As result of the triumph of protec. ton principles 1t is stated that fourteen blss:fdrnsces in tue Shensngo, Pa, Val ley, employing in the aggregate four teen hundred llborers, have increased the wages of their employees from ten cents to fifteen cents per day. or this the Cleveland Leader says; "This is an- other practical object lesson demonstrat- ing the confidence that manufacturers feel in future business prospects. now they are assured of a continuance of the protection policy during another Presi- dential administration. IL effectuslly knocks m the head the innuendoes and false assertions of free trade democrats, who predicted just the contrary should the republicans be successful. It will undoubtedly provoke the free traders into making some mean and spleDetic remarks about manufacturers and work IngmeD, but that will not be the first tune that both have been abused by the students of msxims only. The men whom this increase in daily pay benefits will indeed, be slow to forget the advantage of that theory of government which re- suits so favorsbly to them. The election of republican president on a protec- tive platform is already beginning to have that beneficent effect on manufsc turing business that republican writers a15 orstors asserted during the recent c anpaign it would have. So much for hsTing confidence in party thst hes been successful on great is- sues because it was in the right"

SENATOR BLACKBURN has evidently been worsted in his controversy with Judge R2cker of Colorado.

THE Engineering and Mining Journal in a lengthy and we'll written editorial. portrsys gloomy outlook for the Panama canal and predicts the speedy collapse of the "moribund concern" AL ready the liabilities amount to forty-two million dollars more then the entire ss- sets of the company. The treasury of the company is exhausted and is also its source of revenue. The totsl cost ot the canal to date. hss bosn four hun dred and twenty million dollars. The great bulk of this money has been con- tributed by the saning masses in France. many of whom must DOW pass theIr old age in poverty, their time earn ing having been swept into the great but foolish scheme of M. De Lesseps. Although the honor of France is psrtIsl- ly involved ID its completion there is stIll DO statesman in France SO foolish as to dare favor the responsibility. Nor 70 we, says the authority quoted, believe that there is sny combination of cap italists in Europe or n this country who would take the canal as it stands ss 8 gift, with the obligation of completing It even in its modified form, and for thls reason We do not look for any re- construction of the company and con- tinustion of the work.

 unfinished condition, ss 8 monument

lie Got the Hat.

A wager of silk hat once cost many
lives. 1t was in 1871 when Captain De-
catur Of the United States navy, com
manding the frigate United States met
Captain Garden Of the British navy, com
manding the Macedonia. 1t was just
prior to the war of 1912, and while talk
ing about the chances, Garden said to
Decatur:
"Ifyou and ever meet after hostilities
are declared I'll bet you silk hat that
the Macedonia will capture the United
States
"Ill bet you silk hat that you don't"
was the reply.
The two fngatCs met on October 25,
1872, and after a bloody fight the Eng
lish flag was lowered.
Decatur hastcned on board the prize
and Garden rendered his sword
"D-n your sword, Garden said De-
catur 81 bet you silk hat and as
we're long way from a halter, I'll take
the one you wear" The hat was given.

head was small, his hair dark, his
nose short and his face seemed guilt
less of beard, like an oldish boy.
He used to ride tall horse, and wore
q jockey cap and high yellow.topped
boots, and was always followed by his
black groom, Juba. Think the eccen-
trio Representative from Virginia at
tracted as much attention and remark
as he rode about Washington, as any
body in the city.
OF late years l have had but one
opportunity of attending a Congress
sional session-about two years ago.
But then / noticed one custom with
some of the speakers, that Of reading
speeches from manuscript, which in
the old time was almost entirely un-
usual. In the old days there were ex-
tempore speakers and attentive listen
ers. Full stenographic reports were
not common. In the latter days even
Senators will read for hours from
manuscript and nobody listens. They
know it will be in print, and
they can then read It if they
like at their leisure. A speech
read from manuscript notes must
be unusually good to attract hearers.
1t struck me as rather ludicrous the
last time i was in the Senate, to hear
a certain Western Senator pressing
away perfunctorily over his big
pages, with only about one-third of the
members in their places and out of
this third some half dozen pretend
ing to listen--the rest reading papers,
chatting or walking about.
Yet, doubtless, the country as well
as its representative have grown
wiser and better since those old days.
And if there was more rhetorical elo-
quence, there is now more Of the gen
uine eloquence of sound common
sense, as well as far more unanimity
in regard to the interests of the whole
country. Few can regret that the old
fetish of absolute State Sovereignty
has fallen forever into the dust, like
all the half-truths of its day and gen
