stalwart Republication.

The work of the Iowa State conven-
ton must be viewed with satisfaction
by loyal and thinking Republicans all
over the nation. 1t nominated strong
and clean men for the various State
offices. It's platform is clear-cut, pro-
gressiye statement of Republican pr.n-
ciples.
The convention justly congratulated
Congress upon it's currency legislation
and upon it's dealings With Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Philippines. 'The policy
Of this government toward the ISL
ands," it said, has followed ineyita-
bly, upon cur expulsion of the authority
Of Spain. 1t has been dictated by the
conditions present, has been consistent
with the spirit of the constitution, and
the paramount consideration has been
to secure the lasting welfare of these
peoples whose fortunes and destinies
have become in large degree depend
ent upon us"
The convention Endorsed the policy Of
protection as the foundation Of our in
dustrial and financial independence,
but It also recognized that that policy
is a practical one whose applications
must change with circumstances, and
Endorsed 1.-THE policy of reciprocity as
the natural complement of protection,
and urge its development as necessary
mercial possibilities"
In it's declarations concerning social
ed trusts" the convention recognized
them as useful instruments for the ma
tons industrial advancement, but as
serted ''the right residing in the people
to enforce such regulations as will pro-
tect the individual and society from
abuse of the power which great COM
binations Of capital WELD" No think
ing observer of industrial progress
could ask for more. None interested
in combinations can find the Iowa atti-
tude unfair or oppressive.
The Iowa convention has spoken
clearly fairly, and woTthily Of a great
Republican State. While the contest
for the various nominations was keen,
publicans have preserved their old and
commendable habit of doing all their
fighting before the nominations. Unit
ed and harmonious, ably led, advocat-
ing principles that appeal to every
loyal and fair-minded American, the
Republican party in Iowa enters upon
the campaign with the best prospects.

pectations disappointed there has been
no note of despair
No fact indicates the great advance
the country has made during the past
five wears more than this does. Let any
one imagine, If he can, the result OF
such a drought as that just ended com
inc in 1895. The country was then
laboring under the disasters brought Oh
by Grover Cleyels.nd's low tariff policy.
The production of manufactures had
been cut down in every direction and
in some instances it had ceased entire
ly. If long-continued and widespread
drought had occurred in the summer of
1895 the loss and suffering entailed
would have been almost incalculable.
It would have needed years to recover
from it.
Now. thanks to five years Of protec-
ton, the country is rich. 1t has large
reserve force which it can draw upon
in case of need. Consequently the loss
in crops by the recent drought will not
mean q reduction to poverty as it would
have done in 1895, but only a reduction
of the expected deposit III the savings
bank by the farmer and the working
man. This can be borne without COM
plaint And that is why there is no,

the rought.-Phladelph Press.

the courier had brought in from Fort
Clark. He had in his hand a long let
ter from Maj. Germon, setting forth, in
his own peculiar way, the death of Mr..
Reynolds and the wounding of Colin Nor
ton.
THE news from Fort Clark is rather
startling" said Judge Loring. Have
you heard from Mrs. Phelps?"
Yes, father" And Florence handed
him the letter.
"Ah! She writes like a woman said
the judge, glancing it over.
You could hardly expect her to write
like a man-like the gallant Maj. Ger
mon, for instance" replied Florence, with
Il touch of sarcasm in her voice.
well, | am very sorry for Lieut. Rey-
nolds," said the judge. HE impressed
me as being a fine young man.
Have you any regrets for Mr.. Nor
ton?' she asked.
''Of course l have. l am amazed at
you, Florence"
The judge pushed the papers aside and
began to carve. The dinner passed off
very quietly; and when it was over, the
judge was about to so to his own office,
where he usually lay down for an hour
after the midday meal.
Il wish to speak with you, father"
said Florence, stopping him at the door
What is it, florence"
Il am going at once to Fort Clark"
she said, decisively.
Going at once to Fort Clark 2" echoed
the Judge.
Yes, father"
Are you insane?''
''Do look to be insane?"
Il do not see what you are driving at"
said the judge, angrily.
Il am simply driving at this" she said,
with decisive ring in her voice that
startled him, and CLEAN in her blue
eyes that he had never seen there before.
Il owe my life to Colin Morton. and 9th
ers are indebted in the same way. He
risked all a man could risk to save me
and others, without any other thought
than that we were fellow-creatures. Is
not this true?''
Yes; and I offered to pay him and
Bracebridge for it."
ITO pay them?" with a touch Of scorn
in the intonations.
THAT is what l said
You did make that offer; and it was
so unlike You that | felt ashamed for
the father whom | have ever loved

