'hips. Hatfield had naturally marked
 the Torbay. He had seen the loss of
 Le Thesee, and had put his ship over
 toward the place where she had gone
 down. As he drew near he had or dered out his boats, and at fearful risk-for it was a most perilous un- | dertaking to launch boat in such a i sea-he succeeded in saving some 20 { people from her crew, among them
 being Countess Anne and old Jean Renaud.
 There were neither accommodation. clothing. nor any other conveniences 1 for the reception of half-drowned
 woman on the frigate. yet Hatfield had
 mp his own cabin to her and had made her as comfortable as possible there l in. while he beat out to sea during
 the awful night 10 save his ship.
 Buckets of sand in which had been
 placed heated shot had raised the temperature of the cabin. and Anne's clothing had at last dried on her per- son in the warm room She had been
 unable 10 sleep. and with difficulty partaken of food. Her condition was indeed dcplorable She had seen her country's fleet defeated: her grand father had been most certainly drowned, de Nitre and de Kersaint likewise. The ship on which she had been had gone down. although by Jean-Renaud's action she had been spared much of the horror of that awful scene What had become of her husband she knew not. consequently she was filled with grief on the one hand and apprehension on the other.
 Her state of mind. however. was not quite SO bad as that of Grafton. for he thought that he had lost her. and she still cherished the hope that she would be able to rejoin him. If she were only assured of his safety and they could be together again in the end. she felt sine could bear all the other hardships and losses. terrible though they were.
 She was ignorant. of course. of the wreck Of the Torbsy. as was every one else on the fricaie and Hatfield who had soon discovered her identity. enieavOred to reassure her as to her husbands safety. But it was with a sick heart. indeed. that she stood on inc deck by his side. in spite of the storm. wrapped in a boat-cloak which had belonged to Grafton and which he had left behind in his hzsty departure for the Torbay week ago. while the Maidstone was running into the hay. With him she stared hard at the bro ken. shattered ships straining at their cables in the storm which swept them on She marked the three which had been wrecked upon Le Four. two of them diSrIasted and rEined with the cesseless waves still poanding them to pieces She saw fur1h~r away great s-zz of fame and eiOGds of smoke

The Square Deal.

1.-THE square deal'' in politics has
come to mean more than platforms
and has practically eliminated them
for the time from politics, and it will
be the keynote in future platforms for
all parties. 1t is rapidly becoming the
one universally accepted test Of public
men. The man who refuses to declare
his personal convictions on an import
ant public issue, who hides behind
an ambiguous platform or as
sumes a dignifed air of mystery,
comes at once under suspicion. The
''square deal" implies the right OF
the public to know where every
public official stands. 1t marks the
dead line between the public man who
serves himself and private interests,
and n who recognizes no other obi
CATION than the public interest. 1t
has struck such q cord of popular
sympathy that every official will be
weighed and measured by this stand
ard, and all projects Of legislation. 1t
means the uprooting of every form of
privilege, exemtion, immunity, adj
vantage and favor, and the establish
ment of the principle OF exact justice to
all men like.-Castlewood Republic
can.

lation and no municipal enterprises
and a Carnegie library which requires
an appropriation of 81, 600 a year. But
Watertown pays nothing for telephone
rental, while Brookings pays $3S per
year since the city bought the plant"
Everyone has right to their opinion
on all public questions, but just why
a newspaper is called upon to distort
the facts to maintain its position is
beyond our comprehension. Ignor-
ance is excusable at all times, but
when the facts in connection with the
city's business are as easily obtainable
as they are here there seems to be alb
solutely no excuse for publishing
figures that are misleading. The
Press says sat the last meeting a tax
was levied to raise $4,000 for interest
and principal" just as if the council
was not in the habit of doing such a
thing year after year and when the
fact is, on referring to the records, in
1904 the amount levied was $500 or
5000 more than was levied this year in
1905. Suppose the records do show
that "Brookings spends $4,000 more
per year than Waterfowl" does it nee
essarily indicate an increase in the
tax levy? The amount of money re-
quired by the city to carry on its
municipal enterprises, without profit,
would make any other city "go some''
if they had to raise the amount by di-
rect taxation and if the editor of the
Press will take the pains to procure
the actual figures, and not just guess
at them, he will find that the tax levy
in his own city, for all purposes, is
less than our neighboring city of Wa
tertown. That the council was obliged
to levy a tax of $4,000 towards
the support Of the plants" is
just as misleading. If the Press
cares to investigate the matter-it
will find that the plants are selfsus-
taining-in fact are making money for
the city and is doing this in spite of

purchased and installed there has been
a constant drain for additions and ex-
tensions. To be sure the council
"knows the difference between a con-
dition and a theory" that's the reason
they have placed the tax payer and
consumer on the same basis. There
is nj valid reason why any person
who enjoys the privileges of street
lighting should escape his just pro-
portion of expense in their mainten-
ance. The city is lighted by ninety
three 32-candle power lamps and has
4 arcs on its Main street and is one of
the best lighted towns in the state, all
done at about actual cost, while the
patrons are paying from 2 to 8 cents
per thousand watts less than the con-
sumers in the city Of WATERFOWL. At
WATERFOWL they pay Is cents and in
Brookings 122 cents.

Why Try to Mislead Taxpayers !?

Last week the city of Aberdeen voted
upon the question of bonding the city
for $35, 900 for a municipal lighting
plant and the bonds carried by a vote
of 62S for and SO against. Previous to
the election the Aberdeen News, which
was opposed to the bonds, said editor
tally:
"Much has been said of Brookings
experiments in municipal ownership,
and most of the matter spoken or
printed concerning the experiments
has been favorable. But that there
are two sides to the question, and the
other side is a serious m involving
a heavy increase in taxes is indicated
by the following editorial from the
Brookings Press: The city council
does not seem to take much stock in
the statement that the city is making
$16,000 per year out OF the municipal
plants. In fact, the city council,
which is in a position to knowt the diff
ference between a condition and a
theory, does not seem to have faith in
the ability OF the municipal enter
prises to pay the interest on the
investment, and at the last meeting a
tax was levied to raise 5000 for inter-
est and principal on the bonds besides
1880 towards the support Of the
plants. The records show that Brook
ings spends 5000 more per year than
WATERFOWL which has 1000 more popu-

Walter Wellman, in speaking Of the

Walter Wellman, in speaking of the
recent elections, writes the Chicago
Record Herald from Washington as
follows: "All this is regarded by men
OF both parties here as a glorious re-
suit. 1t indicates that even in the
great cities, where bosses and ma
chimes thrive best, the people can be
depended upon to rise in their wrath
at last and purge their local govern
ments of rottenness. But looking to
the future competent observers see in
the public mind a condition Of unrest
and discomfort, accompanied by a
marked tendency to Independent vOt-
ing. Party fealty is losing more and
more of its binding force. Machines
are playing out. The party that wins
control of the nation in the future
must have something more than a
name to conjure with. 1t must be a
progressive party. 1t must recognize
the fact that the American people are
thinkers, alert, open to new ideas.
Standing pat will not win. Last year
the Republicans won a tremendous
victory in the nation because they had
a radical and progressive candidate.
Independent voting began in the first
Mckinley campaign, when many
thousands of Democrats ~revolted
against free silver. 1t was continued
in 1900 and again in 1904, when Roose-
welt rolled hundreds of thousands OF
Democratic votes. Tuesday the same
spirit swept through the cities and out
into many of the states round about
them"
