POLITICAL INTOLERANCE.

DR.. Lyman Abbot argues earnestly in
religious tolerance in America; the de-
cadence Of bombardments of each other
by sectarians; the unifcation of Chris
tian work that is going on, etc. All
this is very true and the thinking
world is very glad of it.
But If society is making gains in that
direction it is losing in another, namely,
in political federation. For political in
tolerance is growing, unhappily. Par
tisan faith is still strong, and independ-
ence-from party has made distinct gains.
But there has grown up and is augment
ing a spirit of bitterness and personal
hatred by a class of political believers
towards all who refuse to accept their
shibboleth.
We do not have this manifestation
much among old party people, but find
it among the score of recent political
reform movements. With the adherents
of these very often vituperation, assault
upon motive, bitterness of thought and
expression, real and unconcealed en-
nifty towards opponents, rather than
honest and respectful difference OF opin-
ion. is the rule.
This sintolerant spirit goes so far as to
denounce as dishonest, lying and deceit
ful every man who adhering to one of
the old parties. makes so bold as to sug-
gest that any reform whatever can be
worked through the old agencies. .Po-
Etical intolerance always stands upon
the threshold of physical assault. The
growth of this bitterness of spirit may
therefore reasonably be looked upon
with no small degree of concern.

Impress upon values. Yet silver has
steadily declined and continues to fall.
To US It seems that the reason is the
lessened demand for, and the large
production of silver. AS We now re-
call the events of that time, the pro-
duction of much gold in Africa had the
effect of sending silver prices down

law will operate in the same way if the
store of gold is greatly augmented by
the mining promised on the aff1uents

people. If the law that governs the
demand and the supply of anything

the volume of the precious metals, then
the commercial and financial world has
been laboring under a stupendous er-
ror 10 these many ages. While it is
true that a large accession to the store

also that a smile, as of recognition and
pleasure. had lighted his features.
''SenOr Sands. you cannot have for
gotten your guest of the little ward
robe!' he exclaimed: and the next
moment, sDringing through the door
way, he flung both arms about the
purser in truly fraternal embrace.
Then turning to his officers, he ex-
claimed: ''Senores, there stands the
man to whom L owe my life aud every
one of us owes his present positiOn"'
1t appears that it was then the Gus
tom of President DiaZ to have intelli G.
ence brought to him of the arrival of
foreigners in the City of Mexico: and
in this case he was not slow to recOg-
nize in list of such names that of his
American friend-in-need.
1t is little to say that Sands no longer
felt himself q stranger in Mexico.
From that moment he was the presi-
dents guest.
Something more than hospitality was
included with General Diaz's gratitude:
for the Mexican patriot ruler, like
General Grant, is man who never
forgets his friends. Before the purser
returned to Vera Cruz. General Diaz
had prevailed upon him to accept the
position of consul-eeneral under his
government, to one of the most import
ant capitals of Europe.
There and in that capacity, he served
the Mexican republic for many years.
While 1 write he fills the same Office
in the city OF San Francisco: and his
real name can be learned by any read
err who will examine the consular
register.

believe it was uttered by his brother
mason, Diaz.
Instantly alive then to the peril
from the deck sentries, he leaned far
over and putting his hands to his
mouth called, as low as he could call
and be heard don't speak again. I'll
get a line down to you"
He dared not throw line from the
deck: but he FASTENED below, and going
forward between decks, succeeded with
some difficulty in opening a freight
TOrt near the bow, and from there
throwing line to the now nearly ex-
hausted swimmer, who chung to the
cable.
Some little noise which he had uu-
avOida bly, Occasioned in opening the
port caused two of the sentries and
one ofthe crew to approach Sands just s S
he was assisting his dripping protege
lean soldiers caught but one glimpse
of General Diaz's face all would have
been lost.
With great presence of mind, the
purser instantly caught the general
head under his left arm, thus turning
his face downward, and then began
pommeling his head with his free fist,
shouting: you Internal lunatic. So
you want to drown yourself do you?
y
I'll thump some sense into you.''
He dragged him away. still batter
ing him with his right fist; and to the
astonished sentries who stood staring
at this strange scrimmage, he said in
Spanish, as he hustled the general past
them:
sit is crazy man-one of the stok-
ers that was taken insane on the
voyage down. He has tried twice to
drown himself--aud l hone to heaven
he will finish the job next time he gets
lOOse.'
He hammered the generals bead
again, and still berating him, drew him
in the direction of the tiremeu's berth=,
thus getting him out of sight of the
soldiers.
Hurriedly then the two conferred as
to what course should next be adopted:
for the purser dared not leave Diaz
among the crew. At that time most
of them were asleep, but by morning
the presence of the di5tingu shed
stranger would attract atten ton, 1t
was agreed therefore that the purser
should keep watch, and that Diaz
should leave the bunk as soon as every
thing had grown quiet again, come
quietly on deck and enter his former
hidipg-place in the wardrobe OF the
purser's stateroom, Toward morning
he WIS able to accomplish this. One
can imagine the adjustment and
chagrin OF the Mexican officers and
soldiers detailed to search and watch on