But this man does not need your aid;
You are neither a doctor nor profess
sional NURSE
Not doctor, father: but every woman
with a heart worthy of her sex is a
nurse by instinct. There is another rea-
son why | should be at the bedside of

CHAPTER XII.

The Cascade Mountains are contlnu-
alton of the range known in California
and Oregon as the Sierra Nevadas. Sierra
Nevada is Spanish for "spow mountains"
It was the daring explorers Lewi1 and
Clark-after the latter Fort Clark was
aamed-who in 1906 callad these marvel
Gus mountains the Cascades. The name
suggests the cause.
The Cascades fully equal the Sierras in
general altitude, but they have more lofty
and commanding peaks. Mount st. Hell
sn, Mount Adams, Mount Rainier and
Mount Baker-the latter a more recent
name-rear their white SUBMITS into the
chin air, and look over one hundred and
hfty miles Of intervening forest, bay and
prairie far into the vast Pacific.
The mountains take their names from
she many cataracts or catcades that leap
down their sides, and clsaye their way
So Pugets Sound, or become tributaries
of the mighty Columbia, the greatest and
grandest of all the rivers that pour into
the Pacific from any land,
The home of Judge Ltring, or "LOr-
ang's Factory" as it was called, though it
was not q factory as we understand the
word in the East, was situated on the
shores or a Clear lake at Gae IooL OIL the
Cascade Range, and due west from Fort
Clark
Florence Loring and Jennie Ford were
standing by the lake, watching the In
eaians fishing from their canoes, and
drinking In the mountain air as if every
inhalation were an Intoxicating draGght
sRhey were both in riding dress, and as
4hey looked frequently in the direction
OF the stables, it was evident they were
waiting for their horses.
DO you not think it is time Scion was
back from Fort Clark" asked Jennie
Ford. She had just been going into rap
enres over the swaying streams, the
brown uplands, the dark green forests,

"There is a horseman coming this way
on the TRAIL" she saidf
81 hope it is Scion"
The expression had but passed Jennie S
lips when Cayuse horse, bearing an In
dian rider, came out of the woods.
''Solon! Solon!' called out Florence.
On seeing the ladies the young Indian
drew in his horse and sprang lightly to
the ground.
what is the news from Fort Clark =
asked Florence, and, in her eagerness,
she reached out her hand for the expect
ed letter.
'Much news" replied Scion. But the
letter of Mrs. Phelps will tell you all.
She opened the letter and read it aloud
for Jennie's benefit, and, as she read, She
turned pale, but managed to keep on to
the end.
Mrs. Phelps told her of the death Of
Mr.. Reynolds, the wounding OF Colin
Morton, and said that the latter was
then suffering from a fever at the L OFT
hospital, and asking in his dellrlum Tor
his former gentle nurse. =,
THANK you, Scion; you can ride On,
said Florence.
81 wish we could be near Mr.. Morton;
I wish he were here" said Jennie, as
they rode slowly back.
But he cannot come here" said Flor
ence, with set expression about her
beautiful mouth that made her look old
er for the time.
81 know that; and then to think that
Mr.. Bracebridge is away with Captain
Phelps"
HE must not be left alone said Flor
ence, resolutely.
''Will you go to him?'
'Yes. Let us go on to the house; my
father must know my purpose at once
Florence found dinner ready, but for
the meal neither she nor Jennie had any
appetite. Her father was sitting at the
head of the table reading the mail which

The waterfall at Niagara opened an
economic drama by damming up the
main waterway of the Northern States.
But for the innayigable rapids and

The last news we had was that Mr..

