Considine was married in May. For four
months Badeau heard of him and Mamie
only in a roundabout way One day to-
ward the close ef September Badeau met
him on the road.
Hello Hunch." he said. how are you?"
"All right. How's yourself?"
Fine. Why amt you been round to sec

to see Jess he was depressed. The thought
Of Mamie's suffering stood in his way when
ever he tried to respond to Jess sallies- As
the evening went on Hunchs mood grew
worse. jess went into a sulk later. When
he dropped a careless remark that hurt nsar
pride she grew angry.
whats the matter, Jess?' Hunch said
at last.
81 don't believe you want me here"
"Oh, you can go IL you want to-"
Hunch looked at her. vaguely conscious
that he had been unkind; but he went away
without kissing her good night.
One morning, day or two later. ne was
dressing when Bruce came in, with dis
ordered hair and excited eyes
Its all right, Hunch; it's all right! Doc
tor says it's wonderful how she come
through it
Hunch sat on the bed without speaking:
ITS girl said Bruce. and he laughed.
Come on over. Hunch. It's fine little
kid. Come along with me.
No" said Hunch, slowly, L don peIeSe

"You make me tired, Hunch. You might
as well be decent about it.
."There amt no use of getting mad,
Bruce I'll get around before long,.
That's what call
mo you don't now. Bruce. You'd better
go on back 1 guess they need you, any
how" -
Bruce muttered as he went out. He did
not know why Hunch refused to go; and
Hunch was not entirely sure himself
All day Hunch alternated between
nervous buoyancy and a sense of depres-
sion. After supper he went to Bartletts s.
Jess was watching at the window, and she
hurried to open the door. He was wonder
ing what to say to show her that he was
sorry for his unkindness. when she closed
the door and flung her arms around his
neck, and for long time she cried on his
shoulder. This was the end Of their quar-

stepped softly across the room and set the
cradle rocking gently. Then she bent over
1t, patting the little blanket and whispering.
Hunch stood watching her. She pressed her
cheek to the face on the pillow, then sud-
denly stood up. Her face grew white. She
looked at Hunch. and he tiptoed across the
room and bent over the cradle. The baby's
face was white He touched the face with
his finger. 1t was cold.
Mamie sank into q chair. She was still
looking at him. He said awkwardly:
"I'll get Bruce"
His hat had dropped to the floor. and he
picked 1t up and tiptoed back to the door.
He opened 1t and turned. Mamie had thrown
herself across the cradle, and he went out
without speaking
He found Bruce in Herve's saloon, and
sent him home.

If the democrats of Idaho must
GO down to defeat in the future in
Idaho, let's go pure and unsullied.
The party has given every man an
office who has asked for it, except
democrats, and we don't think any
more debts of this kind ought to be
paid. Hereafter all applicants for
jobs ought to bear a certificate Of
democracy. Those already elected
we believe, will come up as pure

populists, holding the balance of
power in the legislature, will de-

If any such demands are made Ida

rumor, however, though there may
be an inkling of truth in it. The

pected. But we shall see.

ers, the gallant descendants of Amer
lean merchants and missionaries made
proffer again of these valuable possess
sions to this country, asking only to
come under our flag and dominion. A
democratic president repudiated the
offer, and sought to assist in restoring
the former corrupt and oppressive rul-
er. 1t was left for this administration
to make them a part of American ter
ritory. They are on the way to our
islands in the southern seas; every in
stinct of self protection should have
prompted our quick acceptance of their
sovereignty, and yet they were acqui1.
ed in spite of the bitter opposition of
almost every democrat in congress.
During the last administration an Of
fer of settlement was made to the
Pacific railroads which would have
brought us AZ millions of dollars out
of the 70 millions of dollars due us
in principal and interest, President
Mckinley, refusing to consider as bind
ing the former offer, and acting within
the authority of congress, collected
every dollar of both principal and inter-
est due from the Union Pacific COM
pany, and the principal of the debt
due from the Kansas Pacific. We saved
more than 20 millions of dollars over
the offer of settlement made by Mr..
Cleveland, and have collacted all of the
principal and most of the interest due
us. Thus was the transaction closed,
and has since been followed by set
Element of the debt of the Central Pa
cific railroad, calling for every dollar Of
principal and interest of the debt,
amounting to So millions. More than
thirty-fve years ago republican adj
ministration lent the credit OF the
country to the building of the great
iron band that was to link together
the east and the west, lent it not in
times of peace, but when our country
was in the throes of civil war. The
area to be penetrated was then un-
settled and unknown. It is now a
great empire, rich, prosperous and
happy, and the money of the people,
which made the highway possible,
has been returned to them in over
flowing measure.
Whenever republican administra-
ton is in power there is constant talk
of trusts. The reason isn't far to seek.
Aggregations and combinations of cap
ital find their only encouragement in
prosperous days and widening COM
merce. Democratic administration in
this country has universally meant in
dustrial stagnation and commercial de-
preston, when capital seeks hid
ing place instead of investment. The
republican party has always maintain
ed that any combination having for
its purpose the cornering of market
or the raising or controlling of the
price of the necessaries Of life was un-
lawful and should he nunished, and a

This tells but a small fraction of the
story. Under the wise provisions OF
our tariff laws and the encouragement
afforded to capital by a renewal of pub
lie confidence, trade commenced to re-
ylve. The looms We're no longer silent
and the mills deserted; railways earn
ings Increased, merchants and banks
resumed business, labor found employ
lnent at fair wages, our exports in-
creased, and the sunshine of nope again
illumed the land. The figures that il
lustrate the growing prosperity of the
four years of republican administration
well nigh stagger belief. There isn't
an idle mill in the country today. The
mortgages on western farms have been
paid by tens of thousands, and our
farmers are contented and prosperous.
Our exports have reached enormous
figures; for the last twelve months
our exports of merchandise will exceed
our imports by $50 millions of dollars.
Our manufactured articles are finding
a market all over the world and in
constantly increasing Volume. We are
rapidly taking our place as one of the
greatest creditor nations of the world.
Above and beyond all, there is no man
who labors with his hands in our broad
domain. who cannot find work, and the
scale of wages was never in our history
as high as now.
Passing over, for a moment, the
events associated with the war, let me
refer briefly to other legislation OF the
past four years.
We have passed national bankrupt
act, a measure rendered essential by
four years of democratic rule, and I'M

that they should never be occupied by

the work of this administration chiefly

of the Spanish war. It is worth while
for us to recall earlier days.
The Democrat Legacy.
When Mr.. Mckinley became presi-
dent he took the reins of government
after four years of democratic admins
istration. For the first time in more
than a generation democracy had full
sway, with both houses of congress in
party accord with the executive. No
summary of the unmerciful disasters
OF these four years can convey, an idea
OF 1.-THE of the ruin they wrought.
In the four years preceding, Mr..
Cleveland's administration we had paid
260 millions of the national debt; he
added $2S0,000,000 to its burdens. He
found a tariff act, bearing the name of
his successor and our president, fitted
to meet the requirements of our nee
essary expenditures, to furnish the
needed protection to our farmers and
manufacturers, and to insure the stea-
dy and remunerative employment of
those who labor. Instead of permit
ting manufacture and commerce that
rcpose and stability of law which are
essential for working out economic
conditions, he at once recommended
violent and radical changes in revenue
and tariff provisions, commentators
which his party in congress proceeded
partially and disastrously to execute.
tIShe annallinr result of his nolinv &c

who suffered from it. In four years

than $900,0OO,O0O of dollars One hun
