Mary's estimate OF Lefty will never
be known. for the conversation was In
terrupted at this point by poise. which
sounded 70 Harold like the threatening
growing Of an angry beast. What In
time is thats" he interrupted, bat before
Mary could reply . fearful apparition
appeared before his astonished gaze. II
was larger than the largest house be
had ever seen. At times IL appeared to
, be perfectly round. and IL rolled along
the ground with force that must have
.cruahed even the largest of the huge
trees had 1t not hsttened itself 80 as to
avoid them. As IL came nearer the
sound Of growing increased to that of
the rumble Of heavy thunder, and pent
mp lightning seemed TO shine from Ats
myriad eyes.
1T Is coming this way" gssped
Mary. Harold. have you ever
workedf'
mo" replied Harold. "why should
II My'father's wealth"----
"Will not save you," interrupted
Mary. "Thstv--pointing TO the terri
BILE thing swiftly rolling toward them
"that is the Colossal Scheme"
Even as she spoke she took Harold by
the shoulders, and with almost superhu-
man strength tossed him to one side.
The huge creature rolled on, leaving
poor Mary crushed to death on the very
spot where but second before she had
been so full Of life and strength. A
crowd of mourners soon gathered about
her prostrate form.
1T is fate, said the more philosoph-
ical among them. mo great Scheme
was ever set on foot for the benefit of
humanity that aid not oount it's innocent
victims by scores before 1t began to
operate successfully"
but what - this Schemes" inquired
Harold.
1T was started, . explained the Live
forever, for the purpose of snnihilst-
ing those individuals who are born tired.
/ presume it was In search of you, who
have as yet made yourself needful TO no
one; but, as yon see, our noble Mary
has given her life for yours. Young
man, you must work for a living, either
as housekeeper, shopboy, chambermsn,
nurseboy or retailer of system supplies. !"
Harold was about to declare himself
in favor Of the last mentioned alterna-
tive when Lefty, who had been bending
over Mary, came to his side and placed
her hand on his arm.
Harold, said she softly, should
you prefer to have mo like my grand
mother?"
Lefty" he retorted, should You
prefer TO have me like my kinsman. Mr..
James Winthrop"
Then the lovers looked into each
others eyes and smiled. They realized
that each was dependent on the other
made so by love which was stronger
than the prejudices Of either-and ST.
multaneously they agreed to strike q
compromise.
1--WE will spend our lives, said Har-
old, lin trying to teach that what one
thinks is right because IL seems to be in
the natural order of things Is more Of
ten right only because custom has taught
us so to regard it,"
"We will, +" added Lefty, look for
ward to day when we shall have
taught people to. consider a condition

exact and impartial Justice
They threw their arms around each
other, and their lips met In . rapturous
salute.

STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND
PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS.
Asheville daily citizen., 1894-12-20
a MISTAKE MADE.

We find from expressions OF opinion
that have come to THE CITIZEN from
some of its warmest friends, that the
criticism OF the position taken by Rev.
]. l.. White IN his pulpit Sunday with
regard to "woman's rights women" has
been misunderstood. The word "ungen-
tlemanly" as there applied has been in
tcrpreted as though THE CITIZEN had SAID
Mr.. White was not gentleman. This,
of course, was not the idea intended to
b. conveyed, and. therefore. so far as it
could be construed in that sense it is
withdrawn. We believe on reelection,
too, that we were more severe in our
criticism than the circumstances war
ranted, aud we regret that fact.
Having thus frankly met Mr. White,
and the friends who have called this mat.
ter to THE CITIZENS attention, in asprt
that we are sure he and they can appre'
ciate, We ask him aud them it he would
not do becoming, christian, a gentle
manly thing to reconsider the phrase le
used, as applied, not to women i'll ger
cral, but to two whose identity was
plainly evident from the context OF his
remarks unmarried of course?
We shall see which shall 90 the further
reverend or layman. in doing that very
unpleasant, but, at times. very becoming
thing, ackuow wledge an error.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

