a dazed state of mind.
1t didn't take long to collect all the
serviceable arms, and when we had
brought them into the saloon there was
still daylight enough to see both the
schooners. The sun had gone down
some time before, indeed, and the gray
tint which so quickly follows sunset in
the tropics was stealing over the wa
ter. but the vessels were even more
clearly visible than they had been in
the glow of the sunset All three had
kept their course. but as the schooners
lay nearer to the wind than the ship
both were closing on us. The breeze,
however. had freshened and the Cru
sader was forging ahead. 1t was evil
dent that the schooner we had sighted
first would cross our course at some
distance behind us. and even the other
would hardly cross our bows as easily
as had supposed when saw her first.
If they were pirates, as Menzies
thought, there was chance of our
running away from them after all.

not catching his meaning at the mo-

"See till that noor' he said, laying
his hand on my arm and pointing to
the foremost vessel. My eyes followed
his hand, and l started. The schooner
was coming up into the wind. Her
black hull was shortening, her big la
teen sails shivering. She was going
about.

claimed, .or els2 you were mistaken,

DISGRACE OF DEMOCRACY.

The, Chicago Chronicle believes that
Il will take longersNor the democratic
party, to live down the disgrace of
Hearst successes In several states than
1t would ever take to, outlive the curse
of Organism. The observation is. in
q measure, a true 'one. The Hearst
candidacy Began upon the corruption
OF leaders. It's only successes have
come from states wherein the demo-
cratic party was so demoralized that
1t had nothing left but corruptibie
leaders So far as the party has been
thus shamed before the American peo-
pie the democracy OF Iowa shares in
It's deepest shame and disgrace. For
years to come the people Of the ma
kion will point the finger of soorn
toward Iowa democracy, but there is
no denying the fact that since the
New York convention and the candi-
dacy of Parker. Hearst has fallen heir
advantage Had there been a candi-
date available for use in rallying OPP
position to the elements of plutocracy
plainly behind the Parker candidacy,
the money OF Hearst could not have
prevailed, even in Iowa. The demo-
cratic delegates who did the shouting
for Hearst were not all tuned to the
golden symbols. The principles of
populism were there with no comprom-
ise for Dave Hill or the Parker can
didacy.
While 1t is true that a single in
stance of purchasable success for a
presidential candidate will long re-
main as a standing disgrace to the
party, there is some doubt as to the
choice of two evils involved in the
candidates. of Hearst and Parker.
The former is not strong man. He
does possess executive ability. how
ever, and should accident make him
president he could be depended upon
to select advisers who would conduct
the government in the interests of the
common people as opposed to the en-
cronchments of organized capital.
Parker. on the other hand, is the
stronger character, an intellectual man
and, so far as anyone knows. clean.
But who is back of him? The mill
ionaires OF Wall street, who are bent
on defeating Roosevelt. Attic his
managers do not so about their buying
In the same coarse, brutal way, az
the agents of the yellow journalist, it
may be presumed that a millionaires'
ycatnpsiGn fund IS established for d
purpose. The country might fare bet
ter with Hearst than with Parker:
However, the situation is bad enough
at best The democratic party has
already SO disgraced itself that IN
many state it no longer has stand
ing sufficient even to make the re-
publican party be good and when this
usefulness is lost the Chicago Chron-
icIe or any other journal of civiliza-
ton can well lament the hopelessness
OF the situation.

PACKARD ON RECIPROCITY.

Governor Packard is the author of a
contribution, published in today's issue
of the T.-R., which ought to assist in
settling the differences which exist
within the republican party. Governor
Packard is an extensive farmer HIM
self. AS an officer of the state fair
association and of various organiza-
tions of farmers Mr.. Packard may bc
presumed to speak for the agricul-
~@.,,ral interests of Iowa with some de-
s.sss of authority and information. AS
governor of Louisiana during recon
struction times and as United States
consul to Liverpool later he may be
credited with some knowledge of re-
publican history.
Mr.. Packard was a pronounced Gear
man active In the fight when the Gear
Cummins fight was on, but today he
believes that the fight made upon Gov
ernor Cummins tariff views is actuated
by some sinister purpose. There is a
.nigger'' in the woodpile, says Mr..
Packard and since Isaac was deceived

Travelling Is Dangerous.

Constant motion jars the kidneys
which are kept in place in the body by
delicate attachments. This is the rea-
