den Actions of Ills liancee.
George was bashful lover. He scarce
" dared 10 touch his lady's hand. He
loved her well and she was worthy of his
affection, for she was modest, intelligent,
sweet and lovablo; but like all good wo-
men, she yearued for the respectful ca
resses that are evidences Of n pure affcc-
ton. She, however, yearned in vain
George worshipcd her. He might kiss
the hem of her garment, but to kiss her
lips or cheek-the very audacity of the
thought made him tremble.

Suddenly she moved slightly away

The address Of Ex-Governor Robinson be-
fore the Republican State convention of
Massachusetts was so sound and able that
1t will probably be found the most effective
campaign document that eau be used in the
approaching contest Straightforwardnes
distinguishes it. and If there be any detail of
policy on which Republicans are not fully
united, Governor Robinson did not shirk
plain expression Of opinion. His treatment of
the surplus problem is an example in point
TO revise the existing laws so as to effect
proper decrease of the income to the treas
ury is an immediate duty. The demand is
frequent that the war taxes be removed. No
taxes are so distinctively war exactions as
the internal revenue. Repeal the whole sys-
tenn and you stop the annual inflow of about
$125, 100000" Gov. Robinson regards this
as the alternative If the system of protection
is to be saved to the country. The Demo-
cratic cry against 1t is manifestly hypociiti-
cal. as is shown by all the previous utter
ances Of the party leaders from Jefferson,
who called an internal tax an internal tax,
to Randall; and is evidently raised to en-
barrass the Republicans in dealing with the
tariff problem. The extreme wing of the
temperance party also iayors the repeal of at
least so much of the internal tax as is as
sessed upon spirits, because it regards such
tax as in the nature of license of an evil.
Within the Republican party the opposition
comes from disinterested temperance men
who dislike the idea Of making "whiskey
free" 1t by no means foliows, however,
that the removal Of the inter revenue tax
would necessarily operate badly for the
cause of temperance; since by local imposts
the revenue that now goes to the govern
ment could be diverted to the States When
Congress meets this question i'll probably
come up in connection with The tariff ques-
ton; and the influence of Massachusetts
will probably be largely in favor of the posi-
ton advanced by Governor Robinson.

Governor Seay OF Alabama seems to be as
earnest about breaking up duelling as the
Governor of Mississippi was about punish
ing John l.. Sullivan. The two prominent
Georgia men, Calhoun and Williamson, who
fought the duel just over the Alabama line,
have been surrendered to the governor of
the latter State, and will be tried. The PEN
atty for their offence. according to the Ala
bama law. is not less than one nor more than
ten years In the penitentiary. II seems al
most too much to expect Of an Alabama jury
that they will convict these two representa-
tives of the "chivalry;" but there is grand
opportunity for that jury to distinguish it.
SELF An example Of this sort would have a
most salutary effect on Southern society I;
and there are hundreds of Southern gentle
men who would feel relieved If such an ex-
ample should be made. What curious and
troublesome anomaly the code is in the
South is shown by a remark said to have
been made recently by prominent man in
Atlanta. ''This matter of duelling botheIs
me-" said he. 1.-THE more think about it
the more puzzling it looks. II man insults
me and / fail to challenge him, crowd of
people will call me coward. If SEND
challenge and it Is declined, then they call
the other fellow a coward. On the other
hand, If the challenge is accepted, the same
people will call us fools. Suppose we go out
of the State. and the officers arrest one or
both Of us? People then say that we ex-
pected to be caught, and were only after
little cheap notoriety. II we escape the Of
icers and fight without shedding blood,
these same takers raise the cry that it was a
fixed-up affair. II one Of us gets killed. the
people who drove us into the combat insist
that the survivor is murderer. and must be
punished to the full extent of the law"

Our Foreign Marine.

1t can hardly fail to deeply chagrin our
Democratic contemporaries who are in the
habit of going into fits when anybody sug-
gests government aid to our shipping en-
gagged in the foreign trade. to find so eminent
Democrat as the Hon. Arthur Sewall of
Bath, urging in letter over his own sigma
ture that our shipping needs aid; that such
aid must be generous and immediate; that
it must come from the government: and that
1t must be given openly and freely. There
is no mistaking Mr.. SewalPs position. These
are his words:
1 favor the payment by the national government
to the builders OF American ships exceeding
SO ton fer Wooden SAIL $40 lon for see
or iron sail and slow steam, $25 per ton for eel
or iron steam with speed not less than fourteen
knots, for period OF ten years. To the owners
of these vessels favor further payment of 20
cents per registered ton for every 1000 miles
sailed In the course of foreign trade--this pay
ment to be for the same period
But though Mr.. Sewall's opinions are not
sound from Democratic standpoint, and
will doubtless sadden his political breth-
rem, from business point of view they are
all right. Mr.. Sewall knows. as everybody
else who is familiar with shipping
knows, that the various nostrums pre-
Scribed by the Democracy for the revival OF
our foreign carrying trade, notably among
them the admission of foreign built ships to
an American register, are all humbugs.
They proceed upon the idea that the trouble
lies in the cost Of the ships, and If ships can
only be got cheaply. the trouble will be reme-
died. But that is only small portion of the
trouble. The great difficulty is in running
the ship after she is built at sufficiently
low cost to enable her to compete with for
elgn vessels. The great trouble with Ameri-
can Smps is that they have to pay higher for
their officers and crews and have to feed
tnem better than is the case with foreign
ships. This so enhances the cost of running
them that they cannot afford to take cargoes
at so low rates as foreign vessels and there
fore cannot compete with them. This difs.
Guilty must be surmounted In some wav he
fore there can be any reasonable expectation
Of the revival Of our foreign carrying trade.
Mr.. Sewall proposes to surmount 1t in the

plan may fail to do what he thinks it will.
1t may be that our people cannot be induced
to embark to any great extent in foreign
shipping But Mr.. Sewall's plan is the only
one that gives any promise of success.
None of the other schemes proposed touch
the root of the trouble, which is not the cost
of the ship. but the cost of running her.

under that law no exhibitor could bring over
