AB ANECDOTE 0* MAIIivIIAM.
Mr. Williams awoke a wild outburst by
teliine th, lollowlng story abont Markham
at Washington: "Markh m was lying
ously ill from the wounds which he had re
ceived ln the defense of the Union, and he
was in great r distress than that caused by
his bodily pain by memory of bis promise to
secure a certain appropriation loi his con
stituents, and Ins inability to attempt to
keep hat promise. He sent for me and ex
plained Lis trouble. 1 comforted him as
much as possible, a: .I. gentlemen, it was not
long before the o onel was aW lo again
take his seat in Coo cress and fight for the
appropriation. Gentlemen, that is the sort
ol a man who will be our uext Governor. "
[Cheers.]
Al Houston. President of the Fremont
Ciub, surprised Maikham by presenting him
, D behall of the club with a gold-beaded
cane, the wood of which came Irom the
ship Trenton, which was lost in the great
£t<n in at Apia.
Wheu Markham rose to express bis thanks
he was cheered and cheered ag ... He made
a very, effective speech in thanking these
who "lind made the presentation, and when
he told over again the wonderfully brilliant
lien, n of the crew _> f the Tr> nton during the
big storm he was tendered a hearty and con
tinued burst of a; pl.mse.
The Colonel's address upon campaign
topics was brief and to the point 11- con
tented himself with detailing his pi si-ion in
the contest and his deal re. if elected, to
serve this State faithfully and welL When
lie took his seat he was given three cheers
and a tiger.
' WITTY REPLIES FBOM TUE AUDIENCE.
11. V. Morehouse was then introduced by
ti.e Chairman. lie expiessed lis pleasure
nt the unlimited enthusiasm shown during
the evening and sad that he could only ac
count fur it by the fact that General Fre
mont, after whom the club be tressed is
named, was the hr-; candidate of tln>K pub
lican party, and the members of the club are
ever enthusiastic for the success of the Be
pubiican ticket and the gentleman who
leads it.
Mr. Morehouse then referred to Mark
h. m's Congressional record and i. .- success
In securing appropriations for bis constitu
ents. Dwelling upon the Colonel's qualificst
tlnns for office, he asserted: "And he's a
runt er."
Immediately from the assembly voice
sounded in a comical tone: "And he's a
swimmer, too; and he'll swim over the
Fond as sure as you're born."
This assertion was greeted with a cyclone
of applause and laughter, and when quiet
was i gained Morehouse remarked : "1 have
heard a good many speech, 3, but never a
more eloquent one than that." lie then
asked: '"Where was Pond when Markham
was lighting lor tne Union?"
" He was diving for mud in Oregon,"
yelled a man from the center of the audi
ence, and another uproar of applause fol
lowed this reply.
Charles H. Jackson delivered a patriotic
speech; and after a local song and hearty
cheers fi r Markham, the enthusiastic crowd
pressed forward to shake hands with " our
n-x; Governor."
The members of the Fremont Club fol
loweu M nkh.iiii and the band to the Grand
Opera Hal!, and there continued in their
cheering for the man whom all the north as
well as tne south is learning to love.

WILD OUTBURST OF APPLAUSE.
. Markham's entry into the ball was the
signal for a wild outburst of applause whicli
was maintained even after he was seated ou
the platform, and when he addressed the
assembly he was greeted with another
ovation. lie opened his speech by stating
that he felt proud of holding in bis band a
gold-ln aded cane which had been presented
ii him but an hour ago. He said the gold on
the handle of the cane was a most too rich
for bis blood, for be hail never before ear-
led such a one, but he lad at once made up
his mind to carry it until he could uo longer
Walk ou earih.
Tliere was a ring of joy in his voice when
be spoke of the eat friendships shown for
him in San Francisco, telling of tue sur
prises wbich had been sprung upon liitn by
the presentations of a Grand Army badge,
tide from the wood of the lost ship
Trenton, and a cane. He referred with
considerable eloquence to the manner in
which' the 'I ronton weut down in the great
storm at Apia, and his description of the
braveiy displayed by the crew there was
heard with delight and received with ring
ing cheers.
lie terminated his brief address by de
claring in- intention of being true to the in
terests of the Slate if he is elected, and '.lie
assembly cheered enthusiastically.
