Ah, Love! thou art the azure sky,
And Life a summer aloud,
Which blends with thee in rapture,
Within thy lovelight bowed.
And Life is like the ripples
Which spread across the lake;
Love is the depth beneath them
O’er which the ripples break.
Life is one long mellow breeze
On which light Life doth float—
Love—ah, yes, it is the oar,
And Life, it is the boat,

The loDg arrowy beams of an af
ternoon sun shown through the ce
dars and pines fringing the high
mountain tops, and bathed the one
straggling street and scattered cab
ins of Red Gulch in its red, gold
hues. It was mid-win ter, and all
the earth lay sheeted and silent,
with miles upon miles of snowy
mountains, of narrow,'icy trails and
lonely drift-filled hollows.
Around the littte mining camp
tbe mountains towered high and
dark, and far upon the crest dark
lined firs stood boldly out against
the blue sky like an etching, while
farther down, the ' tall, snow-pow
dered pines rattled their ice-crust
ed boughs, like frozen skeleton fiu
gers, as the wind blew in eerie
moans, and died far away along the
canon’s. yawning blackness.
There was an unusual excite
ment in the “gulch” that afternoon
a camp composed of brawny
ougb, bearded men, clad in flan,
nel an^^barse trousers tucked in
the tops of their boots. The min
ers from all the adjoining gulches
had swarmed in like bees, and
times were booming for the “Min
er’s Retreat.” There had been a
“difficulty,” in which long bladed
knives and revolvers played a prom
inent part, and in the street,lay a
man, shot through the heart—dead.
The “devil’s dewdrop” had been
at work that day, and “Gentleman
Hal” had fallen as its victim. The
keeper of the “Retreat” had been
busily engaged all day dealing out
“firewater,” and those who had
come from “farriu parts,” and de
clared they were “holler clar from
the top of their heads down to
their toes,” and had throats
parched as an alkali flat,” were
now either pretty well “slewed,”
and keen for fights, or else in the
first stages of the “jim jams.” As
the men gathered around the dead
man—who had Jbeeu known as
“Gentleman Hal,” Because of his
neat aud cleanly appearance—a
slight,' gol<jen-haired woman came
rushing up, and as the crowd part
ed she passed through, and raising
two white hands above her head,
she gave one awful shriek and
threw herself upon the prostrate
body. At this tragic turn of events
the rough men all drew back and
stood silently, while she moaned
and cried and wrung her hands,
kneeling there in the snow that
was now dyed a vivid crimson by
the blood that was flowing from
her husband’s body.
Over this strange group the sun’s
rays danced and sparkled, sending
off countless scintillations from the
polished knives that were thrust
sidewise through the broad belts
at the men’s waists. As the woman
swayed back and forth and moan
ed, a great muscular fellow came
up, and laying his hand upon her-
shoulder said:
“Come, Mrs.-North, ye mnsn’t
be a kneelin’ hurin the wet; come,
ye must gitup.au’ go home.”
“Oh, Hal! Hal!” she wailed.
“Come, ye MUST git up; ye see it
can’t be mended now,” he said.
“Tell me! oh, tell me! is be
dead?” she asked, with streaming
eyes upraised to his.
To resist the pleading of her
soft voice was more than “Placer
Jim” could do.»
“Well, Mrs. North, I reckon I
may’s well tell the truth. I don’t
think he’ll be in his trampers any
more,” said he, in a low tone.
“It ’pears he passed his checks
in mighty suddent like,” said “Big
Mike,” one of the bullies of the
camp.
Then the men took up the life
less body of Hal North, and Jim
raised the woman tenderly, and re.
placing the shawl which had fallen
from her head, he led her gently,
aud followed behind.
As they laid the corpse down in
the little cabin, a child came from
a corner, where she had been busi
ly engaged with books and dolls,
