tered by the cliff that the wind will not in
terfere with the plav. I felt a pang as
saw my mother. with Muriel and Melanie,
who both looked very smart and smiling,
set off in the direction Of the ground. I
watched them out of sight: I saw the wind
blow my mothers bonnet OH one side;
saw it beat about the girls until it loosened
their hair and generally made away with
their smiles and smartness
Now that was alone in the house, now
that all my share in the fun was over, now
that nothing awaited me but Maurice's
anger and Millicent's execration, 1 felt de-

CHAPTER l.
The Western wind was wild and dark with
foam,
And all alone went she.
We are at the sea. Change of air and
scene is absolutely necessary for the health
Of the orthodox Briton once a year. Our
father suggested. that we should spend the
whole summer at home, in our lonely house
in Norfolk, where there is nothing on earth
to do but your duty. OF course he talked
of poverty, bad harvests. reduction of rents
for grumbling farmers, and all those other
philanthropic stinginesses of which we
women hear when we want extra pin money
or extra amusement
But we are a determined family. Our
opinions are as firmly established as the
Government; we do not give way. My
father has four daughters who lead him in
the path which he should tread, the result
being that we are at the present time spend
ing August at the seaside.
There are four Of us-four Miss Masters.
Ny eldest sister, AIillicent, is considered
handsome; her face is certainly sweeter
than her disposition, her blue eyes far
franker than her tongue. She possesses
in her oase) wealth of golden hair; the
curls and coils, the twists and loops were
most expensive, for the color is rare, and,
therefore, dear.

Ny parents, as would be OWNED by an in
tellIgent reader, have some originality of
mind, though their ideas run much-over
much-in one groove.

ter, Miiderd, their third Muriel and, tn

lish stock, and called the babr Ntelanie.
We are an agreeablv-soundin. quartet,
full of euphoGy and ALTERATION. The
Misses Millicent, Mildred, Muriel and
Meianie Masters roll sororoEsly off the
tongue; our names are melody of maiden
hood. But, as Whose-his-name saws:
Things are not what they SEEM" we
have very little that is harmonious and
melodious in our dispositions We quarrel
we jar and dispute among ourselves. How
ever, We unanimously allow tha: a woman
who has no temper has no character and
what woman, nowadays, could endure to be
eharacterless? Perhaps our surname has
some subtle influence upon us. We are
each one OF Us Masters at present.
Millicent is to change her name in the
autumn. The wedding is fixed for October,
but as her quarrels with her betrothed,
Maurice Mitchell, are incessant and some
time exceedingly violent, the engagement
Is an unusually precarious one. If Maurice
had had the spirit OF Masters, he would
have thrown her over weeks aud weeks ago.

One of the natural curiosities in K1ilIi-

lake cannot be seen until one reaches
the summit Of the butte, as IL Is circu-

one, hundred feet high The early set
tiers tell of cutting hay On the ground

that TIE lake will one day Ell the en-

DRINK AND pIsoRDERLY.

Georgia Watson, himself an ex-Demo-
crat, has dumped into the ranks of the
majority more trouble than ever con-
fronted that party of gin sings and
whisky sours in all its tipsey history. 1t
has successfully withstood the disasters
and discouragements of war, famine and
negro dominancy, but Watson's charge
of drunk and disorderly' breaks the
party of the stuffed prophet and McKln-
ley-phobia all up. Tariff reform they
think they can stand and even under
stand, but temperance-reform is re-
form without either political or moral
significance from Bourbon standpoint.
No whisky no Democracy, Abolish the
house saloon, but first move to adjourn
sine die. And die they will rather than
not adjourn if that fountain of all Demo
cratic inspiration, love and loyalty
should cease to sparkle and gurgle. Il
becomes a hard case; it is worse. 1t Is
simply humiliating, when the evidence
presented by the average Democratic
nose can no longer be excepted and
colleagues have to be put on the stand to
swear that the honorable accused was

influences of a prolonged speech, and

Reports from the Alabama state
election, held on Monday indicate that
the straight Democratic ticket has been
elected by increased majorities. This is
shoulder strike at the Pops. who
Dragged that their party would carry
the state. Even the negroes, the dis
patches state, voted the straight Demo-
cratic ticket which, il done voluntari ly
shows that they preferred to take their
chances under continued Democratic
control than to experiment with the new
party that promises everything, yet
gives assurance of nothing. The result
of the election is no surprise to us. We
have believed, a nd so stated repeatedly
that the south is simply using the Al
lance as decoy duck to defeat the Re-
publican party in the Republican states

