Lincoln, Neb., Oct. .-In the admin
la tratlon of Governor William A. Poyn
ter the public affairs of the state of Ne
braska have been well conserved. He
has well and closely guarded all of the
tate's Interests. He has been conserva
tive In all his official acts, and at all
tiroes alert to promote and advance
the welfare of all the people of the
commonwealth- In the early and most
trying days of his administration he
was confronted with many grave prob
lems, all of which he aucceaiitully treat
ed, with honor to the state, and credit
to himself.
THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
Upon the theory of encouraging the
beet augar Industry In this state the
republican legislature of 1895 passed an
act authorising the payment of
bounty of 11.00 per ton, to be paid to
the growers of sugar beets. This act
was passed over the veto of Silas A.
Holcomb, the governor of the state at
that time. For some reason best known
to themselves, this' same republican
legislature failed to make any provision
In the way of an appropriation to meet
the claims that would naturally arise
as a result of the passage of such an
act.
Oovernor Poynter, In his Inaugural
address to the legislature of 1899, also
republican, treating upon this subject,
said: "I am, individually, and the party
of which I am a member, Is opposed
absolutely to the protective policy of
taxing one Industry for the upbuilding
of another; but my party is not now,
nor has it ever been at any time, either
In theory or practice. In favor of re
pudiation In the smallest degree. The
.legislature having made a bad bargain
f jT the state, should not be relieved of
that bargain by a subterfuge or upon
technicalities. The sugar bounty act
of 1895 has created a number of Just
claims against the state, which are now
In the hands of the farmers who grew
the sugar beets. I recommend that
you make provision for the payment of
all claims arising from the act of 1895
which may be presented by the actual
growers of sugar beets In the state,
whenever such claims are properly at-
the proper authorities."
That provision for payment of these
claims was not made is well known,
and brands the republican party as a
party of repudiation and as falsely
pretending to promote and foster one
of the state's Industries.
VETO OF SUBTERFUGE RESOLU
TION. The legislature of 1899, in Its pre
tended love for the volunteer soldier
then In the Philippine Inlands, in an
adroitly constructed resolution, at
tempted to secure the governor's offi
cial approval of the policy of the pres
snt republican national administration
in Its war In the Philippines. The gov
ernor In his message to the legislature
strongly approved of the vote of thank?
In the following words:
"No one has a higher regard for the
bravery and gallantry of our brave
soldiers In the far-away Philippines
than I. No encomiums that can be
spoken for them would exceed the
bounds of propriety. The state of Ne
braska Is and has a Just right to be
proud of the First Nebraska volunteers.
We acknowledge with gratitude and
Joy the debt the state owes them by
reason of the honor conferred upon It
by their valor. We pledge the honor I
f the state that to the living shall be
accorded worthy distinction, and to
the dead all that can be given the
dead a fitting memorial It their fame."
But regarding the conflict then car
ried on he said:
"I cannot stultify myself and the
calm Judgment of the thinking people
,f this commonwealth by giving offi
cial approval to the statement that the
war of conquest now carried on In the
far-away Philippines la In defense of
the principles of our government, and
Is adding new glory to our flag."
The governor, after much effort, final
ly succeeded In obtaining from the re
publican legislature the small appropri
ation of 12,000 to be used for the com
fort of the sick snd wounded Nebraska
volunteers then In the field. When It
Is remembered that the stats had about
4,000 volunteers It Is readily seen how
mynlficent (?) the gift. Hs did mors.
When the general government had or
dered the First Nebraska regiment
mustered out of tha service at Ban
Francisco tha volunteer was practically
left stranded. Tha governor Immedl
. stely sat about lo secure transporta
tion boM for tha regiment. The stats

era, of whom It was said "They had
their vaults overflowing with money."
These bankers were asked to advance
the necessary funds and take the pledge
of ths credit of the sUte aid receive
reimbursement from the next legisla
ture. The bankers did not respond to
hla appeal. Tha governor then ap
pealed to the railroads of the state to
bring ths members of the regiment to
their booms, and oaf tt tha account until
the neat session of the legislature
should repay them. As Is well known
by all, the railroads absolutely refused
to carry a single soldier home under
these conditions. The governor then
made appeal directly to the people of
the state on similar conditions, snd
most noble waa the response. More
than enough money (over $40,000)
was sent to the governor In hundreds
of loving contributions, and In less
than twenty-four hours, and the mem
bers of the First regiment returned to
their homes without having to pay
railroad fare from their scanty sav
ings or appeal to friends for assistance.