and seeing the dead body of her
father, and her mother weeping
and wringing her hands,she set np
a sad wail that was heartrending
to hear. A few women had gath
ered in, and were doing their best
to console the distracted wife, but
of little Elfie c no one seemed to
take notice, until she had climbed
up and lay across the body; her
dress dyed red in the blood of her
murdered lather.
Then “Placer Jim’s” great heart
once more softened, and,taking the
child in his great, strong arms, he
said
“Yes, honey, it was an ornary
sneak-thief uv a rattlesnake Tim
that guv yer pap a bad pop, an’, if
he hadn’t a-cleared out o’ this ’ere
diggin’s qnicker’n greased light-
nin’, it’d a-bin rather warm far
him. Don’t cry, baby, we’ll fix it
up fnr you and yer mar. We’re all
pards in this gulch, and ye’ll not
want fur grab.”
“Poor papa! poor papa!” she
wailed.
“Yes, poor little chick,” he said,
stroking the long yellow curls
softly, “yer pap’s done with this
world.”
The powerful, muscular fellow
looked noble in the strength of his
manhood as he held the sobbing
child close to his bosom and paced
up and down the room, with the
shambling strength of a huge griz
zly.
Two days afterward they buried
“Gentleman Hal” and his pretty
golden haired wife in one grave.
She, too, had died. “Heart fail
ure,” the doctor skid, but all un
derstood; it was “heart-break.”
As the miners placed the two
bodies in one grave the short win
ter day was closing in; ^t was
growing dark in tbe narrow gulch,
and the chilly wind swept moan
ing up and down the long, black
canons. Not far from the grave
stood the rude cabin, surrounded
by the labor of Hal’s hands There
yawned the deserted shaft, and
around it were piled ileaps of dull,
lead-colored ore, long since repudi
ated. Some old, rusty shovels and
picks and fragments of broken
machinery marked the scene of
past labors.
Little Elfie cried and hid her
face in Jim’s bosom when the dull
thud of clay fell with that desolale
,and heart-wrenching sound upon
tlie piue boards, that hid from
view all that was earthly of Hal
North and his young wife.
After the funeral, the cabin was
abandoned and “Placer Jim” ap
pointed as sole guardian of the wee
mite of an orphan, Elfie North,
and she was taken to his cabin aud
given in charge of a motherly old
woman.
He had been working rather un
successfully all winter, with now
and then a streak of luck, bat more
often, long, wearisome periods of
disappointment. From the day of
“Gentleman’s Hal’s” death, Jim
had stubbornly refused to touch a
drop of whisky.
“I 11 not touch it, I’ve seen
euongh of : its work,” said he one
day, when importuned to drink.
“But jest take one with me, jest
fur the sake uv old times,” coaxed
Big Tom, who had been Jim’s
closest friend.
“Nary a drop, ole pard; we’va
drank our last dram together.
You’re all a-goin’ to hel! as fast as
the dew drop’ll take ye.”
“Where’s the nngget, Jim?” ask
ed Tom one dey, as they were
standing outside the cabin.
“She’s in there playin’ with her
dolls; an’ Tom, you never see sich
a nagget in all your born days.
Why, it’s worth more’n any. gold
dust ye ever heerd tell on,” said
Jim, swelling with pride. “Come
and see.”
As they opened the door, a blue
eyed, golden-haired fairy came
dancing to greet Jim.
“Well, you do hev the durn’dest
lack; bat you needn’t give us all
the dirty shake, if ye air a-gardeen
fur a kid,” said Tom.
“Well, Tom, when T see Hal
North a-wallerin’ in £?s?pwn bide®,

spot, I vowed I’d never touch a
drop up the nasty pizen, an’I’ve
kept my word,” said Jim, as he
took Elfie np in his arms.
“Yes,” said Tom, solemn-like, as
he cast an envions glance at the
happy pair, “yes, it does seem a.
pity that Hal an’ his purty, yaller-
haired wife went ‘over the range’
so sndden-like an’ left this toddler
a-hangin’ onter you.” ' !

