Then by | way ofKhowinghis gratitudo for our liberali- ' * ty , lie volunteere < l to pilot us uh far aH tho ) Bourg de Hatz , and thence back to Lo Croix B < J by a short cut , of which we knew nothing. B' "Vie gladly accepted bin offer , und as Ave B ' . * trudgiMl along together he gave us a short BY | , and wimple record ofhiH life. We found it K i det-ply iutcrewting.thougli extremely sad. In Bf | | brief it wiw thestory of a sou who had fore- Bji sf gone every nob ice of the poor man's existence BJ a homo of his own , a wife and children for Bj - the nuke of a blind aged father toofeebloto Bj bupport biuihelf. Bj Long ere we reached tho Borug de Batz the H summer xuu hud attained itsmcridinn height Bj | and we began to feel its almost perpendicular K J rays intolerably oppressive. Under these flr { < • " circumstana's I suggested that we should Hi 1 S'-ek shelter from the noonday heat in the Bj t shadow of a towering rock which rose a little BJ cj to the left of the path we were pursuing und BJ * Ji to which I ] ) ointed as I spoke. BJ > C Our guide glanced at the direction Indi- K | & cated and faintly murmured : "There is a BJj i man there. Everybody us passes this way BJ' ' 1 goes half a mile around to shun thntrock. " BJj > "But why should they shun it , " I inquired. Bji f "Is tlie man you speuk of a brigand or a mur- ' I " derer ? BJ. I The fisherman's only answer to this ques- $ , ' * tion was a shudder. If' i "Is the man likely to molest us if we go 1 near him ? " I continued. "Oh , no , not he. " , ' ' * "Will yon accompany us if we go ? " . | "Not I , sir , begging your pardon. " I > " "Well , then , we will go by ourselves , since I . * you assure us that we may do so in perfect ' safety. " I i "Oh , I don't say that , sir. I only say as I the man himself won't barm you. He'll I neither budge an inch nor open his lips. " By this time we were within live and twen- K • | ty paces of the rock , and our guide struck in- 8 * to a bypath , leaving us to pursue our course I ' in the direction of a cave which ho had I f s pointed out to us in the side of the rock. Wo I I soon reacluil a steep accent leading up to a I | smsll usplauadeiu front of the cave , which I I wan fully 100 feet above the level of tho sea , , On gaining the esplanade we beheld a man I ,1 seated on a block of detached granite a man Ifv ' of herculean build , with large hirsute hands , mM > and wild bloodshot eyes which glared at us BJT \ for a moment as we approached , and then BK wauderetl back to the surface of tho ocean , II j on which they continued to gaie intently pf during the remainder of our brief stay. To -11 * judge solelv from hi stalwart and muscular K 4 frame no one would have taken him to bo 4 more than fifty ; but his hair was white H 4 a the driven snow , and bis face which If g was the very picture of despair was m | deejtly furrowed. Further description it K would be vain to attempt ; for , feeling that H I we were intruding upon some unspeakable H l borrow , we hastened to retrace our steps , H * leaviug him , as we found him , seemingly ? | glued to the stone on which he sat , and of . t * which he almost seemed to form a part , and 1 | \ gazing intently seaward. What was it that i it be saw there ? " I J "Well , did you see him , gentleman ? " asked { our guide , w hen tc # rejoined him some five I w minutes afterward. I * "Yes , but Who and What is be ? " I replied. I' | "They call him 'The Man with the Vow. ' se | The folks at LeCroisic and theBourgde Batz jk believe as he's committed some crime for , 2 . which he 's doing penance. Others believe as f ' B nd-the-Sea for that's bis right name has a the'evil eye , ' and so they always give that Jf rock a wide berth. Other folks have it that Bend-thc-sea hasmade and that's how t - - a vow , j. . he came by his nickname. And sure enough \p \ he never stirs from that rock , day nor night , j | nor speaks a word to anyone not even to [ | the little lass , a niece of his , as brings him his I. bread and water every morning. " L "But , my poor fellow , " 1 interrupted. i- "can'tyou tell us what it was that induced y bim to isolate himself from his fellow-crcat- , | \ ures ? Was it grief , or madness , or remorse ? " A "Ah , Mr , " that's a question as nobody but i : me and my father can answer. My mother , ij God rest her boul , was servant to the magis- H trate as Bend-the-Sea made a confession to , ij $ i by order