But. while the Associated Press dis patches make It clear that Hanna and General Grosvenor promoted Hon. ciian uicu. as aroresaia. uy pome soch formula as "Kneel. Colonel Dick: re cp. General Dickr they leave one j point In mystery, and that is whether 1 f Hon. Charles Dick Is Brigadier General Ilck. Major General Dick. Lieutenant i General Dick or full General Dick. I 1 wish General Grosvenor. who Is fertile in resources, would vouchsafe' us a bill f fisrTi?nlars as to General Dick's ex- ' act rant. It would save trouble and would enable a seeker after truth to estimate somewhat approximately at least General Dick's perquisites, for in th!a day of liberal 'allowances" to gen erals It truly must be that a full gener al or a lieutenant general or even a major general will t-e more munificent' ly "allowanced than a paltry briga dier; but. whatever; particular jpecies of general Hon. Charles Dick uow is, I. suggest to General Grosvenor, the great keynoter, that he go Into this campaign with the thrilling battlecry of "Dick and liberty forever!" MoKInler't Fnglemaa. I have one poignant regret touching the Philadelphia' convention, and that Is that for one brief, halcyon moment I cannot control the divers and sundry brass bands which will make the wel kin ring on that occasion. If I were in charge, just as General Grosvenor. the real leader of the Ohio Big Four ap peared, followed by Senator Foraker, once fondly called "Little Breeches' by his admirers and denominated "Flrel Alarm" by those who loved him not, I would have all th bands strike up Lo. the Conquering tlero Comes r General Grosvenor'a going to Phila delphia as chief fugleman is in keeping with the eternal fitness of things. He helped to rock the cradle of the Repub lican party, and no one Is better en titled to follow its hearse' By long and distinguished service In the cause of McKiuleyism he has achieved "the bad eminence of being chief mourner at its fuaeraL The Ohio platform is as remarkable for what it omits as for what it con tains that is. It would be remarkable If It bad been made by any other set of men on tOD of around erceDt Ohio Republican platform makers. I put In th!s saving statement because it will be remembered that in 1S9G ,the Ohio Republicans put such an amaz ing and enigmatical financial plank In their platform that it remains an In soluble marvel to this day. vThis time they practically ignore the Pbrto Rican tariff bill and the princi ple, Tbe less said the sooner mended," but if they suppose that by playing the role of ostrich and. hiding their head In the sand, they have shifted discus sion as to that question, they are reck oning without their host. They will have to debate that question. never fear, and to explain the president's change ut mind and heart and Mr. Chairman Sereno E. Payne's lofty somersault and the mental acrobatic feats of certain other Republican statesmen. Great Aerobatics. It was. however, when they struck- the trust "question that the Ohio plat form builders achieved their-greatest success in acrobatics. I don't know whether, to give General Grosvenor credit for this, as the press reports say it was "added to the platform brought from Washington." However that may be, 1 regard it as a gem. Here it is: Tbe Republican party of Ohio stands committed to legislative and executive opposition to the threatening ctettbinatioot of capital that seek to restrict competition and Mine independent pro ducers. We invite within our borders the capital istic investments that are material to the indus trial developraeiit of the state and the largest em ployment of la Lor, but we insist that injurious combinations shall be forbidden and so called trusts shall be regulated from time to time and be o restricted to guarantee immunity from hurt ful monopoly and assure fair treatment and pro tection to si) competing industries. I defy any mortal man to tell what It rneanV It appears to be an attempt to be all things to all men. thereby hoping to. win s6me- It makes one diz zy to try to fathom It. People not im mune to the vertigo and apoplexy will leave It severely alone. Self Nominated Doss. There is one thing about the recent Ohio Republican convention to which I wish to particularly call the pro found, prolonged and prayerful atten tion of Hon, William Eaton Chandler, senior senatpr'from New Hampshire, as well as adviser in general to the universe and to the Republican party in " particular. It is the miraculous manner in which Hon. Marcus A. Han na "effaced himself. It will be re membered that some, months ago Sen ator Chandler informed Senator Han na by an open letter, public Interview or some such document that the best way to Insure success for the Republic an party was for the former to "efface himself." At that time I pointed out to the" Granite Mountain statesman and philosopher that he was "seeking the unattainable" after the manner of Boston transcendentalists; that Invent ing perpetual motion, extracting moon beams from green cucumbers, binding Its odor to the lily or the sea to slum ber stilly all this was dead easy easy as falling off a log, and a slipper; log at that compared to the job he had undertaken of inducing Senator Hanna to "efface himself." The task of Sisyphus and the labors of Hercules were holiday performances when brought into competition with th--work of effacing Mark or of inducing that illustrious patriot to ."efface him self." Now. I am in position to say to Senator Chandler, "I told you so." Mark did some "effacing" at Colum bus, but by what must appear a strange frocess to Senator Chandler it was the other fellow Mark "effaced" and not himself. Mark doesn't object to doing political murder, . but he draws the line at political suicide. It isnt re corded that Mark's great prototype, the Old Man of the Sea. destroyed him self. Au contraire. as our Gallic friends would say. Sindbad gave him tbe coup de grace. I guess Senator Chandler ha"s read thr.t entrancing story. Mark chaenges admiration by the open manner in which he practices in tne last year or tne nmeteentu cen turyIf not the first of the twentieth that some men most men are born Into this world to be ridden and oth ers very few are born, booted and spurred, to ride the many. Mark is the self nominated boss rider. Spring and Season 1900. - . : OUR HEW SPECIAL IIIDUCEIJEIIT . , To ylail Order Customers . . SEND TOR CATALOGUE NO. 7.