U. V. Morehouse followed the Colonel,
and declared that after November _th Mark
ham will have buried every Buckley l.unb
.tip down in the mild of Buckley's Pond,
Then referring to Markham's character, lie
said thai the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor was not a man who charges 5 per cent
a minute ot, loans, but one who had worked
hard for bis living and is familiar with the
wants of everybody; an honest man— the
noblest work ol <iod. [Cheers.]
HOKEilnt. >!.'.. CONVERSION.
In bis own words this is the story of the
speaker's conversion to Republicanism:
"\\ lieu I was a worm-eaten Democrat, aad
wore my hair long, and chewed tol«coo and
spit it at humble-bees, Markham came along
and converted me. You see 1 had come to
understand tue labor question pretty well,
and 1 was well aware that the Democratic
party had never favored protection to home
industries, so when Colonel ftlarkham came
along, looking for all the world like Logan,
I asked his permission to deliver my first
Republican speech. He readily acquiesced,
and since that time I have kept right 81111115
making speeches for the Republican party.
Mr. Morehouse closed by challenging
Pond to state at the meeting to be held to
night In Grand Opera Hall that ho (Pond)
has nothing to do with Buckley or with
Buckley's lambs.
The other speakers were John B. Red
dick, Judge B. Smith of Los Angeles and
ex-Senator A. P. Williams, one of the war
horses of the Bepublican party. Daisy May
Cressy, the little Bepublican campaign
singer, also took part in the proceedings.
This meeting is the last to be held by the
Republicans in this city until October 14th.
It ended with continued cheering for Mark
ham and a rush to feel the friendly grasp of
the hand of that gentleman.
I'Lltl'LKXllll DEMOCRATS.
Candidal!.!, Who Will Kun aa Buckley
All»«fS— Where I» Pond?
But little interest appears to be taken by
the Democrats as to who will be nominated
for the local offices. It is conceded by all
well-informed members of ttie parly that
"Boss" Buckley will name the entire
ticket from Mayor to Justice of ibe Peace.
Not only will lie select the candidates who
will be placed before the people for their
franchises," but lie will also pledge all the
nominees to turn over to him the patronage
of their offices in case they should by nnv
mysterious turn In the wheel of political
fortune be elected.
This condition of affairs is particularly
exasperating to the younger and more am
bitious members of the party. One of the
latter class, referring to the situation, said:
" Km, 1 was a candidate for nomination,
but 1 am not now. In the lirst place, a
nation can only be secured through
Buckley, and even if a man should be
elected after thus degrading himself be
would have nothing but an official title, for
the 'B'iss' would control allt!:e patronage.
As matters now stand, every name placed
on the Democratic ticket will simply be an
alias (orßucifley. It is the * Boss ' who will
run for each and every office, an I he, as the
Democratic Czar, simply concedes certain
members of th« party the privilege of see
ing their Dames on the ballots in c « sidera
tiuii of their paying a share of his campaign
expenses. No, 1 am no) a candidate this
year, and in fact 1 do not think it is a good
year for Buckley Democrats."
Another question that is puzzling the
Democrats a candid ite. Pond's sudden de
velopment "I immaculate qualities of ftates
iii ul, p. It is a : t, and one that no at
tempt lias ever l>ecn made to deny, that
candidate Find owe- his nomination to the
manipulations ot Boss Buckley from the

unquestionably is as mild a mannered man
as ever ran lor office or shaved a vote, has
the conge assumption to claim that ho is
better than the party who gave him the
Domination for Governor. Democrats," how
ever, a b asking, if he is superior to hi* poli
tical ereat r. now can he present the
Buckley Democrats? If. on th- other hand,
candidate Pond represents the Buck ley party,
liow can he repres nt the c tiz t.s of Cali

candidate Pond better than his party t

Offensive Dictation.
The Republicans baying at their State
Convention declared most emphatically
against anything that savors of bossism, the
local members of the party do not taka
kindly to the attempts of Mike de Young to
dictate candidates to the Municipal conven
tions. Anything that hears the most minute
taint of boss-rule is quietly resented by the
Republicans, and the friends of 'Wendell
Easton, who have been advancing his claims
to the oflice of Mayor, now regret that Ins
name .should have been even in the slightest
degree associated with the feeble crack of
He Young's imagtnaiy political whip.

