Replies to Mr.. Bamberg.

EDITOR BAMBERG HERALD:-Perhaps
we might agree with Mr.. Bambergs
article of last week, and no harm come OF
it, but that liberty for which he pleads
would be curtailment of the freedom of
thought of any one who accepted his
policy as practicable. The fact is, there
are in his article more hints at originality
of expression than there are at sugges-
tions beneficial.
Let the point in question, namely: ITO
name fixed price at which cotton shall
be sold," be considered from a practical
standpoint, and the argument put forward
by the gentleman cannot stand the test.
Who can tell what the demand for our
staple will be next year? True, If we
had sealed orders for shipments, Ito apply
his own illustration of the shoes, then
we would know just how much we would
sell for, and how much there would be
any need for planting. As it is, we DO
know how much will be an over supply,
why can We not then cut down, as has
been suggested, throughout the cotton
belt, our acreage so that there shall be no
surplus? For, Instance, 100000 bales
is too much, as has been emphatically, in
some cases pathetically, illustrated during
the past few months. Then let each man
curtail his acreage proportionately las
has been agreed in many places and in
stead of 100000 bales, there will be-
only enough to send the demand to ten
cents or thereabouts.
"What is the use for me to have money
or property if I can't do as please with
my own?" the gentleman queries. With
out attempting to preach a sermon (for l
am not preacher) it might be in order to
reply to this query by asking him if man
owes no duty to society? Is there not
such thing as trespass on the rights OF
our fellow man 1--WE still remember his
plea for liberty, when the owner of
property abuses his possessions? That
man is in pathological condition who
refuses to acknowledge his relation to his
fellow.
The gentleman is an interesting writer,
but he is on the wrong side (of course, me
judice). MAWk.

subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because Of some
financial or family trouble. It wears and
distresses them both mentally and phys'-

bringing on liver and kidney ailments,

loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality
and dependency. They cannot, as a

"By me-" replied Steinmetz.

There was a momentary pause. De
Chauxville and Eta exchanged a
glance. Eta felt that she was lost.
This Frenchman was not one to spare
either man or woman from any motive
Of charity or chivalry.

princess is not relieved from the en-

Steinmetz slowly. what about him?'

Karl Steinmetz passed his broad
hand down over his face, covering his
mouth for a second.
But he died. He was found on the
steppe and buried at Tver."

vile, with easy sarcasm. But who
found him on the steppe? Who buried
him at Tver?"

The next second Steinmetz staggered
back a step or two as Eta fell heavily
into his arms. But he never took his
eyes off De Chauxville.

CHAPTER XXXIII.

~ TEINMETZ laid Eta on O sofa.
She was already recovering

~ twice, and all the while he kept
his eye on De Chauxville. A quick
touch on Etta's wrist and breast show
ed that this man knew something Of

1.-THE princess requires your atten-
tion," said Steinmetz, still watching
De C%hauxville, who was looking at
Eta and neglecting his opportunities.
Steinmetz went up to him and took
him by the ARM.
"Come with me-" he said.
The Frenchman could have taken
advantage Of the presence Of the serv-
ant to effect q retreat, but he did not
dare to do so. 1t was essential that he
should obtain a few words with Eta.
To effect this he was ready even to
face an interview with Steinmetz.
He preceded Steinmetz out Of the
room, forgetting ever to resent the
large, warm grasp on his arm. They
went through the long, dimly lit pas
sage to the old part of the castle,
where Steinmetz had his rooms.
"And now" said Steinmetz, when
they were alone with closed doors,
land now, De Chauxville, let us under
stand each other"
De Chauxville shrugged his Shout
ders. He was not thinking Of Stein
metz yet. He was still thinking of Eta
and how he could get speech with her.
With the assurance which had carried
him through many a difficulty before
this, the Frenchman looked round him,
taking in the details Of the room. They
were in the apartment beyond the large
smoking room-the anteroom, as it
were, to the little chamber where Paul
kept his medicine chest, his disguise,
all the compromising details of his
work among the peasants. The broad
writing table in the middle Of the
room stood between the two men.
do you imagine yourself in love
with the princess?" asked Steinmetz
suddenly, with characteristic blunt
ness.

"Tf I thought that it was that" said
the German, looking at him thought
fully, II would throw you out Of the
window. If it is anything else. I will

1t seemed tnar he was right, Tor they
stopped, with staring, stupid eyes and
idle hands.

tired of you. I have been patient with
you for years. You are sheep. Are
you fools also to be dazzled BY the
words of an idle talker who promises

There was a sullen silence. Paul had
lost his power owe them, and he knew
At He vas quite cool and watchful.
He. knew that he was in danger. These
men were wild and ignorant. They
were mad with drink and the brave
words Of the agitator.

for the handle Of the door behind his
back. eff I go now. I never come

He opened the door. The men whom
be had nursed and clothed and fed,
whose lives he had saved again and
again, stood sullen and silent.
Paul passed slowly out and closed
thAHdoor behind him. Without it was
dark and still There would be a moon
presently, and in the meantime it was
preparing to freeze harder than ever.
Paul walked slowly up the village
street, while two men emerged sepa-

them. He was not aware that the Their
mometer stood somewhere below zero.
He did not even trouble to draw on his

He felt like a man whose own dogs

About the SoloIsts.
This morning at . o'clock the sale Of
seats for the oratorio of st. Christopher
opens at NJ. Steinsrt's, on Chapel street.
The indications are that the sale will
be a large one, as the interest in Pro-
lessor Parker's music is very great. Al
ready a number of requests have been
received from people in various parts OF
tina state. One large party will come
from Norwich, which is about sixty-tive
miles from here. .a.-.-
The interest is scarcely to be wonder
ed at, for Professor Parker has been a
prominent figure in music in the state
for ten years, not to say. anything OF
his national and international reputa'
ton. He is known to the people Of this
city more as an orchestral and choral
conductor than as a composer, although
occasional compositions of his have
been given here. No one will have for
gotten the "Hora Noyissima" given two
years ago by the New Haven Oratorio
society, a composition which European
critics said was the best that had, UP
to then, come out of America. But this
later oratorio, "St. Christopher" is a
step beyond mis- first choral work. 1t Is
bigger and broader in its musical con-
ception, and has taken its place among
the greatest oratorios of the times.
Rerearsals by the society have beer

have heard these rehearsanls feel tha

THE GREAT AMERICAN MULE.

THE GREAT AMERICAN MULE.
The sun never sets on any land where
the American mule is not at work. AT
least, such is the claim, of Missourians,
Ito whose State the mule has brought
| international fame and local good for
tune. .-z 49,, -.
/ Eighty thousand American mules,
many if not most of them from Missou-
| ri, were shipped to Africa during the
Boer war, and now the mules for the
work on the Panama canal are to be
forwarded from New Orleans. Local
dealers there, it is reported, expect
that fully 10000 will be needed. They
are preparing to submit bids, and ar
arrangements are being made to bring in
from the plantations as many of the
animals as may be needed. A former
assistant postmaster-general will dc
the purchasing, and the stimulus of
| this Increased demand is already mani
lfest in MISSOURI.
The demand for American mules for
lCuba, for South Africa for the Philip
/ pines, for Manchuria, and more re-
Gently for Panama, has added to their
value in the domestic market.
! In 1895, 10 years ago; by the depart
Iment of agriculture estimate, the val
lue of the hogs in the United States
was $3.50, 100000 and of mules $4,000
00o-twice as much national wealth in
lhogs as in mules. This year the es-
Inmates are: Hogs, $3.50, 100000, mules
l$251, 00O 900.

shows have not advertised him. Mod