of the priest ; she , being in . ; the kitchen adjoining her master's ij dining-room , couldn't help overhearing k -what Bend-the-Sea said to him. Well , i she's dead and gone , and the magistrate , he's I dead and gone. But my poor mother , she j made me and father swear , before she'd tell | us what she'd overheard , as we'd never t breathe a word about it to any soul j hereabout. But I may tell you , gentlemen , * as comee from furrin parts. Well , you must J know as Peter Bend-the-Sea him as you J saw yonder is the bead of his family , as have been seafaring men from father to son m j for generations past there name's enough ' [ j to tell you that much. Aye , they sailed the ! | sea , and Peter , he owned two or three tidy : smacks , and turned sardine fisher. He'd ; * have fitted np a vessel and gone cod fishing -j | ifhehand't been so fond of his wife , as was : an uncommon fine girl when he married herr ' [ * j and had a kind heart into the bargain. Aye , , ; ' | and she was as fond of him as he was of her. ' ; | . ' - She could never bear him to be out of her , t- sight no longer than was absolutely needful % for him to be away after sardines. They : lived ia yonder little house as you can see on yonder island. Well , they had but I one child , a boy , and I needn't tell you that J they loved him. They just worshipped him. L * I don't know what they wouldn't have done U for him. They were alt ays a buying him I something or other toys , frocks anything p' you like to name. In fact , they completely ; spoiled bim. And a terrible Turk he turned out. always in some kind of a scrape ! But bis father , he only laughed when neighbors would come and complain as how Jim that was his nume had been up to this bit of I ? ini6chieforthat , 'half murdering our Molly , ' 1 of'giving our Jack a fearful pair of black * eyes. ' And so things went on. Neither Peter i * nor his wife could see any harm in Jim. Whatever he did was sure to be right. Well , by the time he was 3G tho lad takes to whisk ing off to Guerande whenever he had a mind , a-courting the girls , and drinking and plny- ing billiards. You want cash to carry on " that sort of game , and so Jim takes to help ing himself out of the hoard in his mother's old stocking. "She , poor soul , daren't breathe a word of ! it to her good man , though she knew of it right enough. Why , bless your hcartl Peter Bend-the-Sea was a man to go five and twen ty miles on foot to pay back a farthing ns he'd been overpaid. Well , when Master Jim had stripped his mother of every penny she I she possessed.wbat must he needsdo , one fine day , when her back was turned , but go and tell whatever he could lay his hands upon J r k "T" II 'In ' r I p > n Y-Ji UTT r * uniwilfii n w - , - , T , . .yTn - - L | .A fcfr * " " ' ' ' . . . Brrrr.V" T7" i mu * tables , chairs , linen , plate leaving little eU but the bare walls. And then away he wen to play "high binks' with tho money a Nantes. Well , there was no hidini what he'd done from his fat lie this time. When ho came buck form the sat dino fishing he must be told , as Mire uh fuk And she was mortally afeaied to tell him- notfor her own sake , you may depend , but fo Jim's. Well , back comes Peter , and hits th house a most refurnished with the things a the neighbors had lent to bis wife. 'What' the meaning of this ? ' suys he. 'We 've beei robbed , Peter , ' says his noor wife , more deai than alive. 'What's gone with Jim , then ? says Peter , 'Oh ! ho's off on one of his sprees , says she. 'He's a good deal too fond of hi sprees , ' says Peter , and thero the matter end etl for that while. "Six months afterward poor Peter bean that the police were on his son's trucks a Nantes. Ho off he trudges there afoot , fer rets.lim out and brigs him home by th scruff of hisiu'ck. lie never asks him what ln > ' done amiM , but he siiys to bim , says he : ' 1 you don t stop here and live decent and re spectablo with me and your mother for i coup ! " of years , you and me will huv < a ciow to pluck together. ' But tin scamp wouldn't bo said not he. II just fancies he can twist his fatli er ujid mother around his little tin ger. So he takes and puns a fneo at Peter Peter gives him a cuff as laytj Master Jimoi his beam ends for a mnttor of Bix weeks. His poor mother sho almost broke her hear over it. Well , one night , as she was quietlj sleeping'by her good man's side she hears i noiso as wakes her. Up