He abases nobody's person, but eve rybody's meanmss, and if a fellow is all meanness it is not Jones' fault that the picture is so bad." The Democratic doctrine of tariff reform is daily gaining ground and the ltadicals are growing uneasy. Even the Presidential head that is swallowed up in its grandfather's hat is uneasy about the next election, and an effort, of which members of his cabinet are prime movers, is be ing made to colonize several thous and North Carolina negroes in the doubtful States of West Virginia, Connecticut and Indiana in order to mako then: safely Kepublican. Porta ble voting machines are the only hope of Republicanism in these States, it seems, and the party must be in a sorry plight when foreign help must bo summoned to hold these forts. Senator Vorhees said of the ses sion of Congress just closed : "It has been the worst of the many sessions I have been connected with, and its legislation, where it accomplished results, most injurious to the labor ing interests of the country." Sena tor Gray said, on the same subject: "This session has been run by revo lutionary methods, and as sucli will be notorious in history. The major ity' seem to have regarded it as nec essary to impose the most burden some taxes on the peoxle. Partizan and class legislation has been the session's distinguishing characteris tics. The taking up of the Force bill in December would be a logical conclusion to the legislation of this session, rnat uui is notning out an extraordinary measure to perpetuate the power of the Republican party." The New York Herald says : "If a Democratic Congress ischo sen this autumn it will confront, when it meets in December, 1891, a Treasury nearly depleted, as the re sult of Republican extravagance ,The total aporopriations for the fis cai year, wmcn began July l, aro $301,311,503, exclusive of the perma nent annual appropriations for the sinking fund, interest on the publie debt and other small items. The only things which can save the Trea ury from bankruptcy are the appro priation to Government uses of the 155,000,000 deposited with the Trea sury in trust as security for the re demotion of the national banknotes and the hope that all of the money appropriated at the session just pass ed will not be spent within the year. Nearly all the appropriations show an enormous advance over those for the year which has just closed. Radicalism will bankrupt the country if not rebuked, and at the next election is the time to adminis ter the rebuke. The McKinley Tariff bill is so fla grantly wicked and unjust that even the departed murmur against it. From the political sepulchre of Ex President Hayes a voice is heard exclaiming : UI cannot find words to express my regret at the passage of the inea sure, it is ruinous to an our Desi interests, and it will do an infinite amount of harm I cannot under stand how public men can be so blind to the interests of the countiy at large as to pass such a bill. It is annihilating to the Republican par ty." It is the most terrible blow that has been struck at the party during its existence. I can only say that I hope such a policy will die out, sure ly and soon ; but I cannot shut my eyes to the evil that will be done before such protection as this finds a grave." Mr. HayfcS, being retired to pri vate live and the hope of office and Protectionist shekels being far re moved from him, speaks out his conscientious opinion in this matter The McKinley bill will go down I n the history ot our country as a na tional outrage upc n the laboring classes, and the Republican party will be held to strict accountability for its evil results. ; POLK AND LIVINGSTON 8ieak to a Larc Crowd of Yeo manry at Coldhboro. Editorial Correfpondmce. (Jo lat Thursday Col. L. L. Polk, President of the National Alliance and Col. L. F. Livingston, the Na tional Lecturer, spohe to a largo crowd at Goldsboro. Col. Living fcton, who has served several terms in Congress, is agiin the Democratic nominee in the Atiauti District. We iiad the pleasure of hearing him and it was a capital speech. He made a strong piea for harmony and party uecc?.. He said-that every thing must be fought out inside of party l'nes, that Alliance men should con tend tor their principles at the pri maries and the conventions, but