Upon the shorea of Lake Foot cbartraia and o:i tbe southern bur ileroftho State of Mississippi, a loo row of elegant villas, a group of business booses, and liere and tber a public building or private institution, form lb lovely and quiet town of laH CluiMiau, noted for its balmy clunata, the beauty of ita wituatioQ, its handsome residenc es, and tbe wealth and refinement of its citizens. To the young ladies' academies and military institutions of Paa Christian, many of the wealthy planters were wont to seud their daughters and sons to be educated, and as the pupils of tbe respective iuutiiutious would meet, in their daily promenades, many admiring glances would be exohanged be. tweeu them, and longings felt to become acquainted. Among the fair pupils of tbe Lake Academy none were more beautiful than Kosa Vertuer, the sole heiress to all of her doting father's cotton estates,situa'ed upon tbe Mississippi Iliver. A fabower of golden curls fell upou her shoulders; blue, dreamy e.yea, a bright, smiling tace and a graceful torm, added to a diaFOfitiou of the truest womanly sweetnesH, m;ie the yoQng g'irl of fit teen particular ly attractive to all who knew her. Many a handsome cadet from the military academy bad fallen iu love with the bewitching beauty at tbe first glance from her heaven-lit eyes, but to none did she show a preference, when meeting at the soirees aud reeeptious given by the different schools. One of Ko.sa's greatest, though silent, admirers was Earl Griffith, the sou of a Mississippi plauter, whose estate lay adjoining that of Mr. Vertner ; but between Mr. Vert ner and Colonel Griffith there exists ed great bitterness, aud forbears the families bad not spoken, though meeting constantly iu social inter course at the houses of neighboring planters. The fued commenced long years before, in the old days before th war, when Mr. Vertuer and Colonel Griffith were rivals for the hand of Earl's mother. Colonel Griffith had won her heart and hand aud married her, and bis success so euraged Mr. Vertner that he challenged him ; a duel followed, and iu this encounter Colonel Griffith came off victorious, severely wounding his adversary. Since that day neither had spoken to the other. Meeting at Pass Christian, thu it was that though Koa could not but see that Eail Griffith admired her, and he felt that she was not in different to hie gaze, both were gov erned by the remembrance of the fued existing between their parents, and gavo no sign of recognition of the other's feelings. Toward the close of a lovely sums mer day, in the year that this story opens, tbe fair pupils of the Lake Institute had gone down the long pier leaking out into the lake, to the bath-house of the institute. Soon a merry party of damsels were splashing about in the water. It was a pretty eight, aud a hand some youth of i weutynone, clad in the stylish unitorm of the Pass Christian Military Academy, paus ed and gar.ed upon ti:e lovely scene. Suddenly a shriek wa heard, and h rial k form was '.tome away by the tid', out of reach and aid fimu hei companions. With the speed of a djer the young caiiet fped down tbe pier, renohfri the baih bonne, and bound I'd headlong in o the water. Vigorously did he breast the wave?, aud soon rapidly overtook the fair girl, who was struggling to i-uta;n herselt above the waters, for do- was a fair swimmer. Soon he came nearer, and seeing that help was at hand, her courage foisook her, and she sank beneath the waters, while shrieks of distress from tbe shore showed that her companions believed her forever ' lost. "With a deep dive, the jouth suc ceeded in catching hold of tbe drowning girl, and with renewed strength started shoreward. Brare'y did he struggle, and at last he felt that he would reach the shore, for when almost to the bath house, two of the proft6ors of the institute, alarmed by the cries of distress, had run down to the scene, aud swimming oat a few yards, had relieved the tired youth of his pre cious burden. Witnout a word, the young man turned once more sea word, and, to the surprise o.av all, commenced to swim down the eOaat. In vain did they ead to him from the shore ; ou he swam, aud night coming rapidly on, he was no long er vigdre. After continuing slowly and with Btrong and steady stroke down the coast, the cadet swam toward a pier that projected some dlstauce into tbe lake, and then drew him self, greatly latiued, from the wa ter. Looking around him to see that he was uot watched, he walked rap. idly up the pier, and struck off ac ross