was the dry response.
And still the countess looked around
her anxiously.
Suddenly Felicie, half dead with fear,
seized her arm. She turned hastily,
and behold! some distance down the
path was the same figure retrac-
ing his steps; it seemed like some spec
tire Waterman on his rounds.
Even the stout heart of the countess
was appalled,. But another involun-
tary exclamation from Felicie gave her
renewed courage.
Behold! from the opposite direction
came another figure, dark cloaked,
spade equipped, likewise attended by
the floating circle of light.

ghosts, possibly three, and at this early
hour? Now am certain that this has
deeper significance than ever"

The words died off from her lips as
strange voice suddenly exclaimed:
Trust yourselves with me-there is
not moment to lose."
From whence did it come, the ground
or the skies? Poor Felcie was beyond
shrieking; her heart stood still, and
she felt cold chill creeping over heI
whole frame
But the countess, struggling for
calmness, though her voice shook, an
swered:
who are you-and where?"
"a friend; one whom you need never
fear to trust. Comet"
AS if by magic, the great tree trunk
against which the countess leaned
yawned, and there stood the dark fig

safe"
Still, though the other apparitions
were rapidly nearing, the countess hes

He reached forward, and whispered

Come, Felicie!" exclaimed the lady
and the daughter was strangely thrilled
by the blended relief and sadness of her
voice.
They stepped, both of them, into
what seemed a circular closet, and the
weird, brownie doorway closed after
them.
Their unseen companion pointed out
several holes in the gnarled trunk

The Principles of Jesus.

The principles of Jesus plainly are
that God is an Infinite Spirit; that He
is infinitely good; that the best quail
ties of humanity are but hints of His
excellence; that all souls are His chill
dren; that evil is our most dreadful
foe; that God desires our rescue from it.:
and that Christ is the expression Of
that desire, and his holy and I'M
changing love,-T. s. King.

to exc-t the disabilities of those most in
capable of approaching the ludicrous-
'No Populist wantedl" A pretty bold
declaration coupled with the admission
that the Populists had rendered the Dem
ocracy very valuable service in the pest.
1t is the same old man on key and cat story
re-enacted. with Democracy trying to get
the roasted chestnuts by using the paw of
Populism to pull them out of the fire.
"No Populist Wantedl" A different
idea prevailed last year when demoralized
and dis0 edited Democracy met in conven-
ton at Chisago, where it not only aban-
doned every position the party had there
tofore held, but robbed the Populists Of
their platform and principles, and nomi-
mated q Populist for President. But they
say Mr.. Bryan was not Populist. May
be not. 1t has, however, been the gener.
ally accepted belief that mans POLITICAL
convictions and affiliations were the key
so his party relations. If there has been
no change In the idea that has heretofore
prevailed then Mr.. Bryan was and is a
Populist. In 1892 he voted. for Weaver
the Populist candidate for President, upon
whose head Southern Democracy was
heapiDg its hatred and vituperation. He
has never since failed to vote for Populist
when opportunity presented, and to day is
the living exponent and champion of Pop
ulistic doctrines.
"No Populist Wanted!' Why does the
Virginia Democracy 80 proclaim. 1t
thinks it has sufficiently appropriated Pop
ulist principles to ride into power upon
them, and it does not wish to allow the
Populiss leaders any share in the roasted
chestnus' but will try to use them again
as chestnut pullers.

Ohio is the home of cheap money heresy.
There greenbackism had its strongest hold.
And the voters of Commonwealth have
never outgrown their fondness for vision
any financial schemes.
The campaign will be one in which clubs
and brickbats will play no unimportant
pat. AS rule the Republicans have won
when the fighting was in the open and
when the party was not in an apethetic
condition. There will be no apathy this
year, for Mark Hanna is not asleep, and
as there is Senatorship at stake the con-
test will be doubly interesting. The Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, Horace l..
Chapman, is specimen of what is called
the business man in politics, and popular.
In appearance he resembles ex-Pfesident
Harrison and like him can make an ex-
cellent speech. Except as a stepping
stone, however, to something better the
governorship of the State is Of
little consequence except as a
distinction, for it carries few appointments
and is hedged in by multiplicity of re-
strictions.
If the silver Democrats think they. are
going to have an easy victory they are
much mistaken, for it is the intention Of
the gold Democrats to nominate a ticket
of their own, leaving divided Democrat &c
vote, while that of the Republicans will be
united. Gold standard Democrats will be
nominated for the Legislature wherever
there is possibility of defeating
the silver Democratic candidates. Not
that the gold men expect themselves to
triumph. They are fighting for principal
and not for spoils, and they will be content
if they keep in the background those can
didates who stand on platform of repud-
iatien and riot which in essence is what
the Chicago declaration amounts 10. The
pace will be hot and more attention will be
paid to the Legislative candidates than td
the candidates for the Governorship.

