CHAPTER V Continued
i Such was the talk and such was
r
the mood of the people when the hour
arrived for the business of Althing to
begin and when all eyes turned to
the little wooden Thing House by the
side of the church wherein the
Thing men were wont to gather for
their procession to the Mount of
Laws And when the hour passed
and the procession had not yet ap
r3peared the whisper went around that
the Governor had not arrived and
that the day was meant to humor
him At that the people began to
mutter among themselves for the
slumbering fire of their national
spirit had been stirred By his tardy
coming the Governor meant to hu
miliate them But Governor or no
Governor let Althing begin its sitting
Who was the Governor that Althing
should wait for him What was Al
thing that it should submit to the
whim or the will of any Governor
Within the Thing House as well as
outside of it such hot protests must
have had sway for presently the door
of the little place was thrown open
and the six and thirty Thing men
came out
Then followed the solemn ceremon
ies that had been observed on the
spot for nigh a thousand years First
walked the Chief Judge carrying the
sword of justice and behind him
walked his magistrates and Thing
men They ascended to the Mount
by a flight of steps cut out of its
overhanging walls At the same mo
ment another procession that of the
old Bishop and his clergy came out
of the church and ascended to the
Mount by a similar flight of steps cut
out of the opposite side of it The
two companies parted the Thing men
to the north and the clergy to the
south leaving the line of this natural
causeway open and free save for the
Judge who stood at the head of it
with the Bishop to the right of him
and the Governors empty place to the
left
And first the Bishop offered prayer
for the sitting of Althing that was
then to begin
Thou Judge of Israel he prayed
in the terrible words which had de
scended to him through centuries
Thou that sittest upon the cherub
nms come down and help Thy people
O most mighty God who art more
pleased with the sacrifice of thanks
giving than with the burnt offerings
-of bullocks and goats keep now our
mouths from guile and deceit from
slander and from obloquy O Lord
-God most holy 0 Lord most
mighty endue Thy ministers with
righteousness Give them mercy that
they may judge mercifully Let them
judge this nation as Thou wilt judge
Thy people Let them remember that
he who takes the name of justice for
his own profit or hatred or revenge is
worse than the vulture that watches
lor the carcass Let them not forget
tbat howsoever high they stand they
take from hence but the oak of their
coffin Let them be sure that when
Thou shalt appear with a consuming
fire before Thee and a tempest round
about Thee calling the heaven and
-the earth together no portion can
they have in that day like to the por
tion of thine inheritance
The fierce prayer came to and end
-and then the Judge holding his sword
erect read his charge and repeated
his oath to deal justly between man
and man even as the sword stood up
Tight before him And the vast as
sembly of rude men in sheepskins and
Jn homespun looked on and listened
all silent and solemn all worshipful
of law and reverent of its forms
The oath being taken the Judge
had laid the sword aside and begun
to promulgate the new laws reading
them clause by clause first in Ice
landic and then in Danish when
there was an uneasy movement at
the outskirts of the crowd to the
west of the Mount
The Governor whispered one
Its himself muttered another
Hes here at last murmured a third
- and dark were the faces turned round
to see It was the Governor indeed
and he pushed his way through the
closely packed people who saw him
coming but stood together like a wall
until riven apart by his ponys feet
At the causeway he dismounted and
stepped up to the top of the Mount
He looked old and feeble and torn by
evil passions his straight gray hair
lung like blasted sheaf on to his shoul
ders his forehead was blistered with
blue veins his cheeks were guttered
-with wrinkles his little eyes were
ruei his jaw was broad and heavy
and his mouth was hard and square
The Judge made his no obeisance
but went on with his reading The
Bishop seemed not to see him but
gazed steadfastly forward The Thing
snen gave no sign
He stood a moment and looked
around and the people below could see
his wrath rising like a white hand
across his haggard face Then he in
terrupted and said Chief Justice I
have something to say
All heard the words and the Speak
er stopped and amid the breathless
silence of the people he answered
quietly There will be a time and a
