parently elected representatives. Van Or

Opinion of the New York Tress.
New Yoiik, Nov. ft. The Sun sa.wu
I'liiTc will be no force bill. Yesterday's
victory disposes forever of the ioi'amous
project w hich menaced the rights of Amer
ican citizenship and the peace cf the na
tion. The conspiracy will never bo re
vived. The twenty-third president of the
United States will go out of oldiceoiithe
4tU of next March, having earned the re
spect and sincere esteem of his fellow coun
trymen. The Herald: The people of the nation
have spoken. Their verdict is, No F.nglish
theap lalior. This is the result nnd the
meaning of yesterday's election, in which
protection, with its consequences, wns the
une great issue. The campaign was fought
Mi protection. There was no issue on cau
iidates, er;cept as they stood for or against
protection. There was no issue on parties
ixcept as they represented tariff for un
Iniited protection or tariff for public rev
enue. The World: The voters have entered final
judgment upon the verdict twice rendered
by them in condemnation of the Republicau
policy und practices. The issues iu a na
tional election have never bien more thor
oughly debated or more generally under
stood. The will of the people inns' now
become the law of the land. To defy them
further, as the Republican senate and ad
ministration have done for two years past,
would be moral treason.
The Tribune: It, has been hoped that the
iplendid results attained under President
Harrison's administration had placed be
rond doubt the maintenance of tlie Repub
lican party for years to come. A result in
Joubt is therefore most disappointing, and
If it proves that a Democratic president
and a Democratic congress have been elect
ed the consequences to the business and
the industries of the country will not bo
such as to insure that party a long lease of
power.
The Advertiser: There is no accounting
for it, save upon the ground that thu
farmers have fallen iu with the Democratic
idea that they would bo better off If some
of the wHge earners and manufactnrors of
the country could bo made poorer. They
will have to be given time to recover from
this hideous folly.
The -Times: The Republican party re
mains with the great body of its voters ns
lioncst nnd lis devoted to the best interest
of the country ns it has ever been. The
powerful machinery of I'm l:rty, which
for at least eight yearn has been used by
corrupt nnd unscrupulous men to serve the
Kclllsh etnls of greedy monopolist!! r.s wel'
s their own, is broken, It can never be
ri'coii.slltuted for like uses. The honest
voters who in the past have blindly sup
ported it urn no longer numerous enough
to restore it..

HOW WAS ONE TO KNOW?
If linl boon dismal, wot ilftj, and
ntffht fell early on tho low, fopfty coun
try lyinpr Retwcen Scranton and Tardy
vfll croi'sroail. An old man nnd a
pirl of about Mxtf-rm years of ago wero
siir.KKlinft alone through tho darkness,
lipsvmtteil with, rntul and almost worn
out with fn'.itftio.
"It's a 1oiii seven milo, I reckon cli,
Myrii V" suid tlio old man a ho- stooped
to" rest for a moment on lii onknn staff.
Tlio pirl gave liitn her nrm onoe uioro.
"You must let me help you," said she.
"Wo iiro not halfway there yet."
"Johu couldn't ha' got my letter,"
said thfl old man, or he'd ha' Recn at
tlio depot with a wngon. It'll ho n
he.rd blow to John when ho finds out
tho old plnco is !d iind goun, but how
one to know ? We've had lota of
bad luck, Myn." ho fl l.lod, plaintively.
"I hepo ho won't blame mo, although if
I had known wo miht ha' pulled
ihronih."
"Father," said Myra. "yon did all
thit could bo done If Mr. Enwick
had lived you would not havo had to
5uiy the note, for lie was nn honost man.
It's r.n act of Providon and will como
out all irrhf in the p;;d."
" Yew. Myra: I don't wnnt to bo (join'
icdn Pro! ih'tiee, but John had his
hart sot so on tho old place, nnd now
it's gone. How was or.o to know that
Mr. Enwick would h:' boon killed so
o.iddin' ? You hev those miniu' eoititl
eates, I s'pose, Myrft ?" said tho old
man. after a long sileuco.
"Yes," said Mym, "I put thorn
away iu our buudle."
"I'm fjlud o' that, H'yra, for though
t!i'y niu't worth nothin' now, they'll
kind o' remind mo when I feel liko com
plainin' that Brother Enwick would ha'
saved us if ho could."
