"reminiscences of the Ohio Crusade.

III.
A gentleman who kept a restaurant
and ice cream parlor, and whose trade
in the summer time depended largely
upon the good will of the ladies, re-
ceived polite note one day TO call at
the headquarters of the Crusaders at a
particular hour in the morning. Wis
ions of the long strips OF carpet uE-
rolled before his door, covered with
praying women. began to dance before
his eyes, but his conscience was clear.
He been guilty of vending no liquor
stronger than soda water; SO, after a
little preliminary primping he
was a bachelor-he sought the camp
of the women, accompanied by his lit
tie dog.
On inquiring what they wanted with
him, in his most bland and urbane
manner, he was told that he had not
been sent for and that the letter was a
hoax. He and his purp arose and
went out from there very much as if
they had been fired out OF cannon.
The presence of some of his cronles on
the opposite side of the street informed
him who had put up the job. Being
something of a practical joker himself,
he took his medicine in good part, and
-, To hnvcS Sn6o
and cigars, of course. This genleman's
perturbation was amusing, but indi-
Gated the feeling of tension then pre-
vading the community.
Almost from the first of the move
ment, an undertone of politics began TO
be heard. Two years before, the
municipality had treated itself to an
entirely new set of officials that had
given fair satisfaction. So successful
had they been, in fact, that the ''outs'
had very little grounds for hope that
they would be ,reinstated in the posi-
tions which they had lost. To these
people the Crusade was God-send.
They boarded it, bag and baggage, and
soon worked their way well toward the
front of the procession. The acts of
the municipal administration were
scrutinized with vew to the discovery
of defects. The mayor, who had been
successful in the management of his Of
fee, more from the fact that he hao
been surrounded by level-headed
friends than from any intrinsic merit
of his own, felt that he was a marked
man, and had nothing to hope from the
Crusade element. He
had enforced the ordinances against
the saloons in a rigorous, not to say
ruthless, manner, and consequently
was not in high favor with that element.
He was placed in the humiliating posi-
tion of having to depend upon the sup
port of the element he had SO persist
emily antagonized, if he was to be re
elected. He was not long in coming 10
the conclusion that his prospects re-
quired an interview with the saloon
keeper. That individual was under
constant surveillance, and the mayor
felt that his own movements were not
wholly disregarded. A meeting was
through the kindly offices of
a mutual friend. One gloomy Sunday !
abont three o'clock, the |
mayor went to the house of a friend and |
was seen no more antil the next MORN |
ing. About half past ten o'clock that |
night, the saloon keeper dropped in. |
W ith the aid of few friends, an agree
ment was reached, a complete plan OF |
was mapped out, the sinews !
Of war were provided, each mans work |
was cut out for him. The saloon keep

The issuing of bonds is an outrage

cry name connected with the disreput-
able transaction.
Recent authentic statistics prove
that a sum of money equal to the en-
tire circulating medium of this nation
must pass from the hands of the people
OF this nation into the Golfers of the in
terest takers at least once every six
months. and that means that on an
average of every six months the people
must reborrow the money from the in
terest takers with new securities. Thus
the compound system grows, and If
not checked it viii! absorb all wealth
and leave the laborer in abject servi-
tude.
Although through this process more
than any other, the rich are becoming
richer and the poor poorer, no labor
ing man thinks for q moment that he
escapes the burden; idleness never paid
a penny of debt. Labor produces the
wealth, beauties the earth and pays
all interest, debts and taxes, and it is
the duty of labor throughout the length
and breadth of this nation to put its
foot down SO hard on the present
scheme to increase the national debt
that the very capitol at Washington
will tremble from its righteous pro-
sestat;ons.''

Strange changes occur in politics. Once
upon time David B. Hill, of New York,
said 81 am democrat" and his trench
ant remark became proverb, used by the
mossbacks all over the land. with which
to rebuke the mugwump tendencies of
Cleveland. Now Cleveland, with his
golden standard and free trade siren song,
has so beguiled the priscely nabobs of
democracy in the U. S. senate that they
are ready to turn Hill out of the party
councils, and let him go in party to HIM
self.

The democratic senators have held 3
conference over the tariff bill and suffi-
Gent majority Of them have agreed to put
it through in spite of Senator Hills oppo-
si.ion. We hope to see it speedily passed,
for 50 long as it is threatened the actual
conditions will be the same as if it were
already passed, aud there is no argument
that will convince the mass Of those who
oppose protection except trial Of lower
tariff. Let it be tried once, and then
another generation will pass before the
people will want to try it again.

| NELSON AsLEY: The most noted Of all
the western bad men, perhaps because
he has most murders to his credit, is Bat
Masterson himself. Masterson was born
in Middleton, ILL.,, about thirty six years
ago. His father was . well-to-do far
mer but the boy did not avail himself Of
his educational opportunities. While his
companions were studying at school,
young Masterson could be found In the
woods practising with revolver. and to
this early training is no doubt due the
phenomenal skill with that weapon which
he has displayed. The number Of deaths
credited to Bat Masterson range all the
way from i've to twenty-eight. Perhaps
a fair average would be sixteen. Master
son hal established . reputation -
shooter when he was made marshal of
Dodge City, Kansas. Here, In the early
seventies, his brother, who was the
sheriff. was killed by five Texas cowboys.
As BOON as Bat learned of this he sought
out the men and at once shot the whole
five down. He distinguished himself in
those days as an indian fighter and
buffalo hunter, but while he was practis-
ing with his rifle and revolver he did not
cease to perfect himself in bis skill with
the cards. When the railroads opened
up Colorado to the world he went thither,
establishing innumerable gambling plac-
es, and because of his fearlessness and
his skill with the pistol was elected
marshal at different times of half dozen
infant cities, in each of which there is at
least one grave in the cemetary filed by
the victim of his revolver. MastersOn is
a man of medium height. with an intel
lectual face. strange as it may seem, and
is not addicted to profanity or liquor.
His friends claim, and with show of
Justice, that he never drew his revolver |
except in the interest of the law.