she jumps , and tin first thing she feels is a stab in the arm ai makes her scream out. Peter he wakes strikes a light and sees her bleeding. Hi fancies it must bo a thief us if thero wm such a thing in these purts , where you mighi carry a sack of gold lrom Croisie to St Nnzniro and no one so much ns ask wlmi ' ' in - hand ! Well Peter j'ou'd got j-our , goes and looks for Jim. Jim was nowhere to lx found. "But in tho morning in he comes ns cool nf a cucumber and has tho face to tell'em at ho's been spending the night at Batz. Kc need to say as all this time his mother wa > at her wit's end to find a safe hiding plact for her money. ( As for Peter's , Lawyei Dupotel of Croisie always took careofitfoi him. ) Ofcourse Master Jim's pranks had cost the old folks a pretty penny by tint time. In fact , they were well-nigh ruined. And that was hard for folkt as had been worth house und all together a matter of 400ori" . " 00. Nobody ever knew how much it cost Peter to get his son out ol that scrape at Nautes , when tho police were after him , and it seemed as if the whole family were doomed to bad luck. For everything had been going wrong with Peter's brother. And so , to comfort him , Peter says to him : 'My Jim and your Polly must make a match of it one of these days. ' Meantime to keep him from starving , Peter gives him a berth in his fishing smack , and Peter's wife she takes and sews a real Spanish doubloon in a bit of a bag and shoved it into her mattress , with. 'For Polly' written on it , as largo a life , in her own handwriting for she was a good scholar , was Peter's wife. "Well , no mortal could ever tell how Jin : come to nose that bit of gold , but nose it he did , and off with it to Le Croisie to spend it in pleasure. But as chance would have it back comes Peter from his fishing that very night , and what does ho see floating on the top of the water , close by tho landing place , but a scrap of paper , which ho picks up and carries home to his wife , who falls in a dead swoon as soon as ever she sees-For Polly'in her own hand writing on the scrap of paper. Peter , he holds his tongue , but goes straight to Le Croisie and hears that his son is in the bil liard-room at the inn. To tho door of the inn he goes and says to Dame Flowers , the tho landlady , 'I told our Jim not to spend a certain bit of gold ns he'll bo paying you with presently I'll wait here , and when he gives it to you just bring it to me and I'll give you its full value in silver. ' By and by Dame Flowers brings him the doubloon , and ho gives her the value of it and takes it straight home. "All the folks at LeCroisic know that much , but they can only givo a rough gue.-s at what I'm going to tell you. As soon as lie gets home Peter bids his wife clean up the parlor , than ho makes up the fire , lights a couple of candles , sets two chairs on one side of tho hearth and a three-legged t tool on tho other , and orders his wife to get out hip and her own wedding clothes as we laid up safe _ in a coffer and brush them up a bit. Then he puts on hi * wedding clothes and goes to his brother ' s Iioutc andasked him to be on the lookout in front of his ( Peter's ) house and give him warning if he hears any one a-lauding on the island. After that ho goes back homo by the time he thought his wife had got her wedding clothes on , loads his gun and hides it in the chimney- corner. Presently back comes Jim late enough , you may be sure , when I tell yon he staid at Le Croisie till 10 clock drinking and gambling. "As soon as he shows his face his father says to him , "Sit you down on yonder stool : you're in the presence of your father and motherwhom you ' ve offended , and now they are going to judge you. ThereforeJim be gins to whimper , seeing as how there was a fearsome look in his father's face , while the mother was sitting there as stiff as an oar. If you cry , or stir from that stool if you don't sit there as still as a mouse , I'll shoot you like a dog , ' * ; ays Peter. And so Jim sits there as dumb as a fish , and his mother , she neuer opens her mouth. 'Look here. ' says Pete , 'there was a Spanish doubloon in this bit ofpuper. That dobloon was in youi mother ' s mattress , and no one but hei as put it there , knew it was there. I found this piece of paper floating on the water when I landed. This very evening you gave that doubloon to Dame Flowers , and your moth er has missed hers from the bed Now , what have you got to say for yourself. ' " "Jim takes and swears as he never touched his mother's doubloon and the one he'd paid away was one he had left when he came away from Nantes after his frolic 'So much the better , ' says Peter. 