DEMANDS ON CONGEESS. Chairman Shay, of the committee on legis lation, presented a partial report, the follow ing clauses of which were unanimously 'adopted: The doctrine that the free and inalienable xv^it to life and liberty and happiness includes the equal and inalienable right to the use of the elements from which life must be supported, and a system which compels some citizens to buy from other citizens, the right to till the un occupied soil of their common country, and that permits individuals and corporations to appro priate as their own exclusive property the stores of oil, gas and minerals which the creator has stored beneath it foi common use, and the value of winch the growth of population gives to land occupied bv cities, is a violation of natural jus tice, the inevitable result of which is to enable those who do no work to reach the earnings of those who do, to impoverish the farmer, mechanic and laboier, while enriching the forcstaller and monopolist, and by depriving those who possess onlv the power of labor of any opportunity of making a living for them selves to force them into deadlv competition with each other for the wages which some em ployer is willing to pay. As preparing the wav for the adoption of a better system, we demand measures which shall restore to the people cer tain rights and privileges hereinafter named: FirstWe demand the creation of a system that shall make future generations more than mere tenants at will, so long as there is land Idle that is needed by American citizens to live and ork upon. SecondWe demand the reservation of the public lands for actual settlers only, and that all lands owned by individuals and corporations in excess of 160 acres, not under cultivation, aball be taxed to the full value of cultivated lands of like character. ThirdWe demand the immediate forfeiture of all lands now under grant to corporations or individuals, the conditions of which have not been complied with. FouithWe demand that all lands now held by individuals or corporations upon which pat ents have uot been issued, and which are not forfeitable, shall be patented without delay and taxed to the lull value of lands of like character under cultivation. FifthWe demand the immediate removal of all fences upon the public domain without au thority of law, and that eanal protection be se cured to all citizens of the United States in the use ot public lands for free commonage. SixthWe 3mand that on and after 1890 the government shall obtain possession, bv pur chase at an appraised valuation, of all lands legally held bv non-resident aliens, and from and after 1886 aliens shall be prohibited from acquiring title to or owning lands within the United States, and that all deeds by citizens of the United States to aliens after said last-men tioned date shall be null and void, and and so deeded shall revert to the government. SeventhWe demand ihe abolition of all property qualifications for voting similir to those now existing in the State of Rhode Island and the establishment of a graduated income tax. EighthWe believe that the labor bureau is one of the most valuable means for the dissem duation of needed information, and we demand tfor it the full appropriation asked for, that its efficiency may not be impaired. NmvhWe recommend the passage of the sev eral bills endorsed by this body and approved bv the committee of labor of the house of rep resentatives TenthWe recommend that this body aopoint a committee oi three to visit congress during its present session to make known to the mem bers of that honorable body the wishes of the i-Knights of Labor respecting the matters named 'by this committee, and endorsed by this body.

DOBA'S LOVER. She was very pretty, with a lissome young figure very badly dressed, and Charles St. Eustace leaning over the deck railing of the '-Scottish Queen" looked in vain for her companions. His eye had been caught by her great bronze braids and held by her beauty and loneliness. But he was about to dismiss the subject carelessly from his mind when a young man slouched up from the cabin and sat down beside the girl. He was agood-looking, flash ily-dressed, vicious-looking fellow, and St. Eustace idly wondered what rela tion he held to his companion. He did not look like her brother he was too dark and too coarse. He might be her husband. People of that class marry so shame lessly young and so reprehensibly, he thought but one thing was quite cer tain the fellow had been drinking and pity was added to the young gen tleman's regard as he continued to observe the two. He had traveled much and seen all kinds of people, but it struck him that he had never seen so pretty a girl so unsuitably accompanied in his life. The '-Scottish Queen*' had just set sail, leaving London