place for that your Excellency
The time is now and the place is
Tiere cried Jorgen Jorgensen in a
tense voice and quivering with anger
Listen to me The rebel and traitor
who once usurped the government of
this island has escaped
Escaped cried a hundred voices
Michael Sunlocks cried as many
more
And a wave of excitement passed
over the vast essembly
Yes Michael Sunlocks has escaped
cried Jorgen Jorgensen That scound
rel is at liberty He is free to do his
wicked work again Men of Iceland
I call on you to help me I call on
you to help the Crown of Denmark
The traitor must be taken I call on
you to take him
A
Conttatfcg
Story
A deep murmur ran through the
closely pressed people
Youve got your guards shouted a
voice from below Why do you come
to us
Because cried Jorgen Jorgensen
my guards are protecting Reykjavik
and because they might scour your is
land a hundred years and never find
what they lookd for
Thank God muttered another
voice from below
But you know it every fell and
fiord cried Jorgen Jorgensen and
never a toad could skulk under a stone
but you would root him out of it
Chief Justice he added sweeping
about I have a request to make of
you
What is it your Excellency said
the Judge
That you should adjourn this Al
thing so that every man here present
may go out in search of the traitor
Then a loud involuntary murmur of
dissent rose from the people and at
the same moment the Judge said in
bewilderment What can your Excel
lency mean
I mean cried Jorgen Jorgensen
that if- you adjorn this Althing for
three days the traitor will be taken
If not he will be at liberty as many
years Will you do it
Your Excellency said the Judge
Althing has lived nigh upon a thou
sand years and every other year for
that thousand years it has met on this
ancient ground but never once since
it began has the thing you ask been
done
Let it be done now cried Jorgen
Jorgensen Will you do it
We will do your duty by your Ex
cellency said the Judge and we will
expect your excellency to do your duty
by ours
But this man is a traitor cried
Jorgen Jorgensen and it is your duty
to help me to capture him Will you
do it
And this day is ours by ancient
right and custom said the Judge
and it is your duty to stand aside
I am here for the King of Den
mark cried Jorgen Jorgensen and
I ask you to adjourn this Althing
Will you do it
And we are here for the people of
Iceland said the Judge and we ask
you to step back and let us go on
Then Jorgen Jorgensens anger knew
no bounds
You are subjects of the King of
Denmark he cried
Before ever Denmark was we
were answered the Judge proudly
And in his name I demand that you
adjourn Will you do it now cried
Jorgen Jorgensen with a grin of tri
umph
No cried the Judge lifting an un
daunted face to the face of Jorgen Jor
gensen
The people held their breath through
this clash of words but at the Judges
brave answer a murmur of approval
passed over them Jorgen Jorgensen
heard it and flinched but turned back
to the Judge and said
Take care If you do not help me
you hinder me if you are not with
me you are against me Is that man
a traitor Answer me yes or no
But the Judge made no answer and
there was dead silence among the peo
ple for they knew well in what way
the cruel question tended
Answer me yes or no Jorgen Jor
gensen cried again Then the Bishop
broke silence and said
Whatever our hearts may be your
Excellency our tongues must be si
lent
At that Jorgen Jorgensen faced
about to the crowd
I put a price on his head he cried
Two thousand kroner to anyone who
takes him alive or dead Who will
earn it
No Icelander earns money with
blood said the Bishop If this
thing is our duty we will do it with
out pay If not no bribe will tempt
us
Ay ay shouted a hundred voices
Jorgen Jorgensen flinched again and
his face whitened as he grew darker
within
So I see how it is he said look
ing steadfastly at the Bishop the
Judge and the Thing men You are
aiding this traitors escape You are
his allies every man of you And you
are seducing deceiving the people
Then he faced about towards the
crowd more and more and cried in a
loud voice
Men of Iceland you know the man
who has escaped You know what he
is and where he came from you
know heis not one of ourselves but
a bastard Englishman Then drive
him back home Listen to me What
price did I put on his head Two
thousand kroner I will give ten
thousand Ten thousand kroner for
the man who takes him alive and
twenty thousand kroner do you hear
me twenty thousand kroner for the
man who takes him dead
Silence cried the Bishop Who
are you sir that you dare tempt
men to murder
Murder cried Jorgen Jorgensen
