of doubt the present committee has en-
ployed the services of skilled experts
who have examined all available sources
of information.
Testimony was received tending to
establish the charges SO made. The
methods pursued by the elevator COM
panies in disposiny Of the large volume
of wheat in 1886 and subsequent years
fully justified the witnesses in question
in believing that such shipments were
being made secretly, and for the purpose
of evading the attention of the state in
spection service and the public; and
were it not for other evidence subse-
quently discovered the committee feel
that they would have been amply justi-
fed in finding the charge 30 made in the
main true.
There is no question but that in 1886
and subsequent years the two elevator
companies named did ship in round
numbers from their houses ut night,
without the knowledge of the employees
of the said state departments, $50, 900
bushels of wheat. After the fact of
such shipment had been substantially
established by the testimony of wit
nesses the said elevator companies ad-
mitted that large volume Of wheat
had been secretly shipped from their
houses without either inspection OF
weighing. Had this admission been
obtained at the beginning of the investi.
CATION it would have rendered needless
the testimony of large number of wit.
nesses who were called for the purpose
of establishing that fact. The shipment
having been thus admitted, the duty Of
the committee was thereby narrowed
down to an inquiry as to the sufficiency
of the justification urged therefor on
the part of said company.
The evidence sufficiently establishes
the fact that large amount of wheat
became heated in the bins and almost
totally ruined. The committee find
that the matter was brought by the sale
companies to the attention of the rail
road and warehouse commission, ani
that after the mature deliberation O
that body the elevator companies wer,
given the authority to secretely dispos,
of the wheat; and it is fair to believ,
that the irregular shipments testified t,
by witnesses were none other tina,
those made in pursuance of the permits
sion thus obtained. The COMMITTEES
have no doubt that the action of tn
commission in directing the secret ship
ment of said injured grain wa
prompted by the highest consideration
: of public policy, and amply warranted
both by provisions of the law and tn
existing facts.
The committee further finds that th
change of shipment of $4,000 bushel
from the same elevators without inspec
ton or weighing was substantially true

companies. The companies cain, how
ever, that the amount so shipped wa

THE RHODE ISLAND RESULT.

Argus-L Leader: Little Rhody is still
Republican though by reduced plur-
ality. 1t is hard for the leopard TO
change his spots.
St. Paul Globe: In 1888 Harrison
had 4,43S plurality in Rhode Island.
Now the Republicans have less than
half these figures, and Democrats do
not crow over them.
We are not surprised that the free
trade papers are SO anxious to hedge on
the Rhode Island result, upon which
they and their great high priest risked
so much. But let us see what there is
in the figures to give them the consola-
ton the above comments are evidently
intended to afford.
From 1872 to 1886 inclusive Rhode
Island invariably elected the Republi-
can state ticket, ranging from over g.
900 majority in 1872 and over 5000 ma
jority in 1876, to over I 1000 plurality in
1880, over 5000 plurality in 1884, and
over 1900 plurality for governor in
1886.
In 1887 on total vote of $4,000 the
Democrats had a plurality of little
less than 5000.
In 1888 with total vote for governor
of 100000 the Republicans had plural
ity just short of $500, For president in
the same year in total vote of $4,000
the state gave Republican plurality of
something less than 800.
In 1889, with total vote of ~, 900 the
Democratic candidate for governor got
aplurality of nearly 4,50O.
In 1890, with total vote of Al 1000 the
head of the Democratic state ticket had
plurality of over ], 800 while one DEM
ecratic congressman went in by over
1000 majority and the other had 16
plurality.
In 1891 with total vote OF $4,000 the
Democratic candidate for governor had
1854 plurality.
In 1892, with the state an acknowl-
edged battle-ground for the forces of
tariff reform and protection, with Gro
YER Cleveland leading the Democratic
hosts, on total vote Of 54,746 the Re-
publican candidate for governor got
over 1000 plurality and 200 clear ma
jority, while the state officers ranged
from l 1000 majority for lieutenant-gov-
ernor and 237 for secretary of state
down to varying pluralities for the
other candidates.
If the Democratic press can extract
any satisfaction from study of the
election figures in Rhode Island they
are welcome to do so. 1t looks to us,
however, that difference of 6.50C
votes between the Democratic plurality
in 1889 and the Republican majority in
1892, on an increased total vote of -.
900 affords very slight ground for such
comments as make the text of this
article. Or, to figure it down more
closely. a Republican gain of over 5000
since 1891 as against q Democratic gair
OF 5000, making net gain of 2,S0(
Republican votes, does not warrant {
very loud bourbon yell of triumph.

Argus-Leader: The first shipment Of
a carload of American tin from the
Temescal mine in California is probably
only the forerunner of other shipments
which at no distant day is likely to
make the United States, the greatest
consumer of tin,' 'entirely self-supplying.
The Temescal mines have been opened
only few months. The Black Hills
mines have been worked longer and on
a much larger scale. Vast quantities
of the ore have been mined and are
ready on the dumps for the great mill
which is rapidly approaching compile
ton. A great industry is being crea-
ted.-Sioux City Journal.
Yes, and it is to be noted that it is
being created without the tariff. The
duty on tin does not become operative
for fifteen months.
That it a sample of free trade logic.
Would not the assurance of protection
stimulate capital to develope the tin
industry without waiting for the law te
become actually operative?

the decision OF county Judge White OF

The ugly rumor has got abroad that
the recent city election in Huron means
that certain obligations of that town,
growing out of the capital emergency,
are to be repudiated. For the credit of

this is not true. What has the esteemed
Huronite, which did some pretty plain
talking before election, to say about it?

