TH K TWO FliKKTS.
Theses ws"4riht and the sea wasb.'and,
And the tide danced in as merrily.
When a sa'Jor -poshed his boat from the
sand,
And the waves; kept time with his home
ly glee, .
For the sailor lammed: . "Two fleets there
be, ( ,
And one sails over the sun-lit waves
And one lit andcr the sombre sea."
The sea was bland and the sun was bright.
And a favoring wind blew frush and free.
And the less'ning sail disappeared from
sight;
But the old refrain still re mained with
nte
Which the sailor sang "Two fleets there
he,
And one sails over the sun-lit wares
And one lies tinder the soui'Dns sea."
The tide danced out with tae freight it
bore;
Ah, the tide came back soon smilingly,
But the sailor's boat never touched the
shore.
And I sing to myself, for I cannot flee
From the baunliuc strain "Two fleets
there be.
And one sails over the sun-lit waves
And one lies under the sombre sea."
So one by one from the chilling world
The fleet sail down to the dismal lee
To the fleet where every sail is furled.
And my heart keeps time to the mystic
key,
While I drift and sing, "Two fleets there
be,
And one sails over the sun-lit waves
And one lies under the sombre sea."
So a little while and he who sings
Shall hum no more his songs to thea ;
So they who watch his sun-lit winds
Shall hear, perchance, when they cannot
see
The lis which sing, "Two fleets there be,
And one sails over the sun-lit waves.
And ones lies under the sombre sea."
A PASSING CliOUD.
"Val, will you tate my advice?"
"It depends on whether it suits
my fancy, dear. Did you ever know
any one to take advice otherwise?"
Lady March mont laughed.
"I am afraid mine will hardly do
in this instance. I would suggest
that you take & book and read, as
the 6ame time would pans much
quicker if you did not study the
clock every five minutes. There is
one on the table that could not fail
to interest you : it is the story of the
pretty fair maid who suffered all the
'pangs, the agonies, the doubts' of
true love, which did not, like yours,
run smooth."
"I ehould probably throw it to the
other end of the room after five
minutes."
"And to think," said Lady March
mont, meditatively, "to think that
six months ago you did not know
this hero who is now making such
havoc in your peace of mind."
alene rose impatiently irom ner
sv&t, and walked across to the win-
dtrw, a frown ruining the serenity oi
hr white forehead, and a vexed
ljxk in her pretty gray eyes.
6he was a tall, slender girl, with
more claims to beauty than are ac
corded from the mere possession of
regular features and a faultless com
plexion, with good features inter
esting and attractive.
Val's chief charm lay in her en
tire unconsciousness of self, and the
animated play of her mobile, sensitive-face
in which, as in her clear
pray eyes, was reflected every emo
tion of her sympathetic nature. She
was a girl who from impulse might
probably act hastily or thoughtless
ly, but "who would be only too
ready to own her error if once con
vinced of it; a rare virtue indeed,
for surely the hardest of all conces
sions is that which avows, "I was
wrong.
Val's abrupt movement caused
Lady Marchmont to look up inquir
ingly, and she divined the cause of
her displeasure. The young lady
had certain peculiar notions of her
own, and did not like being joked
about her love and her lover ; espec
ially before a third person. Ere
Lady Marchmont could however
atone for her indiscretion, another
lady present looked up from her work
and said quietly :
"Is it not wonderful how willing
... i
we women are to trusi our nappi-
ness and our future in the hands of
men whom, for the most part, we
know little?"
The speaker was a slight, fair wo
man, whose age would be difficult
to guess.
She was one of those persons
whom one would at first declare to
be quite unattractive, and shortly
discover that they possess a strange
fascination. hether it was her pe
culiarly clear, low toned voice or a
certain air of quiet self-possession
which nothing 6eemed to ruffle, it
was undeniable that Mrs. Maitland
had had her share of admirers, and
in this her third year of widowhood
was said to have received mere than
one offer to change her name and
her apparently not inconsolable
state.
Val glanced at her with a slightly
contemptuous look in her eyes.
"Your remark has no significance
for me, Mrs. Maitland, for I know
Captain Dalrymple thoroughly," she
said, with a happy confidence in her
tone.
A slight smile played for a mo
ment around Mrs. Maitland's thin
lips and she dropped her eyes again
over her work.
"Oh, you think you do," she an
swered in her quiet tones, which
somehow or other generally had the
effect of irritating Val, "which does
as well nay, better, for few of us
would profit by an intimate knowl
edge of the lives of most men."
"The life of every honorable man
is the same," returned Val, indig
nanj.lv. "Your experience of the
other'sex must have been unfortun
ate Mrs. Maitland ?"
