the great trees seemed to stretch down
their arms and cover him as he neared
there. His brain felt dizzy after the
strange interview, and he wanted to get
back to everyday surroundings to be
able to think quietly. The whole thing
was prcpostcrous, and yet
Valid Ali watched him for moment
or two, then called to him.
"A-re, sahib! Are we TO part in anger,
then, because / have offered you that
which you cannot take? 1t is that
should be angered, that you take half
my confidence for an idle tale and half
for the old mans rawlings. Let us part
In good fellowship at any rate, if we are
to meet hereafter as strangers. Come
back to the fire. sahib, and warm your
self before you go, and take a puff at
my hookah, t6 show that we are still
friends. Come!"
Esdaile turned back at the words and
complied. Certainly this strange old
man, with his wild schemes, had the
power of drawing other men to him,
though race and religion separated
them. Tomorrow he would seek him
out In his own house, and discuss the
whole thing again, and argue with him
st length. Meanwhile he puffed at the
hookah and inhaled---once, twice, thrice.
"W!.l the sahib be grnciously pleased
to take his bath? 1t is past eight
o'clock"
There was broad daylight streaming
In through the door Of the tent, with tho
sunlight sparkling through the trees

fell upon Esdaile's ear. BY the bedside
stood his bearer with n jug Of shaving

him with unbelieving eyes

What Elind Men DO.

Ono is sometimes almost inclined to
doubt if seeing is, after all, SO necessary Il
sense as it seems to us who enjoy 1t. Blind
people can, ii they will, do so many things
which we arc apt TO regard as reserved for
men and women with eyes.
One of these is blind gentleman OF
Paris, who has taken to riding tho bicycle.
He does rot, indeed, attempt to ride en-
tirely alone, but is accompanied by a
friend, who touches him or his wheel from
time to time il such u way as to assure
him that he is getting in no ones way
and that his way Is clear.
Other blind persons have done things as
remarkable as this. M. Edgar Guilbeau,
a blind man who founded Il museum for
tho blind, was able to ride Il horse, swim
in the river. 60 about alone through tho
streets of Paris and even TO explore with
out guide through the precipitous noun
tain region about Cauterets in tho Pyre-
noes. He also wrote and published two vol
umes OF pcctry-not SO remarkable an
achievement for blind person. since poet
~ and blindness are often found in conf
pany.
A still moro remarkable blind man was
Vidal, tic sculptor who, indeed, learned
his art while seeing and lost his sight at
the age of 2S. He was not discouraged by
this calamity, but became successful
sculptor of animals. He was SO proud Of
his triumph over misfortune that he signed
all his works, "Vidal, aveugle" Vidal,
the blind man.
John Mnrchant Mundy, an American
blind sculptor, is the author of statue of
Washington Irving at Tarrytown, n. Y,
which has been mach admired.-Youth' q

IT WAS A SUCCESS.
The Ladies' Meeting at the Wigwam
Last Evening.

The ladies made a decided success
of their silver meeting at the wigwam
last night, under the auspices of the
Peoples party, and had a large audi
ence.
Mrs. A. B. Andrews presided, and
proved herself a model chairman, and
the enthusiastic silverites in the seats
seemed to like the change. The speak
er of the evening was w. D. Gould.
He took pains to answer every objec-
ton so far put forth by the Republi-
cans and the few others who advocate
sound" money, without being very
sound in their own logic. Finally Mr..
Gould portrayed very vividly the pres
ent distress of the country, due to the
prevailing gold standard and European
manipulation. 1t was true, he said, that
we had an American financial system,
without going out of the way to ask
the leave of Europe. The music was by
the Vernon Veterans club drum corps
and the Salyer children.
Tonight Mrs. Andrews will speak on
free coinage under the auspices of the
Central Bryan Silver club. She is a
good speaker and has a very pleasing
manner of delivery

