CONGRESSMAN SIBLEY,

Congressman Sibley Of Pennsylvania
Is making himself absurd and ridicu-
lous by saying that he wants his bill
of election expenses audited. That Is
not helping his case any. There is no
legitimate way of explaining a bill OF
$4,000 for a primary nomination on
the congressional ticket. The salary
would not justify the expenditure and
the honor does not attach to an office
when that office Is bought Honor
comes when the people, unsolicited,
voluntarily select man to represent
them in the performance of certain
duties and acts of responsibility. The
man who buys his election, either
with money or by giving his entire
time to working for his own election,
certainly, away down in his own con-
science, must have for himself feel
ing of disgust instead of any SEM
blance Of sense Of having been hon.
Ored.
The man who buys his election to
office, or who puts in his whole time
in an effort to create sentiment for
himself for the sole purpose of getting
himself elected, is not At to hold Of
fee.

THE TARIFF AND WAGES.

The New York Herald publishes an
interview with Frank A. Munsey, mead
of the Munsey publications, which con.
tains the following clear cut express
; sion on the tariff:
If the tariff be reduced we cannot
maintain the high wage rate now IN
force. A lowering Of the tariff would
invite an influx of foreign goods pro-
duced by cheap labor, and wages in
our country would have to go down
with the tariff as a matter OF business
expediency, of business existence.
In this paragraph the Herald de-
clares Mr.. Munsey places American
labor face to face with the real mean
ing of the tariff problem.
His views as regards this question
are based on practical experience.
gained at considerable expense in the
publication Of staggering number OF
newspapers and magazines. For some
time past it has been a dull year in
deed which has not seen Mr.. Munsey
found magazine or purchase a daily
newspaper Already his interests, OF
this kind embrace goodly portion OF
the United States, and as his activity
shows no sign of waning they may one
day extend from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast and from the great lakes
TO the Gulf of Mexico.
Mr.. Munsey as an employer of labor
Is In position to speak authoritative
" regarding wages, the Herald con-
.inues, his opinions being based on
irst hand information, and he will
lave rendered labor in the United
States an immense service If he sue

that tinkering with the tariff is in re-
Atty tinkering with wages. The ques-
ton to be answered is not. as Mr..
Munsey points out. whether protection
Is advantageous or disadyantageous
for this, that or the other country, it
Is this: Are American labor organiza-
tions prepared to accept the inevitable
consequences of radical downward
revision of the tariff? One of those
consequences, and one that directly
concerns labor. must be reduction OF

search me II you like. See?" He opened
his coat and displayed his belt.
He's got six-shooter," some one
said.
Eyes, and may use it, said Elmer
son, quietly.
Maybe he dropped the knife" said
the Waterman, and began to search
about the floor, followed by the 9TH
erS. $-
1T may have been the woman her
self who stabbed Mr.. Marsh" offered
Emerson. He was strangling her
when arrived"
Reused by this statement to fresh
denial, Marsh cried OUT
II tell you there wasn't any woman
"And there isn't any knife, either,
Emerson sneered.
The men paused uncertainty. Seeing
that they were undecided whether to
believe him or his assailant, Marsh
went on:
"If he hasn't knife, then he must
have had friend with him"
Then tell your men what you were
doing in here and how you came to be
alone with us in the dark Emerson
stared at his accuser curiously, but
the Trusts manager seemed at loss
See here, Marsh, If you will tell us
whom you were choking, maybe we
can get. at the truth of this affair"
Without answering, Marsh rose, and,
leaning upon the watchman's arm,
said:
Help me up to the house I'm hurt
Send the launch to the upper plant for
John; he knows something about med
icine." With no further word, he made
his way out of the building, followed
by the mystified fishermen.
No one undertook to detain Boyd
and he went his way, wondering what
lay back of the nights adventure. He
racked his brain for a hint as to the
identity of the woman and the reason
of her presence alone with Marsh in
such place. Again he thought of that
mysterious third person whose move
ments had been so swift and furious,
but his conjectures left him at sea
more than ever. OF one thing he felt
sure. 1t was not enmity alone that
prompted Marsh to accurse him of the
stabbing. The man was concealing
something, in, deadly fear of the truth
for rather than submit to questioning
he had let his enemy go scot-free.
Suddenly Boyd paused in his walk
recalling again the shadowy outlines
of the figure with whom he had sc
nearly collided on his way up from the
beach. There was something familiar
about it, he unused; then, with low
whistle of surprise. he smote his
palms together. He began to see
dimly.
For more than an hour the young
man paced back and forth before the
door Of his sleepirg-quarters, so deeply
immersed in thought that only the
breaking storm drove him within
When at last he retired, 1t was with
the certainty that this night had
placed a new weapon in his hand ;
but Of what tremendous value it was
destined to prove, he little knew.

