Herbert Spencer is peculiarly sensi-
tive to discordant noises, or those which
he regards as such A sound which is
said to make Mr. Spencer forget that
he is philosopher is chandeliers well
come to the dawn. When the ROSTERS
begin to crow, Mr.. Spencer ceases to
sleep, and there are whispers that the
remarks he makes on such occasions
thoroughly disprove his utilization with
the stoics. Some years ago, during a
stay in Scotland, he was fairly mad
dened by the performance Of cock that
crowed inconceivably early. After
period of prolonged suffering it occurred
to him that if the bird were tied to its
perch it would be unable to rise for the
act of Growing. So, by fine effort of
induction, Mr.. Spencer went to the hem
house soon after midnight and with his
pocket handkerchief tied his enemy
firmly to its perch. Then he went back
to bed, and, though history does not
record whether the expedient silenced
the rooster or not, Mr.. Spencer was SO
confident that it would that he slept
calmly until long after the dreaded hour
of his usual awakening. New York

the High street of the market town Of
Dumfries. Her dress was prettily If
not over-fashionably cut, a straw hat
shaded her bright blue eyes, and her
boots and gloves were those of a lady.
Under her arm she carried several
books-school books, to all intents and
purposes.
By her side, talking to her eagerly,
was a young man about three years her
senior.
From time to time as she tripped
along with her companion she had to
stop and exchange words with passers-
by who greeted her by name; and from
many of the shop doors and windows
friendly heads nodded and bright
faces beamed. 1t was clear that she
was we'll known in the little town, and
a general favOrte. Indeed, there were
few of the residents within a radius
of ten miles round Dumfrles who did
not know something of Majorie An
nan. the foster-child and adopted
daughter of Mr.. Lorraine.
Her companion, John Sutherland,
was fair complexioned and very pale.
He was plainly clad in a suit of dark
tweed, and wore wlde-awake hat.
His whole aspect betokened delicate
health, and there was a sad light in his
blue eyes which told of a thoughtful
spirit lodging within. His manners
were gentle and retiring In the ex-
treme.
when did you come back?" Mar
jorie had asked, after some previous
conversation.
LAST night, by the express from
London" answered the young man.
I'm going down to see the old folk
tonight. Shall you be at the manse?"
Marjorie nodded, smiling gayly.
"And how did You like London?" she
demanded. "Did you see the queen?
and Westminster Abbey? and did you
go to the great tabernacle to hear
spurgeon preach?"

and most of my spare time was spent

myself, maybe it would be better, after
all, to blde at home, and stick to weav.

As he spoke, Marjorie paused at the
corner Of a quiet street, and held out
her hand.

SOCIAL SYSTEMS CONFLICT.
EUGENE V. oEes.

There are two social systems
which have been in conflict since
the human race began, and never
more intensely so than at the
present time. Under the one, the
few enjoy and the many are doom
ed to serve az beasts of burden.
The favored few, the beneficiaries
of this beautiful system, honestly
believe, for the most part, that it
is ordained of God that chosen
few shall rule and that the masses
shall toll and suffer and submit in
silence, and any attempt to change
or modify the situation they re-
gard as dangerous and wicked and
resent as an assault upon the very
life of society. 1t is scarcely re-
quired to observe that this is the
system under which we now live.
Under the other system, the earth
and the fullness thereof become
the common heritage of all the
people There are no favored class
es, no special privileges, but all
have equal right to help them
selves to natures bounties and
equal opportunity to enjoy the
good things with which the earth
abounds, This is the system that
is to be, and all the evolutionary
forces are pledged to achieve its
triumph.

The railroad kings annul the protcc-
tive features of the tariff at pleasure.
For example, when the railroads charge
more for freight on domestic goods
from Philadelphia to Chicago than the
entire freight on foreign goods from
England to Chicago, via Philadelphia,
over the same road and perhaps in the
same train from Philadelphia to Chica-
go, what chance has the Philadelphia
made goods in the Chicago marketP
The foreign goods can be sold cheaper
than the domestic goods to the extent
of the difference in freight in favor of
the foreign goods, and to that extent
the protection disappears. What we
want is uniform freight rates for SINH
lar service; and the rate should be, not
the value of the service, but the coat of
the service plus reasonable profit

JOHN wANAMAKER.

The country is not prosperous.
Since the outset of the last presi-
Dental campaign the party, press
and political leaders generally fixed
the November election of 1896 as
the date OF the beginning of good
tunes. A full half year has expir-
ed since the will of the republican
party was declared. Thus far but
one of the important issues of the
campaign is nearing settlement,
and hardly any noticeable improve
ment of the wretched times is man
ifest. The tide will soon set in
strongly against the republican
party unless the depression in bus
mess is altered. Idleness and want
breed bitter discomfort which
will never be overcome until there
are ample employments.
The foes America has to fear are
not the sullen, savage Turks, nor
the insurrectionistS of Cuba, nor
the territory -grasping British, but
they are our own patient and heart
tried people-our own suffering,
much-promised people-who, be-
trayed and disheartened, no long
er have faith in their party, and
will turn to any leaderships that
offer promise of better times, be-
lieving that worse times can never
come than those now existing.

