this installment of Handsome Humes,"
We see the heroine's father in p pathetic
light and the reader is impatient for the
next chapter. The strongly written story
OF "Horace Chase" is concluded in this
number, and tho there is much more
worthy OF special mention, we have space
to call attention only to the poem by
Mary T.Higginson and the illustration by
Charles Parson.

NO TARIFF REFORM.

The defeat Of the administration
and of the expressed will Of the peo-
pie, in the Senate, by less than twelve
silver senators settles few things con-
elusively:
The Mckinley Tariff will not be
changed.
The Federal Election law will not
be repealed.
The ten per cent tax on State banks
will not be repealed.
The Democrats will fail TO pass a
single party measure.
Why!
Because, if twelve silver senators
can filibuster, prevent vote and actu-
ally defeat the Silver Repeal bill, some
thirty Republican senators can do
even better when the Democratic
House sends up any Democratic, par
tisan bills.
The country can settle down to en-
joy the Mckinley law and the bene-
fits of Republican legislation for four
years more

The Present Discomfort.

1t is only few years since the West
was regarded as the proper goal forall
our ambition. Horace Grcelcy's adj
vice to $50 West" was acted upon by
ten out of nine of our young men, and
Eastern capital, Eastern brain and
Drawn flowed West in a perpetual
stream. Now this is all changed.
From this land flowing with milk
and honey comes an unceasing cry of
oppression, robbery and extortion.
The States of the middle West form a
hotbed for the propagation of those
societies and parties whose only object
seems 10 be to overturn all existing
conditions without substituting any
thing in their place. What is the
meaning Of this? Is there really any
foundation for these complaints OF OPP
preston and injusticey During the
past few years new political party,
the Populist, has sprung into exist
ence, socialistic 10 some extent, which
voices all this discomfort. Ii has
drawn heavily upon both the older
parties for recruits, has made cnor-
nous gains in strength, and claims for
itself angelic powers of delivcrancc to
the prosecuted farmers Of the West.
"The Rise and Doom of the Populist
Party" is a most able article in the
October Forum by Frank Basil Ira
cy, Western journalist. Since the
Civil War, Il great revolution has TAX
en- place in regard 10 social and eco
nomic questions. The war swept
away all sentimental questions in pol
itics and brought MS into new era Of
practical economies. The three great
grievances OF the Western Populist re-
late to transportation, land and mon
ey. In regard to the first, there is no
question but that the history OF the
Western railroadsis history Of fraud
and extortion. The freight rates in
the West are eXorbilance itself. The
Populists believe that '.Goverment"
should buy up and run the railroads.
Where the money Is coming from to
buy up the railroads, they do not
know, nor do they realize that they
themselves are the Government. In
regard 10 land and money, the farm
ers have in many cases fallen into the
hands of sharpcrs and usurers. Inn
mediately the cry OF Shylocks and
gold-bugs runs around, and they unite
for political action. But the remedies
they propose for their troubles are alb
surd and Inadequate. The leaders OF
the Populists are in some cases honest
but misguided, and in other eases, mere
charlatans, deserters from other polit-
cal camps. Their greatest belief is in
fiat money. They have unlimited
faith in the power of the Government
10 issue an unlimited amount OF paper
money, based on its credit. which will
make them all rich. They unhesiiat-
ingly advance solutions of financial
problems which have puzzled the ablest
statesmen for ages. As a party, the
Populists are doomed, as their creed
is founded upon error and must fall.
The remedy for Western discomfort is
not here. With sound currency, the
Western farmers will find that they
must work out their own salvation by
industry, frugality and common sense,
and not by running after wildcat IL
nai,ciai and political schemes.

what he calls the ''decadence of New
England farming" But the New
England Homestead has just made
public the facts on this point ascer-
talncd by the census Investigations in
to farms, homes and mortgages II
appears that 50 per cent of our farms
are cultivated by their owners AND the
rest are rented or worked on shares.
Three-quarters Of the farms cultivated
by their owners are owned free of all
mortgage Indebtedness or lien ON real
estate, and only one-fourth of such
farms, or onk 20 per cent Of the
whole number of farms in the six
States, are mortgaged. The figures
also show that OF this debt, foui-ilfths
was incurred to buy or improve the
farms. Whether the IL farms in every
100 that are rented, are paid for or
mortgaged is not stated, hut the facts
as given by the Homestead can be de-
pended upon and should put a quietus
on tine chronic granblcrs.

SOLDIER TO THE CORE.
Intrepid Corporal Ross Was Made of the
True Heroic Stuff

Intrepid Corporal Ross Was Made of tho
True Heroic Stuff
Corporal Edward p. Ross of company
Il, Eighth New Hampshire volunteers,
was one of the bravest men ever knew
in service. At the first assault on Port
Hudson, May 81, 1868, he was the only
one of the color guard that escaped be-
ing either killed or wounded, and car
ried the colors to the ditch outside the
works.
On the 18th of June, 1868, the Eighth
New Hampshire was ordered to lead
the charge, going in as double line of
skirmishers, the colors not to be taken
into action. Corporal Ross was sick
and excused from duty by the surgeon
and was also exempt from duty with
the company by reason of being de-
tailed on the color guard. My rank at
that time was first sergeant.
When the company fell in at three q.
IN. on the morning of the charge, no.
ticed Corporal Ross in the ranks. 1
said to him: Ross, you are not obliged
to go in with the boys; you are excused
from duty" He replied that if the old
Eighth was to lead the charge into Port
Hudson, he should go with it. When
within about one hundred yards of the
works he was shot through the leg, be
tween the knee and the hip. With the
assistance of comrades, he tied his
handkerchief above the wound, using
his bayonet to twist it tight.
A comradc, who was wounded in the
hand, offered to help him to the rear,
but he said: mo, the boys are in a tight
place, and can do some good in keep
ing the rebs from working the gun on
the parapet just in front"
He was found dead after the battle,
having fred away n large part of his
ammunition. His musket was firmly
