PUBLISHED BV The Herald Printing Company. At Two Dollars Per Annum. OSKALOOSA? December 6,1888. WITH SUPPLEMENT. —Mr. Blaine has been offered the ed itorship of a leading New York maga zine. —Senator Farwell aptly describes Gen. Harrison as a man with ‘‘a big head and a close mouth.” —The Creston Gazette reports that SSOO per month is thrown away in that city on the Louisiana lottery. —Grandpa Thurman looks over his spectacles in a very decided way when he says he will never again run for any office. —Private-secretary llalford, besides being an editor, is a pious man, and sometimes fills a vacant pulpit. He is a Methodist, and something of an exhorter. —Congressman Burrows, of Michi gan, is the only candidate who has yet begun an active canvass for the Speak ership. He is an able man and would fill the chair well. —Gen. Sherman objects to ex-Con federates in the diplomatic service. He thinks we should “keep the people over there educated up to the fact that we crushed the rebellion.” —Mrs. Gen. Sherman cared little for general society, and spent her time in church and benevolent work. She was a woman of strong character and trained mind, and was a devout Cath olic. —Even in the South the Prohibition vote was largely short of the promises. Ou the Presidential ticket ouly 614 Prohibition ballots were cast in Ar kansas, 583 in Alabama, and 218 iu Mississippi. —Mr. John Seydell, of lowa City, has been a very enthusiastic supporter of Harrison. Now comes Mrs. Seydell, presenting twin babies, boy and girl, who have been named promptly, Benja min and Carrie. —The Atlantic Constitution hopes the Democratic managers will not talk any more about carrying any of the Northwestern States. The Republi can gains in this section are over 50,- 000 votes more than in 1884, and are on the advance. —The Anamosa Eureka says the new prison for women convicts will be ready for occupancy during the month. It is a very complete building, 60 by 140 feet, and three stories high. The only bad thing about it is the need for such a thing in lowa. —The United States has the distinc tion of having the best record of any nation on the number of desertions from the army. The average is one nan out of every tenon the rolls. This shows an inclination for peace among our people, that’s all. —Central University, at Pella, sus tained a severe loss in the death of President L. A. Dunn, who died sudden ly of apoplexy at his home Thanks giving day. He was 72 years old, but had great vigor. The remains will be buried at his old home in Vermont. —The official vote in New York is this: President. Governor. Republican 650,314 631,323 Democrat 635,959 650,546 Prohibitionist 80,127 30,213 Harrison led Cleveland 14,355, while Hill led Miller 19,223. -Globe-Democrat: “The New Jersey Prohibitionists, by superhuman exer tions, succeeded in putting the free whisky Democracy into power in the Legislature of that State, thus insur ing the repeal of all the temperance legislation enacted by theßepublicans.” —There would seem to be a “Senator ial combine” about the new Cabinet scheme, as arranged by the several slates made up. Ohio lias several fa vorite sons who want to get John Sher man safe out of the way in the Cabi net. And some other states have the same sort of favorite sons with tbe same end in view. —Senator Allison has been the guest of Gen. Harrison during the week. It iB surmised that his interviews with the President-elect are the most im portant that have taken place, but his silence is as eloquent as usual, and the most mosquito-like of all the corres pondents have not been able to pro voke him into giving any thing out. —The Republicans will certainly be in control of the next House, though by a less majority than was hoped. The precise figures cannot be teckoned because of several contested elections, but it is likely to be between six and twelve majority. This will give the Republicans an actual working strength, as well as making them re sponsible for legis’ative results. —The defeat of woman suffrage in the Vermont House, by the overwhelm ing vote of 192 to 37. is attributed to the influence of women who opposed it. The N utmeg sisterhood needs prodding, but then this is very nearly the case in every other State. If women ev erywhere earnestly asked for the right of suffrage, it would not be long until it would be granted. Men are disposed to yield to the proper claims of women in this as in most other things. —Some of Gov. Larrabee’s friends are pressing him to consent to be a candidate for Senator Allison’s place in the Senate. It would be a loss to lowa not to have Senator Allison re main where he is, and where he can easily remain so long as he chooses. Gov.

The last is Kansas, who wants Hon. Thos. A. Osborne made Secretary of the Interi or because Kansas is the banner Re publican State of the union.

