WHY THEY ENDORSE INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS. he only hone for the monopolist and Railroad men to continue to oppress the people is for them to get the honest farming and laboring men devided among themselves, so they .therefore endorse and assist all inde-i-,. 'yent Democrats. Let all good men, whatever their disap pointments, stand squarely by the resrular Democratic nominees. There is no safety in any other way. The Courier-Journal well says : he key to the policy of Speaker Reetl and the Republican party is contained in the closing sentence of the Speaker's Utica address, when he threatened the Democrats with the bayonets of the United States Government. He means that the Republicans will rule by fraud if they can, and if they fail, force snail ue tneir last resort, meseare evolutionary words for the head of a parliamentary Douy to use, ana in tne purer tiaysoi tne uommonweaitn vould have startled the country; but in our tunes, wnen me onsu- tution has been cast into the waste oasKet, ana usurpauon is a ueiwr weapon man justice, tne puiuic not surprised at anything."

I denounce this measure as a danger ous exercise of Constitutional au thority, a menace to our theory of government and an insult tothepeo of the States. The States have al ways regulated their own elections." This comes from a Northern Dem ociat, and is spoken in northern ter ritory. The Democratic party op poses the plan of punching a man in the back with a bayonet when he walks peaceably up to the ballot box to vote, - but unless people want to vote that way they must administer such a national rebuke to the Repub lican party at the next election that Recd and his gang ot parasites will never again say j? orce diu abow. a whisper. HOX.W.M. ItOHItlXS AddrewwH u larire Audience in Clinton Tliurday night. On la.st Thursday, Hon. W. M. Iiobbhn addressed the iKople of lower Sampson at Lisbon. An apiointment had been made for him in Clinton, and he came up from Lisbon and addressed a larue assemblage of Sampson's Democracy in the court-house Thursday night. He was gracefully introduced by Mr. F. It. Cooper. Maj. Itobbins was unwfrll and not at his best, but his speech was a powerful exposition of Radical wrong doiug, and an able appeal for the Democratic party. 'The Jtepublical party' he; said, is a sectional party, and has no res pect, or good feeling for the South. In the 2" years since the war they have only had two cabinet officers from the South, and one of these was a Democrat and the other a Northern carpet-bagger. Northern Republicans consider the Southern people as base, unworthy rebels that ought to be thankful thai their lives were spared. I he republican party has been the friend of those who have not needcnl friends and has shown no mend.ship lor those m need of friends the fanners and laboring men of the country. The Republi cans demonetized silver to mease the bond holder, and when the peo ple demanded that more silver be coined they made the silver dollars as ugly as possible in order to make them unpopular. They have con tracted the currency, so the laboring man can not get the money to pay his debts. If anything will take the heart and manhood out of a man it is debt. It hangs like a cloud over Ids life and almost drives him to despair when he sees no hope of lilting it. The farmer is the man whe creates wealth from nothing by digging it out ot the soil, and he, of tp(1 flt,Vinsl, hv thn .nlnstlmvs of tho lienublican party The strangest thing in the world is that an intelligent Southern man can vote the Republican ticket. 1 he negro laborer will vote l or the party that is pauperizing his employer, and thus reduces his own income. Frequent elections aie the only safety of the people. Every two years we look over the books and hold each officer to strict ac- count i'or bis acts. The great ma- jority of the white voters of the country have for manv years voted the Democratic ticket. There are now a million more white Demo crats Jhan white Republicans. See ing that Democracy is growing in strength the Republicans hae re solved to pass the wicked force bill to perpetuate the power of the party. The Republican party is not the party of the people and if the majority had ruled there would not have been a republican President in years. The Democratic party is the great national paity.lt extends a fr iendly JliUIH ilUlUSS aUU!011 illlll X7IA.IH1 -.- i..,.i -t ...i : i , and bridges the chasm of sectional hatred. Nothing will so soon make the hearts of the North and South throb in unison with friendly feel ings as the ascendency of the Demo cratic party." This outline will do but faint justice to Mr. Robbins speech. It was full of truth, wisdom and was put in a way thai none could fail to understand. His remarks to the negroes were plain but were the words of a friend. "It took the great anglo saxan race COO years to learn the lesson of sell government lie said," and can the negroes have learned this lesson in the brief it is they period of 25 year.-? Xo; and not slandering them to say have not." The time has not yet arrived for the negroes to rule this country. Maj. Robhions showed that it was the duty of all Southern men to vote the Democratic ticket, because the Republican party lias no lespect for Southern people or thir rights. Hon. B. F. Grady was present, and at the close of Maj. Robbins address was called for, but owing to the lateness of the hour declined to speak.