There was a slieht accession of
color in the widow's usual passive
cheek as she replied in a somewhat
sarcastic tone :
"I admire, if I do not emulate,
your charming confidence. Miss
Charteris. I hope you may never
have cause to regret it, but I think
when yen are a few yean older you
will acknowledge that men are all
alike, and that self is the guiding
star of their existence,"
'-I refuse to believe it," aaid VaL
mi
ESTABLISHED, 1827.
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY.
"You are welcome w your opinion
Mrs. Maitland : leave me to the en
joyment ' of mine. ' There are bad
alike in both sexes, but what does
it matter if there are worthless men.
when the one m whom one trusts
and believes is all he should be?"
And with this Val turned her back
on her antagonist, and dropping in
to an easy chair, gave herself up to
a mental revision of the virtues of
her chevalier sans peur et sans re-
proche.
What 8weet smiles circled her
lips, what a happy light shown in
her eyes as 6he lived over agaia the
brief period of wooing, when the old
story, that is ever so new in the tell
ing, was whispered into her willing
ears.
Oh, bright time of youth and love
that comes but once to all, that pass
es all too quickly, but which in af
ter years has still the power to kin
die a name in our worn out, weary
hearts I
"Val." said Lady Marchmont,
breaking into the reverie, as she bent
over and spoke in a low tone,
"where are your thoughts? I hear
the dog cart going round to the front
door."
il brougnt nerseit baclc Irom a
delightful past to a still more de
lightful present, and sat up in an
expectant attitude with sparkling
eves and hushed cneelta.
In a few minutes the door was
flung open and Captain Dalrymple
was announced.
He was a tall soldierly-looking
man, with a grave, serious face, and
dark, earnest eyes, which, when he
smiled, softened and lit up in a won
derfully attractive manner.
In the presence of the two ladies
Valerie's greeting with him was nec
essarily restrained, a silent, but ex
pressive pressure of the hands, and
Captain Dalrymple turned to Lady
Marchmont:
I have to thanki you for your
great kindness in extending to me
your invitation to u.
"I am too delighted to see tou "
answered Lady Marchmont heartily,
and for the rest, you know val
would not have consented to come if
you bad not also lavored us wun
your company."
As she spoke sbe tali turned to
ward Mrs. Maitland with the inten
tion of introducing her, when to
Val's astonishment, that lady came
forward, holding out her hand, as
she said with her most fascinating
smile:
"There's no need for an introduc
tion. Lady Marchmont; Captain
DalrvmDle and I are old friends."
Val turned her gaze to her lovef's
face, and saw there au expression
that she could not exactly fathom.
Was it surprise, annoyance or embar
rassment? He seemed for a mo
ment somewhat at a loss for a Te
p'y- ...
I did not expect to meet you,"
he said at length.
"The unexpected always happens,
;ou know," replied Mrs. Maitknd,
aughing.
What did it mean ? Val asked
herself. That they should be ac
quainted with each other was not
wonderful, but wiy had Mrs. Mait
land been silent on the point toward
her, and above all, why should her
presence apparently disconcert Ver
non in some way ?
She had no time to ponder further
on the subject, for the next moment
Captain Dalrymple turned to her
with his attractive smile, under the
influence of which Val's disquietude
melted instantly.
How absurd to worry about such
a thing, when of course at the first
opportunity Vernon would explain
it all ! This thought revived her
spirits, and when a few moments la
ter the party was swelled by some
other guests staying at the Hall, she
was the gavest of the gay, enjoying
delightful little asides with Captain
Dalrymple, which enabled her total
ly to forget the existence of Mrs.
Maitland.
"Meet me in the drawing room be
fore any one is down," she whisper
ed to him as they separated to dress
for dinner.
"All right, darling," he replied, as
he smiled down on her with those
eloquent dark eyes that had won her
heart's allegiance.
Captain Dalrymple performed his
toilet in a very short space of time,
and repaired at once to the drawing
Doru, there to await al. He wan
dered into the conservatory and
paced about restlessly. One of the
glass doors opening close by him
caused him to turn quickly with a
smile of welcome on his lips, when
to his utter surprise he found him
eelf confronted by Mrs. Maitland.
She came quickly forward with
the quiet gliding walk which was
peculiar to her, but her habitual
self possess ion seemed strangely ruf
fled? "I must apologize for thus intrud
ing on ycu," she said, "but there is
something I wi.h particularly to ask
you."
"Indeed?" returned Captain Dal
rymple. His voice had taken the
coldest intonation, his face wore its
gravest aspect.
"Don't look at me like that, Vern
on, as though my presence were so
utterly distasteful to you," she went