AU the Speakers.
Metropolitan Hall was filled to overflow
ing last night upon the occasion of the mass
meeting called by the committee of one
hundred of the Free Press Defense Associa
tion to denounce the action of the courts in
the Barry contempt case. If there had been
a suspicion entertained in any quArter that

UODEBATE COUNSEL.
J. F. Swilt was then introduced to tho
meeting as the first speaker. In the course
of an able address he stated that he was not
tin-re to abuse the judiciary, but he believed
that the lan which was good enough for
Federal Judges ought in be good enough for
State Judges, and that the courts of Cali
fornia should have no right to confound the
law of libel with the law of contempt,
Neither should the law bo any Greater for
the judge in the tribunal than for the
humblest individual in the walks of life, anil
if liberty of the press and freedom of speech
are to be upheld, the people must demand
from the Legislature the enactment of a law
similar to that of lie Federal Government.
The Secretary, John A. Maynartl, at this
stage cad a number of communications
consisting of telegrams from Perl Bluff and
San Jose condemning the courts and con
gratulating Mr. Harry. Letters of regret
were also read from Dr. J. \\. Moliere,
President Valentine of the Molders' Union,
from the Council of Federated Trades of
sauta Clara County, and fiom Alfred Pen
nington of Typographical Union, No. 21.
The reading of the communications was
accompanied with applause.
Eugene Deuprey was introduced as the
next speaker. In opening he alluded to his
friendship with all the Judges before whom
the Barry contempt was brought, and lor
each he had a word of praise. All of th-ni
lie said were honorable men and bad trans
lated the law as they found it This law, lie
admitted should be immediately amended
and It behooved every good citizen to go to
tin- ballot-box mid see that only such good
men were sent to the legislative halls as
would give the relief required.
DELEGATES WELCOMED.
Just as T. V. Cator was introduced! the
delegates from the Federated Trades entered
tne ball in a body and received an ovation
on ili.'ir way tn the stage, where they took
seats with the Vice-Presidents- Alter quiet
was restored Mr. Cat >r resumed his address,
in which he took occasion to congratulate
all present tot their presence, it proves,
he said, that the hearts of the American
people are 6ound to the core, and that they
are as determined as their ancestors ever
were to defend liberty at any price. After
condemning tiie law for contempt as defined
in the 15 .rry case he paid Ids compliments to
tho inch in the following language: "In
1826 Judge Prck imprisoned a man for
twenty-four hours for the same reason as
Mr. Barry was Imprisoned. In spite of
every effort to prevent it the lower House of
Congress ordered his impeachment by a vole
of I_3 to 40, and charged that his act was to
the subversions! the liberties of the rcoole
of the United States. The whole nation wits
aroused, and (.'unstress passed an act, at
once forbidding the Judges of the United
States from ever again punishing anyone
for matters spoken or written beyond the
court, except by indictment and after a jury
trial. This is the law of the land, and the
true rule of construction in all the States.
For sixty year, it has been found sufficient
to uphold the dignity of all the courts of
the United States.
JUDGES -CORED.
" But," he added, "the power of mammon
and corporations has tisen to a great height
in California, and I desire to ask our Judges
a few questions, in all candor: Is It not true,
that there have been corrupt Judges, both
in England and America? Were not Ber
nard, Cardozo and McCunn in New York
Impeached, and did not Westbrook die
pending impeachment proceedings? Did not
the press of New York boldly and fear
lessly charge their crimes upon these Judges,
and do tbey not frequently charge mal
feasance, Ignorance ana corruption upon
the bench? Was it ever heard in New
York that they could be muzzled
or thrown into prison without jury trial for
this? Have not such publications done
go. rattier than barm? How are bad and
venal Judges ever to be impeached, if the
press may not arouse the people by sitting
forth their offenses ? ls it not enough that
If an editor falsifies he may be tried and
punished? Is he to be imprisoned the mo
ment he raises his voice, by Judges, with
out jury trial? What, then, can ever
destroy bad Judges. It is known that
there are Judges who are put on
the bench by cori orations under a tacit
agreement, to decide cases in their
favor. Judges arc nothing but men, and
some of them are upon the Bench as mere
agents cf wealthy corporations. The right
to point out these evils must not be denied.
