Thus occupied, his face and figure
set in the gloomy framework of the
trees, he looked even more forbidding
than before. His face, though natural

Gus with passions, his eyes deep-set
and fierce. his clean-shaven jaw square

hair. which was thickly mixed with
iron gray. fell almost to his shoulders.

iron gray mustache.

with fierce jerk of the rein and rode
rapidly away in the shadow of the
wood.

How He Put It.

Col. John Hay happened to be in Chi
cago at the time of the great fire.
Shortly afterward, as the story goes.
while seated in the parlor of a hotel
he noticed two persons whispering and
glancing at him.
Presently one of them crossed the
room and said:
"Are you Mr.. Hay?'
EYES," replied the colonel.
"You wrote Little Breaches, didn't
you?" was the next inquiry.
YES" responded the poet.
Upon that the man returned to the
place where his friend stood, and
bringing him back presented him SOL
EMMY to Col. Hay as ''Mr. M'Kaigins."
Col. Hay received the newcomer po-
litely, though he had never seen or
heard of him before.
After q short pause the first man
said, in an impressive manner:
''Mr. Hay, shall we soon have the
pleasure of seeing the great fire en-
balmed in verse?"-Youth's Compan-

A CHANGE OF: SENTIMENT.
Cleveland Suffering Through the Conduct

Cleveland Suffering Through the Condues
of His Attorney Geneval.
When President Cleveland discovered
and appointed Richard Olney to be at
torney general of the United States,
republican newspapers suggested that
the gentleman's close connection with
railroad interests made his selection
unwise. The president, however, re-
fused to listen to the warning.
1t was supposed that man who as
sumed the position of prosecuting Of
ficer for the government, charged with
the duty of seeing that the interstate
commerce laws are enforced, would lose
no time in putting an end at least to his
active participation in railroad affairs.
1t was taken for granted that Mr..
Cleveland would insist upon this

Not only that, he was present in person
and took an active part in the discus

dent that his interests are identical
with those of the road.
BY his continued and unblushing &C
tivity inrailroad matters, Mr.. Olney has
not only destroyed his reputation as a
man of delicacy and honor but he has
brought additional discredit upon an
administration which had already
load greater than it could carry.
The feeling in New England is ex-
pressed by the mugwump Providence
Journal in its comments on the presi-
dents failure to demand Olney's resig-
nation from the directory Of the road.
The Journal says:
I'm not requiring this Of Mr.. Oiney, the pres

about a quarter of a mile away, that
the highway entered a dark clump of
woodland. He nodded assent, and
walked rapidly forward, while the cara
van followed slowly in the rear.
Reaching the point where the wood
began. and entering the shadow of the
trees. he soon found spot well fitted
for his purpose. To the left the road
widened out into a grassy patch OF
common, adorned with one or two
bushes of stunted brown. and stretched
out dusty arm. to touch large white
gate, which opened on a gloomy. grass
grown avenue winding right through
the heart of the wood. The caravan.
coming slowly up, was soon placed in
snug position not far from the gate.
the horse was taken out and suffered
to craze. while Tim, searching about,
soon found dry sticks and began to
light fire Diving into the caravan,
the young man emerged with camp
stool, on which he sat down, lighted a
meerschaurl pipe and began to smoke.
They could hear the rain family pat
tering in the boughs above them, but
the spot they had chosen was quite
sheltered and dry.
The fire soon blazed up. Entering
the caravan in his turn Tim brought
out Il tin kettle full of water and
placed it on the fire, preparatory to
making tea. He was thus engaged

so that its rider, dark, middle-aged
man. in an old-fashioned cloak, was al

a fierce oath, he recovered himself. and,
refining in the frightened animal,
looked angrily around: then, seeing
the cause Of the mischance, he forced
his horse, with no small difficulty, to
approach the figures by the fire.
WHO are you?" he demanded, in
harsh, peremptory tones. What are
you doing here?"
The young man, pipe in mouth,
looked up at him with smile, but
made no reply.
What are you? Migrants? Do you
know this place is private?" And he