the fields for the academy Arriving there, he sought his loom, and reached it unperceived, wuere he hastily changed his cloth ing. Before desending to the study h ill to join bis felloWoStudents, be drevr from tbe pocket of his a at mai led jacket which he had thrown aside, a long golden curl, dampened by the sea-water. "I could uot resist tbe temptation to sever this beautiful curl from its goldon mates ; bhe will miss it, aud et fcbe. will never know who it was that saved her life.'' And carefully drying the tress of hair, the cadet placed it t-ecurely away. A great excitement was created at Pass Christian by tbe saving from a watery grave ol the beautiful Kosa Vertuer, aud of the strauge conduct of her noble preserver, who soever he might be, for it was im possible to discover his name, and all that could be ascertained was that he was a cadet from tbe Mili tary Academy. Th a much the young girls had noticed, as be spraug from the pier, and llo.sa, having become uncon scious, could not describe his feat ures. The missing curl was commented upon and the faces of all the cadets were eagerly scanned by the pupils of the Lake Institute, and the citi zens, who evinced a deep interest in (he mysterious affair, but yet an ex pression of mnoceuee rested upon every student's face, and gave no clue. Mr. Vertuer came to the Pass,and iu vain did he vi.dt the academy and endeavor to find out tbe brave youth who bad rescued his daughter from death it was useless, aud af. ter a time it was thought ot only aa a thing of the past. 'Ihree years have passed since the incidents mentioned above, aud from the shores of the sunny Gult the scene changes to the banks of :he Missippi River. Hiding slowly along the levee road are two persons a lady aud a gentleman upou horseback. Earnestly they are conversing to gether, and then the maiden draws r in, aud rests her gloved hand upon her companion's arm : "E-ul, here you must leave sne, aud forever. It is bard to give you up, but my father will never forgive and forget the past, not ever lor my sake, as dearly as he loves me. "I cannot again meet you. This morning be discovered our sect el meetings', aud forbade me ever again to see you ; and upou your re turn heme you will fiod a bitter letter fiom him, demanding my let ters. TkYou know how dearly I love you, and set you know we must part. Good-bye, E-rJ, and thit God will protect yon will ever be ra pray er." As she thus ppoke, bright dia mond tears rolled down the beouti fnl face of Rosa Vertner, and fell upon the roadside. Her campanion said : "I will not urge yoa to disobey your lailur, ltoi-a. I have ever loved you since as a little girl I osed to ee you dashing about upou yoar pony. When at the Pass at school I loved you more dearly ; and how I b'.esscd the kind fate that threw n together, untrammled by the presence of oar parents, when you cam up the river a year a,40 upou the steamer. "Theu I felt that you controlled my life's happiness, and dearly have I enjoyei onriteUn interviews. "Now all ii over, and we must part. I will do as your father asks me in bis letter return all yoa have seut me. Rosa, my own darling, good-bye !'' Thes the lovers parted, and while Rosa returned to her father's plan-. taion. a mile down the river. Earl Giiffitb leaped his horse into a cot-lon-field that bordered the river b;nk and darted away in the rii-. rectioxi-of hi own home, for death had laid his own father iu the grave, and he was master and owner of ot the largo estate. Arriving at his door, a negro messenger trow the Vertner planta tion awaited his arrival aud present ed him with a latter. Entering his sanctum, he broke the .seal, aud his brow darkened a he read tbe conteuts. "For her sake I will forbear, and for her sake I will return her let ter s every little momento of her love ; ves, all." A few mouienfB after, the ebony messenger rode away, bearing iu bis hand a small package addressed to ME. BRUNCH VENTNER, : SU2CNY SIDK PLANTATION '. Branch Vertner was paeiug the broad veranda that encircled his handsome residence. A stern, haughty mau, his brow was darkly clouded, aud his eyes wore an angry expression, as ever and anon ne glanced down the av enue, as if in expectancy. 