Does he possess the qnalitiesofa political tratgegiit of the first order?" is a question that Is Just now o'ten asked with considera ble anxiety by mem bers of both parties. This is a question that does not as yet ad mit of a satisfactory answer, as the gentle man to whom it refers is a comparatively new man in National politics and the cam paign has not as yet progressed far enough to show his real mettle. Eastern politi- Tlicmat Henry Carter. cians, however, have already found him a very different sort of man from those they have been in the habit of associating with in the past. "While a notable representative of the splendid type of public man the newer "West is producing, in personal appearance he represents the typical New England Yankee and he hai all of the typical Yankee's tact, diplomacy and shrewd good humor. On meeting Mr. Carter for the first time one is impressed with the suggestion he gives of suppressed mental and physical activity, and of his easily discernible capacity for secrecy. A glance shows you that he is one of those men who will never divulge any more than he cares to divulge; one who does not talk to conceal his thoughts, but when he has nothing to say or"has something to conceal keeps silent On of the Yonn;est of Managers. Mr. Carter is one of the youngest, if not the yonngest, men who has ever been made Chairman of a National Committee, and ha is the first "Western man, althongh nearly all of the Republican Presidential candi dates have been Western men, to be en trusted with tne management of a national campaign. His reception by the leaders of his party has been a very cordial one, and Rutsett Harriton. he has thus far made a most favorable im pression upon all with whom he has been brought In contact He has taken hold of the afiairs oi the committee with a firm hand, and it is evident that he intends to tit at the head of the table. The policy on which he proposes to conduct this year's campaign was shown in one of his first official acts. In former cam paigns the vicinity of Madison Square has keen the political center of New York, hut this year, so far as the Republicans are con cerned, a Teiy different order of things pre vails. Bv choice of Mr. Carter the Re publican headquarters have been located on Pitth avenue, not far from Central Park and a long war from the business and hotel centers. There are not wanting a good many who complain at this change, but a visit to the new headquarters makes its wisdom evident In past campaigns the National Committee has very otten been greatly embarrassed by a multitude oi per sons, who had no lecitimate business there. but whose curiosity- and livelv sense of self importance brought them daily to head quarters to retard business and encroaoh upon the time of more important callers. He LooVi Older Than He Is. I called upon Mr. Carter the other even ing at his hotel after his day's -work wsi m r i ri'1350 n "TfV 111 dons nd had a long and interesting chat with him. He ii ihort and lean, blonds and fair-faced, and with a demeanor that if &i$y Matthew Stanley Quay. quiet and retiring. Ho is now about 37, but seems to have matured early and looks con siderably older than his years. His career has been an interesting one. He is the son of an Irish immigrant, who is now a watch man in the Philadelphia mint,and was born in Scioto county, Ulna About 18C5 his parents removed to Peoria, III., and lived lor several vears in Colonel "Bill" Morri son's district Here the son received a common school education. In 1875 he en gaged in business in Burlington, la., and at the same time began the study of law. He was admitted to the bar in Burlington and practiced there until 1882, when he removed to Helena, Mont His career in Montana was from the outset a most successful one. He made friends all through the territory, one of his intimates being Russell Harrison. son of the President, and in 188S, some what against his will, he was chosen Terri torial delegate to Congress. AiterMontana s admission to the Union, in November, 1889, he was elected to Congress, but was de feated in his fight for re-election. His course in Congress illustrates in a measure his clear-cut views on pnblio questions. He voted for Reed for Speaker, and was made Chairman of the Committee on Mines and Mining, in which position ha was instru mental in having a protective duty put on the silver lead ores of Mexico. He was an ardent supporter of the silver bill of 1890 and firm in his advocacy of the free coinage of silver. Polled for Harrison at Minneapolis. In March, 1890, Mr. Carter was made Commissioner of the General Land Office, and held that office until a few weeks ago. He was one of President Harrison's most prominent and forcelul supporters at the Minneapolis Convention and did much to bring about his renomination. Mr. Carter is a pleasing public speaker and is counted one of the ablest lawyers in the Northwest He tells me that he takes great delight both in the theory and practice of law, and aside from the lascination that politics, al ways has for ambitious men of keen intel lect, wonld be glad if he could give his en tire time to his profession. He is happily married and a father. One of his sisters is the wife of "Tom" Cruse, a millionaire banker and mine owner of Helena, and an Irishman noted for his eccentricities.

