FAvORS RETRENCHMENT.
The Great Democratic Majority Declare
for Honest Methods.

The Great Democratic Majority Declares
for Honest Methods.
Corruption and extravaganza have
been dealt a telling blow in the ma
tional house of representatives The
great democratic majority, as it should,
has placed itself fairly and squarely
on the side of honest methods and re-
trenchment in governmental expenses.
There is something in the very sound
of the words subsidy" and bounty
that CRATES upon the ear of most Amer
leans. Even the incessant beating of
tom-toms in praise of this essentially
foreign policy has failed to win over to
its support even the small contingent
of Mckinleyite nominees for congress
which escaped the memorable tidal
wave of November, 1890.
Neither Mr.. Harrison nor Mr. Blaine.
both of whom are known as devotees
to the subsidy and bounty heresies. can
find food for comfort in the figures
of the vote on the Holman resolu-
ton opposing the creation of favored
classes of every kind There were re
corded in its favor two hundred and
twenty-nine votes. while only forty
MEMBERSHIPS than half the small
strength of the repu blican side of the
house-recorded themselves in oppo-
sitio1.
1t was a notable success for Mr.. Hol
man and the democratic cause All
attempts to explain away the lack of
republican opposition must react upon
the heads of the republican leaders in
congress To seek to minimize the sig
nificance of that paltry vote of forty
is simply to throw the greatest dis
credit upon the party's alertness and
appreciation
There is great significance in what Is
q manifest, though silent, revolt in the
repu blican minority in congress against
those twin relics of autocratic govern
ment, the subsidy and the bounty.
Nowhere will this significance be more
keenly appreciated than at the white
house and in the private Office of the
secretary of state.-Boston Globe.

leader, Washington, who has captured
your hearth he remarked, holly.
washington and Maj. Wayland are
brave, noble men, far too good to have
even their names uttered by a tory sym
pathizer, retorted Rachel Ewing.
It was a had blow in the face and
Rigney WINGED visibly under it. He
changed his tone, however, and asked,
half entreatingly:
"Will you not marry me, Rache1?"
''No. my father fought and died q
patriot. could never let his child
wed a man whose sympathies are
strongly against the side which he up
held. do not love you, and can never
be your wife,"
''Your mind is contaminated with
this foolish patriot business and you
love another / know him. and shall
find a way to have my revenge and
humble your pride, Rachel Ewing!"
He darted her look of naughty an
ger. then sprang into his saddle and
rode away down the bluff.
Robert Wayland, an officer in the
colonial service with Washington. was
a handsome young man. gentle, manly
and possessing many excellent quail
ties. His own parents had died when
he was very young and he had been
raised and educated by his grand
parents. who lived some six miles dis
tant from Mrs. Ewing's cabin.
1t had been Robert Wayland who
had brought them the first tidings of
Mr.. Ewing's death. and the young of
ficer's kindness and gentle considera-
ton during the sad period which fol-
lowed had quite won the motherly es-
TEEN of the widow and the heart of the
daughter.
A week went by and Rachel Ewing
had nearly ceased to think of Rigney's
threat to have revenge.
He would surely have enough man.
hood not to injure two defenseless
women; then how could he find an OPP
portunity to harm the young officer in
Westinghouse camp?
A cold, stormy day was drawing to a
close. as Rachel stood at a window of
her mothers cabin and watched the
descent of the snowflakes-
Her thoughts were of Robert Way
land, and she hoped that he and all
his brave comrades in the patriot serv-
ice were well and comfortable.
Suddenly four horsemen galloped
through the falling snow and drew
rein before the little rack of fodder
where the COW was feeding.
1t needed no one to tell Rachel Ewing
and her mother that they were British
soldiers.
Hitching their horses where they
would be as little exposed to the storm
as possible. the British troopers strobe
boldly into the cabin and up to the
pleasant fireplace where log burned
cheerfully.

They were coarse-faced men, and
their evident disrespect caused Mrs
Ewing and her daughter to shrink
away in apprehension and loathing.
''1t's beastly cold out" said the lead
er, stamping his large feet before the
hearth. Here, girl, you and the old
lady fly around and get US up some
supper. We've got a job to attend to
tonight and we want something to
brace us up
With as good grace as it was posi-
BILE. under the circumstances, for them
to command, the mother and daughter
prepared supper for their unbidden
guests.
As the British troopers arranged
themselves around the table, the leader
addressed the women in these words:
I'VE will excuse you now, ladies, and
will wait upon ourselves, as we have a
little private business to discuss"
Only too glad to leave the hateful
presence of their visitors, Mrs. Ewing
and Rachel mounted a little ladder to
a small room over the kitchen.
Scarcely had they gained this retreat
when the sound of horseman oomin g
up the rocky road of the bluff tell on
tn cir ears.
Looking from a small window.
Rachel watched the newcomer dis.
mount and walk toward the cabin.
There was something very familiar
in the mans gait, and, much disguised
as he was, she was not slow in detect
ing his real identity.
sit is Charles Rigney, MOTHER" the
girl whispered, land some vile plot is
brewing"
81 fear so, my child"
II must go down that ladder and
play spy, mother"
So saying, she descended to the little
hallway below, and entered a small
closet. adjoining the kitchen.
The table where the troopers sat was
only few feet from where the girl
crouched, and inclining her ear she
could distinctly hear all their CONVEX
sation.
Rigney had made himself comfort
able before the fireplace, when the
leader asked him:
''Well, what news?''
'Good!'' returned Rigney, a triumph
ant ring in his voice.

the same time capture one who can

dark eyes. lived alone, deriving a mea-
ger livelihood from their few acres OF
tillable land below the bluff.
Mrs Ewing and Rachel were firm
patriots, and, though they mourned
deeply over their great loss, their cour-
age was of too high nature to yield to
despair and condemn the cause which
had deprived them of a protector.
There was one in the neigh borhood
who would gladly have done all in his
power to lessen the trials of the widow
and daughter. That was Charles Rig
new, whose fathers well-cu1tivated
fields lay just across the stream from
the Ewing place.
Young Rigney and Rachel had grown
up together from childhood, and had
gone to the same school Later, this
early friendship had ripened into love
on Rigney's side, but Rachel did not
reciprocate his feeling. Indeed his
passion and attention had begun to
annoy her considerably, and several
times she was on the point of dismiss
ing him in such way that there
would be no mistaking her real feel
ings toward him
But they had been friends so long,
and friends in those times meant a
great deal to two lonely women. She
could not bear the thought of hurting
Rigney's feelings. There came a time,
however, when she was forced to speak
very plainly.
The cleaning of cherries winter
evening was falling over the woody
bluff Rachel was making her chickens
snug for the night. when Charles Rig
ney rode up and refined in before the
little rock poultry shed.
Springing to the ground he ap-
preached the girl. and would have en-
braced her had she not drawn back,
and, with flashing eyes, cried:
How dare you take such liberty
with me, Charles Ri gney?'
The young mans face flushed deep
~, and his voice shook with passion as
he said:
SIS it possible I have made a mis-
take in the regard with which I was
pleased to think you favored me?'
''If you believed my feelings for you
were other than merely friendly, then
you have indeed made mistake" she
answered.
''There is some ore else whom you
care for?''
The girl was silent, but the rich
crimson which suffused her cheeks told
Rigney he had hit the truth. He had
suspected it before, but hoped to get
ahead of his patriotic rival.

trailing about after that fanatical

deal to know, just the precise plans
that are ccncocting in the brain of that
sly old fox. The young officer can
supply that information, if we have to
torture it out of him. But how did you
manage the business?"
"Listen. You remember l told you I