A few families and political bosses who had been running the State, got mad because they could not have their way. They have put out an independent and are buying the negro to get his vote. They are willing to do anything, even to sink the'State just to satisfy their own personal dairies. Yes they are 'deserters" and enemies to their estate, to tne people una to good I government.

He felt glad that he had made sure of her number. lie meant to Bee her the next day and find out if he could where Edna Lewis was living. The interest which he had felt in this girl, who represented to him so fully his ideal, was quickened ten fold by the late occurrence. He had protected her from one whom he was convinced by many reasons she disliked and who boded her no good. The glance that had shot from her eye as she darted off when he had freed her from Dr. Watson had spoken of gratitude. He laughed at himself for being tempted to think there was any . other feeling in that glance. "Yet I had only seen her once," he said to himself, as if to defend the absurd thought that she would feel any deep in terest in him. "I saw her only once, and she has lived in my brain and my heart ever since. What a so she must have to play as she did! What could have made that woman play me like that?" "That woman" was not the fascinating Edna, but the singer who had decoyed him away from her. He rememlx-red that lidna at the con cert had worn a white satin dress, and the singer had worn a pink one. Then they must have changed gowns! And the long cloak he was sure was the same as that he had seen upon the young girl at the time he had come to her rescue and freed her from Dr. Watson. He recalled the singular change which he had remarked in her playing. He also remembered the strange fact that he had turned his eyes directly from her upon Dr. Watson. The thought that he and the giri he was beginning to feel such an interest in could be swayed by a common sym pathetic feeling- was pleasant to him, but when he reflected that it was the odious doctor who had apparently swayed both their souls by some occult magnetism he was indignant. He could have endured it for her, but that he, a strong man, should be drawn like a piece of iron filing to the magnet by this fellow, whom he hated and whom he knew to be a villain, mortified hi3 pride. "It was only a chance coincidence," he said angrily to himself. The next morning he called at the house where he had been the night be fore with the singer. He had lost his programme of the concert, and could not recall her name But he trusted to his wit to find her. A colored man answered his impatient ring at the bell. "Is there a public singer living in this building?" Henshall asked. "Yes, sir; there's two Mrs. Bucks and Mi?a Dudley." "Where is the man who was on duty last night at 11 o'clock?" he inquired. "He doesn't come on till 6 this even ing," was the answer. "Well, you can take me to Miss Dud ley's," he said impatiently at a venture. The elevator boy took him up to the third floor and pointed to the door on the left. "That is Miss Dudley's," he said. Henshaii rang the bell. The door waa opened after two or three minutes by a young woman whom he had never seen. "Can I see Miss Dudley for a mo ment?" he asked. "What do you want to see her for?" said the young woman. "It is on a matter of private busi ness," he replied. The lady's face was notat all encour aging as she replied, "I do not know it." "Have you any objections to telling me why you and Miss Ne villa exchanged dresses last night and why yon led me on such a wild goose chase?" The lady's eyes twinkled, a little with merriment as she recalled the incident. Then she replied provokinglty: "Why, I thought the least 1 could do after your goodness in supplying me with a coupe to come homein was to al low you to accompany me asf ar as the door. So you didn't mean to come with me at all," she went 00 ironically, "flow mortifying!" ".Miss Dudley, I ve no .doubt it waa very amusing to hoodwinkpne aa yon did. But you have not told me why you changed dresses with Mass Neville and wore her cloak." "Why, you see, she. asked me to," said Miss Dudley, opening'her eyes and look ing very innocent. "And why did she ask you to?" re torted Henshall, showing a little irrita tion. "I don't suppose it is a common thing for young women who ein or take part in the same concert to change clothes with each other to go home inP' Miss Dudley smiled again. Then. a if feeling that she had carried the matter far enough in this line, she said decided ly and with a serious countenance: "l nave tola you aIL.1 cave to say about the matter. If you wish to know more you will have to see Miss Neville herself, and I do not really know her ad dress. So I can be of no service to you, and I must beg you to excuse me now, ' "Miss Dudley," said Henshall, soften ing his tone, "you would not have acted. as you have unless yoc were a friend to- Miss Neville. Believe me, you would. do her no harm by trusting me, as I am. ahem! a true friend to the young lady- 'l had the pleasure of rescuing her from a man who waa annoying her with; his attentions only last evening. I feel tuo m tau to escape Uffi that led Jier to propose this extraordinary changw of drt-ss. Your teinsf so nearly the same height and figure asMin Neville made this