Judicial decisions have two issues.
First to absolutely determine the case
decided, and, secondly. to indicate 10
the public how other similar cases will
be decided when they arise. For the
latter use they are called precedents,
and are of greater or less authority,
according TO circumstances. If the
Dred Scott decision had been made by
the unanimous concurrence Of all the
judges and without any apparent par
tisan bias and in accordance with legal
expectation and the steady practice of
the departments throughout our hsto-
ry, or if it had been before the court
more than once and had there been af
firmed and reaffirmed through & course
of years, it might then be f2Ctio,s rot
to acquiesce in it as precG dent. Rut
when. as is true. we find it warting in
all these claims TO the public contidence,
it is not factious. it is not even disre-
spectful. to treat it as not having set
quite established a settled doctrine of
the country. This same court ono"
decided a national bank to be corsti-
tutional, but General Jacks on. as pres
ident of the United States di"regarded
the decision ard vetoed bill for re-
charter of the bank partly or eonstitu
tiona1 grounds Again and again have
heard Judge Douglas denounre that de-
cision and applaud General Jackson fir
disregarding it. The sacredress which
Judge Douglas throws around the We
toed Scott decision is degree of sacred
ness that has never been thrown around
any other decision. 7 never heard of
such thing. We believe the vetoed
Scott decision to be erroneous. We
know that the court that made it has
often overrulad itr own deciSions. and
we shall do what we can to overiule
this. .'-LincolnD Douglas debates. 1857.

this about they can effect the defeat OF
Mr.. Snyder to a certainty. This done,
the proposition of municipal ownership
has received black eye.
Among true Democrats there Is no
dissatisfaction with the nomination of
Mr. Snyder. He represents no faction,
but stands for the whole party. The
Only element in his own party that op-
poses Snyder now is a certain clique of
would-be, proclaimed Democrats,
who as a matter of fact bear the same
relation to the body polite as do that
class of human beings who guard the
harems of Oriental potentates, with pow
er neither to beget nor bear-despised by
men and hated by women" In other
words they are political eunichs who
seek to stab the unanimous nominee of
their party in the back, while they are
hiding under the cloak of Democracy.
They are few in numbers and they are
working hand in glove with the City
Water company with the allied villainies
in the attempt to effect a cowardly and
treacherous betrayal of the people.
The Los Angeles Times, the approved
and accepted organ Of the water COM
pany. is working with this element and
for its masters. 1t, too. is by cowardly
lying and subterfuge attempting to dis
credit the efforts Mr.. Snyder has already
made toward municipal ownership as
well as to cast doubt upon the pledges
he has made as to his future course. Be
fore Mr.. Snyder SO mortally offended the
water company by fighting for a reduc-
ton Of its rates the Times saw much in
him to admire. This can be established
by reference to its editorial and local
columns.
But now 1t Is different. Mr. Snyder
stood by the people and against the
water company and the Times must of
necessity fight him to the bitter end.
The usual methods of the paper will be
adopted-vituperativ lying abuse.
The people might as well understand
certain things now that the battle is on.
1t is better that they should know now
than to wait until after the conflict is
over and then explain to them what they
opposed

to the clang Of the knocker. startling
contrast is discovered.
Mrs. Lathrop says that she has long
desired to do something in aiding and
assisting her fellow creatures. She had
learned that the sufferers from cancers
in the tenement house districts were
among the most neglected of people,
even their own friends and families
often refusing to care for them. She
knew that there were hundreds of these
afflicted ones among the poor, many of
whom were incurable.
Mrs. Lathrop has a small income
which she proposese to devote to her new
charity, as we'll as her time and personal
services, and thus far she has borne
alone all the expenses of her outfit. She
had hoped to secure a place large enough
to establish a small hospital ward, but
the objections of landlords and tenants
to such an institution in their buildings
became an insuperable obstacle, so for
the present she will carry on her work
by house to house visits largely. though
she can treat some of the lighter cases
at her own rooms. Her active work will
begin next week, when her supply Of
drugs and medicines has been received.
She has one case, that of a little child.
under her charge now, and several other
cases are waiting for her
