Jarrat's voice was contemptuous.
 M. Armand turned from the dark ness, his look suddenly changed. ''Yes,' he said slowly, T will do it.'
 His visitor rose with 0 covert twist to his lips. "You have decided we'll" he said. You have the assurance to succeed too! To ilutter the farthingales you will need money, of course"
 Money" the other smiled. "And me the Maruui, se la Trouerie? Talk Of time for that-afterward.'
 Better and better" said Jarrat, the old sheer returning now that the game was won. 'It bespeaks good faith. hope you shared your masters gold with our honest skipper, Elves. But you will need brave clothes. Iris not too much you look like q marquis ar present"
 M. Armand laid his finger on his lip langhingly. "Ah, that is my secret. CiotLes!' He crossed to the chest, un- locked 1t with d key from his pocket. thrcw 1t open and began with rapidity to take out coats, waistcoats, short clothes-all of beautiful texture and heavy with lace. ..

 The secretary laughed gayly as he took out these, with a ribbon of foreign orders and sword.

 Jarrat bent toward him and spoke smilingly in the arrogance of full blood:
 "Is there no compensation even for that? Look, you! There be bright eyes in the middle plantation-bright eyes and red lips and little waists and soft ways. There are slender fingers to be kissed, and these fingers oft hold purse strings. Love is a pretty game, and by benefit of clergy 'tis sometimes wed with broad plantations that bring golden guineas across the water" He laughed at the look the other gave i him. ''Zooks" he cried. "Why not? Think you the proudest of them all would not blush to be wooed by a mo- ble? There are few my lords in the valleys"
 M. Armand sprang up, pushed the shutters of the window wide and lean ed out, drawing a deep, long breath. Dark was come down over a moonless vast flooded with waves of bishops purple, to which trees lent deeper mystery of shadow. When he turned his face was tender, his eyes luminous.

campaign for governor; and to COM
pare what has been done as regards
the great corporations and moneyed in
terests under this administration with
what was done under the last demo-
cratic administration while Mr.. Olney
was attorney general; would ask all
honest men whether they seriously
deem it possible that the course this
administration has taken in every mat
ter from the Northern Securities suit
to the settlement of the anthracite
coal strike is compatible with any
theory of public behavior save the
theory of doing exact justice to all
men without fear and without favorit-
ism.

minded men to remember that the
agents through whom I have worked
are Mr.. Knox and Mr.. Moody in the
department of justice, Mr.. Cortelyou
in the department of commerce and

of corporations, and that no such act
of infamy as Mr.. Parker charges could
have been done without all these men
being parties to it.
"The statements made by Parker
are unqualifedly and atrociously false.

ROOSEVELT ANSWERS CHARGES
The President Brands Judge Parker's
Accusations As False and Monstrous.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 5--In the
following signed statement given out
last night, President Roosevelt an
sWers the charges made against him
self and Mr.. Cortelyou in public
speeches by Judge Parker, democratic
candidate for the presidency.
White House, Washington, D. c.,
Nov. 4, 1904.-Certain slanderous &C
cusations as to Mr.. Cortelyou and my
self nave been repeated time and
again by Judge Parker, the candidate
OF his party for the Office OF president
He neither has produced nor can pro-
duce any proof of their truth; yet he
has not withdrawn them; and as his
position gives them wide currency
speak now lest the silence of self re-
spect be misunderstood.
Recites Parker's Charges of BIackmaiI.
"Mr. Parker's charges are in effect
that the President Of the United
States and Mr.. Cortelyou, form erly Mr..
Cleveland's executive clerk, then Mr..
McFlinley's and my secretary, then
secretary of commerce and labor, and
now chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, have been in con-
spiracy to blackmall corporations, Mr..
Cortelyou using his knowledge gained
while he was secretary of the depart
ment of commerce and labor to extort
money from the corporations, and l,
the President, having appointed him
for this especial purpose. The grava-
men of these charges lies in the as
sertion that the corporations have been
blaclmailed into contributing, and ein
the implication, which in one or two
Of Mr.. Parkers speeches has taken
the form practically OF an assertion,
that they have been promised certain
immunities or favors or have been as
sured that they would receive some
kind Of improper consideration in view
of their contributions.
''That contributions have been made
to the republican committee, as con-
tributions have been made to the demo-
cratic committee, is not the question
at issue. Mr.. Parker's assertion is in
effect that such contributions have
been made for improper motives,
either in consequence of threats or in
consequence of improper promises, di-
rect or indirect, on the part of the re-
cipients. Mr.. Parker knows best