if defeated, to stand like men by the result, and go to work to establish the right through the next primaries and the next convention and elec tion. We tlip the following from the Argus, which is a part of brother Robinson's report of the speech: And cuch a speech as was his has not been heard in these parts ever before or since Harry Tracy's great talk io the Alliance here last year. It was ja-t such a 'speech as the far mers of this section needed. It dealt in such subject-, as they stood in most need of information upon. It was comprehensive, taking in he tariff, the revenue, direct and indi rect taxation, the national banking system, corporations, speculators, monopolies and trusts; and on all of these lie gave forth in the expres sion of his views the soundest of Democratic docrine. And he was well calculated to do this, as ho sta ted that he is a Democrat, first last and all the time; and right along in the midst of these expressions, he addressed himself to the Sub-Treas ury bill, and proclaimed that it was Democratic and constitutional, and dared any man, anywhere, to meet him in debate and prove to the ton trary. As to the secrets of the Alli ance he said that every organization, every family, every individual, eve ry jury room, have secrets "don't, then, if you are a just and honest man, talk about and censure our Or der for having its secrets, and it planted them so deep in the farmers' iiearts, and covered them up in sub- lliances all over the country, that the powerful enemies of the pnnci pies of the Alliance could not find the seed until now they have taken root and cannot be uprooted by the allied power of nil their .aiemies." He said "the Alliance is no mean, hide-bound organization," that its principles and its purposes are op posed to no man, order, association or interest that is right, that it has not fought except when it has been fought; that it's purpose is simply to make complaint inside its party ranks; that it is opposed to fighting outside of party lines. He counsel ed all differences to be put torward tit the primaries and county conven tions, but after tkat, to stop talking iud go to work for party success. Ho said there was too much talking, too much on . oth sides: "Carry your mouth along with you but don't talk !" "Be peace makers not peace breakers. 'Blessed are the peace makers' is a God-given sentiment uf the Alliance, no matter what its en emies and detractors may say." He spoke fairly, calmly, forcibly and won many over who had been ad verse to his views on this bill. There was nothing: of the bras or bluster in Col. Livingston's manner. He impressed you at the start and held you in sympathy to the end by his earnestness and entire fairness. Col. Polk, at the close of Col. Liv ingston's speech was called out. He made an eloquent talk, urging the Alliance to stick and stand true to the principles of the Order. He said that we should not be discouraged if the relief the justice we were de manding did not come at once, but should work with still greater deter minat,ion. That we had the wroisj aoings ot a quarter ot a century io right, and that it was a fight not of a month or a year, but of a life-time At the close he gave at outline of the progress of the principles of the Order and how much had already been achieved in so short a time. The Col. will leave for Kansas this week, where we will make a dozen speeches. HON. J$. F GRADY. A correspondent of The Wilming ton Messenger says: That brainy Democratic candidate for Congress in the Third Congressional district, B. F. Grady, Esq., spoke to an ap preciative audience on Monday last at Burgaw. He had previously spok en at several places in Pender, and wins golden opinions wherever he speaks, as an able expounder of con stitutional lav, and of the history and principles of our National Gov ernment. I1U expositions of the enormities of the tariff, and of the McKinley Tariff bill, and of the op pressions of our national banking system, and of other ruinous laws of the llepublican party, were clear, able and conclusive. No young member of the House of Represen tatives from North Carolina, ever took a higher stand in Congress, thaa this able and thoroughly informed Democrat will take, lie i well post ed on the science of political econo my.

