being the two great political com
mandments on which hang all laws
and all constitutions. Keep these
truly and you will keep all. Write
them in your statutes; write them in
your hearts. This is the great and
only final settlement of all existing
questions.
Tonight, under the glory Of the
Heavens which lovingly bend down
over all the sons and daughters of the
Republic, like mighty canopy pro
tecting the grandest and freest nation
on earth, our happiness is marred by
the cry of millions of our fellow citi-
zens pleading for the right of a full
and complete citizenship. Their faces
are turned toward the party that
struck from their limbs the chains
and manacles that bound them; with
out-stretched hands they implore us
In the name of all the sons of lib
erty; In the name Of all our illustrious
dead; in the name of all our great
leaders who have Joined the immor
tai host beyond. Their pleading shall
not be In vain. The pledge of the
Republican party must be kept, and
1t will be kept.
Great men will solve this problem;
men who have at heart the great inter-
est of the nation; men Of experience
wisdom and reason; men enlightened
and patriotic; men whose personal
ambitions will be merged in the good
of their country; men of far-reaching
views and the power of taking in the
interest of the whole country rather
than a section. Such men, are states
| men. Such men have been the glory
of the Republican party in the past.
| Such men are the pride of the party
| today. Their courage and fidelity will
not permit them to falter until this
great right shall have been placed
beyond dispute or recall. This accom-
| plished, the world will have had an
other evidence of the strength and sta
bility Of our institutions, and the
Republican party will have added an
other glorious page to its history.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Depends upon the name.
SCOTS Emulsion is a name
that has value. Maybe it
doesn't mean much to YOU
but to the consumptive who
has been strengthened and fat
tened, to the sickly children
who have received good health,
to the weak mothers and
babies who have grown strong
to these SCOTS Emulsion
means something.
To all of them it has meant
an easy and natural return to
health.

WHAT is THE REMEDY?

Having shown you then, the in.
equity and enormity of this abom-
inable evil, what is the remedy to be
advanced? We may be very sure that
our fathers and our elder brothers,
who fought for the integrity of this
Union Of ours, and who conquered an
honorable peace, did nothing to merit
the reproach Of posterity for failing
to hedge about their regenerated Ma
tion with safeguards imbedded In or,
ganic law They undertook to see to
1t that in National affairs the Confed-
crate soldier who struck down the
flag should not be at an advantage
over the Union soldier who fought for
1t.
And so 1t was that the 14th amend
ment to the Constitution was made

in practice, to my mind admits Of no
question. We may be very sure that
a people who rob their fellows of po-
litical power to serve selfish ends, will
not willingly be shOrn of their own
share in that power, If future obedi-
ence to the law can restore it to them.
These states will do many things be-
fore thy will be at the disadvantage
which reduced representation in
Congress and the Electoral College
will bring about. Rather than that,
they will even be just to their elec-
tors and compete for their votes, in
stead of supressing or stealing them,
under the forms of law. To people
to whom political prestige is so dear
as to become the subject Of grand lar
ceny in it's acquisition, necessity may
become a virtue, which will be no less
virtuous because enforced in obedi-

they rebelled, and which they had
sought by force of arms to destroy,
and at time when they lay conquer
ed and helpless. OF it Mr.. Blaine said:
There is such absolute justice and
fair dealing in this proposition, that
no reply which deserves to be called an
argument has ever been made to it."
And yet,-in spite of it's fairness and
its justice, the remedy thus created
has never been enforced. On the con-
trary, a half dozen states emboldened
by the immunity afforded by long
suffered defiance of this salutary and
just law have had the effrontery, en-
gendered by this successful GRIMM
ality, to attempt to evade, under the
orderly forms of constitutional pro-
vision, the safeguards of the 14th
Amendment, and to shut out from the
ballot an entire race.
Upon every consideration, 1t is the
duty of the Republican party to right
this fiagrant wrong, to redress this
National grievance. In no other way
can 1t be completely loyal to its glor-
ious traditions. Not otherwise can II
entirely uphold its ancestral honor
its ancient fame, it's Godlike past
But above and beyond all else, the
performance of this plain duty is laid
upon us because 1t is a duty, because
| 1t is simple Justice, because it is etern-
ally and absolutely right. That the
remedy advanced will prove effectual

"He was the fiend incarnatel" ex-
claimed the physician.
"Well," said Sturgis, after q mo-
ment Of thoughtful silence, "at any
rate, he was not wantonly cruel. Ee
was heartless; he was pitiless; but
his cruelty was always a means to an
end. however selfish and Legitimate
that end might be. His cruelty is
that, in measure, of every human
being destroying life that he may live
and trampling upon his fellow men
that he may be comfortable. Be-
tween Murdoch and the rest of us there
was difference of degree, certainly,
but was there a difference of kind?"
There is one thing which can
not yet understand" said Thurston,
land that is, why Murdock should
have pushed his audacity to the point
Of defying you to ferret out the mys-
terry Of this crime, when he might
perhaps have avoided all risk Of de-
lection by holding his tongue"
mo man Is perfect" answered
Sturgis, sententiously, mot even an
accomplished villain like Murdock,
fortunately for the rest Of mankind.
Every human being has his weak
points. Murdock had two:-his van
ity and his love for his daughter.
They were the only traits which con.
nected him with the human family.
To them he owes his undoing."