'But how can 3-011 prove the truth of your words ? Will you take your sacred , solemu oath as you didn 't steal your mothers doubloon ? " Jim was quite ready to swear by all his hopes oi heaven. But his mother stopped him. 'Jim. my boy , ' says she. "Beware ! Don't fore swear yourselfl You may turn out a good boy yet , if you'll only repent and mend youi ways. ' And with that she burst out crying. 'You're an old this and an old that , as al ways wanted to bring me to ruin ! " cried Jim. Whereupon Peter turns pale , and cries : 'What you've just said to your mother will help to swell niy account against you. Como , now. are you prepared to swear ? ' 'Yes , ' says Jim. 'Stop a moment , ' says his father. 'Had your doubloon got this same cross upon it as the sardine merchant from which ! took it put upon our piece ? This question staggers and sobers Jim a bit , and he begins to blubber. 'Enough said , " cries his father. 'I'm not going to tax you with your old misdeeds. But look you here , 1 won't see a Bend-the-Sea swinging in the gallows in front of Croisie goal , bo make haste and say your prayer. A priest will be hero directly to confess you. ' "Meantime Jim's mother had left the house to escape hearing her son's condemnation Whilo she was outside in came Peter's brother with the rector of Piriac. But Jim was far too artful to make any confession ; he thought he knew his father well enough tc make sure that he 'd never kill him till he hail confessed. Well , seeing Jim so obstinate Peter says to the priest. 'Thank you sir. al. the same , for coming. I am sorry to have troubled you ; but 1 just wanted to give m\ son a lesson , and 1 beg you to be goou enough to keep the matter quiet. As foi you , Jim , the very next time I catch you go ing astray your fate is sealed , confession o no confession. ' "Then he sent him upstairs to bed. The lad , firmly believing as his father meant tc let him off scot free , went quietly to sleep But Peter sat up , and as soon as ever he heard Jim snoring , he takes and gags him with a handful of tow and a strip of saL cloth , and binds him hand and foot. The poor mother flings herself at her husband's feet and begs him to stay his hand , but Peter only said to her : 'He ' s doomed Come and help me carry him to the boat. Of course she refuses. So Bend-the-Sea car ries him alone , ties a big stone to his neck , and rows out into tho open sea , as fat ns the rock where you saw him. Mear.- time his wife prays her brother-in-law to row after him , and follows in another boat , crying aloud for mercy. Sho might as well have prayed to a ravening wolf. It was a bright moonlight night , and jiresently the poor womansawherhnsbandliftthelad from the bottom of the boat and fling him over board. Not a breath of wind was stirring , and she distinctly heard the splash which told her that her only child was drowned md then nothing ! Ah ! the sea is a deeper- lte , sure prison ! Poor creature ! The shock lulled her. The two brothers had to carry her from the boat back to the house , and she lied within the week , imploring her husband v-t-ri tr • i 1 : with her last breath to burn the nccursci boat , nnd bum it he did. After that ho seem ed to have lost his wits. Ho knew no mor than a mndmuu whnt he was about. Whci ho walked ho reeled und staggered like i drunken man. Then he took n journey some wheroand wnsawayfora fortnight. Whet hjcamo back he went straight to the placi whereyon saw himand thero he huHevorsinci remained , never speaking to a single soul. ' j Without the Middleman's Aid. I Every morning there comes to th < house in which I live a fine hale , oh \ man , witli tho fresh scent of country Innes about him , who brings nr. . abundant supply of vegetables , of n quality one can only find in the mosl expensive green groceries and fruit stores. Tie makes a business o : serving the products of his little market garden across the Nortli river to a choice list of customers in certain apartment houses of the bet- ( , ter order. He sells all that he can deliver , and the prices he gets , while reasonable enough to satisfy hifc ( patronsare sufficiently liberal to compensate him handsomely There are other