See how simple are the wise Men
of Iceland listen to me again The
traitor is an outlaw You know what
that means His blood is on your
own head Any man may shoot him
down No man may be called to ac
count for doing so Do you hear me
It is the law of Iceland the law of
Denmark the law of the world He
is an outlaw and killing him is no
murder Follow him up Twenty
thousand kroner to the man who lays
him at his feet
He would have said more for he
was heaving with passion and his
white face had grown purple but his
tongue seemed suddenly paralyzed and
his wide eyes fixed themselves on
something at the outskirts of the
crowd One thin and wrinkled hand
he lifted up and pointed tremblingly
over the heads of the people There
he said in a smothered cry and after
that he was silent
The crowd shifted and looked
around amid a deep murmur of sur
prise and expectation Then by one
of the involuntary impulses that move
great assemblies the solid wall of
human beings seemed to part of itself
and make a way for someone
It was Red Jason carrying Michael
Sunlocks across his breast and shoul
der His bronzed cheeks were worn
his sunken eyes burned with a dull
fire He strode on erect and strong
through the riven way of men and
women A breathless silence seemed
to follow him When he came to the
foot of the Mount he stopped and
let Sunlocks dropgently to the ground
Sunlocks was insensible and his pite
ous white face looked up at the heavy
dome of the sky A sensation of awe
held the vast crowd spellbound It
was as if the Almighty God had heard
the blasphemy of that miserable old
man and given him on the instant his
impious wish
To Be Continued
FINES MAY REACH MILLION
Successful Raid Mado on Keepers of
Game Birds
John E Overton a state game pro
tector discovered 2100 game birds in
the Arctic Freezing Warehouse in New
York The possession of game birds
at this season by any one in the state
of New York or the killing of such
birds is a misdemeanor subject to fine
The fine is 60 for the first offense and
25 for each bird As there were over
2100 birds found the company may
be called upon to pay a fine of 52500
Mr Overton only searched two rooms
There are forty seven more rooms
which may contain more game birds
It is thought that all told there are
nearly 100000 birds in the house This
would make the warehouse people
liable to fines amounting to 2500000
if the letter of the law could be en
forced The raid according to Mr
Overton is the largest ever made in
New York and was most successful
owing to the fact that it reveals where
this vast amount of unlawful game is
being sent from Most of it comes
from the far West The authorities at
the freezing plant assert that the birds
are not their property but are sent
there in cases and barrels to be stored
They say also that they have no knowl
edge of just what L in the place but
the law holds that any one having
game out of season in his possession
will be held responsible and subject
to the fine They said they did not
know -where the game came from or
where it went as they were in the
cold storage business not dealers in
game or poultry Exchange

Hoes Stins Horses To Death
The other day as Frank ONeil an
employe of Miller Lux was driving
a team hitched to a derrick wagon
near Los Banos Mexico his horses
were attacked by bees and stung to
death while he had a narrow escape
with his own life The bees find their
best feed on Millers immense alfalfa
fields and are swarming around so
thick that it is often unsafe for teams
to pass them As soon as they were
attacked the animals jumped sidewise
and broke the wagon tongue and the
driver at once ct the team loose One
animal jumped a fence into a place
where the bees were and was stung
to death in a few minutes while the
other ran for the plow camp where
it died a few hours later ONeil was
literally covered with bee stings but
fortunately they did not seem to poi
son him as badly as they do some peo
ple and he has recovered The team
was one of the largest and most gen
tie on the Miller Lux ranch

- - Who Wrota It
These are words of weighty import
They involve consequences of the most
momentous character I take leave to
say that if the principles thus an
nounced should ever receive the sanc
tion of a majority of this court a radi
cal and mischievous change in our sys
tem of government will be the result
Wo will in that event pass from the
era of constitutional liberty guarded
and protected by a written constitu
tion into an era of legislative absolut
ism
Here is a serious charge brought
against the majority of the supreme
couri of the United States The court
is accused of bringing about a change
