CHAPTER X.


One night about seven years after this
the handsome fifty-four gun frigate, the
Naiad. flagship of Admiral Beaumont 5
squadron, and the slOops- Of-waT Vixen and
SDtfre lay at anchor off a town on the
South American coast. The night was
clear, although there was DO mnoD, and
the harbor lights shone steadily. The
town itself was iull Of life and light, the
Governors castle blaZed, and across the
dark water fioated the inspiring music If
several military bands. A grand official
ball to The admiral and his officers was in
progress Walking the deck of the SaiaG
was Brydell, now a handsome young en-
sign. He wore look of sublime resigna-
ton. He had wholesale appetite for
balls, bu' it being his watch that night he
was obliged to remain on board. In vain
had he made all sorts of advantageous
offers Of exchanging duty with the other
young watch officers, of whom Maxwell
his old acquaintance of the Constellation.
was one, and Cunliffe. who had turned out
a fine young fellow, was another. Brydell
had pleaded, cajoled and stOrmed the
other fellows only laughed at him and
went off to the ball.
just look over there at the Spitfre, 4"
growled Brydell to himself-the Spitfire
was commanded by Brydell's father-''the
old man hates balls, and has let all the
fellows go and stays at home and keeps
ship himself. / wish our captain was an
unsocial wid0wer like dad" And as If to
eXasperate bin further came a burst of
4, music from the shore, borne fitfully over
the water. Brydell glanced cynicalIy up
at the frigate's lights, which Indicated by
their arrangement that both admiral and
captain were on shore, while the SDitfire,
short distance of. although looming up
! indistinctly, yet showed by The lanterns
| on her shadowy spars that her captain was
aboard.
| However" thought Bfyden, slamming
! his cap 6ercely on his head, admiral
! beaumont is nearer right than my father.
/ Tor he gets all the solid fun there is ont of
life. That's the sort of admiral | mean
10 be-"
Brydel had enjoyed every moment Of
his cruise on the flagship. 1t was Admiral
Beaum0nts last sea service before his re-
tirement Iney expected 10 sail for home
within few davs, and when the admiral
! hauled down bis flag IL would BIZ for good.
He hid been known as a great martinez.
| but for he last few weeks he had become
rather more indulgent. especially in, the
matter of shore leave. and now. for the
! first time on the cruise. the ship had ON her
only one lieutenant, Verdery: one ensign
! Brydell, TWO young naval CADETS and one
| assistant engineer.
AS Brydel walked the deck some strang
! thoughts crossed his mind. They had that
! day taken on board from the Vixen a
number of men whose time was up and
who were to be conveyed hack to The
! United States, while he Vixen remained
on the South Atlantic station. And among
them was a sailor rated on the ship's
bonks as William Back, able seaman, -
| whom Brydeil instantly recognized in spite
of heavy full beard as Esdaile. He had
! heard nothing Of Grubb's disgraced son in

and the doctor walked in. lie went IN to
the bed.t'He's asleep. sir, said Brydell in
whisper. The doctor bent over MIN and
listened for his breathing.
Yes, he is asleep" he said after a little.
He viii wake no more"
Brydell told the admiral about Gruob's
last wish.
1T shall be done, by George cried the
admiral with tears in his eyes.
So poor Grnbb, after having served
twenty-fGur, going on twenty-five years,
was buried in his uniform ana taken on a
gun carriage covered with the flag TO his
las resting lace. and nobody asked about
his discharga papers; the admire arranged
all tha'. Behind The cotiin IF his hum bl e

but at that moment the frlga:e, as il
gathering herself for a mighty effort,
moved forward little, then stopped and
staggered, and again she was moving
ahead, although but slowly and un-
steadily. Brydell managed to keep her
mead To the wind, anu by degrees, as the
steam got up. she made little more

they could see the two sloops-of-war for
awhile, ahead of them, but when they had

We regret that the Pennsylvania R.
r. Company has been compelled to
reduce the wages OF tho employees in
order to make the receipts equal ex-
penses. Business has fallen or so
greatly, 1t is said, that this ro.rench-
ment along the whole line has become
an absolute necessity. Men who got
S150 per day. n year ago, will not get
Sl.l0. while those who got Sl.25, will
only get 81 for nine hours labor. A
few mon have quit work on account of
this reduction, but 1t Is presumed that
Il greater number Will bow to the
inevitable on the ground that a half
loaf is better than no bread. No.with-
standing the reports of works start
Ing up and the employment Of the
usual complement of hands, freight
and fares continue to decline and
heroic reductions are required. Those
who voted for tariff reductions arc
now being punished for their folly,
but as they were duly wa;ned they
have nobody TO blame but themselves.
1t is matter OF regret, however. that
the innocent must sulfer with tho
guilty. .... $685."

Owing to the election Of Grover
on a platform which de-.
ciared that protection was fraud. un-
and should be repealed,
tile industries OF our country were
FRUSTRATED, thousands OF men were
thrown out OF employment, and their
ability to purchase food and clothing
was so greatly lessened that the i'm
portation OF foreign goods fell on
nearly one half. aud the revenue de-
rived thereirom was eorrespondlngly
reduced. As result the receipts OF
the treasury fell below the exDendl-
lures. and the Government has been
forced to borrow money to pay the
demands upon 1t. Had the importa.
tons continued as under the Harrison
the receipts would
have bsen sufficient 10 meet all neces
sAry expenses, and there would be NJ
necessity for tho Issuance OF bond
FOR that purpose.
II Is singular that men Will ALLOW
their prejudlces to blind them TO self
evident influences. and impute to tn
Mckinley tariff losses resulting fro n
their own declarations of hostility 4
that measure. Had Cleveland bee
Defeated as he would have been had
not been for the false promises an
downright lies Of his partisans. Their
would have been no falling OF OF busl
ness, no shutting down OF factories

men, 10 soup houses. no decIe use O
, revenue. but our country would hav
continued prosperous, and would hav
gone on to prosper. TIE depression
and embarrassment and suffering ex
lperlenced are the result OF Democrat
victory, and we can never fully reeo,

WASHINGTON, April 3.-For five hours
yesterday roll call followed roll call in an
endless attempt to bring the Republican
fllibuster against the O'NeillJoy con-
tested election case to close, but at no
time were the Democrats able to muster
quorum and the fight was finally aban-
doned for the day. Mr.. Patterson Tenn J,
who has charge of the case, said: This
case will be kept before the house until it
is disposed of If il takes all summer. 1t
might as well be understood now MS later
on. Those who have any idea that it will
be abandoned will find that they are mis-
taken Just before the house adjourned
Mr.. Patterson gave notice that today he
would ask the house to sit in continuous
session until the case was decided. About
ten Democrats are voting on every roll
call against O'Neill, three of them from
his own state.
The principal interest in the senate yes
terday conferred in the speech of Senator
Ooorhees, the chairman of the committee
on finance, who thus launched the tariff
question upon the sea of senatorial debate.

energy which characterized his usual ex

attendance both on the floor and in the
galleries, and the conclusion of his speech
was greeted with n hearty burst of APP

come tax feature and the free wool clause,
and as vigorously condemned the sugar
bounty and reciprocity features of the Nc
kinley bill. In the morning hour Senator
Morgan sought to have passed bill pro