an easy means of throwing him off the track. An I cot right?" Miss Dudley's eyes had opened rather wide aa he waa speaking, and when he was through she exclaimed: "Then you are not the man? "I am not the man, I swear to yon." said HenshalL gal fr Yr77 f.jLiiJLasgi'? I i am wit the -nan, I stcwr to you'' The singf-r reflected for a moment and then said: "I do not see what harm it can do to tell you the truth in any case. Even if you are the man, nothing that I say woum ao anv narm now. w no is the man?" she asked suddenly, fixing her eye3 on the young fellow. "He is an Italian mind reader whose real name is Leopardi. I know him to be a vllliari," replied Henshall at once. "I only asked that to see if you would have an answer ready," Miss Dudley re turned, smiling roguishly again. "Well, I will tell you the whole thing. After her last solo Miss Neville was strangely agitated. She came to me trembnn and said: 'There is a man whom I great ly fear, because, although I detest him, he has an influence over me which I can not resist. From the way I felt while I was playing I believe he was somewhere in the hall. I desire above all things to avoid meeting this man. My happiness in lif e may be destroyed if he should find where I am living. Will you not change dresses with me and wear my wrap? We are so nearly alike m figure that if you go out in these clothes and veil yourself well he can easily mistake 3'ou for me and will follow you. I feel as if he would wait until he sees me come out.' ,' "She so impressed me,'" continued ;Miss Dudley, "that I consented. The , fun of the tiling tickled my fancy, too Well, when I came out and you ad dressed me as Miss Neville and invited me into the coupe which you had en gaged, 1 felt sure you were the man. I thought I was helping Miss Neville all the more by bringing you home with me, Then it was a satisfaction to show vou how you had been fooled." She laughed and then said earnestly, 'And you are not the man at all, then?1 "No, I am not the man at all," re plied Henshall. "You acted a friendly part. Now, you can act a still friendlier one if you will help me find this young woman. I believe she needs assistance and I shall gladly aid her." Miss Dudley darted a keen glance at his handsome face as she answered: "I do not doubt it in the least. But I know nothing about Miss Neville more than I have told you. Still, when I see her I will tell her what you have said, and if you leave your address with me I will write to you what she says." With this Henshall had to be content. He Eaw that the singer was sincere in what she said so far as he could judge. He went to Steinway hall and got Hein- rich Neuberger's address. It was on Third avenue, far up town. He decided to call at Miss Hartman's on nis way up to let .airs, bmitn icnow that he had seen her villainous husband. This would help to cement the confi dence between them which he wished to Inspire. When he rang the bell he told the ser vant to tne his card to Mrs. Smith. He penciled on it: "Come down for a mo ment. Do not say I am here." He entered the parlor and waited. In a very short time Mrs. Smith presented herself. She seemed named, but glad to see him. You came at a very opportune time. I can trust you impiicity, can 1 notr sne asked, looking at him fixedly Oertainlv. I want vou to do so. I want your help and will give you mine. I siw vour husband last night," he added. Read that and see what it means, said Mrs. Smith, drawing a letter from jT pocket. "Do not be afraid to do so bjcause it is directed to Miss Hartman. I have read it " and her eyes flashed, "and I know he raeast villainy by it. Henshall hastily ran his eye over the letter. It was as follows "Miss Lena Haetman If Mr. Henry FTffnslia.H has any relations to you which would make his compromising another young woman of interest to you ask him what he has to do with a girl who plays the violin ia public and whose stage name is Lorase .Neville. He may deny that he knows her, but you are en titled to this warning from "A Feiem. Henshaii raised his eyes interrogative ly to Mrs. Smith. "That note came this morning," she said excitedlv. "Tne handwriting 13 disguised, but I know the character of Leopardi's Italian letters too well not to detect it I took the liberty of opening it. thinking I had a right as his wife, she Eaid bitterly, "to know what he would write to a young lady engaged to a young gentleman. When I read it I decided not to let Miss Hartman know anything about it, and felt it was only fair to show it to you. "It is only his devilish malice per haps," said Henshall, "for he hates me. But I do not know how he could have found out my name and myecgagement to Miss Hartman. He then told Mrs. Smith the Instory of yesterday. When he was through she exclaimed: "That man seezria to ma devilish at times. Keep this letter at all events It may come into play later." When Henshall left her ne went at once to Neuberger's. What was his astonishment when that gentleman said to him: "Miss Neville has accepted an engagement to appear in San Francisco with a manager named Rudolph Opper. 1 She started for there this rooming." "Beaten aain!" 'said . Henshall sav- 1 111 1 u it . rr 111 W it stair. "But I will find her it I bate to follow her around the world." VUL -COLLISIONS AND COLLD- Bj NELL NELSON.

