Exon
federates Have Done in Peace"
Among other things, he said that
the idea of the foundation Of a
separate government within certain geo
graphical boundaries is thing Of the
past. 1t would not now receive the sup
port of some of those who fought for it.
when the greatest Of modern sol
diers surrendered at Appomattox the
turmoil in the south ended, 1t had
been said that we were dreamers-a
race of planters living in retirement
with visions Of a government that
would be swept away by the first storm,
but when it Is seen what we have done
in disaster we may well ask the world
what we would have done in success.
The speech as whole was a magni6-
cent defense of the ex-Confederate sol
der in war as well as in peace, while
the women of the south received q
glowing tribute.

Sick Horses and Cattle.

Many people are not aware thatit is just as
necessary to have the blood of horses and
cattle in good healthy condition as it is
that Of man in order to have them stand the
cold winter storms and thrive we'll. This
may be most easily done by feeding few
packages Of Sanr & Balsley's Blood Purify
ing Powders, the only preparation of the
kind which is put up for the special use OF
horses and cattle, and which is not only thor
,oughly reliable but guaranteed to do its work
most thoroughly or the money refunded.
Remember that if you are able to winter
your stock well and have them in good thriv-
ing condition, that it enables You to get
the L into the early market in the spring
when you will realize from rs to 80 per cent
more for them than those who are compelled
to come in later on account of not having
been in condition to take on flesh readily.

The streets burned entirely, and on

GRUSHEDI
John MOrsy Meets With an Accident
That Nay Cost Him a Leg.

Monday afternoon John Morey, living
about five miles southeast OF Napoleon IN
Harrison township, was at the Bliss tile yard.
He had loaded his tile and started for home
when the horses became frightened and ran
away.
Mr.. Mo-ey being aman about 30 years OF
age was unable to keep his place, and was
thrown to the ground. The heavy wagon
passed entirely over his right leg badly
smashing 1t between the knee and ankle.
Drs. e. B. and Charley Harrison were at
once summoned and the limb dressed. They
gave it as their opinion that doubts exist az
to the probability Of the leg knitting, in
which case amputation is necessary.