And yet still more did the governor
do than raise the money necessary to
bring the boys home. He hurried across
mountain and plain thousands of miles
to be present to receive and extend to
the boys of the gallant First the wel
come of the state of Nebraska on their
arrival at the Golden Gate. In the
face of what the governor did for the
volunteer soldiers, the opposition's
charge that he vetoed a reuiut!on of
thanks extended to them, Is a gratui
tous Insult to every member of the
First Nebraska regiment. Actions
speak louder than words, and the good
actually accomplished by the governor
for the returning soldiers was of more
lasting benefit to them than the en-
lidomement of unamerlcan principles
cunningly concealed under a mantel of
love.
THE ASSESSMENT OF RAILROADS.
As a member of the state board of
equalisation in the matter or levying
the annual aasessment of the railroads,
the governor acted on what he believed
would be for the administration of
equity ana J:-tlce between the rail
roads and the balance of the taxpayers
of the state. By an investigation of the
assessment rolls he became aware that
the valuation of all other property ex
cept railroad property, taken as a
whole, had been constantly reduced by
the assessors year by year for the past
three years at least, whereas railroad
property has been held at practically
the same assessed valuation during that
period. The result of this has been that
In 1893 the railroads paid 14 7-10 per
cent of the state taxes, In 1894 15 2-10
per cent, In 189S 14 8-10 per cent, In
18 15 2-10 per Cent, in 1897 l! per
cent. In 1898 15 6-10 per cent, and in
1899 15 4-10 per cent, so that although
the valuation of the railroads has not
been raised materially during the past
two years, yet the reduction of the val
uation of other property has been such
that the railroads bear a great portion
of the taxation tif the state today than
they did In 1893. and have continued to
do so since that time.
In speaking of the reduction of tne
valuation of other property, the record
reveals trhat In 1898, 31,139,348 acres of
land were assessed at $78,515,, 838, while
In 1899, 31,358,021 acres were assessed
at $77,890,017. An Increase of 218,673
acres and a decrease In the assessed
valuation of $628,821. The same com
parison also exists In the matter of
personal property. Everyone realize?
that being an active farmer, the gov
ernor has no pecuniary Interest what
ever In any railroads or other cor
porations, yet as governor of the state
of Nebraska he felt It his duty to dea
Justly with all of the people and the
various Interests of the state.
PARDONS.
The opposition press has at divers
times heralded to Its readers the asser
tion that the governor has been free
handed In extending executive clem
ency to convicts sentenced to the peni
tentiary, and that he has Issued a large
number of pardons without warrant iit
law. The facts are that in the first
twenty months of his administration
nut a single pardon has been granted.
During this time he has only commuted
the sentences of nineteen convicts and
remitted three fines and Jail sentences
out of a total of one hundred and for
ty-two applications for executive clem
ency. Governor Crounse In two year
granted twenty-five pardons, commut
ed or shortened the sentences of twenty-six
others and remitted eight lines
and Jail sentences. Governor Holcomb
In his two years Issued ninety commu
tations, four pardons, and remitted
eleven fines and Jail sentences. Com
pared with his predecessors, Governor
I'oynttr's pardon record requires no
apology.
DISEASES AMONG DOMESTIC ANI- j
MAL8.
For years there has been on the
statute book of the state a law provld
lirg for a state veterinarian, and three
live stock agents, whose duty It Is to
Investigate all cases of contagious and
Infectious diseases among domestic an
imals of the state. Successive legisla
tures have, failed to make provision to
meet the expenses of this board, Yeat
by year as our stock Industry develops
tbe necessity for the services of a
competent veterlnsrian havs become
more pressing. The demands upon the
governors for a veterinarian's services
of 1st year have become urgent, and
In order that ths stock Interests of ths
tat might receive u protaotloa to
which it Is entitled, Governor Poynter
ssked the Isst legislature to make tha
neceasary approprlstlon In order that
the contemplationa of the law might bs
carried out, but his appeal in the inter
est of one of the state's grestest Indus-,
tries fell by the wayside st the haals
of a legislature elected on a platform
to "redeem" the state and give it a
"business administration." Handicap
ped as the governor has been for want
ct funds, he has done everything In
his powers to protect this as well as
every other material Interest of the
stat.