If courts deny this right, they will be the
persons who are lawless, and who bring
trouble by overthrowing law and order.
They pursue a bad course when all good ami
intelligent men are seeking to allay the
growing antagonisms of this period.
. the resolution's! .
After the enthusiasm which greeted Mr.
Gator's words bad abated Mr. Mauzer moved
the following resolutions:
Wiiikfas, On Ihe .'iDtli day of September,
188-, James li. Barry was bi ought befoie the
Superior Court of the City aud County of Ban
Fiaucisco, California, for an alleged contempt,
for publishing a criticism of a judce, F. W. Law
ler; and said Hairy llieieupou demanded his
constitutional right of a trial by jury, aud olleied
to prove bis charges as published by Mm. and
the Judges presiding refused such a trial, ami
announced that ihe truth was nut a defense, and
llieieuoou Minimal iiy ordered said Barry lobe
iiiii.ilsoiicd and lined; aDd whereas, upon the
1 111) day of September, 1890, Judges Thornton,
J'alierson, Works, Fox and McFarland of the
Supreme Court continued such doctrine, alter
keeping the case over eight months, by a decision
wlihoui cubic a single authority; now, tbei store,
bell
Resolved, By ihe citizens of San Francisco, In
mass-meet inn assembled, in defense of liberty:
That the doctrine asserted In this case Is a de
fiance of the laws and Constitution of California,
and of the Culled Stales; a direct subversion of
t.ie Constitution; a deadly assault upon the
guaranteed libeiiles of the people of the United
Mates, and without legal or moral foundation,
aim on a oar with the despotism of Russia,
where men are, in like manner, hurried to prison
without ii nil, and tenders Ihe whole peep c sub
ject to imprisonment at any hour without trial
01 opportunity lo piove the truth, for criticism or
a J mice;
Resolved, That the Act of Congress of March
31, 1831, passed for the purpose of preventing
the Judges of Hie Culled States from ever deny
ing a jury trial for mailers spoken or written ota
Judge oil' of court, and which for sixty yearn has
been found sufficient to protect all the United
States courts, and which is so plain as to leave
no room for Judges lo destroy liberty uuder the
color of eunslrulug law, should be immediately
substituted In place of Section 1209 of the Code
of civil l'roceduie of California, and wo demand
Eiich action by the next Legislature.
Resolved, That ihe action of Hie Court In sub
vening the laws and i lie Constitution and Ibe
liberties of the people lender those who have
thus acted forever unwoithy of public trust or
confidence In public office, and we direct this as
sociation to urge all mess associations, and all
other associations of freemen hi this State, and
In all ibe States, to everywhere, and at all nines
and places, oppose them in any lion to obtain
any Judicial position or any oflice.
.'■ The resolutions were - adopted with a
tewptest of ayes, and were declared carried
unanimously..- . , ■ ■ ■ :-.- .-
Alfred Fuhrman then made a vehement
address- in defense of free speech and lib
erty of the press.
In response to loud calls lor "Barry,"
James 11. Barry came forward and received
a rousing welcome. He made a lensthy
speech declining the praise which had been
De-towed upon him during the evening, and
told his hearers that if that were deserved
by any one it was by his wife, who had so
nobly sustained him dining his con
flict with the courts. Thereupon three
cheers and a tiger were given with
a will for the good lady. Mr. Barry
afterward invited ull who wished to learn
his opinion of the Judges to meet him at
Pythian Hall on Sunday, where he would
be glad to accommodate them.
Charles A. Sunnier followed in a speech
upon the liberty of the press.
After a few remarks by Joseph Legget the
meeting was adjourned.
EAKItY RELEASED.
There Cao l!e Vio Imprisonment for a
lit ■iiti.il Fins.
