VERY MUCH IMPRESSED

FL Reno. o. T, March 21.-Yesterday
well known s. and S. Packing House
company. was in the city on a prospect
ing tour for a location in this vicinity for
a packing plant II is very evident that
in the near future an immense packing
plant will be established within the ter
ritory, and from present indications FL
Reno win be the point. Mr.. McVicars
was the guest OF the Ell Reno Commercial
club yesterday, and during his stay was
entertained at the club rooms. While
here a meeting of the business men was
called and the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed in regard TO the S. and 5. COM
pany establishing a plant here. 1t was
shown to the satisfaction OF Mr.. McVic-
airs that Eli Reno possessed more natural
facilities and conveniences for a packing
jlant than any other city in the territory.
and that in the near future the railroad
ping point this would be far superior Of
any point in the southwest
There is no doubt but what Mr.. Nc
Wears was very favorably impressed with
the city and in all probability he will
make a strong recommendation to his
company that FL Reno is the place they
should select in which to establish pacS
ing plant which will be of great benefit to
the city and materially assist in the for
ward impetus it is now having.
A packing plant, sue has the S. and S.
company would establish here would en-
ploy several hundred men besides max
ing this a market for large percent OF
the live stock Of the southwest. 1t would
mean all kinds of improvements in the
way of shipping facilities and give the
city a good standing as a railroad center.
Everything possible should be done TO
secure such institutions this and the

getting them if the proper support IS

lures at reconciliation.
So Marcia waited, her beauty en-
HANGED and spiritualized by her faith
full love and daily hope.
"He will come back" she said for
the hundredth time.
''Of course he WILL" echoed Stella,
for Rick had been her favorite brother,
and in these latter days she and Mar
cia learned to love each other as Sis
tiers, and jolzingly vowed to live to-
gether as old maids to the end of the
chapter.
Rossiter Kane had met Stella Dysart
in town, likewise Marcia Churchill.
With the former he appeared to be at
once empresse, and it would be hard
to say which of the two girls liked him
best. With Sir Arthur, too, he got
along famously, for his was the happy
faculty of adapting himself, chamele-
on-like, to the surroundings or the per-
son with which or with whom he
happened for the moment to be brought
in contact. He could interest himself
in Sir Arthur's old manuscripts and
early Italian canzonets, although, as
he quietly confessed to Stella, he had
no personal appreciation of their BEAU
ty or their value.
II started too late in life, Miss Dy-
sart,'' he would say, land what
need most is some kind person to take
pity on me, become my mentor, and
lick ME into shape, as we used to say
out West.''
1t needed no oracle to interpret the
inference. Rossiter Kane, had the
nomination been left to him, would
have chosen his mentor then and
there, and the post would have pos
sessed life tenure.
Evidently Kane's time had come at
last, and he was hard hit. He had es-
capped the meshes and the machina-

tons Of managing mammas all through
the season, only to surrender at dis
erection to this motherless girl whose
thoughts were more for her absent
brother than for the chances of pick
ing up a husband.
And, then, of course, she had not
known him very long or very we'll.
But this was a matter that could read
lily be remedied by mastermind, and
Kane took care that Stella Dysart
should have plenty OF chance to be-
come acquainted with him in the two
weeks he spent under the Baronets
roof.
Day after day, alth ough splendid
shot, he would decline to go out with
ing found him at her side in long rides
through the Dorset woods and uplands;
night after night in the drawing-room
he strOve, like 9th clio, to awaken her
interest by recounting strange tales
of adventure by flood and field of
which, it is but fair to say, he was only
occasionally the hero.
Ill.
Stella Dysart was half-won when her
curiosity was excited and her expecta-
ton aroused by the many moods of
this extraordinary man.
From the instant of their first meet
| ing, Rossiter Kane determined to win
| her for his wife. Thenceforward life
| had but one object for him, and if
ever pure and unsullied affection for
a spotless maiden could redeem man
and lift him out of his lurid past, here
was certainly such an occasion.
Akin to every other man born of
woman, Rossiter Kane was a CON-
pound of good and evil, with the evil
predominating at times, not from love
thereof, but from force of circum-
stances.
A modern satirist has registered the
truthful saying that it is easy to be
virtuous on five thousand a year.
Kane the pariah, the outcast, forced
to live by his wits, took life at a vast
ly different viewpoint from Kane the
millionaire. A change of fortune
killed off the weeds, and gave the in
nate and dormant good in his charac-
ter chance to fructify.
If he could only have blotted out
certain cruel memories of stratagems
and spoils his present outlook would
have been serene and full of promise.

