SCHEMES IN THE LEGISLATURE.

"Another stroke and the heritage Of
Isabel lie Clair is mine, and not single
soul in the world shall ever know it.
The Governor Of the State OF New YORK
signs the bills. and l become a million
airel A millionaire. What am l say
ing? A multimiliOnaire I will be! And
she will never dream that my millions
are hers by right
So spoke Francis Raymond, lawyer
and politician, leader OF his party in the
county Of Kings, which embraces
Brooklyn.
We fnd him a visitor at Albany, the
CAPITAL of the State. He is not there
many hours before he is surrounded in
mis- suiteOf rooms in the Delavan by Sena-
tors. Assemblymen aud others whose
influence is potent for good or bad in
State or nun 9 pal government. He
seldom visits A,oany. except when more
than usually interested in some legisla-
ton, and his word goes a great way, for
he is a man of power. Hence the num-
Der and the character OF his guests.
A man about 40 years OF age, his COM
handing position has been won by
shrewdness that has allowed him TO
pose as a public spirited citizen, while
selfshness has really dominated all his
actions. He is the controlling power
behind one of the leading daily news
papers in his city--Thc IrlmDet-and
he secured for il, through special legis-
lation, a large income for publication Of
corporation and other legal notices that
guaranteed it support from the start.
The rival papers-there were three
of them-could find no fault with this,
for he very generously included them
in his scheme at the expense of the tax
PAYERS. This was q trick learned from
the Tweed ring in New York, which
paid over $, 900, 600 for work that $50
600 covers now in she publication OF
the The CitV Record. In this way pub
lie opinion, as represented In the press,
was at low cob and, as result, the
people were not disillusioned Of the
idea that the new order Of things was
anything but an honest, aye-magnam-
inous-deed Of public officers who
wanted 20 keep their constituents post
ed on their actions.
''Our city has grown rapidly" said
Raymond 70 the legislators around him.
"Our buildings are scattered over an
area OF thirty-two square miles and our
population is close 70 500, 600. We have
neglected the creation of parks, the
lungs of the city some one has styled
them. snd the people demand these i'm
Drovements. sm up here 70 have

lures. have here the reports OF public
meetings suggesting and approving this,
and as our county alone has 70 stand
the cost there should be no objection. "
He knew there would be none. A
state convention OF unusual Importance
would meet shortly after the close Of
tKe legislative session. His Own dele
cation. by virtne Of its numerical
strength, would be much sought after

and courted. Francis Ray mond was
known TO be very modest at conven-
tions. He never sought state noml-
nation for himself or his county. except
when it was expedient to have candl-
date for other purposes than nominal
ing. In other words, he would inVarl-
ably withdraw his man on assurance OF
legislative favor that would increase
his patronage in his ewn district aud
strengthen his hold upon the local gov
eminent and the party machine.
Thus are dictators made, cloSnlnR
themselves with powers that only
revolution can set aside.
Next morning the bills were intro
duced In the Senate and Assembly.
They were reported from the city S
committee at the evening session, agaln
read and passed, and were well on their
way to the Executive chamber to re-
ceive the signature that would make
them the law OF the land, before Fran
els Raymond thought OF leaving Al
bany.
What wonder that he looked In the
mirror and surveyed himself with pride?
He was not bad looking man, either.
His exterior - dark features, with
straight hair and imperial mustache
and eyes almost coal black-miRht nave
suggested the nature Of the man. But
his suavity, his diplomacy, his erect
carriage aud general bearing repealed

a prince OF good fellows.

so sudden that it startled himself. DE
stood silent a few minutes. thinking
whether or not his utterances had oeenas
clear as his musical cachination-it was
musical, for his vocal chords had been
tuned by elocutionary art, and they
sounded In harmony at all times, even
in moments of greatest excitement.

reassuringly. "No one will ever catch
me telling how l know Isabel's history
and acquired wealth that should be
hers. All the papers are DESTROYED, she
has not living relative, and her prop
erty is all mine, and all mine by law.