“That is a sort uv company fur a

pan out, an’ I reckon I’ll go, ’cause
I’m dry as a fish, now/’
“It was the dew drop that caused

soliloquized Tom, as he left the
house, and turned his face toward
the “Retreat.” “An’ if that orna

Tbe last Irish census shows a
decline of population since 1881
of 460,000. The number of for
eigners has increased, chiefly ow
ing to the large immigration of
Russian Hebrews. The Method
ists have increased about thirty
per cent. Tbe Roman Catholics
have decreased ten per cent., the
Episcopalians six percent, and the
Presbyterians five per cent. But
tbe Roman Catholic clergy have
incueased. The Irish language is
also dying out. Ten years ago
64,000 people spoke Irish -only. Iu
1891 there were 38,000. In 1881
there were 885,000-who could

good roads bring Republican vic
tories.” November 8th brought
good aoads aud fine weather, bat
no victories of special importance.
Republicans worked long and hard
for the establishment of the regis
try system, and as a whole promot
ed the adoption of the Australian
or secret ballot system. But these
did not bring victory. But it is
not to be inferred for a moment
that these expedients to promote
free ballot should be abandoned.
It is not to be inferred that Re
publicans themselves would move
for the abolishment of these safe
guards of individual lights. But it
is to be inferred that the leaders of
that party will -no longer claim
those aJjnncts as insuring Repnb
can success.
They claim as an undoubted
cause of the. long hold upon na
tional affairs enjoyed by them
selves has been babitnal blun
dering by the Democratic party.
Events of the past few years, how
ever, show that somebody else has
blundered; notin trivial things,but
in a carefully studied, carefully
planned series of insults to the
masses of wage earners and food
producers of the country.
It cannot be claimed that the
matchless growth of material
wealth that has signalized Our his
tory since the war, as well as be
fore,would have been-prevented by
any party, if such could have been
possible. It is combined impn
deuce and idiocy to assume, as
many politicians have done, that
this growth has been due to the
honesty and sagacity of any politi
cal party. With such a country
and such a people, a fertile field is
presented for spoliation, but not to
the extent of depletion and ruin,by
any party. It is not the danger of
starvation, but tbe inherent sense
of insulted manhood and of person
al rights, that has roused the mass
es to some sort of rebellion against
the long establised rale that has
marked the past twenty seven years
of our notional history.
Even while the nation was strag
gling in the throes of civil war,
waged, as was then alleged upon
one hand, to vanquish treason in
ode direction, insidious treason in
another direction intrenched itself
within the very ccnncils-of the
government of the Union, and has
ever since been busy iu doing its
nefarious work on tbe same spot.
The fact slowly dawns upon the
minds of thoughtful meu that this
same treason is operating to re
duce our laboring and producing
masses to the condition of the peas
antry of Europe. It has shown a
master hand in this direction,'and
that hand is largely dictated and
guided by influences outside of
our national limits.
Tariffs on foreign imports, per
petuated beyond their proper time,
because of war necessity for rais
ing revenue, have been continued
under pretense of benefit to labor,
ignoring the fact that ocean and
inland transportation charges with
reasonable tariffs added to the cost
to consumers of foreign goods, are
in themselves a masterly protec
tion to American industries.
The special privileges, large im-
mnties from taxation, and down
right free gifts from the treasury
of tens of millions to men who
loaned currency to the government,
have all been kept up ’till tbe pres
ent time, ignoring the fact that ev
ery man who loaned this money to
the government at extortionate
rates was an American citizen, and
under the same obligations to sus
tain bis country as the man who
stood in the ranks to be shot .at, at
reduced pay instead of by extor-
masses have become thoroughly
alarmed. They have been more
over goaded to desperation by the
insulting attitude of millionaires
and monopolists, the creatures of
unjust and special laws, who have
asserted by word and deed that if
the man who labors is in no dan
ger of freezing or starving he has
no business to complain—no right
to protest. No sane man can deny
the existence of bad laws. No sane
man can deny that the Republican
party has been every moment since
18S5, four and ond-half cents in
1S86, five cents in 1887, seven _ and
bne-half cents in 1888, four and.
one-half in 18S9.

