"Bpt you are hurt. Can I do any
thing for you2 Let me have Httls
look. We can talk afterward."
The injury was soon located, and aft.
er predicting that a few days would
set the matter right, Capt. Scott said;
"What on earth. brought you here7
Have you been home lately? Did you
see my boy?"
The mate had done considerable
thinking during the past few minutes.
After the first surprise was over he had
rapidly determined upon his course.
and he now shook his head, replying:
"Pm afraid I can't give you much
good news from home, cap'n."
His eyes fell as he spoke, but the
other was too eager to notice.
"What do you mean, Rider?"
The voice was hoarse now with sup
pressed eagerness. my boyi Tell mel
Is he-why don't you speak7 My
brother, too! D. it, man speak out
Has anything happened to them? They
might both be dead by the way you
actl"
"They are" murmured Rider, still
with his eyes cast down.
Without a word the captain turned
on his heel and disappeared. II was
half an hour before he returned, and
there was such q change in his rugged
faafuraq that aven the mate felt com-
passion for him. But he had no alter
native. Anything to prevent Toms
father from learning the truth. He
had told his story, and now he must be
prepared with the details. Fortunate
ly the absence of his latest victim had
given him time to rapidly sketch out a
line of procedure which he hoped
would be safe.

CHAPTER v.
RIDER GETS A SURPRISE.

RIDER GETS "A oOhPhloE.
0bed Rider was far from easy in his
mind as the train sped on, leaving San
Francisco behind. He had slept on
board the vessel the previous night un-
til the noise Of the second mate arous-
ing the captain had awakened him.
They did not call him, knowing the en-
nifty that had existed between himself
and Tom. but he overheard enough to
tell him that Tom was alive, although
badly hurt and out of his head with
fever.
He knew Tom was in utter ignorance
of the identity Of his assailant, but had
he been aware of the loss of the belt?
Would the skipper remember the time
he had seen the mate coming out OF
Toms room and place any new sig
nifcance on the incident?
A guilty conscience made him imag-
inc all sorts of dangers TO himself, and
he trembled each time the train stopped
at a station lest an officer should be
in wait for him.
But nothing of the kind happened,
and in due time he reached Seattle.
Here things seemed more encouraging,
for he was fortunate enough to find
man who had engaged passage on
steamer for Skaguay and Dyea, which
sailed the same day. The man had re-
ceived telegram announcing the dan
gerous illness of his wife, and was eager
to leave Seattle by the next train.
The mate happened to be the first
man he met, and the latter soon came
to terms with him, and hurried Oh board
to secure his quarters. He kept him
self out of sight as much as possible.
but when the lines were cast of the
following day and the City of seattle
steamed out of the harbor be drew
long breath of relief, and said, half
aloud:
"We're off at last, and I'm safe now"
He found that his ticket entitled him
to stateroom, and that the trip from
Seattle to Dyea usually occupied about
five days. All his fellow passengers
were wild with impatience to reach the
land of gold, and now that he felt safe
from pursuit he eagerly listened to the
stories of wonderful wealth found by
lucky miners, for each one made it
more probable that the papers he had
secreted about him were genuine eyi-
dence, fact which at times he was in
clined to doubt.
He had paid the returning miner $500
for his ticket and outfit, the latter in

4 bout Johnston Cornish.

To THE E. OF THE RECORD.
With your permission, through the
columns of your paper, | would jog
the memory of the voters of Warren
county as to the kind of man they will
vote for or against at the coming cleo
ton, Nov. 9TH, for State Senator.
That man is Johnston Cornish, of
Washington, n. J. The voters of his
county know him we'll, but reminder
of his record will be in order at this
time. Because of his apparent non-ap-
pearance in the political arena since
the memorable election of 1894, does
he imagine that the mistakes and
plumbers he made when in the Senate
before have been effaced from the
memory of those who will decide his
fate on Nov. 18th? 1t was demon
strated at the Congressional election
of 1894 that he was not fit legislator
when his opponentreceiyed majority
of 151 in his supposed Democratic con
trolled county. Broken promises were
| finally resented. His vote for the
Race Track bill and the coal combina-
ton stared them in the face, and many
learned of the meanest and lowest act
that any employer could conceive
that of discharging men IN his EN-
ploy because they would not vote for
G. L. Stats for Senator. / was one
of the men discharged, consequently
| know whereof | speak. Must n
man sacrifice his right of suffrage for
the sake of position? Some do, but
the writer neper. Will the voters of
Warren county return to the Senate n
man with such record? / think not
His opponent, Miller r. Num-, of
Hackettstown, is man, every inch of
him. Compare the two men.
/ noticed in a certain Democratic
paper this admonition: at is import
ant that the dangerous Republican
majority in the Legislature be over
thrown" Yes, by all means over
throw them, and put i'll their place
Track, Intimidating Employee john
ston Cornish. A certain Democratic
paper says that Warren county has
never had Senator who proved more
attentive to his duties, and always a
friend to the poor, the unfortunate,
tho churches, the fraternal organiza-
tons, the workingmen, and all move
ments for the general good. Did he
uhNo gnu III Mo he"i "hoh no 1hot
his vote for the race track bill? Did
he have in mind the poor when he
voted for the coal combination? Was
he in sympathy with the workingmen
when he discharged those in his en-
ploy who would not vote as he wished?
Should my brother, with record
behind him that Cornish has, aspire
to the important position of State
Senator, would do all in my power
to defeat him.
The Republican party make mis-
takes occasionally, but they will make
no mistake when they elect M. r.
Num-, of Hackettstown, to represent
them in the State Senate.