men , I notice , who make a 1 specialty of milk , eggs and other fresh table commoditieSjWhich they deliver after the same fashion , directly from their farms or poultry yards. The y pay no tribute to a middleman , not 1 are they under any expense for a j city shop. They begin by drumming I up custom in good houses , and , as they serve the best of material , are not long in establishing a profitable , connection. After this it is plain sailing with them. j Tho business of putting up pre serves nnd jellies seems also to be ex tensively followed by rural housewives who seek their industry in much the same way. Some of them advertise in the family papers. The majority employ a drummer to beat up custom in town. The fact that they can afford the expense of advertisement or the salary of an agent , and still make a greater profit than if they sold their products to the shops , may serve as a slight hint of the proportions of gain that fall to the middleman or retailer. A man in Fordham who has quite an extensive fruit farm which , thanks to his passion for im proving varities , produces some of the finest fruit in the country , in forms me that he now gets nearly , three times as much for the product of his orchard , which he retails him self , than he did when he sold it to a fruiterer. And still his customers get it cheaper than they did from the fruit shop. Alfred Trumble in New York News. Two Kewly Made Widows. From the Boston Post. It is said that some of the chiel railroads in tho country employ spec ial persons to inform the bereaved family when an employe has been killed. Considering that every year a small army of men meet their death on the track the statement is not in credible. An old railroad man at Beading , who has discharged this painful office , " gives the following among other experiences : "It Avas only a few days ago that I went to a home and found tho wife chatting and laughing with a neigh bor's wife while she was at work among her rose-bushes and flowers. She hadn't been married veiy long. I first asked whether her husband was at home. She stared at me , be came white as a piece of chalk , then shrieked and fell among The plants. I helped to carry her into the house. " 'He's dead ; my husband is dead , I know he has been killed ! ' " 'Who told you ? ' I asked , when she revived. "No one. I only thought so. is it true ? ' "It was easy then to finish my errand. "I once called on a woman to tell her her husband had been killed by striking against an overhead bridge. This was three years ago , near Phil adelphia. The wife curled up her li3 and replied : " 'If he's been killed , hea ven has revenged me. He abused me long enough. He'll abuse no more women now. "That was the easiest job in my line I ever had. Five minutes later the woman was in hysterics and tears. " - -fO. n i A Horse-llace as a Moral A gem "You have heard stories of con science money , perhaps but I think I never heard of the refunding of 'bor rowed' funds being due to a horse race , " said Mr. Wr . H. Williams , of the Union News company , to the New York Evening Sun. "Kecently one of our former agents called and asked for a private conference. WThen we were alone he said that lie had defrauded the company of $500 , and that he wished to return it. I told him he was perfectly at liberty to do so. Then , with native shrewd ness , he requested that no interest should be charged on the 'loan , ' which was made when the system was not as perfect as now. I admit ted that the face value of the loan would be sufficient under the cir cumstances and he laid down the ' money. When a receipt had been given him I ventured to ask what had prompted him to restore \ ' the funds. I gathered from him tha t he had several times had enough money together to pay me , but that i being an insane lover of trotters , he had invested the money in a horsr-1 every time. Thus for five times h' I bought a horse , and each one died. ' It looked like a dispension of Provi dence , and finally , when for the sixth time he secured the money , he came find paid me. I hope his luck will change as his morals have : " | The last issue of the Arizona Kick- ! 3r contains the following : If there is a meaner and more con-1 temptible coyote on the face of this j footstool than "Major ' ' Jackson Doty , the old skinflint grocer on the j corner of Sitting Bull avenue nnd \ Cheyenne street , we'll give $50 for Irfs address.