"a glance at the result on salt rates Is
conclusive on this point. Kansas has a
salt deposit covering limited area in a
belt Of country running across the state
from its south line well across 1t. On
the basis of fixed rates per ton per mile,

distribution or consumption would COM
maud a monopoly. To prevent this, and

If the people are actually producing
more and also consuming more than ever
before, both of which statements are
true beyond cavil, no aDle-bodied orator
or statlstician can make it appear that
they have been doing SO without profits
to producers, or without means Ok pur-
chase by consumers. What is called
"stagnation" in some quarters, when
closely examined, does in fact mean that
the profits of traders and middlemen
have been narrowed, and that specula-
tors have had less chances than usual.
But these are not changes over which
the substantial producers of the country
occasion to shed tears.

This was before the late rains, too:
The editor of the Mcpherson Republican
saws that lin ride of fifteen miles in
the country we saw but one piece of corn
which was hurt. the balance looking q
dark green, showing it TO be in healthy
condition. Corn IS all right" The situa-
lion in Mcpherson is but a reflex of most
of the ether counties. and with such en-
couraging, cheering prospects to talk
about it is passing strange that Calamity
penny-a-liners and screechers should tax
their imaginations and smash the truth
in inglorious attempts to compromise the
state by promulgating such unmingated
falsehoods as they give out continually
in relation to crop conditions. Such in.

Whatever may be the fate OF the bill
reported to the senate by Mr.. Paddock,
concerning the establishment pro-
lection and administration of public
forest reservations" it at least furnishes
an encouraging sign of desire for a
settled national forest policy. Bills
hitherto introduced at Washington have
failed from uniform neglect to COM
prehend and meet actual conditions, and
any measure offering tangible and prac-
tical suggestions deserves respectful con-
sideration. The entire country IS I'M
mediately interested in the success OF
such undertaking, and especially so the
west and northwest.

In the removal of restrictions against
American meats abroad, in reciprocity
treaties with other countries, in defend
ing farmers along the northern border
and the seacoast against hurtful COM
petition, the government had never be-
fore been as efficient as it has been
within the last two years, and some
part Of their great returns the farmers
owe to its influence. 1t is not claimed
that the government is administered In
the especial interest of the farmers OF
the country, but it is fact that no
other interest is more largely benefited
thereby.

The family of old John Greenbacker
Davis. one of Kansas Calamity members
of congress, manages to draw ten thous-
and dollars per annum from the treasury
of government which old John declares
is on the verge of ruin. How much that
other Kansas Calamity family known as
the PETERS is drawing from the nation
which they unite with the Old man in
believing has practically gone to the
devil we have no means of ascertaining
But we do know that all such howlers
are n disgrace greater than which Kan
sas can never experience. Think of Kan
sas, of her history, of Ter struggles and
victories, of her living and dead, and
then contemplate the crowd that stands
up in the halls of congress as her repre-
sentatives. . Lord, how long.

The Homestead strike has cost one
million of dollars. The weakness of the
position of the strikers, it seems to US, is
that their battle is waged not only
against capital as represented by the
steel company, but against all laborers
outside of the Amalgamated association
as we'll. They have asserted monopoly
of the right to work the Homestead
plant. They propose to run it or to en-
force its idleness and ultimate decay and
destruction. This is folly from an
American stand point. A monopoly OF
one kind is liable to be as objectional as
a monopoly of another kind. But no
monopoly can be maintained by VIC.
lence in this country. There are OBJ
vious rights pertaining to labor, and or,
CARNATIONS cannot rise above the IN
exorable law of supply and demand
Just as well give Carnegie & Co. the ex
elusive right to make the steel in this
country as to give the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION the right to say no steel shall
be made except as made by them.

THE TRUTH OF HISTORY.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
| read an article in the EAGLE from
pen of Mrs. Lease, which went on to say
that her father, Joseph P. Cynens, was
taken prisoner at the second days battle
of the Wilderness, while giving water
to General Wadsworth, who lay dying
on the field. The writer stood on plank
road beside Major Bill Mitchell, who was
mounted, taking orders from him re-
garding the disposition of his company,
which was deployed to our right, when
General Wadsworth rode up on the other
side of me-which placed me between
the two officers, ana within six inches of
the general. Within three minutes
after he rode up he was shot, aud killed
instantly. He had no use for water,
whatever, and there were no other per-
sons within a hundred feet of us at the
time. Neither were any prisoners taken
belonging to the One Hundred and For
ty-seventh New York Volunteers-that
were with General Wadsworth the day
he was killed. Yours for history.
