Severe on Boilers.

Sometimes the gold democrats who
bolted the ticket in 1896 complain be-
cause the regular democrats insist that
those who deserted the party five years
ago should, on coming back, give some
assurance of their purpose to support
the ticket hereafter. While the con-
ditions imposed have never been UNI
reasonable orsevere, they have aroused
violent criticism in some quarters. 1t
may not be out Of place, therefore, to
quote what the st. Paul Globe says
it condemns some St. Paul aldermen
who deserted their party in the cleo
ton of a county commissioner. The
following is an extract from the Globe'r
editorial:
sit is as the Globe predicted it would
be. A democratic county commissioner
has beer elected by the votes of the
democratic aldermen assisted by one
republican, and democratic traitors are
ignored and spat upon, as they long
since should have been. Treason to
the party has not been found profitable
in practice among st. Paul democrats.
1t will be found no more in the future.
Hunt and Bantz have a severe reckon
ing before them; and we apprehend
that the mass of ST. Paul democrats
will find as little use for them in the
future as the democratic aldermen
found for them in the election of Coun-
ty Commissioner Kelley.
"The way of the transgressor is hard
and transgressors these men nave been
of all the rules and o~bservances in po-
Hltica1 life which oil tr,,o narfu ~,ar
and good citizens will hold themselves
bound by. The Globe will gladly aid
their return to the obscurity from
which they should never hay,
emerged"
n%ouncing democratic aldermen who re-
fuse to support their party in q local
fight than the silver democrats are in
condemning papers, which, like the
Globe, deserted the presidential ticket
in q national contest.
There is very little consolation that
democrats can draw from last weeks
elections, but those who made a fight
for democratic principles have more of
it than those who relied upon the per-
sonal popularity of the candidates.
Patriotic Americans who want to
help the Beers can do so by selling

You suspected one of our people?"
Yes; I suspected Francisco. Did it
not seem strange to you that Francisco

other matter but little thought. Fran

daughter. all begged for twelve hours

Gomez pointed grimly to the dead
sentinel.

vantage. 1t seems, and have said fare

Where did Salvarez obtain the
knife?"
Where. indeed, unless from Fran.

CHAPTER XIV.

Namampa, the Hero Doctor.
J While Medworth and Tempest were
exerting themselves to a General
Salvarez and his family, and were con-
circulating themselves upon the fact
that Don Juan's daughter, If not free
from, the clutches of the royalists, was
at least temporarily safe, owing to a
slight illness, the truth was that Lola
was In so feeble and dangerous a con-
dition that Don Juan, Philip and Go
mez were all very much alarmed about
her.
While the exciting scenes attendant
upon the escape of Salvarez were being
enacted, 1t might we'll be wondered
that neither Philip nor Gomez should
have been in the council room, or any
where near to prevent the successful
issue Of Medworth's plot.
Don Juan, who. Notwithstanding hts
vaulting ambition, sternness and pride,
really loved his daughter, was torn
with anguish and bitterly condemned
himself for bringing her against her
will to a place that now threatened to
be the cause of her death.
Nearly the same anxiety was shown
by Philip, and he did not conceal it.
Gomez, felt. in his own way, a great
anxiety, but he skillfully concealed the
true state Of his feelings and appeared
rather the sympathetic friend than the
bafled lover.
After a conference between the three
Mattazudo was dispatched for Namam-
pa, the herb doctor who lived three
miles distant. Mattazudo's eyes gleam-
ed with triumph as he bore away to-
ward Namampa's hut.
Gomez, perhaps, discovered the mis-
chief in Mattazudo's looks, for he
started to warn the half-breed against
any more treachery. But Philip stopped
him.
Don't go, Gomez" he said. 81 wish
to speak to you in the council ROOM"
Then turning to Don Juan, he said:
my dear Cara, remain here with your
daughter, and let me know when this
herb doctor comes"
Philip and Gomez left together. and
went ut onc to the council room.
"How is this?" said Gomez, pausing
at the door. 1.-THE room where Sal

CHAPTER SHORTCOMINGS.