He says the anti-rail road element supported the old com mission, including Col. Dey, as an en dorsement of the commission’s aggres sive policy, while the railroads sup ported Dey also; that the prohibition ists opposed him because he was not in sympathy with their partisan work, and the anti-prohibitionists opposed him because of his prohibition views, and lastly, because of bogus tickets, and the feeling that the railroad commis sion should be non-partisan. —ln connection with cabinet talk it is recalled that Abraham Lincoln made up his cabinet, substantially as it stood, iu the telegraph office in Springfield, on the night of the 6th of November 1860, while waiting for the election returns. He stayed there almost alone with the operators until an early hour iu the morning, and the result of his vigils was the selection of the following cabinet: For Secretary of State—William H. Seward, of New York. For Secretary of the Treasury—Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio. . For Secretary of War—Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania. For secretary of the the Navy—Gideon Welles, of Connecticut. For Secretary of the Interior—Caleb B. Smith, of Indiana. For Attorney General—Edward Bates, of Missouri. For Postmaster General—Montgomery Blair, of Marylaud. All accepted aud were confirmed. At onetime Mr. Seward, fearing certain dominating influences over Mr. Lin coln, withdrew his acceptance, which his chief would Dot listen to.

In reply to the question whether the Senate bill would pass the House, he said: “That, no one knows. The principle upon which it is to be constructed being agreed on, the details become a mat ter of adjustment and compromise. No tariff bill can pass the House dur ing a short session that does not meet the approval of its recognized leaders. A minority of Democrats might favor the Senate bill, which, with the Repub licans, would constitute a majority of the House, yet, without the consent of the Speaker, the majority of the Ways and Means Committee and the majori ty of the party in power in the House, they could not get the question before the House. —The most notable portion of Mr. Clarkson’s Tippecanoe address, the other night, strong and terse as it was all the way through, was this follow ing utterance relating to the work of the coming Administration and the future of the Republican party: 1 iirmly believe that in the wisdom of God the problem of pacifying the country, and making the American peo ple one, has now been given back to the Republican party. With it comes the admonition that, magnanimous as the party has been heretofore, magnani mous as the Union soldiers have been, and their magnanimity and sacrifice can only be typified by the cross as a symbol of fidelity and sorrow, still more magnanimity must be shown. .Never for the time of the quickest heart beat must this nation forget its duty to the Union soldier. From his heart, and from the gratitude of the Union to him, must be measured all that we are to do, and every wound that ingratitude has laid upon him, and every indignity that has been offered to him, and every in difference shown him, must all be healed now with the boundless meas ure of a nation’s renewed gratitude. For this victory was one along the line of a blue color. It is a Union soldier’s victory. Indeed, it is the victory of the Union army, lost four years ago, given back again. The counsel of the Union soldier must lead, and a Union soldier is in the chair of the state and at the helm. But better is it for the south that it is to be dealt with by these most generous of men. I have often thought that if this vexed problem could be left to the private soldiers of the Union and the Confederate armies, instead of to the politicians, if would be settled, and settled with the great possible wis dom. It is to be a Union soldiers’ set tlement, and their last and best gift to their country. The south knows not what is coming, but it ought to know that it is to be a settlement of peace and good will. It has oppressed the black peo ple until it is now haunted by the fear of an insurrection. The North will remove this fear. It will not re call John Randolph’s terrible image of “the night bell tolling for fire,” when the South feared negro insurrection just as it professes to fear negro domi nation to-day. Instead, I believe and hope that the settlement will be on the basis of recognizing the Southern peo ple as a part of the American family whose good will and friendship are sincerely desired. The South is ready for the Republican party now. Its in terest in protection is even greater than that of the North. Onlv the Re publican party can thus aid its mater ial interests. This gives a bond of union and settlement. lam a firm be liever that all questions among nations as well as men can be settled. I be lieve that the beginning of this settle ment is here. What it will be none are now wise enough to tell. It is safe to say that it will be a settlement giving Republicans their rights, and securing them in the ballot, and in all the privi leges of citizenship. It is safe to say it will be a settlement by which Georgia will not be able to elect ten Congressmen by a smaller vote than we in this district elect one Congress man. The greater force will rule, but it will rule wisely and kindly. “The plank must bend to the ship, not the ship to the plank.” Yet the ship in the end will, let us pray to God, carry as a happy crew the united American peo f>le. Let us hope that this is true, and et us devote all the good that we have in ns to the wish that we are in our time to pacify our country and make all Americans brothers.

