POOLING THE PEoPLE.-one OF our
| exchanges wisely observes that the repub-
| lican organs are once more endeavorins TO
fool the people into the belief that Nc
Kinley and the republican managers, with
the new secretary of tho treasury. have
grand, overshadowing, well -matured policy
for reyolutionlzing the present currency
system and bringing order cut OF the tInan-
cial uncertainty and chaos that have pre-
vailed for many years.
Whatever the situation is, the repub-
lican party is responsible for it. During
MIR. Cleveland's second administration,
when the ca.amities OF republican legisla-
ton We're first lClj. the attic capt was made
TO saddle the rcspous billy on the demo-
cratic party, and the election of 1884
showed that the attempt had been SUCCESS
full and that Cuce more the people had
been grossly deceived Then came the
time ror holding the National republican
convention. 1t was necessary 20 deceive
the people again on the currency question,
ami it was quite deftly accomplished by
quasi promise that himeta.lsm would b.,
the policy OF the party as soon as certain
European countries would consent to unite
with tho United States and adopt it, After
Mr.. McKinley's election the pressure Was
80 strong upon MIN lAGl ne Was lQTtcQ 10
apoplnt commission to go abroad and
confer with foreign powers regarding BIZ
metaliem. This committee is in England
now but the gold bugs and other general
managers of tho admins raJioil1fiaits have
not the slightest idea of aiding the commits
son in it's task. II the facts were known,
the probability is that they are secretly
doing all In their power TO thwart the eff
forts Of the commission.
There is no real desire on the part of
the republican managers 10 have a mon
ctary commission appointed now to revise
the currency. Their allies. the gold bugs,
trusts, monopolies and subsidized iudivld-
unls generally, do not want any revision OF
the currency. The gold standard is good
enough for them. There are fortunes to be
squeezed out Of the MASSES by The aid OF
gold monometallism, and they feel uncer-
tain az 10 silver coinage and .bm.tallism.
All this talk about currency revision, COM
missions to revise the currency system of
tho country, Is so much idle talk, 1t is
done simply TO fool" the people. VIII
they be "fooled?" We trust net.

tice Of the peace he knew that I under
stand such matters. I tried to dissuade
him from his purpose, but he was de-
termined to have Marvel arrested for
assault with intent to kill. He procured
the warrant, but thus far Marvel has
kept out of the way. After several more
unsuccessful attempts to persuade Lewis
to abandon his object was obliged to
give up the task. Then the continued
absence Of young Marvel began to worry
me, and I feared that he might return
and kill Lewis. Therefore I have decid-
ed that 1t will be best to find him be-
fore any such calamity can occur, this
as much for his sake as for the safety Of
Lewis. So / have sent for you, Mr..
Barnes, taking step Of which Lewis Is

"Oh," said Mr.. Barnes, there will

fancies that Mr.. Lewis has cast upon
him. But if he really loves Miss Lewis

"ImportantY" echoed tho squire.
"Why, man, what are you getting at2
Surely you cannot think that Merci-
full heaven! Do you suppose that my
friend has been murdered?"
esquire Olney, cannot say that I
have really formed such an opinion, but
man in my profession sees such things
only too often, and therefore when he
finds a dead body under anything like
peculiar circumstances, such as these.
for example, his suspicious arc aroused
more quickly perhaps than might be
the case with other men. But if you
think your young friend, tho son, may
now have sufficiently recovered from
his shock we will go into the room
again. An examination Of tho body
may remove any doubts on this subject. "
Mr.. Barnes then started toward the
next room, and tho squire followed,
hardly daring to think Of what they
might be about to discover.
Approaching tho fact that the bust
ness before them was very serious, the
three men entered the parlor quite
gravely. AS they did so Lewis, who was
bending over the body, rose and said in
a low voice:
Gentlemen, my father has been
murdered. The squire sank into tho
nearest chair. His last hope was gone.
Lewis continued: ~ repeat he has been
murdered. There is bullet hole in his
left side, whero it is almost impossible
for him to have shot himself; therefore
suicide is out of the question.
At tho words bullet hole" Mr..
Barnes became all attention. Here was
something tangible. Here was real evil
dence. The position of the wound, too,
that was quite important, and Lewis
conclusion seemed logical enough. But
he had used the correct words when he
said "almost impossible" Mr.. Barnes
was careful man III forming opinions,
and experience had taught him that the
seemingly impossible often occurs.
Still, in tho line Of thought suggested
by Lewis words, he turned to Squire
Olney:
"Can you tell us whether your friend
was left handed?"
"Yes, am sure he was not.
"Then it is probable that he was shot
by some other party than himself.
Squire, the affair is now serious. 1t be-
comes our duty to try to find the guilty
party"
At the word "duty" tho squire recov-
cred himself instantly and was all at
tention. Mr.. Barnes continued:
"Tho coroner should be notified at
once"

SEEKING FOR CLEWS.

Left to themselves, the two detectives
remained silent until they heard the
front door shut by the squire as he and
Lewis went out. Then Mr.. Barnes said:
"Well, Tom, you are in luck-a mys-
terious murder, which will, in my judg-
ment, require much skill to discover the
truth. Come, now, tell mo where you
