CHAPTER XT.

"Massa Godfrey" Gabriel called cautiously through the keyhole, Tho am done gone. Good-by, young massa. Gswd bless you. sah.'' The darky's voice was a sob.
 Godfrey opened the door and issued forth "Good-by, old boy" he said, ''good-by." The white and the black hands clasped, and the negro, the tears rolling down his cheeks, stumbled blindly towards the stairs.
 Godfrey turned back into the room and, seating himself upon the chest beside the diminishing candle, awaited the coming of the death guard. Little did he surmise that all this time Jane had been in the tree outside the entry window, where she could see what went on, and while she could not hear what was said, for the tones were too low and her distance too great, she could not fail to understand the meaning of the pantoTnime.
 Was there no way left to save him Could she think of no other plan? |? Why was she given brain at all if it would not serve her in such ex- tremity? Suppose that tomorrow that an hour hence, when too late, some plan would come to her by which she might have saved him? She could not bear it! She raised her eyes to the jewelled sky. ''Oh God, !" she prayed, take away from me all power for future thinking, but con- centrate in me now, for this one in stapt, the power to think to some avail"
 AS though in answer to her prayer g, thought did come to her. Working her way down cautiously from the topmost branches where she had clung to the wider limbs below, whose leaves played within her open window, she waited until the sentry beneath had gone to the other end of his beat, and then swung herself to her window-ledge.
 It was an old. old trick, one she Bad played dozens of times in her childhood and girlhood. Often she and Edward had gone through that performance when they were chill dren, and one or the other of them was incarcerated in the garret for some misdemeanor.

BIRTH OF the ISSUE.

The Hon. ST Donnelly, Chief of
the Idaho Democracy, together with
a goodly few ex-Bryantic aurora
borealises, recently held a "he1l-fire-
stew" orgie in the grill room of a
Spokane hotel. Hell fre-stew,"
is not profane language, but the
name Of a genteel concoction of
beef, onions. garlic, red pepper and
tobasco sauce, very soothing to the
bowels and inspiring to the patriot
ism of responsible Democratic states
men, living in northern Idaho.
"Orgie," is here used in its strictly,
classical sense, andaurora borealises,

as you may know, signifies north
ern lights" This much to show
our learning.
The purpose of the ceremony
according to the Northern Idaho
News, was to give Statesman DON
nelly an opportunity to sound the
death gurgle of IS to I and the
the keynote of the new Democratic
repertory. After disposing of the
remains, the keynote was thumped
vigorously. It is reported that the
honorable chieftain delivered him
self of something like this: "Fel-
low Democrats, we are without
issue. We must have an issue.
We cannot find one ready made, so
must make it. This dish, which !
now set before you, known techni-
cally as the "hell-fre-stew," is sym
oboIical of the condition in which
the Democracy of Idaho finds itself.
We are, gentlemen, literally in a
hell fre-stew. And of what shall
we construct an issue? I perceive
but one material. There are the
Mormons. Let US haste them. 1t
is hoarsely whispered that some of
them actually continue to live with
and support more than one wife.
My whole moral nature, which l
leave in the messbox in my cabin
when I come to Spokane, revolts
against that thing. Its existence
is blot upon the fair name of Ida
no. 1t degrades women. beastial-
ICES men and poisons the sacred
atmosphere of home. Let US erase,
eradicate, uproot and bury the I'm
holy practice. Anti-Mormonism
and Anti-Smoot, these shall be the
battle cry and the war whoop.
They will catch the ear and tickle
the fancy of all religious classes
outside of Mormonism. They will
give US q moral flavor that we es-
pecially stand in need of. Remem-
Der the moral flavor, my friends,
you cannot ovar-estimate it. See
what the moral flavor did for Jim
Hawley in the Boise City election.
The moral flavor is the lode stone
that attracts ministerial associations,
mother congresses, village improve
ment societies, free library mission"
aries, female elevation clubs, finch
parties, municipal purity leagues,
mugwumps, sapheads, publicans
and pe1icans of every degree and
condition" And so the issue was
born from the fumes of the hell-6re-
stew.

TURNER AND THE BOUNTY.

State Auditor Turner is reported
to have taken the position that he
will not draw a single warrant in
payment of sugar bounty unless. by
decree of the supreme court, he is
obliged to. If Mr.. Turner has
really announced that determination,
he ought to stay with it unto the
very end, right or wrong. Whether
the giving of bounties is good pub
lie policy is not, we apprehend, the
present question with the State
Auditor. He probably takes the
position that the granting of a
bounty is in conflict with the pro-
vision of the State Constitution
which prohibits the appropriation
of public money for the benefit of
private enterprise. It is eminently
proper thatthe supreme court should
determine whether the bounty law
does or does not come within the
constitutional inhibition.
The "get rich quick" infatuation,
which in older communities mani
tests itself in dishonest manipulation
ofstocks and bonds, "gold bricks"
AMI green goods" here, in the
west, is thinly disguised under the
unctuous euphemy, development
of our magnificent and unparalleled
natural resources.
If the rivers of the State are to be
monopolized as the cheapest way of
exploiting timber lands, why, don't
you see, that is development of our
natural resources on grand and
imposing scale, and the legislature,
natural resource, too, passes the
bill. Is it the grabbing of million
acres of land, via water ditch? that,
clearly comes under the benevolent
head of development of natural re-
sources, and he who dares question
it is a traitor to the State. Does a
Federal statute interfere with the
grab? the State legislature is at
hand to set it aside in order that no
obstacle shall be placed in the way
OF development of Our magnificent
natural resources.
In the mad, grasping race, the
webbing of posterity is rnthlessly
ignored, the future is mortgaged
for generations, constitutions, laws
and commonsense trampled under
foot.
State Auditor Turner has per-
ceived this trend and the danger it
threatens. AS high public officer,
he takes the ground that this rage
for development OF natural resources
shall not, if he can prevent it, over
ride the State constitution. He be-
lieves that the sugar bounty law is
in violation of the constitution,
and, in order to have the point
settled, refuses to issue warrants
in payment of bounty. The
question of what is good policy
as effecting development of nat
ural resources is not involved in
Mr.. Turner'S contention. He sim
ply and rightly holds, that any leg
islation violative of the fundamental
law is essentially bad as tending to
undermine popular government.
Mr.. Turner's position is wholesome,
and in refreshing contrast to the
prevalent attitude on such questions.
The majority of the people may be
favorable to bounty, bounty may be
good, but if the people, through
their constitution, have said that
bounty shall not be paid, then it
should not be paid while that con-
stitution stands, no matter what
the State legislature may have
promised.

Finds an Easy Mark.

August Affeldt has been up against
a lightning rod swindle and wants to
advertise the swindlers in order that
others may be on their guard. Last
week smooth fellow came along and
offered to put rods on August's barn
free of charge, and would charge for
nothing but the points. He was to
take out the work in board. August
signed contract and next day along
came some fellows and put up the rods.
When they got through the contract
was sprung on him and he was COM
PEELED to dig up $3.50 on account there
of. The price was 75c per foot for all
the points, but the number of feet
which figured up was caution. In
order that they be given an opportuni-
ty to work others, the first man in
sisted that Mr.. Atfeldt tell no one that
he offered to put the rods for what his
board amounted to. This covered up
his crookedness apparently until he
could work others. Mr.. Affeldt wishes
to notify others over the state to be-
ware of the scheme. Quite number
of well-to-do farmers in Wells county
were duped by these swindlers. They
always pick their men and aim to get
notes which will not have to be dis
counted. Fessenden News.