Mr. Powderly has again been chosen as the head of the Knights of Labor by the handsome endorsement of a vote of 114 to 27. The troubles of the order have weeded out a large part of the disturbing element, aud Mr. Pow derlv will now'have a better chauce to carry it on to good result than he had before. The decrease in member ship will also be a benefit. The order had grown unwieldy, aud its useful ness was threatened by the quarrels and ambitious of those within its own ranks. Then, too, the tendency of its rulings was growing arbitrary, partic ularly in localities, and most men can be dominated over only about so far. If an organization is worth anything it is an aid to the betterment of man’s condition, u <t as a curtailment of that personal liberty which is justly es teemed his dearest privilege. It is a serious que.qi m !e>w far an order has a right to go iu compelling men to liy down their tools, in the face of domes tic want and hunger, for the puipose of enforcing certain alleged principles not otherwise .nipoitaut. It is so easy to run to txtiemes in all fraternal bod ies. It is so ea yto start out on a prin ciple that is fail and just and, advanc ing on ground that seems all the while perfectly firm and logical, to bring up at length to the very limit of fanati cism. Everybody does this to some extent constantly in private opinions, and has to be continually overhauling his ideas and readjusting them to the plane of good seuse and just judg ment. This is the fatal danger of all organ izations. A secret society, with the noblest aims aud highest ultimate ends, may so enlist a man’s enthusiastic feel ing as to infringe upon the more seri ous duties of business and the social .demands of family life. There are good men and women who carry their mistaken religious zeal to au extent that darkens the sunshine of home and dwarfs the mure generous instincts of the human heart. There are men who permit the glare of political life to outshine the truer and steadier radi ance of the hearthstone,—and women who lay upon the altar of social van ity or public agitation all the geniality and energy of which they deprive their homes. Thus amid thedeinands of tin nation, of the state, of the town, of so ciety, of the church, and of the multi tude of organizations which includes nearly everybody in their various mem bership, the purely private capacity of the citizen and his distinctly private obligations and preferences are in dan ger of being hopelessly crushed be tween the upper aud nether millstones of public requirement. It is not nec essary to narrow our energies to recog nize the proper bounds of public and private claims. It is not necessary to restrict the usefulness of au organiza tion iu order that its power be held withiu due limitation. All that is nec essary is to hold in check the tendency of all bodies to be dominant and to ar rogate a control over their members that is stifling and unjust to higher claims. WHAT IT COST, Mr. Depew stated some days ago that the presidential campaigu of the past four months had cost the countiy five hundred millious of dollars ! This was startling, since it had no beanug on the merely direct expenses of the campaign, but comprised only the loss to the business world from the shrinkage in the domestic commerce and industries of the country. He based the state ment on the estimate that the general business for four mouths would amount to five billions of dollars, and that ten per cent of this was undoubt edly stopped by the uncertainty and disturbance caused by doubt as to the result. It is a relief to find evidence, in so careful an authority as Bradstreet’s, that the president of the New York Central Railway, sagacious and bril liant a man as be is, has been led into error in this respect. In the first place it corrects Mr. Depew’s estimate of the business volume of the country, it says for the four months covered by the presidential campaign this will amouut to twenty billions of dollars at the low est possible calculation, instead of five billions, and that according to Mr. Depew’s ten per cent estimate the loss must have been two billions. It then starts out with an examination of the monthly totals of bank ck ariugs for the four months ending in October, anti finds that so far as these are an indica tion of trade there was a marked iu crease of %% per cent over the same period in 1887. It shows further that for the same period the lumber trade has been unusually active; the vol ume of sales of wool and cotton, and woolen and cotton goods has increased, as compared with the like four months in 1887, and demand is good and prices are higher; the sales of coal and coke are the heaviest kuowu: the grocery trade, and boots and shoes have been active; the growth of small factories and metal-working establishments throughout the south and west has been conspicuous; the volume of rail way traffic ha 3 been heavy, though cut rates have given decreased earnings; and that as a whole up to two weeks be fore the election, general trade was not seriously affected by the political dis tractions of the country. Bradstreet's guess is that the loss to business would not reach five millions of dollars, which is less alarming, aud more likely to be true to the facts. CAUGHT iy A GEYSER. Bismarck, Dak., Nov. 26.