IN DESPERATE STRAITS.
Free silver Cranks OF Kansas Trying
Hard to Find an Anti-Tarin .,
Issue.

At the free silver convention in Butl
Ter county, Kan, reports the Kansas
City Journal, the following resolution
was adopted as part of the party plat
form:
Resolved. That It IL our belief that the
present financial policy OF this government
Is responsible for the issue OF additionat
bonds, and that they only serve the pur-
pose OF party measure TO cover up the
deficiencies OF the Dlngiey tariff law In not
providing the amount OF revenue prom-
ised."
The Dingley tariff bill has yet to
show its best results. There was a
deficit of $4,000, 900 during the first
year OF its operation, but this is far.
less than the sum estimated by Mr.,
Dingley and the committee which
framed the tariff law. This would al
most have been overcome by the du-
ties collected on wool alone had not
the country been stuffed with more
than years supply of wool before tho
law became effective. 1t Is not neces-
sary to recount again the vast i'm
ports OF sugar and other commodities
that immediately preceded the change
in the tariff scale. II is sufficient TO
say that when normal conditions are
again restored the Dingley bill Will
do even more than its trainers prom
Used, for already IL has exceeded their
expectations.
But what must the country at large
think of the intelligence and decency
and fairness of body OF men who can
assemble themselves together In the
midst of war and denounce o peace
revenue measure because il does not
raise money enough TO pay the war
expenses? These extraordinary ex-
penses have been estimated at 81 ,000,-
day, and they are very nearly as
much as all the other government ex-
penses combined. More than 100000
900 already has been paid out, and 10
Will take nearly as much more before
the American establishment Is back
on a peace basis. And yet there are
men In Butler county, Kan, who have
the audacity-the imbecility-to de-
clare that the bond issue Is not needed
for the payment OF war cost, but only
to hide a deficiency in the peace rev.
enues. II shows the desperate straits
to which the opposition has been re-
duced for a campaign issue.

CHAPTER Iv.-CoNrINUEp.

A turn In the avenue at this moment
brought us In full view of the gray
walls of Bidache. and on the wide stone
staircase that led to the great hall we
saw the servants of the household as
sembled. Madame waved her hand in
greeting. and the cheer which broke
from them was drowned in the boom
Of the lombard from the keep. As the
blue wreaths OF smoke curled upward,
O little ball ran to the top OF the flag
staff on the keep, and the next moment
the banner OF Tremouille, with the arms
Of Rochemars OF Bidache quartered
thereon, spread out its folds TO the
morning, and madame was come home
once more.
We dincd an hour or so later than
usual--madame, d'Ayen. Palm and my
self at the high table, and the rest OF the
household with all Bidache at the next.
Madame, who seemed In nowise ia
igued with her long ride. was In the
rayest of spirits and rippled with talk.
As IL thinking she had punished d'Ayen
Jnough she directed all her converse
ton towards him, and the old beau
was in his element in discussing the in
trigues Of court life, and let me add
interesting, for his memory went far
back.
At last the dinner came TO q close,
and Palm, rising, opened his lips In q
long Thanksgiving, to which all, madame
included, listened devoutly. Our host
ess then retired, and we three were left
together In an absolute silence. Had IL
been any other place, would have felt
bound to call D'Ayen 20 account, and
ask him TO name proxy II he was un-
able 10 meet me by reason OF his age.
But as IL was, this was impossible. and
contented myself with n frigid re-
Jerve, In which / was joined by the
Huguenot. He looked from one to the
other OF MS with satirical smile on
his thin lips, and then rising made q
Wight bow, and left us TO ourselves. Az
we returned TO our seats from our re-
Spouse to his greeting, blurted out the
questions:
"who Is NJ. d'Ayen? Why Is he here p

"NoP" he said, inquiringly.
NO" she said, emphatically.
He made no reply. Argument, he
knew, was useless. Facts alone would
count. Therefore he hunted up a copy
OF the book of common prayer, and
when he had found IL he turned TO the
marriage service and where IL says
'love, honor and obey" he underscored