or feigned he could not determine.
I shall not detain yoa long. . What
I want to ask ef yoa is that you will

took place between us a year ago."
"Do you think it likely, Mrs. Mait
land, I should mention the sub
ject?" ' .
"Not intentionally, perhaps, but
these things come out sometimes
unawares, and I could not bear to be
subjected to Miss Charteris' ridicule
and scorn."
"You need, I assure you, have no
fear. I shall be silent on that score."
"You will give me your sacred
promise to that effect, will you
not?" she said, eagerly.

Maitland, but since my simple as

quite willing to pledge you my
word." : A

servatory, with his back turned that
way, did not see or hear her. Not
so with Mrs. Maitland. True, she
did not glance in that direction, but
she knew perfectly well who had en
tered.
She dropped her voice, but ad
vanced a few steps uearer to him.
"I cannot thank yeu sufficiently,"
she said, looking at him most elo
quently, "you do not know what a
weight you have lifted from my
mind."
As she spoke she took both his
hands in hers, and giving them
tender pressure turned and disap
peared through the door by which
she had entered, lea vine Captain
Dalrymple gazing after her with
very perplexed countenance.
V bat is the meaning of this, he
pondered. "I never could lathom
that woman. How unfortunate she
should be here now.!"
Ere he turned to re-enter the
drawing room, Val, who stood at the
open door motionless during these
few minutes, slowly drew it after
her, and crept up stairs again, with a
strange chill at her heart.
Mrs. Maitland likewise hastened
to regain her room.
"How well I calculated," she mur
mured to herself, a triumphant light
shining in ber cold, blue eyes ; "that
was a good move ot mine : 1 knew
she would want some explanation
with her lover relative to our meet
ing ; she will be still more anxious
for it now, and he will refuse to
give it, for he has promised, and
Vernon Dalrymple never goes back
from his word. How I hate that girl
with her confidence and pride in his
ove. Let us see 11 her trust of which
she boasts will stand her now in
good stead. Who knows but what
may win him yet? At any rate, I
shall make her sufler."
Meanwhile Vernon, as yet in hap
py ignorance of the trouble fate was
preparing for him, had given up all
hope of bis tete-a-tete with Val, as
one after anether the guests assem
bled in the drawing room, she onlv
making her appearance a few min
utes before dinner was announced.
At the first touch of her fingtra on
his arm as they went in to dinner he
felt that something was wrong. He
glanced at her earnestly, but her
face was averted.
"What made you forget your ap
pointment with me, dear?" he asked
in low tones as they seated them
selves at the table.
"I did not forget," answered Val,
scorning to make an excuse.
"No?" in some surprise. "I sup
pose something detained you, then.
will forgive you this time, but I
don't know that I shall be so lenient
aain," and he smiled tenderly down
on he.
To his dismay it won no respbnse.
Val had not yet recovered from
the unpleasant shock her feelings
had received, but she was too angry,
too puzzled to clearly define her
thoughts ; she was chiefly conscious
of an intense hatred and jealousy of
Mrs. Maitland. 1. was scarcely won
derful that she should be silent and
abstracted during dinner, but the
party was too large and too anima
ted for this to be noticed save by two
of its members.
"Dalrymple," said Sir Harry
Marchmont, claiming that gentle
man's attention, "I was introduced
to-day to a brother of yours. Did
you know he was in these parts ?"
"My brother Hubert, I suppose?
I remember now his telling me he
was going to stay with some friends
of his, the Sinclairs, but I did not
know their place was near here."
"Only halt an hour's drive," re
turned Sir Harry. "He's a confound
edly handsome fellow I should say
a great favorite with the fair sex. I
asked him over to breakfast to-morrow
and to spend the day. He teld
me he had not yet made the ac
quaintance of his future sister-in-law."
"No, to be sure. Hubert is the
only one of us you do not know,"
said Vernon, turning to Val. "I
think you. will like him. He's an
awfully good natured fellew, a little
spoiled, perhaps, but, according to
Sir Harrv, that is hardly to be won
dered at."
Val's face, however, plainbr ex
pressed entire indifference to Hubert
Dalrymple's merits or demerits.
When the gentlemen returned to
the drawing room Dalrymple made
his way at once to V ai, who was sit
ting somewhat apart, and, bending
over her, said in a low tone :
"What is amiss with vou, dear?
You do not seem yourself this even
ing."
It is not likely, V ai thought, that
she should be herself, when she had
seen that creature, as she inwardly
designated Mrs. Maitland, standing
by his side, holding his bands, and
making eyes at him positively, as
though she had the right to do ee.
She could bear it no longer, she
must have an explanation an once,
she resolved.
"Come out on the terrace," she
said, rising impetuously. "1 want to
speak to you."
He followed her obediently, and
when they were beyond sight or
hearing of any one, said gently:
"Well, what is troubling you,
dear?"
"What is there between you and
Mrs. Maitland?" asked Val, fixing
her clear glance on him, as she ab
ruptly plunged "in medias res."
Captain Dalrymple regarded her
in unfeigned astonishment:
"What is there between Mrs. Mait
land and me?" he repeated slowly.
"My dear Val, I don't understand
you."
"And I don't understand you,"
hotly responded the young lady.
"You cannot deny, Vernon, that
when you met Mrs. Maitland yoa
looked very, very taken aback."
"I have no wish to deny anything,
Val," he answered, "it is true I was
somewhat surprised to see Mrs. Mait
