not for a lot of machines who dis

such an unearthly row to get to sell

more to prevent the building of a

A VICTIM OE THE "MACHINE."
HY CI.IKFOIW STA N LU Y.
No ono in the Stato of Ohio had
been a more ardent supporter of Mr.
McKinley than Joseph Fitzgerald,
and every ono predicted that ho
would get a good position, in recog
nition of his services in the cam
paign.
Ile had been reared a country boy,
but carly developed a love for tho
mad infatuation of politics, and in
early life abandoned the farm and
sought tho excitement of city life.
He noon became a powor in thc poli
tics of his ward, and from this his
influence extended to thc entire
State. By and by his fame became
national, and a brilliant future was
predicted for thc rising young
genia.'.
At tliis period in his lite, whilo his
political star was in tho ascendant,
he won tho band s well as tho heart
of pretty Mabel Carter, one of the
fairest of Ohio's daughters. She,
too, fell under tho fascinating influ
ence of politics, and eagerly entered
into every scheme of her husband.
Sometimes ho neglected his busi
ness to play at the interesting game
of jioliticH, hut his wifo never chided
him, but rather lent encouragement.
When they had boon married two
years a tiny baby came to bless their
union, and tho son soon found a
warm placo in tho hearts of both
father and mother.
The business bad been neglected
so much ?Jiat it had to be abandoned
and ho was forced to depend on
"politics" for a living. Ho held a
position in tho State Legislature, but
this paid him very little, and bo was
compelled to eke out a living by
writing for tho newspapers. Ho was
a brilliant writer as well as an ac
complished orator. Nature had be
stowed rare gifts upon him, and men
gladly followed his leadership.
When the last national campaign
, was well under way he left his homo
and went into the hottest of the fray
for tho nominoo of his party. Prom
county to county ho went, and every
where his eloquent voico called poo
' pie around tho Republican standard,
He was congratulated by the Presi
dent-elect upon his splendid services,
and right heartily did bo take part
? tho general rejoicing.
Tho fourth of March saw him in

ant of countenance. AB tho now
President rode back up Pennsylva
nia nvonuo toward tho White House,
he could hardly retain his jubilant
spirits, and he was sorely tempted to
toss his hat high into tho air and
shout lustily. But, on second
thought, ho considered that it would
not bo in keeping with tho dignity
of a young statesman, and so re
strained himself.
Tho next morning after tho inau
guration ho was at tho President's
houso bright and early, oxpeoting
that tho Prcsidont would re?oive him
with open arms, but imagine his sur
prise to (ind hundreds thoro boforo
him. This somowhnt disconcerted
him, but be went away, saying :
"The rabble will sorui get through
calling, and then I vii! seo tho Presi
dent and havo a long talk with him,
and select sonic good place, so that I
can properly caro for my wifo and
child."
But tho next day ho found that
the throng had increased, and all his
efforts to sie McKinley were in vain.
Ho was told to call again. This he
did day after day until ho lost his
good nature and became irritable.
At last bo was ushered into thc
presence of Mr. McKinley, r.nd had
tho pleasuro of grasping hie hand
and saying :
"Mr. McKinley, 1 suppose you re
member the good work I did for you
-" when ho was hustled along to
mako room for the hungry oftioc
seoker next in lino bohind him.
And thus it was day aftor day,
until at last, in desperation, ho told
tho President his irionoy was all gone
and he must have an oflicc. The
President's great, kindly heart pitied
the young man, and ho sat down for
half an hour's conversation with him.
Eloquently did he plead for wife
and child. With tears in his eyes
he told tho President that ho had
spent every dollar he had in tho cam
paign,
Tho President told him that h<
must have the endorsement of thc
Republican "machino" of his Stato
This had never ocourred to tho yornup
man beforo, but lie had no doubl
that ho could do so.
Finally, after much delay, ho sue
oceded in obtaining tho desired en
dorsement, and mado his applicatioi
for a position in tho Stato Depart
mont. Tho appointment was dc
layed from time to tirno, and then ii
went to another. Gloso investiga
tion developed the fact that ho wai
being "knifed" by tho "machino.'
In other words, the "machine'
wanted to destroy him, becauso o:
his brilliant ability.
When this fact dawned upon bin
ho was almost heartbroken, but he
determined to obtain a position ii
spite of tho "machine." Ile obtainei
endorsements from loading ltopubli
cans all ovor tho Union, but no posi
tion could ho obtain. Kvory doo
was shut against him because he ha?
incurred the displeasure of th
"machine."
Ho had now been in Washing to
for three months, and his little stor
of money was exhausted. On th
10th day of Juno ho rocoived thc fol
lowing letter from his wife :
MY DAW,INO HUSBAND : I lmv
not received a letter from you fe
four days now, and I am so unens
about you that my heart is sick,
know that there is something tl
matter. Your misfortunes have bec
so great that you cannot write.
But this should not bc, my dei
husband, for whatover may boffl
I you, I have tho fortitude to bear.
1 can only havo you, I will faco po
erty and disappointment.
1 dislike to add to your troub
now, but I must again toll you th
our rent is long past duo, and unie
it is paid by the 20th tho landloi

