fca it for something for himself or for somebody else f
WOO, In 1908 it was Mr. Kelley who went around the state with
9 lni X. Warner, telling the people what a good governor Warner had
made and soliciting for him a third term.
That is one of the reasons why PATRICK H. KELLEY should never
ha governor of Michigan.
Any man who could stand up before his fellow citisens after two
terms of Warner and say that Warner had made a good governor, is far
from qualified to act in that capacity himself.
He is DISQUALIFIED either way you want to figure it.
He was either blind to the rottenness and corruption of the Warner
administration or he approved of it.
Vo speaking with the interests of his state and his state’s people
it vwiwd, could have approved of Fred M. Warner’s first two terms in the
fall of 1908 any more than he could now approve of Warnerism after the
; revelations of the last few months.
Having championed the cause of Warnerism as Warner’s right-hand
Mfc, Mr. Kelley cannot hope to escape his share of the stigma resting
ngon an administration which has won the banner for its production of
crooks and grafters.
Mr. Kelley should never be governor for having proclaimed Fred M.
Werner to have made a good governor, and further, he should never be
governor because Fred M. Warner is going to support Mr. Kelley for the
emoe.
Michigan is through with Warner, with Warnerism and with all the
man Warner has had around him.
They are going to clean house in Michigan a year from next fall and
fw housecleaning will not be complete until Mr. Kelley, with the rest of
the Warner gang, has been relegated to private life.
The eompany Mr. Kelley has been in alone condemns him and he will
campaign this time on the losing side.
m #• Kelley’i candidacy if not the result of any delegation of citizens
af ptato waiting upon him and appealing to him from bended knees
!• “pliMe be our governor and save the state/'
The idea of being governor originated largely in the minds of Mr.
KeQay and Gov. Warner, with a United States senatorship for the latter
tgiring in the inspiration.
And here is the consideration the people get when the Warners and
the Kelleys oome to the question of the governorship.
Did Warner say to Kelley: “Pat, I wonder how the people would like
yon for governor f
Or did Kelley say to Warner: “Fred, I wonder if the people would
endorse me for governor ?”
They said to each other nothing of the sort.
They didn't consider the people at all, bless your heart.
Thqy did say, though: “We will have to see how the jobholders
ft"
* P* JOBHOLDERS, always, before THE PEOPLE.
Bp tins week the jobholders were sounded.
They were gotten together in Lansing and they were all promised
their jobs again or better ones and the probabilities are that the job
jbsUers were lined up and are already out whooping ’er up for Kelley.
That is the way governors in Michigan have been made in the past.
I’ And some recent governors of the past in Michigan stand as a mighty
strong argument against that way.
That is the Kelley-Warner way.
t Bat that isn’t the way, it happens, that the next governor of this
State is going to be named.
]■: The people are going to render themselves that service next time and
the day of deliverance is at hand.
The next governor of this state will be a Hemans or an Osborn, both

We have faith enough left in the people of this state to believe that
Atap wont MEN in office NOW, instead of politicians, and that they want

The voters who have at last had their eyes opened, Mr. Kelley and
Ijfr. Warner, and are through with both of you.

CHAPTER LXVlll.—(Continued.)
*1 can tell you nothing, sir,” said
Hertx, "except that hts majesty has
g'jue. He requested to oe allowed to
, leave, amt Hen. Martel, after a con
! ml tat ion with Mr. Langley, permitted
I him to go.”
Strong had been pale before with
I cold, hunger and lack of sleep and the
stress of the lighting. Now he was
pale as ashes, for a thought had leapt
Into hts mind which had been absent
1 from the minds of those who had let
the King of balkama go.
He cried "Langley!” In so terrible a
voice that all who heard him ceased
their various occupations and stared
at him.
Langley, hearing his voice, was
frightened, for he had never heard
that tone before, and he came running
over to the fire.
"Yes?” His voice was troubled.
"You have let the king go?" asked
Stroug in a cold rage.
”Yes.” said Langley. "I have. I
consulted with Gen. Martel, and we
considered it the best thing to do.
You see —you see"—
"Yes?” demanded Strong.
"You see,” stammered Langley, "we
were afraid something had happened
to you. We tried to get into commu
nication with you by wireless, and as
we received no answer we were afraid
something had happened.”
"You fool!” 6ald Strong. "Nothing
ever happens to me. But what was
your point, then?”
“If any harm had befallen you,” said
I.angley, "and the news had come
through while the king was In the city,
we should have had considerable trou
ble with him. All the people who had
held aloof from him would have ral
lied round him then, and we should
have had to repeat the work of con
quest.”
“Is that nil you remembered?” ask
ed Strong.
"There seemed to be nothing else,”
mumbled Langley.
"Oh, you shortsighted idiot!" said
Strong between his teeth. "Had you
forgotten Diana?”
Langley’s only answer was "Good
heavens!"
“Don't you see,” Fald Strong, begin
ning to speak rapidly, "that if we had
kept the king here, at least Diana
would be safe? But now that un
speakable cur may possibly wreak ven
geance on his daughter. He cannot
do her any great Injury, It Is true. In
civilised Europe. But what If he
brings private pressure to bear on
her? What If he threatens me with
untold horrors for Diana so long as
I retain ray hold on Bomberg? What
then, you fool, what then?"
"I don’t think” —stammered Lang
ley.
"You never do,” said Strong.
He shook himself and turned away
from the fire.
"Let us hope.” he said, "that It Is
not too late even now to undo the
mischief you have caused.”
He called Arbuthnot, Pelham, and
Wlldney about him.
"I am sorry." he said, shortly, "to
put you to work again after the time
that you have had. but It cannot be ;
helped The king has been allowed
to depart, and It is necessary for me
to immediately go In search of him.
"In all probability considerable dis
satisfaction will be caused In the city
by this, my second departure. To
prevent that dissatisfaction taking any t
practical form, It will be necessary
for you to ascend again In the Victor
at daylight. I shall take the Dl. The
man who goes with me will have the
hardest part. I leave It for one of
you to volunteer.”
Arbuthnot at once stepped forward.
"I will go," he sold. And he said It
cheerfully, although his eyes were
heavy with sleep and his face drawn
with hunger and the cold.

