But toward Cuthbert Bracken there
seemed to prevail a pronounced and
resolute antipathy. But for him she
would be with them now, and from my
lady down to Baby they all missed her
sadly-missed the light step, the soft,
sweet voice; the ready and gentle
kindness OF act and speech; the
bright, rare smile; the delicate, flower
like, patrician face!
What that day, with all it's tender,
maddenng memories, was to my lady,
they never knew. Her powerful will
was weakened, indeed, but an ember
remained which glowed to life at the
breath OF pride.
And, at last, night fell over Black
castle, in triple pail Of silence, shad-
ow and slumber.
Twelve! one! called the clock.
Hark! What was that sound? It
could not be-and yet-listen!
"Fire!"
1t is-it is! There upsprings again
the frantic cry.
Every soul was awake, alert, up like
q flash. flinging on this or that gar
ment, questioning, shouting, crying in
wild and terrified excitement.
They surged out into the night, still
in that fierce, painting confusion. one
word seething, quivering, leaping
from lip to lip, that one word:
"Fire" f!
where is it?" some one cried
where Is it?"
And Cyril Carringtcn's strong voice
rang out above the hoarse Babel:

"Cynthia!" he whispered. ooh. my
darling!"
The room was fast filling with
thick, choking smoke. He wound his
arms around his lifeless burden and
dashed toward the door.
What to him was the man. whoever

Down the stairs, into the dining
room below he hurried. He laid her on
| lounge, and striding to the sideboard
seized decanter of brandy. He
poured some into silver cup and held
it to her lips.

'You forget" she said, with sudden

She took his arm for support and
with feeble, resolute footsteps, passed
out of the room, through the hall. down

There is the end. He left the postoffice

under pressure. It is a sad case and
demonstrates the fact that public men

Heath. He had youth, brilliant talent,
handsome presence, large experience
and troops of friends to help him on
1t appeared to d mere locker on in vi
emma that he would rise to the highest
places and establish great-perhaps
an enduring reputation. Many of his
friends, personal and political, hoped
SO. so hoped, for to me he was al
ways courteous. But some sort of
blight fell upon this young man whom
many loved and many envied. Wheth-
err he did wrong himself or suffered
from being in bad company, like Old
Dog Tray, may never be-perhaps will
never be-known except to a few, but
that his appointment as assistant post
master general, which he considered
a great honor and a long step upward,
was the means of his undoing there
can be no question. BY the method
by which they have conducted affairs
touching the postoffiee department the
Republican leaders have managed to
put under suspicion almost every per-
son connected with that department.
That there are many honest and hon
orable men and women in that depart
ment as in all the others, know, and
I am glad to know it, but that corruption
exists is also true. Where there is SO
much smoke there must be some fire.
So the people believe. and when the
Republican majority in congress re-
fused to order an investigation into the
rottenness, but hurried up the adjourn
ment to prevent an investigation, the
people concluded. and not unreasonably,
that the reason they turned their backs
and ran away was that they Were
afraid to lift the lid off and let the tax
payers and patriots of the land take a
look at the reeling cesspool of Repub-
ican rottenness.

Cabinet SpeIIbinders.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, a Republic
an paper, jabs certain cabinet officers
who are booked to make campaign
speeches in this racy manner:
A Washington dispatch says that each
cabinet member is to make at least one
campaign speech. The idea seems to be
that these gentlemen are peculiarly quail
fled to sound keynotes.
Well, that depends. The Hon. Philander
G. Knox, the Hon William H. Taft and
the Hon. James Wilson undoubtedly stand
for constructive Republican policies.
They have done things that the people
wanted done in way that proves them
qualified to instruct and guide public
opinion
On the other hand, anything from the
Hon. William Fl. Moody-we judge from
his outgivings in the last great campaign
would probably embarrass rather than
help the party. The Hon. Leslie M. Shaw
might succeed as a eampaigner in New
York circles, where the mere word treas
ury' is one to conjure with, but hardly
hereabouts. And in the light of recent po-
litical history the Hon. Henry G. Payne
could be spared almost everywhere.
Recent experiences in Wisconsin and IL
linois ought to convince those in the seats
of the mighty at Washington that the day
has passed when any man is considered
a political prophet and guide merely be-
cause he holds large title at the capital.
Here in the west we have every respect
for high office, but we have learned that
it's possession does not guarantee political
wisdom.
Some members of the cabinet undoubt-
edly can do their party and the country
good service on the stump, but others
would be so likely to sound keynotes that
the people do not care to sing to that
they might much better stay in Washing
ton and attend to their high duties.

"The Iowa Idea"

Lately General Charles Henry Gros-
yenor of Athens, O., and myself have
been indulging in the luxury Of de-
bate before the Hawkeye Chautauquas
on political subjects. | found the Re
publicans of that state very much split
up the back on the tariff question.
For instance. Hon. George d. Per
kins, ex-Republican member of con-
gress. says in his paper, the Sioux City
Journal:
There is widespread opinion that condi-
tons have so changed during the last sew
en- years as to render changes in the ex-E
listing tariff law proper and expedient.
Contrary contention amounts to denial of
the development which is the boast of the
whole country.
The Republican party ought to be free
to make such changes in tariff rates as
time and experience establish as expe-
dent and wise Being free to do SO,
whatever combination may advise to the
contrary, the party should assert its in
dependence and give its pledge. The
pledge to the Democratic party is not re-
quired; the pledge to the country is who'll
" justifiable and within reason.
One rural Iowa weekly Republican
paper which supported the stand pat
tiers before the convention now de
clares that the platform lis destined
to stand as a monument to the selfish
arrogance of its makers and sponsors"
and that it was born in ignoble ha
tired, nurtured at the breast of malice
and fathered by a set of men inca
pable of rising mentally above the
stature of children.
Another, the Scranton Journal, de-
nominated the platform as stand
patism gone to seed" and says that
the convention "has the distinction Of
being the only body of Republicans to

its unspeakable traffic in girls by the
municipal authorities of almost all our
cities.
We declare ourselves in favor of recog-

frage should depend upon the mental and
moral qualifications of the citizens.
We declare ourselves in favor of such
changes in our saws as will place tariff
