For Stokes to Answer.
From the Paterson Guardian.

From the Paterson Guardian.l
Now that Edward c. Stokes has taken
the stump the Guardian thinks it may
reasonably expect of him an answer to this
question Whether as Senator he did not
accept from the State salary at the rate Of
So, 600 per annum for services as deputy
clerk of the supreme court, at the same
time he was serving the State as Senator
from Cumberland county, thereby violating
both the letter and the spirit of the constl-
and obey
II he did so, is he sorry for it now, or is
he proud of it as notable achievement
which may win him support of all petty
grafters of the State
The Guardian would also ask Edward c..
Stokes in the event that he should be
elected Governor of the State, what action
he would take on the proposed abandon
ment of the Morris canal for the benefit Of
the Public Service corporation, the East
Jersey Water company and other private
corporations
Is it true that he has already committed
himself in favor of an abandonment bill,
aud that an understanding has been reached
with Major Lentz and the McCarters that
it shall be passed during Stokes term,
without veto from him
II the Republican candidate for Governor
expects to receive the normal Republican
vote up this way, he must answer these
questions satisfactorily, else his appearance
hereabouts upon the stump will be of no
avail.
North Jersey is interested in the Morris
canal and opposed to its abandonment along
the lines proposed. Public sentiment here
is wrought up about grating by public
officials, and the voters are not taking
kindly to any gubernatorial candidate who
cannot clear his garments of the smell of
contact with what does not properly belong
to him.
We know what kind of Governor we
want. Little Ed. Stokes must prove that
he measures up to the moral standard if he
expects plurality in Passaic.

In his speech at Englewood, Congress
man Hughes, of Paterson, made this ten
strike argument =
1t matters not whether you be Demo-
crat or Republican, we appeal TO you this
time as Jersymen, for the honor of the
State The name of New Jersey under
present rule has become by-word among
the other States of the union as the State
which could be relied upon to incorporate
any shady corporation or combination of
doubtful legality.
the State have cried out against the prosti-
tuition of our commonwealth, and in an
swer our opponents have pointed to the
overlooking treasury and called attention to
the fact that their administration was in
thorough accord with the most important
principle of latter-day politics it
paid.
In this campaign we are in position
to meet them on that ground. We offer
the people of the State system of taxation
that pays and pays them. (Applause).
l presume you know that it is pretty
generally accepted fact that the Pennsyl
yania railroad governs this State. If you
doubt this, ask some influential friend on
the other side of the house and see if he
does not admit the soft impeachment. He
will probably tell you, as one of them did
me the other day, that it is true, and he
thought they had made a pretty good job
of it.
"They certainly have, so far as the Penn
sylvania railroad is concerned But even
if the Pennsylvania were all that could be
desired from the standpoint of the people
of the State, | do not, and / don't believe
any right-thinking person wants to be
governed by any person or corporation ex-
cept their own lawfully elected representa-
tives. Reckless of consequences, in def
ance of the people, the railroads have
selected one of their trusted leaders to bear
their standard
In their platform they admit they have
been robbins you for years but promise, if
given another chance, that they will only
rob you half as much as they nave been
doing.
"It is up to the people of the State to
say whether they want continuation and
an extension of the present railroad domln-
alton in the affairs of this State. and
whether they want the laws fairly admin
istered and the expenses properly appor-
toned among all classes alike In short,
shall the railroads rule through Stokes or
shall the people rule through Charles G.

CHAPTER xxx.
THE SACRIFICE.

There was sometimes practiced
among the Iroquois game which bore
a certain resemblance to the casting
of dice, as the latter is known among
civilized peoples. The method of tho
play was simple. Two oblong polished
bonts, of the bigness of a mans finger,
were used as the dice The ends of
these were ground thin and were rude
ly polished. One Of the dico was
stained red, the other left white. The
players in the game marked out line
on the hard ground, and then each in
turn cast up the two dice into the air,
throwing them rom some receptacle.
The game was determined by the fall
ing of the red bone, he who cast this
colored bone closer to the line upon
the ground being declared the winner.
The game was simple, and depended
much upon chance. If the red die fell
fiat upon its face at a point near to
the line, it was apt to lie close to the
spot where 1t dropped. On the other
hand, did it alight upon either end, It
might bound back and fall at some lit
tie distance upon one side Of the line.
1t was this game which, In horribla

A SPANISH HERO.
Waved Signal to Hi. Comrades
In Spite of American
Shot and She'll.