The Grocers' Chronicle insists that tho fact that canned goods are cooked goods cannot bo too widely known oi carefully remembered by users. They are not put up in vessels from whicli they are to be eaten when convenient to consumers , but are only packed in tins in order to preserve them. No canned goods aro guaranteed to keep fresh and remain sound for any num ber of dayB after being opened. When opened the contents of the tin should be immediately turned put and eaten . as soon as possible. If the food must be kept at all , cover it up and keep in a cool place , always , however , turn out of the oriuinal tin. The liquor around lobsters , salmon , and all vegetables , excepting toma toes it is desirable to strain off and throw away. Lobsters nnd prawns aro improved by be ing turned out into a sieve and rinsed with clean cold water. Never on any account add vinegar , sauce , or any kind of condiment to tinned goods while they are in the tins , and never leave such mixtures to remain an hours or two , it from forcetfulness it is done. All tinned goods are put up as fresh as it is possible to be , but unless corn ed or salted will not keep turned out as freshly cooked goods will , and cer tainly not longer , as many thought lessly suppose or expect ; they will. Sardines , if preserved in good oil , and if of good quality , will be an excep tion ; as long as the oil is good the fish can be kept in the tins , but seven days is Jong enough to trust these be fore eating. Consumers should not buy larger packages of canned goods than they can consume quickly ; if they should , most of the fish and meats can be potted after recooking , sauces and seasoning being used. If the nose and eyes are properly used it is as impossible to partake of an unsound tin of canned food of any kind as to partake of bad meat , fish , or vategables trom a shop. Cuba's Two Meals a Day. Only two meals a day are served at Cuban hotels. They live much as people do in some parts of France and Switzerland. You take an orange or two with a cup of coffee and a roll in the early morning ; a liberal break fast , in courses , is served at 11 o'clock , and a ceremonious dinner at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. This mode of living is admirably suited to the climate , and you fall in with the cus tom and like it at once. The breakfast opens with small olives and fresh radishes served in the same dish ; the next course is lish , then eggs , meats , etc. You are not asked what you prefar , but each course is set before you and you partake of it or not. Instead of beginning with fruit , the Cuban breakfast ends with it pineapples cut from the stalk the same morning , bananas freshly pick ed , a faint und rather over sweet mor sel , with oranges ad libitum. In Florida , and in many other parts of the countiy , the orange is cut in halves and its juice and pulp are passed to the mouth with a tea spoon. In Havana the orange is served whole on the table , peeled down to the juicy "meat" of the fruit , and you present the golden ball to your lips on the prongs of a fork. At any and every American hotel the moment you sit down the ques tion is almost flung at you , "Tea or coffee ? " Cubans better understand what is healthful. They follow na ture's plan and take their meals more as the lower animals do. Cubans do not fill their stomachs with lluidb during meals. After breakfast is over , then tea or coffee is served coffee in French style , at least one-half the cup being filled with milk. Home Jo ur- n al. Fighting the Fire Damp. This mine , while one of the largest , was also one of the most dangerous in the valley. In order to keep the workings supplied with pure air , in quantity sufficient to render harmless the explosive gases released by open ing the coal seams , an immense fan had been constructed which , during every minute that it was in action , drew forth from the mine over two hundred thousand cubic feet of im pure air. Even with this great air current , there were very dangerous parts of the mine , requiring the ut most vigilance from the miners. To hear of 6ome miner or laborer firing the gas in his chamber and being burned thereby was a matter of al most weekly occurrence. In pits of this character , where is a plentiful air current , it is often a custom with miners to "fire" the gas in their working places before a quantity sufficient to render its combustion dangerous accumu lates. When this is done the gas will take fire with a noise not unlike that made in lighting a common gas jet. There is such an excess of air that the explosion of the gas is very weak and harmless. The flame , often three or four feet deep , will travel along the uneven roof , showing beautiful colors varying from a deep dark blue to a brilliant crimson ; and in it shine stars of dazzling white light , showing that fine article of coal dust suspend ed in the air are burning in the great heat of the gas. Sometimes this flame will travel close up against the roof , slowly to and fro , several times , until all the gas has been burned away. When the flame dies out the burnt gases ( the "black" or "after damp" ) , being heavier than the air , fall to the floor. So the coal-miner is ever ex posed to two great dangers : the first , that of being burned ; the second , that of being suffocated after he has es caped the fire. How Two Hunchbacks Were Married.