In deciding tho habeas corpus case of
James 11. Barry yesterday morning, Judge
Van Keynegom said that if this were the
first appearance of the point involved he
would prefer to remand the prisoner, in
order '.hat he might present his case before
the Supreme Court. Where a matter of
this character is involved in legal doubt one
Judge of the Superior Court should not be
placed in a position where it will be neces
sary for him to interfere witb the ruling of
another Judge of the same court.
"But," added the Judge, "the case of
Rosenheim, decided by the Supreme Court,
is so directly conclusive of the case now
presented as to leave no room for doubt..
Tne judgment of the trial court was that
Rosenheim should serve one year in the
County Jail and pay a fine of SlObo, and that
in default of the payment of that fine ho
should be Imprisoned until the sum be satis
lied, at the rate of one day for each dollar.
In passing upon the point the Supreme
Court said: 'lite code nowhere expressly
provides for imprisonment and tine coupled
with imprisonment until tim hue be paid,
alter the expiration of the fixed term ot im
prisonment.' " ■".'_'.'
The Judge calls attention to the lact that
this is the Urst instance where the question
involved was brought squarely belore the
Supreme Court, and that ever since its
decision Judges of the Superior Court have
been called upon to discharge prisoners held
under similar Judgments previously ren
dered. "When the Supreme Court has
given its ruling," continued Judge Van
Keynegom, "clearly enunciation: a principle
of law, ills the dutyot the Judges of the
Superior Court to follow in such ruling.
In the words of tlio lion. Judge Wallace, in
his able exposition ol the law of contempt
iv this petitioner's case: 'it is expected
that the Superior Court aud its Judges will
decide in consonauco with tile views of the
Supreme Court so far as such views are
known.'
" The right ot a court to protect its dig
nity and enforce its ordeis by punishment
lor contempt is a necessary "and Inherent
right which does uot depend upon legisla
tion for its axistence. It is a common-law
right 'existing Independent of statutory
provisions. But when the Legislature
adopts laws designating what classes of acts
constitute contempt and prescribing the
measure of punishment the courts are bound
by the limitations of the Legislature. As
has been aptly said by Mr. Justice Harris
ol the High Court ol ___TO_S and Appeals of
Mississippi:
" ' The power to fine and imprison for con
tempt from the earliest history of Juris
prudence has been regarded as a necessary
incident and attribute ol a court, without
which it could no mote exist thau without a
judge. it is a power Inherent in all courts
of record and co-existing with them by the
wise piovisons ol the common law. A
court without the power effectually to pro
tect itself against the assaults of the law
less, or to enforce its orders against recusant
parties before it, would bo a disgrace to the
legislation and a stigma upon the age whicli
invented it.'
" lv tins State our Supreme Court, by its.
interpretation of Section 1218, C. C. P., in
ex-patte Crillindon, stands committed to the
ruling that w Iter, a fine is imposed for con
tempt the paity may be imprisoned lor non
payment of the line. But tins decision does
not conflict with the later case of Kosen
heiui, as the imprisonment for non-payment
oi in- line was not in the case of Cniteiidc::
added to a tei m oi Imprisonment."
The prisouer was ordered discharged from
custody. Section l'Jlb of the Code of Civil
Procedure, referred to iv the above decision
and upon which the court based Barry's pun
ishment, reads as follows:
Upon the answer and evidence ______ the court
or Judge must let mine wl.eiher the person pi o
cei-deu against is guilty ol tl.ccoulcuioi charged,
and II It be _ judged that he is guilty of the con
tempt a Hue may lie Imposed on bun not exceed
ing .500, or he may he lmptisoued not exceeding
live days or Loin.
Tne effect of the Supreme Court's ruling
in the Rosenheim Case was to wipe out the.
two last" wolds ot this section. Punishment!
for an offense (not a.'oue contempt, may be
either Imprisonment or Cue, where the law
reads as it does in this case, but not both.

FEDERATED TRADES.
Trouble With tho Early Closing
Movement.
Preparations Made to Boycott the South San
Francisco Brewery— Shoe-Stores
Under ths Ban.
The Council of Federated Trades could
not transact the usual amount of business
last night, on account of having decided to
attend the mass-meeting of the Free-Press
Defense Association.