in our system of government not
onty a change but radical and mis
chievous change It is charged that
in the event of that decision and the
decision was made constitutional
liberty would be lost and an era of
legislative absolutism ushered in
What graver indictment could be
brought against our highest judicial
tribunal Who wrote it Who is
guilty of thus reflecting upon the pa
triotism and purpose of the court Let
the republican papers ferret out the
culprit and visit coicdign punishment
upon him Let him feel the righteous
wrath of those pure and im vmte
souls who always bow to o court de
cision when it is on their side and
never utter a reflection againt a judge
unless he decides against them
Who wrote the words above quoted
Did they emanate from a demagogue
was this the wail of a defeated candi
date was it the speech of some disturb
er of the peace some stirrer up of dis
content
Nc the words will be found in a dis
senting opinion of a justice of the su
preme court of the United States of
America A democratic justice No
A populist justice No A silver re
publican justice No
What then They are the words of
a republican justice of the supreme
court Justice Harlan appointed by a
republican president
Hereafter when republican papers
desire to condemn those who criticize a
supreme court decision let them begin
at tbe top and assail Justice Harlan
first After they have administered to
him the rebuke which he from their
standpoint deserves they will be too
much exhausted to attack those who
quote Justice Harlan againt the court
Bo Vigilant
Several states hold elections ihia fall
and these elections will have an im
portant bearing upon the party as well
as upon the nation
The reorganizing element is seeking
to secure control of the party it does
not openly proclaim its hostility to
the Kansas City platform nor does it
propose a platform for the considera
tion of the voters
Its plan of operation is to put for
ward candidates for the party organiza
tion who are not in harmony with the
principles or puiposes of the party
They work under cover of a desire for
harmony but it is the harmony the
burglar desires when he hopes that the
members of the family will not awake
until the valuables are removed from
the house The democratic party has
no reason for existence except as it
champions the rights and interests of
the masses
It ha made its recent campaigns
beginning with 1896 almost without
money and yet the party has polled a
larger vote than it ever polled when it
had a large campaign f una it can se
cure a large campaign fund again
whenever the leaders of the party make
secret pledges to the corporations but
these pledges will not be made by lead
ers whom the people trust
Lf the men who deserted the party in
1896 or in 1900 are put at the head of
the party before they give evidence of
a change of heart they will drive more
voters away from the party than they
will bring to it
The rank and file of the democratic
party can respect an honest republican
who calls himself a republican but
they will not respect a dishonest re
publican who calls himself a democrat
The democratic party has adopted a
patriotic platform it has asserted the
right of the American people to have a
financial policy of their own to have
industrial independence among the
people and constitutional government
wherever the flag floats If the party
will stand firm it can expect victory
whenever the people realize the dan
gerous tendency of republican policies
But if the democratic party passes
under the control of men who are in
harmony with republican ideas the
party will be in no position to appeal
to the confidence of the people If re
publican policies are good the republi
can party has a right to administor
them and it should be permitted to
enjoy the protection of its copyright
Those who believe in democratic prin
ciples as set forth in the Kansas City
platform must be vigilant and that
vigilance must begin with the prima
ries Do not allow a man to be placed
upon any committee precinct county
state or national unless he is a believ
er in the Kansas City platform If a
man opposed to the Kansas City plat
form is sent as a delegate to any con
vention he should be bound by instruc
tions and should have associated with
him a sufficient majority who are sound
on the platform If a man objects to
instructions leave him at home no
democratic delegate will object to an
expression from the voters whom he
seeks to represent
A republican speech would not sound
well at a wool growers banquet this
year
Mr DeLima is one man who under
stands the decision in the Porto Eican

reading maketh a full man was nev

