The Cause Of Defeat.

WASHINGTON. Oct 25.--rhe argu-
ments advanced by the administra-
ton Democratic leaders which caused
such sudden about face in the po-
sition of the antl-repeal Democrats
yesterday were, that up to the present
time they had by no act given coun-
tenance to tilhbustering, had made
no speeches. for delay ind bad come
to the front and helped to make a
quorum during the long night seq
sions. To continue the fight longer
they hIust take an active part in the
tillibGsterng, which, it was urged,
with the record they had made, they
couldn't afford to do. Such course
would only result in giving the
Democratic party very black eye,
as it would appear that their course
was prompted by desire to defeat
administration measures already en-
dorsed by a Democratic House. They
were informed they would not have
O oorporaps guard with them in such
a course and that the purity could

disgrace as it would bring On the
Senate. This had the desired eff
feet.
This last doubt as to what might be
done in the Senate on the repeal bill
seemed to be removed this morning
when Bland, the great free silver
champion OF the House, gave up oil
hope.
He had just returned from the
Senate where be had been comforting
with the silver Senators. He said to
an Associated Press reporter that he
had no idea that any further effort
wonld be made to prevent vote on
the Voorhees, bill in the Senate; that
speeches woald be made, and when
completed the vote would come.
He was asked what would be done
when the bill came over to the
House.
u nm, OF course, opposed TO that
bill and to all compromises that do
not recognize silver as money. The
bill ought to be referred TO the Coin.

bill it can be taken from the speakers

THE DIGNITY OF THE LAW.


The mayor of Il western town
was playing u small game Of draw
in his Office with the city marshal,
the editor, the hotel keeper and a
councilman. At first the mayor
WAS IN great luck, and he piled the
chips up around him a foot thick,
and then he begun slipping, and
before very long he had only a cou-
pie left. The next deal gave him a
great hand and he wanted more
chips, but he couldn't get them.
The other fellows wore in to clean
bin out and wouldn't lend him u
cent.
Boys" be said earnestly, "will
you allow me fifteen minutes in
which to make raise ?"
They knew ho couldn't borrow

that
"iierc, Tom" he said to police.
man who was watching the game,
"skip out on the street and arrest
somebody quick and bring him
here. Tom skipped in about a
minute, and in ten minutes he was
back again with victim.
The mayor looked the man over.
Whats the charge, Mr. OHicer?"
he said sternly.
Drunk and disorderly, your
Honor"
"Wbat have you got to say ?"
said the Court, addressing the prs
oner.

"Ter dollars and costs, 4" decided
The Mayor, with costs reuittcd #

and t1e prisoner pulled out a ten
uer and rolled out of the room.
"Gentiemen," sald the Mayor to
the company, Il have few min
utes left, but shall not ask your
further indulgence. Give me 80
worth Of chips" and the Mayor
with characteristic enterprise, swip.

powerful influence of the yonng
woman took hold upon him stron
ger than ever and determined HIM
upon at once taking up the study
OF law. He had no means. nor had
his father, but he found q good
lawyer in Sprmgville, who took
young Boies into his home and
boarded him in consideration of
the students "doing chores" which
consisted of making fires and caring
for a horse and two cows. For a
year and a half he stuck to this
work with the persistent industry
which has characterized his whole
life. His labor was lightened and
his energy increased by the fact
that the young woman for whose
sake he was making the struggle
was attending school in the same
town.
When the day Of examination
came the Students good work coun-
ted, for he was one of four out of a
class of seventeen that passed and
were admitted TO practice. But he
was richly rewarded, for the young
woman who had been his inspira-
tlon during all these years of hard.
ship now became his wife.

ONLY ONE BRAVE MAN.