TWO srpEs TO IT.

Every question has two sides, and cot ton is not an exception to the rule. For example. The Springfield tMass) Repub- lican says:
 The number of cotton operatives here in New England alone. who have had breaches e iooocC. and the end is not yet. This is how the joyful boom in raw cot ton is working fin its larger aspect.
 The Republican lays the blame for this reduction in the mills on the high price of cotton, but we note in some other New England exchanges the argument that there has been an overproduction of all cotton goods, and that a reduction of the output is made necessary, not merely on account of the high price of raw ma terlal, but that the overplus of stock may be reduced to fit the demand for such goods. There is no doubt in our minds, however, that the high price of cotton is the cause of so many operatives being thrown out.
 This is one side. and the unfortunate one. of the cotton question. The other and bright side is that all over the South there is qualification over the good prices and the consequent addition to the money in circulation. True, the crop is not as large as was anticipated, and in a few sections it is materially short. but fin the main there is more money than common, | and in Alabama, at least, there is more food for man and beast than usual There l are thousands of small farmers through | out the, cotton States who will have more surplus money this year than at any time l in quarter of a century, and this good condition extends also to the tenants of the larger planters. We have heretofore called attention to the accounts from various portions of Alabama of the pros porous condition of negro tenants who 1 have more money to spend than at any previous period. We have no means of comparison at hand, but have no doubt that the, number benefited by high prices very largely exceeds the number of mill operatives who suffer from reduced wages l or lack of employment, and while this | fact does not relieve the latter it shows | that there is more good than bad in the high price for cotton.
 But there is yet another side to the question and on that side lies real menace to the South. Getting an unu- sually high price for cotton and having on hand an unusual supply of food stuffs it is to be apprehended that next season the farmers will be tempted to sacrifice everything for cotton. Then we may have an overproduction of cotton with consequent low prices and an under sup ply of food at higher prices. That will be real misfortune to the South, but it is certainly not without probability. How ever, that is for the future to decide. The fact remains that good prices obtained for the cotton crop has added some mill lions of dollars to the pockets of South | ern farmers. whatever it may have done for other sections. Some go up and some go down. It is our time to be up.

A PorrTrcnL ACCIDENT.

A Republican paper of Nebraska is try ing to relieve It's party of any responsi- bility for United States Senator Deitrich. who is now in trouble on account of certain charges of crookedness. The tical accident; the Republicans of Ne braska are not responsible for him." That plea will not exonerate tho Republicans of his State, for they are responsible for him. He was nominated by acclama- tion by the Republican State convention in 1900 for Governor, and was elected. Then he resigned that office and was elected to the United States Senate by the same party. He was practically an unknown business man before his party took him up and made him Governor. If ever a party was responsible for a man in high position the Republicans are responsible for Dietrich and the attempt to disown him is ungrateful. He may be a political accident, but he did not put himself in power nor did he make himself what he is.
 And there is another political accident" in Washington for whom many Republi- cans would be delighted to disclaim any responsibility, but they cannot do so True. they didn't elect him President, but they put him in line of promotion, and the assassin did the rest. Now, they are sorry for having given him a start, but that will do them no good. He be- longs to their party and he is their work However much some of them may be dissatisfied with him, and however fer vently they wish to be loosed from him and relieved of all responsibility for his acts. they will find that they will be held to account for him as long as they keep him in power. Though he was not pre- cisely "an accident of an accident" as Lord Thurlow expresses it, he Is the re- suit of Republican machinations and Re- publican votes. The party has lately been the victim of a number of accidents some of them worse than Dietrich, but they may as well grin and bear 1t.

