hand to him. Then it was that William
Tucker made the one chief mistake Of
his life, and, in stammering utterances,
tried to tell her of the emotion which
possessed him. But she staid him with
a light hand upon his lips.
II am more grateful even than be-
fore, " she said slowly, "bute you offer
me gift which cannot accept. I can
not tell you how sorry I am or how
much believe in all that you have told
me. But love another man, and love
him very dearly
He was silent for few moments,
standing there with his eyes cast upon
the ground like scolded schoolboy.
But he looked up at last, with some
thing of smile breaking across the
whiteness of his face.
II might have known" he said slow.
~. II might have known, above all
things, that it is not for such a man as
am to snatch SO great prize. I might
have known that it was the best and
wisest thing for me to remain only your
friend-only your faithful dog, who
may try to be Of service to you some
times. Can you forgive me sufficiently
to let me still hold that place in your
thoughts?'
81 shall hope that you will be my
very good friend always, Mr. Tucker"
she said gently. II am to marry Lieu
tenant Lacey. I should have told you
before"
"Believe me, I am very glad, he re-
piled II am only dull dog, but ]
should be poor sort Of fellow indeed if
7 did not appreciate your kindness and
your confidence.
Thereafter the dull, stupid common
place man showed SO delicate tact and
was also so cheerfully generous to the
man who had taken the place he had
hoped to occupy that she grew to have
regard for him that was almost like
that Of a younger sister for a brother in
whom she implicitly believed and trust
ed. For his part he was proud of the
position and would not have lost it for
anything else that the world might Of
fer. To all others besides herself he was
the same dull, stupid fellow that he had
ever been.
She came to him one day weeping
and in great distress and told him that
her lover had been ordered to Africa
with his regiment. War was looming on
the horizon, and the work there would
be desperate
''I know how brave he u.s." she Sob
bed, "and I know that he will go there
with no arm save his own to stand be-
tween him and death. I think would
give the world to know that there was
some one with him who would watch
over him and bring him back to me at
last
The words were carelessly spoken
said only in the agony of the moment.
But her head was on the poor, foolish
fellows breast, her hands were touching
his, and the words spoke to him trun-
pet tongued, even as a command.
He had no thought in his simple
heart but that he might be of service to
her and might help this man whom she
loved. The next day William Tucker,
ESQ.,, left the world wherein men had
| laughed at him, and Private William
Tucker entered the regiment which had
been ordered to the front, and of which
Lieutenant Charles Lacey was one Of
the officers.

Tucker became merged as a mere unit

THE COINAGE QUESTION.

The following clipping from the ST.
Louis Republic has reference to a sign
ed article which appeared IN the Albu-
querque Citizen:
W. G. d., Rolla, Mo.-John James, whose
article you inclose from a New Mexico pa
per, is either a very shallow-pated person
or he thinks the readers Of that paper are
natural born weaklings. He says that
under the free coinage Of silver there
would be no demand fer the metal because
the government would not buy any silver
bullion. but would only coin what might
be brought to the mint and give it back to
the people who brought it. The latter as
sertion is true, of course. The first Is false.
Everybody who pretends to know any
thing about the elementary principles OF
coinage knows that free coinage OF any
precious metal makes al unlimited de-
mand for it, whilst restricted coinage on
government account makes only a limited
demand.

Schuyler Colfax will be accepted as
pretty good republican authority on
the acts of congress in 1878. He Is On
record as saying that the demonetiza-
ton of silver in that year was accom-
plished by stealth. In a letter pub
llshed over his own signature in the
Chicago Adpance of November 29th,
1877, he wrote:
1.-THE decentralization act, therefore, was
passed not at all responsive to any demand
or desire OF petition of the people, and was
so ingeniously concealed in the coinage act
hat Mother the president who signed IL
lor the president who mas to execute it, If
not repealed, knew what had been done
until long after it had gone into effect"
And as an eminent Indianian nee
remarked, ssthat's the Gods truth OF
the whole business"

The heavy rains which fell west of
ahis city, on Wednesday night, caused
a number of serious washouts on the
Rio Grande aud Santa Fe roads, which
elayed all traffic for nearly twenty
Jour hours.
The SLeadville miners strike still
continues, with no prospect of settle-
ment. The merchants of Leadville
ave organized a committee to make
forts to bring the strike, which to an
| outsider seems uncalled for, to an end.
1t does look queer that 10 these hard
ines, wher 80 many thousands of men
md women are out of work, that meD
'eceiving $3.50 and So per day should
strike for higher pay. The trouble at
4eadville seems to have been caused
" the wage scale which ruled there.
The men in the wet mines received So
per day, while men in the dry mines
got only $500 for the same work. The
workers in the dry mines demanded
he same pay that workers ia the wet
mines received. This was refused, and
she strike resulted. It is claimed that
the loss 70 Leadville, since the strike
began, is about $1,000, COO. Whether
he merchants will be successful iD
heir endeavors to bring the strike TO a
lose, remains to be seen. The miners
seem determined to hold out and, on
he other hand, the mine-owners de-
clare, with probably one exception,
hat they can not afford to pay the adj
ditional wages demanded. One mine
aas resumed work, paying the old
wages.
The Bryan and Teller club, of this

ELKINS ON v

Not longer ago than June 10Th, 1894,
before the West Virginia republican
club at Paramount, Senator Stephen b.
EIklns said of the white metal:
Silver is the money of the constitution
as much as gold; the people will have sill
YER for money and fight for 1T, and the
contest will not end until it has its proper
place in the money system Of the country.
The people are too Intelligent to permit
values to be measured by gold alone, the
production Of which 10 relatively dimin-
.shing in the world. This would make
money dearer and property cheaper. Sill
YER should be used as well as gold and the
parity between both maintained. The time
will come when the silver in the treasury
will perform the functions as we'll as
money as Of gold, and the trouble Will be
that there is not too much of it, But too
little,

its friendliness to silver. 1t now taxes oc-

For twenty six years, the Citizen has noat'

will continue to be found fighting In It's
ranks. Not alone has II adhered consist

question, be 1t county, Territorial or

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.


 ST. LOUIS, Oct 3.-This conserva- tive town is fairly boiling over with Democratic enthusiasm today Scores of banners hung across the streets proclaim it to the world. It was fhe opening day of the quadriennial con- vention of the National association of Democratic clubs. Delegates began to arrive yesterday and have been com ing in on every road since that time. All morning they gathered in the lob bies of the hotels where curbstone ora tors shouted with enthusiasm. There were hands of every sort playing pa triotic airs. At d0:30 delegates and visitors began to assemble in the Au- ditorium where the convention was held. An hour later President c. F. Black called the meeting to order. At least 2,500 delegates were present and the vast hall was filled with visitors. When blessing had been invoked, the Jefferson Glee club of several hundred voices sang the National an- them, America" in which the audi ence joined. When the applause died away President Black delivered his Quadriennial address.
