A VICTIM or TIE "NIACIIINE." -"

by CLIFFORD STANLEY.
No one in the State of Ohio had
been more ardent supporter of Mr..
Mckinley than Joseph Fitzgerald,
and every one predicted that he
would get good position, in recog-
milton of his services in the CAM
raign.
lie had been reared country boy,
but early developed love for the
mad infatuation of politics, and in
early life abandoned the farm and
sought the excitement of city life.
He soon became power in the poll
tics of his ward, and from this his
influence extended to the entire
State. BY and by his fame became
national, and a brilliant future was
pr,dicted for the rising young
geniu'.
AT this period in his life, while his
political star was in the ascendant,
he won the hand IS we'll as the heart
of pretty Mabel Carter, one of the
fairest of Ohio's daughters. She,
too, fell under the fascinating influ-
cnce of politics, and eagerly entered
into every scheme of her husband.
Sometimes he neglected his bust
ness to play at the interesting game
of politics, but his wife never chided
him, but rather lent encouragement
When they had boon married two
years a tiny baby came to bless their
union, and tho son soon found a
warm place in tho hearts of both
father and mother.
The business had been neglected
so much that it had to be abandoned
and he was forced to depend or
"poltics" for living. lie held g
position in the State Legislature, bu1
this paid him very little, and he wat
compelled to cke out q living by
writing for tho newspapers. lie was
n brilliant writer as well as an &C.
complished orator. Nature had be.
slowed rare gifts upon him, and mcr
gladly followed his leadership.
When the last national campaign
was well under way he left his homo
and went into the hottest of the fray
for tho nominee of his party. From
county to county he went, and ever"
where his eloquent voice called pco
pie around tho Republican standard
lie was congratulated by the Prcsi
dent elect upon his splendid services
and right heartily did he tako par
tho general rejoicing.
The fourth of March saw him j,

suppression of Ell Reconcentrado, saying
it was disgrace to journalism. Blanco
did not allow the PIPER to be published,
and it was suppressed until the Americans
secured control of the island.
The British, he said, were stealing a
march on Americans in the island, and
unless the capitalists of this country moved
quickly they would find that some splen-
did money making opportunities were gone
forever. The English had bought up the
railways and were gong to extend exist
ing lines through the provinces which are
still without railways. Unless stronger
effort wae made to control the Cuban trade
the British would get it.
Another thing that will handicap Ameri-
cans. in Mr.. Neely's opinion, is that in
dealing with the Americans the Cubans
find everything at variance to the methods
they have hitherto employed. The British
offer them lxty to ninety days time OIL
their purchases, display their samples of
goods, etc.

Willett of Alabama, the head of the con-
tineent of Southern democrats promoting
the presidential boom OF August Van
WICK, and who was expected to arrive In
Saratoga on Friday next, telegraphed
from Admission, Ala, that he was delayed

Mrs. Dreyfus was not In court because
OF the increased number of anonymous
threatening letters she daily receives. Her

DsMangc, one of Dreyfus' attorneys, says
that he is convinced the examination Of
the much talked about secret dossier, tbe

demned five years ago. can not require
more than two sessions. He says: "As

That 10 why they ordered secret sittings
until further notice instead OF for four

The general impression is that both Car

the anti Dreyfusites are dissatisfied. They

trick OF the government putting such n