High quality and lower prices were never so closely con nected as in our fall showing of Parlor Furniture. The makers have effected a great saving in price without lower ing the standard of quality. As to art and artistic effects there's a steady improvement Even where old styles are revived there's a touch of im provement here and there which makes all the difference in. the world to those who have an eye for the beautiful. We devote a very large floor to the display of handsome Parlor Suits; handsome even in the cheaper grades. The stock is at flood tide now, and it's an excellent time to make selection.

Like hi i prede cessor. Senator Quay, he is a patient and thoughtful listener and always seems to be waiting for his visitor to tell all he knows. He weighs all the features of a case before deciding, hut this done his decision is quickly given and action with him always follows promptly npon decision. He is also a shrewd Judge of hnman nature, and can generally detect at a glance the chronio and useless bore and the man who has a private ax to grind. Members of this class find him an exceedingly polite man, but a hard one to approaoh. Newspaper men whose duty brings them In contact with Mr. Carter al ready hold him in warm regard. He Believes In Party Machinery. He is credited with many witty sayings and apt remarks that hit some nail squarely on .the head. He is a hard and systematio worker, and can turn off a huge volume of business in a day. In the evening, after the day's work is done, he takes pleasure in a qniet chat with a friend, and is not averse to a mild stimniant and a good cigar. Were I to attempt to describe Chairman Carter in a single sentence. I would say that he is a practical politician in the best sense of the term. He does not believe that one should take a brass band with him when one starts ont fishing, but is rather of the opinion that the campaign of quiet, per sistent effort is the one that wins. He is a firm believer in the value of organization and discipline, and of the legitimate use of money in politics. Party fealty, to his way of thinking, carries with it the obligation to give freely ol one's time and labor to the party's advancement, and be regards it as most important of all that every voter should be brought into direct contact with and made to feel the influence and force of the party machinery. Thus it will be seen that there is nothing of the sentimentalist about Mr. Carter, and James Sullivan Clarkion, that the present campaign, as far as his part is concerned, will be one of continuous and intelligent labor and of shrewd, practical common sense. Tom Carter's Ab'e Xileatenants. Chairman Carter is assisted in the dis charge ot his duties by a Vice Chairman, a Treasurer, a Secretary and an Executive Committee of ten. The "Vice Chairman is M. H. de Young, editor of the San Fran cisco Chronicle, and one of the most skilled and capable politicians on the'Pacifio ooast J&, ,Hi JEls O XX 1 Mr. de Young is bald-headed and snare, and never fails to take advantage of an op portunity, no matter how slight the surface indications of its preienoe may be. The Treasurer of the committee is Cornelius N. Bliss. He is about 60 years of age, one of New York's merchant princei and a gentle- k i alHsf IlB flsHkJI Wf w oF7 Stephen Benton Etkins. man of the old school. His influence in his party is great and deserved, and as a raiser of campaign funds he is generally most successful. Last year he could have been the Republican candidate tor Governor of New York, but declined the honor. The Secretary ot the committee, whose main business is to aot as a buffer between the Chairman and the general public, is ex-Congresman Louis E. McComas. Mr. McComas is a diplomat, has an abundance of tact and humor, and possesses the rare gift of being able to re fuse a request and at the same time send the applicant away good natured aud happy. The Executive Committee of Ten com prises some of the ripest political experi ence and some of the best political talent in the Republican party. It is headed by J. S. Clarkson, of Iowa, and its other mem bers'are Garret A Hobart, of New Jersey Joseph H. Manley, of Maine; Samuel Pes senden, of Connecticut; Henry C. Payne, of "Wisconsin; Richard C Kerens, ot Mis souri; "William O. Bradley, of Kentucky; William A. Sutherland, of New York, arid John R. Tanner and William J. Campbell, of Illinois. The Fighting Man From Iowa. Mr. Clarkson is one of the best-known members of his party and a political strategist ot the first order. He is a rotund, good-natured gentleman, whose manners are alwavs pleasing and inviting. He was a successful editor before he became a politician, and is still one of the owners of the Dei Moines Register. Mr. Clarkson's qualities are those that attract the fighting element of his side. He performed mag nificent service during the campaign of 1888, when he was Senator Quay's chief lieuten ant as he is now Mr. Carter's, and later as. First Assistant Postmaster General fol lowed a policy that made him the idol of all stont and unbending partisans. He op posed President Harrison at Minneapolis, but his opposition ended with the Presi dent's renomination and he is now earn estly striving to secure his re-election. "The Republican party," said he the other day, "is the homestead of the Blaine men as well as the Harrison men, and the vir- Sr OF FINE FURNITURE AT FAIR PRICES Will find our fall showing the largest andfinest ever exhibited in this city. We open the Fall, campaign with flying colors, and are. in The Push and The Pul for the largest fall business ever done by any house in our line in Pittsburg. We'll get it too, for such an assortment and collection of goods as we show, joined to our prices and backed up with our matchless terms, cannot fail to attract trade. & With a colossal collection of for every room in the house, affords a field for choice not EXPOSI We extend a cordial invitation to our friends in the surrounding country who will come in to see the Exposition to make our store headquarters while in town.

