the deliberate judgment of the coun try has branded the back salary grab as a dishonest thing the custodians of the public purse so many of them as favor ed that scheme or profited by it — put their hands iuto the purse to help them selves tn money which did not belong to them we are well aware that those who wen implicated in lhal outrageous pro ceeding were not all republicans but if democrats get caught in republican traps they in nst lake the consequences it has been shown that while mr gar field very artfully contrived to appear on both sides ofthe question so as to be able to lix up a plausible defense for use among his constituents he was in reali ty the inn influential agent in carrying ' the mensnre through he had it in his power to defeat the bill at either of sev ! eral stages through which it progressed toward consumation but so far from j defeating it he made strre of its success i by calling up tbe appropriation bill at a [ night session when many of its oppo nents having been assured that it would not be called up had gone home and in ' their beds the record makes mr gar j field appear in the bail light of an inten tional deceiver who got the enemies ef the steal out of tho way by a promise which lie did not intend to keep it is ; true that mr garfield put the money back into the treasury when he found ' what a tempest of popular rage had been created but lie bad previously tried to unload it on an institution of learning thus showing that he claimed it as his own property these are the facts and the country will pass on them we don't believe any man who helped along the back salary grab or made auy pretense nl a right to the money thus dishonestly vote 1 will ever be elected president of the united states by any party — wash i post a texan's

county for execution how she found out it was one of the most provoking and unaccountable things ever heard of lina rivers had two lovers and for the life of her she couldnt tell which of them she loved best or if she loved either but if it were per plexing to lina it was doubly so to the two candidates for her favor har ry byrne and william goodwin who however willing to give each other fair play were as much in earnest as men are apt to be in such matters to do lina justice she distributed her smiles very equally between them she was always willing to talk to both and apparently as happy with one as the other but when either urged her to give him a decid ed answer to his suit she didn't know she would think it over and give him an answer next week but when next week came she was unde cided as ever , thus matters went on for some time but it couldn't last forever my dear lina you promised that you would tell me to-day urged har ry whose stock of patience was well nigh exhausted lina's sunny face became instantly overshadowed at those grave earn est words how can i tell you harry when i don't know myself you know if you love me lina and so bitter as the knowledge is i am compelled to believe that you do not and never can but i do love you harry !" re torted lina almost ready to cry at the tender reproach conveyed by these words that is to say i like you very much indeed but do you like me the best — that is what i want to know yes i like you best now then why not promise to become my wife because when i am with william and he talks to me the same way i — i think i like him the best in spite of his pain and perplexity harry could not help smiling at this 7um*e confession but you cannot marry both of us dear child of course not said lina blush ing rosily at this practical application of her words but why can't things go on just as they have been ? that • is what i should like ' for a moment harry stood in si lent perplexity at last quite de spairing of making her comprehend him he said :— i am convinced that you will never entertain a warmer feeling for me than friendship ; and that the wisest tiling for me to do is to seek in absence the peace that for gctfulncss can alone give me god bless you dear lina aud make you very happy with the man who ii for tunate enough to win you ho won't go lie loves me too fond ly thought lina and yet the sound of tlic closing door fell heavily on her heart so mr byrne is fairly off at last said a lady acquaintance to lina the next day i just met him on his way to the station to catch the two o'clock train for cliffdale goodwin is going to be the happy man i see now i always thought your choice would fall on harry i don't know that i'm obliged to have either said lina laughing but with an indescribable sinking at the heart how little do women show of their real thoughts and feeling never did lina rattle away more carelessly and gaily than after receiving this unexpected news just before dinner as lina was sitting alone with her mother in burst her brother james there has been a terrible accident mother the two o'clock train to clilfdale ran into a luggage train and killed i don't know how many ! there's an exlra train going to their relief and they want all the linen bandages and cordials that can be had away bustled kind-hearted mrs rivers to get whatever the house af forded leaving poor lina with a dumb horror in her set eyes and pal id face that no language could ex press going to her room she hur riedly put on her things but how she hardly knew killed she moaned as she hurried towards the station ; and it is i who sent him to his death ! oh harry ! harry ! now indeed i know but ah too late as lina turned the corner of the station in her blind haste she ran di rectly into the arms of a gentleman who was coming from an opposite di rection lina lina gave a wild cry of joy as she looked into the face ofthe speaker oh harry ! can it be you ?' she gasped i thought you were in the train and killed !' i was five minutes too late for the train lina as a matter of course harry went home with lina and curiously enough he chose the longest route he could have taken so you really do care for me a lit t'e lina he said looking down into hor flushed tear wet face i like you a great deal harry , was the low and tremulous reply i please bend your head so i can whis per in your ear well darling 1 i think — yes i am sure that i have found out found out what exclaimed tho young man found out who it is that is dearer to me than all the world besides tell me his name ?' lina hid her flushed cheeks upon ! her lovers shoulder oh harry ! can't you guess she said in a low earnest tone it is you — you ! and to think that i nev er knew it until i thought i had lost you for ever we understand that between one and two thousand dollars have been paid out aud distributed over the county to wit nesses and others holding claims as a re sult ofthe recent motion of mr bingham to recind the order of the county board which allowed the passage of claims but once a year in march the abrogation of that order was a move in the right di rection xow is the time to sow