land." "But why should you be more
surprised to see her than any other
acquaintance?"
"My dear Val," he said, half play
fully, uyou are surely not going to
quarrel with me on account of Mrs.
Maitland. I did not think you were
given to jealousy."
"Jealousy," repeated Val, giving
her disturbed feelings full Tent "I
have a right to be jealooa, I think,
eraM
when I see another woman, whom
did not even know to be acquainted
with you, holding an interview with
you of apparently a most intimate
nature."
So here was the explanation of
Val's conduct Dalrymple looked
what he felt thoroughly aghast
"I see," he said, after a moment's
pause, "that you have more cause
for annoyance than I imagined. If
I cannot give you a very full expla
nation of what I am aware must
seem 6trange in your eyes, I am sure
your confidence in me will enable
you to accept without hesitation
what I am going to say. I have
known Mrs. Maitland for years, and
she wished to speak to me alone on
a matter that conerns herself."
"And it was necessary to the com
munication that she should hold
your hands ?" asked Val, sarcastic
ally. Dalrymple looked at ber with his
se5rching eyes.
"I see what is in your mind, al,
he answered quietly, "but 1 can
hardly believe thatyoucan mistrust
me thus, that vou can wrong your
self and insult me by 8Uch suspic
ions. Were I free to do so I would
willingly explain all, but unfortun
ately 1 am not."
"Jiecause you have promised her
not to do so, 1 suppose returned
Val, her eyes flashing : "and a prom
ise to her is to rank before consider
ation of my feelings. After what I
witnessed this evening l have a
right to demand a full explanation,
and I will accept that or none.
Saying this, she reared her head
with the dignitv of a queen, and lelt
Captain Dalrymple alone to ponder
over the unforseen dilemma in which
he found himself placed.
The nubh of anger still lingered
on Val's cheeks as she re-entered the
room, and Mrs. Maitland noticing
it with her watchful eyes, smiled
maliciously as she said to herself;
I score the first points in the
game.
V al awoke the next morning with
a dull aching pain at the heart, the
cause of which she onlv too soon re
membered.
Of trouble of any kind she had
hitherto had no experience, and she
felt quite overwhelmed at the dreary
prospect oefore hershould shecontin
ue he rquarrel with Vernon. Why not
put an end to it, she asked berseli,
and trust to him, as she had been so
ready to declare she could do under
any circumstances.
Then the thought that he had a
secret with Mrs. Maitland, which
was unshared by her, obtruded itself
and she grew obdurate again.
She remained in her room until
summoned by the breakfast bell,
and then slipped into a place at the
table which hid her from Vernon's
sight
Hubert Dalrymple was one of the
party. He was certainly very hand
some, with dark eyes, which wore a
languid, sleepy look in them very
well suited to his style.
For all that he was observant, and
could see as much with his half
closed eyes as most people with
theirs wide open, and he had not
been many minutes at the table ere
he perceived something was serious
ly wrong between his brother and his
betrothed.
Breakfast over he approached Val
and said with a smile wonderfully
like Vernon's :
"Come for a stroll with me. will
you? As we are soon to be related,
it is only natural I should wish to
be better acquainted with you."
Val was fain to consent She was
only too anxious to escape from Ver
non's presence; the misery of being
with him and yet estranged from
him was more than she could
bear.
After walking for'awhile, Hubert
making vain attempts to amuse Val
with his light talk, they seated them
selves on a shady bench, the former
said without further preface :
"What is there wrong with you
and Vernon ?"
Val flushed crimson.
"I don't understand you."
"Don't you ?" answered Hubert in
his lazy tones. "I should have
thought my meaning pretty clear.
I am not a very clever lellow, Miss
Charteris, but it don't require very
bright wits to discover there was
something amiss."
Val made no rejoinder, in truth
she was experiencing some difficulty
in keeping from tears.
"I think it such a pity for people
to fall out about trifles," proceeded
Hubert, "for knowing Vernon as I
do, I can't believe he can have given
you any real cause for complaint
There's "not a better fellow breathing
than he. I, as his brother, ought to
be able to give an opinion on the
subject"
Still Val sat silent; and felt half
inclined to be angry with this offi
cious young man for his interference
in her private affairs, but somehow,
in spite of all, it was so sweet to
hear Vernon praised.
"You won't be offended with me,
I hope, if I tell you you are very
lucky to have won his love," contin
ued Mr. Dalrymple, in no way dis
composed at having all the talk to
himself. "Vernon's not like me, you
know. I can't help spooning every
pretty girl I come across, but with
him, you are the first woman he has
ever loved or spoken to of love."
Val turned to him eagerly.
"Are you sure quite sure?"
Mr. Dalrymple laid his handsome
head back against the tree and sur
veyed her from under his half clos
ed lids with an expression of amuse
ment '"I think I see light at last," he
mused ; "the little girl is jealous I
fancy 1 know of whom."
' "Quite sure," he said aloud ; "but
that has not prevented many wo
men being in love with him. There's
a certain lady, not a dozen miles
from here, who tried hard to win
him."
"Do you mean Mrs. Maitland?"
asked VaL in a low, hurried tone.
"What makes you guess that ?"
"Because oh, - beet. use I have
been very unhappy through her,"
said Val, clasping her hands togeth
er with a pathetic little gesture, her
gray eyes full of tears.

