WARNING AGAINST HEARST
Says Sinister Figure of Demagogue Is
Revealing His Shadow on the
Future of the Country.

JACKSON CITY. Miss. March 10
Judge Alton b. Parker, Democratic
candidate for President i'm 1894, painted
q dark picture of corruption IN govern
ment and business TN an address before
the Mississippi Legislature today. The
mess was concocted by corporations
produced from unjust privilege conferred
by government, such as the tariff. he
said
The speaker also used his opportunity
70 accuse the Republicans Of being the
party Of these corporations and to warn
his audience against Hearst.
Shot at Republicans.
He described a process by which The
corporations gained control Of the Fed
eraI Government through privilege
bearing laws, and then State and local
officers by bribery for franchises. He
continued:
When the vicious circle was COM
piete. the greater so included the less
mat the sO-cailed organization OF the
Republican party had at it's command
every capacious and welI-filled reser-
'oir or political corruption. with SUNNY

camp where its favorites were found
During the past generation there is
no instance where, in any State. -

the Will and the opportunity to use
public power or revenues TO enrich him

II is also true that in no more than
three or four cities has this rank and
foul eXcrescenCe been able to gain a
hold to grow and flourish for any con-
siderable time in the Democratic
party.
Demagogue's Sinister Figure.
Evidently having Hearst I'm mind, to-
ward the end Judge Parker said.
Above and beyond all things, we
must avoid the denagogue like the

room by armed guards.
The situation explained itself, even
to a Reverend Billy. The Rajah had
not been idle during the interval of
dinner-givings and social divagations.
He had acquired the right of way
across the Utah's line for his block
aiding spur; had taken advantage of
Winton's inalertness to construct the
track; and was now prepared to hold
the crossing with a live engine and
such show of force as might be need
full.
Calvert turned back from the en-
trance of the valley, and was minded,
in spirit of fairness, to pass the
word concerning the new obstruction
on to the man who was most vitality
concerned. But alas! even Rev
erend Billy may not always rise SUI
perior to his hamperings as man and
lover. Here was defeat possible
nay, say rather defeat probable, for
rival, with the probability increasing
with each hour of delay. Calvert
fought 1t out by length and by breaGth
dozen times before he came in sight
of the track force tolins at the shale-
slide. Should he tell Winton, and so,
indirectly, help to Illustrate Mr.. OAR
rah's well-laid plan? Or should he
hold his peace and thus. indirectly
again, help to defeat the Utah COM
pany?
He put it that way in decent self
respect. Also he assured himself that
the personal equation as between two
lovers of one and the same woman
was entirely eliminated. But who
can tell which motive it was that
prompted him to turn aside before he
came to the army of toilers at the
slide; to turn a.d cross the stream
and make as wide detour as the
nature of the ground would permit,
passing well beyond call from the
other side of the canyon?
The detour took him past the slide

She rose, tingling to her finger-tips
with the shame of 1t, went to her
stateroom and found her writing ma

could be as direct as a mans. Win
ton was coming again that evening.
He must be stopped and sent about his
business.
So she wrote him a note, telling
him he must not come-a note man
like in its conciseness, and yet most
womanly in its failure to give even
the remotest hint of the new and bind
ing reason why he must not come.
And just before luncheon an obliging
Cousin Billy was prevailed upon to
undertake its delivery.
When he had found Winton at the
shale-slide, and had given him Miss
Carteret's mandate. the Reverend Bill
ly did not return directly to the Rose
mary. On the contrary, he extended
his tramp westward, stumbling on
aimlessly UP the canyon over the UNI
surfaced embankment of the new line
Truth to tell. Virginias messenger
was not unwilling to spend a little

So questioning the immensities, the
Reverend Billy came out after some
little time in a small upland valley
where the two lines, old and new, ran
parallel at the same level. with low
embankrnents less than hundred
yards apart.

Anecdote of Robert r. Hist.

The late Robert r. Hit had a knowl-
edge of stenography which was OF
great value to him In debate. He has
been known to rise with his hand full
of shorthand notes of speech just
delivered to which he was about To
reply and woe to the man who &C
cused Mr.. Hit OF misquoting him. He
was the patron saint of the stenog-
raphers of the house. Not long ago
political influence was about to dis
place from the line of promotion a
young expert writer of shorthand FROM
Michigan whose work Mr.. Hit had
occasion to admire. Mr.. Hit went to
Speaker Cannon. This will never do.

taken the fly from your pot Of pre-

The short winter day was darkening
to its close when he returned to the
Rosemary. By dint of judicious ma
neuvering, with love-weary Bessie
for an unconscious confederate, he
managed to keep Virginia from ques-

So much he said by way of damp

lighted. Then Jastrow came in with
one of the interminable cipher tele-
grams and Virginia was left alone.
For time she sat at the deserted
breakfast table, dry-eyed, hot-hearted,
thinking such thoughts as would come
crowding thickly upon the heels Of
such a revelation. Winton would fail;
a man with honor, good repute, his
entire career at stake, as he himself
had admitted, would go down to mis-
cradle oblivion and defeat lacking
some friendly hand to smite him alive
to a. sense of his danger. And, in her
uncle's estimation, at least, she, Vir-
