The account is evidently incomplete,
as no mention is made of any payment
to New York tailor for altering the
clothes so that they will do to wear in
this city. But the Post, neglecting this
item, thinks the account IAN object les
son" for the study of all those Who are
too good to wear American made
clothes, and wants every one VINO has
paid duties to send accurate details of
the sums and circumstances to the
newspapers.
The Mckinley law was not made for
dudes or even Mugwumps. Tariff leg
i5lation is devised for the benefit OF the
people OF these United States. AS en-
acted by the Fathers OF the country:
whereas, it is necessary for the sup
port OF the government, for the dis
charge OF the debt of the United States,
and the encouragement and protection
Of manufactures, that duties should be
levied on goods, wares and merchan-
dsse imported" So all Americans for
one hundred and two years have paid
luties on goods, wares and merchan-
disc imported, and by so doing they
have made this the great manufactur-
ing country of the world.
A minority have always kicked
against this, and though they have al
ways been beaten when they have
dared to make square issue, they have
been persistent in their efforts to have
the policy of the country changed.
This is due TO two causes. Some want
everything they buy cheap, without re-
gard to the prosperity or earnings of
their countrymen. They care nothing
for the man who grows the cotton or
wool, the operative who spins or weaves
it, the man or woman who sews the gar
ments, nor the fashionable tailor, so he
is in America, who makes profit on
the transaction, and the farmers, store
keepers, doctors and others who are
supported by the industry IN this
country. They are men who don't
want two blades of grass to grow where
only one grew before; they only want
one to grow, so long as they get it.
Others, newly rich or educated |
through the economies of laboring par
ents to a position beyond their deserts, |
or, again immigrants assisted from |
the want of the Door in free-trade |
countries, wish to kick down the lad
der that helped them up. They are
the men who demanded higher educa-
tion for themselves while they fought
against a free education bill as If they
feared that the poor whites of the south
aud the negroes might interfere with
their pursuits. EEvy, hatred and mall
Ice make them free-traders.
1t will be noticed that two rates OF
1utY are mentioned above, one ad va
orem and the other specific. II a
had ordered suit OF
'lothes weighing 20 pounds in London
or $40, and he could get about as good

the death chamber. Perhaps some OF
the water from the sponges, being su-
perheated from the continuation of the
electric current, ran down the sides OF
their faces and slightly scalded them,
but if so, saw no evidence of it. The
statements that the men were burned
are false"
There was no disturbance of any
kind. There was nothing revolving.
Any woman could have witnessed the
except from the knowledge that death
was present. They were dead the in
slant the current reached them. True,
when the second shock was given them
they became rigid again, but that did
not denote life. The result of appli-
cation of the electric current is to con-
tract. Dead horses have been made to
kick and dead frogs to jump by the ap-
pllcation of electricity. There were no
sounds, no odor of burning flesh
nothing whatever that would revolt
any spectator"
DR.. Daniels also spoke of one OF the
men praying and reaching the sound of
IS" when the shock came.
1T cut the syllable in two," he said;
mot another sound came from him.
look upon that as supreme test"
DR.. Daniels also said: Zone of the
men died with smile on his face. He
was smiling just before the current was
applied. When he was taken from the
chair the smile was still there, set on
his face. II there had been suffering
there would have been contortion.
Each OF the men had his mouth and
would have uttered sounds if sensibility
had not been destroyed at the first in
slant. Every spectator agreed that
there had been no pain. spoke to one

she was shattered, disabled, sunk in
the depth OF the waters she had
troubled.
Then came the arduous task of search
ing the submerged monster and saving
to the government the loss of her valu-
able machinery and the guns, which
cost thirty thousand dollars each.
There was also much personal property,
for the rescue of which stipulated sums
were paid. And it was for these petty
purposes that the bravo professional
diver nearly lost his life. To find a
seaman's trunk in q secluded state
room he was chambcrcd with horrible
death. entangled in the life line and air
hose, cropping vainly for an exit from
the ship. The movements of the diver
had set in motion boxes that were ooz,
ing with slime, and one of these slipped
into the man hole of the ship, through
which he had entered. and shut him off.
His biographcr says:
ut was deadly sport, that swing and
see-saw on the slippery rungs in the
miserable loneliness of the shrouded
cabin. 1t was no rush of air sending
life tingling in the blood made brilliant
with the carminc of oxygen, but the
dense mephitic sough of the thick wall
of water. He descended again and sat
on the floor to think"
That he wrought to good effect Is ev-
ident from the fact that he saved his
own life and also the ships property
The cabin of sunken vessel, no mat
ter how many windows are in it, is dark
as midnight, and every shadow or ray
of light that the diver admits with him
is exaggerated and misleading
This sense of abnormal conditions Is
heightened and intensified by the at
mosphcre. To drive nail under water
the driver must rely on his sense of
touch. If guided by sight he would
never hit the nail at all. although he
might see it as plain as day His aim
would be rs wide of the mark as that
of the average woman when she hits
her thumb.
1t is the same with sound. which is
not, however, intensified by the water,
but SO condensed and subdued that SUBJ
marine depths are known as the world
of silence" There is said to be a sweet,
nurmurous atmosphere which is sup
posed to be produced by species of
mollusli. The same sounds are heard
in the waters of the gulf of Mexico.