BEATRICE AFFAIR.
Ths governor's selection of a super
intendent for the Institute for Feeble
Minded Touth. st Beatrice, proved un
fortunate. t as soon as he was la pos
session of the facts showing existing
conditions he ordered bis removal and
appointed a tried and experienced man
in his place. That the change was de
layed was caused by an order of the dis
trict court, which, upon hearing the
case, dismissed the action, after which
an appeal to the supreme court wss
taken by the defendant. Upon a sub
sequent action being brought before the
same court, the obstreperous superin
tendent was ousted, since which time
the institution Is In the hands of an
able and efficient superintendent, and
all Interests are being properly cared
for.
While some of the governor's warm
est friends urged him to take forcible
posseaslon of the Beatrice Institution,
he sedulously avoided that method of
procedure because of his sblding and
unfaltering faith In the honesty, in
tegrity and sufficiency of the courts.
Relying upon this faith he felt reas.
sured that the state's best interest and
his own constitutional prerogative
would be preserved. By - his action,
showing as It does a deep respect for
that great department of civil govern
ment, the Judiciary, through which we
receive the Interpretation of the law,
the governor has set an example that
all good citizens may well strive to
emulate. Hla action shows to every
person in this great commonwealth
that the magnificent motto of the state,
"Equality Before the Law." was not
adopted In vain or aa an empty and
meaningless combination of words, but
that It voices one of the first and
greatest principles of a republican form
of government, a principle that guar
antees to the humblest and highest cit
izen alike, full protective in their re
spective rights.
The state Institutions under the gov
ernor's charge and for the manage
ment of which he Is primarily respon
sible to the people of the state of Ne
braska, have been wisely and econom
ically conducted. The sanitary condi
tion of every Institution is so well
looked after that it la no uncommon
subject of remark by those who have
occasion to visit the same, and a source
of much pride and satisfaction to the
management and the Btate. The health
of the Inmates is most satisfactory and
the death rate smaller than In many
years, all of which bespeak the con
stant and careful treatment accorded
the state's unfortunates. The farm
lands connected with the Institutions
are made to produce to their fullest
capacity and contribute much towards
the support of the inmates, and show
l remarkable contrast as comp?red with
former republican rule. While the
state's wards have been well and bet
ter fed and clothed than under repub
lican rule, yef a consultation -i
comparative table appearing elsewhere
brings to light the remarkable fact
that under fusion management four
hundred more inmates were kept for
$14,713.94 less of the people's money
than under republican rule for an equal
length of time. A careful study of the
comparative table will convince the
most bitter partisan which party ha
given the state "a business administra
tion" and which party has upheld the
"credit of the state."
One of the strong attributes for which
our present governor Is noted, and
which Is highly appreciated by people
f all political affiliations Is his demo
cratic simplicity. No one so poor but
he receives the same warm welcome,
ame courteous treatment, same atten
tion to his buslners as accorded to men
of position and prominence. Close at
tention to all matters belonging to his
department, equal and courteous treat
ment to all, Is Governor Poynter's mot
to. The administration of the present
farmer governor of Nebraska Is appre
elated, and the people Intend to honor
themselves by retaining him for twa
years more.
Here's Soma Back Talk.
Ts Moines, la- Oct. 22. An attempt
i repeat the tactics of 1896, when men
.vere Intimidated Into voting for Mc
kinley and Hoban, has been promptly
ailed In Des Moines. Some days ago
1, G. Olmstead, managing partner of
th? firm of Bentiey Olmstead, whole
sale boot and shoe dealers, practically
requested his traveling men and other
employes to vote for McKlnley. The
statement was aft rward circulated
that he hHd threatened any employe
who voted for Bryan with discharge.
Mr. Olmstead denied the report, and
says: "What I did say was that, In the
evnt of Bryan's election, I would feel
obliged to close our business rather
than pass through an ordeal of commer.
clal depression such aa followed tht
second election of Mr. Cleveland."
i. K. Laycock, a capitalist and ex
perienced boot and shoe man, has. In
reply to Mr. Olmstead, made tha fol
lowing announcement:
' "I have organised a company to en
gage In the wholesale boot and shoe
business In the evtit of Brysn' lec
tion. Mr. Olmstead states thst hi man

CHAPTER X.