A sight of our grand assortment of Furniture is an Exposition in itself. President bavins -a fairly renominated must be rt-eleotid." Mr. Clarkson is a firm believer in young men, and nothing delights him more than to see them taking an aotive and earnest in terest in political affairs. The campaign club he regards as a most effective political instrument, and he is just now devoting much, time and labor to increasing their number and effectiveness. A Man Who Cannot' Be Battled. Garret A. Hobart, the second member of the committee, is a typical Jerseyman. He was born and has always lived there. He is a lawyer by profession, and a very good one, too; has served as Speaker of the State Assembly and as member of the State Sen ate, and in 1884 was the Republican caucus candidate for United States Senator. Prom 1880 until 1891 he was Chairman oi the Re- Eublican State Committee, and since 18S4 as been one of the most efficient members of tho National Committee. He is an adroit and clear-sighted politician and always goes into a fight with a determination to win. He is a man of great energy, and possesses a temperament which nothing can ruffle. Joseph H. Manley, of Maine, has been for many years the most trusted lieutenant of James G. Blaine, and it can be truth fully said that never had brilliant chieftain a more devoted or capable follower. As Mr. Blaine's friend and as Chairman of the Republican. State Committee of Maine, Mr. Manley has gained national repute, and while he is a many-sided and successful man of business he likes best to be known as a practical, common-sense politician. Personally he is a man of singular charm. His manners are frank and pleasing, he looks you squarely in the eye when he talks to you, and he is an easy and always interest ing talker. His bearing is always modest, auiet and self-possessed. Though a verv busy man, he is fond of the amenities of life, and his home life in Augusta is a most delightful one. As a political fighter he believes in giving and taking hard knocks, but. as he is alwavs open and honest in his methods, his enemies respect as well as fear him, and in private life he is most popular. Like Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Manley is the friend and admirer of young men, and much of his success In Maine politics has been due to his habit of availing himse.lt' of the abilities and energies of the younger element of his party. Rurus R. AYlLSOJT. THE SCHOOL IN POLITICS. Bad Results Would Follow If It Were to Become an Issue. Tonth's Companion. 1 It will be a sad day for the publio school when it becomes an "issue" in national ' politics. Por it always happens that the high purposes of right thinking and right feeling men are hampered, and often they are thwarted, by the timidity of politicians. Every one knows that there exists in this countrr a strong opposition to the publio school as it is now organized. There is too much reason to tear that parties will begin to "hedge," and to use meaningless phrases abont the pnblio schools in their platforms as soon as the school becomes an issue. The politicians will apprehend that the anti-scnool vote will bo against them, and they will accordingly take a position which will be no position in reference to the mat ter. There are indications in the party platforms of the present year that the school is to be an issue of the future. It has al ready entered the politics of some of the States, with evil results. If all the people were as well agreed in religion as they are in reference to the use fulness of education in making good citi zens there would bo no trouble. Unfor tunately that is not the case. Consequently the only possiblo rule is to mate the school a place ot instruction in the fundamentals of knowledge, in morality and in religion so far as all are agreed. Schools so consti tuted, and no others, should be supported by the publio taxes.. If any parents are not satisfied with such schools they should send their children to others at their own expense; but not a dollar of pnblic money should bo spent on schools that are not open to all people on equal terms.

