CHAPTER XIV.
Kate for Harmony


Morning dawned amid a raging
snowstorm, but thanks to the logs and
frozen mud with which the little cabin
had been daubed, the patient was
comfortable.
Kate brought some warm broth and
gave him few spoonfus, and he
whispered:

Paul acquiesced in her plan by sim
ply nodding his head and closing his
eyes, and she resumed her work.
When he awoke there was a marked
change In his manner. and he was re-
gaining his strength. She brought
him, some more broth, and. after he
had taken a few spoonfuls, he said:
Did you say you came from Seat
tle?"
"Yes."
"Who brought me here7'
at was the boss OF the train that's
goin' to the Klondyke. reckon he'll
be hero after awhile an then ye can
see him yourself. I don't think ye
ought to talk too much"
"Yes-I ought not. They struck
me on the head"
he shut his eyes and tried to
sleep and she went to the door Of the
little cabin. All was clear. She saw
one of the Indians lettering near and
called to him and ordered him to go
to the next camp and ascertain what
had detained the dog sled.

The Tariff Issue.

WHO is Tariff and why is he for revenue
onlyp" Nast's greatest contribution to the
campaien of 1880 represented General Han
cock. the democratic candidate for the
presidency, as in brown study propound-
ing this inquiry. He had a few weeks be-
fore declared that the tariff was local
question and this at the time added to the
effectiveness of Nasts cartoon. The coun-
try laughed heartily, and seemed to think
that the quiz went very properly with an
old soldier taking his first lessons in poll
tics.
General Hancock, as we know. was de-
feated but not because of his attitude on
the tariff question. In September OF that
year the greenbackerS of Maine, assisted
by the democrats, carried Maine in the
state race. and that gave the business in
terests all over the country shock. East
and west the effect was felt. and the re-
publcans began to pluck up courage. Up
to that time they had been in deeply de-
pressed spirits. General Grant and Mr..
Conklin. ook the stump, and General Gar
field was ,lected.
The old soldier, as experience since has
shown. spoke words of wisdom. The tariff
is, in very large measure, a local question.
Protection is widely popular. Every sec

the tariff schedules are under revision, no

party. and, to a degree. the ear of the coun-

States There is severe criticism of monop-

their occupation. In their places are men

liams. who talk conservatively on the riff

longer an issue. But freer trade is, and a
great many republicans are eager for it.

A Touch of Weather.

Even if the cold wave forecast by the
weather bureau should reach the extreme
limits expected this part of the country will
have little cause for complaint against the
climate this season. Few other years have
brought so little discomfort. Last winter
was exceptionally mild. and the moderate
temperatures saved thousands of people
from acute misery while the cost of fuel
was high The spring was fine throughout
and the summer was so pleasant that the
resort business suffered seriously from the
indisposition of people to leave their homes.
The autumn has been notable for its long
SUGGESTIONS of beautiful days, It's freedom
from annoying rains and its moderate tenn
perature. There has been up to the present
time little occasion for furnace fires. The
warm. moist airs of the past few days,
however. have been depressing and trying

sual number of affections directly resulting
from the state of the atmosphere. A brisk
infusion of clear. sharp air from the north
west will brace the community up to prop

The Local Postmastership.

Should occasion arise for the selection Of
a new postmaster for the District. as re-
ports suggest to be possible, the first prin-
ciples of home rule. of fair play and of
good government require that he be
Washingtonian. The fact that the incum-
bent is voter In the state of New York,
having been appointed to the assistant
postmaster generalship from that state and
still retaining his citizenship in New York
when transferred to be city postmaster.
does not In the least degree weaken the
Districts claim for consideration now or
at any future time. The principle remains
as 1t was, and no number of departures
from II can lessen the wrong of each fresh
violation.
The Washington postmastership has
often been the goal of political aspirations
and almost invariably when 1t has become
vacant the people of the District have had
to fight for their rights in the premises. If
now the place is to become vacant for any
reason ii is to be hoped that the injustice
OF bestowing Vt upon a man from outside
of the District as a political reward, or a
move in the political game, will not be
repeated.
There are many men in Washington who
would admirably fit the position, men of
ability, integrity ana 1ully representative
of the locality. There is not the slightest
need to go abroad for such talent. Nor
would there be rivalry for the office such
as to embarrass the President in making
his choice. Indeed it is probable that he
would find his selection of a local man at
tended by fewer difficulties and annoyances
than his choice from among the candidates
from the states. each doomed by his own
particular political sponsor and each In
volving some special complication.
Many Washingtonians of sufficient ad-
ministrative capacity whose names readily
suggest themselves would doubtless prefer
to remain in private life. feeling that &C
ceptance of such an office would be a sac
rif1ce. Yet there IS probably not one who
would not contribute to the local welfare
even at a personal disadvantage If by &C
ceptance he could for the present re-es-
tablish the home-rule principle. 1t must be
borne in mind. too, that the republican
party stands pledged to that doctrine
which is applied to post offices In every
other part of the country without question
or hesitation.

MI. Teller's New Assignment.

Mr.. Teller denies the story that he re-
tired from the Senate finance committee to
make place for Mr.. German. Whatever the
reason. the change would appear to be jus
titled. The democratic party has turned
from the financial views Mr.. Teller repre-
sents. and, passivey at least. accepted
those Mr.. German represents. The Mary
land senator therefore is the man for the
post. He will support no policy, cast no
vote. in the interests of the free coinage of
silver. but will keep In touch with the gold
standard and all that it represents. In
going to the judiciary committee Mr.. Teller
gives his party the benefit of his services
where they will be valuable, and where he
is not likely to be embarrassed. He is a
lawyer of distinction, and many questions
OF prime Importance will appeal to his in
terest and occupy his time at the new able
where he now takes a seat. The arrange
ment is neat all round, and looks a little
like another notch on the democracy's har-
stick

Finger Marks.

s'Pud' nhead Wilson is amply justified.
Two months ago professional thieves robbed
a London jeweer of s60e90 worth of valu-
ables They did their job so neatly that the
police were baffied. Apparently not a clue
was to be found The missing jeweiry was
not offered for sale, and the Scotland Yard
geniuses were seemingly defeated But
some Captain Bedford of the profession
CHANGED to note that the thieves In ran
sacking the premises. had used candle
Illuminated by a theory. he examined the
tallow under microscope and found on 1T
faint impressions of finger prints, where
the candle had been softened by the heat
of the hand. These marks were photo
graphed and magnifed and compared with
the finger-print records which constitute at
present the chief reliance of the detective
authorities. They were found to resemble
the marks recorded of well-known thief.
and after a little hunting the man and his
confederates were located and they have
just been arrested. So the system scores
again. But it may be imagined that here
after shrewd thieves. in lighting their way
to booty, will eschew candles. or. If forced
to use Them will wear gloves.