Hut tberf an Issues vital to tho people of tlila state which uiusi be fought out In Hie open nrcn. . In this lrrcprrstl ble contest party lines cannot safely be drawn. The people of Krbrailca nre confronted with cravi problems with which the next legislature must trip pic. Nebraskai \ pno of tho most taiKdJen state' ' in America. State taxca are blither In Nebraskr than in any tate In the union , excepting alone Nc Tads. With n debt or less limn half a million , oi which over foir hundred thousand dollars Is Leld bj the permanent scbojl fund. Nebraska last year lev led a state tax of olilityono cents on the hundred dollars of asscsied valuation. The state of Louisi ana , with a state debt of nearly twelve miltlous , lev ies a state tax of only slxtv cents on the hundred dollars. North Carolina with a state debt of ovei fifteen millions levies a state tax of only tweuty-fltt cents on the hundred dollars. The state tax In Iowa is twenty-five cents. In Kansas forty-one cents , Minnesota thirteen cents , and Wisconsin fifteen ami three quarter cents on the hundred dollars. The ordinary running expenses of this state for salarlei and maintaining state Institutions are over one mil lion a year , nn.l t'ue latt legislature piled up appro priations for another million aycarwhich have to be wrung from a people heavily burdened wltti county and municipal taxes. How is this cxhaustlnx drain to be checked ? How are the people to secure tax reduction and a more eiultablu distribution ol the burdens of taxation ? Can these needed reform ! bc secured unless the next slate ofllcers and Irglsla tors arc men of Integrity and men who cannot bc swaytd front their duty ? This Is only one of the issues. The ever ore-sing and over present railroad issue must br met and tin lines mutt be aharply defined between honest men who will faltbfnil { represent the people , and venal toguoi who want to sell out or Intend to use their position * for levying blackmail , ltrazen tbroatetl railroad | o 1 tclans and professional Jobbers will. a < usual , howl themselves hoarse over the national l.s-ut-xlu orderto befog the taxpayers , anil seek ti keeo the Itsucs In which the people arc mureltai : . concerned In the background.

They will fight over the battle * of the war. but mako no reference to the scandalous deb.tuchery of our legislature aud the law defying course of the railroads. It remains to bo keen , however , whether the people of a state that rrmdly boasts Its Intelligence can be deceived and distracted by such tactics. It remains to be seen whether they will blindly support "yellow dog" candidates bccui e they were tagged and labelod straight by a parked convention. The campaign I. Nebraska hits already begun. The industrial elassei must do their duty. Let them rally and unite , re gardless of party , to elect honest , competent and uupurchasablc men to the next legislature. The Unit proposes to do Its full share of the wort to re deem the state from monopoly misrule. With till , end In view It will labor earnestly until the legisla ture convenes.
