asked Don, the cabin boy, opening the
door of a splendidly furnished apart

of Ralph, appeared to be one Of more
than Oriental magnifcence. .r
Yes; I will, though do not feel

nodding and laughing, yet fully aware
that he had said nothing provocative o.
hilarity.

Ralph Denham threw himself on the
luxurious couch, and as Don closed the
door there was an expression Of MINCED
pity and admiration on his face.
Captain Denham, though fully aware
that the ship was at anchor in a calm
sea, felt that he was being rocked and
swayed by gentle, invisible hands. =
Through the open port-hole that ad-
mitted light and air to mis- room, he
heard the splash Of the ripping water
against the ship, but it was transformed
into music, more soothing than was ever
blown from the shell Of triton or fell
from the seductive but treacherous lips
Of the tabled mermaid. ~ ", ~
The music and the swinging kept on
till the cabin expanded into gorgeous
arcade. down which he floated to music
of increasing rapture, while maidens Of
exquisite form, with golden tresses that
shimmered in the rosy light, beckoned
him on, and Lea Hedges led them; he

often thought, and the new life on which
he had entered was bounded by eternity.

middle. of the afternoon, and addressing
Don, who had been ordered to remain
in attendance on Captain Denham. s.

Then said Frenauld, go on deck
and tell the captain to come down.

The Public Ledger quotes Mr.. Nc
Kinley as follows: NO matter what
kind of money we have, we cannot get
it unless we have work Whether it i
poor money or whether it is good
money, whether It is gold or whether it
is silver, We cannot get one dollar of IL
unless we have employment for our
hands and heads"
How about issuing watered stock by
the ton in Wall street?
How about the .'unearned incre-
menf," as it is called, of the Aston real
estate in the city of New York?
How about the railway that takes adj
vantage of its monopoly to gouge the
public out of fares ten times as high as
other roads charge for the same sery-
ice?
How about the stock and the produee
gamblers who get corner on wheat
or something else, and sweat their vic
Tins out of untold millions?
Possibly Mr.. Mckinley considers al
these and thousand other ways Of
plundering the publie-all of which, by
the way, should rightly go to the pro-
ducers who make such values possible
as a reward for the employment Of
their heads"
But aside from Mr.. McKinley's loose
way OF talking, the Ledger printed it 10
offset Mr.. Bryan's attitude, that free
silver will help the American workman
The Ledger adds that if Mr.. Bryan were
correct, there would be no opposition
from intelligent people to substitute
ing the silver standard for the gold
standard"
See right here how hard it is for the
Public Ledger to confine itself TO the
truth Neither the democratic plat
form nor Mr.. Bryan has ever said a
word about such a substitution, and
the Ledger knows such to be the fact;
but it would faIsify to seemingly make
out a stronger case for itself than II
has.
The Ledger then says that neither
Mr.. Bryan nor his supporters have pro-
duced a title of evidence 10 prove the
truth of the quoted position, that free
silver will help the American work
