The People Are In Earnest.

The masses everywhere are for the
Democratic ticket this year. They rec
ognize the fact that the issues joined in
this campaign are between the people
III one side and the plutocrats Oh the
other. In order to resist the encroach-
ments of the money power it is neces-
sary for them to stand firm and united.
Such, indeed, is the earnestness of the
people in the campaign which is now
pending that 10 consideration whatever
can swerve them from the lines OF pa
triotism. Atlanta Constitution.

Universal Slavery.

The creditors of the world in gold
countries have, since 1878, doubled
their lien upon their neighbors' property
without advancing another cent to
them. For every ounce Of human prod
ucts which the debtors then owed the
creditors they now owe them two. For
every days labo: that would then be
required to pay off the debt it would
now require two. For every life that
should have been spent in releasing the
bond upon human energy two lives must
now be spent. In a word, the weight
imposed by debt upon the sum of human
energy. the suffering, the agony, re-
quired to emancipate humanity from
the load has been doubled.
Nor is this all. The process is a con-
tinuing one. The weight is still increas-
ing and i'll an increasing ratio. If it
continue much longer, it means univer-
sal revolution and reputation or uni

the little vigil lamp under picture of

seized the big brass cymbals and began
clashing them and shrieking until the
hunters from a neighboring camp
came to my rescue; and about 100 yards
away, my six companions were found
all lying in line, their bodies whole,
but their blood drained to the last drop
from the fang holes in their threats.
Yes, Sahib, a tiger has done this work"
repeated Ramjan as he finished, and
gave furtive glance towards the deep
ening shades of the jungle.
Ramjan's solution was the only one
available. and soon trail of spots was
discovered, dried by the fierce sun, yet
om'nous that beyond were at least
some remains of what we were look

cending the ladder, l saw just in front
of me monster tigrcss, in act to
spring. Shouting: "Stand firm," let
myself drop down inside the wall, just
as the monster, intoxicated from the
sanguinary revel, sprang, first on the
wall, and thence in her mad fury on

up the walk; but no sooner were they on

inclosure, and they were thrown in a
heap with their reeking mother.

And under 20 armfuls of wood and a
barrel of oil from the lamp cellar, the
three striped demons of the jungle
were soon consumed to ashes, amid the
exulting yells of the men.
But L, missing Donald's tall form and
divining something of the cause, again

followed by the soldiers. We were just
entering the jungle when we came up

on his knees sobbing like little child.
Again and again he kissed the white,

bloodless body of the dead babe, and
laid it beside it's mother. Tears filed
the eyes of all those rude, war-hard-
ened men, as they stood by, resting
upon their muskets, gazing on the pa

victims not far away, and laid them in
q single grave. But Nora and her baby
we buried apart from the rest, with

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

befallen Sanger island light station.
Proceed there with all possible speed,
land with sufficient force, ascertain
cause and report by signal through
Kedgeree station. BY order OF Halli-
day, lieutenant governor" On making
out the message I turned sharp round
and proceeded down stream with the
rushing ebb tide, everybody wonder
ing what could have happened. 1t was
suggested that perhaps the rebels were
making flank movement and Destroy
ing the light towers and beacons of the
dangerous channels. If that should
prove to be the case we were likely to
have hot work to do. Long before we
sighted the Sanger light tower over the
skirt of the great jungle all hands,
sailors and soldiers, armed and ready
for action, crowded the fore deck
straining for the first sight of the sta
ton, the prospective scene of battle and
revenge.
Finally Kedgeree station came in
sight, with danger signals flying at it's
flagstaff; and then, about five miles
distant, the tall red and white tower
of Sanger island, it's light still burning,
although the sky was cloudless and the
afternoon sun blazed with unusual
brightness over the jungle land on
either side, and the dangerous chan
nels through the worlds most dreaded
quicksands. There was no longer any
doubt that some dreadful calamity
really had befallen the lonely station.
AS we neared, fever of excitement
arose among the soldiers. We had
scarcely anchored when some of the
Highlanders, fully armed, jumped
overheard and swan to the landing,
while the others struggled for places in
my launch. We pulled hastily for the
force of ten Laskars and other sailors
and rs soldiers was drawn up before
the gateway in the high wall that in
closed the station and it's grounds. But
the gate was locked on the inside. No
signs of footmarks could be seen, nor
could sounds of any kind be heard.
Nothing ominous was to be seen ex-
revolving weirdly round and round.
The sullen looks of the soldiers changed
to bewilderment and disappointment
MS the boatswain called down from the
top of the scaling ladder: 81 can see no
signs of life, sir, about the buildings or
grounds. Only there's queer, warn
ing kind of look about the place. Bet
ter be on guard against surprise"
Then, descending on the inside, he