Special In the long list of posts of the Grand Army for which free quarters have been provided there are quarters reported engaged for up wards of 11,000 Pennsylvanians,a from nearly 200 posts, all of whom are pretty well provided for, as those who had the matter in hand took good care to be early on the ground. Comparatively few of the Pennsylvanians are to be quartered in the flimsy temporary barracks in tho parks, where the sanitary arrangements are as bad as they conld well be. These barracks will be a horrible lodging place in the event of the coming cold rains which almost invariably reach Washington about the time of the autumnal equinox, and which, if they come, will render tne vicinity a sea ot mnd on account of the porous nature of the soil, and the recent grading. Within '2i hours applications for free quarters for more than a thousand veterans have been received, though the committee informed all posts bv circulai-letter some time ago that it wonld be impossible to fur nish free lodgings for more than had already been promised. Those who are forced to pav will in all probability find that they will be much out of pocket on account of Eutting off their arrangements till the 11th our, as prices have gone up rapidly since the committee announced that all the free quarters had been exhausted. Hun dreds of occupants of small dwellings have been guaranteed all the lodgers they can ac commodate at the comfortable price of from a dollar to $2 a day, and some have sold every available inch of space for cots upon the floor at from $4 to J5 a day. If the 'cholera shonld step in, and spoil this pretty skin game, Washington will contain mo're aching hearts than ever be fore in its history. TOTAL, ABSTINENCE NOTES.

The Marshal's voice rose again; he stood ontslde the door now. "Foul murder has been, done. As Mar shal It is my dnty to apprehend the guilty. Concealment will go hard with you alL" "Softly to you, now, Marshal," said my father. "Bare to hint that me or mine have concealed a crime, and you will pay for it in one way or another. Yon know well that I scorned the office you occupy. Now, then, perform your duty. Where is your warrant?" The Marshal produced a large, square paper, which my father opened very delib erately, glanced at, and handed back, say ing: "It is not in order there is no date, but I will not take advantage of your stu pidity. We will go with you." "It is not your privilege," the Marshal began, when my father shut him off "To the devil with your privileges! I tell yon we will all go. If you do not want our company, go back and say Philip Gray brings his daughter, nor wouldallow you to exercise your office unless we are allowed to accompany her. Move you on before. I will take Hannah to the Justice aye, to Boston if need be." My father and Hannah followed close on the Marshalis heels; my mother was so con fused she was going without her bonnet She turned back, tied it quickly, and tak ing me by the hand we walked along the road silently to Leyden. As we were passing the inn I lifted my eyes from the ground and beheld a man standing at a win dow. Although his back was to me, there was something about this man's thick neck and bushy hair that made me shivar. He turned around slowly as I looked and my heart stood still. I was petrified with fear. It was the face oi the man who threat ened me in the clump of trees! I was walking behind my mother.' When the man looked out of the window, staring, across the road, I stood stock stilL My mother turned and spoke sharply: "What ails thee, Allan? What makes thee white and so fearful looking, child?" I conld not answer her; my tongue clove to the roof of my mouth in my terror. My heart seemed to rise in my throat. "Allan, lad, what is it?" "I dare not must not tell," I stam mered.

She looked at me curiously; her face went death ly white, but her voice was calm as she said: "Come on we are losing time." When we came up with my father my mother whispered to him: he turned a strange look upon me; I shrunk under his gaze. Then he took my hand in his, and we walked on to the churcn wnere tne jus tice stood talking to the minister. A great crowd was gathered in front of the door. The minister came forward and shook hands with my mother and father. The justice gave notice that the hearing would take place in half an hour in the church that all might be present who desired, and the minister walked beside my mother and Han nah to his house a little way off, while my father led me past the church down a lane. "Now, then, Allan, what is it?" "Must I tell?" I- asked, looking up at him piteously. His face was set. Ha stared at me stonily. "Yes, everything." I was oppressed, crushed. Not because thought Hannah knew aught of the murder, but because she lied. When my father looked at me I burst into tears. "Must I tell against Hannah, too?" My father caught his breath quick; he seemed to be reeling, but he steadied him self quickly. "Yes tell me remember, only me, Allan. Not even to your mother until I give yon permission must you breathe a word. Now, boy, what is this dreadful thing?" Then I told him alL How I was threat ened in the wood; how I saw Hannah walk ing away from it. My father was silent a long time. "Sopoor Hannah coaxed you to be silent," he said bitterly.

How we went to the tool-house, at ' how Hannah's manner changed there. Sty father's face brightened as I went on.