By ALAN DALE. Illustrated by WAL TER E. M'DOTJGALL. Copyright. AH rights reserved. Lena Hartman, the banker's daughter, was one of those matter of fact maidens who seem to have been created as a use ful foil to the sentimental gushf nlness of the romantic damsel. Miss Hartman was more than deli cately plump. Her appearance suggest ed an intense regard for meals. Like the German fraulein, who is mot at all disinclined to talk love over a steaming dish of Frankfurter sausages, supple mented by sauerkraut, Miss Ilartman was eminently healthy. As for her amiability, it was simply without limit. Miss Hartman was im pervious to the petty worries of life. One of her friends always declared that nothing less than an earthquake would ever cause her the least agitation. Henry Henshall called upon this portly maiden in due time, and her appearance filled him with a vague affright. His artistic instincts told him at once that he need never expect from her either sympathy or even interest in his plans and his aspirations. But Hs promise to his father dwelt in his mind sacredly intact. He would be a martyr and he must feel some consolation in that. Most men do. It is well to reflect that one is a martyr, even though too late to be included in Fox's book. The face of his unknown ideal blotted from his mind the large, immobile feat ures of Miss Hartman the instant he left her, and he felt that as a reward for his sacrifice he could at least indulge in the luxury of thinking of this strangely met , strangely lost woman. Lena Hartman was motherless.and had recently engaged as companion a woman whom Henshall regarded with undefined mistrust, sne was a light n&lred, blue eyed woman, who years ago must have been extremely handsome, but her feat ures were now livid with care. Her movements were furtive and catlike, and she seemed to regard the life the was living as unreal. ; "What induced you to engage her, Lena?" asked Henshall one day, with ths privilege of a newly made fiancee. He bad glided into this position in such an unutterably commonplace manner that the chains so easily forged were hardly galling. "Because she interests me," declared Miss Hartman. "I feel that she has a history. Yon always tell me, Harry, that I am the most unromantic being on earth. I know it. I can, however, ap preciate romance in others, though I am aware that you think even that impossi ble ' Mr. Henshall sighed. He wondered stupidly if Lena would feel interested ia his own brief, pointless romance. ; - He dimly saw the jealous demon rap ping for admittance at the smooth doors of Miss Hartman's placidity. He saw the baffled retreat of this demon. Ho declined to admit evn the possibility of Miss Hartman's jealousy. His acquaintance with women was very slight. He imagined that the pas sionless affection evinced for him by his v : tri2---, the presence or absence of which was but of slight significance to the wel fare of the woman. One morning Mr. Uemdudl called &t Mr. Hartman's house, more with the ob j'ct of "reporting for duty," as he styled it in mental irony, than with any well defined object in view. Mr. and ML Hartman were out, he was informed. Mrs. Smith, the chaperon, was at present the only member of the family now at home. She was in the drawing room, ventured the domestic, discreetly. HeuKhall never knew afterward what it wa that prompted him to enter in stead of leaving the conventional card to indicate his unsatisfied visit. 11'' told the servant he would stay for .. i. r nd wait the arrival of the father and daughter. Then leaving his hat and cane in the hall he walked to the door of th.-" drawing room, and with a slight, premonitory knock entered. The room was unlighted save by a full, red shaded lamp that cast a pink effulgence on objects in its immediate neighborhood. The young man saw seated on a low chair close to the lamp the apathetic form of Mrs. Smith, the chaperon. She had not heard Ms knock and remained seated, her hands folded listlessly in front of her, her head bent slightly for ward, until the sound of his light foot fall reached her ear. Then with a start sho rose and placed her hand upon the region of her heart. Y 1 on alarmed me, Mr. Henshall," she decLjed, with an attempt at a smile that was a signal failure. "I did not expect anybody, lecause Mr. Hartman and Lena liave gone out. Let me see, hesitatingly. think they went to a reception at Mrs. Van Auken's house on