The business men of st. Louis have
organized the National Prosperity as
ISOLATION and their motto, Give us a
rest and sunshine" indicates they are
Republicans tired of Teddy. These
prosperity boomers will find that
prosperity Is not to be had by saying
it is here, though that may encourage
some of the members to try and over
come that tired feeling, the result of
Republican policies. Those who look
behind the enc and see somewhat
how the political game Is played are
not calling for a rest, but, like the
Democratic members of congress, are
trying to stir a do-nothing congress to
activity. For over ten long years the
trusts have had a rest from competi-
tion and a Republican warrant to plum
der the people through the tariff an
average of over so per cent. Honest
men should therefore, instead of cry
ing for a rest, pitch in and fight for
their rights-equal rights to all and
special privileges to one Prosperity
for the trusts and combines has had a
long lease, and it is either foolish or
criminal to delude the people into TAX
ing a rest until the tariff that protects
the trusts is revised. 1t will require
the most active efforts Of a good ma.
iority of the people working overtime
until after election to curb the trusts
and corporations whose depredations
have given those st. Louis boomers
that tired feeling.

What standpattinq Costs.

Every months delay in placing
wood pulp on the free list, the Chicago
Journal points out, increases the diff
culties in adjusting the sources of
wood pulp supply. 1t continues:
while yet these new barriers are
being raised, our tariff 'standpatters'
calmly ignore the pressing demand
from all sections Of the United States
for the removal of wood pulp duties.
They are not of Canada's
readiness to take advantage of present
delay. The more rapidly our own for
ests are depleted the more profit does
Canada expect from her coming bar
gain to supply our deficiencies. This
Is but one instance of what American
consumers must pay in order that
their tariff overlords my build up
great private fortunes"

CHAPTER xvii.

For many weeks now Chip had suf.
fered from a troubled conscience, and.
like most of us, was unable to face its
consequences and admit her sin.
Time and again she had planned how
she could best eyade it and yet bring
those two brothers together without
first confessing. Old Cy must be told,
Of course. She could explain her con-
duct to him. He would surely forgive
her, she thought, and then, maybe, find
another home for her somehow and
somewhere. ~Oversensitive as she was,
to now confess her cowardly conceal
ment and her deception of those who
had loved and trusted her, seemed
horrible.
But events were stronger than her
will, for one day in the last of August,
Uncle Jud returned from the village
store, bringing dress materials and
startling information. "Cap'n Bemis
is failin' purity fast" he said, 80 Aunt
Abby writes, an she amt comm up

GRAFT IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Exorbitant Salaries Paid to officials In
the Islands.

The Inter-Island News of Zambango,
Mindanao, publishes a statement from
the Manila Review of Trade and Price
Currents, from which we learn that,
in the Philippines, official salaries are
nearly twice as high as they are in
the United States. In the Philippines
the secretary of the interior, secretary
of the treasury, secretary Of COM
merce and superintendent of public
instruction receive SIS, 900 apiece,
while in this country the secretaries
of the interior, the treasury and com
merce and labor get $4,000 apiece and
the commissioner Of education $500.
The writer of the article referred to
adds:
But the worst feature of the stu
alton is that fully double the number
of public servants needed are en-
ployed. This, together with the ex-
orbitant salaries paid, show what
might be accomplished in the way of
public improvements If the revenues
of the islands were economically ex-
pended. While the business men of
Manila do not favor any reduction of
revenue, they do favor a substantial
cut in the exorbitant salaries of Off
cials and other sources Of leakage
which will enable the government to
borrow at least one hundred million of
dollars, gold, with which to build high
uyouS roi1uyayc anI nfhnr nnraSoar nv
public improvements. This would
open up these islands from end to
end and increase production a hun
dredfold. Recognizing this fact, the
business men of the Philippines are
willing to pay every cent they can
stand for this purpose, but they are
tired of wearing themselves to their
withers paying e%Xorbitant salaries to
public officials who know little and
are less about the commercial inter.
ests of the archipelago.
They see the civil government here
expending practically $4,000, 900, local
currency, on what is known as the
Benguot road-and for what purpose?
Solely for the benefit of a few public
officials who may take a junket over it
once or twice during the course of a
year. If this official boulevard Incl
dentally opened up an acre of pro-
ductive territory, the business men
would applaud the action of the gov
eminent. But it does not. Absolutely
no material benefit whatever will or
eve can accrue from its construction
This amount of money expended upon
highways in any direction from Ma
Mia would have opened up a vast and
productive territory teeming with pop
ulatiOn."

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a
Baby.

II parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug-caffeine-which
Is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before CIV
ing the babies coffee to drink.
When l was a child in my mothers
arms and, first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals 1 lever
knew there vas anything to drink but
coffee and water.
And so I contracted the coffee habit
early. l remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground 1t in the
~coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard of.
l continued to use coffee until I was u,
and when I got into Office work, l be-
gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast l was so nervous 1
could scarcely attend to my CORE
s%pondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper, l could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous
"A friend persuaded me to try Post
UNI. My wife and l did not like it
at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now we
would not give up Postum for the
best coffee we ever tasted.
Il can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. I
recommend Postum to all coffee drink
ers.

Campaign Fund Publicity.

Democratic members of congress-
are jubilant at their success In getting
the Mccall campaign publicity bill re-
ported favorably by the house commit
tee on election of president, vice-presi-
dent and representatives of congress.
Although Congressman Mccall intro
duced the bill, Hon. Perry Belmont is
the real author, and without his work
for this reform it is doubtful II It
would have been reported or corsid-
cred by the committee. Mr.. Belmont
and his national publicity association
are entitled to the thanks of every
voter for their enthusiastic efforts for
this proposed publicity Of campaign
contributions as a method to prevent
political corruption.