Day after day the democratic men,

Of the house of representatives locked
themselves up in an obscure COMMITTEES
room in the depths of the basement of
the capitol at Washington and devoted
themselves to the work of destroying

which will of course be called the

the committee. when it sees the light.
The republican members of the commit
tee were excluded from the room Each
democratic member carried key, by
means of which he obtained access;
the door was kept jealousy locked so
that no prying reporter. no inquisitive
republican. could obtain an inkling of
what was going on.
The place and the manner of pro-
cedure had certain fitness. A locked
room in cellar is a fitting place
wherein to carry on the work of the
destruction of American industries.
We wonder if this handful of southern
bourbons and northern doughface dem
ycrats realized the magnitude of the in
.erests with which they were dealing?

The humber of workers directly en-
oloyed in manufacturing and mining is

lion their families, there are at least
twenty million men. women and chill

great lines of industry for their living.
How will the work that was shaping in
the capitol cellar affect these millions

duties levied on imported articles
This will mean that there will be an
enormous increase in the sale of foreign
made goods of all kinds. Every dol
lars worth more that is bous hit abroad
means dollars worth less manufac-
tured here. Hence, there will be less
manufacturing, less opportunity for
abOr.
Again, It is as plain as a pikestaff
that. if protection be removed. the for
eign and American manufacturers will
De placed on the same level The one
who can sell the cheapest will get the
trade. Wages are lower abroad than
mere; hence it costs less to manufacture
goods there, as labor is the largest
ITEM of production. Therefore the for
eigner can underseu the American
manufacturer. The latter must then
either close his factory or reduce the
cost of production; and to do this he
must reduce the wages paid. So the al
oernative to the workingman will be,
either no work or much less wages.
Lower wages means a lower scale of
living, as to food, clothing, and all the
and comforts of life.
This is the work that was going on
IN the cellar of the capitol. A band
of conspirators were there shaping 4
bill which would cut wages and give
less work to the masses of the Ameri-
can people. They were conspiring
against the prosperity. the comfort
and the happiness of the toiiing masses

Struck by the superior manner of
the speaker the newcomer looked at
him in some surprise, but with no
of his naughty manner.
He then glanced at Tim, who was busy
with the kettle, from Tim to the gray
mare and from the gray mare to the
house on wheels. The scowl on his
dark face deepened and he turned his
fierce eyes again on the young man.

How Protection Works In the State OF
Kansas.

Topeka, which is in Kansas, takes
irst prize at the worlds fair for the
production of vitrified brick, which is
aear to the best, if not absolutely the
oest, paving material Hutchinson.
which also is in Kansas, carried off the
aonors against all competitors for re-
ined table salt-and England was
among the competitors Topeka and
Hutchinson have material enough at
command to supply all the United
States with paving material and salt;
all that they need is more factories
and enlarged facilities of transporta-
ton.
Vitrifed brick is protected by a tariff
1uty of forty-five per cent, salt by a
slight duty. When there was no duty
On salt, Michigan-Kansas was then in
territorial condition-had to nurse 4
feeble life in it's salt industries by 4
bounty derived from state taxes, and
salt sold at one dollar and sixty cents
per barrel Under protection the salt
industry of Michigan and of Kansas
has grown to gigantic proportions, and
salt sells at thirty cents 4 barrel. Wit
rif3ed brick is a manufacture created by
tariff, and certain to perish if tariff
protection is removed.
The people engaged in the manu-
facture of vitrified brick and salt con-
sumo farm products, but do not raise
them. That is to say, they increase
the demand for farm products. When
the demand is great the price is high.
Popullst farmers complain of the low
price of their products; that is to say,
they admit that the production is in ex-
cess of the demand. Yet they join
hands with southern planters. who de-
sire cheapness in northern farm prod
ucts, to abolish tariff that protects
industries that increase the demand for
food. The populist policy is peculiarly
irrational-Chicago Inter Ocean.