the avenue. Did you wish" "Nol hing," interrupted the young man with reassuring 6mi!e. "I thought would come in for a few minutes and icst myself." The absence of Mis3 Hartman was by no means regrettable. In fact Mr. Hen shall felt a distinct relief at the respite from bald platitudes that her visit on the avenue afforded him. . He looked at Mrs. Smith's face. She had evidently been weeping. He had undoubtedly interrupted a painful medi tation. Well, ho reflected, sho ought to thank him for that at any rate. That she was not inclined to express any gratitude either by words or by looks wa3 very apparent. It w is clear that sdio. did not consider herself bound to entertain Miss Hart man s guest. .Alter a few uninteresting remarks, ut- tereu uninterestingly, sne rose ana an nounced her intention of retiring to her room. - "I leave you," she said, "provided with a couple of readable books, and am sure that yoxx will find them capital en tei t: laers. Of course you will wait to see Lena and Mr. Hartman. I know it would be a great disappointment to you if you failed to meet them." She accompanied these with a faint, significant smile that was irritatingly visible to Mr. Henshall. He colored slightly, and bit the end of hi mus tache to restrain the rather impatient retort that rose to his lips. Mrs. Smith moved noiselessly about. There was the same feline suggestions about her walk that he had noticed be fore. J.'Good night," she said indifferently. As she passed him something fell at his feet. He saw it there lefore him, but made no effort to pick it up for a few seconds. Then he stooped and raised it from the floor. It was an old fash ioned gold brooch, one of those trinkets that we have seen our grandmothers and great-aunts wear, and have admired in the days of our childhood. At the back of the brooch was a por trait, beautifully colored, standing out conspicuously from the dull gold frame. As he looked at it Henry Henshall was conscious of a mental shock such as he had rarely, received. The picture con jured up a whole train of reminiscences that for the last few weeks he had hardly ventured to disturb; for in the startling eyes and uncanny expression of the pho tographed face he had no difficulty in recognizing the man whom he had seen in the Wagner palace car, and whom h had mentally dubbed the heavy villain of the episode. In an instant he was on his feet; his hand was upon the bell; his intention was instantly to send a servant to Mrs. Smith, summoning her to his presence. He was spared the trouble. The door was noiselessly opened and the lady her self entered the room. "I dropped my brooch," she said apolo getically. "No, do not trouble," she added as he made a movement. "I think I know where to find it." The j-oung man's heart was beatin violently. He wanted to tell her that he had picked it up, but was unable to find the words. He held it np and tried to speak. In an instant she had snatched it from his hand. . He held it up and tried to speak, "I would not lose it for the world,' she said- Henry Henshall struggled with Ids emotion for a moment and overcame it. ; "Yon know ? that man?' he asked harshly. . - - She looked at him for a moment, then burst into a loud, unmusicr-1 laugh. "If I know that man? Hal ha! ha! Do I know him? Ah, it is too good! Ha! ha! ha!" . She sat down and laughed hysterical ly, he looking at her inmate amazement. Sudden! v she seemed to secure contra of herself. Eer lausrhter rcMiwrt Th expression oa her face became on of un eartiness. She advanced quietly to Ilea shall and said, with an indifference which was uueonvincinsr even to the young man: "Do you know him? He answered at once: "I da not know him. I wish I did, for I tx-UeTe he is He paused in embarmut Goon,' she eaid. I was goine to say." he rt-sumed, "that I Where he is a villain."' "You are right,' she aid deliberately, fixing her blue eyes on Ilenshall's white face. "He is a villain, and it is his wife, that 6ays so. Henshall recoiled. Intense surprise momentarily bewildredhim; then came, hie a ray of sunshine, the knowledge that here was a clew to the recovery of his ideal. Not a thought of Lena Hart man entered his mind to thwart his pLms. "You know his wifef ho asked. Again she laughed mirthlessly. "I am the woman unfortunate enough to bear that relation to him," she said. Then in alarm: "Mr. Henshall, 1 do not wish to acquaint you with my past life. You have