in this strain until Miss Phil gave him
a gentle hint to be going, by excusing
herself to pepare for the proposed

When Frank appeared, Miss Phil,

in answering his note, explained that
"Mr. Carter delayed a little after receiv-

Frank, smiling; "he will always talk

Honest Frank Flushton spoke quite
simply, without the least thought of
displaying his generosity, and Miss
Phil stole a glance up at his bronzed
face, thinking what kind heart he
had under his somewhat odd exterior.
Foor Frank perceived the glance. and
feared that his necktie was awry and
she was taking note of the fact. What
ever she might think of his attire, he
was sure hers was perfect, from the
jaunty hat to the neat little shoe which
peeped out from under her skirts.
This ride was naturally followed by |
others; and ere long Frank became a |
frequent caller at the little cottage in
which Miss Phil lived, with a widowed |
aunt as companion.

Miss Phillis," said he one evening,

Something in his manner gave Miss
Phil a suspicion of what was coming,
and, impelled by the spirit of mischief,
she wickedly replied:
THAT reminds me that l ought to
have sent you some eggs, now that
they are so scarce in the market; and

Now, what could be worse for man

A large class Of newspaper men
in Idaho display no especial liter
airy talent except il the use of in
vective to be directed at the State
officials. 1t may be possible, that
as last resort all the disappointed
democratic politicians have been
placed i'll control of the party or
gans of the State to keep them out
of the poorhouse, and the spleen
displayed is only the outpourings
of jealousy. The present admins
tration has i'll great measure been
burdeneL with the work of reorgan-
ization The State government is
new and there are many institutions
just being developed into useful
ness. The world is half full of
pessimists anyway and there is no
dearth of doubling Thomases and
unreasonlng klckers to make every
blessing that is offered us as un-
certain Of life as a bottle-fed baby.
Every act of the Governor and the
other State officials is assailed.
Efforts have been made to prevent
the Normal schools of the State
from being completed and carried
forward to the field of their need
and usefulness. The charge of
fraud in State lands has been raised
and the Soldiers Home has had its
scandal. Each Of these charges
has been proven to be almost
wholly false but the cry is kept up
still to drown the truth till the
"supes" can invent some other
style of thunder to confuse the pub
lie.

Consistent IN Inconsistency.

The Democratic State convention
of New York, in its platform
adopted recently, declared in favor
of Federal taxation for revenue
only and in the same paragraph
demanded that there be NO med
ding with the present reformed
tariff 10 the injury and unsettling
Of business and industries. "
The New York Sun INDUCES in
a sarcastic commentary upon the
utter iucongrulty of these two sen
fences. It says: 1T would have
been exactly as consistent to say
that we believe in tariff for pro-
lection and in tariff for revenue
only The present tariff is a pro-
lection tariff. The only way 10
bring about Federal taxation for
revenue only is to do away with
the present protective tariff and en-
act tariff for revenue only. So
to do would be to unsettle and in
jure business industries, but like
wise to vindicate the constitution
as regarded by the Democratic
National convention Of 1902"
The remarks of the Sun accen.
tuate the wide divergence Of the
Democratic party between its theo-
ries and its practices, in which i,
is consistent with nothing but its.
elf and its own history for the past
thirty years. The New York con.
vention is only doing with respect
to the tariff what the Kentucky
convention has already done on
the subject of finance and what the
National party may be expected to
do next year upon every important
issue of the campaign. A silver
candidate upon goldbug platform
and tariff plank pledging the
party to protection and free trade
i'll the same sentence are the usual
harmonies Of the democratic atti-
tude toward the questions Of the
day.
This would not be so bad il
either the theory or the practice
of the party had in view the good
of the Nation. But there's the
rub. AS to its theory of free trade,
for which tariff for revenue only
is but another name, the Demo
cratic party is indulging in All
idle dream, upon its own confess
sion. In its practical endorsement,
of the present tariff it is insisting
upon a protection which neither
protects nor supplies an adequate
revenue for the country's need.
The shameful record of National
finance during the past three years
condemns the present tariff to last.
ing infamy as tariff for revenue
while its disastrous effect upon in
dustries consigns it to an even
deeper damnation as a tariff 70,
protection.
1t is these facts which make the
declarations of the New York con-
vention unique in the eminence OF
their inconsistency with each other,
with principle, and in fact with
everything but the past history Of
the party which has the audacity
to give them expression, or, having
done so, to ask for public support.