—A thrill ing report of an accident or attempted suicide comes from the National Park, where it is claimed that a driver and a tourist were engulfed in a geyser last week. It appears that the tourist, whose name is given as James McDon ald of London, England, insisted on going close to the Excelsior, a geyser whose eruptions have been irregular of late, determined upon looking into crater of the immense geyser, and the driver, who was also acting as guide, followed him to the bank to guard against accident. Just as the unsus pecting Englishman leaned over the verge of the crater the geyser brokr forth with terrific force, the suction drawing him and thedriver into it and hurling them back into the air many feet. Excelsior Geyser is over 300 feet wide at the crater and throws out the greatest volume of water of any geyser in the park. Fortunately for the men they were caught in the strongest cur rent of the upshooting stream or they would have been swallowed in the un- known depths of boiling water. As it is they were severely scalded, and there are grave doubts of their recovery. Some believe that McDonald intended to commit suicide. This is the second accident of this character in the park, and, while there is not the slightest danger to those who are satisfied with seeing and not investigating, it is un derstood that Congress will be asked to appropriate money for the building of protective walls about these curios ities. Since the attempt of Gen. How ard’s son to commit suicide by jumping over the Yellowstone Falls, which are 865 feet high, the question of erecting railings or protective walls about the different points of interest has been I ______ if itiolJyWllVj BY CHARLES J. BELLAMY. CHAPTER L A PICTURE AND ITS CRITICS. “Let’s take a squint in.” It is on the sidewalk in front of the fine residence of Ezekiel Breton. Surely every body within the length and breadth of a hun dred miles must have heard the name of the wealthy mill owner, whose energy and shrewdness have passed into a byword. The house is brilliantly lighted, and the windows wide open as if to invite the attention and admiration of the humble passers by. Three men, laborers, if coarse, soiled clothes and dull, heavy tread mean anything, have come down the street and now stand leaning against the tall iron fence. “Why shouldn’t we see the show, boys?” continued the long whiskered man, with an unpleasant laugh. “It’s our work that’s pay in’ for it, I guess. How long do you think it would take you, Jack, to scrimp enough to gether to buy one of them candlesticks? Hullo—there’s the boss himself,” and he thrust his hand inside <the iron pickets to point out a portly gentleman whose bald bead was fringed with silver white hair. Mr. Breton had paused a moment before the window. “Come, let’s go on,” urged the man with a clay pipe, edging off a little into the shadow; “he’ll see us and be mad.” “What’s the odds if he does?” and the speaker frowned at the rich man from be tween the pickets. “He can’t get help no cheaper than us, can he? That’s one good pint of bein’ way down, you can’t tumble a mite. But just look at him, boys; big watch chain and gold bowed specs a-danglin’. See the thumbs of his white hands stuck in his vest pocket and him as smilin’ as if he never did nobody a wrong in his whole blessed life. There now is somethin’ purtier, though.” The old gentleman moved unsuspectingly aside and revealed a young girl, large and fair, with great calm blue eyes. She wore a pale blue silk, with delicate ruffles at her half bared elbow and at her neck, kissing the warm white skin. “Well, I suppose my girl Jane might look just as good in such clothes as them. But she wouldn’t no more speak to Jane than as if the girl wasn't human. And as for a poor man, he might pour his life out for her purty face and she wouldn’t give him a look. A few dollars and a suit of clothes makes the odds.” . “What’s she laughin’ at?” said the tall man, taking his clay pipe from his mouth. “Can’t you see? Ther«’s the boystandin’ jist beyond her. Breton’s young hopeful. Nothin’ less than the biggest kind of game for her, I cal’late.” “I never seen him before,” remarked the third man, reverentially. “I s’pose he’ll be our boss some day.” “He’s been to college polishin’ up his wits. Taint goin’ to be so easy as it was to grind the poor. The old man now didn't need no extra schoolin’.” “I aint so sure now,” said the tall man, blowing out a wreath of smoke. “The boy looks more kind about his mouth aud eyes. Bee him look at the girl. I cal’late she don’t think he’s very bad.” “Wait till he gets his heel on the necks of a thousand of us, as his father has. Wait till he fiuds we aint got a penny ahead, nor a spot of God’s earth for our own, but lie at his mercy. Bee how kind he’ll be then. Taint the nature of the beast, BSI Rogers.” Bill Rogers took a long look at the slight form of the mill owner’s son—at his fresh, young face and small, pleasant black eyes. “I wish the lad had a chance. I believe I’d trust him, Graves. Hadn’t we better be startin’? The meetin’ will begin purty soon.” “What’s the hurry? Curran is always late himself. Well, come along, then.” Just now Mr. Breton is leaning lightly on the mantel near one of his pet heirlooms— the siver candelabra. Near him stands a tall, elegantly formed gentleman, only a trifle past middle age, whose clear chiseled mouth has the merest hint of a smile on it, as if he had just said something bright. It was a smile he always wore when he had spoken—a smile with an edge to it. But Mr. Ellingsworth had to make that smile do good service, for he