Representative Underwood's state ment concerning the work of the house democratic majority and its earnest of more comprehensive reform program should the demo- cratic party be intrusted with full power is clean-cut and to the point.

With the adoption cf the expected cotton bill. the demo cratic house will have submitted to the republican senate the republican administration own Canadian reel proclty measure and special tariff revision bills reducing the average advalorem duty on woollen goods from 90 to 42 1-2 per cent; placing on the free list meat. bread, shoes and other necessaries of life; reyis- ing downward the taxes on cotton goods.

Country Town Sayings
 (By Ed" Howe)

Don't depend On the committee; do it yourself.
 Take an occasional chance; the sure things are all tied.
 Some people are so timid that they are never impulent except to friends.
 People are busy looking after their own affairs, and if you don't look after yours, they will be neglected,
 I have often been seeerely erlti. eised because of failure to appre- ciate a song as much as the girl who sang it.
 One of the greatest accomplish ments in the world is to be able to back up the minute you find yourself going wrong.
 The better you get acquainted with a man and his wife. the more surely you discover that they are a little afraid of each other.
 When you go on journey and ex Dect someone to meet you at the station, and no one does, ever no tice how funny you feel?
 One rich mans son who has all the money he can spend. and nothing to do will spoil ten poor young men in the course of his life.
 More people seem to be reaching that desperate frame of mind where they don't care if the nelghbors do know what they do on Sunday.

See here, Gormly, 1t amt for you

you're told. We've decided that this
is the way this scheme is goin' to be

CHAPTER XVI.

Tho chief of Police Visits Mr.. Gormly.
On the evening of the second day
before the election Cornell, dressed in
plain clothes and entirely unaccom-
panied, presented himself very late at
night at Gormly's apartment and de-
sired to see him. 1t was Somes who
admitted the official. Gormly's estab-
lishment was a simple one, and the
other servants had gone home for the
plight.
Somes knew very well who he was,
and while he had some Of the English
awe of the police he had all the ha-
tired of a jealous and devoted partizan
of his master, which he certainly was,
for the enemy. Therefore he re-
quested the functionary to take seat
while he carried the request for an in
terview to the library,
Somes entered the library without
knocking, most unusual course for
him. He also took occasion to turn
the key Of the door behind him. Then
he stood at attention in his respectful
English way. Gormly had looked up
instantly the door was opened, and
had stopped his dictation. He was
greatly surprised at the Wallets en-
trance. and more surprised when he
locked the door; but he realized that
something unusual was up and said
nothing.
BEG pardon, sir" began Somes de-
precatingly, but there's a party out
In the hall wants to see you"
"Who ia it?"
"He didn't give any name, sir, but
/ recognized him as the chief of po-
lice"
Yes. sir
what does he want?"
He didn't say, sir"
what was his messenger"
"Just to tell you that a gentleman
that's what he called himself, sir
wanted to see you"
where is he now"
81 left him sitting out in the hall,
but wouldn't be too sure as to where
he ia, sir. He seemed to want to come
right In here without permission, and
that's why locked the door, sir"
Il see," answered Gormly, a twinkle
of amusement in his eye. Il wonder
what the chief of police can have to
say to me? Well, suppose I'd better
see him. Chaloner, will you go into
the dining room and wait until call
for you. Tell the chief to come in,
Somes."
While Chaloner gathered up his
notebooks, pencils. and letters and
the hall, Somes unlocked the door,
stepped out into the hall and present
ly returned. He threw the door of the
library open in great style, drew him
self up and announced as II 1t had
been reigning prince:

New York;"

lam | indebted for the honor Of this
visit at this late hour?"
He glanced at the clock as he
spoke and observed that it was half
after eleven.
I've got something to say to you,
Gormly," began Cornell brus1ly.
81 am not aware of any intimacy
between you and me, Mr.. Connell,
which warrants you in your familiar
mode OF address. Address me with
decency and respect, or I'll have you