Valiant and venturesome were the
American soldiers in the Spanish war
and valiant, too were the Spaniards.
1t rejoiced Col. Greene, of the signal
corps, to tell the story of gallant
Spanish flagman which Gen. A. w.
Greeley repeats in his article in the
Century Magazine on the United States
signal corps in war time.
AT Ell Caney the Spaniards occupied
the graceful stone fort of Ell Viso. 1t
was the key to the situation on their
left, and they built telephone line
from Santiago to the fort, which they
equipped as a signal station.
On July l the American attack be-
gan at six in the morning, and our
left, pushing forward to cut off the enc
my's line of communications, occupied
the highroad to Santiago about eight
O'Clock. Espying the telegraph wire
that bound together Ell Caney and San
tiago, the American soldiers, obediem
to military instincts, promptly cut it.
But the beleaguered fort was no
more cut off from communication with
Santiago than was Corse at Allatoona
from Sherman at Kenesaw mountain,
In a few minutes Spanish flagmen
appeared on the commanding summit,
of Ell Viso and began signaling to San
tiago.
His figure showed sharp and clear
against the morning sky, within rife
range of 1000 keen-eyed Americans
who were pouring fire into Ell viso
At intervals the deep notes of Capron' .
battery roared over the shrill music o.
the bullets.
Indifferent to shot and shell, tho
Spaniard rhythmically waved his signal
flag to and fro until he had sent his
message. In telling the story Col,
Green added: How long the flas
waved or what it said | do not know
but as no signal flag was reported
among the trophies at FL Caney, hope
that he escaped. Here's to him il
alive! If not, peace to his manes!"

Thibet. the strange Land.

1t is a wonderful country and 6
strange people. Think of tract OF
land where hot springs abound, rouIG
which are deposits of such rainbow
tints as blue, purple, green, red and
yellow. 1t is easy to imagine that tho
landscape effects of such coloring are
wondrous. The social customs of the
people are scarcely less astounding.
Poly gamy is common where the men
are rich enough, for wives seem to be
question of wealth. When poverty
compels them several men will have
one wife in common. Brothers usually
enter. into those strange partnerships
The people rarely wash, finding II
warmer to be dirty. The men anoinf

rising of the sun seemed to bring con-

whose head was faced toward the cat
aract. There were those who bore
strings of beads and strips of fur, even
the priced treasures of the tufted scalp
locks, whose tresses, combed smooth,
were adorned with colored cloth and
feathers.
Pierre Noir was silent; yet, as the
captives looked, they needed no advice
that the sacriicial procession was now
forming.
"They said" began Pierre Noir, at
length, with trembling voice, turning
his eyes as he spoke, "that it could
not be myself, that it must be one of
you. and but one. They are going to
cast lots for it. 1t is Teganisoris who
has proposed that the lots shall be
thrown by" Pierre Noir faltered,
unwilling to go on.
"And by whom?" asked Law, quietly.
"By-by the woman-by madame!"

but when he looked upon the sliding
floor of waters below him, and heard
beyond the thunderous voices of the
cataract, Pembroke knew what was to
be his final portion.
There was, at some distance above
the great falls, a spot where descent
was possible to the edge of the water.
Pembroke's feet We're loosened and he
was compelled to descend the narrow
path. A canoe was tethered at the
shore, and the face of the young En-
lishman went pale as he realized what

again hand and foot, helpless, he was
cast into the canoe. A strong arm sent
the tiny craft out toward midstream.
The hands of the great waters
grasped the frail cockleshell, twisted it
about, tossed it, played with it, and
claimed it irrevocably for their own.
For few moments it was visible as
it passed on down with the resistless

at the verge of the plunge, the eyes