CHAPTER XTV.-(Continued.)
Jacnta's beating, bounding heart was
with a flood of emotions. Her
father would be saved. She also and
her mother would be taken out of the
poWer of the c%onquerors. She would
escape from the hateful alliance with
francisco. She would be with him
q brave American-her hero.
A low whistle broke in upon her
meditations. Salvarez and Jacinta,
quickly snatching a moment when the
sentinel could not see, sprang to the
window.
A pistol and a knife were thrust
through the bars.
MY pistol" said Medworth. "Phil-
ip's knife. The coast is clear. But
don't shoot II o can possibly help 1t.
Use the knife if you must; it is silent"
Salvarez grasped the instrument of
his salvation and breathed a blessing
upon Medworth.
Jacinta caught his receding hand in
hers and kissed it.
Hurry" said Medworth. Glide the
weapons. Shall I attract the guard?"
YES" whispered Salvarez, drawing
back from the window.
Immediately there arose outside the
window a low, peculiar cry, startling
and weird, sounding like neither the
cry Of man nor beast. The sentinel
heard it.
He saw the three prisoners standing
IN apparent fright, gazing toward the
window.
What is it?" asked the guard.
Jacinta, whose excitement might cas-
lily be taken for fear, pointed with
trembling finger toward the window.
"Something-there!" she said.
Again the wall. beginning in almost
nothing, rising, swelling, until it SEEM
ed like the dying cry of a demon.
With a murmur of surprise and
alarm. the guard sprang to the window
with his gun, ready to fire.
Like a flash, S~alvarez was upon him.
The desperate general hesitated not a
moment. The knife flashed in his hand,
cleaned as he poised it a second above
the doomed man, and then descended.
The sentinel groaned, staggered, gave a
despairing look at his executioner, and
fell at Jacinta's feet a corpse.
"Come!" said Salvarez. They fol-
lowed him from the room, and in the
twinkling Of an eye they had disap-
peared through the sliding panel.

QUARRIERS VI MANUFACTURE
ZRS

Editor TELEGRAM:-One would nat
urally suppose that these tw'
branches of the granite business wer'
so closely connected together that th'
same business principles, that wer'
employed by the one would be employ
ed by the other, but alas for the bes1
interests of Barre, this is not so, ant
this city and our great industry suf
fer thereby.
The quarries used to be run on tht
same lines as the manufacturers aw re-
"Secure all the orders you can at most
any price, was their motto, but the
good sound common sense Of the
quarry owners finally made them rea
llze that to make their business profit
able they must change their meth
ods.
Some two years ago they agreed on
a standard price per foot for the diff
ferent grades OF stock and determin'
ed to stick to it whoever got the or.
ders This resolution and a sprink.
ling of confidence among themselves
has resulted In placing some fifty
thousand dollars on Othe right side Of
the quarrymen ledgers during the
last two years.
The interest of Barre has not suf-
fered in any way thereby we are
quarring more granite today than
ever, and the demand.forthe same.just.
hes the quarrymen, in the present in.
crease IF five cents per foot on all
kinds Of stock.
How much longer are the manu-
facturers going to run along In the
old rut Surely the lesson taught by
the quarrymen is something. we
may Well profit by. We have an or
ganizAtion that could help us 10 this
matter. All that is needed is mu-
tual confidence in one another, and
surely in. the present condition of
trade this can be easily engendered.
With all the work in the market that
Anyone could ask for let us get to-
gether aid decide on certain per
cent. of increase IN the present sell
ling prices.
Rid ourselves of that old feeling
that our neighbor will not live up to
any agreement that may be made but
stand steadfast to whatever may be
agreed to and II any one or any dozen
of firms are foolish enough to 60 be-
hind the agreement, all the work they
can handle will not in any way hurt
th' Sc who live up to it. Never was
there more oppurtune time than
the present and trust the manuiac.
lures will take this matter up hearth
ly and help place the granite manu-
featuring industry in Barre on as
sound and profitable basis as is the