never laughed. The fuuuiest jokes had been told him—the most ridiculous situations described to him—but he only smiled. “What am I going to do with the boy?” Mr. Breton’s voice was always loud and sharp as if making itself heard above the roaring of his mills. “Why, marry him to your daughter the first things Eh! Philip?” first thing." Would she be angry, proud and reserved as she was? Philip shot a furtive glance at Bertha as she sat at the piano idly turning over the music sheets. But the girl might not have heard, not a shade of expression changed in her face. It might as well have been the sources of the Nile they were dis cussing so far as she was concerned, appar ently, but as she pressed her white hand on the music sheet to keep it open, her lover’s eyes softened at the flash of their betrothal diamond. “I should think your hands must be pretty full already,’’ suggested Mr. Ellingsworth in the low smooth tone, as much a part of his style as the cut of his black coat, “with a thousand unreasonable beings down in your factories. And by the way, I hear that Labor is claiming its rights, with a big L As if anybody had any rights, except by accident.” “Skeptical as ever, Ellingsworth,” said the mill owner with all a practical man’s distaste for a thing so destructive to industry. “But no, I get along easily enough with my help if quacks and tramps would only keep out of the way; though there is some kind of an agitation meeting to-night; somebody is raising the mischief among them. I wish I know who it was,” and Mr. Breton looked impatiently around the room as if he hoped to seize the incendiary in some corner of his own parlor. He met Bertha’s blue eyes wide open In m mem interest. She had half turned from the piano, but her sleeve was canght back on the edge of the keyboard, revealing the fair full contour of her arm, which glistened whiter than the ivory beneath it. “A mystery, how charming!" she smiled; “let me picture him: tall, with clustering aubum hair on his godlike head” “Pish—excuse me, my dear—but more likely the fellow is some low, drunken Jail bird you would be afraid to pass on the street. Some day they will find out there is no good making working people uneasy. They want the work, and they ought to be glad the work wants them. Their Interests are identical with our a” “No doubt,” assented Mr. Ellingsworth, in his suavest tones, that seemed too smooth for satire, “but perhaps they think you get too large a share of the dividends.” “You like to round your sentences pretty well,” retorted Mr. Breton, flushing slightly, “but do you mean to say you, of ail men, sympathize with this labor reform nonsense!” Ellingsworth smiled and shrugged his shapely shoulders just visibly. “You ought to know me, Mr. Breton. I sympathize with—nobody. It is too much trouble. And as for the sufferings of the lower classes—they may be very pitiable—but I don't 666 how the nether millstone can help Itself, or for that matter be helped either.” Then he glanced curiously toward the piano. “Why, where are our young people!” After considerable dumb show Bertha had become aware that Philip had some intelli gence of a startling nature to communicate. So it happened that, at the moment Mr. Ellingsworth inquired for them, the young people stood just inside the door of the oosy little room called “the study.” “I am going to have some high fun to* night, Bertha; I am going to|that labor meet ing. I want to see the business from the in side, when the public show isn't going on." The girl looked at him in astonishment, “They won’t let you in." “That’s just where the fun is coming. It Is going to be better than all the college devil try, and—wait here two minutes and HI show you.” Book shelves ran up to the ceiling on the side of the room, opposite the door. A long of fice table stretched acme the center almost to the high window looking toward the street, cut ail tne business associations aid not oppress this elegant young woman, who threw herself iu luxurious abandon into the solitary easy chair. She apparently did not find love very disturbing. No doubt she only smiled at its poems, fervid with a passion un known to her calm, even life. Her young lover had often been frightened at the firm outline of the cold red lips, with never a thought of kisses on them, and at the sprite like unconsciousness of her blue eyes that looked curiously at him when love softened his voice and glorified his face. She was not listening for his returning footsteps, not one line of eagerness or of suspense was on the dispassionate face, while she played with the flashing jewel her lover had placed long ago on her finger. The door opens behind her, but she does not turn her head—no doubt be will come in front of her if he wishes to be—there he is, a slight figure, looking very odd and disagree able in the soiled and ill fitting clothes he has put on, with no collar or cuffs, but a blue flannel shirt open a button or two at his neck. His faded pantaloons were roughly thrust into the tops of an immense pair of cowhide boots which apparently had never been so much as shadowed by a box of blacking. His black eyes sparkle as he holds out to her a bandless felt hat which shows the marks of a long and varied history. Bertha looked at him in dull distaste. What a poor mouth he had, and how unpleasantly his face wrinkled when he smiled. “I wouldn't ever do this again,” she said coldly. A hurt look came into his eyes; he dropped