The roadway, tilled with miry chuck
holes nud lined on either side with
stones und biambly bushes, became al
?vnst imyuss.a.ble. Tho old niau's
bruit!; c;kmo faster uuil faster. Myra
"i;;o'o:ti'd him now u!l the whilo. He
had long uiuce stopped talking, and
elyra knew that it would only exhaust
liitn inure and so kept silent. Tho dark
i:;vs dcepenod until at livt all objects
wero mi'liseeraiblo, except that hero
a".d thera the light from tho kitchen
window of some farmhouse struggled
out into tlie fogsry night. It was lato
when they rtood at John's door and
kuoeked for a.lmiHon. Tho inmates
had lvtiivd und it took sowo time to
urouse them.
"Vho'B there?" roarcJ a rough voice
from th? interior.
At the answer there were some, impre
cr.tious in au undertone, whether at tho
darkness, tho cat or tho visitors is hard
to toll, but UiJiilly tho key turned and
John stood ia tlio doorway with a candle
in his hand.
"How in thunder did yen get here !
such a night us this?" was his affection-
uto welcome. j
"Vt'o walked!" answered Myra, for I
the old man had euuk into a chuir al
most too exhausted to speak.
" Howdy, John," he murmured; "yon
didn't get my letter, I s'pose?"
"I got it,'1 said John, "but you didn't
think me sech a fool as to drive to town
through sech roads as this, did ye?"
"I meant nothin', John; wo was ablo
to walk," and the old man raised his
weary head and tried to look cheerful.
"So the old place is gone," said tho
son in a low voice.
"Yes, John; Providence sees fit to
wake me poor in my old days and we'vo
coruo to live with you. Myra'll be a
Civat help and chore crouad."
"Providence, did you Bay?" retorted
John. "It was nothing but blasted
foolishness. You might ha' known
more than sign that note, and as for
Myra, what use will she be 'round here,
I'd like to know ? But hang up your
duds; it's lute and we've a day's work
'head cf us to-niorror. You con sleep
iu the loft bed and Myra can crawl in
with the hired girl," and without a
word moro he ushered them weary and
supperless to their miserable beds.
When at last the old man fell asleep
there were tear-marks on his withered
cheeks. Myra rose and crept to the !
door of his room. "I couldn't ha'
helped it, John," she heard him mur
mur iu his restless slumber. "Brother
Enwick means well and it kind o seems
that Providence must ha' done it. I'll
chore 'round, and Myra is bo good we'll
make no trouble." The sky bad cleared
and a bright moonlight was now shin
ing into the room. There was an
anxious, pleading look on the old
man's face. Suddenly he stretched out
his arms. "Oh, John," he cried,
"look at me as you used to do wheu
yon was a leetlo boy, when you put
your arms 'round my neck and kissed
me. You was tho purtiest boy them
days." He smiled at some happy re
membrance. Myra stooped and kissed
him aad again he smiled. "IU do it,"
she said to herself. "Brother John is a
brute."
The next moruiug when her father
woke Myra was at his bedside.
"Father," said Myra, "I'm going back
to Scranton to-day to find work. Johu
will not think so hard of us if we tako
care of ourselves."
The old man tried to remonstrate,
but she quieted his fears. "Soon as I
get a place I will send for you to come,
aud we will live together."
Her father smiled through his tears.
"God bless you, my daughter," ho
murmured, as sho nestled her head on
his shoulders.
John gave vent to his approval of tho
proposition by hitching up the team
immediately after breakfast to take her
to town. She found work in a store,
and although the salary was barely
enough to support one comfortably,
sho sent for her father a week later.
Mvra's prudent management made enda
iiioet, and tney lived happily together
in their hnmblo apartments. At night
:.:yra would read aloud until the old
r.'ua grew sleepy, and then she would as
sist him to his bed, for he was moro
I'lV-blt) now t!l:i:i when Via tnrdr ika Irtnrv
walk to his son's house. John came te
son them nt long intervsh, but Lit
father was made none the happier by
these visits, for, somehow, John alw4
managed to suggest that it wm "fool
ishness" that lost tho old place, and tho
old man would pitifully answer: "How
was or.c to kuow, John how" was on
to know ?"
As a rule, the people of Scranton
paid little attention to Myra and her
father. Their poverty forced them to
live a quiet, retired lif(. Myra had a
slitf! 1 acquaintance with tho son of her
employer, young Clarence Wilbur, Jr.
