myself from dinner on the plea of bad

by the window, listening to the wind as it
sighed through the strawberries. AS | so
stood and listened, l heard the tramp of
horses feet, and a moment later the door
was flung open, and Yorke entered His
hair was wet with the rain, and his face
looked set and pale in the gloom of the
fire-lit room.
''Has anything happened?" l cried,
alarmed at his sudden appearance.
''No," he said, "but my uncle telegraph
ed that he would wait my arrival in Lon
don, so l did not see the fun of spending
my evening alone, and l took Firefy and
rode over. The truth is-Oh, my darl-
ing!' and his voice broke, and he drew
me suddenly into his arms, Il didn't half
know what it would be to say good-by to
you, and l have so many things left I'M
told.'
Come and sit down by the fire." said.
''Your coat is quite wet. oh, how could
you come out in such a terrible night?"

There had been bad blood between them

was not the eldest son, and her people
were mercenary, and forced her to accept

Those Municipal Elections.

nose Muu1CipdA A@AeCtlOHSs
The results of the recent municipal
elections in some of the Western cities
have thrown some Democratic leaders
and newspapers into paroxysms Of Ella
ton not at all warranted by the occa-
sion. Mr.. Bryan vouchsafes the opin-
ion that these results indicate pro-
found revolution in political sentiment
since the November elections, and the
Democratic press generally is indulging
in expressions of like character.
But the truth of the matter is that
while in the cities Of Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, Detroit and Chicago, the results
of the elections for municipal officers
We're Republican defeats, they are not
candidly and fairly put down as Dem
ocratic victories. In not a single case
was there any principle Of political
faith at issue, nor was there one in
stance in which party lines were regu-
larly drawn and a square fight had be-
tween the Republicans and Democrat
ic organizations. In Cincinnati, Cleve-
land and Detroit the success of the
Democratic candidates is ascribable to
local issues and the discomfort Of the
voters with the Republicans in office.
The issues, therefore, were purely To-
cal and personal, and neither general
nor political. In Chicago young Carter
Harrison was elected Mayor chiefly up
on the local prestige Of his murdered
fathers name, combined with the
handicap Of a serious fractional split in
the Republican rganization.-Rea

The Value of Credit.

Is there anything under the sun that
will fill the place of credit? l believe
not. If there is l have never met with
it. Cash is the only availa bic substitute,
and even that fails in many instances.
There are firms in New York that
will refuse to open an account for cash
with a man who has no credit: they
will have no business transactions with
any one who has not a current credit
rating in this market. Yet those same
firms will not hesitate to open an ac-
count with man whom they find rela-
lively well rated.
1 have experienced that singular
thing. a wholesale firm that refused to
sell goods for cash to merchant who
had no credit rating. Reference show
ed that he always paid cash and Meth
er sought nor received credit. The
firm in question refused to sell him,
they had no assurance of his sound
ness no other testimony of his dispo-
sition to play fair other than that he
paid as he went, so they positively re-
fused to do business with him. He ask
ed no accommodation dl luelI uluuS,
he wanted goods and would pay on
the spot, yet they positively refused to
place his name upon their books in any
capacity whatever.
This only goes to show that mo rec
ord is bad record. The man who is
not rated good is bad. Some men will
persist in judging every man rogue
until he is proven honest.
Be careful of your credit; you can
have no more precious possession than
good name, nor more valuable cap
ital than a good credit rating. The
practice Of having your check received
by your creditor the day it is due In
stead of sending it on that day is a
trifling thing, yet it will not go unno-
ticed Trif1es like this supplement
your rating in dollars and cents and
help to stiffen 1t. Make no promises
you cannot keep, and whether prompt
or slow be as good IS your wora.-Dry

our national debt was when the war
closed-that something over four bill

Enouoh of PoDulism.

