was request to me to accept the filing
of these lands, and my emphatic re.
fusal to do so. Recently, to my intense
surprise and pain, it has come to my
knowledge that representatives of the
Great Northern railway for some time
prior to and during the
POpulist State Convention
were openly stating that they paid me
sums variously stated at from $25. 900
to $4,000 in consideration of which l
agreed to waive my objection and Ger
tify all selections of land they might
present TO me. Even my old friend MIR.
Doran has said that demanded $4,000
as the price of my compliance with the
request of the company. These reports
were carefully and SedulOuSly spread in
quarters where it was expected they
would prevent my denomination for
this Office under circumstances which
they feared might result in my re-
election.
l denounce those statements as ma
liclous taISehoodS. No man ever Of
fered OF dared TO offer or hint an offer
to me OF bribe in this case. OF any
other. TO influence me In my official ac

Increase in Tariffs.
WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-The secre-
tary of state has received information
from the American consul at Callao,
Peru. stating that the acting president
of Peru had issued decree in which he
recites that the present tariff was pred
lcated upon value of 81 pence per
ouncessilyer. But now that it has fallen
so far below that value. equity to the
government and commerce requires
that the value of tho silver shall be
fixed at 80 pence. This decree, the
consul says, was received with dlsfavor
by the business community. as it prac l.
cally demonetizes the silver currency
of the country and increases the Gus
toms duties about 15 per cent.

Il suppose there is a good deal OF

Eyes. For example, one of our
finest colonists, Mr.. Amos Miks, went
up the river to see about sending down
a large quantity of logs, which had
been cut from the forests Ia that re-
gion- He found the logs in a creek all
ready to be raised when the food came.
At last the flood did come and the logs
were started, he, of course, supposing
that farther down the river there were
men waiting TO care for them-that is,
who had had q boom constructed
across the river to stop thsm-but all
those logs went down 10 the sea. That
was one thing thich could not seem
TO forgive; there was lack of concert
OF action somewhere. MIR. Miks had
left word that everything should DO
looked after, but no heed was paid TO
what he said, and thus great loss fol-
lowed. Yet that very same young man
is struggling now, and working just
as hard as ever, and Is going to send

The Shelley of Muskrat Swamp lay
dying in his bunk Outside, the wind
roared through the bush; the churned

against the wooden piers, their rough

Amid the bowling of the wind, the
fhoarse roar Of the food, the crackie Of
the logs upon the hearth, came the
soft siivery tone of the invalid reciting
a moving composition which had occu-
pied his attention for the last ten hours

occupied in splitting blood or coughing.

sold our home and went down to the

Mr.. Rowland and myself became
interested in the colony through our
acquaintance with Mr.. Owen. We got
acquainted with him by his coming to
our home, 'Casatonti,' in Hammonton,
n. j.; he had read my novel, 'Papas
Own Girl, which deals with labor sub
jects, and had come to see me. This
was at time when our home and its
surroundings looked very beautiful, al
though they did not represent great
wealth. We had spent the greater part
OF eighteen years in identifying the
house, building additions, etc, until it
was most attractive place.
The Straits Of Joshua whore our
settlement Is, are rocky, and Alberton