whether this is true of the contribu-
tons to his campaign fund which have
come through his trusted friends and
advisers, who represent the great in
terests that stand behind him.
Accusations False and Monstrous.
But there is not one particle of
truth in the statement as regards any
thing that has gone on in the manage
ment of the republican campaign. Mr..
Parker's accusations against Mr.. Cor
telyou and me are monstrous. II true
they would brand both of us forever
with infamy; and inasmuch as they are
false. heavy must be the condemna-
ton of the man making them. chose
Mr.. Cortelyou as chairman of the ma
tional committee after having failed
successfully to persuade Elihu Root,
w. Murray Crane and Cornelius N.
Bliss to accept the position. l chose
him with extreme reluctance, because
could i'll spare him from the cabinet.
But l felt that he possessed the high
integrity which l demanded in the
man who was to manage my cam
paign. I am content that Mr.. Parker
and 1 should be judged by the public
on the characters of the two men
whom we chose to manage our cam
paigns-he by the character of his
nominee, Thomas Taggart and by the
character Of Mr.. Cortelyou.
Wicked and Atrocous, He Says.
'"The assertion that Mr.. Cortelyou
had any knowledge gained while in
any official position whereby he was
enabled to secure and did secure any
contributions from any corporation is
falsehood.
"The assertion that there has been
any blackmail. direct or indirect,
by Mr.. Cortelyou or by me is false
hood. The assertion that there has
been made in behalf and by my au-
thority by Mr. Cortelyou OF by any
one else any pledge or promise, or
that there has been any understanding
as to future immunities or benefits, in
recognition of any contribution from
any source, is wicked falsehood.
"That Mr.. Parker should desire to
avoid the discussion of principles
can well understand; for it is but the
bare truth to say that he has not at
tackled us on any matter of principle,

BALLOT IS MIGHTY
ELOQUENT SERMON BY REV. A. e.
:. CRAIG. AT FIRST METHODIST
CHURCH..
Right to Vote Is Sacred Thing-cost
of the Ballot and Dangers That Be-
set 1.-THE Responsibility of
Suffrage.

From Mondays Daily.
THE ballot is little thing yet a
mightier weapon than the sword, 1t is
as sacred as a leaf torn from the Bible,
1t is the agency which secures our
liberty it is our power to protest
against iniquity, it is the agency un-
der which all our rights are protect
ed" said Rev. A. e. Craig in an elo-
quent address at the First Methodist
Episcopal church last evening. Rev.
Craig took for his subject "The Bal
lot" and remarks were heard with
the large congregation present.
Rev. Craig said that it would be a
wonderful sight next Tuesday when
100000 free men would go to the
ballot box, for the purpose of register
ing their preference as to the men
who should rule over them and spoke
in part as follows:
Cost of the Ballot.
do we realize the cost of this bal
lot 1t has been estimated that 1000
battles have been fought to secure for
this generation the right of suffrage.
1t had beginning in the thirteenth
century when the barons of England
faced weak king and forced from
him the Magma Charta. A surly king
granted its provisions with reluctance
and it became necessary for Cromwell
to lead forth as resolute people as
ever faced royalty to insist that their
rights be maintained. Through the eff.
forts of Gladstone in 1872 the English
people were given more fully the right
Of ballot. We have the French revo
luton resulting from the oppression
Of the people by the privileged class
In Russia today the peasantry is the
football Of Czarism and no one can
tell what the outcome will be.
America the First.
America was the first to assert the
right of manhood suffrage, giving the
same right to the laborer as to the
millionaire, the same power to the
ignorant as to the intelligent
and although there were many
expressions of ridicule and pre-.
dictions of disaster from other nations
we have stemmed every tide and our
institutions are firmly established.
Right of Suffrage.
What is the right of suffrage? 1t
has been suggested that only property
owners should be allowed to vote
This is an illogical proposition as the
man who has nothing but his labor is
a. much property owner as anyone
as property is but the accumulation OF
labor. 1t has also been suggested
that the right of franchise should be
determined by the educational advan
tages of the voter. This would be to
say the least. doubtful experiment
as there could be no greater danger to
America and our free institutions than
to have O. sub stratum of unrepre
sented manhood where the principles