'Ha 1 at last ! I hope be has not dared to refnse my demand ; if so " Aud he granped the package held out to him by thei negro. Breaking the sea', he glanced over the contents. The frown darkened, when his face suddenly paled. The letters aud love tink ers fell to the floor as he exciaimi ed : "What does ibis menu Iu hit) hand he held a long silken curl, Hashing like goldeu strands in the light of the setting sun. Upon a card attached, he read : "Rescued from the vvave. Pat-s Christian, Juue loth, 18 ' One moment he glauced at the card, his faee changing, with the emotions that swept over him, and then he called out to the retreating uiesseuger : "Robert; come here !" The Eegro again advanced. "Mount your horse and return at once, aud quickly, to the Griffith Manor. Present my best wishes to Mr. Earl Griffith, and say to him that J request the pleasure of seeing bim immediately at Sunny Side plantntion !" "Yes, sir." Aud while the messenger started away at full sped, Mr. Vertner con tinued his walk up and down the veranda. Au hour had not passed when Earl Griffith rode up to the door, dismounted aud ascended the broad steps, taring upon his face a puz zled expression at his strange and unexpected summons to Sunny Side. Advancing toward hin, Branch Vertner extended his hand, uhie n haid, iu a ti'm voice : "Etil Griffith, I never believed tnat yon, or one of your iace, would eer be invited across uy thiesbold. Yur pickagc sent me this eveuing told me who it was tl.at aved my daughter's life ihuo years mo; hence I bury the hatcher and offer my hand. You an- a noMe man, and I believe will accept it." Thus the fued was settled, all an imosities buiid and the (wofami lies united by the strongest ties ; for Eirl and Rosa erc married soon after and all thin lappinesa came about, through the romance of the stolen curl. Ps'o r.ngliHh dieup Laltor. The people of the nation have spoken. Their verdict is : No English cheap labor. That is the result and the mean ing of yesterday's election, in which protection, with its consequences, was the one great issue. The campaign was lought on pro tection. There was no issue cn cau didates, except as they stood for or against protection. There was no issues on parties except, as they represented tariff for public reve nue. There was no choice between the candidates as personalities or between the parties as political or ganizations. The paramount issue was protection. The lltrald set out to show that no aspect of protection Is tmre vi tally important than that ot English cyeap labor. No aspect more cloaeiy touches the iuriuati iai welfare ot ; the nation or more vitally affects the interests of its wage eainerf. Protection cau produce notffeci more disastrous to American skdled labor than an influx of English cheap labor. This is its wortit, and must be its inevitable, consequence if maintained. The UeralVs campaign was brief, but it has pioved tffective and tri umphant. It was not waged to elect Mr. Cleveland or dtifeat Mr. Harrison. U was not ruarie to help the democrats or hurt the republi cans. Iu shorf, it was not a persou. al or a political campaign. its aim was the aim of au inde pendent journal. Its purpose was simply to lay the case heiore the people by showing that protection was the great issue in vol veil and what must be the consequences to American wage earners if piotection were maintained. Clearly foreseeing that if contin ued the inevitable result rou'iI be an influx ot English cheap labor, the Herald felt confident that the toil iug masaes had only to be awaken to the danger I hat menaced their welfare to realize its significance and rise to avert if. To this end we warned the public that su h au mflux would be far more disastrous to the industrial East that the invasion of Chinese cheap labor proved to the Pacific coast, and that to meet the evil the nation would have to enact a law for the exclusion of English cheap labor as it had to pass a law to ar rest the inflow of Chinese cheap labor. That the people might see iu ad vance of its enactment t lie scope and meauiug of such a law the Her a'd published day after day on this page the text of the Chinese cheap labor law which ('.digress had to pass ami the text of the English cheap tabor law which it won! 1 hae to enact if protection weie main tained. Having thus pieMuieu tlecae forcibly and clearly, the mission ot the Herald &&u independent j u 1 1 -nal was fulfilled. It wa: ihei: IHt for the peop'e to decide. Tbcy bate now decided. Their decision fhws that at I 4 the have awaken to the fact thil a high tariff protects capital, but does not. protect labor. That it swells the profits of em ployers, but do s not increase the wages cf employ en. That protection is a boon to pros leered manufacturers because it cuts off foreign competition by clos ing American markets to English