behind her, and was bound for Edinburgh. St. Eustace remained on deck until the boat was well down the river, and then went below for a book he had placed under the pillow of his berth. In the cabin the young girl sat alone, crying. St. Eustace's steps were arrested. He involuntarily lifted his hat, his face softened with regret. "I beg your pardon. Can I be of any service to you?"' The young girl looked up, and then dropped her lace and sobbed harder than ever. Then she looked up again. "I don't know I don't know what to do." There were a few passengers on board and this seemed to be the only lady. One or two of the men strolling by stopped curiously. "Let me take you to the other end of the cabin by the window it is cool- er," said St. Eustice,observing this.and offering his arm. She rose and took it. He pitied her, had a gentleman's instinct to serve any woman in distress, but he was conscious also of her very ugly green delaine dress, her faded gloves, fringed at the finger-tips, her small, thick boots. "What's your trouble?" he asked when she was more screened from general observation. "Shall I send the captain to you?" "I don't know," she said again. She was very youngnot more than seventeenand had that unconscious and unaffected manner which made in trusion upon her impossible as if she was possessed of the greatest scateli ness. She made an effort at last to check her sobs. "You are very kind! I'll try to tell you. I have come from London. I have been living there. My grand mother has died, and my grandfather has sent me to my aunt, in Edinburgh, whom I never saw. Heput me in care of that man on deck. He did not know him much. I am afraid of him, and I am all alone. "Is that all'" said St. Eustace with a smile of relief. "It is very unpleas ant for you, of course, but that lellow can be prevented from annoying you. I will speak to the captain." "The captain thinks I am in his care. His name is William Smallpiece. He is-" "Tipsey. Certainly he is, and very badly. I wonder Captain Balfour doesn't notice it. I will find him im mediately. Are you quite comfort able here? Let me bring you some thing to read." He unlocked the door of his little cabin, and brought her some maga zines. She tried to smile with her eyes still red, and to thank him. "I believe I am very homesick, or I Bhould not care so much," she said, with a final quiver of the red lips. "My grandmother's death has broken up our home, and my aunt I have never seen in my lite." "I am an Edinburgh man myself possibly I may know her. What is your aunt's name?" asked St. Eus tace, taking a seat. "Mrs. EUnoi? Lortoa, of Linlithgow square." "Are you Dora Seatoun?" he asked. The girl nodded quackly. "Then I know you vary well," said her eompanion, offering his hand. "I have often heard Mrs. Lorton speak of you. You are her sister's child. She wanted to adopt you when your mother died, but your father's.parents claimed yau." "Yes." "Little, curiey-headed Dora. Yes, he told me about you longago," said St. Eustace, musingly. "She may have me now," said the girl, sadly. With the best motives in the world, Bt. Eustace spent an hour trying to amuse the lonely young girl. And while he chatted he, fancied tha gance. around her to muse on"it elegant Mrs. L'orton's xeception of so much beauty, and such utter lack style. The girl was in mourning for her grandmother. He fancied that she had ever been very poor, but there was a gentleness and refinement native to her tnat he thought prettier than any results of training. By-and-by he offered his arm for a promenade on deck, and, since he knew her aunt, Dora accepted these atten tions gladty. St. Eustace could not but notice how guileless she was, and grew tender over her innocence. He gave her his care he related many particulars of her aunt's history, that if anv thoughts of fear arose they might be set at rest. And, looking into the sweet, fearless eyes, he was secretly only too glad that he was what he "professed to be irreproachable in truth and standing. A few wor is spoken to the captain gained Dora too, his bluff, fatherly interest, and'her forlorn look was soon banished. The sea trip was full of novelty and pleasure for her. and the pretHness grew radiant as she yielded to the fresh and healthful influence around her. Mr. William "Smallpiece fortunately became seaside at once and had to "seek the seclusion that a cabm grants." for the whole time. But Dora was a good sailor. Though the boat plunged restlessly all night and beat about the incessant ring ing of the fog-belt she came to break fast with rosy clu eks and bright eyes. She soon became a favorite with the captain, who placed her at his right hand, and constantly encouraged and complimented her. The next was a bi [ght and beauti ful day, and