Extracts from W J Bryans Paper J

They Distrust a Cubar Patriot
Now it is reported that the adminis
tration politicians propose to take a
hand in Cuban politics They are op
posed to the election of the Cuban pa
triot Maximo Gomez to be the first
president of the new republic It is
said that these adminstration politi
cians distrust General Gomez and
the present mayor of Havana acting
under the inspiration of Governor
General Wood is now organizing a
party to accomplish General Gomez
defeat
It will be interesting to have some
of these administration politicians ex
plain to us by what authority they in
terfere in the political affairs of Cuba
It is interesting to be told that these
politicians who properly have no con
cern in Cuban affairs distrust tho
man who imperiled his life defense
of Cuban independence
Ms It True
The New York World is authority
for this statement The World is also
in a position to announce on unim
peachable authorit3r that two days be
fore the Porto Rican cases were decid
4 crurc had unanimously agreed
that the constitution was in force
wherever the United States exercised
sovereignty But immediately before
the court met to make its decision pub
lic Justice Brown changed his attitude
on the question
If we accept this as a correct state
ment it would seem strange that Jus
tice Brown could on so short a notice
make so material a change Justice
Browns opinion was a most radical
one It is to be hoped however that
the Worlds unimpeachable authority
may be successfully impeached The
character of Justice Browns opinion
bad as it is is not so bad as would be a
condition wherein Justices of the high
est court in the land flopped on a mom
ents notice In the income tax decis
ion we had one instance of a judge
changing his mind between sessions
and that instance did considerable
damage to the supreme court
Corporations Should Pay for Privileges
The supreme court of New Jersey has
held that the towns of that state
may tax the road bed and appurtenan
ces of street railway and other compan
ies using public thoroughfares This
decision is in support of a franchise
tax law enacted in 1900 Under this
law New Jersey towns may collect two
per cent on the gross receipts of cor
porations enjoying the privilege of
using the public streets To be sure
the corporations object to this tax but
it is strange that all the municipalities
of this country have not required cor
porations to payf or the high privileges
they enjoy
Money In Circulation
The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record Eerald says that
an indication of national prosperity
is to be found in the large volume of
money in circulation This now
amounts to 2182570890 a gain of
more than 8100000000 over the amount
in circulation a year ago In the last
twenty two years the gain in circula
tion amounts to the tremendous sum
of 31368310169 The circulation per
capita is now the largest in the coun
trys history amounting to 33 Z
One year ago it was 326 7J
Can it h ijte hz She large vol
ume of money in circulation is any
basis for national prosperity
Can it be possible that the bitwjtal
lists were not wholly wrong when they
insisted that the country needed a lar
ger volume of money in circulation
The Abuses of Despotism
For good or for ill says the Phila
delphia Ledger the principle has
been declared that the United States
may through congress govern subject
peoples It is unlikely any abuses
will be committed unker this principle
but it is a principle that admits of the
abuses of despotism
The Philadelphia Ledger is to be
congratulated on its sublime confi
dence The Ledger should however
know that already great abuses have
been committed under this principle
the very abuses in fact against which
our own forefathers rebelled and for
the destruction of which they took ap
arms
A principle that admits of the abuses
of despotism has no place in a free
country
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty and no people can safely depend
for their liberties upon the pleasure or
generosity of one man or set of men
The government that sanctions a
principle that admits of the abuses of
despotism5 has already taken on the
elements of a monarchy
When any men seek to establish in
a free country a principle that ad
mits of the abuses of despotism it is
time for men who love liberty to make
effective protest against the innova
tion
The courts have recently been called
upon to restrain market speculation
In this case the judge held that the
dealers could not legally sell stocks
which they did not own This would
seem a very simple proposition and yet