THE END OF ORRT.
But hardly had the words been spoken
When he threw back hla head and
asked in a firm voice how far It waa to
Port Erin.
"About thirty miles," said Greeba
looking up at the sudden question.
"Not more?" asked Jaaon.
"No. He has lived there," she an
swered, with a motion of her head to
wards the bed.
"He?"
"yes, ever since his wife died. Be
fore that they lived In this place with
Michael Sunlocks. His wife met with
a terrible death."
"How?"
"She was murdered by some enemy of
her husband. The man escaped, but
left his name behind him. It was Pat
rlcksen." "Patrlcksen?"
"Yes. That must be fourteen years
ago, and since then he has lived alone
at Port Erin. Do you wish to go
there?"
"Ay that Is, so I Intended."
"Why?"
"To look for someone."
"Who la It?"
"My father."
For a moment Greeba was silent, and
then she said with her eyes down:
"Why look for him If he wronged
your mother?"
."That's why I meant to do so."
She looked Into his face and stam
mered, "But why?"
He did not appear to hear her; his
eyes were fixed on the man on the bed;
and hardly had she asked the question
before she covered her ears with her
hands as though to shut out his an
swer.
"Was that why you came?" ahe
asked.
"Yes," he answered. "If we had not
been wrecked tonight I should have
dropped overboard and deserted."
"Strange," she said, "It was Just what
he did, when he came to the Island
nineteen years ago."
"Yes, nineteen years ago," Jason re
peated.
He spoke like a man In a sleep, and
she began to tremble.
"What is the matter?" she said.
Within a few minutes his face had
suddenly 'changed, and it was now
awful to look upon. Not for an Instant
did he turn his eyes from the bed
The delirium of the sick man had
deepened by this time; the little, fool
Ish. baby play-words in the poor bro
ken English came from him no more,
but he seemed to ask eager questions
In a tongue that Greeba did not un
derstand. "This man Is an Icelander," said
Jason.
"Didn't you know that before?" said
Greeba.
"What Is his name?" said Jason.
"Haven't you heard It yet?"
"What Is his name?"
Then for one quick Instant he turned
his fare towards her face, and she seem
erl to read his thought.
"Oh God!" she cried, and she stag
gered back.
Just then there was a sound of foot
steps on the shingle outside, and al
the next moment Htean and Thurstan
Falrbrother and old Davy Kerrulsh
pushed open the door. They had come
to fetch Greeba.
"The Methodee man tould us," said
Davy, standing by Jason's side, "and,
my gough, but It's mortal cur'ous,
What's It saying, 'Talk of the dlvll,'
ind sure enough It was of the big wldda
man hlsself we were talking of, less
nor half a hour afore we struck."
"Comr- my lass," said Thurstan,
"No, no, I'll stay here," said Greeba.
"But your mother Is fidgeting, and
this Is no place for a slip of a girl
come!" "I'll stay with him alone," said Ja
son. "No, no," cried Greeba.
"It's the tad's right, for all," said old
Davy. "He fetched the poor chap out
of the water. Come, let's take the road
for It."
"Will no one stay Instead of me?"
said Greeba.
"Where's the use?" said Davy. "He's
raelly past help. He's outward bound,
poor chap, Poor Orry I poor ould Ste
phen!" Then they draw Oraeb away, and
with look of fear fixed on Jason's face
sh passed out st the door.
Jason was now alone with Stephen
Orry, and felt like a man who had
stumbled Into a hidden grave. He bad
set out over the seas to search for his
father, and here, at his first setting foot
on the land, his fsther lay at his feet.
So this was Stephen Orry; this was he
for whom hi mother had given up all;
thla was he for whom she had taken a
father' curse; this was he for whom
she had endured poverty and shame;
this wss he who had neglected her,
struck her, forgotten her with another
woman; this wss he who had killed her
the poor, loving, loyal, passionate
heart not In a day, or an hour, or a
moment, but In twenty long
son stood over the bed sni looked
down. Surely the Lord God had heard
his great vow and delivered tha mn
Into his hands. He would have hunted
the world over to find him, but hera at
a stride he had him. It was heaven's
own Justice, and If he held back now
the curse of his dead mother would
follow him from the grave.