thost, of the passengers who were not seasick, promenaded on the deck in the bright October sunshine, or lounged on the settees and camp chairs. By a marked courtesy, St. Eustace succeeded in preventing Dora feeling tlie embarrassment of being the only lady on board. She was more pictmesque without the frayed gloves, sitting with her bounteous braids uncovered, her slight shoulders wrapped in a white shawl under an awning, which the cap tain had gave orders to have rigged for her and she was more conspicu ously pretty. St. Eustace felt that the other pas sengers envied him as he lounged near, chatting in quiet seriousness, and silently watching the shifting water, the hovering sky, the winging gulls or flying sails, with her eyes cf sweet en joyment. Dora was both unassuming and free from embarrassment. Even Mrs. Norton's anticipated training could not improve the young girl's simple ladyhood, and St. Eustace felt him self deeply interested respecting this young creature. After supper the moon came up gloriously. Dora ran up from the cabin with a cry of delight. "Oh, how pretty!like a dream'" she cried. "Would you not like the change of a walk?" asked St. Eustace, offering his arm. So they promenaded the smooth, white deck, the sea rippling, and the moon shedding her soft light. "How pleasant this is'" said Dora. "I thought it was going to be dread ful when we came on board. It would have been if it had not been for your kindness." "Do you think I do not find this pleasant?" asked St. Eustace. "What should I have done if you had not been on board?" She looked up with frank, sweet eyes. "I had not thought of that," she said. St. Eustace laughed heartily. "Oh, well," she said, we know it can't make much difference to you." The young man watched her face of humility, and thought he had never tasted such exquisite flattery. "Do we?" he said. "I am not quite so sure. See how white those sails are, comingfrom beneath those clouds. Do you," he added, presently, "expect to enjoy yourself at your aunt's? Do you know how rich she is," he went on, "and how luxuriously she lives9 "I had not thought," she said. "Grandpa said she was a goodwoman, very cheerful and charitable 1 ex pect to be as happy there a I can be anywhere." He noticed the sadness of the young voice, but knew she would soon re cover from the sorrow of losing her grandmother, and mused on what the rich .voman would make of this sweet, unsophisticated girl. Dora could think of nothing but her own pleasant emotions. That long, bright eveningthe fresh, mild scene the handsome face, the gallant figure, made an era in her life. But when she left him she forgot all in the sound sleep of early youth. With St. Eustace it was different. The confiding grasp of that little hand upon his aim seemed to linger. There was a marriage planned for him by his father. Whv did he think of that now with abhorrence and vow that it never could, be? He had not beea so averse once, though never enthusiastic, about Miss Montgomery. Bsat Dora Seatoun'.s pure-spirit and fii3beauty was a reve lations to him. More dazzling faces he had seen, never ane that thrilled hirn to tu finest fibae-of his being like that. By gray day-light he tried to. scoff at himself: but tfie first sight of Dora's. sweet eyes maae him her slavo again. "Only a shart time more a,t sea," sh said, witi her sunny smi1 But it was? a long, bright day,- and: St. Eustace made his resolve. When they had reached Edinburgh., and he had put her into a sarriage, he said: "IshaU do myself th- pleasure-of calling on you soon!" "How soon?" she asked, brightly. "Perhaps to-morrow evening. If not, give me three days* grace." How her heart bounded at his part ing bow and eloquent eyes! She had a girl's heart to be glad at that look! and when her aunt had made her at home, she forgot the el*. When her aunt had tried a score or pretty dresses on her the next after noon, she signified her wish to cohtm ue wearing one which was pronounced, satisfactory. "I expected a friend this evening, she faltered. Her excitement did not escape her aunt. When the evening passed and St. Eustace did not come, she drew the truth from her. "Charles St. Eustace!" exclaimed the lady. "My dear'" Dora waited with a sinking heart. "Not but what you are very pretty, child," resumed the lady. "Your in creased beauty is a delight to me you have grown up utterly handsome but the St. Eustace family are so Droud, so everything that is desirable. And you ha\e hardly had the training but we will give him three days' grace. Young men are sometimes very head strong in such matters, and I really can't wonder," kissing the girl's dim pled cheek. Such a pang as she had planted in that young heart she did not dream of her own emotfons were long since quite contiollable.