TIE Petersburg Index-Appeal says;
"The Democrats of Ohio are foredoomed
to defeat in the election, and deservedly

have adopted" The foolish platform
adopted by the Democrats of Ohio is not
SO foolish as the one which will be adopted
by the Democrats of Virginia at their
convention, and, yet, the Index
Appeal announces its intention of sup
porting the Democratic ticket on a plat.
formit will despise as foolish and dishonest.

GEN. GORDON TALKS.
Will Devote His Life to Making North and
South Love One Another.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 3.-General John
B. Gordon, after his lecture at Chatauqua
this afternoon, was interviewed by the
American Press, and said:
"Under no consideration will l be a can
didate for governor of Georgia or any other
office again. My political career is at an
end. The balance of my days will be de-
voted to teaching the people of the North
and the South to love one another"
A noble utterance expressing a noble
purpose. We have always admired Gen.
Gordon, regarding him as one of the best
men who fought for the Confederate cause.
Bearing on his person the marks left by
many wounds received in battle, the pa
triotic declarations which now fall from
his lips are given peculi,r emphasis. 1t is
terrible rebuke to the men Of bitter
hearts in both sections who still desire, for
political ends,t to keep alive the fires of sec
iional strife.

majority.

Mr.. J. TAYLOR ELLysoN says ne is not
discouraged by Maj. Tyler's big lead in
delegates so far elected to the State con-
vention. Mr.. Ellyson says: "He has not
carried a county that I did hot concede 10
him from the start The counties that l
count on to carly will now begin to elect. :"
Sure enough Rockingham, Greensville and
James City counties, at meetings held on
Saturday, sent solid delegations for the
Richmond candidate. Notway also sent q
nearly solid delegation for Ellyson. 1t
would be night funny if Ellyson should de-
feat Tyler for the nomination after all the
blowing by Tyler's friends.

THERE is one provision in the new tariff
bill that very few sensible people will kick
against. On the night of the LIST inst. the
caucus of Republican Senators reached a
decision to double the rate on cigarettes
proposed by the finance committee, of 50
per thousand on those weighing less than
three pounds per thousand, and increasing
the rate for those oflarger size. Very few
persons would complain. ifthe abomlnable
things were taxed out of existence.

$40 PoPULIsT WANTED"

I Under the above heading the Roanoke
Evening World, of the Goth, ult., after
stating that the Democratic politicians
have been discussing the plan of naming a
Populist for lieutenant governor on the
Democratic ticket, admits that the Popu-
lists had rendered the Democracy great
service last fall, but states that the time
has not arrived to give the Populists "a
place on our state ticket" 1t proceeds
further and says:
'.The Democratic party is not Populist
party and we should do nothing to make
people think it is. Let the Democrats
nominate true blue Chicago platform Dem
ocrats on their ticket and We will sweep
Old Virginia ike a cyclone without the
consent of any other party or nation.
Democrats want Democratic ticket"
This absurd and transparently deceptive
policy of the Democratic party is enough

Col. w. C. Elan. the brilliant editor of
the Norfolk Pilot, has been writing and
giving to the public in that paper some
very able editorials in favor of protection.
His arguments in favor of the principle
are so sound and unnswerable that no
free trade Democratic or Populistic editor
undertakes to refute them.

THE Silver Democrats of Ohiohav NOM
mated as their candidate for governor, MIR.
Horace l.. Chapman. He is an owner Of
Il coal mine, president OF national bank
and is represented to be worth half a mil
lion dollars. This is about as consistent
as the Silver Democrats and Populists
generally are. They always despise money
except when it is on their side.

FOR THE SENATE.

At the election this Fall the counties Of
Tazewell, Russell and Buchanan will have
TO elect State senator. We have heard
q number of the Republicans of our county
discussing the matter, and the unanimous
opinion, as we have heard it expressed, is
that the best man to make the lace is Mr..
]. N. Hartman. The most important ques-
ton that will come before the people and
that should engage the attention of the
next General Assembly is fair elections in
our State. Mr.. Hartman is strong advo-
cate of fair elections and has the ability to
present his views in such manner as to
render efficient service to the people as
their representative. If he should consent
to let his name be used land the men ola
parties who desire honest elections should
make him their candidate, he would carry
the Senatorial district by an overwhelming
majority.

What call itself the Democratic party
In Ohio held State convention at Column

Chicago platform, special Endorsement being
given to the free silver planks. This shows
determination to keep to the front the
conditions that prevailed in November
and to contest the campaign on the money
issue regardless of State questions that
may be pressing for consideration. 1t is
not surprising that the convention
was a roaring and rampant demonstration
for Organism and all that it represents.

