It isa sign of returning prosperity that tbe men employed us heaters, who earned 57 per day in 1892, when the Chicago Herald assured them that they wcra -'Starving workmen, osv will receive $-1 S4. We shall not emulate tbe dishon- st folly of our contemporary by pro- estiog that men who earn $4 34 a day are In danger o( serving, but we will emind our wage earning friends that we assured them that when, acting on he Herald's advice, they went in for awlplng the tariff 1 they were awlplnp good slice off their wages. Of ourue the stores can not sell so much heaters who earn $4,31 a day aa to hose wbo earn fG.67.

But the Herald epeaka of the reduced rate as 'We have great sympathy with tbe dasg of workmen who, as unBkilled aborera, earned $1. SO in 1892 and early in 1893, but who now will have live on $1. Tho first sum insured a ruffal living', the latter hints at prl- -ation where tho family is large. We have sympathy, also, with those who earned $3 per day before they read and believed the specious theories of ree traders, but who must bo contented with $2 now that an approach to ree trade is made. Three dollars a day means comfort, two means rigid economy.

Still the Herald assures us hat all this is "satisfactory." 'Wo rejoice exceedingly In even a partial rehabilitation of trade. Wo ire glad that 3,000 men are rescued rom idleness, though at reduced rates of pay. But we will not speak ser- ously of this amendment of condition as a 'return to It is, at best, a mitigation of adversity.

Mean while, wo rejoice in the present mitigation'of adversity." THE residents of the county who live along the Loganeport and Metea, turnpike will hold a meeting Saturday, the 14th, to arrange to free that road. The object is a good one as these are now paying taxes to maintain the other roads and toll on their own road, The meeting should be well attended. Tho meeting wll be held at Metea, at 7 p. m.

lOOPVItlllll'I 1 IS more than two years since Sirs. Humphrey Ward's hist novel, "The History David Grieve." appeared, and it is six years' since the pub- i licatiun of ner "Kobert Els- i more." The re- dissensions aroused bylr-IIobertEls- nere" are still fresh in the memory. Mrs. Ward's now novel, vill be published on April U. It is the of an English girl's lite between school and marriage, and her tntcl- oetnal growth to the full mental j.iwurs of a modern woman, but the icvel itself is a remarkable portrayal country and city conditions in Kng- and as they exist to-day.

The daughter of a younger son of an old country family, Marcella is kept it school while her parents travel ibroad. Then on leaving school she fulls in with a group of socialists and gains opinions as to social and philanthropic questions on which the incidents of the novel hinge. To quote: any rate, when the moment came for her to leave Miss I'embevton icr mother wrote from abroad that, as Marcella had of late shown decided iptitude both for music and painting, il would be well that she should cultivate both gifts for awhile more seriously thau would be possible at home. Mrs. Boyce had made inquiries and was quite willing that her daughter should go for a time to a lady whoso rectcd.

Thus she becomes engaged to tho heir of a noble house, and it is the eo'irse of this engagement, the estrangement and final reconciliation which make up the story of the book. Marcella does not abandon her theories, and it is the refusal of her lover to interfere with the sentence of a poacher who has murdered cue of his gamekeepers, and in whom Marcella is interested, which impels her to break her engagement. The incidents leading up to the trial and conviction of tlic poacher are poWrfully depicted, and the squalor of English village life and the evils of the Ktigliih gamc- preserving- system arc described in detail. Mivreelhi passes the night before ex- ecution with the wife and dying child of the condemned poacher. This is one of the most dramatic passages in the book.

A cold lifrht was streaming through the curtains, the fire was still plowing; but her limbs were stiff and chilled under her shawl. She sprang up, horror descending 1 on her.

"One of her girl friends and fellow students had two brothers in London, both at work at South Kensington, and living not far from their sister. The three were orphans, They sprang from a nervous, artistic stock, and Marcella had never before omc near anyone capable of crowding so much living into the twenty-four hours.

The two brothers, both of them skillful and artistic designers in different lines, and hard at work all day, were members of a risinff socialist society, and spent their evenings almost entirely on various forms of social effort and socialist propaganda. They seemed to Marcella's young- eyes absolutely sincere and quite unworldly. They lived as workmen; and both the luxuries and the charities of the rich were equally odious to them. That there could be any 'right 1 in private property or private wealth had become incredible to them; their minds were full of lurid images or resentments drawn from tho existing state in London; and though one was humorous and handsome, tho other, short, sickly 'and pedantic, neither could discuss the socialist ideal without passion, nor hear it attacked without anger. And in milder measure their sister, who possessed more artistic gift than either of them, was like unto them.

But Marcella's father unexpectedly inojceeds to the family estate; and she finds herself, with her newly-formed a member of the claw dart which the D-wement in dl- "ten minutes to eightl "For tho first time the girl felt nerve an.1 resolution fail her.

she drew the curtains back, as though inspiration might come with the lip-lit. The vain clouds trailed across the common; water dripped heavily from the thatch of the cottage; and a few birds twittered from some bedraggled larches at the edge of tho common. Far away, beyond and beneath those woods to the right, Widrington lay on tlic plain, with that high-walled stone building at its edge. She saw everything it now must be happening as plainly as though she was bodily present tho last by the passing seconds she turned back at last to wake that poor sleeper behind her. But something diverted her.