INTERNATIONAL PREss AssoclATloN.
CHAPTER In.-fCoNr1NUED.l


The day following there was sim
pie funeral, in a solitary burial-place,
seldom used, and lying within short
distance Of the spot where the body
was found. Mr.. Lorraine betrayed the
expenses out of his own pocket, saw
that everything was decently, though
simply arranged, and himself read the
beautiful burial service over the coffin.
He had now no doubt in his mind that
the drowned woman was the mother OF
the infant left under his care, and that
by destroying herself she had simply
carried out her desperate determine
ton.
All attempts to identify her, how
ever, continued without avail. In
qulries were made on every side, ad-
vertisements inserted in the local
newspapers, without the slightest re-
suit; no one came forward to give any
information. But by this time the
minister's mind was quite made up.
He would keep the child, and, with
Gods blessing, rear her as his own;
he would justify the unhappy mothers
dependence on his charity and loving
kindness.
So 1t came to pass that late in the
cleaning of the old bachelors life the
cry Of a child was heard In the lonely
house; and somehow or other, despite
Solomon Mucklebacklt's prognostiCa-
tions, the house became brighter and
merrier for the sound. Solomon him
self soon fell under the spell, and when
a little warm with whisky he would al
lude to the child, with comic sense
of possession, as "oor BARN"
At last, one day, there was quiet
christening in the old kirk, where Mr..
Lorraine had officiated so many years,
Mysie held the infant in her arms,
while Solomon stood at hand, blinking
through his horn spectacles, and the
minister performed the simple Cere-
mony.
After long and tender deliberation
the minister had fixed upon name,
which he now gave to the poor little
castaway, who had neither father nor
mother, nor any kinsfolk in the world
after whom she could be called.
He christened her Marjorie AMMAN.
Marjorie, after that other beloved
Marjorie, who had long before joined
or so he dreamed-the bright celes-
tial band; Amman, after that troubled
water wherein the miserable mother
had plunged and died.

continent and oil their profound schol
ars.
In a recent interview, District Attor.
ney Perry, the successor of Mr. Ady,
who knows where the merit lies, made
substantially this statement.
So much for one of the things that
have been "the matter with Kansas
1t has been disposed of in the way OF
justice, and good in some form, as well
to the railroads as TO the public, must
necessarily result. The people of Kan
sas have other ailments, but neither
dishonesty nor insincerity, nor bad
Judgment, nor ignorance, is among
them. For one thing, the state was
run by political machine so long that
it got into q condition similar to that
of Chicago. When the apathetic voter
awoke to his duty he found matters in
bad shape, and when he began to make
noise about it he was warned not tC
iniure the reputation of the state, just
as class of people here profess tc
think that the reform movement is dis.
grazing the city by letting the world
know its real condition. But Kansas is
thoroughly honest, always brave, and
it never has taken leave of the John
Brown sense of justice. That is really
what is the 'matter" with it. When
ever there is a controversy there it may
be safely taken for granted that there
is reason for it and that it will be
settled right, although the time be
long. Kansas will take care of itself
and dispose of all its issues. This
Trans Missouri case is not the first, as
it may not be the last, of the Kansas
motions" and "vagaries' and "fanata.
cisms" to receive the approval of learn.
ed jurists and the concurrence of man
kind"
The above excellent article was writ.
ten for the Chicago Record by I. j..
Norton, who grew from small boy to
manhood on farm near Newton, Kan.
sas He was professor in the high
school in Newton and afterwards was
chosen editor of the daily Republican
of the same place and distinguished
himself as writer of more than ordi-
nary ability. From boyhood he was
thorough book worm and acquired an
exceptionally fine education and stored
his mind with great amount of his
tory and literature by burning mid
night oil, having attended school very
little.
He has for several years been prac-
ticing law in Chicago, and while Re
publican, he can see the great injury
that railroad discrimination has done
for Kansas.

BEN. surTERwoRrH.

The republic is in more danger
to-day than when Fort Sumter was
fred upon There are influences
that are making for ill. We have
plenty of education, but education
unless leavened with morality,
simply fits the man to be an ex-
pert scoundrel. Our country is in
danger because corruption IN our
politics is as common as luncheon
at noon. In almost every munich
pal and state legislature there is
an organized banditti that de-
mands tribute and sells legisla-
ton.
We know this to be SO. We do
not guess it. We all know it.
And it must stop crit will stop the
wheels of this republic. The in
fuences are ripe and ripening to
destroy our government unless we
turn aside from the way we have
been going and adhere to princi-
Piles rather than to party.
There are too many men who
would scorn dishonesty in private
affairs who encourage it in poll
tics. Half the world is going to
the devil because no one one will
shout out loud. The time has
come, if the republic is to be pre-
served, when we will have to re-
buke men out loud.

Fine as are the salmon Of New
Foundland, they are without honor in
their own country, as the following In
cldent from DIR. S. T. Daviss Carl
bou-Shooting in Newfoundland" will
show: Our way into the interior was
over a lovely pond. We had made an
early start, and left the foot Of the
pond just as day was breaking. We
had not proceeded far when the writer
thought he could occasionally see the
water break with a splash in close
proximity to the canoe. Seated as he
was in the bow, he turned to the native
who was handling the paddle in the
stern, and inquired whether there were
any fish in the pond.
Fish? No, sir, no fish, sir"
Presently, when about halfway up
the pond, and just as the sun was peep
ing over the eastern horlsOn, he saw,
not six feet from the bow of the canoe,
a magnificent salmon rise to the sur
face, and with swish of his tail, dis
appear. Again the writer turned to his
friend with the remark, Daddy, did
l understand you to say that there were
no fish in this pond?"
mo fish, sir; no fish,
Eyes, butt beg your pardon-I a
moment ago saw what l took to be a
twelve or fifteen-pound salmon break
the water not six feet from the bow Of
the canoe" -
"Oh, that was a salmon. There are
plenty Of trout and salmon in all these
waters, but no fish, sir Nothing counts
as fish in these parts but Goldfish, sir.