Republican EXtravapance,

AS long as the boom in business
continued there was not much notice
taken of the ~eXtravagant appropria-
tions by congress, but now the boom
has busted and Republican prosperity
has vanished, and the receipts of the
government are running at the rate of
$50, O00, 900 behind the outlay, one
would think it was time to economic.
But the present congress is more ex-
travagant than ever and seems de-
termired to leave the national cup
board bare for the incoming Demo-
Gratis, as the Republicans did under
similar circumstances in 1884, when
President Cleveland was first elected.
The fact is the Republican managers
are good business %spenders, like
gamblers, but what is now needed and
what the country must come to Is
careful spenders, who while providing
all revenue necessary for the govern
ment will not waste the substance of
the people.

menace and mystery of a vast wilder
ness, she passed from childhood into
womanhood, with the fixed belief that
human kind were no better than
brutes; that the forest was peopled by
a neither world of spites, the shadowy
worse than this, that all thought and
action here must be the selfish ones
of personal gain and personal protec-
ton. Like a dog forever expecting a
blow, like any dumb brute ever on
guard against superior force, SO had
Chip grown to maturity, a cringing,
helpless, almost hopeless creature,
and yet one whose Unborn impulses
and desires revolted at her surround
ings.
Once removed from these, however,
and in a purer atmosphere, she was
like one corn again. Her past impress
sions still remained, her queer belief
of present and future conditions was
still a motive force, and the cringing,
blow-expecting nature was yet hers.
For this reason, and because this
new world and these new people we're
so unaccountable and quite beyond her
ken in tender influence and loving
are what they had done and for what
purpose seemed all the more impress
sive. But it was In no wise wasted;
instead, 1t was like God-given sunshine
to a flower that has never known
aught except the chilling shadow Of
a dense forest.
And now ensued an almost pathetic
play of interest, for Chip set herself
about the duty of giving instead Of OBJ
tanning pleasure.
She became what she was at Tins
Place,-a mental, SO far as they would
let her,-and from early morning until
bedtime, some step, some duty, some
kindly care for her benefactors, was
assumed by her. She worked and
weeded in the garden, she drove and

Jud to the bayfield,, insisting that she
must help, until at last he protested.

A Possible New Issue.

1t is reported that a number of for.
eign diplomats have been invited to at
tend the Republican national conven.
ton at Chicago, June II, and that they
have accepted the invitation. This is
a new departure in American politics.
Most of the diplomats are monarchists
representatives of European or Ash
attic kings. Their influence at a con-
vention of Republicans would be dis
tinctly evil. The president, as the
head of his party, should forbid their
attendance, and no doubt would do so,
if he were not himself a monarchist at
heart. There will be no imperialistic
ambassadors at the Denver onven
ton. That convention may see fit to
condemn the presence Of such ambas-
sailors at Chicago; and that may raise
a new issue in our politics.

n she never quite gin up the ides he
was alive"
And now a sudden faintness came
to Chip as the chasm in her own life
was thus opened. Only M instant
she faltered, and then her defiant
courage rose supreme and she took
the plunge.
"Oh, your brother Cyrus isn't dead,
Uncle Jud," she exclaimed; hes alive
and l know him. I've known 1t all
summer and dare not tell because I'm
a miserable coward and couldn't own
up that lied to you,~ My name isn't
Raymond, it's MCGUIRE; and my ia
Their was a murderer, and I'm nobody
and fit for nobody. l know you'll all
despise me now and / deserve it. I'm
willing to go away, though" and the
next instant she was kneeling before
Uncle Jud and sobbing.
1t had all come in a brief torrent of
pitiful confession which few would be
brave enough to make.
To Chip, seeing herself as she did,
it meant loss of love, home, respect,
and all else she now valued, and that
she must become a homeless wanAcFck'
once more.

Standpatter's Arithmetic

According to the standpatters in
congress the duty on printing paper
adds nothing to it's cost, and the news.
paper publishers are therefore max
ing a great cry about nothing. BY the
same token the Dalzell duties of $50
a ton on tin plate, $40 a ton on build
ing materials of steel and 1874 a ton
on steel rails add nothing to the
prices which American consumers pay
for those articles. In the standpatters'
arithmetic two and two make five.

And never in all his life had he felt
more amply paid for anything he had
done.
Then and there, Chip resolved to do
something that now lay in her power
to face shame and humbled pride
and all the sacrifice it meant to her
in the end, and reunite these two long
separated brothers. But not now, no,
not yet.
Before her lay two golden joyous
summer months. Aunt Abby was com.
ing up later. She could not face her
own humiliation now. She must wait
until these happy days we're past, then
tell her wretched story, not sparing
herself one iota, and then, if she must,
go her way, an outcast into the world
once more.
How utterly wrong she was in this
conclusion, and how little she under
stood the broad charity of Uncle Jud,
need not be explained. She was onIy
a child as yet in all but stature. The
n most bitter sheer of malicious
Hannah still ranked and poisoned her
common sense. Its effect upon Chip
had been as usual on her nature and
belief, and this waif of the wilderness,
this gnome child, must not be judged
by ordinary standards. Like reflec-
tions from grotesque mirrors, so had
her ideas of right and duty been dis
torted by eerie influences and weird
surroundings. There was first the IN
speakable brutality Of her father;
then the mental years at Tins Place,
with no more consideration than a
horse or pig received, her only educa-
tion being the uncanny teachings of
Old Tomah. Under this baleful tut