Complaint was made that the National
Brewery is still using Wellington coal, and
it was proposed to hasten the boycott
against that institution. i~: ;T£.
f An objection was raised to sncb|summary
proceeding, however, because the National
Brewing Company had shown that it is
under contract with Dunsmuir & Sons to
accept coal until Way 1, 1.91, and that a
breach of that contract meiint a forfeiture
of SIOOO.
Some declared the contract to be only a
" fake " to avoid the wrath of the Federated
Trades. But since the representations made
had every appearance of good faith, the
council felt called upon to credit them until
the contrary is proven.
The charge was made that the South San
Francisco Brew cry persisted in using Duns
muir coal and Delegate Finnerty gave notice
that in one week he would move to declare
a boycott on that establishment.
Another delegate suggested that the
National be included in the motion, but
the Chairman ruled adversely, explaining
that the__fedemtion could not afford to take
any such action at present.
The Executive Committee was instructed
to look into the charges in relation to the
" faked " contract of the National Brewing
Company.
I.OS ANGELES FEDERATION.
The Los Angeles Federation sent word
that a constitution and by-laws had been
ado). ted by that body, and with slight alter
ations are the same as those governing the
San Francisco body. The word "unions"
had been changed to " organizations," in
order that the Knights of Labor might be
admitted.
'I he credentials of Delegates F. Friebel
and D. S. Durkes, representing Carpenters'
and Joiners' Uuion, No. 304, were received
and the delegates seated.
The committee having in charge the Wel
lington coal boycott and other matter refer
ring to it i (-purled that about all the satis
faction that could be had of Dunsmulr was
that he is only working his men eight hours
a day and that he would not recognize the
union.
A long discussion was indulged In rela
ting to the retail shoe clerks 7 o'clock
clo.'ing movement, and one of the delegates
from that body named three firms that per
sisted in breaking faith with the association,
tin i that unless they are kept in line all the
oilier stores refuse to be bound by the agree
ment. He asked that the federation declare
a boycott on the refractory firms.
Secretary Buslmell said be and others of
the Executive Committee had called on
these firms, and indeed all the retail shoe
firms with which the association has been
working, and it was his belief that a 7
o'clock closing movement, at least until
alter the holidays, would be entirely out of
the question. Seven o'clock the proprietors
would not agree to— unless, of course, the
movement became general ; but an _ o'clock
movement he believed would be practi
cable, and advised the shoe clerks to agree
upon that hour for the sake of harmony and
for lack ol anything better.
THE CLERKS TKOTEST. .
The shoe clerks' delegates protested, de
claring tbey have been working sixteen
hour-, until it seemed as though they could
not stand it any longer. They asked for a
two hours' reduction, Mad planted their ex
istence as an organized body on that basis,
aud they did not think a modification would
be ton.ent?d to. It had been discussed at
length time and time again, and 7:3- was
the very outside limit that would be listened
to by any one.
The opinion of the council was very much
divided as to the possibilities of the? o'clock
movement. Some thought that the desired
hour could be attained as well as a later
hour, and that all that is necessary would be
a little energy and determination on the
part of the clerks themselves. Il was tinally
decided to declare a boycott on Cohnreich,
and in all probability Descalso & Frank
will be the next victims.
Since the council had decided to attend
the mass-meeting at Metropolitan Hall,
further business was interrupted by ad
journment, and bended by the Chairman it
marched out of the assembly-room In twos,
and up Mission street to the meeting.

During the week a telegram received in
this city announced the destitute circum
stances of the widow and family of the into
General Fremont. Yesterday Judge Silent
of Los Angeles, to whom the telegram was
addressed, arrived in this city, end he, iv
an interview last evening, reaffirmed the
news, which to many was a surprise.
" Yes," said he, " Airs. General Fremont
and her daughter are iv a really destitute
condition. Their Immediate needs are be
ing met by fin ir friends at Los Angeles, but
that must necessarily be temporary. The
ladies if that city have organized to aid in

mittee ol five, of which Mrs. Senator J. P.
•Junes is Chairman, to devise ways and raise
the means for the future.