Ho was about to be admitted into part
nership with his father, and people re
garded him as ono of the coming men
ofHoraulon. Ho belonged to a family
ihtit boasted a lino of ancestors traeo
ablo back into tho misty past. Clar.
eiieo, however, made littlo of it, and hil
piobian associations sometimes aroused
tho remonstrance of his aristocratic pa
rents. His answers were always based
on his pliilosophio notion that "a ninu'i
a man for a' that."
One pleasant Sunday afternoon whil
enjoying a stroll ho paused tho hous
whom Myra and her father resided.
Tho window was open to admit the re
freshing air. Myra was reading aloud
to her father one of those matchless ro
mances of Hawthorne, mid tho clear, ex
pressive intoiiutiou of tho words pene
trated tho outer world and enught
Clarence's attention. Ho stopped and
listened.
"I swear," he said to himself, after
sho hail finished, "that girl is a tine
reader." Ho resdved to learn some
thing of her circumstances, and so
called one duy to see her father, o. ton
sil dy on business, but really to catch u
glimpse of tlie interior of their little
homo. Myra was away, but ho found
the old muu cheerful aud glad to talk.
The room was plainly furnished but
very neat and orderly arranged. A lit
tla book-ease filled with choieo reading,
n few simple pictures on tho wall, hero
and there a piece of brio-a-brae arti-tie-.illy
arranged, and a boquet of wild
llowers in tho window, were about all,
but it seemed homelike, und Clarence
wan not averse to calling again "when
Myra would bo at home," as tlio old
muu expressed it in his earnest invita
tion. "Myra," said tho old man, "is a-goin'
to bo a school-teacher. She is a power
ful scholar already, and you will always
."uid her studyin' when tho work's done.
Sho uses too much of the night for it
sometimes, it seems to mo, but sho has
sot her mind on't Myry is only my
mlopted daughter I s'poso you didn't
know that?"
Clarence lookod a negative.
Myra passed the examinations with
ercilit and obtained a situation. A
happy girl sho was and tho children
thought there never had been another
such teacher. Clareuco called at her
homo from time to time and occasion
ally dropped in at school. Myra likod
him and it was evident that ho liked
her. As timo pat-sod ho saw her moro
frequently, and ono evening as they
stood at the garden gate ho breathed
tho question with fcur and trembling.
"Yes; Myry is too smart to bo a
IJ.irdwell; bat, bless yo, she's more'u a
daughter to 1110. John, that's my boy,
ho found fault when I tuk her, but I
i r.ys: 'Her father was my oldest friend,
and I'd ha' wanted him to do the same
by von had I died when you wero
I vHc,' so r!:o come into our house.
Thii was when wo had a plaeo of
o;:r own, with ;ood horses and money
i.i tho bank, but bad luck followed and
Myry'e done all tho caiiu.'" There
wero ti ara ia tho old man's eyes as ho
recounted thu wh.do history of their
t: oubles. Clarence went away strangely
au'ected.
When his father heard of the engage
ment ho said: "Ail I've got to say,
Clarence, is that you are a bigger fool
than I ever took yon for that girl has
neither money no station."
"But sho has character, and that is
something in this world," answered
Clarence.
Time rolled by and at last there came
the wedding day. The morning was
glorious, just such a one as they would
have chosen. Claronee's new home
stood ready. It was tho pride of tho
city and the largest und sunniest room
of all was reserved for Myra s father.
On tho eventful morning Clarence
read something in the Bulletin that
made him thoughtful. He donned his
hat and went to see Myra. "Myra,"
said he, "your father has some certifi
cates in mines that never panned out.
Will you let mo sue them ?"
She went into the house and brought
out a little packa--. His hands shook
as ho untied the ribbon. His face grew
very pale. "Myra," said he, "do you
kuow that they have struck a new bod
of oro in the Ingram gulch mine ? Mr.
Miison, of Huekleyville doesn't own
half what these certificates represent,
but he has made his fortune. Your
father is undoubtedly' wealthier than
any man in Scranton.
The old man could hardly compre
hend it but it proved true.
After Myra and her husband returned
from their trip he said to thera: "I've
bought buck the old place and John
shall have it when I die."
John got it but he wasn't satisfied.
Sj-uieuow, it looked "an awful mean,
paltry sum. He'd leave me a beggar
while that hussy goes in silks and dia
monds," ho growled to his wife, and she
growled in reply: "You might ha' used
him decent aud got it all ef you hadn't
been such a fool."
But she was unreasonable, for "how
was one to know." Chicago Nows.