CHAPTER xxi.
The silver Horde.

The main body of the salmon struck
into the Kalvik river on the first day
of July. For week past the run had
been slowly growing, while the can
neries tested themselves, but on the
opening day OF the new month the
horde issued boldly forth from the
depths. of the sea, and the battle be-
gan in earnest. They came during the
hush Of the dawn, mad, croWdlng
throng, from No Mans Land, to wake
the tide-rips and people the simmer.
ing reaches Of the bay, flashing them
to sudden life and fury. Outside, tn>
dangerous ocean heaved as smiling
and serene as ever, but within the har-
Dor a wondrous change occurred.
AS if in answer to some deep-sea sig
nal the tides were quickened by a
coursing multitude, steadfast and I'M
afraid, yet foredoomed to die by the
hand of man or else more surely by
the serving of their destiny. Clad in
their argent mail of blue and green,
they worked the bay to madness; they
overwhelmed the waters, surging for
ward in great droves and columns,
hesitating only long enough to frolic
with the shifting currents, as if re-
ioicing in their strength and beauty.
At times they swan with cleaving
fins exposed; again they churned the
placid waters until swift combers
raced across the shallow bars like
tidal waves, while the deeper chan
nels were shot through with shadowy
forms or pierced by the lightning CLINT
Of silvered bellies. They streamed in
with the flood tide to retreat again
with the ebb, but there was neither
haste nor caution in their progress;
they had come in answer to the breed
ing call of the sea, and it's exultatior
was upon them. driving them relent,
lessly onward They had no voice
against its overmastering spell.
mastering in the early light like a
swarm Of giant white-winged moths,
the fishing boats raced forth with the
flowing tide, urged by sweep and sail
and lusty sinews. Paying out their
hundred fathom nets, they drifted
over the banks like flocks of resting
sea-gulls, only to come ploughing back
again deep laden with their spoils.
Grimy tugboats lay beside the traps
shrilling the air with creaking
winches as they "brailed" the strug.
Cling fish, a half-ton at a time, from
the S"pounds," now churned to milky
foam by the ever growing throng OF
prisoners; and all the time the big
plants gulped the sea harvest faster
and faster clanking and gnashing their
metal Jaws, while the mounds OF sal.
mon lay hip-deep to the crews that
fed the butchering machines.
The time had come for man to take
his toll.
Now dawned period of feverish &C
tivity wherein no one might rest short

partially. by the United States OF the
high protective tariff principle would
so stimulate foreign competition with
home industries that American manu-
facturers to meet it would be forced to
lower the present rate Of wages. II
they did not, foreign competition
would sweep them out Of existence,
throwing labor out Of employment.
AS Mr.. Munsey says, the Herald
adds, If the tariff is lowered, wages
must be lowered. You canot have
both high wages and lower tariff.

The Courier today publishes on an
other page communication relative
to the water question, that appeared
in the Cedar Rapids Republican, to-
gether with editorial comment made
by the Republican. Several years ago
Cedar Rapids purchased it's water
works property and the plant Is now
conducted under municipal ownership.
That the plan has not worked out as
we'll as was forecasted is evident from
the communication in the Cedar Rap
ids paper. The water rates have not
been lowered and complaint is made
that they are too high. In addition
to the rentals the city has been pay
ing $4,000 year in the form OF taxes
to pay off bonds and to make extern
sions, and the levy for next year will
be increased to $4,000. Ottumwa IS
facing the waterworks question again
and should learn all it can about the
experiences gained by cities that
have bought waterworks.

increased at the rate of 80 per cent

City's gain in population was 44-4 per
cent and Is becomes the second city
of the state. Davenport, the thlrd

of 22.1 per cent. It has been pre-
