In tho Consular Report for March
there is a statement Of the steam and
sail tonnage OF the world which shows
what rank as shipowner our nayiGa.
tion and tariff laws have given TO the
United States. Our tonnage OF sail.
ipg vessels Is / $40 ,3g7 tons. as against
the 2.O1a. 800 tons OF Norway and Swe'
den an ] the ., 4Gl, 46s tons OF Great
Britain. In steam tonnage wc rank
fourth. with 4i1.I29 tons following
France, with 4Sha2i tons. Germany,
with sol. aS4 tons. and Great Britain,
with 8, sS6,62l tons Tho capitalists oil
orr country have found 50 many or
rortunlties for ilY stInents. which paid
bstter than vessels, that our tonnage
has not increased since oui Dolnoera-
tic proteges by the aid Of their British
a'l.es, tried Lard to drive II off the
high sens by force Of arms. As our
prosperity IN the land has now been
checked, 1t may he possible that capi.
talists may be led to invest thsil
money In ships. anh our people may
seek employment In them. as it is I'M
possible to find 1t in the factory or or
the farm. Poverty on the shore may
possibly be mitigated to some extent
by employment at rather low wag es
which will be rece sary to enable oHi
bh'p owners to successfully compete
with the foreign shippers.

The experience OF Colonel Brec!iin-
ridge must lead him to the conclusion
that 1t Is unwlse to make promises
not intended to b, complied with.
III he did not intend to make Miss Poi.
lard his wife. he should have kept
away from her, and not given any
ground for gossips to talk, or for any
one to suspect any intention OF mar.
rage or undue Intimacy. lie was Ger.
talnly inprudent II not actually 1rimi-
nal. and therefore he must expect to
suffer In reputation as we'll as pecu.
niarly. Having got into difficulty by
his own volition he should have healed

tice Of gold, and thus escaped thu
odlum that has followed his proseeu-
ton. His constituents may overlook
this lapse OF virtue, but It Is not likely
they will ever forget 1t, and the pas
sage OF time will fall to remove the
stain from his name. His own acts
proclaim his guilt. and no plea will
hardly avail to save his conviction.
Like others who deviate from the
path OF rectituIe he must fully realize
that the way OF the transgressor is
hard. Others may take warning and
earn W isdom from his experience.
Lis the first wrong step that counte,
1hoss who wish to escape tro ubls
