u is pity, however. that the scoundrel

This Is a case which touches the hearts
Of the people like that Of the Mahoney

Tbs struggle Of a woman 10 avoid the
disgrace brought upon her by the I'M
feeling scoundrel who refuses TO share
the responsibility for their mutual guilt:
worse even than that, refuses to do what
he can do to palliate the stings Of her
whipping conscience, the consequences Of
an incapable shame worse still than that,
who points his finger in b.uSal scorn az
the poor deceived woman and cruelty as
sists in exposing her to public disgrace

mimic pathos on the stage, in prose BY
Scot ana Goldsmith, or in the profound

This is one Of the unjust laws OF

harsher than the laws. but the man who
does not deserve the name Of man,

This tariff tax on the American con
sumner has not been removed, but it has
taken new form.
Heretofore the tax was added 90 the
price OF German velveteens. and still
they we're within reach OF the American
consumer. In that case the tax paid bg
the American consumer was collected by
the Government.
Then Mr. Mckinley stepped in and ia.
creased the tax, will the result that the
price advanced from 40 cents to 52l
cents
This increase in the price led, as II
usually does, TO the substitution of q
cheaper grade Of goods, and now, as we
learn from the Chicago Tribune. we buv

The Finance Committee of the Sen

those velvets in order 10 foster and pro.

industry in question does not appear to
have prospered much during the year OF
fostering care it has enjoyed American

There is mill down East which manu-

The various scandals and defeats 1t has
encountered would have killed any other
political Organization the world ever
knsw. Mr.. Carson suggests one reason
why it exists in Ohio Ia spite of its
local sins and its national scandals; its
splendid organization. The a5lest best
and brightest Republicans in Ohio, John
Sherman and Benjamin Butterworth and
their followers, respectively condemned
the Mckinley bill ana gave warning
against IL
Butterworth would stultify himself
beyond manly recognition II he were TO
advocate the election Of Mckinley as a
vindicatlon Of tho Mckinley bill, which
though condemning he voted for under
protest. That WAS as much OF sacrifice
as be could make under the party whip
applied by the merclless Speaker Reed.
Sherman voted for It with disin-
genuous warning that the pro teetionists
we're going too far and that the people
would not submit to higher taxation
which accomplished nothing good, but
fostered trusts