POLITICAL POINTS
ave a large matorIty in the (

I have a large majority in the Common Council.
 James Az Gallivan. the Democratic can didate for membership in the Board of Street Commissioners, was also success | full in defeating Isaac B. F. Allen (Rep). | a colored man and formerly member | of the Governors Council. l The city as usual favored licensed liquor | selling by large majority. The election today was notable for the Republican apathy. The vote for the | candidate for Mayor, George N. Swallow, | falling off more than B per cent. from | that given the party candidate two years | ago, while it ran nearly 20 per cent. be- hind the vote Of Governor Bates at tie l State election last month. On the other hand, the Democrats boiled within per cent. of the heavy vote given Mayor Collins two years ago, and ran
 ahead of that thrown for Colonel Gaston
 in the November election. That Mayor Collins was a very popular candidate was shown by the fact that he | carried every ward in the city, even the
 two Republican strongholds, the Back Bay and Dorcester. swinging over into the Democratic column.
 The campaign was one of the most life
 less in the history of the city. The Re- publicans made no effort whatever to
 arouse the voters by rallies, newspa per advertisements and circulars. While there
 was very little speaking on the part of the Democrats, and that only in the in- terest of the numerous Aldermanic can dtdates, the election of Mayor Collins was foregone conclusion from the start, and this was accepted by the leaders of both parties.

A Dead Mans Jest.

<AlldIlld
 The will of the late Cardinal Herrero V f1splnosa, of Madrid, has just been opened ana round to contain most peculiar be- quest. He would have given-poor Car anal Herrero!-the sum of $IU,OOO to the lrst spanish general who shall conquer the united States and aVenge Spain for the loss of the Philippines and Cuba.
 Poor, pathetic Cardinal Herrero!-to recommend funnier thing in solemn earnest than Cervantes, in his irony, ever dreamed of making Don Quixote attempt.
 The $lO,O00 will lie in the bank of Spain until the conquering hero returns, And that will be when
 When Don Alva conquers Holland; when the admiral of the Grand Armada sinks Raleigh's ships and Drake's in the Mar row Seas; when the Fontarabian fast nesses ring again with the blasts of Ro- lands born; when Charles the Fifth, cynical clock-maker, finds time to be- stark in the saddle, shall win another fight after life is done.
 Curious legacy of futile hatred, this of the Cardinais-a misty. posthumous ran cor eXuding from the grave dampS-a pit llul, unconscious jest Of a spirit that must have dreamed 1t dwelt in Toruue- mada's time.
 And yet not a thing to be laughed at any more than are the somber ruins of some crumbling castle pitched upon the hills that overlook Grenada, Weirdly gar rlsoned by the impotent, swaggerlne ghosts of cavaliers who never yet have learned that Spains right arm is shivered to the shoulder-blade. For this pitifLl earnest, posthumous. jest of the dead car dlnal is symbol of Spain and the Span- ish mind.

7 would be the President and not the tool or servant of the politicians. We do not know who this New York man is, or if he is friend to Parker. but he could hardly pay him higher compliment or one more likely to strengthen him with the people. A President who would think that his first duty is to the ''politi- clans and party workers would be no better than the one now in office, and If we can't improve on him we see no use of the trouble and expense of an election. The main ground of offence in the case of MT. Cleveland was that he refused to be used, or to- surrender his own judgment of what was his duty. He was an An drew Jackson in that respect. and the people are beginning to want another like him. We are not booming Judge Parker, but the kind of argument put up by the New York man will not weaken him.