his hat on the floor and was turning dejected ly away. The fun was all gone, and her words and her look he knew would come back to him a thousand times when he should be alone. But she put out her hand to him like the scepter of a queen. “Never mind— you will generally wear better clothes than these, won’t you?” “But I wouldn’t like to have that make any difference,” said Philip, looking wistfully at the cool white hand he held. “Supposing I was poor” She drew her hand away impatiently. If he had known how he looked then, he would have chosen another time for his lover’s fool i almess. “Don’t get poor. I like pretty things and graceful manners and elegant surroundings; that is the way lam made. I should suffo cate if I didn’t have them.” “But,” urged Philip uneasily, “you couldn’t love anybody but me, could you?” She smiled charmingly. “You must not let met” Then she rose as if to dismiss the subject. “Are you all ready?” In a minute more he was, after he had fastened on his yellow whiskers and bronzed over his face and neck and white wrists. “Your own father wouldn’t know youl” she laughed, as they opened the outer door. Philip went down two steps. “You shake the foundation with those boots.” He was quite recovering his spirits, now that she was so kind with him. “And you will tell me all about it, and whether the leader has auburn hair as I said? How long before you will come back—an hour? Wall, I’ll be here as long as that.” He pulled his great hat well down over his eyes and started, but at the gate he turned to look back. Bertha stood in the doorway, tall and queenly, the red gold of her hair glistening in the light like a halo about her head. He could not catch the look in her face, but as she stood she raised her hand to her lips and threw him a kiss with a gesture of ex quisite grace. Iu a moment more he heard her at the piano, and he tried to keep clumsy step to the strain from “La Traviata” that came throbbing after him, CHAPTER IL MASQUERADING. Philip pushed open the door of Market hall and looked in. About sixty men were scattered over the benches in all conceivable positions. A number held pipes between their teeth, filling the room with the rank smoke of the strongest and blackest tobacco, •ere and there two men appropriated a whole bench, one at each end, for a sofa. But more of them were settled down on the small of their backs, with their knees braced against the bench in front. He saw in a mo ment that, though he was worse dressed than any of them, yet there was a difference in kind also. There was more meaning in one wrinkle on their well worn coats than in all his ingenious paraphernalia. He felt asliamed in the presence of these pathetic realities, and turned to go back, but his great boots creaked incautiously. Only two or three looked around; a poor man more or less does not count for much with the poor or with the rich. Two or three grave, worn faces, two or three pairs of tired, hopeless eyes rebuked him unconsciously for the idle freak that brought him there. What right had he there, who came out of curiosity to watch the un healthy symptoms of the disease called pov erty? What an insult to their bitter needs were his mock trimmings, in which he came like one masquerading among • graveyard full of ghosts! “Hold on, friend, ye needn’t go,” and a long whiskered man beckoned to him. He found his way to a seat with a hang dog air, the best piece of acting he had done yet. The same stolid look was on this man’s face, bleached to a settled paleness from the confinement of years in the walls of the mills, and there was a bitterness about the mouth and nostrils as if he had not kissed the rod that smote him. “No call to be shamed, young man. I sup pose them’s the best clothes you got. Your heart may be just as white as if you had a better livin’.” The poor don’t talk except when they have something to say. So Philip said nothing, to act in character. “I suppose you think you’re pretty hard up,” resumed the big whiskered man, who was no other than Graves, the man who had peered into his companion’s parlor window only an hour ago. And he glanced signifi cantly at Philip’s boots and soiled panta loons. “Jest look at that little chap over yonder, all bowed up. He don’t look very hearty, does he? Up to his house there’s a wife all faded and broken, and two little cripples for children, a whinin’ and a screechin’ from morn in’ to-night. He would chop his head off to help them, but he is slow and weak, and don’t git but ninety cents a day, and he can'tgsave them babies a single ache, nor ease their poor misshapen little bones one twinge. It takes every penny to keep the wretched breath in ’em all, and him and his wife, once as purty a gal as ever you seen, has only to stand and see ’em cry. They used to cry themselves, too, but that was long ago." Graves looked about him. “Do you see that lean faced man with the hurt arm, at the end of the seat ye’re on! Well, he’s got the smartest little boy in town. All he wanted was schoolin’, and his father and mother saved aud scrimped so he could have it. You oughter seen how proud they was to see their lad struttin’ off to school while they kept a thin kin' of him all day long in the mill And they was never too tired to hear the boy tell them over the hard names he had learned. And then they would tell the neighbors, who sometimes got jealous, how they was savin’ every cent and how their boy was goin’ to col lege like old