that you may obtain a plnco a$ one

discouraged, my husband, for Ho w
in some way provide for UH,
Our little .Too is bright and choc
ful, and ofton wants to know wh<
papa is coining homo.
Your loving wifo, MA ma,.
This lotter only added to hifl sc
row, and in his despair ho mado
last appoal to tho "machino," h
was brutally told that ho could c
pect nothing. That night ho wont
to hm tnjserablo lodgings and wroto
to hts wife :
MY BKI.OVKD WIKK : How can II
write to you? J. dare not toll you)
my real condition, and yet it is bet
ter that you should know. For days, I
now, I bavo not eaton a hito except I
froo lunches in saloons. I mn living j
in a little hall bedroom, scantily fur
nisbed, and tho time tor whioh I
havo rontod it expires to-morrow,
and I have not a cent in tho world,
and supposo that I will ho turned
out on tho street. I oannot cvon
mail this lottor to you, my darling,
unless somo one, through sheer pity,
givos mo a postago stamp. But I
will havo a stamp if I am compelled
to bog or stoal it.
t have found that thero is no such
thing 'xs gratitude among politicians.
Every n an is simply used as long as
ho is se. viooablc, and thou thrown
asido f ir somo ono olao.
President McKinley is a gbod
man, but ho is hampered by this
vicious system of ours, whioh parcols
out everything to thc political boss.
Ile is uttorly holploss in their hnnds,
just as all Presidents are.
Oh, that I woro back with you and
our child, and could find all this
cursed political muddle only a horri
ble dream. Sometimes I thiuk until
T am almost mad, and but for your
sustaining love 1 fear that despair
would drive mo lo madness or sui
cide.
What am I to do ? That i.s. tho
question which has burned itself into
my brain, and haunts mo both day
and night. Our rout past duo at
homo, and 1 without a dollar in tho
world-yea, without bread. Oh,
God ! what shall I do ? Lot mo
think, love. To-night I shall pray
for inspiration, that I may know j
what to do. And now, dear love,
?Ood night. Kiss our boy for mo.
Your dovoted husband,
JOSKFIl FlTZOBRALD.
P. S.-It is 12 o'olock midnight.
I havo just purchased a stamp with
tho money I reoeived from holding a
man's horse while bo went into a
saloon for a drink, and will hasten to
mail you this lottor.
Again, good night. J. F.
All night ho tossed restlessly on
his bod, but no inspiring genius
carno to light up bis miscrnblo hall
bedroom with a singlo ray of hope.
In tho morning I met him, and I
could road roal madness in his oyes.
Ho laughed hilariously when I in?
! vitod him to broakfast with mo.
"No, thank you, old boy," said ho ;
"I am dining at thc Arlington now."
Later in tho day ho wroto a wild
sort of lottor to his wife, saying that
a good position had just boon offered
him, and that be would bo homo in a
few days, with money for their ?in
mediato necessities.
That night ho collapsed, and tho
next morning, when I callod, ho had
a raging fovor and talked incohe
rently. I bad him removed to the
hospital, and in three days he was
doad.
Then I took it upon myself to call
lipon thc political bosses from his
State, who constituted tho "ma
chino." I told thom tho story of bis
sufferings and death, of thc almost
starving wifo and babe. I appealed
to thom for money to buy a coffin,
and for enough to send his body
home and bury it. Thoy all, with
ono accord, said "No."
My hoart bumed with indignation
as I turned away from them in dis
gust. I did not even bolong to thc
samo political party of which ho was
a member. I was only a poor news
paper scribbler, but 1 decided that
ho should havo a douent burial. So
I took tho money which I had laid
asido for my summer's vacation, and
bought a casket and startod for his
homo.