 "And then" replied her husband, ''he will weary of it all; the sport will grow stale, the excitement lose it's zest. And in search of new interest he will proba- ply turn to politics and go to congress, where he will hammer vital questions into ponderable and practical shape, and become 'bulwark' or an obstruction, according to the point from which he is regarded. Party men and place men will alternately canonize and cruelty him, and lobbyists will speak of him with wailing and gnashing of teeth. And through sheer force of will and lack of perceptiveness, sheer presence of sense and absence of sentiment, he will be- come a power in the land,. but whether for good or for evil is beyond my power of divination"

He's a noble fellow, after all" re- marked Mrs. Judge Winner, as she took her knitting from its bag, "and Mary might have done worse than marry him. Cornelia never would have consented, it is true, and would have made herself in tolerable; but she does that often any how, so nobody need have minded. De- cidedly, Mary might have done worse than marry him."
 "Then you're not satisfed," observed her husband, land would reverse the de- cision of the court and move for new trial, if you were able?"
 "Eo. would not," contradicted his wife. "Pm fond of MT. Stewart, and Mary is as happy as possible, and the children are devoted to him, particularly little Ran, who is a difficult child. Still poor Ned! He has done noble thing that we must all allow"
 "l do, my dear," replied the judge. ''It was a noble thing, and delicately done for the man. He is capable of many noble actions; but there are gaps between, and in these very gaps come the most of daily living. It is far bet ter as it is.
 Mrs. Winner knitted on in silence. Presently she said softly: "Poor An thony! l wonder what his future life will be, and what he will do with it."
 The judge laughed in genuine amuse- ment. "You women are so romanticl' quoth he. "I believe you are picturing Anthony to yourself dying slowly of g broken heart, like the hero of novel or with pan of charcoal on the table and 8 revolver under his pillow. He will do nothing of the sort if my esti mate of his character be true one.

With this new train of thought upper most, he walked over to the table and began moving the things about, search ing for some evidence of a nature likely to prove useful in case his conjecture in regard to the missing trunk should prove correct. As he moved the things with which the table was Uttered, his hand came in contact with a handsomely bound book on architecture. He pushed it aside without a thought, and in doing so displaced plotting pad under which lay couple of letters. They were ad- dressed in Ned Anthony's bold, thick hand, and one bore the name of the law yer already mentioned and the other his | own.
 With feeling that there was some thing here that he did not understand, Dan broke the seal of his at once. It was written on 0 half sheet of business paper and had no form of address at the commencement. A half dozen lines conveying brusquely the information that Anthony had determined on suspend. ing the building of his house and that he had placed his Virginian affairs ir the hands of his lawyer-that was all In it was inclosed a check for the full amount agreed upon between the two men as the sum to be handed over at the completion of the building.

CHAPTER XXIV.

The weeks and months passed swiftly. Summer deepened into autumn, autumn dropped and faded into winter, and a year had passed since Ned Anthony sat on the fence in the November twilight and trimmed the hickory rod. Within that time many changes had occurred which had afforded the neighbors much delectable gossip and great store of keen enjoyment.
 Something was occupying the public attention now that appeared likely to afford endless interest and discussion and to usurp the place occupied in the popular mind by Mrs. Beverley's ap- preaching marriage to Dan Stewart, the New York architect, and Miss Cornelias unlocked for pleasure therein.
 There had been so much happening to the Beverleys for more than year that the family had come to occupy large place in the thoughts and conversation of the neighborhood, and in this last item concerning them the interest cul- minated. It was an unprecedented hap pening-nothing less than the filing in the records of the county courthouse by MT. Meredith, the village lawyer, of a deed of gift wherein it was stated that ''in consideration of benefits received and moneys given by Hector Randolph Beverley, deceased, to Edward Jackson Anthony, said Edward Jackson Anthony conveyed, assigned and deeded to Charles Warwick, of Richmond, and Howard Wilmer, of - county, in the state of Virginia, as trustees and as- signees, the estate" fully described) "known as Lower Repton, for the use and benefit of Hector Beverley and Ran dolph Beverley, infant grandsons of said Hector Randolph Beverley" The in strument was clear and concise, and the property was to be equally divided between the boys when little Ran should attain his majority.
 The neighborhood could not get over it and Ned Anthony rose in the estima- tion of his old county to the very pin, nacle of popularity. It was noble thing to do, they said-quixotic perhaps. but generous and fine; delicate too. since, with her boys, Mary would be in directly benefited. The neighborhood had decided long ago that Mary had re fused Ned Anthony and in glamour cast by this deed of his they were dis posed to think that she had acted un wisely. The way in which it had beer done appealed to them particularly-the putting back of the benefits which thlI gift was said to acknowledge two gener ations, so that the increase of prosper ity to the grandsons might seem tht natural outcome of the grandsire' generosity, instead of the bounty of { stranger. The affair in its entirety wa worthy of gentleman and Virginian In that phrase their eulogium culmin ated. It was the highest encomiun they could conceive.