THE DEATH OF HAMILTON.
By Elipholet Nott.
■ *
From a sermon which wo* delivered In Albany. N. Y., on July It,* I*o4.
The fatal Hurr-Hamllton duel occurred ou July 11, ISO 4.
A abort time since, and he, who la the occasion of our Borrows, was
the ornament of his country. He atood on an eminence, and glory
covered him. From that eminence he has fallen—suddenly, forever fallen.
Hie Intercourse with the living world la now ended; and those who would
hereafter And him must seek him In the grave. There, cold and lifeless.
Is the heart which Just now was the seat of friendship; there, dim apd
sllghtless. Is the eye whose radiant and enlivening orb beamed with in
telligence; and there, dosed forever, are those Ups on whose perauaslvs
accents we have so often and so lately hung with transport. From the
darkness which rests upon hia tomb there proceeds, methlnka, a light, in
which it is clearly seen that those gaudy objects which men pursue are
only phantoms. In this light how dimly shines the splendor of victory!
how humble appears the majesty of grandeur! The bubble, which seemed
to have so much solidity, has burst, and we again see that all below the
sun Is vanity. True, the funeral eulogy has boen pronounced, the sad
and solemn procession has moved, the badge of mourning has already been
decreed, and presently the sculptured marble will lift up Its front, proud
to perpetuate the name of Hamilton and rehearse to the passing traveler
his virtues (Just tributes of respect, and, to the llvlug, useful); but to
him, molding In his narrow and humble habitation, what are they?
How vain! how unavailing! Approach aud behold, while I lift £rom
his sepulchre Its covering! Ye admirers of his greatness! ye emulouar-of
his talents and his fame! approach and behold him now! How pale! how
silent! No martial bauds admire the adrlotnesa of his movements; no
fascinating throng weep and melt and tremble at his eloquence! Amazing
change! a shroud! a coffin! a narrow subterraneous cabin—this is all that
now remains of Hamilton! And is this all that remains of Hamilton?
During a life so transitory what lasting monument then can our fondest
hopes erect! My brethren, we stand on the borders of an awful gulf,
which is swallowing up all things human. And is there, amidst this
universal wreck, nothing stable, nothing abiding, nothing Immortal, on
which poor, frail dying man can fasten? Ask the hero, ask the statesman,
whose wisdom you have been accustomed to revere, and he will tell you.
He will tell you. did I say? He has already told you from his death-bed;
and his illumined spirit still whispers from the heavens, with well-known
eloquence, the solemn admonition: “Mortals hastening to the tomb, and
once the companions of my pilgrimage, take warning and avoid my errors;
cultivate the virtues I have recommended; choose the Savior I have chosen;
live disinterestedly; live for Immortality, and would you rescue anything
from Anal dissolution, lay It up In God."

The lands to be opened have been
part of the Couer d'Alene reservation
in Idaho, the Spokane reservation in
Washington, and the Flathead reser
vation in Montana.
There Is not much public land left
and there will, no doubt, be about
three times as many applicants as
there are acres. It should be under
stood that nobody can play the game
without getting on the spot. And
there are other qualifications.
For the benefit of those interest* 1
the correspondent of The Times
has secured from the official In
charge of this matter, namely.
Judge James W. Witten of the
land department, the following state
ment, which is intended to answer all
questions touching these lands, and
how to get them.
"Between July 15 and Aug. 5, all
persons desiring lands In the Flathead
preservation In Montana, the Conor
d’Alene reservation In Idaho, or the
Spokane reservation In Washington,
may go to either Misoula or Kallspeit,
Mont.; to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; or
Spokane, Wash., end register for ths
drawing.
'Any person can register for lands
In either or all of the reservations who
is qualified to make a homestead entry.
All persons are qualified to make
such entry who have not already
made an entry If they are citizens of
the United States or have declared
their Intentions to become cltzen*.
and do not already own more than
160 acres, however acquired. All ap
plications for registration must be
sworn to at one of the pnlntH named,
and any person can register for any
or all of the reservations, but It will
be necessarv for him to go to Kalls
pell or Missoula to register for Flat
head lands, to Couer d’Alene for Couer
d’Alene lands, and to Spokane for
Spokane lands.
“On Aug. % the drawing will begin
for the different reservations at Couer
d'Alene. No particular tract of land
will be assigned to any person, but
the person who draws No. 1 will have
first choice of all the lands In the
reservation for which he draws. No.
2 will have second choice, and so on.
The plan of the drawing is an abso
lutely fair one. After applications