If there was nothing else in life but hot coffee, hot water and a hot fire it would still be worth living. 'Coffee is the best thing that ever went down a human throat.

God help her to forgive me!" and roll ing over on her back she clasped her hands and raised them in supplicating appeal above her burning face. Just then the door of her room opened noiselessly and Dr. Watson, in slippers and lounge coat, entered, and taking a cigarette from his lips stood for a mo ment watching her. Not a sound was made nor a syllable uttered, but Miss Brown felt the pres ence of the hypnotist in an instant. A shudder ran through her body, an excessive quivering agitated her eyelids. Her eyeballs moved convulsively, and quickly turning her face as close to the fire as the brass fender would permit she said by way of recognition. "It's you, is it?" "You have said it, my dear Martha, and if you don't mind I'll finish my cig arette here. Damnation can have little terror for you, by the way." "How do you know?" "Fau have alet it, my lcar MarVia."

Miss Brown rose to a sitting posture, straightened out her skirts, threw one corner of the fine rug over her feet and knees, and lying down again turned her eyes to the fire and covered her face with her arm to shut out the demon gaze that made her soul writhe. Without heeding her silence Watson blew out some delicate rings of smoke. "I wish you were not so prudish," he said. "I like the lace ruffles of your skirt better than that rug. They remind me of the girl I married in Chicago." 'That was your third wife, wasn't ilr she said venomously.

(let as much rest as you can, for it's a long, weary run from here to "Frisco." Banker Hartman's house in Stuyvesant square was as gay as a palace for a coro nation. Incandescent lanterns hung in the branches of the trees, floded 1 the scene below with soft light, and wove a delicate tapestry of skeleton leaves and graceful branches over pavement, street and wall. From curbstone to doorstep stretched carpet and canopy, one hung with little chamber lanterns, from the jewels of vln ' the b'ght streamed in soft splendor, wid the other hedged with date and fan palms. White liveried grooms stood at the carriage step to assist the wedding guests, and in the vestibule ami along the staircase were servants of mscruta- Die race ana raultlesa dress, each with a single phrafse to deliver by way of direc tion to the bewildered company. The air was redolent with the breath of roses, and np from an arbor of pa'.m and oleauder floated the light strains of mandolins, flutes and harp, rapturous as love itself. Newel posts and balustrades were twined with roses and rosemary; win dow seats and mantel shelves were cush ioned with violets and daffodil; gor geous balls of hydrangea and chrysan themum filled the fin-places, and invisi bly hung against screens of smilax was a wainscoting of orchids extending through the drawing room and library. The alcove off the music room luid been tunn-d into a nuptial bvwer. An umbrella of white buds roofed the in- closnre, the walls were tajiestrifd with pink rosx. and just within the floral gates stood a prie-dieu of carved ivory and golden satin, where Henry Ilenshall would kneel with his bride to receive the nuptial benediction Cp in one of the sumptuousl- appoint ed guest cham Ijers sat the painter in the attitude of a penitent, desolate as a lighthouse, for he had locked the door and given orders not to be dista bed. The marriage was pet for 7 o'clock, and the neighborhood abounded in belfry clocks. He had liis cloves on and the ring in hfe pocket and he was listening for the knelL "Confound it, any way. Why should I care?" he muttered, rising abruptly and becinnina to nace the floor. "It's the woman in me. Men marry nurses and housekeepers and influence every day in th9 week, and I can name at leat five fellows in the club who have married for ; mere social position. This thing of Jove is an involuntary sort of a sensation, any way, and as for swearing to keep it up, it's all balderdash; for a fellow can no more hate all his life than be can love.

IT1 swear that I haven't made love to her, and I know for s certainty that I haven't kissed her three times. She thinks the loves, and she thinks she Las a "heart, and she thinks she thinks, which is equivalent to the demonstration of an absurdity."