if the principle were firmly established
it would go a long way toward pre
venting stock market gambling
Mr Morris K Jessup likes to prate
about the bonds between Great Brit

bonds stopped drawing interest would

AMERICAN KEPUBLICS
BROTHERHOOD OF NATIONS OF
THE WESTERN VORLDi
Secretary of State John Hay Spealcj at
Buffalo sf the Mutual nolpfoln of
Countries Sepresentei at tho Pan-
Amerlcaa Exposition
The following brilliant address was
given by Secretary of State John Hay
at a banquet given by the directors of
the Pan American exposition to the
National Editorial Association in Buf
falo on a recent evening more than
one thousand being present
Last night as I looked from my
window at this marvelous creation
lined in fire upon the evening sky and
today as I have walked through tho
courts and the palaces of this incom
parable exhibition the words of tho
prophet have been constantly in my
mind Your old men shall dream
dreams your young men shall see
visions We who are old have through
many hopeful years dreamed this
dream It was noble and inspiring
leading to earnest and uplifting labor
And now we share with you who are
young the pleasure of beholding this
vision far nobler and moro inspiring
than the dream This idol of tho
brotherhood cf the nations of the
western world is not a growth of yes
terday It was heralded when the
country was young by the clarion voice
of Henry Clay it was cherished by
Seward and Evarts by Douglas and
by Blaine Twelve years ago we held
the first reunion of the American re
publics Much was said and done des
tined to be memorable in our history
opening and blazing the way along
the path of peace and fraternal rela
tions We have made steady progress
we have grown day by day to a better
understanding until now we are look
ing to our coming conference in the
City of Mexico in which we have the
right to hope that with larger experi
ence and profounder study of the great
problems before us results still more
important and beneficent will be
reached As a means to these endsas a
concrete realization of those generous
dreams which have led us thus far
we have this grand and beautiful spec
tacle never to be forgotten a delight
to the eyes a comfort to every patriot
heart that during the coming sum
mer shall make the joyous pilgrimage
to this enchanted scene where lake
and shore and sky the rich bright city
throbbing with vigorous life and in
the distance the flash and roar of the
stupendous cataract unite their varied
attractions in one charm of powerful
magic such as the world has seldom
seen There has been statesmen and
soldiers who have cherished the fancy
in past years of a vast American army
recruited from every country between
the Arctic and the Antarctic seas
which should bind us together in one
immense military power that might
overawe the older civilizations But
this conception belongs to the past to
an order of things that has gone I
hope forever by How far more in
spiring is the thought of the results
we see here now how much more in
keeping with the better times in whose
light we live and the still more glori
ous future to which we look forward
is the result we see today of the armie3
of labor and intelligence in every
country of this new world all work
ing with one mind and one will not to
attain an unhappy pre eminence in the
art of destruction but to advance in
liberal emulation in the arts which
tend to make them happier and better
to make this long harassed and tor
mented earth a brighter and more
blest abode for men of good will Ap
plause
Our hearts have glowed within us
as we have surveyed at every turn the
evidences of the equality and fraternity
of progress under skies so distant un
der conditions so varying as those
which obtain between Alaska and Cape
Horn I remember how at a Worlds
Fair in Paris a great writer exclaim
ed What a prodigious amount of
intelligence there is in the world We
can say with hearts full of gratitude
and pride How prodigious is the prog
ress of intelligence and industry in
this New World of ours
All the triumphs of the spirit and
of the skilled hands of labor the gar
nered treasures of science the witch
eries of art the spoils of earth and air
and sea are gathered here to warn to
delight to encourage and reward the
ever striving the indomitable mind of
man Here you have force which en
ables men to conquer and tame the
powers of nature wealth not meant
as Tennyson sang to rest in moulded
heaps but smit with the free light to
melt and fatten lower lands beauty
not for the selfish gratification of the
few but for the joy of the many to
fill their days with gladness and their
nights with music