The Democrats Managed tho Finances
Better Than the Republicans.
Judge D. l.. Russell in Wilmington Messenger
1--WE cannot afford to permit anything
that looks like restoration Of the ex-
travasance and financial corruption Of
the reconstruction period. 1t is simple
truth and justice to admit that the
Democratic party, representing, as it did,
the great majority of the white people
of the eastern counties, manage d their
finances better than the Republicans did
County after county could be named that
was brought to bankruptcy and some.
times by the corruption of men nomina-
ted and elected by the colored vote; and
brought back to good credit by the non.
elective policy of ,he Democrats. How
could it be otherwise Does anybody ex.
pect the agents of Tammany Hall to give
as good government as the representa-
tives of the property holders, of the tax
PAYERS of the educated classes, of the
churches?
Just as sure as we return to the cleo
tive system in the eastern counties, elect.
ing local magistrates by the township
and county governors by the county,
Just so certain will we have reign of
corruption and misgovernment, result
ing in our repudiation by the white peo-
pie and in the restoration of the Demo-
oc attic party to power in the State.
We have with us now an actual major
itv of all the white people of the State
and a vast majority of the plain people,
or the men who plough their own fields
and live upon the products Of their own
lands, the very best people in the State.
These men will not submit to negro
government, or to anything that looks
like it,"
Then do you propose to ignore the re-
gro entirely-to let him do the voting
while you and the other leaders hold the
Offices!
We'll. as to the Offices" the Judge
said, II have not held any for a long
time or iied to get any; nor am now
seeking any. can get good living out
of my Democratic friends and clients.
We do not say that the colored man
shall not hold office. but we do say that
their office holding rust BE- confined to
those who are fit tor il. and who are
friendly to the whites, and to srch limits
as to show that our local affairs will

A GENIUS.

Robert Louis Stevenson, who died sud.
denly in Samoa early in the present
month, attained greatness in the proies-
sion or art Of letters, and was also able,
without dying long ago, to smoke over
100 cigarettes day. This seems trivial
to print in final word OF one Of the few
men OF letters Of his time aud country
who united to an ability to fascinate bv
the interest he excited In his stories the
charm Of beautiful, II not wholly origi.
nal, style. But the iuxtaposition Of the
statements 10 justified BY the facts of the
death of the novelist. Long sufferer
from consumption, It appears, from the
meager accounts we have Of his last
hours, that the immediate cause Of HE
death lay nearer to excessive smoking
than to Tuberculosis.

The Decree Soon to Be Given

Country.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-Archbishop
Corrigan denied himself to reporters
who sought to obtain his views regard
ing the ecclesiastical introduction of
secret societies promulgated by Bishop
Mcdonnell Of Brooklyn to a conference
of priests of his diocese. Vicar Gen
eral Farley admitted the truth Of the
statement that such al order had been
promulgated.
1.-The Odd Fellows, the Sons Of Tenn
perance and the Knights of Pythias
have been interdicted, he said. The
movement against secret societies was
determined upon by the council Of the
archbishops of the Roman ;. Catholic
church in the United States held in
Chicago in September, 1898. That
council formulated recommends cations
which were forwarded TO the pope who
in turn laid them before conference
of cardinals which endorsed them, the
pope thereupon affixing his seal to a de-
cree Of condemnation. Bishop Melon
nell is the first to give the decree pub
licity and his course will be quickly
followed by other prelates throughout

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

Messrs. Turpie and Perkins Speak on the
Nicaragua Canal Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Practically
all the time of the senate was occupied
by speeches on the Nicaragua canal
bill. Mr.. Turpie of Indiana, who has
been speaking daily since Monday,
completed his speech against the bill,
making critical analysis of the varl-
GUS provisions Of the measure. At its
conclusion he offered an amendment
providing for the appointment of a
board of three engineers to make sur
vey and estimate Of the cost of the
canal. This was as far as congress
ought to go at this session, he thought.
Senator Perkins of California favored
the building of the canal and pointed
out the benefits which he thought
would accrue from its construction.
The senate, after short executive
session, adjourned.

PINE LAND ESTIMATES.

Work of Cross Sectonins In the Chippewa
Country Will Be Pushed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - Assistant
Chief Appraiser Reed of the Red Lake
force of estimators now in Washington.
has recommended to the department.
that the work Of surveying known as
cross-sectioning, be pushed as rapidly
as possible through the Chippewa pine
country. The pine is estimated by 40
acre tracts, and the lack of cross
section lines seriously inpedes the
work Of the estimators. Commissioner
Lamoreaux says that the recommends
ton would be put into effect at once.
Mr. Reed reports that the people in
the vicinity Of Red Lake reservation
are very anxious that it be thrown open
to settlement at once, and thinks that
there would be very large immigra'
ton OF an agricultural population into
the reservation another season If the
lands were put on the market.

Bishop Mcdonnell, affecting secret So

The delegate says his only office in the
matter was to transmit the communica-

that it involved no action nor ruling on
his part. He was asked if the ban of
the church was to be placed on other
secret societies than the Knights Of
Pythias, Odd Fellows and Sons of Tenn

were affected, or what punishment
would be visited upon their individual

Favorable to Ray w. Jones.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The attor-
neys for rival claimants for lands at
Thief River Falls, leased from Chief
Moosedung, argued their claims before
Secretary Smith. The secretary re-
served his decision, but said at the con-
clusion Of the argument, that if it was
finally determined that the department
had jurisdiction, he would probably
sustain the decision of Assistant Secre-
tary Simms and approve the Jones
lease. Attorneys for the Meehans say
that the case will be carried into the
courts before they will finally y ield.