MINNESOTA POPULISTS IN
LINE.

The Fusion Pops of this state, or
rather portion Of the state central COM
mittee, have issued an address to the
Populists of the state declaring in favor
of an Independent national ticket, but
at the same time coddling fusion for
state and county tickets. 1t lauds Bryan
and in doing so virtually admits that
they would welcome fusion again on the
same terms or its equivalent. The adj
dress says that 1T is idle to apologize
for the mistakes of the past" We re-
joice that the committee have the cour-
age to admit that the party made mis-
take when it got into bed with the
Democrat party and in doing so
acknowledge that our position was right.
1t is too late to remedy the evil already
accomplished except to abjure fusion al
together and in every form. No man
can have any confidence in any party
that continually makes overtures to other
parties to aid in boosting few men into
position. To unite on state ISSUES leads
inevitably to fusion nationally, and is
absolutely fatal to the upbuilding of an
organization of force in the country. It
looks to us that the address is a sort
of grand stand play for position so
as to be in shape to catch any pfums
that may fall in local way and yet ap-
pear to the country as being loyal to the
principles of the party. There is but
one road to success and that is through
Independent action from top to bottom,
all the time and every time The people
will then have confidence in your efforts
and will join you-Madison Lake New
Era.

the reporter and his friend had disap-
peared.
After questioning the man whom
they had left on watch on the outside,
and ascertaining that neitherSprague
nor Sturgis had yet left the house,
the detectives called loudly to the
missing men, and receiving no reply,
at last became alarmed and sent word
of the mysterious disappearance to
headquarters. The chiefs answer came
at once:
"Remain on watch where you are.
We shall investigate from the other
side"
One of the detectives thereupon went
up to the roof of the building, whence
he could keep watch upon the back
yards, while his companion remained
in the front hall.
They had been waiting thus for some
time, when the latter thought he heard
footsteps in the direction of the private
Office. He was on the alert in an in
slant.
The door was cautiously opened and
man stepped out into the hallway.
He carried a valise and package. He
blinked like a man coming suddenly
from the darkness into the daylight.
"Who are your" asked the detective,
brusquely.
The man looked in the direction Of
the voice, and, as his eyes became &C
customed to the light, returned the de-
tective's surprised stare with calm
and searching look.
"Checkmate!" he muttered quietly
to himself at last.
Then, without seeming haste, he
passed back into the private Office, be-
fore the astonished detective could
make any attempt to stop him.
Recovering himself quickly, the de-
tective followed the sounds of the re-
treating footsteps to the cellar stairs.
Then, fearful of an ambush, he fred his
revolver as signal to his companion
on the roof; and, after striking .
match, he cautiously descended, reach
ing the cellar just in time to see MUIR

bottles to dance and rattle.
"Come, now" he shouted, "the games
up! You may as we'll be reasonable.
You can't possibly escape, for you're
surrounded"
No answer came from within.
The man tried his powerful strength
upon the door without any perceptible
effect.
When the second detective arrived
upon the scene he found the first one
removing the bottles from the shelves
by the light of match held in his
left hand
Get light and an ak, Jim. There's
secret door here which we'll have to
break in; can't find any way of open
ing It,"
A few minutes later. the detectives,
after dealing upon the shelves some
telling blows with an ak, called upon
Murdoch to surrender.
Receiving no answer to their sum-
mons, the men stood irresolute for q
few seconds. Then, with grim deter
mination, they attacked the door;
raining the blows upon it fast and fu-
riously, and filing the air with show
er of splinters.
At length final stroke sent the
weakened hinges from their fastenings,
and the men rushed through the I'M
derground passage into the murderer's
laboratory.
A hasty, startled glance told them
that Murdoch was not there.
They started for the stairs and were
met by a policeman who was Just en-
tering Murdock's Office.

tives in chorus.
NO." replied the policeman, sur
prised; "Mr. Sturgis says he went down
here about 20 minutes ago."
1--WE chased him in from the other
end not ten minutes ago."
The policeman hurried down the
stairs.
Murdock's valise and package stood
conspicuous upon the long pine box.
But of Murdoch there was no sign.
"Gone!" exclaimed one of the detec-
tives, deeply mortified at the thought
that his quarry had slipped through