The empty and mysterious asser-
tons Of tho Huntcrdoa Republican,
Ia the contrary Notwithstanding We
desire to say that we have investigated
our last Democratic Caucus and as
sert that 1t was the freest of fraud and
corruption of any caucus held in this
county in years. UHHterdon Demo
crat, Oct 81, 1899.
We notice that the editor does not
claim the late caucus was free of
fraud. In fact, the statement is II sad
admission. To further substantiate
it, most respectable candidate before
the caucus says he was counted out
by fraud" one of the wards in Lam
bortville was thrown out for fraud; it
il stated that an agent for some of the
candidates Mt each polling place in
Pennington paid one dollar apiece for
votes; and it is further charged that
fraud occurred in many places. AT
last we get Mt mn admitted fact, that
the caucus in this county for many
years has been unutterably corrupt,
and is still under the same old leader
ship.

Ii is well-known and well-re-
membered fact that Pidcock for years
controlled the politics in this county
through the Sheriff's office and the
Grand Jury, and it is equally we'll
known that George NJ. Frech, the
present Democratic candidate, is the
candidate of the same old Pidcock,
and that he has been ready to sacri-
flee everything to secure his nomina-
ton and election; that his pretended
endorsement of John Carpenter for
Surrogate was merely pretence and
that, in fact, he secured the co-opera-
tion Of the smaller "bosses" by buy
ing of their candidates where pos
sible. and when he traded of Carpen-
ter for Queen as candidate for Sur
rogate, he really gave nothing away,
but got decidedly the best of the bar
gain. The question is whether he is
again going to be able to renew his
grip ON the county and continue to
run it IN the same old manner

Mr. Frederick W. Hollis. who di,

Mr.. Frederick w. Hollis, who did
so much at The Hague to give credit
and effect to the work of the American
delegation mt the peace conference
last Summer, contributes to tho AHieri-
can NoHthiB RcpieW Of Rerictos for
November carefully prepared paper
on "Fhe Results of the Peace Confer
ence in Their Relation to the Monroe
Doctrine. 3" Mr.. Hollis clearly shows
that the declaration of the American
commissioners on July 90 WAS the
most emphatic expression of tho Mon
roe Doctrine ever made before the rep
resentatives of the great powers. He
also shows the groundlessness of the
fears Expressed in certain quarters MS
to the danger to American interests
likely to result from our participation
in the conference.

II is stated by persons that are
well-posted. that DIR, VIM. l.. Creye-
ling, our candidate for Assembly. will
beat Warren O. Laudenberger, the
Democratic candidate, in some of the
Democratic strongholds in the north
ern part of the county, and that if
the candidates were equally we'll
known in this end of the county, there
would he no question about the cleo
tion of Dir Creveling. Creveling is n
man of tho highest character and has
host of friends who have confidence
in his ability, while the other candi-
date owes his popularity to the friends
he has made about his fathers hotel
in Junction borough and to the fact
that he was the candidate of Boss Pid-
cock for the office 1t is openly stated
that he was not fairly nominated by
the eaucus. The face of tho returns
show that he only had 10 majority.

What lie Would Like

What Mr.. llavemeyer would like to sc
is the free admission of raw sugar and a
good sized duty levied upon refined sugar,
thus giving his reiineries absolute control
of the American market. After crushing
the domestic production, MIR Havemeyer
and his associates would certainly have
good thing, The great injusticn of tho
present schedule lies in the fact that 1t
enables tho Southern cane growers and
the Western beet sugar factories to make
a profit which really ought to go into the
pockets of the sugar trust. Mr. Have
meyer is a sadly abused man and the bost
way to do him justice will to be to carry
his Free Trade ideas step further and
admit refined sugar free, -Seattle Wash

SO long as the present jury law is
enforced the Office of Sheriff will be
sought for the purposes of blackmail
and the protection of crime. The
Sherif''s absolute power in the selec-
ton of the jurymen enables him to
stop eileetually the work of the courts
when political heeler or one who is
willing to pay for protection is the
culprit. This is why the Democrats
in several counties are willing to sac
rifiee everything else to elect their
candidate for Sheriff. This is why
decent citizens who wish to see the
laws enforced should vote the Repub-
lican ticket. IN. Y. Tribune, Oct. 30,
1899

A person who has travelled over a
greater part of the county says that ii
is a curious fact that while George NJ.
Frech, the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff, seems to have all the leaders
with him, the rank and file of the
party would like to see him defeated.
1t reminds one of the nomination of
w. $. Closson for County Clerk.
Howard Lake, who alone of the "boss-
es' was for Closson, has been got into
line for Frech, but he can't handle the
Independent, best element, of the
party, who seem to be able to think
and, we hope, vote for themselves.

There has been much said recently
about purifying the Democratic eau
Gus in this county and we all recognize
the necessity. The only plan to nc
complish anything, however, has not
been advocated by any of the Demo
cratic newspapers. The delegate sys-
tenn was tried once, and it was found
just as easy to purchase delegates as it
is to pad the returns; and so long
rs our Democratic friends permit the
"big bosses" and the little bosses"
to dictate the nomination or to force it
by corrupt means and they step up
and support it on election day, there
never will be any hope for real re-
form, but if when they know, as they
do now, that nominee for Sheriff was
nominated by such dictation, they
will accomplish more by electing his
opponent even if he happens to be n
Republican, such as Edward G. John
SON than they can by years of effort
in any other way.
