CHAPTER XVIII.
The Artists Acquittal.


Jane Grey still fingered between life
and death. Too near the dark river
to give any intelligence of what had
happened to her.
Holbrook had passed through his
preliminary examination with lowering
fortunes. A tremendous weight of cir
cumstantial evidence was brought to
Bear upon the case.
The flat-dwellers of the east side ten
ement were as a unit in testifying
against him. No one ever saw Jane
Grey go out unless in company with
the prisoner; no one had ever seen
visitors of any sort ring the Holbrook
bell. The girl seemed to be unknown
and friendless.
There was good deal of rancor
mixed up with the testimony. Hol-
brook had thought himself better
than his neighbors," which is an I'M
pardonable sin always and every
where.
The clouds that wrapped his fair
name in a dark eclipse did not lift,
but flung lower and blacker with the
passing of the days. Fielding knew it.
Teddy's few friends knew it ard he
knew 1t himself.
Little Hedges never once deserted
him. He had been committed without
bail to await the issue of James in
juries. His master came to see him
every day.
1t was hard for them to talk to each
other about their beloved mistress
Art when their hearts were so full Of
one thing. Sometimes long wordless
moments fell between them. Teddy
was generally the one to make the
successful effort at talk.
One afternoon he lifted his head sud-
denly to look at the little painter and
found his faded eyes swimming in
tears. A smile sadder than little
Hedges tears broke up the somber
gloom of his face.
Dear master are these tears for
me? 1t is good to have one friend to
care SO much
Little Hedges blew his nose vigcr-
ously.
1T is the injustice of it all that
makes me writhe. The idea that lot
OF cackling hays can swear away
man So
Life!" Teddy supplied the word
that stuck in his friends throat. Eyes.

"A low life, Willie?"
Desbrow shook his head angrily.
"There-drop hint He Is a miser-
abb young villain. 1t nauseates me to
think he was ever inside my doors.
Don't speak Of him."
Diana had gone for light shawl to
throw over Mrs. Desbrows shoulders.
She stepped through the open win
dow with 1t at that moment. Her
cheeks were whittier than the soft white
cashmere she wrapped about her god
mothers shoulders with tender care.
Her hand came into contact with Mrs.
Desbrow's cheek. 1t was like ice.

They are just out of cold water"
she said, steadily.

legitimate business. The great bulk
OF mining stock sold has no positive
value. Oaly a speculative value
is claimed for it, The really good
mines do not seek buyers through
the stock mar ket of the broker. A
good mine or good prospect can
be sold any day in the year in any
ket The doubt OF the value
of mine or prospect only drives
the promoters to the channel that
leads through the brokers office.
The mine that has a display of
valuable ore has positive value.
hen the value is classed as
speculative it may be set down as
a hazardous investment. The ex-
perienced mining men seem to
scent even he good prospects in
every district. Il is easier to sell
even a good prospect than it is to
sell staple goods in the mercantile
world. The wealthy mine operators
will take more chances than any
other class of spectators. There
fore the good mine or good pros.
pect that goes begging long for a
buyer is an exception, at least. 1t
is asserted IN mining circles that
gold i'll the ground can be sold
easier than gold in bullion, even
to the wisest mine operators.
There is a tacination alb ut the
business that robs the devotee of
discretion. and it is easier to sell
a mine for more than its value
than any other property,

The first full ships cargo OF
wheat was shipped from Portland
last week to a market beyond the
Pacific. The cargo of 81, 900
bushels was sent to Yokohoma.
1t is believed this Pacific trade
VIII increase very rapidly; and
that our coast cities will be our
Chief markets. Flour has been
shipped quite extensively to the
Chinese ports for some years and
wheat has been taken in small
quantities; but the demand promises
the organization of a grain fleet
for the Pacific in the near future.
The distance 10 the Pacific ports
is much shorter than around the
Horn. When the Pacific coast
wheat grower becomes independent
OF the eastern and Liverpool
market manipulators he will be
fortunate. The long sea voyage
and the car haul across the CONT
nent have never left much hope OF
profitable markets for the western
farmers.

The principal opposition to free
rural mail delivery comes from the
employees of iourth-cIass postofiices,
whose occupation would be en-
dangered by the success of the
system, says the Oregouian. This
is not at all surprising, aud, since
every petty postmaster has a
political pull, the opposition is
quite ioIm idable In the ag-
gregate, these officials constitute
quite an army of occupation, so to
speak, and their influence is
strongly felt by representatives in
congress, by the department, and
even by the president himself.
The embattled fourth-class post
masters, therefore, may be con-
sldered the most formidable
obstacle which rural postal de.
livery has met. II is, in fact. a
verltable "kopje" which must be
successfully stormed before further
progress is made in that direction.

The Kentucky Tragedy.


The shooting Of William Goebel
is a fitting sequel to a reign Of po-
litical strife. The cowardIy crime
of assassination is not in keeping
with boosted Kentucky chivalry
but honor and yaiur have surely
waned in that southern land when
the will of the people As expressed
IN the ballot, is sacrificed for the
lust OF Office. At this distance aud
with only the information conveyed
through partisan sources, we may
not be able to form definite ideas
OF the relative merits or the claims
OF the Republicans and Democrats;
but 1t Is safe to say there was a
manifest disposition on the part OF
Goebel and his followers to force
Governor Taylor out of the Office
in which he had been placed by
official authority. Whether Taylor
was legally elected or not, Goebel
was to have been declared Cover
nor by the democratic board and
legislature. Ii was useless to argue
to the supporters of Taylor that the
Goebel machine would determine
the contest upon the merits of the
evidence adduced Goebel had
formulated the plan OF contest and
by his shrewdness and unscrupu.
lousness made the result of the
present cosstest a foregoue conclu.
sion. He made the very law while
in the state senate that was to
make this contest certain victory
tor him. Goebel was the central fig.
ure in the opposition to the repub.
licans. He had reputation as a
fighter, having killed a prominent
man in street duel. He was cen
sured even by his own party lead
ers for his political methods. The
republican leaders believed they
were being robbed of the fruits
OF victory, but the leaders we
depending upon the courts of the
United States If not Of Kentucky.
The conditions aud the reputation
OF Goebel however fred The blood
OF the mountaineers, who really
know no moral or legal restraint on
occasions OF personal effrontery.
The custom of taking the law in
hand prevails in that southern
country. The gun is the first and
last resort in the moral code of
these people. 1t is therefore not
matter of wonder that Goebel was
assaulted by an individual who |
made the common cause a personal
cause.
The political contest is exceed
ingly humiliatiug to the great ma
Jority OF the Americas people. I'll
becomes national tragedy. Our
political institutions are on trial |

had the benefit of experience and
intelligent citizenship for SO many
years, points out weakness of
which all good citizens will be
ashamed. II is not a party but