and all were DESTROYS of enriching
themselves by discovering the re-
fugee.
10 divert suspicion the purser talked
frequently with the Mexican officers
about the matter. asking many ques-
tions, and usually suggesting that the
might himself be glad to find the
fugitive and get the money. He thus
learned that several of the officers still
suspected that Diaz was on board
the steamer, hidden away.
To humOr their conceit, the purser
would at times app zach one or anoth-
er of them and say privately that he
had but that moment thought of some
nook of the hold, or some Granny
it was possible for a fugitive to conce Il
himself. The two would then 90 unie.-
| to overhaul this supposed hiding
place
In this way the purser succeeded in
making them believe that no one was
more eager to discover the exile than
himself: indeed, the captain and first
officer of the steamer openly rebuked
him for his apparent partisanship, re-
marking that he had better let the
MeXicans do their own dirty work. To
this rebuse he replied that chance to
gain fifty thousand dollars did not come
to him every day.
His motive for all this elaborate
acting arose from the danger of the
situation. Sharp eyes were watching
the movements of every member of the
crew, and particularly of the officers.
He dared not be seen to take so much
as morsel of food to his stateroom.
lest suspicion should be excited and tn .
ward Obe there should be searched.
nor did he dare trust the stewards. At
table he could occasionally slip a bis
cult or other bit Of food into b is pocket
1t was on these chance bits that Geuer-
al ID az subsisted for nearly week.
At night, after the soldiers were
asleep and had ceased to walk and
lounge about the deck, the purser lock-
ed his 7taterOom door, drew the cur
tain and blind of the window, fastened
the window securely on the inside, un-
locked the WARDROBE and made uo a
bunk on his lounge Here for three
hours each night he allowed his guess
to sleep, while he w4tched and listened
for the slightest sign of spy outside.
These intervals of rest were absolute
ly necessary even for the strongest
man, pent uD in standing position all
DAY long, in so narrow and so confined
a space as the little wardrobe Indeed,
the physical endurance displayed by
Daz was amazing.

board that night,
The ship was in pert at Tampico for
four or five days, and was then charter
ed by the Mexican government to trans
port regiment of troops to Vera Cruz.
During this time and for three days at
sea before Vera Cruz was reached, tt g
purser harbored his guest in the little
wardrobe,
Some idea of the extreme peril OF
the situation will be gained when we
reflect that the vessel was crowded
with soldiers anj officers. all of whom
had heard the rumor of Diaz's return.
The bounty money set on his head was

Purser Sands was about to turn away
from the night scene of Tampico bay
and return to MS stateroOm. Its all
over with DiaZ before this time" he
muttered to himself "There is moth
ing more l can do. Poor fellow. poor
fellow.' and these last words he utter
ed aloud with something like a groau;
for the brave spirit displayed by the
man whose life had been entrusted to
his care had quite won his heart.
Scarcely had be uttered these words
when, to his astonishment he thought
he heard his own name, "SenOr
Sands" called from the water directly
under the side of the vessel.
He glanced down, but the obscurity
was too great to see anything there.
Then he listened attentive.
SIT was nothing" he by thought. 81
could have been nothing" Then,
again, more distinctly heard the words,
''Senor Sands, for the love of heaven,
help me on board again.
During that long, terrible hour in
the water the exiled patriot had en-
breasting the rough waves of the hsr-
Dor. and unmolested by the sharks,
he had approached the line of quays
only to find them literally lined with
sentinels. Far around the port of boz h
sides soldiers were posted scarce TWEEN
ty PAGES apart. TO land and pass
them was so clearly impossible, that
the intrepid fugitive, after swimming
fully mile along the waterfront, had
to return to the steamship, guided by
her lights.
He had reached the anchor cable,
where he was supporting himself, now
terribly fetigued, when, looking to-
ward the ship aud against the sky, he
saw the head and shoulders of man
leaning on the rail. He hardly dared
hope it could be the purser, thinking it
far more likely to be one of the NJ "
lean sentries. 1t was then, when near
ly despairing of succor that the tones of
the purser's voice fell on his ear. But

spoken the second time could he quite !
