During the past week the construc

Mcleod laughed at the address of the
Democratic committee and swore CASTOR
was the organizer of the movement.
Mcleod determined to nip the move
ment in the bud by putting CASTOR I'M
der a cloud that would destroy his inf1u-
ence He did not dare to attack him for
his part in the revolution at Indepen-
dence. He preferred to belittle that af-
fair as local disturbance.
But at an election for Congressman to
fill a vacancy, the Democratic candidate
had won by narrow margin in cam
paign Of great bitterness under Gastons
leadership.
Charges of fraud were freely made on
both sides. Mcleod determined to util-
ize these charges, and by producing per-
jured witnesses before a packed court,
place CASTOR in Jail without bail until
the convention had met.
He had every advantage in such con-
spiracy. The United States judge whom
he intended to utilize was a creature of
his own making, a trickster whose con-
frmation had been twice defeated in the
Senate by the members of his own party
on his shady record. But he had won
the place at last by hook and crook, and
Mcleod owned him body and soul.
Accordingly CASTOR was arrested with
warrant Mcleod had obtained from his
judge, arraigned before him and com
mitted without bail. He was charged
with a felony under the election laws,
taken to Asheville and placed in jail.
The audacity of this arrest and the
vehemence with which Mcleod pressed
his charges created a profound sensation
in the State. 1t was rumored that the
graver charge of murder lay back OF the
charge of felony and would be pressed in
due time. murder had been COM
mitted in the district during the exciting
campaign and no clue had ever been
found to it's perpetrator. Mcleod knew
he had no evidence connecting CASTOR
with this event, but he knew that he had
henchmen who would swear to anything
he told them and stick to it.

raging in his soul. The realization of the
shame and the horror of his position!
He was the son OF Eliza Harris who
had fled from the kindliest form of
slavery in Kentucky. He had trained
mind and the brightest gifts of musical
genius. Yet he stood that day at the

of living negroes. He tried to imagine
the figure of John Brown marching by

1t Is necessary to make use only Of the

width Of any ordinary stream, or even Of a
good-sized river, and here Is the way to
do 1t:
Select part Of the river bank where the
grounds run back level, and standing at
the waters edge. hx your eyes on the oppo-
site bank. Now, move your hat down over
your brow until the edge Of the brim Is ex-
actly on line with the water line on the
other side. This will give you a visual
angle that may be used on any level sur
face. and II, as has been suggested, the
ground on your side Of the river be nat, you
may ''lay OFF, corresponding distance on
it. To do this you have only to hold your
head perfectly steady, after getting the
angle with your hat brim. supporting your
chin with your hand II necessary, and turn
slowly around until your back is toward the
river. Now take careful note of where
your hat brim cuts the level surface of the
ground as you look over the latter, and
from where you stand to that point will be

readily be measured by stepping. II you
are careful In all these details you can come

TAXATION OF CATS.
Provision of Bill in the Massachu-
setts Legislature.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In every considerable community in this
broad land the owner Of q dog has been
compelled to pay a license tax, while his
neighbor's cat has been allowed to expand
It's tail on the woodshed roof in costless
liberty. The rank injustice Of this discrimi-
nation has been apparent to every catless
dog owner. In the name Of kindness a bill
has been introduced in the Massachusetts
legislature which provides for license on
cats the tax being 80 cents each. 1t au-
thorizes mayors and selectmen to kill all
unlicensed felines. In order to win the sup
port of the lovers Of the cat 1t is pretended
that there are many starving and boy-tor-
tured stray cats which it would be a mercy
there IS little doubt that 1t Is the long
Indignant dog owners who have devised
this scheme of Justice
Dogs are taxed partly as means OF
revenue, but chiefly to get rid OF stray ours.
1t is urged that dogs are a nuisance on
many accounts noisy at night and dan
ger in the alleged mad dog season. In the
city they are held to be entirely useless
If dog be worth his bones a guardian
of the home he will be a menace to the
legs Of the letter carrier and to children.
The amiable dog which wags his tail when
the delivery boy comes will welcome a
tramp or a burglar as dear friend. Cats,
however. are not less noisy and dangerous
than dogs but the reverse. Their midnight
imitation of baby with collie creates an
epidemic OF insomnia, and they are as
liable as dogs to rabies. They are vastly
more dangerous as carriers Of disease
germs. They lack the affection and fidelity
Of the dog. In short, every argument in
favor of dog license Is fully as strong in
favor OF cat license.