Tet a trembling shook his- while
frame, and his heart beat as If it would
break. Why did he wait? He remem
bered the tenderness that had crept
upon him not many minutes ago, aa he
listened to the poor baby babble of the
man's delirium, and at that the gall in
his throat seemed to ch"ke him, He
hated himself for yielding to It, for now
he knew for whom It had been meant.
It had been meant for his own father
doating over the memory of another
son. That son had supplanted himself;
that eon's mother had supplanted his
own mother; and yet he, In his ignor
ance, had all but wept for both of
them. But no matter, he waa now to be
God's own right hand of Justice on this
evil-doer.
Dawn was breaking, and Its woolly
light crept lazily In at the little win
dow, past the lamp that sMll burned
on the window board. The wind had
fallen, and the sea lay gloomy and
dark, as If with its own heavy memo
ries of last night's work. The gray
light fell on the sick man's face, and
under Jason's eyes It seemed to light
up the poor, miserable, naked soul with
in. The delirium had now set In strong,
and many were the wild words and fre
quent waa the cry that rang through
the little house.
Not while he is like that," thought
Jason. "I will wait for the lull.' '
He took up a pillow In both hands
and stood by the bed and waited, never
lifting his eyes oft the face. But the
lull did not come. Would It not come
at all. What If the delirium were never
to. pas saway? Could he still do the
thing he Intended? No, no, no! But
heaven had heard his vow and led him
there. The delirium would yet pass;
then he would accuse his father, face
a face and eye to eye, and then
The current of Jason's thoughts was
suddenly arrested by a cry from the
sick man. It was "Rachel! Rachel!
Rachel!" spoken In a voice of deep en
treaty, and there came after It In dis
jointed woras or. the tceianuic tutigue a
pitiful appeal for forgiveness. At that
a great fear seized upon Jason, and the
pillow dropped from his hands to the
ground. "Rachel! Rachel!" It was the
old cry of years that were gone, but
working with how great a difference
then, to stir up evil passions now, to
break down the spirit of revenge.
"Rachel! Rachel?" came again In the
same pitiful voice of supplication; and
at the sound of that name so spoke,n,
the bitterness of Jason's heart went
off like a wall of the wind. It was a
cry of remorse, a cry for pardon, a cry
for mercy. There could be no Jugglery.
In that hour of the mind's awful van
qulshment a human soul stood naked
behind him as before Its Maker.
Jason's great love was shaken. Had
It been only a blind tangle of passion
and pain? If the Almighty had called
him to be the Instrument of His ven
geance, would He have delivered his
enemy Into his hands like this dying
delirious, with broken brain and broken
heart?
Still his mother's name came from
his father's Hps, and then his mind
went buck to the words that had so
lately passed between them. "Let me
be your fnther, though I am a dying
man! Ah! sweet, beautiful, blind fal
lacycould he not let It be?
The end was very near; the delirium
passed away, and Stephen Orry opened
his eyes. T.'te great creature was as
quiet as a child now, and as soft and
gentle as a child's wns his deep hoarse
voice. He knew that he had been
wandering In his mind, and when ht
looked Into Jason's face a pale smile
crossed hla own.
"I thought I had found her," he said
very simply, "my peer young wife that
once was; It was she that I lost Be
long ago, and did such wrong by."
Jason's throat was choking him, but
he summered out, "Lie still, sir, lie still
and rest."
But Stephen Orry talked on In the
same simple way; "Ah, how silly I am!
I forgot vou didn't know."
"Lie still and rest," said Jason again.
"There was someone with her. too. I
thought I waa her sin her child and
mine, that was to come when I left
her, And, only think, f looked again
and It seemed to be you. Tes, you for
It was the face of him that fetched me
out of the lea. I thought you were my

Than Jaaon could bear up no long.
Ha flung himself down on his hnss
by tha bedside, and burled hla fao 1st
the dying man's breast.
"Father," he sobbed, "I am your
son."
But Stephen Orry only smiled, and
answered very quietly, "Ah, yes, I ra-member-that
waa part of our bargain,
my good lad. Well, God bless you, my
son. God bless and speed you."
And that was the end of Orry.
