A Fortunate Escape
A BURLINGTON YOUNG LADY TELLS THE
STORY OF HER RESCUE.

A reporter called upon Miss Lillian War.
ner at her home, AIS st. Paul Street, Burling-
ton, w., and begged the favor of an interview.
The young lady is musician and
pianist Of considerable renown, and has her
time fully occupied by engagements to play
At concerts and other entertainments that
are constantly taking place in the city, and
the strain upon the strength and nervous
energy of the pianist can be easily imagined.
II never could have stood it once, but
have something now," said Miss Warner
enthusiastically, "that braces me for nv
work. Some little time ago I was utterly
unable TO attend to my duties, owing to a
disarrangement of the nervous system that
effected my eyes with all the rest. They be.
came so weak and troubled me so that fin.
ally went away into the country to rest.
The benefit obtained from the change of
scene and freedom from care was, however,
merely temporary, and upon my return to

But did you consult doctor ?"

care of several doctors, and even tried many
remedies recommended for cases like mine,
but the medicines had no lasting effect, and

to be my portion.

THE TRAIN AMONG THE HILLS.

Vast, unrevealed, in silence and the night
Brooding, the ancient hills commune
with sleep.
Inviolate the solemn valleys keep
Their contemplation. Soon from height
to height
Steals a red finger of mysterious light.
And lion footed through the forests
creep
Strange mutterings; till suddenly, with
sweep
And shattered thunders of resistless fight
And crash of routed echoes, roars to
view,
Down the long mountain gorge the
Night Express
F'rcighted with fears and tears and
happiness.
The dread form passes; silence falls
anew.
And 10! I have beheld the thronged
blind world
To goals unseen from Gods hand on
ward hurled.
-Chas. q. d. Roberts.

BROTHERLY LOVE-

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: 1 have listened to several lee
turers lately, the theme and burden OF
whose song was brotherly love.
I have passed on the way home groups
composed from the late audience dis
cussing the beautiful Christ like SER
mon to which they had just listened.
Each and all of them praised the beau
ty and grandeur of the lecture, the de-
voutness and piety Of the speaker, or,
most frequently, the earpestness and
feeling with which he expressed so ex-
actly their own sentiments.
Perhaps, however, while their minds
were so engrossed with the subhmity of
the sermon to which they had just list
ened their very souls are in the heavens.

TONI0HT's AMUSEMENT:
ANOTHER CONSPIRACY

The national monetary convention,
which is now in session in Indianapolis,
is composed of gold standard men of ali
parties, but as between the Republican
party and the real Democratic party,
not one of them would hesitate to openly
line up with the first named. In look
ing over the list Of delegates one fails
to find the name of farmer, mechanic
or a small merchant. But none other
than men prominent in banking, manu-
featuring and railway enterprises are
invited to become members of the organ
ization, which is to be made permanent
to influence national legislation upon
'business lines" Hence the absence of
the hewers of wood and the drawers of
water of the country-the real wealth.
makers is not at all surprising.
There is no occasion for such an or
ranization, and yet it is likely to do a
great deal of good, though not in the di-
rection it is aiming. The good that will
come of it, if good comes at all, will come
of it's declarations so alarming the peo-
pie that they will exercise greater vigi-
lance and take a more active personal
interest in defending their liberties If
the purpose of the organization shall
arouse the people to realizing sense of
the danger to their rights that would lie
in the application of the theories of the
orga MIA tion in the conduct of the af-
fairs of the government, good will come
to them out of it all, for to be forewarned
Is to be forearmed.
AS is well known the banking inter-
ests and the various kinds of trusts and
monopolies gave Major Mckinley very
substantial support. They elected him
president, indeed. But now they are
divided, not upon any question of pur-
pose, but upon the question of which of
the two great factors that made McKin-
ley's election certa in-the money and
the industrial bines-shall be first
served by the incoming administration.
The industrial combine insists that the
money barons shall wait until it is Sc
curely intrenched behind high protec-
ton law. Senator Thurston, who sus-
tairs confidential relations with Major
Mckinley, and no doubt speaks by his
authority, threw a little cold water upon
the monetary convention by saying: Il
feel that all proposed financial legsla-
tion can and ought to be postponed until
this country has chance to test the
effect of the new protective tariff We
are not, therefore, much interested about
any money ISSUE"
The members of the monetary convep-
tion are of the opinion that if the tariff
is given precedence by the incoming ad-
nrinistration, saltpeter would not save
the country from a perfect cyclone of
commercial and financial disasters
Thus it will be seen, an irrepressible
conflict appears to have been born of tho
strife between these two representatives.
of the trusts and monopolies for sllprem-
acy. But the people should not make
the mistake of relying upon any dis
agreements between the industrial and
The herald., 1897-01-14

ethe money combines to protect them In
their rights and liberties, for sooner or
later they will compromise their differ
ences and unite their forces Nothing
could be surer than that, for as to the
disfranchisement of the people they are
in perfect accord.
AS pointed out by The Herald few
days ago, the scheme of the industrial
trusts and monopolies is to take the
tariff questions out of politics and put it
in the hands of commission, thus de-
priving the people of the right TO express
their opinion upon that question at the
polls. which would be the equivalent of
question is concerned. The plan of the
national monetary convention is to take
the money question: out of politics and
give it into the hands of commission,
with full power to provide for such ma
tional legislation as shall be necessary
to carry out the plans of the money COM
pine, Wn1Cn WOulO De tfle eQulNaleHt Ol
disfranchising the people. so far as ex-
pressing their views upon that question
is concerned.
These two factors or combines in the
country's political existence are in ac-
cord as to the advantages that would
accrue to them from taking the tariff
question and the money question out of
the hands of the people and placing
them both in the hands of commissions
selected by the combines. They disagree
as to which shall have precedence. but
there is no difference of opinion as to
depriving the people of the right to say
what the financial and economic policy
of the government shall be; and as those
two questions are the life and the soul
of the rights accrung from individual
sovereignty, the people will be quick to
understand, it is to be hoped, what it
would mean to them to have commits
sion act in their stead upon the tariff
question and another commission to
provide monetary system for them.
