A years experience in the use Of gas
tar produced at the municipal plant in
Holyoke, Mass, has increased the con-
fidence OF the members Of the board
of public works in the value of that
material in the construction Of macad-
am roads. The tar from the city gas
plant costs only cents gallon as
compared with 6 cents or more for the
ordinary commercial article Although
not carefully refined and brought to n
uniform standard, the material has
given good results at remarkably
low cost. AS laid in Holyoke a new
macadam road can he laid with two
pourlngs Of tar on the surface coats
for 80 cents a square yard. This year
the tar macadam will be used on more
heavily Travelled streets than those laid
last Year. To get the best results ex-
perience has taught that the broken
stone screenings should be free from
all dust and as clean as If washed. II
the fine stone on which the tar Is pour
ed is dusty the tar does not stick.

A Chance to Protect Labor.

Dispatches from the old country
state that the result Of the national
election here was celebrated in many
parts of Europe where there were re-
turned immigrants in great numbers.
Moreover. these immigrants promptly
packed their chests to return and get
another slice of our prosperity When
leaving us in the dull time they car
ried away over $100,000,000 of our
money, and. having disposed of it,
they are coming for another big haul,
cheered by the stay at homes, who
profit one way and another by the
venture.
No doubt the foreign steamship COM
panies had agents in the front ranks
Of the shouters during these public re-
joicings, some of which. we are told,
were zealously encouraged by the local
authorities. The demonstrations were
not for America ut all. but for the gold
that is to be found here. When these
raiders land here again they should be
shown that America is for people who
believe in the country and stand by 1t
through thick and thin. We have un-
employed labor here. and no alien
should get job SO long as there is an
American citizen ready to take hold.
This is legitimate method Of pro-
tecting our own laborers. The wages
earned by this class will be invested
here. At the height OF prosperity
few years ago we were glad to see the
steerage crowds coming over. Their
muscle was needed. But now that we
are at the turning of the tide, with
thousands Of native and nationalized
citizens out of work, employers should
see to it that those who are nailed to
American SOIL so to speak. get the
best employment before these fair
weather Americans are taken on. Let
immigrant laborers see that America
takes care of its own first. They need
the lesson. and if they go back home
in a sulk so much the better. Ameri-
can prosperity should light upon Amer
leans first

the years of labor performed by Populists,
Alliance men, the Granger, old Greenbackers,

dustrial reform. The seed was sown on good
soil. It has been watered by the tears Of
poverty and distress, and nourished by the
sacrifices of brave few who stood Loyalty

that the respectable element in the two old
parties could not stand it. Some one took the

systems was exposed. Who lifted the cover
is immaterial but the condition shown empha-
sizes the fact that the Populists made cor
rect diagnosis Of the case in their preamble
and platform adopted at Omaha, in 1892.
The adoption of that platform was accom-
panied with the glandest ovation of enthu-
siasm that was ever witnessed on this CONT
nent. For thirty-fve minutes there was no
cessation to the cheering, and old men en-
braced each other and wept tears of Joy.
So great was the ovation that it attracted
particular comment in the magazines on both
sides of the ocean, and especially from those
whose chief occupation was to defend organ
lied capital. | shall never forget that hour.
When at last there was a lull III the storm a
very slight incident started it anew and ten
minutes more were consumed in a whilrwind
of enthusiasm
The construction of that platform was not
a case of 'building better than we knew
The men who wrote that document knew. The
most prominent among them perhaps was Ig-
Mathis Donnelly, author, orator, scholar, phil
osopher and sage. It was he who penned the
preamble, the most scorching political indict-
ment Of false systems and corrupt admins
tration ever written. 1t was adopted with
very little modification. The platform was the
work OF master hands and has stood all these
years impregnable against the assaults that
have been made upon it. It remains today

ia Of the republic
The logic of events has decreed new align
ment Of political forces. Not that principles
have changed, but conditions shown by recent
developments are such that new allies are
ready to join in the battle for human rights.

Dear Sir: Being resident of your native

azine and your platform, "a square deal
to ALL, I am taking the liberty Of
addressing you to ask your aid in put
ting an end to the brutal treatment Of
my fellow prisoners in this institution.
| give the following statements to show my
authority for thus speaking
Why is it necessary for the prisoner to beg
for a small piece Of rotten tobacco, perhaps
once i'll two months, when the law Of the
state allows so much a week to each and there
are boxes piled upon boxes in the ''comms
sary' for such use? Why is it that the physi-
elan here never examines a man to ascertain
whether he be sick or not and if he has no
fever he is pronounced we'll man?
Why is it there is no record kept of the
number CT times a prisoner is punished and
the number of lashes as prescribed by the
law?
Why is it that a man can be struck one
hundred and forty-four Iashes with hard
leather strap and seven ticks with seasoned
hickory stick ON the head by the captain of
the guard and no attention paid to it?
Why is it that this captain can kick the
women prisoners down flight Of stairs and
no attention is paid to it?
Why is it we have to eat a small thin slice
Of rotten "Butt" meat twice day, and
impossible to get more, when the law pre-
scribes one pound, day, fresh meat for each
man?
Why is it that the captain uses rubber shoes
to walk the tiers of the sleeping apartments,
to "catch' the men talking, and will hide
behind some building or "woodpile" to
accomplish the same when the laws of the
institution plainly read that they shall walk
boldly and heavily when "on their rounds -?
These are a few of the conditions here and
the colonel with his corps of officers is daily
inflicting punishment upon men who are
entirely innocent, and at the same time getting
immensely rich off the state by pocketing
what belongs to the prisoner. A man who has
money here and can buy tobacco, canned
goods. razor, ETC., fares fairly we'll but the
majority fare badly and have since this colonel
has been in authority.