Breton’s son. But there was no call for the neighbors to be jealous; the woman went to work one day when she was sick, and caught her death o’ cold and it took a mint of money to nuss and then bury her. Then the man fell and got hurt and the little boy cried enough to break your heart when they took his books away.” The face of the long whiskered man softened an instant, but he turned his head away. “He needn’t a cried,” he said gruffly; “I don’t know as he was any better than the rest of us.” Now there came a little commotion on the plitform. A mar who sat head and shoulders above the group on the platform rose to his full height like a young giant and came forward. He looked down into the upturned faoes for a moment in silence, and Philip felt his steel blue eyes piercing him like a sword. “Men,” he began. Then he stopped speak ing a moment “Yes, men you are, in spite of all the degradation the rich and the pow erful can put upon you. The time is coming when the principles of equality vaunted on the pages of so many lying constitutions, and breathed on the lips of so many false tongued demagogues, shall be fully realized. The time is coming when the work ahall not be on one side and the reward on the other. We ahall not always wear rags as the livery at our masters. Not always shall the poor rise early and toil late, wear their skin till it be shriveled like parchment, and their bodies till they be ready to drop into the grave for weariness, only to pluck the fruit of God’s bountiful earth for the lips of the idle and the proud to taste. The gracious favors of ten thousand smiling hills and valleys are gath ered only for the few, and those whose arro- gauceaud hardness of heart have least de served them. And they tell os it must be so; that the few who are more capable and pru dent should thus be rewarded far their superiority. They point to six thousand years’ oppression of the poor, and say what has been must be. Yes, for Ax thousand years the groans of the poor have gone up, and as long the few, for whom alone aUthe beauty and bounty of the great earth cant seemea to expand; ms voice lost its pa thetic tone and rang out like a trumpet. “But the knowledge they have given to make us better slaves is bursting our fetters before their frightened eyes. The astonished people see at last the black and monstrous in justice of their subjection. They have num bered their hosts, as countless as the sands of the sea. It is the strength of their arms has girdled the earth with unceasing streams of wealth. It is the ingenuity of their brains has harnessed each of the untamed forces of nature to service. The infinite number of their cunning fingers has woven the fabrics to clothe Christendom, and their red blood poured out on a thousand battlefields has bought vain triumphs for the pride of their masters.” His lips suddenly curled in majestic scorn. “And how long will your patient, calloused hands build palaces for the great, while you live in hovels! Ought not such strong arms as yours be able to win enough to make one modest home happy, if you were not robbed? The world is full of cheap comforts; the harvests are boundless, the storehouses burst ing, but each worthless pauper has as good a share as you who make the wealth. You cause the increase; your hands till the teeming lands and work the tireless looms. Your shoul ders bow beneath the products of your toil —like muzzled oxen beating out the grain for unpitying masters. Why will you endure it! They tell you it is only right; their books teach gentle submission; their oilytongued speakers soothe you with proverbs and con soling maxims, but all the wise men of cen turies and all the hundred thousand printing presses of today, heaping up books in every language like a new tower of Babel, cannot turn a lie into the truth.” Philip sat leaning forward, his eyes fixed on the speaker in a strange excitement. Cur ran’s words came into his soul like molten fire, consuming the chaff of years and leav ing a path of light behind. He was full of wonder that he had been blind so long, mixed with joy at his new piercing vision. He had forgotten how he had come there, and felt a sudden desire to take the hand of every poor man in the room and pledge him his help. But no one seemed touched as he was. The same hard look was on each face, the mask the poor assume to cover their distress, but the eyes of them all were centered on their orator. “But you are poor, and with your wives and children are hungry for even the crust of bread your masters cast you. Though you were a million to one, you are held to their service, no matter how unjust, by the daily recurring facts of hunger and cold. Look! the fields are white with their harvests, the shops filled with their oloths, but the law makers and their pitiless police are in their pay, and you must bow your meek necks and thank your masters humbly for the trifie their greed vouchsafes you.” Philip’s heart thumped painfully within his faded coat Could the speaker give no hope to the wretched listeners hanging on his lips! Must they cringe forever at the foot of power? Their thin, worn hands made the bread, but it was snatched from their mouths and doled out in scanty allowance as the price of hopeless slavery. He had never seen it before. “Who is heT’ he whispered to his compan ion. The man did not even turn his face from the speaker. “It is Curran. He belongs to the Labor league.” This, then, was the