He said thai dishonesty in high places in the state, in the judiciary and in our gieat finan cial institutions and corporations, ami the excuse of such act by the masses gravely threaten the future of this country. He pointed to the lesson taught by the fail of the ancient Ro man republic, the reign of terror in France, and the disasters which befell the Russian arms in the" recent con flict in the' far e'ast. all of which, he said, were due- to palliated dishonesty. He deplored the- conditions which lave led men to tolcra'e the ttnn.i "graft" and "grafters." and said he feared the- very us of words was an indication of nwn tolerance of the thif and his trade.

The improvement of existing railroads and the rapid cc instruction of new rail roads is urged and undoubtedly the government will not h-sitate to ac; upon this suggestion. It is to be ex pected that an era of raiT-way construc tion in Japan will be entered upon a: once and that this most essential re quircratct for the development of the country will be carried forward with the greatest possible energy. For this purpose the government will have no difficulty in obtaining whatever money it may ned. Japan is going to enter into very active competition with the rest of the world, not only for Asiatic trade, but for business everywhere, and is safe o say that she will secure .her share. Already tliorc is being siv-ested . union of Kuropean countries so prot-c tlimselv.-s auair.st a possible Japanese invasion, and a ::-.ove:neiit of this kind may 1- made.

In the first place, the p.irty ni'vi r had a stronger or more representative candidate than its pres ent standard bearer, J. Howard Pat te. In the second place, the republi can party has not before been so seri oiislv handicapped in its candidate. YVhile nothing should be said against the it i. oaal character of James McKin ney, his nomination was due to bis power and trickeiy as a politician and no: to his popularity with his own par ty or with the people. Always identi fied with a ioi:ical ring, lie is essen tially and typically a machine jm 1 it i- cian.

Mr. McKinney has been tried by, for, i.nd in behalf of the people, and lias been found wanting. Mr. Par tee has not coveted or desired public favor, but has been true to his political faith and doctrines at all limes, regardless of his own interests, personal or com mercial. He has stood in line with his party every time, believing that where its underlying principles were of such a character it could not err seriously in tin- issues that, might from year to year develop or disappear. Mr. Pat tee has made an admirable Im pression during h;s visit in Rock Island today, many citizens, irrespective of politics, improving the opiortunity to greet him. and all have been exceeding ly pleased with him.

The pair were t observed by their frieudsf who said that if -one brother married the other would receive a blow from which he wotfJd ueivr recover. Fortunately 'they f both fell in loveat the same timt' und pvith sisters. Henry became cugagud tolelia Martin, and Howard soon aftertf became engaged to her sister llete. It wus said that Howard proposed to the sister of his brother's linnet to sav. himself from beiut; left with no oue to love. How ever this may Le, both brothersJsoemed satisfied.

F.ach found in the other a listener into vh se e.-tr to j,ur a story of enforced scpartliou. Howard talked cf Helle, and Itelia talkesl tif Henry. The inter chiiiigo of sympathy was perfect. Ten months passed. Henry and l'ebe wrote tlsit they would meet in Soinhampt-m ;pci1 return on the same steamer.

As the time for the absent ones return dr-vv near this evidence of some secrctidroad increased, and on the day of the-:ariv.il Howard seemed threatened with nervous prostration. Delia Martin wcut to New York to meet her sister, the two girls having arranged to pass u few days in the city. Howard Cor with seuit word that be was not well enough to go on to meet his brother and his fiancee, and Henry on reaching port took the first train home. Howstrd drove to the sta tion for him. At their meeting Henry noticed that llow-sird looked right past him, avoiding meeting his eye. Henry sighed aud bent his bend. The pres sure of hands was cold and the meet ing entirely devoid of warmth. As they drove home together Henry said: Fletcher came to see you, I suppose, and brought you the commissions I gave him fr you?" "Yes." Henry sighed and gazed far away. "Fletcher told me all about you," said Howard. "So I supiosHl." said neury. "It was a pleasant season for you and Helle to be together In Switzer land." 'Fletcher Fpoke of it?" "Yes." I?y this time they reached the house aud, alighting, went into the library, where they had so often smoked anel talked and exchanged confidences. Then Henry said: "Howard, this thing is Liitiing you." "How did you know it?" Howard asked, quickly looking up at his brother. "I knew Fletcher would give you the facts." replleel Henry without no-tie-ing the question. "I saw what was on your mind the moment I arrived." "You are right In assuming that It Is killing me. To think that you who have lorne the burden for me ail th?se years and must always bear It should have such a brother." "What do yon mean, Howard?" "I mean that I am a dog. You know it as well as I. But what could I do? We have leen thrown together con stantly ever flnce you and Belle went away. I thought I loved Belle. Now I know I love Delia. I have robbed you of her." Henry went to his brother and threw his arms around his neck. "If you don't know it already," he said. Til tell you that I've robbed you of Belle." Howard looked at his brother In a dazed fashion while he gathered his faculties, then exclaimed: "Great heavens! Buppose either of us had proved faith full" UABEI -TANWAGKNEN.