attest, seem Of enough Importance to you

Mr.. T. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: Mr. NJ. A. Garswell, of this
place, has repeatedly and persistently charged
that during the contest for Congress between
you and Black, the poor people Of this county
and the 10th district subscribed Thirty-fve
Hundred Dollars and paid over to you to pay
the contest expenses; that, after the contest,
Congress also paid you the amount of the con-
test, cash, and that you accepted both, and
put the Thirty-fve Hundred Dollars into your
pocket; thereby defrauding the people Of that
amount. Of course, to those who have stuck
to you from start to finish, this does not set

Dear Mr.. Bradshaw:
The statement to which you refer is abso-
lutely and maliciously false.

turned it over to Hon. C. H. Ellington, now
Ordinary Of McD"lfe county. post Office

of these gentlemen.
Mr. Ellington acted as custodian of the
fund.- and every dollar Of it was disbursed on
checks drawn by him. Not one dollar of it
went into my pocket. It was spent mainly
in paying the fees of the attorneys engaged
in the case. Messrs. John T. West and Ben
jamin Gross were the local attorneys, and
they associated with them firm of Washing
ton, D. c., attorneys.
[ had nothing whatever to do with the
voluntary subscription, and as to the Congress
sional appropriation, that also went to the
lawyers, and MOTTO me. Ny recollection of the
amount of the voluntary subscription is that
it was only about $1400. The amount of
work which the lawyers had to do was very
great and their fees were not nearly so large
as they should have been.

The two men stared at each other
for a time, silent and malignant. their
glances meeting like blades; in the old
err mans face look of defiance, in the
younger's a'dogged and grim purposed
enmity. McNamara's first perturba-
ton left him calm, alert, dangerous,
whereas the continued contemplation
of his enemy worked in Glenister to
destroy his composure, and his purpose
blazed forth unhidden.
He stood there unkempt and Soiled,
the clean sweep of jaw and throat
overgrown with three days black
stubble, his hair wet and matted, his
whole left side foul with clay where
he had fallen in the darkness. A mud
dy red streak spread downward from

were sagging folds, while the flicker AT
his mouth corners betrayed the high
nervous pitch to which he was keyed.

beaten better men, and he reasoned
that if it came to a physical test in

CHAPTER Xxi.

~ AY was breaking as Glenistel
came down the mountain. Wiz
the first light he halted 70
49, sean the trail, and, having L
means of knowing that the fresh track
he found We're not those of the tive
riders he followed, he urged his lathe
ed horse ahead till he became suddenly
conscious that he was very tired anG
had not slept for two days and nights
The recollection did not reassure the
young man, for his body was a weapon
which must not fail in the slightest
measure now that there was work to
90. Even the unweIcome speculation
upon his physical handicap offered re-
lief, however, from the agony which
fed upon him whenever he thought of
Helen in the gamblers hands Mean
while the horse, groaning at his mas
ter's violence, plunged onward toward
the roofs Of Nome, now growing gray
in the first dawn.
1t seemed years since Roy had sCen
the sunlight, for this night, burdened
with suspense, had been endlessly long
His body was faint beneath the strain,
and yet he rode on and on, tired, dog
ged stony, his eyes set toward the sea,
his mind storm Of formless, whirling
thoughts, beneath which was an unde-
WAITING, implacable determination.
He knew now that he had sacrificed
all hope of the Midas, and likewise the
hope of Helen was gone; in fact, he
began to realize dimly that from the
beginning he had never had the posi-
bility of winning her, that she had
never been destined for him and that
his love for her had been sent as a
light by which he was to find himself.
He had failed everywhere; he had be-
come an outlaw; he had fought and
gone down, certain only of his recti-
tude and the mastery of his unruly
spirit. Now the hour had come when
he would perform his last mission, de-
irving therefrom that satisfaction
which the gods could not deny He
would have his vengeance.
The scheme took form without con-
scious effort on his part and embraced
two things-the death of the gambler
and meeting with Mcnamara. OF
the former, he had no more doubt than
that the sun rising there would sink
In the west. So well confirmed was
this belief that the details did not en-
gage his thought; but on the result of
the other encounter he speculated with
some interest From the first McNa-
mara had been riddle to him, and
mystery breeds curiosity. His blind.
instructive hatred Of the man had as
sumed the proportions Of a mania; but
as to what the outcome would be when
they met face to face. fate alone could
tell. Anyway, Mcnamara should never
have Helen-Roy believed his mission
covered that point rs we'll as her de-
liverance from the Bronco Kid. When
he had finished he would pay the
price. II he had the luck to escape,
he would go back to his hills and his
solitude; II he did not. his future would
be In the hands of his enemies.
