A GREAT TASK.

rhs Difficulty of Overcoming the Conss.

The consequences of nearly thirty
years of robbery by protected monopo-
lists are not easily overcome The
democratic party has n great aud seri-
Gus task. 1t has undertaken to reform
the tariff and 20 turn back the prin.
ciple OF tariff legislation TO the right
method, the method that prevailed In
framing the Walker tariff aud the tariff
OF 1851 But IL is met on the thr shold
of its reform work by gigantic com
bination of interests that have been
built up by the republicans, who have
taxed the people 30 enrich monopolists

tions 20 campaign funds
II is a hard task, but the democratic
party is making an effort 20 reform
Rbuses. The people have determined
to be rid of the odious sys tenn which
wrings millions of dollars from the m
through tariff taxes for the benefit Of
millionaires, and the democratic party
is pledged 20 help them.
If there is too much resistance there
may be more destruction than was con-
templated. Carnegie, with his pockets

stolen for him by the republican party,

There are men calling themselves

VIEWS ON sHERMAN'S BOOK
Made-Foraker Says it is
UntimeIy.

Cleveland, O., Oct. ia great deal
of interest is manifested here by politi-
cal workers concerning the review of
Senator Sherman's book which was sent
out from Chicago last night exclusively
by the Associated press.
The eldest son of the late President,
Harry A. Garfield, was seen today by
an Associated press reporter and, while
adverse to expressing himself, finally
said: Il would much prefer not to be
quoted or to say anything on the sub
ject. 1t has been the policy of the fam
lily not to reply to charges that are made
against my father, so we have never CIV
en- any attention to such as the Roscoe
COnkling matter and other things OF
that kind. There is in the possession CT
our family all the letters, manuscripts.
diaries and such material that was left
by my father and it is our intention TO
answer all charges in the form of a BIZ
ography, rather than as the charges are
made.
II do know one thing. I am and have
been warm admrer and friend OF SEN
ator Sherman's and know my father al
ways was. Of course Senator Sherman has
everybody else. The nomina ton in 1880
was considered by my fathers friends
and nearly everybody to be the result Of
peculiar condition of affairs. Whatever
Senator Sherman may think of 1T Is his
own matter and he has Il right to his
own opinions 1t may be that we will
have something to say regarding this mat
ter, but l will not say what we will or will
not. I could only say that after a con-
ference with the family and looking over
some of the papers. 1t does not seem to
me right or proper for anyone to make
charges by inference. They should be
substantated by papers and documents.
I do not care to enter into controversy
over it and prefer not to discuss the mat
ter until l have seen the book, which I
have ordered I think whatever reply
we may decide to make will likely be
made in the form of biography, but at
the same time it is possible we may de-
eide otherwise and make statement re-
garding it,
Columbus, O.. Oct. 19.-Ex-Gov. For
aker, being asked what he knew or
thought of what Senator Shermans new
book, replied: 81 have not seen the
book l do not know anything about
it's contents, but if as stated in the news
papers it criticises prominent Republic
ans, am sorry the proof sheets could
not have been withheld until after the
election"

open. It was a balmyv evening with no
moon, though the sky was bright with
stars. Coming out Of the shamiana,
where it had been brilliantly lighted up,
it seemed darker than it really was.
"Let US have campfire" suggested
Mrs. Dene to her husband, who had fol-
lowed. ts
'eYou will find it very hot and sitting :"
"It will be more cheerful" she per-
sisted.
He shrugged his shoulders, but gave the
order, and a few moments later q bright
log-hre was burning
But the result proved Captain Dene to
be right The warm wind that was blow
ing became unbearable now that it was
charged with the heat of the huge fire
and volumes of binding smoke as well as
dust.
The deputy commissioner and Colonel
Grey, with Captain Dene, walked away
from it at once, but Mrs Dene, for con-
sistency's sake, tried to put up with it a
little longer. and the rest were eager to
support her.
Ladies are very seldom wrong" be-
gan Major Larron, hesitatingly.
"But one of them has spoiled her pres
tige," laughed Mrs. Dene. "Neyer mind,
the exception proves the rule"
''You ought not to stand there, the heat
is unbearable," went on Hon. Barry, 60
ing over to James side.
Colonel Prinsep was standing near her,
and, without meaning it, she looked up
Questioningly into his face.
Eyes, it is too hot; let us go into the
COOL" he said, answering the implied in
quiry by moving few steps further off.
She accompanied him, and presently at
his suggestion both turned and went to-
gether out If sight.
Val Graeme, who had also meant to
join her, looked taken aback for a mo-
ment, but recovered himself directly,
thinking he knew the reason of the Col
onel's interference. 1t was most proba-
bly, on account Of what he had himself
said while dressing in the tent. Reas-
sured, he walked over to where the other
men were seated smoking
But Major Larron became white with
rage. He made q movement to follow
them, then changed his mind, and COM
ing to sense of what was expected from
him, turned back and stood by Mrs.
Dene's side.
II am unfortunate" he observed, with
an uncomfortable laugh.
ut was not her fault" she answered,
gently.
"No, dare say not; but, Mrs. Dene, do
you think that have any chance"
He leaned toward her, his dark-brown
eyes scanning her face anxiously to see
if he could read his fate, but she shook
her head gravely
II am the last person you should ask.
Even if I knew her feelings, could l be-
tray her trust?'
II forgot You are right. Only, if ever
it should be in your power, may l count
upon your help?'
Had he been pleading for her own love
instead of merely for the aid of her in
huence with another woman, he could not
have been more earnest.
They could see no one; but all that had
passed between them had been of vivid
clearness to the rest. The scene, framed
in the Pickering freight, seemed burned
into Gerald Dene's brain as he gazed, un-
conscious Of everything save that the
barrier which past events had erected be-
tween his wife and the man to whom she
was once engaged to be married seemed
to be broken down at last.

OCEAN GRAYHCUNDS RACE.
st. Louis and Majestic Competing in the
Mail S0rYiCA.

New York, Oct 1.-THE American
line steamer st. Louis sped from the
harbor yesterday on it's run with the mails
across the ocean. 1t left the pier in the
North River four hours ahead of it's
rival, the White Star liner Majestic, but
that fact may not in the least stifle the
ambition of the craft to get their postal
matter in London first.
What lends additional interest to the
journey of the two ships is the fact that
through the medium of the ST. Louis
the American line starts with this trip
a postal contract with the United States
government that will net the steamship
company $644,SOO year, or $6,448, 900
for the ten years in which the agreement
will hold good. These figures are given
on the basis of one trip to Europe each
week by any of the four greyhounds,
the st. Louis, st. Paul, Paris or New
York.
Each trip will be made over a course
averaging 310O sea miles from dock to
dock. the rate of compensation being 81
a mile, or $12,40O a trip. This postal
revenue to the company is exclusive of
any the British government may give for
the home passages.
