over the sea at the Craglevin, which had
settled little at the stern, and was roll
ing heavily. but she was still a nlagniii-
cent battle ship. with the red cross of
England floating ever her. lie could
not help the thought that if this motor
mystery should amount to nothing. there
was no reason why the Craglevin should
not be towed into port, and be made
ngain the grand war ship that she had
been.
Now the director gave the signal, and

ship. touched the button \ quick shock

gray cloud, half mile high. occupied
the place of the British ship.
The cloud rapidly settled down, cover
ing the water with a glittering scum
which spread far and wide. and which
had been the Craglevin.
The British captain stood for a moment
motionless, and then he picked up

Now he was convinced that the syndi-

DAMNABLE WORK.

EDITOR HERALD: The hatred of the
average Democratic politician for the
old Union soldier is too manifest, too
vicious, to be denied Though he
be crippled, sick, and infirm-these
things are as sweet norselS to roll
under the tongue Cleveland, COW
ard and skulker, sent a substitute
to the front while he drank beer in the
low brothels of Buffalo, and then
allowed his substitute to die in the
poorhouse, and appointed Hoke Smith
Secretary of the Interior, of which de
partment the Pension Bureau is a
part. Smith is son of rebel colo
mel, bitter, harsh, and full of animosi-
ty. His cowardly pension orders
have covered him with odium. Many
a noble, deserving, crippled boy in
blue has been pinched and beggared
by his meanness No harsher exam
pie of the brutal means and lies told
by Smith surpasses the case of c. c.
Kraible, of Winterset, Iowa. Every
Union veteran and all loyal citizens of
the country were shocked by the dis
honorable and reasonable action of
this rebel colonel's son in this matter
He sent an official notice to Mr.. krai-
BILE that 1T appears from medical ev-
idence on file in this Bureau that the
disability for which you were pension
ed has ceased to exist in pensionable
degree, and his name was stricken off
the roll. The fiendishness of the
rebels son i'll sending that wholly
false notice of suspension is plainly
proved by the fact that Kraible died
from the effects of the disease for
which he was pensioned, on April %.
1898, over six months before the Off
cial notice of his suspension was mail
ed from the Pension Bureau! No
medical evidence" of that character
is on file, or ever has been on file in
the Pension Bureau; yet, the rebel
colonel's son utilizes that positive
falsehood to wreak rebel vengeance
against disabled Union veterans, as
he has done in thousands of instances
during the past eight months. No
wonder the old soldiers pulverized
Democracy on the 9TH inst
As young man, l feel that an in
telligent public should see how low
and vicious old soldiers are being
treated, In the darkest days of dis
union and treason these men bore the
old flag to victory amid the blue Of
the heavens. Now they are iusulted
and beggared Has Justice hid her
face? Has patriotism become trea-
son? Have the old tattered and disa-
bled boys in blue no claim on our re-
spect and no share i'll our love? 1t
would seem so. 1912

THE LOGIC OF PROTECTION

On Saturday evening preceding the
the recent election, in the course of a
speech at Cincinnati, Governor Nc
Kinley said;
Now, my fellow-citizens, what is
the remedy? You know the condi-
ton. Every man in Cincinnati knows
it. Will free trade increase production
in this country? That is the remedy
offered by my distinguished competi-
tor. Will lower tariff rekindle our
fires in our furnaces? That is the rem
edy offered by my distinguished COM
petitor-absolute free trade. Why,
what is lower tariff for? A lower
tariff is to make it easier for foreign
products to get into this country.
That is what lower tariff is for. And
the easier it is for foreign products to
get into this country, the more will
come in, and the more that come in,
the less we will make at home. And
the less we make at home, the less
labor we will employ at home
you cannot buy your goods abroad
and make them at home. If you buy
them abroad they will be made by
labor abroad. If you buy them at
home they will be made by labor at
home, and wages will be paid at home
and wages will be spent at home. If
you buy them abroad, the wages will
be paid abroad and the wages will be
spent abroad. Every foreign product
that comes into this country in conf
petition with our own labor displaces
just that quantity of home product;
and as it displaces that quantity of
home product it displaces the home
man who makes it.
There is not farmer in Hamilton
County who thinks it wise economy
to hire his neighbor's boys to do his
work when he has a half-dozen
stalwart boys of his own idle at home.
No good Government should consider
it wise economy to buy its goods
abroad when it has a million I'M
employed men at home. The more
that is done at home the better wages
will be made at home. If there is one
days work and two men to do it,
neither of them will get as good pay
as though there were two days work
and one man to do it. And you labor
ing men know that. Free trade pro-
poses to give one or both days work
to Europe. Protection proposes to
keep them both at home

COMPARISONS ARE ooious.