agitator his fa ther spoke of. And Bertha had pictured him rightly, with his clustering auburn hair. For a moment he stood silent, while under the divine light in his eyes the souls of each one ripened for his next words. “Alone you can do nothing, but united we can shake the world, and all over the land the oppressed are balding together. We are weak now, but when the long stifled voice of your wrongs finds utterance, the answering moans of millions will rouse your souls to the resistless martyr pitch. Then it will seem sweet to die—yes, to starve—with your dear ones about you inspired with the same en thusiasm. When the generation is born which dare starve but has forgotten how to yield, and even for the bread of life will not sell its children into eternal slavery, then will the gold of the rich rot worthless in their white hands till they divide with us our common heritage.” He stopped and sat down, and as his en thusiasm faded from his face, Philip saw he was not handsome. The eyes that had seemed so wonderful were too deep seated beneath his heavy brows, and his smooth shaved face was scarred from exposure to sun and storm; yet, while he had been speaking, pity and di vine wrath in turn melting and burning in his eyes and lighting up his rugged cheeks, he had seemed beautiful, like an archangel. The audience sat in silence a moment, then one man shuffled his feet uneasily, then an other, and then all rose listlessly to their feet. Philip thought their zest in life had gone so long ago that they did not even miss it; then he remembered what his life was, bright as a June morning. Did God love him so much better than these weary crea tures, whose only refuge was in hopeless ness? Then he thought of Bertha waiting for him, and he hurried out, glad that he seemed to be escaping notice. Where was the funny adventure he had to tell bis sweet heart? A new world had been revealed to him; a world within the world he had played with, that knew no such thing as mirth, but fed forever on bitter realities, and his little spark of happiness seemed smothered in its black night. Each one must have a family circle of his own. There were hungry eyes that looked to him for the cheer his poor heart was too dead to give. Suddenly a heavy hand was laid on his shoulder. “Praps you aint got no place to go to, friend.” It was his big whiskered compan ion in the hall, Graves. “I sort o’ liked your looks in the meet in’ to-night, and you’re welcome to a bed at my house if you want it.” “Oh, no," stumbled Philip, at his wit's end. “Oh, ao? Why not, then? Where be you goin’ to stay?” and the man took his hand from the young man’s shoulder and eyed him suspiciously. “Why, he wanted to go home and lay off his masquerade forever. Bertha, all radiant in all that wealth can add to beauty, was awaiting him. He had so much to tell her,” but he had nothing to say aloud. “I won’t take no refusal,” insisted the man, taking Philip by the arm. “No words; Jane will get along easy with an extra for once. I presume you’ve slept in wuss places.” [i o be Continued j lowa’s Good Rooord. Dts Moines Register. But two States. Kansas and Pennsyl vania, gave a larger Republican plural ity this year than lowa. A numoer of staunch and steady Republican States, that can alwayß be relied upon to do their duty, come nearly up to lowa, but fall a little below. So that instead of being at the bottom of the column, or half way down, lowa stands almost at the top, and considering what was expected, and what had tobeover come, has perhaps doue better than auy other Slate. At the commence ment of the campaign the opposition was hopeful and enthusiastic. It com bined a number of influences and ele ments all calculated to injure the Re publican party more or less. The P;0- hibitionists began an aggressive c*m paijrn and laid their plans for 10.U00 votes. The disaffectiou over the ex treme railway legislation of the past wiuter was being utilized to the ul mo*t, and was expected to cost the Repub lican party from fifteen to twenty thousand votes. The State was flooded with free trade literature and it was thought by the Democratic managers that the farmers would respond very generally to their alluring ciy of tariff reform. Such eminent free traders as Henry Watterson and Frank Hurd were sent intotheState with theexpec tation that they would give direction to the great land slide which the Dem ocratic managers expected to follow their Free Trade crusade. With all these adverse influences, strength ened by the possession of 'he Federal patronage to contend against, the Re publican outlook was not so very bright when thecampaign opened. While not anticipating defeat, a great many. Re publicans did not look for much ma jority, while tne Democrats confidently hoped at the least to cut the Republi can majority so low as to give them the moral effect of a victory. But de spite all that a united opposition could do,the Republican party came up proud ly to its opportunity and dutv, and car ried the State by almost 32,000 plurali ty. Considering bow little was ex pected, bow much there was to contend against, and bow splendid the results, what other State has done better than Iowa? ’ A New Telephone.—A new kind of telephone has been indented, which is called the stettio telephone; It dis penses with the mouth piece and sound waves such as used by the Beil tele phone and Is operated by the muscular vibrations that accompany the utter ance of words.