Hubert, tenderly, and to Val's sur

As she concluded she was some

"How deep the little widow is,"
he said : "but I see her game. She I
thought to make a quarrel between

you really deserve to know the truth

Listen to me. A year ago, Mrs,
Maitland, reversing the general or
der of things, made an offer to Ver
non of her hand, heart and very am

"Impossible !" ejaculated Val.
"Not impossible unusual, if you
like," answered Hubert, dryly. "We
have known her for years, and she
was always awfully sweet on Vernon
When she became her own mistress
again, she began running after him
ill the old fashion, and last year
we were all staying together at some
house she spoke out pretty plain
ly."
"How ever did you know?" asked
Val.
"Because I by chance, interrupted
the interesting tete-a-tete, and guess

Vernon with it afterward he could

How can I thank you," she said.

so miserable, I did not know what

ing. "I am giad to be able to return

vou think vou had better make your
peace with Vernon, or you will have
a certain fair lady carrying tales to
him about the violent flirtation we
are indulging in."
A few minutes later Vernon, sit
ting alone in the library, apparently
engaged in writing letters, but with
a preoccupied air that boded Jill for
his correspondence, felt two soft arms
steal about his neck, and Val's sweet
voice said in his ear :
"Can you ever forgive me, dear,
for being such a horrid, suspicious
wretch? I was so wrong, so very
wrong, but I punished myself more
than any one." . .
Vernon's face brightened as he
drew her tenderly to him.
"You have made'up your mind to
trust me in spite of appearances,
Val ?" he said.
She hid his glowing face on her
shoulder.
"I must tell you all," she whisper
ed, "and don't despise me very
much, dear." '
And she proceeded to recount her
conversation with Hubert
"Tout comprendre, v'est fout par