Fusion is dead in Kansas. A united
Democracy and no further fusion with
the selfish and arrogant Peoples party
The supreme duty of the hour for the
Democrats in Kansas is to cut loose
from the fostering corpse of the Peo-
pies party. The ranting Populists
with full power to act, have tried their
hand at State government. Does any
sensible man want them back again?
We should profit by experience. The
Democratic party did not win in the
late Presidential campaign because it
took too heavy a load at Chicago in it's
platform. Capital is proverbially timid.
The business interests Of the country
took alarm at the revolutionary plat
form. 1t was a clear case Of ''biting
off more than they could chaw." The
result should serve as warning. The
Populist party is doomed. 1t will never
command the confidence of the people,
If the Democratic National convention
in 1900 shall repeat the blunder of 1896,
in laying down a platform to catch
Populist votes, we believe it will meet
with even a greater disaster at the
polls than it did last November.-To-

paign, looking to the japanese as
great silver people, when they had al
ready made up their minds to adopt
the gold standard.
The latest advices from that country
show that the proposition for the adop-
ton of the gold standard had been un-
der consideration for two years, and
that the officials of the nation had prac-
tically determined to adopt it during
the very time that the people Of this
country were looking upon them as the
most ardent advocates Of silver. a
hint as to their plans would have saved
much of the worry and speechmaking
in the late election in the United States.
Fewer Failures Recorded.
The record Of trade failures, as given
by Dun's Review for the quarter end
ing March 81, shows decrease both
in their number and the amount Of liza
bilities as compared with the CORE
spending period in 1896. The figures
since 1890 are of interest, as they show
the growth of bankruptcy after the adj
vent of Democracy, and it's immediate
decline again under Republican adj
ministratiOn.

The Retrospective Tariff.

The millions Of dollars worth Of for
eign goods rushed in from abroad by
importers who had no regard for the
prosperity Of the government or of the
workingmen, will prove serious hand
leap to the workings Of the Dingley
Law. The fact that enormous quanti-
ties of goods in excess Of present de-
mands have been brought IN, will, Of
course, check the importations Of the
first few months after the enactment
Of the Dingley law, and at the same
time reduce the demands upon the
home manufacturers for their goods.
People cannot, therefore, expect that
the new law will be at once effective,
either as a revenue producer or 4 re-
viver of industries, because of the enor-
nous importations already made in an
ticipation of it's enactment. But for
the retrospective clause Of the Dingley
bill, they would have been much great
er before the final enactment Of the
law

the working people Of one State in six

Pennsylvania reports one hundred thou

to-day than We're so employed prior to
the election of Mckinley. This means
one hundred thousand dollars a day in

ing of the increased wages paid to
those who were employed, or working
on short time Multiply this by the
number of States, or by their proper

MURDER AT VAL MINE.
Jue ewiS, a Round House HOstler,
Shoots a Man Named REYNOLDS

Part e. in from Valentine today re-
ported tn t Hostler Joe Lewis of the
G. II. got iuto an alteration Thursday
night on the depo. platform after the
passenger train had pu d out, with a
party named Reynolds. The trouble
WAS over d DOG, and the row resulted
in Lewis pulling his gun and fatally
shooting Reynolds who bad left his
Own gun in the office where his step
daughter is the operator.
Lewis was arrested, and had a hear
ing yesterday some time before the
local Justice. Reynolds used TO drive
d milk wagon in this city, and is more
"r l-ss known in Ell Paso.
The above is one version given. How
ever. a fireman who saw the whole
thing states that the Od man Reyno DIS
was greatly angered of late by inSinua-
tious thai he had been spOtting the
boys who frequentad the local gin mills
which stories he said WE re false. Very
lIkelV he thought Lew was mixed up
in the accusations, for as III 1att' r
came intOsthe depot platform re pul ed
a gun on him with an OpprObious re-
MARI. and pulled the tri gg~r. But as
u CHANGED there were three empty
shells in the gun and the hammer
struck the first empty she'll.
L-wis warded the gun off. But Reyn-
ol i+ showed the muZzle under Lewis
nose aga n and pulled the trigger, and
again the gun snapped. When this
was done the -hird time. Lewis had got
mis- own gun ont and shot Reynolds
through the right breast and over the
heart.
The wounded man fell to the plat
form, and an engine was sent to Maria
for a doctor. But ere the engine had
got ten miles the man was dead.
