all this, and thought he found it in
his new relation as an employer of
labor. At first he had told himself
that he would be a silent partner in
the iron works, leaving all the activi-
ties to the practical Raymer; but he
soon found this blankly impossible.
And with personal interest and the
shifting point of view came change.
gradual and almost insensible, in his
attitude toward mankind in general
and toward the workers in particu-
lar. So it came about that while he
was writing book. designed to over
turn the existing social order, he
was drifting slowly but surely into
the ranks of the oppressors.
The first open confession of this
change of creed came when the
threat of a strike rose storm-cloud
like on the iron works horizon. Ray
mer was for temporizing with the
men, and for yielding something if
need be; but this Griswold fought
stoutly. growing more stubborn as
the threatening cloud increased in
size. If the men could not see for
themselves what was for their best
interests, they must be made to see.

Conscience
BY FRANCIS LYNDE.

CHAPTER XIX.-CoNrrNUEp.

CHAPTER XIX.-CoNTNUED
Griffin strolled listlessly with the
crowd. and presently found himself
in front of the new playhouse. i:
was early. but the "frst-nighters"
were already thronging the vestibule.
Now it CHANGED that in stepping
back out of the sidewalk throng he
got in the way of the carriage con-
tingent, and moment later voice
at his elbow said:
Excuse me; will you let the ladies
alight?"
Griffin gave place, and saw a young
man with a clean-cut, eager face
hand two young women from the
carriage. They were followed by an
elderly gentleman with eyeglasses:
and on the sidewalk the group fell
into pairs. Griffin could not well
help hearing the colloquy.
II think the others will be here in
q few minutes. doctor. Shall we wait
and go in with them?"
Thus spoke the young man with
the clean-cut face; and at the older
mans negative he spoke again.

There is one grain of comfort in it

she will tell me the truth. BY Jove!
but that young lawyer. or whatever
he is. has an eye for good looks. I've
never seen her equal in all my ups
and downs, and that's saying a good
deal"
So he went his way to the St
James and presently to bed. without
so much as suspecting that he had
actually touched elbows with the
man whose identity he was vainly
trying to establish.

CHAPTER yXJ

AS Raymer had foretold Griswold's
initial visit to the Grierson mansion
on the lakes edge was but the be-
ginning of an acquaintance which
soon ripened into intimacy with the
daughter of the house. >For one
thing, Griswold was always sure of
his welcome at Mereside; and. for
another. he was beginning to find
the atmosphere of Margery's sitting
room the one environment where the
remaking of the book could 60 on.
and that Margery herself was the
one person with whom he could dis
cuss it with helpful freedom.
Do what he might he could not
bring himself to the point of TAX
ing Charlotte into his confidence in
the matter of the book. Though it
was wholly underlined in his own
mind. the barrier was the one which
had been builded on the voyage up
the river. The more he saw of Char
lotte, and the more his love for her
grew and throve, the less possible
it became to look forward to a day
when he might hope to tell her all
with a fair probability of winning
her approval of the thing he had
done.
But with Margery no such difficult
ty existed. Her sympathy was al
ways quick and intuitive, and she
seemed to have the gift of saying in
stinctively the thing he craved most;
the thing he might have suggested if
she were not always beforehand with
him. He was not so besotted as to
believe that he had discovered in her
that other half of the artists always
incomplete circle; the one person in
the world who can fully understand
him. On the contrary, in his So
berer moments he thought he knew
her for what she was. But these dis
illusions grew less frequent as visits
to Mereside became more frequent.
and in time they began to disappear
altogether. For Mistress Margery
was wise in her generation, knowing
many things well and the heart of
man better than any.
But about the book, which was to
settle once for all the vexed cues.
ton of the rights of man, thew did
not always agree. AS first conceived.
the story was merely vehicle load
ed to overlooking with the socialistic
protests of it's author. But in the
rewriting n new plot had been sub
stituted; suggested. nay, even out
lined. by Mistress Margery herself;
and on the keel thus laid the VEN
ture built itself into something more
like a novel and less like a preach
ment. Griswold saw the growth of
it under his hand; saw the far-reach-
ing possibilities of it; saw also that
it was departing, despite his most
strenuous efforts, from the course
which he had pricked out on the
chart of the former endeavor In
other words, the new book babe fair
to grow into something which the
publishers might accept and the pub
lie might buy and read, but of the
rights of man there was coming to
be less and less as the work pro-
crossed.
Being first of all an enthusiast.

alternative was a strike.