come into possession of a secret through no fault of mine. I beg of you not to betray my confidence. Her evident sincerity overcame bis an imosity to the woman. "Mrs. Smith," he said, "your secret is safe. Tell me, I implore of yon, as much about this man as you conscientiously can. To show you how much in earnest I am I will tell you my reasons for asking this." He then related to her the story of his journey in the Wagner palace car, omit ting no detail hkely to interest her. He then told her (and strange to say, he really believed it himself) that his object was to find the girl, although en gaged to Miss Hartman. He would be perfectly loyal to Lena, but he felt that he could not go through life without liav ing met his ideal, if only to speak with her briefly, to study her beauty for one hour. He must see her. He would perhaps forget her if his curiosity were satisfied. Ah! how easy it ia to "talk one's self in," as the saying is. What a delightful thing an eased conscience! Mrs. Smith was a woman of the world, and she understood the complexion of the case far more thoroughly than did j-oung Henshall. But apparently it served her purpose to gratify him. "Do you know the names of the peo ple with whom you saw him?" she asked "Crawford," he answered. "Did yon learn that they stopped at No. 3 West Thirty-eighth street?" "Yes," in intense surprise, "I calk' there." "So did I," she said quietly, "but the bird had flown." "Have you any idea who the Craw- fords were?" It was his turn to question. "None at all," she replied bitterly. need hardiy say that Watson is not my husband'fi name. He has assumed rnanv aliases, but. the name to which he was born is Leopardi. He is an Italian by birth. He has called himself Rimaldi, Duval,. Schimmerlein, Henshaw and Watson, as far as I can remember. I met him two years ago. I knew him as Dr. Henshaw.Hie mind reader. "Hypnotism was a subject in which I was deeply interested. I attended all the ectures on the subject that I could pos sibly find. I met Dr. Henshaw at his house. I was rich. I had money and jewels. "How it came about I can never thor oughly understand, but we wero mar ried. Two months later he left me pen niless. I waited for Ms return, and wait ed in vain. A child was born to me. Thank goodness it died. I took this position temporarily. I live for revenge, and," fiercely, "I will have it." Grave fears for the safety of his ideal surged up forcefully in the bosom of Henry Henshall as he listened to this story. That she was in danger was now very evident. His mind was made np. "A man and a woman, both in earnest, and working together in unison, ought to be able to accomplish a great deal. I want to find this man for chivalry's sake," he said, again furnishing excuses to himself. ,fYou want to find him as a wronged woman. Shall we join forces?" She hesitated for one moment. Then her mind was made up. "Willingly,'' sho said. V. TWO ON A TRAIL. By WILLIAM F E0WE, Assisted by ABE HUMMEL. Illustrated by A. B. SHULTZ. Copyright. All rights reserved. "Vy dis is Dr. Henshaw, ain'd it?" ex claimed Herr Steinmetz as he laid his great hand oa the shoulder of a man walking rapidly past him on lower Broadway. "Vere haf you pm all dis time? Haf you j-our old frenta forgot?" The doctor was in anytamg but an amiable frame of mind when his medi tations were suddenly cut short by this inonDortune recognition by an old ac quaintance. With a deep frown on his brow he lifted his piercing eyes to Stem metz's face and curtly returned the frreeting.

Whero had he been buried out of eight for so long? He replied that he liad settled down to practice his profession in New Or leans, and had had no opportunity to meet his former acquaintances. He was spending a few days in ths city to trans act business of tue ntmoot importance, and he was then on his way to keep an appointment that hs co'ild not delay, as it was already eilin.z i.te. "So, said Herr btcinzaetz, "bud you jaust gome una see me.

"I think I can," returned the doctor, who was shifting around anxiously, and evidently desired to make the interview as short as possible. He was perfectly willing to promise to seo his - former manager, but if thero was any one man he had particular reason to avoid, that man was Heinnch Neuberger. "You must gome to my goncert," con tinued Herr Stemmotz. "Id vill be grant. I haf disgof ersI & new Camilla Urso, a greader blayer dan Matam TJrso ever.