slight smile; "but, there, I won't
teaue you, dear. It was hardly sur
prising you were vexed and wanted
to know all, and I think I need not
ask you to keep silent on the score
of what you have heard."
"I promise," said Val, feeling in
her newly recovered happiness that
she could pardon Mrs. Maitland all
her misdoings, since it was love for
Vernon which had promoted her to
them.
What Tripe Is.
Occasionally you see a man order
ing tripe at a hotel, but he always
looks hard, as though he hated him
self and everybody else. He tries
to look as though he enjoyed it but
he does not Tripe is indigestible,
and looks like an India-rubber
apron for a child to sit on. When it
is picked U iooks use oiriy ciouies
put to soak, and when it is cooking
it looks as though the cook was boil
ing a dish cloth. On the table it
looks like glue, and tastes like a
piece of oil silk umbrella cover. A
stomach that ia not lined with cor
rugated iron would be turned wrong
side out by the smell of tripe. A
man eating tripe at a hotel table
looks like an Arctic explorer dining
on his boots or chewing pieces of
frozen raw dog. You cannot look at
a man eating tripe but he will blush
and look as though he wanted to
apologize and convince you he is
taking it to tone up nis system, a
woman never eats tripe. There is not
money enough in the world to hire
a woman to take a corner of a shefct
of tripe in her teeth and try to pull
off a piece. Those who eat tripe are
men who have had their stomachs
play mean tricks on them, and they
eat tripe to get even with their stom
achs, and then the go and take a
Turkish bath to sweat it out of their
system. Tripe ia a superstition
handed down from a former genera
tion of butchers, who sold all the
meat and kept the tripe for them
selves and the dogs, but dogs of the
present day will not eat tripe. You
throw a piece ot tripe down in front
of a doe. and see if he does not put
hia tail between his legs and go off
and hate you. Tripe may have a
value, but it is not as food. It may
be good to fill into a burglar proof
safe with the cement and chilled
steel, or it might answer to use as a
breast plate in time of war, or it
would be good to use for bumpers
between care, or it would make a
good face for the weight of a pile
driver, but when you come to smug
gle it into your stomach you do
wrons. Trine I Bah ! A piece of
Turkish towel cooked in axle grease
would be a pie compared with tripe.

Dare They bo It?
There are signs of great agitation
among the Democrats over the Tariff
problem. They want to come out
openly for Free Trade, but many of
them are afraid of the consequences
The attitude of their representatives
in Congress at the close of the ses
sion lelt the party squarely commit
ted against I'rotetrtion, and the both
ersoine proolem now is whether to
stand by that position or let the
question drop till after the Presiden
tial election. The hot heads of the
party are all in favor of reviving the
question as soon as Congress meets,
and of cutting down the tariff until
none is levied save for purposes of
revenue. The conservative portion
is opposed to this course, not be
cause they are at heart against it
but because they are afraid it will
ruin their chances of Buccess in
1SS4. The whole question, there
fore, is whether or not the party will
have the courage of its bad convic
tions. ere it any other party than
the Democracy we should feel no
doubt in predicting that ordinary
political sagacity would prevail and
they would leave the subject severe
ly alone till after 18S4; but judging
their capacity for blundering by past
achievements,' we are inclined to
think they will take the question np
promptly upon the reassembling of
Congress.
The strongest Democratic journals
are urging this course now. They
are attacking Mr. Kandall as a can
didate for Speaker on the ground
that he is too much of a Protection
ist to properly represent the Tariff
position of his party. They claim
that when he was Speaker before, he
so constructed the committees that
the Free Traders were in the minor
ity, and could not accomplish any
thing. This is a true indictment.
Mr. Kandall bas been just that kind
of a man. He is a Protectionist in
Pennsylvania and a Free Trailer in
Washington, so far as hia speeches
go. iut laiK at asuingion uoe9
him no harm at home so long as his
acts are in accordance with his home
position. His Free Trade utterances
are useiui in getting iiini votes ior

them but his rroiecuonisis acta
which gives him votes enough in
Pennsylvania to make him a Con-
gresman. n ne is elected cpeaaer
again he will be very likely to pur
sue his former course, and he is so
well known now that if he is elect
ed at all it will be with that under
standing. The Free Trade hostility
to him, therefore, is easily under
stood, and if it is strong enough to
defeat him we shall have a Free
Trade session of Congress, with all
the uncertainty and disaster which
the term implies.
It is perfectly sate to predict the
political effect of such a -Congress.

not be a fighting chance left for the

Their talk is, it possible, wilder

the course for the Democrats to fol