Zone day IN October, 1877, /
was staging il in Northern Califor-
nia," said Thomas NJ. Spencer to u
Globe Democrat man. "There were
six Of US in the coach. We were
talking about stage robbers. Sud-
denly there was halt, and one Of
the party said Speak of the devil
and he will appear. Well. We all
got out and stood IN a line, and
gave up our purses and watches.
The driver had thrown off the mail
bag aud the Wells Fargo safe.
There were two robbers, neither one
of them masked. They were not
polite, like the knights of the road
OF romance, out swore continuously.
The job was done in about five
minutes, and the robbers told the
driver to go ahead. We did so for
half mile or so, when one of the
passengers, silent man, whom
had taken for commercial man,
said to the driver: go slowly, and
wait for me at the ford. He then
produced a Winchester from the
bottom of the coach and started
back over the road alone.
"'Who is her we asked OF the
driver.
Wells Fargo man, guess {;
never saw him before, hut ! guess
he knows his business. II he comes
back he will have got them; if he
don't they'll have got him.
Twenty minutes later we heard
some rapid iring. We stopped ut
the ford. Nearly an hour passed
and then the man who had gone
back appeared on the trail lie
walked slowly rs If i'll pnin, and IA
bloody handkerchief WAS tied about
his head. Drive back and get the
box ne said to the driver.
"'Did you get 'em p asked the
driver.
"' Both OF 'em, he replied.
Owe drove back. In the middle
OF the road where we had been held
up, both men lny dead. The Wells
Fargo detective, calculating that
they would stop to rille the mail
bag and the strong box, divide the
plumber and then separate, had
quietly walked back. One Of them
he dropped with his Winchester
before he was suspected the other
got in shot before he fell, and
that struck TIE brave man glanc
ing blow on the head. Our proper.
tY was all restored TO us. We
helped bury the dead robbers by
hc roadside. The brave officer
refused to accept the purse We has.
lilly raised for him."

AuBREy's FAMOUS RIDE.
A Feat That Has Few Parallels I'm
Physical Endurance and Bravery.

"rhe greatest physical achieve.
mcnt ever accomplished in this
country" said John +. Graham to
Denver News reporter, "was tho
ride of +. X. Aubrey from the plaza
of Santa Fe, n. NJ, TO the public
square at Independence, Me-,
n distance of nearly 800 miles
through country inhabited by
warlike Indians, large part Of
which was then sandy desert.
"lt was about the year 1851 that
Aubrey gave his wonderful test of
human endurance before which all
other attempts of the kind pale into
insignificance. Ho was short,
heavy set man, 3S years Of age, in
the prime of manhood and strength.
His business for ten years as
Santa Fo trader had mado him per-
fectly familiar with tho trail and
all the stopping places. lie was
perfect horscman, and although
there were great riders in those days
none of them cared to DISPUTE the
palm with Aubrey. On wager Of
81 900 he undertook to ride along
from Santa Fc to Independence
inside OF six days. IL was 80 years
ago that he undertook tho terrible
feat. IL was TO be the supreme
effort of his life, and he sent half
dozen of the swiftest horses ahead
to bc stationed ut different points
for uso in the ride. llo left Santa
Fe in n sweeping gallop, and that
was the pace ho kept up during
nearly every hour OF the time until
he foil fainting from his foam COW
cred horse in the square ut lndcpen-
dencc. No man could keep up
with the rider, aud he would have
killed every horse in tho West
rather than TO have failed in tho
undertaking. 1t took him just fivo
days and nineteen hours to perform
the feat, and 1t cost the lives Of
several of his best horses. After
being carried into room at tho
old hotel ut Independence. Aubrey
lay for 4S hours in u dead stupor
before he came to his senses. Ho
would never have recovered from
the shock had it not been for his
wonderful constitution. The feat
was unanimously regarded by West
men as the greatest exhibition OF
strength and endurance ever known
on the plans"
"What became of Aubrey after
ward ?''
CATER his ride he became tho
hon Of the West and was dlned and
fetcd at st. Louis as though he had
been conquering hero. lie finally
met his death at the hand OF u
friend. One day in 1854, IN alter
cation with Major Richard III.
Weightman, the great rider was
stabbed to the heart and dropped
dead in n Santa 70 saloon. lie was
buried IN an unknown grave, aud
all that is remembered of Aubrey is
his remarkable ride. Weightman
was tried upon the charge Of muir
der, bat WAS acquitted, and joining
the Confederate army was shot at
Wilson's Greek while leading his
brigade into battle"