Back at the Fort disconsolate."
At this juncture red man appeared,
Realing two beautiful horses, equipped
with side saddles and groomed till the
reelection of the sun on their glossy sides
zrss quite dazzling. Florence the next
instant was secure in the saddle aud with
5ae bride in her left hand. Jennie Ford

We will be back to dinner, Ell re-

And witch way will de leddies go?"
Up the Sugar Loaf, and back by the
Fort Clark TRAIL
With the last word Florence touched
fhr whip to the side of her horse, so
gently that it might have been caress,
Sat the animal did not so understand it.
He wheeled, tossed up his chestnut name
and gnloped away for the hills, with
Jennie Ford's horse close alongside.
At the foot Of the elevation known as
she Sugar Loaf, Florence spoke to her
2orSe. and the animal at once came
down to a walk, an example that Jennie

The scenery around them was magnif-
aceat beyond the power of words TO de-
scribe but they had seen it and com.
Aaented on it before. Now they looked
dawn at the great sea of evergreen for
sst. through which ran the trail to Fort
Shark. Florence had field glass, and
&fter taking a survey of the woods and
she road leading up to the factory, She
handed the glass to her cousin, saying:

Then" said Jennie, waving the glass
away, lit is useless for me to try"
Scion is faithful. | never knew him

Il feel" said Jennie, las il something
fearful may have happened"
They came down from the mountain
sud refined in their horses to look at the
Rart Clark trail, which entered the dense
woods near by and was lost to Sight.

HOW THEY HURT EN-.
HARD BLOWS DEMOCRATS IN
FLICTED ON TRUSTS.
Party of the "Peepul" Landed Very
Violently on Corporate Wealth and
Power When 1t Was in Power
or Else 1t Didn't

Didn't the Democrats hit the trusts
hard when they were in power? Didn't
they hit the whisky trust when they ex-
tended the time for paying the ninety
million dollars taxes due the govern
ment? Didn't they lam it to the sugar
trust when they dallied with the tariff
bill until the trust had scraped the
earth for raw sugar and brought 1T In
free under the Mckinley bill? Didn't
they sock it to the trusts again when
they repeated the antitrust provision
of the Mckinley bill which imposed
fine not exceeding $1,000 on persons
convicted of entering into trust, and
then enacted an antitrust law that pre-
scribed no penalty against trusts, ex-
cept among importers, who are not or
ganized and never have been? Don't
they make the trusts tremble when
they assert that only the protective tar
if fosters them, while it is known that
trusts are organized and flourish IN
free trade England? Don't they land
another staggering blow to the trust oc-
topus when they threaten to bust 1t,
when it is known that their national
chairman, James X. Jones, belongs to
one of the biggest trusts in America?
Didn't they hit the Ohio trusts hard
when they denounced them in their
platform IN 1899 and then went to
Washington, d. c., and picked out the
rankest monopolist and trust stock
owner to run for Governor? Didn't the
New York Democracy present fine
spectacle as a trust fighter with ring
leader Of the whole pack criminally
connected with the American ice trust?
Didn't Chairman Jones land another
broadside into the octopus when he Of
fered an amendment to the Porto Rican
tariff bill to return the duties on sugar
imported from that island to the per-
son from whom they were collected,
which would have put over 100000
back into the hands Of the sugar trust?

Carpets and the Tariff,

In the natural course of events the
tariff schedules will from time to time
need modifying. But those who pro-
fess to believe that the modification
should consist in complete elimination
of the protective principle should take
note of testimony given before the Uni
ted States Industrial Commission in
New York the other day, when the fol-
lowing facts were shown: In 1870. 90
per cent of the carpets used in the
United States was imported. At the
present time 90 per cent is made at
home, and the value of the American
output is $75,000,0OO annually. Every
housekeeper knows that since the
home industry was established carpets
have improved In quality and fallen in
prices, while at the same time a great
Notwithstanding enterprise has been
established. There is nothing in these
facts that should cause carpet buyers,
or owners Of carpet factories, or work
ers therein, to look with favor on propo-
sitions to take protection out of the
tariff.-Rochester Democrat and Chron.