THE chateau of Vert-Cotcaa and thai of ' lioia-r'ieun were distant trotn ecu olaer only a few hundred yards. .Not a day pari that Count 1'ierre de Courvai. owner ol Yert-Coteau. aa be parsed alotg the road on hi hors. did not look over the hedge into the grounds of tm neighbor; nor that Barenesa de Korboo. owner of Boia-Flcun. as she galloped by on her beautiful; nore, Strapontin, could not have looked into Her ceigubor'a ground had she turned ber head to do o. . . , . . Sonetimes while nding tbey m. and passed each other, when, instead ot a friend Jy greeting which ucb close neighbor might reasonably be supposed to give, each head wa turned fc&ide and the expression of each face became one of disdain. Some times, how ever, the baroness did not turn away, bvt looked straight at her neightor with a sardonic mi1e oa her ?p ami a gleam of amused nisJice in her eye, whnrh the count felt rather than saw, and which made him furious, lie wou!d stop and watch the horse ar.d rider out of sight and mutter imprecation under his breath. To-day the barone had looked at him hi stead of turning her head away, and he had looked, too. and met the loveliest eyes in lh world full of malicious laughter and con tempt, and, a usual, he a angry. He pulled up and turned in the saddle. "What 'a magnificent animal !", he said aloud. "And to think that "such a creature as that' woman should own him! - How I hate her!' lreiention9.'conceited! I will find a way to get -eveo with her yet 111 mke her as ridiculous as she has made me!" And he rode on. -trying to think of some scheme by which he conSd be revenged. . "1 have it' he cried, at last, and rubben hia band with delight. . That night he went to see hw lawyer, the only one in the little village, v "M.Clavin. the count began. "I am think ing f fencing in that bit of road which run awt's mylnendow by the river. "lint, M. le Couth," objected the lawyer. "1 am not so sure that lha road belongs ex elusively to you." - "1 have papers which prove that it does." replied the count. "I hal! build a high fence at tbe north end of it, a I do not mean to have it used in future. "Are you aware that the baroness and yourself, are the only people who use the road, and that her daily ride leads her al ways through this very spot? Do you know that she will have to make a lonx detour if you close this way? I know- it perfectly," replied the count. calmly, "and that is why I am dorag it. , bhe will probably go to law to contest your right. : . "That ts my thought exactly. "You desire a lawsuit, then?" . "When I am sure of wtnfcine it. ye." "If it would net be impertinent on my part, I should greatly like to uk what the baroness can have done to have gained an enemy in you. monsieur. The count liked nothing better thaa a recital of hi grievance, and so he beean: "You know I have lived here only a few years. Before I came to Vert-Cbfeau I lived rn Paris, and few men enioved life there more than I did. until I met a certain yourn? girl. 1 fell deeply m love with her, and finally proposed to her. She told me to speak to her parents, at the same time show ing me that 1 was at least not disagreeable to her. t ell, tbe parents fiatly refused my offer, saying that their daughter was already engaged to Baron de fvorfcon. 1 The count paused, and the lawyer said: "A love affair ia at the root of the matter. then?" - V . "Xo, there is more than that. . I left Pari broken-hearted and bought an estate here and lived quietly for awhile. Then, one morning, in the village paper, I saw the an nouncement that , the youcg Itaroness de Korbon, a widow, had purchased tbe estate next to mine. You may imagine bow re joiced I felt. I still loved her and thought that now the way waa open to me and that 1 might win her. When she came I sent a note asking her if I might call, and received a curt reply in the third person, stating that the baroness was in mourning and saw no one." "You should not have been offended at that." put in the listener. "I wa not in "the least offended. She would not forever be in mourning. I thought, and I would yet have my chance. I would perhaps meet her on the road ome day and we could quite naturally fall into a conver sation. Well, at last 1 didneet her and bowed to ber with perfect politeness. What do you think she did?" The count paused for emphasis. "She cut-me eonrpletely! Looked a though she had never seen ma before." 'v "I am surprised that the baroness could do such a thing." said Ciavin "she has al ways seemed to me tbe very essence of kind ness and rjod will. And i. one afternoon, tsie fence was built. an.d: next morning the count took himself to the spot to enjov tbe- discom fiture of the baroness. Be knew the time of her ride, and seated himself on a pile of stones and leu surely rolled and lit a ciga 0m - ; At last there was a sound of hoofs and then the beautiful baroness galloped around a bend in the road which was very near the fence. Whec she saw it she pulled up sharply and surveyed it, "Mv enemy bulwarks." she said alond. and then she saw the count and blushed fun ouslv. There was a moment's hesitation, and the woman looked at the height of the fence. Her face expressed uncoquerable deter mination. She turned and rode back a short distance, then turned again and rode straight at the fence. The count realixed that she was going to attempt to leap it. and a sickening corroi turned his face white. He sprang forward and caught tbe horse bridle. . "You must be mad." he cried, "to try to take such a leap! You would kill yourself!" "I would much rather die than turn bark. replied the bareness, her eye fja&tnng with anger and excitement. The count still held the bridle, and thev rertfeined thus. looking into each other's eyes. Suddenly he said: - hy do you hate me so? . "Because you have shewn me nothing but contemptuous indifference and made me hale you!" . . . - "1 indifferent, to you? I loved yon rears ago with all rhy soul and body, and now. in spite of your hatred. I love you still!" Tbe baroness trembled and her breath came quickly. " " "Then why did you go away and let m must have known-"-thal I loved you? ; - "But I did not know! Oh! my dearest, is It too late now" t"nVyon love memffiiin?"