But Isabella Proctor Says Men Are Rarely
Idiots.
The pride that a woman feels in the
triumph of any member of her own sex
is certainly a justifiable one. tits pleas
ant to know that women are able to
hold up their end on the burden of en-
deavor in science, art, literature, me-
chanics, business, even personal BRAY
cry, although physical cowardice is
with them natural law by virtue OF
their small muscle and delicate limbs.
And when man bumphously or Gym
ically relegates women to position "a
little better than his dog" spirited
sister may be excused if she cites few
examples in disproof of his theories.
REPUTATION never convinces a man of
that stamp. however, since he is sure
to lack those proverbially masculine
attributes, justice and logic. Such
men are not very common, for as a rule
men are by no means idiots except in
n few extremely minor matters.
But the habit of comparison too often
does not stop short at tho limit of ar
gument, within the bounds of which it
is lawful aid. Finding ii weapon
ready to her hand, an overzealous
woman of not too powerful Judgment
is apt to WELD ii when no battle is wag-
ing, and take an aggressive stand when
nobody is thinking OF raising an Issue.
General conversation under her infu-
ence assumes tone of hostility that is
almost personal or languishes into em-
barrassed pauses. She does more harm
than good to the cause she champions
and renders il actively offensive to its
friends and foes alike by the very vaunt-
ing apd self assertion which she con-
dennis in men. Such a course never vet
won any convert to the standard. It Is
calculated rather to arouse enmity than
to convince. A woman may be stanch
believer in and upholder of her own
sex, without ilinging her gauntlet in
the face of every man she meets, not
waiting to find out whether he Is n SEQ
or not. Boastfulness and unfavorable
comparison are quite likely 10 awaken
opposition where none previously ex-
listed, since we are all, men and women
alike, sharers in the vanities, foiblcs
and Inconsistencies of human nature.
1t is great mistake TO assume that
men and women are natural enemies,
either Of whom can be exalted hut at
the expense of the other. Sensible
women do not relish an immoderate
partisanship of their sex any better than
the men discountenanced by it do. If
we are really SO much cleverer and
drawer than men, il does not become us
to continually boast over our weak
brethren. If we are below them in the
scale Of creation, perpetual elamor Of
superiority only makes our lower posi-
ton more evident. If we are all human
beings ON the same plane, about equal
ly endowed on the whole, lot us ADMIT
it and respect ourselves and each other
without quarreling over a question Of
supremacy which does not exist.

We may smile little, but after all it is

The French are people loving show

now to think in Russian. So let them
since we are the gamers in . new COM
bination of richness and grace in the
way of apparel. The climate of Russia
requires very waim clothing and that
of France does not, so the matter is
compromised by giving the outward APP
pearance of the heaviest of garments
while they are still quite light. though
sufficiently warm. Furs ON plush and
brocaded and matchless woods are all
the rage-not here and there little,
as has been before, but wide bands and
rolls. deep cuffs and collars. Dear little
bonnets IRE made of fur, have fur bows
or heads of petits betes of some kind
or other. Naturally fox, seal and sable
are the most recherche, but fur is fur,
and to be in style-one most resemble u
great big hairy Russian.
The long velvet wraps of Russian
green are superb, and the hussar jack
cts, with their military loops and bran
debourgs, are stylish. These are made
of heavy black, dark blue or Russian
green, and there are some styles of
women who look better i'll these than in
any other garment-for instance, those
with tall, Junolike figures. A small
woman looks simply ridiculous in one.
1t is rather early for the heavy furs in
France, but the Russian craze is respon-
sible for this hairy outbreak. 1t is said
that some ladies wear fur around the
tops of their stockings. know they
do around their boots.
At the opera one sees the loyel1est
gowns, and you may also be sure that
they are the newest styles. At the last
representation the pretty Marquise de
Nicoley wore yellow MORE, striped
with black velvet in narrow lines. The
skirt was made with demitrain bor-
dered with a deep band of black Sibe-
rian fox. The elbow sleeves were double
pulled, the upper puff black velvet, the
lower, yellow velvet, with fall of SUI
perh lace. 1t was square in the neck,
with rich medicis collar studded
thickly with pearls. The Princess de
Broglie wore black and gold costume
also, the back of rich black MORE and
the front of gold brocade. The sleeves
were single dropping puffs. The cor