It was the early morning of flaw

Care of Public Places.

In the struggle between the Lily Whites and the referees, the little park belonging to the government, adjoining the government building, has been sadly neglected. For the first time since 1t became a government reservation no one has sown it with grass seed, no one has tended 1t and lawn-mowed it, or fertilized it, and in this fine germinating weather it is bare and brown, crossed and recrossed with paths trodden by big and thought less feet. Scraps of paper and odd articles decorate 1t, and pair of goats arc consuming even it's top layer of dirt. Once so green and grassy, de- light to the eye and the poetic soul, it Is now but a bleak spot in the city's heart, despised and trod upon and neg lected.
 Is this the way the referees look after matters and things in general? Is this significant of what they would do if the state were handed over to them? If one, it Is said, Is careless in little things, he will be careless in big things, but there is somo consolation in the fact that big Alabama will not be turned over to the referees today.
 It certainly will not be turned over to them until they set things right in our government park. They may ex- claim with Hamlet-O cursed spite, that ever we were born t. set it right, but they cannot escape their moral re- sponsibility. They cannot put such neglect on, their creatures in office, Tor are not the referees the whole thing! Thy are indeed, and The Age-Herald looks to them to set things right in our little government reservation.

vANDAL RoBs CHURCH ALTAR.
Service at Church of Immaculate Con
 ception Stolen By Thief.

Cedar Rapids, la. May 12-It was with a touch of pity in his voice Lat the Very Rev Father Gum of the Church of the Immaculate Conception announced that vandal bands had violated the sacredness of the church and stolen the silver and gold service from the altar.
 The discovery was made early In the week that some sacrileglous person. who irrespected the religion of others and had none of his own. had wantonly car ried away the riches of the altar con- secrated to God after he had created a nuisance in the church. Father Gum saw this piece of ruthless knavery with astonis l eyes, ;nd his heart was all most broken at the discover of mean ness in man which he had hardly beliey- ed. He reported the matter to the police. and ever since they have been working on the matter, but as yet no arrests have been made.
 the matter was hushed up as much as possible with the hope that person who was suspected cou'' be apprehendec be- fore he left the city. J yeyer, he was not arrested, and when mass was held and the altar service was missing. 1t be- came necessary for the reverend father to maSe ome explanation to his congre- gation, and, accordingly with a trem- bling voice. he told of the awful crime which had robbed his church of its rellg- fous appurtenances.

Victory of the Referees.

The Lily Whites have surrendered to the referees, bag and baggage. Dele gates are to be apportioned on the basis of the Mckinley and Roosevelt vote of 1900, and all qualified voters, white, black brown or betwixt and be- tween are invited "to participate in the conventions and deliberations of our party in the future" Not content with this upsetting of the Lily White carr, Postmaster Lunsford of Florence of- fered resolution highly compliment ary to Theodore Roosevelt, and endors- ing his administration. This resolution went through with bells on.
 The standardization were, in short, routed, horse, foot and dragons. in their own carefully selected commit tee. The really decisive action over motion to adjourn before the resolu- tions offered had been considered-a motion made by ex-District Attorney Vaughn-showed that the state execu- tive committee now contains 20 who sustain the referees and IA who are true and loyal Lily Whites. Thus has patronage crushed out idealism. The idealists arc vanquished, and all the color line that Is left is that drawn by the new constitution of Alabama, which is non persona grata, so to speak, at Washington.
 The Lily Whites are no more. They met Public Patronage in the middle of tho road, and they were shunted by it out of place and power. They are now back numbers in the republican party, but the doors of the democratic party swing wide open, and that Is about where they will bring up. There will still be enough whites left in the republican party to fill the federal offices, and that Is about all the ref erees desire.

THE MATTER WITH KENTUCKY.
, Kansas Clty World.

