PART II.

1t was on the Fourth of July. The
mills were shut down and the day had
been celebrated with drunkenness and
riot to an extent unusual even at Arc
tic Falls. Already there had been sew
eral fights.
That evening q dance was held. In
the woods, close by the big. ram
shackle boarding house Of the princi-
pal mill, floor had been laid. and a
multitude of lanterns. both white and
red, were hung upon the waving
branches over and around It. The
venders of ice cream, candy and drinks
were doing great business. The men
were all flushed with whisky, and
many of the women had not altogether
confined themselves to lemonade,
though two large washtubs full of this
rather poisonous beverage stoSd ready
for their use. The dance was uproar-
ious. The men threw in jigs and dou-
BILE shuffies vat almost beat holes in
the planks of the floor, and now and
then gave yells like Comanches. They
were having a glorious time. More
and more the music raved in tuneless
discords, and strove to make up in
violence what it lacked in melody;
while the hoarse, drunken voice OF the
leader bawled out impossible combina-
tions for the dance. Who cared? The
wilder the discord the greater the fun.
Sally was there, of course. Indeed,
her father-who was running the
nearby boarding house--was director
of the dance And the rivals were
there, both feeling particularly ugly

Is our democratic form Of popular
government finally to be found want

people Incompetent to profit or learn
by past experience, and shall a popu

our nation down in ruin through ma

by the great English historian. Macau-
ley, forty years ago. about to be full
filed? His words were:
"The day will come In the United
States when the multitude. distressed
by hard times, will be called upon to
choose legislature. On one side is
statesman, preaching patience, respect
for vested rights, strict observance of
public faith.
'On the other are demagOgues rant
ing about the tyranny of capitalists
and usurers. l seriously apprehend
that the people of the United States
will in some such season of adversely
do things which will prevent prosper
ity from returning; that they will act
like people who should In year of
scarcity devour all the seed corn, and
thus make the next year. year, not
of scarcity, but of absolute famine.
There viii be. FEAR, SPOIIATION;
THE SPOLIATION WILL IN
CREASE THE DISTRESS. THE
DISTRESS WILL PRODUCE FRESH
SPOLIATION.

on this downward progress THERE is
NOTHING TO STOP 1T. EITHER
