FINo nominees were ever placed before
the people any more fairly than those at
the top Of this column. Only on one place
was there any controversy. Chas. Shaw

the votes cast by populists as well
as by democrats in an open and fair elec.
ton. He is, without question, the choice
of both populists and democrats and wa;
selected because they believed him to b

General Grant in his memoirs tells Of
hearing two coyotes one night and think
ing from their noise there were hundreds.
He further says that very few persons
interested in some political matter will
often make themselves as numerous ap,
parently as the two coyotes. This is the
condition now in Sumner county so fai
as the number of fault-fnders in the pop
ulist party is concerned. Republicans are
welcome to all the consolation they car
get out of the big talk they are making
along this line.

Our New Story, "in His Steps"
Not since the DAYS when Harriet
Beecher Stowe published Uncle Toms
Cabin, has there been a story which oc-
casioned so much discussion as I'm His
Steps" the first chapter of which will ap-
pear soon in the VOICE. Tell your
neighbors of this We have the entire
book in plates and it will appear in this
paper. The book was written by Kan
sas man, Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon, of
Topeka, read to his audience by chapters
and then published. The first year it
sold at the rate of over a thousand copies
daily. Three million copies were sold in
four months and the latest reports were
that twelve millions copies had been sold.
Everybody is talking about this wonder
full story, discussing and criticising it,
and we want the VOICE readers to have
the best that's going. The author prac-
tices what he breaches, and has declined
a $4,000 year salary to 60 east. The
royalty, or most of it on the book is be-
ing expended in charity, and much of it
in helping the "Tennesseetown" color
ed people of Topeka to learn to work
and live better lives. If millions of peo-
pie are buying and reading this great
work you ought to read a few chapters
to get in touch with what the literary
world is discussing.

TOM CORWIN'S WIT.
Peculiar Expressions Used in the
Speeches of the Famous
Statesman.
ITO BE Continued

One of the peculiar characteristics
of Mr.. Corwin's speeches was the very
frequent introduction of Scriptural
phrases and illustrations. His early
reading had included the Bible and
BlackstOne'S Commentaries, and the
former must have made the deeper i'm
preston of the two. | have heard him,
when defending a poor newspaper re-
porter in Cincinnati, charged before
United States court with aiding in the
escape of a fugitive slave, after con-
vulsing the court with merriment at
his picture of 1.-The majesty of the
United States" in hot pursuit of an
unhappy negro making toward Canada
as fast as his feet could carry him,
turn the fun into solemn silence by
apt illusions drawn from the golden
rule and the Sermon on the Mount.
Corwin's speech in the house in 1S4O
in reply to Gen. Crazy, of Michigan,
who had attacked the military record
of Gen. Harrison, is still often referred
to as fine example of irony and sar-
casm. 1t covered the unhappy Crary,
Will IlUlCulC, anu even the SeQdCe ana
serious John Quincy Adams, then in
the house, referred to the victim i'm
mediately afterward as 1.-The late Mr..
Crazy" But there were in nearly
every one of Corwin's speeches some
scintillations of wit or humor to en-
liven the ordinarily dull debates. and
whenever he took the floor the mem
bers were eager to listen.
Speaking upon internal improve
ment of rivers, he said: your consti-
tuition is fish that can live and thrive
in little tide-creek which a thirsty
mosquito would drink dry in a day"
In ridiculing the southern claim of
their right to dissolve the union if
precluded from carrying slavery into
New Mexico and adjacent territory.
he described the great American des-
ert as "land in which no human crea.
ture could raise either corn or cotton

and thrusting her feet into slippers,
she went to her writing desk in a corner
and sat down. For moment she
leaned her head on her folded arms and
her lips moved mutely. Then she
opened the desk, and from a secret
drawer took out package of letters
and began to peruse them. She was
searching for evidence with which to
subdue the horrible fear that was TAX
ing root in her consciousness. AS she
laid each note aside a voiceless convic-
ton cried out in her heart. One of the
letters she held before her long and
steadily, while her beautiful eyes dis
tended and her breath almost ceased.
1t contained some passages which had
suddenly risen before her minds eye
during the talk in the drawing-room.
They ran as follows:

tionality seems to desert me, leaving me

She tried to sob out the awful agony
pent up within her, but her eyes re-
manned dry, her torture became more

her hands clasped behind her neck and
her head drawn downward she began
to pace to and fro. Near the door she
walked into the arms of Mrs. Winfret.
"Oh, darling!" cried that lady, u
thought you were asleep"
"For Gods sake don't talk to mel"
The girl ground the words between her
teeth.
Mrs. Winfret put her hands on the
girls shoulders, and turned her rigid
face to the light. 1t was as if Mrs. Win
fret were afraid.that a single word from
her would evoke another outburst, for
she said not q word.

And clouds hang dark in the sky for q

And bitter winds blow?
Little life, hidden life, flow, fowl
Here is stream that runs at my feet
With murmur of music, soothing and sweet.

Lies dreary waste, half sand, half stone.
And there it's waters are all but lost.
Little life, hidden life, cease to moan;
The desolate place is speedily crossed.
Count not the hours, nor reckon the cost:
Not dead is the old glad undertone;
And sweet was the music of long ago!

Leave thy weeping, forget thy woe.

CHAPTER Y.

Ms. Winfret solicitously accom-
panied her niece to her chamber. She
dismissed the drowsy maid, and herself
undressed the girl and sat beside her
bed for some moments. Her own
nervousness seemed to have taken
little flight into the realm of gratifed
vanity over having aided famous de-
tective in most important investiga-
ton. When Dorothy seemed quieter
she rose and went softly to her own
room.
Dorothy found herself alone. There
was an awful solemnity about the ar
tistic chamber with its high ceiling dec
GRATED with figures that seemed to rise
from their somber background and
peer at her through the subdued light.
The passage of vehicles on the street
below was now markedly infrequent.