"They propose to interest in behalf of
the Fremont family the Pioneers and Native
Sons, more especially the Pioneers, who are
expected to take the matter up and provide
for their condition. The family deserves
every assistance. Mrs. Fremont is a daugh
ter of Senator Benton of Missouri, the author
of 'Tliiity Years in Congress.' lie it was

When the matter was first spoken of sev
eral days since. the Native Sons, at least a
few of the most prominent of their order,
were interviewed. They all disfavored

that the Pioneers first and the Legislature

THEY LYNCHED BILL SMITH.
A Western Town's Ungrateful Treatment
of Its _____________
"I remember," said the Colonel when the
party reached the end of a good dinner and
the waiters stood behind the chairs with
lighted matches, "I remember an m ident
which stamped upon my mind the fact that
when a man has an eye for business he has
eyes for nothing else."
The Colonel tells a story well, and paused
here, says the New York Tribune, waiting
for the cignrs to be lighted and for the in
spiring fragrance of the Havana*.
"I shall not tell you bow long ago it was,
for I am getting too old to speak lightly of
decades. But when 1 first .sot foot— it was a
tenderfoot, let me say— in Hugo, Colo., lat
once conceived a great respect for a man
named Higgins. I could not help feeling a
reverence for Higgins. Higgins was an un
dertaker. lie was the only undertaker within
a hundred miles, and he was getting rich.
Never a day passed but my friend Higgins
had a funeral on hand. He was the most
cheerful undertaker, perhaps, that ever flour
ished.
"1 remember well the day that I hade
Higgins good-by. He was as light-spirited
as a grasshopper, and a thousand times ex
pressed his regret that I was going into the
interior until 1 felt clammy lest he might be
grieved at the thought that some one else
might have the profitable job of burying me.
"When I next saw Higgins it was after a
two years' experieuce of chasing wild steers.
I was glad to see him, be was such a jolly
old undertaker.
'• 'Hello, Higgins!' 1 said cheerfully, when
I walked into his establishment. 'How are
you, old man?'
"Higtiius shook his head mournfully, and
then I slopped short in amazement, for I
saw that he was nailing down boxes and
packing up his stock.
" 'Yuu aren't gDing to move, are you?' I
cried in surprise, but he only jammed a roll
of crape into a dry-goods box aud went on
with his work.
" 'See here, Higgins,' 1 cried, 'what's the
trouble? Tell me about it.'
"The old man turned on me wrathfully.
"I'Aint 1 been one o' Hugo's best citizens?'
he asked, sternly.
" ' You have, Higgins.'
"'Ain't I paid my taxes?'
'"You have, my friend.'
"'Didn't 1 organize a Board of Educa
tion?'
'"You did.'
" ' Wasn't I its President "
"'You ccrtainlv were, and a good one,
although we haven't any school yet.'
"'Didn't I head the citizens movement
for law and order?'
'You diil, Higgins?'
" 'Well, that's all. Now, how do you think
this pesky town has treated its loremost cit
izen ?'
" "fell me, Higgins. You have mv sym
pathy.'
" ' Well, I wasn't makin' a decent livin'. I
let out contracts for the only brick building
ill the town.' •-.
"'Yes.'
•' ' I was soin' to call it the Higtins Block.
I was giin' to let the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment have rooms in my block ior uothin'. I
proposed to have a temperance union in the
town. I hoped to have a free library. You
know I'm a progressive citizen, don't you?'
'"You are, Biggins.'
" 'Well, what do you think this town has
done to me?'
'* 'Surely nothing bad, Higgins.'
'"Nothing bad!' be screamed. 'Do you
know what they've date? They've lynched
Bill Smith, and if ever there was a cowardly
blow aimed at a foremost citizen, it was that.'
" 'But you can bury him, Higgins.'
"'Bury himl' he screamed. 'Bury him!
Bury Bill Smith! Why, man. Bill Smith was
makin' a fortune lor inc. He killed his man
as regular as the sun went down; and 1
buried every one of 'em. lie was worth 825
a day me, he was. So I'm tioin' to leave
'em. This town don't offer no inducements to
an honest man like me. Think what I've
done for 'em. I was coin* to erect a monu
ment to our departed brothers. And now
there wont be a death in this town once a
month. Poor Bill!' and Htaiae seized a
winding- sheet and tried to stifle his sobs."—