ed the enactment of every sentence
of bad laws. No sane man can de
ny that the same party has enact
ed nearly all the laws since that
year. The Democratic party claim
to have had no chance to show
what they could do to counteract
tbe effects of bad laws during thir
ty years. Grant that without^ dis
cussion.. Bat the Democratic par
ty have had numerous opportuni
ties fo use majoriries in one or
more branches of the national con
gress, to show what they were wil
ling to do, if they had had majori
ties in all branches. And a scru
tinizing search of the records will
fail to reveal wherein they would
have done much better than the
opposite party.
Now “it is a condition, not a the
ory, that confronts ns.” The man
who uttered that, now historic ad
age is placed at the helm of state
by an enormous popular majority,
with both branches of congress iD
supposed harmony with him. Will
the nation now jnmp out of the fry
ing pan into the fire? Will there
be any improvement in oar nation
al affairs? The incoming presi
dent has never given proofs of de
votion to a single change in public
measures affecting the welfare of
the great masses of plain people.
Of coarse the cry comes up: “He
will take off thg tariff.” Very well,
we shall see. With such a reduc
tion, where will he get his revenue
with which to run the government?
Will he advocate an income tax to
make up deficiences? Will he re
monetize silver, and advocate its
being placed on an exact parity
with gold, both as to coinage and
value, aud thus make available
tLat great source of oar national
wealth? Will he issue legal ten.
ders to the desired limit of total
volume to meet the necessities of
the country and people, and with
each issues inaugurate a compre
hensive system of sea-coast and in
ternal improvements? Will he ad
vocate or allow to escape his veto
any measure that would make
tariff for revenue” one dollar less
than the Republican “tariff for
protection?” .He has either been
hostile to, or silent on these great
questions. Will the party, in or
oat of congress, be better than the
president? Will they chrystalize
around the demands of the people,
using acquiescent elements from
other parties, and form the majori-
needed to pass bills over his
veto?
These questions are neither ir
relevant nor trivial. Tbe Demo-
cratic party is now rich jti opportu
nities and privileges for useful-
nesss. Will it make use of them,
or blunder as usual, and drag
through four years of power to
show themselves only capable of
rivaling their late antagonists in
imbecility and crime? If tbe lat
ter, then those Of ns, laborers and
farmers, who have furnished that
party with its jpresent opportune
ties will wish wo had looked two
inches ahead of our noses, instead
of only one.
Meantime we shall, in the coarse
of the next four years, see wiiat we
soall see, unless oar eyes deceive
us, or oar heads mislead ns.

sively, only the fresh lands and
mauured lots that produce cotton.
I charge the crop with only the
labor that is done directly on the
land of that crop. Whatever work
is done on the cotton land or ma
nure for that land I charge the
cotton crop, also tax on such land
valued at five times average value
of whole plantation. ' I add fifteen
per cent profit to actual cost of
horse feed, etc. So you perceive
that for five years accounted my
cotton cost on fin average of five
and one-half centsbased on home-
raised provisions and other lowest
possible charges.
Not to be lengthy I will say that
there is no profit raising cotton at
such prices on land requiring mr-eh
manure, or not so well adapted to '
cotton as not to yield 400 lbs lint
per acre. • lo the man who owns
farm and does his own labor there
is fair, wages, bnt no profit on land- -
ed investment. The cotton is only
ready means for coining that much
of bis time into money. The renter
or cropper cannot pay rent or
share and get at all fair wages rfom
cotton at les3 than eight cents net.
I mean seventy five dollars per
year including feed for the work