Respectfully submitted

the people, Respectfully submitted,
c. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
Devine moved that the message be
approved.
l.. T. Hatfield said this message left
the matter in a peculiar position. The
statement of a mbination was utterly
without foundation. The bids were
made the second time on the lighting
and the company had serious discussion
as to whether it would bid the second
time. If the Mayor had such a charge
to make, he should have made it to the
proper authorities and had an investl-
cation of the alleged combination as
criminal matter.
The message is a step in the d1rec-
ton of destroying the plant which mas
cost so much and which has done so
much good for the city in many ways.
He denied the charge that private
lighting was done cheaper than the
city's. The two systems were not
comparable, as it was more costly 10
do the city lighting than for private
firms, as the conditions are very dl1er-
ent. He did not think the Mayor had
given the company a fair show or had
made statements that he could sub
stantiate.
Mckay moved that the contract pe
passed over the Mayors veto.
Devine thought the fact that the Cap
ital Gas Company did not bid the sec
end time and was reported to have
gone in with the South Yuba Company
gave foundation to the Mayors ideas.
He was satisfied that the people would
vote for a municipal lighting plant
and that the city would save money by
it.
Davis thought the contract should
| be adhered to. He repudiated the
idea of any members being in collu-
sion in regard to the lighting. The
South Yuba Company wishes the city
to put up its lines and then to sell II
its power.
Leonard thought the lights could be
furnished cheaper and said he should
vote to sustain the Veto
Bentley was convinced that the city
could do it's own lighting cheaper than
present prices, but it will take nearly
a year, even if the proposition is car
ried by the people, to put in plant
/ Nevertheless, he believed there should
| lee contract for lighting, In order tha'
no legal obstacles may be thrown IL
the way of the company's collecting its
money after it furnishes the city with
! Eght. He favored municipal lighting
! but thought a contract should be en-
tered into until it could be made avail
able.
! Devine thought the old contract pro-
/ vided it should be in force until new
| Cne was made and called for the read
| ing of it, but when it was read, he
| proved to be mistaken.
Kent showed that, even if the plant
were voted for, ii would take nearly q
year to get it in operation.
| The contract was then adopted over
/ the Mayors veto, Devine and Leonard
voting no, and the bond of the company
! being accepted.

RELATIVE TO STREET LIGHTS.
Mayor Hubbard Declines to Approve the
Contract.
But 1t Was Adopted Over His Veto
by the Trustees Last
Night.

To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
i herewith return to you the proposeu
contract of the City of Sacramento
with the Sacramento Gas and Electric
Railway Company, without my ap-
proval, for the following reasons, VIZ:
FirSt-There was no compeIluon.
AS l understand, an agreement hau
been reached between the two local
electric companies by which only one
should bid on the street lighting, anu
hence the city was deprived of the pen
eft of competitive bids.
Second-The said proposed contract
is illegal. Section % of the charter
provides that no contract shall be made
for fuel, gas, electric lights, or any
other Illuminating material, at higher
rate than is charged to any other con-
sumner. This company is furnishing
to consumers electric lights at a much
less rate than it offers to furnish 10
the city. It no doubt will be seriously
and strenuously contended by the COM
pany that there is a vast difference
between commercial and street light
ing, that the cost to the company OF
street lighting is considerably more
than the cost of what is termed com
mercial lighting" but in my judgment
such is not the case.
Conceding, however, for the purposes
of argument, that the contention of
the company in this respect is correct,
still that is a matter with which the
city has nothing to do. Section - OF
the charter. above referred to, is plain,
and its terms are mandatory, ana IN
effect it says to any person, firm or cor
poration, desiring to furnish the CITY
of Sacramento with fuel, gas. electric
lights, or any other Illuminating ma
terial, "You shall not charge the City
of Sacramento more than you do other
consumers" I have ascertained that
the rate per light to private consumers
for all-night lights is about SS oO'
Consequently SO %, the amount men
toned in the contract, is not only eX-
cessive and exorbitant but it is a
higher rate than the law allows the
company to charge.
Third-As [ stated to you in a form
er message on this subject, many in
stances could be cited where the prices
of electric lights, produced by steam
power were considerably lower than
the price sought in said proposed con-
tract to be charged by said company,
whose electricity is generated by water
power; and as the electricity produced
by water power is much cheaper than
that generated by steam power, the
greed of the company aforementioned
becomes all the more prominent.
l therefore recommend that your
beard do not enter into said proposed
contract with said company, and that
10 further bids be advertised for; that
you endeavOr, as soon as possible, to
ascertain the cost Of an electrical plant
for the purpose of lighting the streets
Of the city. and that. after you shall
have done SO, you call a special cleo
ton for submission of the question TO
