Just as young Mr.. Dolley was about
to bid good night to Miss Trivvet, the
gas light in the hall burning low, he
drew her to him and stole a kiss. AT
that moment Mr.. Trivvet emerged from
the library door further along the hall
and came forward.
"Oh, DEAR" said the maiden, in a
gaspy whisper, I'm afraid papa saw
you"
Her fear deepened into q certainty as
her father approached and said to Mr..
Dolley:

vine what was passing therein. Would
Mr.. Doiley be forbidden 10 come TO the

PERU HAD BETTER PAY UP

Washin gton, July 1T is under
stood that the secretary of state has
instructed the United States miniser
1T Lima TO demand the prompt Settle
nent of the claim of Victor L. Mac
Cord, an American citizen, for alleged
brutal and inhuman trea tment by the
Peruvian authorities. Mr.. MacCord's
claim is for s209, COO While Secretary
O3ney does not specify the amount that
should be paid in satisfaction OF this
claim, it is said that he contends that
1t is a just and equitable claim and one
entitled to prompt satisfaction. The
claim grows out of the arrest and i'm
prisonment OF Mr.. MacCord by the
Peruvian authorities in 1885 while he
was acting sup T1ntendent of a rail-
road at Arequipa- There was a revolu-
ton in progress at the time.
Through the alleged perfdy Of the
engineer of a train conveying troops
on the road, Of which MacCord had
charge, it was delivered into the hands
of the Revolutionists. MscCord was

| the strong reasons set forth as to why
Henry Watterson is the right man TO
stand up for a principle. Advocates Of
a gold ticket, put up by the Democrats,
who cannot stomach Populism and free
silver, to say nothing about the income
tax declaration and the assault upon the
supreme court, say the third ticket is
necessary TO effectually defeat the nom
inees and doctrines Of last weeks con-
vention.
They take the ground that unless
straight Democratic ticket is placed in
the field thousands of Democrats, who,
under no circumstances could be in
duced to vote for the Republican candi-
dates, and who rather than lose the OPP
portunity of voting, by staying at home
On election day, viii swallaw the Bryan
free silver combination.
This, it is asserted, Will be true par
ticularly in the south. The only desire
Of the honest money Democrats is TO do
that which will insure an overwhelming
defeat at the polls for the nominees and
the platform of the Democratic-Popu-
list-free silver convention.
The first concern Of the sound money
Democrats is to work ii so that McKin-
ley can carry several of the southern
states. 1t is conceded that New York,
Pennsylvania and the New England
states are safely against Bryan and
Sewall without the aid of a third ticket.
But it is urged that third icket would
help Mckinley to carry Delaware. Mary
land, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Texas, Alabama, North Carolina
and probably Virginia.
The scheme, therefore, is to nominate
a candidate for president whose popu-
larity throughout these states is such
as TO arouse the greatest enthusiasm.
command he best support, and win the
largest number of votes from the Sill
yer ticket. These are potent reasons
why Henry Watterson, for the present
a least, seems to have been singled out
as tn most available man. 1t is predict
ed that he would get more votes in
every one of the southern states than
Bryan, and so far as the Illinois leaders,
who are pushing this movement can see,
they think he would take we'll among
gold Democrats all over the country.
There is no discounting his position on
the money question, and his paper has
already bolted the action of the Chi
cego convention.
Whether Mr.. Watterson would accept
such nomination or not Is a query no

not intend to return home until after the
election.
The Chicago Chronicle, gold Demo-
cratic, editorially has suggested Mr..
Watterson as an availab bic man to head
the ticket to be nominated by the pro-
posed sound money convention.
There seems TO be no doubt that the
convention If held at all Will come TO

it would be an easy matter to raise all