manufacturers. But that ii must prove luiuous to American wage earners, beeaut-e by cloMiig iur maikets to English manufaciuies it will close English factories ai.d mills, throw English operatives out of employment and cause a flood tide of English cheap labor to fl w into this country and joveiruu the entire field of Amencau Unit ed lab- r. j Awakened to the disastrous teiir. j-Jenci s of protection and realizing -the dDger menaced by Engl ink cheap labor, the people have render ed l heir verdict. It is against pro Jtection and aaiuot English cheap la bort P is tor American skilled la- ber aud American wage earners. The result is a popalar triumph for national congratulation. It is the voice of the American people that there shall be in this country uo English chevp labor. N. Y. Herald. li Citmo loo Late. The original principles of the Farmer's Alliance have received the commendation and endorsement of students ofjpolitic.al economy and genuine Reformers everywhere, mi eluding the greatest of them are Grover Cleveland. If thero ever was a time when that organization as a body had au opportunity to aid in a fight for real reform, that tim has been iu the campaign that closed last Tuesday. Ver before wa a battle waged so peculiarly on the line of thiis masse va. the eU-s-and never did the people respond more heartily to fhe only Jaity that was fighting b.dlle ro l.elp them. In this butile iu ny of the Vlhancemen have been ou the side i f Cleveland nd Ufonu, and it has been wholly their own fault that tl ey this year fjught umJer a new, strange and illusory banner. They weie persuaded that, the new party could win ; that it was fightiug the evils that hurdeu the farmers; and that, it was advocating the relief !he farmer needed. This was false, but good meu believed it and fol lowed the ignis satuus until brought to a sudden halt by overwhelming deieat. Who is it that has made the farmers believe that relief could come by joiuing the People's party ? First of all it has been Dr. C, W Macune, who through his paper, the National Economist has first de stroyed their faith iu the Democrat! ic prty, aud theu led them by ey stages to believe that deliverance ami help could come through the lt ogle's party, lalsely ho c lied, because the election return?, show that there are not many people in that party. Dr. Macune is largely responsible for fire brer that nuny of our people lnve lo.-t faith it; the. Democratic party, and that il.ey embarked in the wild go; use eLur-e of following Weaver, .iust five days In fore the election, hewiotethe following letter which he evidently caused to be sent out through all the daily papers. Here is the letter : "Washington, D. C , Nov., '02. To Hon. Daniel Smith, Mobile, Ala : "Dear siu and Buothhu : I take ihe liberty ot writing to you as an influential Alliance man of of your Ktute to say that I now think it necessary, if we are to pre serve the order, that we at once go to work and urge all Alliance men ( regartlless of their polilic-al atlilias tious. to again come in!o (he ranks tud put their shouhiers to the wheel, assuring them that we will make it in fact as well as in name a non partisan organization. The .'iiplete defeat of t lie People's par rs which has every day been more apparent since the Geoig a election, miib' r:ot 1 e dio'ed to destroy the Ai r; nee, and we can prevent it by twnelv and wise action. Let the spirit ot intolerance cese. "Fraternally, W. C, MACUNE." It Dr. .Macune had been ;t wise ! i:ier, he would n t hsve pursued toiif-e ih-t h is brought only dis app :ntireut and rhatrered hopes to all the people v. ho listened to him. The people t:iitt a man once, but when, because t::ey listen to him, they are led into disaster, ihey will prefer another leader when they again want to wage battle. If the Alliance is to regain its in fluence it must first of all put some other mau than Mr. Macune iu tbe lead. It is the policy he and the green tuckets iu the order have pur sued that baa carried it largely into a new patty an J caused it to lose most of its members. If there is to be au Alliancemau of power and u-elulnte, there will have to be an nfu-iou of new tdood, and that men who have ahandouen it because of Weaver ism au 1 Macundism will have to be ree died and asked again to help direct its destiny, Bat the Alliance cannot survive (honest men will not stay with it) anless the members of Gideon's Band, such as Dr. Macune aud 3. Otho Wilson are made to step down aud our. .V. Carolinian. Subs i de itu ::."e COUKlEli.