From the Kansas City World.
 According to list in the possession of a citizen of Jackson, Ky. MT. Marcum, one of the leading lawyers of the state, who was openly shot down recently, was the thirty eighth victim killed in feuds in Breathitt county during the last eight months
 What's the matter with Kentucky?
 Although everybody in the county knows who did this shooting, nobody is arrested. nobody is indicted, nobody Is punished.
 The officers of the law fear to bring the slayer to justice. They. as we'll as the citizens, are In terror The fear of the vengeance of the feudists is upon them.
 Whats the matter with Kentucky?
 One thing respecting the feuds Is not able. The killings are cowardly assassi- nations There Is no touch of fairness about them. Men do not fight each other face to face. They lie in wait, shooting from ambush. Shots come more frequent ly from behind than from any other direc- tion. The Indians who once inhabited

Freedom of Speech in Danger.

The expected has happened. Gov ernor Pennypacker of Pennsylvania, n creature of entrenched republication, has signed the anti-cartoon bill, and every self-respecting cartoonist should leave the state, turning it over to the bunglers and time-servers of their craft. Under the Grady-Salus bill, which Governor Pennypacker has de- liberately made law, in accordance with the orders of the bosses and pluto crats of the sleepy state, no man can tt e2-active or good work. He must in no case offend the ruling classes" fer if he does the bill authorizes the members of that class to claim and really to secure-for they control the jury lists-any amount of damages lney may desire.
 Governor Pennypacker in the course of his long official apology, gives one feature of the conspiracy entirely away when he says:
 "A cartoon in a daily journal of May 2 defines the question with entire precision. An ugly little dwarf representing the governor of the commonwealth stands on crude stool. The stool is subordinate 10 and placed alongside huge printing press with wheels as large as those of an OK team, and all are so arranged as 10 give the idea that when the press starts the stool and its occupant will be thrown to the ground.
 Put into words, the cartoon asserts to he world that the press is above the aw and of greater strength than the government. No self-respecting people gili permit such an attitude to be long maintained. In England century ago he offender would have been drawn and Iuartered and his head stuck upon a ,pike at the gates. In America today his is the kind of arrogance which goeth before . fall"
 This is queer logic. This says in Sc many words that the American voter incapable of judging between the alse and the true, between the just md the unjust, and that he needs a

The Cigarette In Spain.
A. Hart in the Argonaut.

Jerome A. Hart in the Argonaut.
 People smoke necessarily under all conditions at all hours and in all places excepting in church. Men smoke in the railway carriages; they smoke In all the tram cars; they smoke In all the minor theaters; they smoke in all the restau- rants, in the hotel dining rooms, and of course, in the cafes. In business offices the merchant and his clerks smoke. In shops the shopman, while trying to sell goods to a lady, will stop to roll cigar ette, which, when lighted, he will puff In her face.
 You see conductors and drivers of tram- cars smoking. All the hackney cabmen smoke all the time, while even coachmen and footmen of private carriages some times smoke on the box. l have seen priests smoking as they crossed the ca thedral yard to begin service, and l have seen altar boys standing in their surplices at the cathedral door, between responses, to smoke a cigarette. Beggars approach you, cigarette in mouth, to whine for aims. If you ask for tickets at a rail- way office the clerk lays down his cigar ette as he hands you the dingy bit of pasteboard. The innumerable peddlers all smoke cigarettes all the time.
 I have seen no women of the better class smoking cigarettes in public; they may smoke, but if so l suppose they do 1t at home. The lower class women, in- cluding the gypsy women, smoke freely on the streets.
 If the cigarette habit Is universal in Spain so are its sequelae. On every hand you hear the deep, hacking, pulmonic cigarette cough. Tuberculosis Is rife in Spain, and while the doctors say (but what will not the doctors say2 that ex- cessive tobacco, qua tobacco, has nothing to do with tuberculosis, they admit that excessive tobacco bring about a condi- tien of diathesis constituting a favorable indus for the growth of the bacillus of tuberculosis"
 Query: Can there be any connection between the marked degeneration of Spain and the abuse of tobacco in Spain?

Democratic Timber.

While I can appreciate the fact that politics are very uncertain I think it is a safe bet that Senator German will be the nominee of the democratic party next year." remarked an old voter.
 Available Presidential timber is scarce in the democratic party, but not in my day have we had a more popular or an abler leader than German. All the other so-called available men in the party put together would not make candidate anything like so acceptable to the people as the Maryland senator. I have long been an admirer of Mr. Cleveland and have voted for him three times, but he is not candidate for 1904. He will be great ly in evidence until the convention meets and many of his friends will re- gard him as a candidate, but am cer- tain that Cleveland has no idea of being the standard bearer. German is the man."
