Tom murmured few incoherent
words and the uext thing happened was
that his arms were round her, and she

A Wonderful Lighthouse.

One OF the most wonderful lighthouses
in the world Is that at Minot's Ledge,
near Boston. Its history has been one of
romance. The greater part of its founda-
tion is under water at low tide. In 1917
n skeleton lighthouse of iron was erecte
there on iron piles placed IN holes drilled
into the rock. A furious hurricane burst
upon the coast in April, 1851, aud
anxious watchers from the Cohasset shore
thought that the structure had been car
ried away. But, as the sun sank, out
shone the hight across the storm-tossed
waters. At 10 L. NJ, the light was seel
for the last time. At one hour after
midnight the fog bell was heard above
the roaring of the breakers. At day
break the ocean was blank; the light
house was gone. Knowing that no help
could reach them, the keepers had lighted
their lamp rs warning 70 Others, and
their lives had gone out with it. Now
q granite tower occupies the spot. So
difficult was it to lay the foundation in
the surf that only thirty hours work
could be done during the first year, blt
the tower stands to-day as enduring IS
the ledge itseli--an isolated pile of stone
amid the waves, by the force OF which
il is swayed like tree in wind. During
the long winter mouths all communica-
tion with the land is shut OH. In sum
mer the occasional visitor il hoistel iuto
the lighthouse from hls boat by means OF
a chair, aud from time 10 time u skin Is
lowered by pulleys 10 convey one or
another of the five keepers to the shore.
The life tells ON them lrightfully, Sew,

they have gone insane, aud more than
one OF them has attempted suicide

Mr.. Charles J. Harrah, of the Mid
vale Steel Works of Philadelphia, has
written a letter d~enouncing the Nc
Kinley bill. He says if he could get
raw iron and other material free of
duty he could ship his m.nufactured
steel products to every part of the
world and compete successfully with
foreign manufacturers and drive
England out of the markets of the
world.
This is n peculiar statement. The
duty OH iron ore Csc. per ton and On
pig iron Sc per tom is just the same
under the Mckinley law as it was
under the laws of 1888, an just the
same as IL wa in the Hills bill.
Besides, materials imported to be
manufactured into articles for export
are practically free OF duty under the
Mckinley act.
But MI. Harrah goes on to say that
there Is a steel "trust" which fixes
prices to suit itself and BY the aid of
the Mckinley bill thrives at the ex-
pense of labor and of the people
generally. If that is SO, why arc steel
rails S1S ton lower in price than
they were ten wears ago, and other
steel products accordingly cheap! 1t

be the difference in cost between

The Ease lately brought in the Cir
cult court OF Henry county, Indiana
involving the validity of the scandal
lousy partisan gerrymander of the
state into legislative districts by the
Democratic legislatures of 1885 and
1891, ended in 4 decision declaring
both statutes unconstitutional on the
ground of inequalities in representa-
ton, because some districts have a
representation in excess, while others
have a much smaller one than they
are entitled to. In his decision Judge
Bundy used the following sound
language:
"The act is not to be declared i'll
valid unless it be clearly and plainly
in conflict with the constitution. On
the either hand, where it is clear that
the law violates a command of the
constitution no higher duty can be
vested in courts than TO SO declare.
The first section of the constitution Of
Indiana provides All elections shall
be free and equal How can an
election be equal with an unequal
aud unfair appoTtionment!'
The point has been clearly estab-
lished in some states that the courts
have full power to overthrow gerry
manders. 1t is to be hoped that
every iniquitous redistricting measure
Congressional or Legislative, will thus
lie rendered null, and Legislators then
be compelled to exercise justice to-
ward the people of all parties.

Connecticut must be on their guard.
The recent Democratic State con
vention at Hartford laid q trap for all
voters of that State who have an III
terest in the maintenance of the
tariff.
The Chicago Democratic Conven-
ton was given an opportunity to
adopt a tariff plank that had in it
some sympathy for American labor.
The plank proposed, but rejected,
held that in levying duties upon
articles of any kind produced in this
country. the difference between the
cost OF labor here and labor abroad,
when such a difference exists, fully
measures any possible benefits TO
labor" This rejected plank asserted
that "in making reduction in taxes il
i. not proposed TO %injure any domes-
tic industries, but rather 10 promote
their healthy growth:' and further it
recognized that "many industries
have come 10 rely upon legislation for
successful continuance"
This plank was Indignantly rejected
by two-thirds vote. The couvcr-
ton adopted a rabid, pro-British,
American labor-degrading, free-trade
plank, beginning, I'VE dcnOunce Re-
publican protection as a fraud, a rob-
berry of the great majority of the
great majority of the American peo-
pie" Ii continues, ave declare it to
be a fundamental principle of the
Democratic party that the Federal
government has no constitutional pow
err to enforce and collect tariff duties
except for the purpose for revenue
only"
Notwithstanding that the national
Democratic party thus proposes to
abolish the tariff in all its protective
features, and will do SO As soon
As given an opportunity, the Connecti-
cut Democrats hope TO hoodwink
thousands of voters in fhnt State de-
pendent for occupation and livelihood
on a protective tariff into voting the
Democratic ticket. These Democrats
disavow the plank on which MI.
Cleveland stands,-"all protection is
robbery"-and pretend to demand
that duties be levied with careful
regard for the interest OF our domestic
industries and for the just wages Of
American workingmcn.'
Could anything be more contcmpti-
BILE. This is an attempt TO catch the
votes of thousands of tobacco-grow-
ing farmers in the State, whose recent
prosperity under that clause of the
Mckinley act which advanced the
duty Oh Sumatra tobacco from 75
cents per pound TO So is a u Of
great congra,ulation. Editor Burr,
OF the Hartford Times, the Nestor of
Connecticut Democracy, is and al
ways has been a good deal of a pro-
teciionist. lie il was who forced this
two-taced tariff plank upon the Demo-
Cracy of his State.
Voters of Connecticut who favor
protection should remember that Mr..
Burr aud his fellow Democrats cannot
secure protection to them, even if
they were sincere. The national
Democracy is hungry for free trade:
end a vote for Grover Cleveland
:; long stew toward the wiping
ont of tariff duties on tobacco and
everything else.