mo every moment. Every ollokety
oltok of tho wheels seemed to ask mo
that question.
At hud we vouched the station,
and I lo i t the train and prooured a
conveyance to take tho remains to
the cottage At tho door T halted
and hesitated. Fnally I summoned
up oourngo and knookod. A pale
faced but beautiful young woman
answered tho summons. I know, in
stinctively, that I was in tho ptes
unoo of his wifo.
A terrible lump was rising in my
throat, and I folt that ? must spoak
at onco or give it up altogether.
"Madam, it grieves mo to toll you,
but-"
"Oh, God, he is dead !" she sobbed,
for at that moment she caught a
glimpse of tho solemn black cusket
coming up tho stroot, and fainted.
Sho novor regained consciousness,
and that night, as I sat by hor side,
sho opened hor oyes, an unearthly
smilo lighting up her face, and with
her palo, thin hands outstretched,
cried : "Love, I'm coming ; wait for
mo."
I buried thom both in ono grave,
and thoro thoy sloop side by side,
while tho "?n .chino" still controls
tho politics of tho State
Thoro was no ono to take caro of
tho baby, so I brought him back to
Washington with mo.
Just ns I finish theso linos ho is
damboring up on my knoo, his olear
blue oyes looking into mino.
"When will my papa and mamma
tum ?" says baby Joe, looking stead
ily into my face, and I-well, I can
not answer him, for that trouble
some lump is rising in my throat,
and tho tears come, unbidden, to my
eyes.
"Don't cry, my other papa," says
little Joe, and I press him closo to
my heart with u hearty "God bless
you, my boy."
Go to sloop, dear baby boy, and
dream of papa and mamma, and of
their coming, whioh will novor bo.
Thoy havo gone to return no more.
Tho "mnohino" mowod thom down
like stubble. They wore viotims of

PROFITABLE FARMING.

At a rccont meeting of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society Mr. F. J.
Merriam, who runs a hillside farm
near Atlanta, Qa., in tho course of
an interesting talk made tho follow^
ing statement :
If a man will study his ground "he
will lind it to bo fully as entrancing
as tho study of books. Through
marriage I booamo connected with a
small farm. With my brother-in
law 1 bioko ground in 1898 to moot
thc market demand? in Atlanta.
That year I made only $500, but tho
$115 whioh I roccived from 250 hills
of cucumbers convinced me that J- *|i
was on tho right traok. Tho next
year my sales wont up to $1,984.20.
I got $600 from ono aero whioh I had
planted in potatoos. The next yoar
(1895) I markotod $8,829 worth of
vegetables. This year I found let
tuce to bo tho best sollor, gotting
$791.40 on that article. It was in
1896, however, that I struck luok
and gainod tho final conviction tha^ .
there is money in tho land whon.tho
farmor studies his surroundings. In
that year I sold $5,008 worth of
stuff, of which $704.00 carno from
lottuoo, $583 from turnip salad and
$404 from beete. I -k^op "book
strictly and find that it costs mo ex
actly one-third of what I raiso to
pay tho necessary expenses, includ
ing repairs. In 1897 prices woro
lew and tho moro ordinary vegeta
bles wore in demand, but ovon undor
this stringonoy I made $4,788.60.
Of this $529.55 came from throe
aoros planted in tomatoes, $898.90
from beans and $329.55 from turnips.
In 1898 found tho markot still do
pressed, but I made that year $4,
794.20, of which $732.90 oamo from
turnip salad and $561 from collards.
This yoar, notwithstanding tho very
bad season wo had in tho spring
months, up to tho 1st of August 1
have sold $4,188.65 worth, $G00 of
whioh carno from ono aero planted in
oabbage, and I intend to pookot a
rou; id $10,000 this yoar out of my
little farm.
Georgia soil under a systom of
deep plowing and thorough tillage ^.
will produce lino orops. Our rod,|
clay subsoils aro rich in plant food.,
Tho Georgia "Cropper" huB been
plowing for years down W'YV?KUXJK
called "tho hard," and tho saree hard
subsoil has boon absorbing all theso
? ears thc plant food from tho thin
layers of cultivated ground as it was
packed down by tho heavy rains,
until to-day it is roady by tho raagio
of modorn improved farming to yield
up its riches in orops that will aston
ish tho eivilizod world. Wo have
striking oxamplos of this in tho
farms scattered hore and there ovor
tho State, which appear like oas^s in
tho desert of surrounding barrenness.
Farms whore thrift is tho order of
tho day, and tho owner looks per
sonally after ovory detail, are objcot
lessons of what wo may expect whon
tho community at largo becomes bet
ter edueatod in modorn farm meth
ods. And tho fact that those suc
cessful mon aro still progressing,
that their crops aro growing largor,
thoir land richer and thoir not profit
at tho close of tho year shows a cor
responding inoroase, goos to provo
that no limit can bo placod upon the
productiveness of our soil and tho
woalth and prosperity, as an agri
cultural community, that wo may
finally aspire to.
