he was right, for as the tug hurried on
Tarboe ran to Joan, hugged her like n
bear, and roared till he ached. Then
she paid out the sheet, they clapped on
all sail, and travelled in the track of
the enemy.
Tarboe's spirit was reused. He was
not disposed to let his enemy off on
even such terms, so he now turned to
Joan, and said: "What say you, my en-
sign, to chase of the gentleman?"
Joan was in mood for such 4 dare
devil adventure. For three people, one
of whom was a girl, to give chase to a
well-manned, well-armed government
boat was too good a relish to be
missed. Then, too, 1t had just oc-

said: ''That is very good"
Suppose they should turn and
fight" suggested Bissonnette.
''That's true-here's Joan," agreed
Tarboe.
''But, see," said Joan, 'if we chase
them and call upon them to surrender
and, after all, we can prove that we
had nothing contraband-what splen-

shall be rich man, and then they will
not dare to come again"
So saying he gave the sail to the
wind, and away the Ninety-nine went
after the one eve lamb of the govern
ment.
Mr.. Martin saw her coming, and gave
word for all steam. 1t would be a pret-
ty game, for the wind was in Tarboe's
favor, and the general advantage was
not greatly with the tug. Mr.. Martin
was now anxious, indeed, to get out of
the way of the smuggler. Lafarge
made one restraining effort, then set
tied into an ironical mood. Yet half
dozen times he was inclined to blurt
out the truth to Martin. A man, a boy
and girl to bluff them that wayl And
in his bones he felt that it was the girl
who was behind this thing. OF one
matter he was sure-thev had no con-
traband stuff on board, or Tarboe

Of, are already wh,stling down the sill
yer storm that is a-brewing. We are
not too sure that It's not case either of
over-confdence or of whistling to keep
their courage up. Of one thing We are
beginning to feel assured and that is,
that the interests of the manufacturing
and money-lending east and those Of the
consuming and borrowing west are not
identical; that the latter section wants
money cheapened that, relatively, the
prices of natural products may be
heightened. while the formers object is
to heighten the relative value of money
It's the same old story Of the great flush
war times, when everybody had money,
regardless of the fact that the money
that they had was worth anywhere from
one third to one half of gold, which at
that time was not money in the sense of
currency.

The situation regarding reassessment
is improving; it is clearing up; it begins
to look as though somebody knows what

That there will be a plan adopted

gravely question, that is, We are under
the impression that when the taxes are
laid under the new law, to raise the
identical sum that is now being raised
it will be found that the farm. the

pay larger tax bill than is being paid

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, MARCH 2ND, 1896.
Spain also should beware of the ides
Of March. The modern astrologers were
right in declaring the star of Cuba to be
in the ascendencey. Its influence upon
the U. s. Senate produced wave Of en-
thusiastic patriotism that was even more
than that brought forth by the Monroe
doctrine message, and which resulted in
the adoption of resolution that the
belligerency Of the Cubans should be
at once recognized and asking the Pres
ident to use his influence to get Spain
to recognize the independence of Cuba.
The flaw in this resolution is that it
is concurrent, aud not joint. Although
there seems to be a doubt as to the
constitutionality Of such proceedings it
has been the custom tor many years to
regard concurrent resolutions as merely
expressions Of opinion Of Congress and
not being binding upon the President.
Therefore the President would not be
bound to pay the slightest attention to
this resolution unless so disposed should
it be adopted by the House just as it was
BY the Senate.
But that isn't the idea Of Congress.
Nine-tenths or more of the members of
both House aud Senate are determined
that Cuba shall be free and that this
country shall take hand in making it
free, by force if necessary. No man
familiar in Congressional circles can
doubt the existence of this sentiment.
1t Is therefore confidently expected that
the House, instead Of adopting the Sen
ate resolution, will this week adopt the
joint resolution reported from its CON-
mittee on Foreign Affairs, which is a
little stronger than the Senate resolution
and which contains hint to Spain that
this country will interfere by force if
its request that the independence of
Cuba be recognized is net complied with
The cable news that Spain will have
supporters among the European gov
ments will cut no figure with Congress
iu'this matter. Congress is willing to
90 to war if need be with all Europe
rather than take a backward step.

Virginia, the oldest of the colonies,

change and troubled fortune that
England had seen during the fateful
days since James Stuart became
king, and Englishmen in Virginia

able from Englishmen in England,
except that they we're provinoials
and frontiersmen. They had their
own tasks and ways Of life, indeed,
living, as they did, within the old
forests of virgin continent, upon
the confines of the world. But their
tastes and temperament, spite Of
change and seolusion, they had in
common with Englishmen at home.
They gave leave to their opinions,
too, with a like downright conf
dence and hardihood of belief, never
doubling they knew how practical
affairs should go. They had even
kept the English character as they
had received 1t against the touch Of
time and social revolution, until
Virginians seemed like elder Eng
lishmen.
England changed, but Virginia did

themselves with an ample acreage

There was but one center of social
life in Virginia-at Williamsburg,
the village capital, where the gov.
ernor had his palace. where stood
the Colonial college, where there
were taverns and the town houses
Of sundry planters Of the vicinage.
and where there was much gay com.
pauy and not q little formal oere-
monial in the season. For the rest,
the Old Dominion made shift to do
without towns. There was no great
mart to which all the trade of the
colony was drawn. Ships came and
went upon each broad river as upon
q highway, taking and discharging
freight at the private wharfs Of the
several plantations, for ever planter
was his own merchant, shipping his
tobacco to England and importing
thence in return his clothes. hts
tools, his household fittings, his
knowledge Of the London fashions
and Of the game Of politics at home.
His mechanics he found among his
own slaves and dependents. Their
"quarters" and the offices of his
simple establishment showed almost
like q village Of themselves where
they stood in irregular groups about
his own square, broad gabled house.
with its airy hall and homelike liv.
ing rooms. He might have good
plate upon his sideboard and on bis
table, palatable old wine in his GEL
lar, and on the walls about him por-
traits of the stately men and danes
from whom no took his blood and
breeding. But there was little luxury
In his life. Plain comfort and q
homely abundance sufaoed him. He
was a gentleman, owned all he saw
around him, exercised authority and
enjoyed consideration throughout
the colony, but he was no prince.