The young artist was duwulu-vrtl, and as the train sped up town he won dered what to do with himself to whih away the evening. lie lifted hUi pterctnj eyes to Slrinmctz't fare. He did not care to go to his tlub, he had no reason to g home and he had told Miss Ilartman not to expect him until Saturday. When the guard yelled "Fourteenth street" he suddenly deter mined to leave the train and take a table d'hote dinner at one of the Italian res taurants in that jwrtion of the city. After his meal he en joyed a good cigar, and then started to walk leisurely over. toward Union Square, along the north side of Fourteenth street. Before h had taken many steps his artistic eye was attracted by the well rounded figure of a girl just ahead of liim, who carried a leather music roll in her hand. There was something familiar in her appear ance, and lie quickened his ytsKQ to get a better look at her. The next moment he knew that she was the ideal with whom his brain had been filled since he first caught n glimpse of her in the Wagner car. His first impulse was to lift his hat and address her, but he restrained himself, knowing that the would undoubtedly re sent his impertinence. He resolved to find out where she we, however, and iH.'rmitted her to get several feet in -advance, but not very far, as he feared to lo.e sight of her in the crowd that was hurrying along the thoroughfare toward the places of amuse ment. As the girl reached the corner of Irving place she came suddenly faco to face with a man in whom Henshall rec ognized the younger of the two men who had been traveling with her on the New York Central railroad. She looked down and tried to pass him. "I am very glad to meet you thus un expectedly, Miss Crawford," sarcastically remarked the doctor, detaining her wit h his hand. "Let me go; I have nothing to say to you," she exclaimed, looking up at him appealingly and shrinking from Ins grasp. For a moment Henshall stood irreso ute. He saw that the girl wished to es cape from the man, who seemed deter mined not to let her go; but he could not tell what their relations had been or how his interference would bo taken. Again he heard her plead to m let alone, und sho turned I-- pyt'i toward him aa if to appeal for help. Ho saw that great, dewy tears wore ( U-aliug out upon her long eyelashes, and he hesitated no longer. 'What do yon mean, wr, by insulting an tisprotcctedlady? he cried, jumping forward and giving tho doctor a trhove with euch violence as to neurl throw him over,, the iron fence around the Academy of Music. He pushed forward in front of the girl, who immediately eft, and he shook his fist in the face of her astonished acquaintance. You deserve to be thrashed within an men or your me, ne continuea. "and I feel very much inclined to give you a severe chastisement to teach you better manners." "Come, get away from hire. I will not stand any more of thia nonsense," re turned the physician. "I shall call a policeman if you interfere with me." 'I shall not allow any one to insult a lady in my presence," said the artist, who felt that he had to offer some justi fication for his conduct to the throng that had already collected around them. "This is ridiculous! I spoke to an old friend of mine," was tho final reply vouchsafed to tbe girl's champion, who allowed himself to be put asid? as the furious doctor moved away, Henshall followed, thinking that he might again have the opportunity of stepping between his ideal and one from whom she was evidently anxious to es cape. He was crossing Irving place when a carriage drove past. He recognized it immediately as Edward Hartman's. He hoped that the occupants .would not no tice him, but he was disappointed. " - lie was walking ahead when he heard a fa miliar voice calling his name. He turned and saw Mr. Hartman bt'etonin?? to him. The carriage had stopped in front of the academy and the banker and ma daugh ter were alighting. "Lena thought she would like to goto j the theatre this evening, said Mr. Hartman, after shaking hands with him, "bo, as she never saw 'The Old Home stead, I have brought her hero. I have I a box, and I want you to come in with us, unless you hare some special en gagement, j - "I want to see a friend,' said Hen- fib nil. "You can co out between tho acts and see him. I may want to see a man myself, and I know that Lena will ex cuse us," said the banker with a facetious wink to the young man. - The artist came to the conclusion that the young lady, in whom he felt a much more lively interest than he did in Lena Hartman, had probably gone too far for him to overtake her, and so he allowed his fiancee to persuade him to enter the academy. "I really have somebu8inwa on hand, though,' ho remarked, "and I shall be obliged to leave before the end nhad sca3aTtr:fts nspl j lf,. and La " for too latwh grossed ia hU own tixtht4 1 UW ry int-rrt ia th. tjuiet rutk soat' In ho insMiro Dr. WaUim. s t'v th-? titn Uhcif, had ga ak Uvula itTect a quickly stu hU tu nld When he stacked Union iprfr ,v locked around ta the v&ln h.;v that mi"ht CAtch ahjht of Mi- Crwf-J.
