lost by fraud, an investigation of the

neither hoped nor feared any thing. She
ate and drank and slept, the mechanical
routine Of the days repeated itself, bu
she had come to dead stop. She hat
lost all courage, all faith a bare, blanl
wall faced her. There was nothing
more to be enjoyed nor suffered. She
had had every thing and lost every
thing.
If she had consciously recognized al
this there might have been some hope
of reaction. When one appreciates the
dramatic effect of circumstances, a new
interest in new circumstances is apt tc
be not far Off. But Helen was capable
OF no such attitude toward herself. One
saw it in her face-dark and thin and
changcless as statues. She had
great dark eyes, but they never varied
their d--tamy, unhecding look. He1
voice was low, soft and monotonous
And yet she was not at all a dreadful
person to live with. 1t was impossible
that her story should not cast it's shadow
over the household, but when it was
once settled that Uelcn's experience
had exempted her from all the ordinary
rules that bound the others, matters
adjusted themselves, as they always do,
and the happy current of commonplace
living flowed around her undisturbed.
She was slender and graceful, strong,
too, as these slight-built New England
women arc often enough. At seven
teen she had not been handsome, but
she had had that air of any possibility
of beauty that is better than defined
prettiness. She was shy, reserved and
cold, with the positive, repelling power
Of strong natures, with the Puritan ira
ditions OF training superadded. Under
it she was willful, headstrong and pas
sionatc, never capable of seeing more
than one side Of u subject, and always
clarifying that side with the whole
force of a tropical imagination rigidly

In those lays the railroad lines were
everywhere incomplete. Helen, alight-
ing from the low train at its further
most point of advance, found herself
with five hundred miles of stage-riding
before her. With her usual silence, she
did not even comment on the discom-
forts of the journey. She was the only

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
SENATOR SHERMAN'S DEFENCE
OF CONGRESS-.

Senator Sherman objects to the prop
ositiun that the tariff ought to be
taken out of politics and dealt with as
a purely business question" on the
ground that it sis an imputation upon
the business ability and patriotism Of
Congress" The senator says that
when tariff schedules are being dealt
out. "all of the several business inter
ests OF the country" get hearing. This
is historically incorrect, actually mis-
representing. and physically impossi-
BILE The business interests of the
country" affected by the tariff are,
practically, all those interests.
When have they been heard? When
for instance, has any hearing been
given to shippers and tradesmen AFFECT
ed by the increased freight due to the
added cost OF rails caused by the tar
iff? No such hearings have been given
in the past. They are not being given
now, and il would be impossible for
any committee, in the time at its COM
mand to give them.
Nor can it be granted for a moment
that politics plays a very insignificant
part in tariff legislation On the con
trary, IL plays a large, a controlling
mart. How can it be otherwise2 The
protectionist party openly declares thai
il will shape taxation to aid certain in
terests. 1t invites those engaged II
these interests to help it get power
When they do so, and it gets power, i
keeps it's promises. 1t cannot help do
ing so. No party can offer pecuniar,
advantage from legislation as an in
ducement to activity in politics an'

to politics. II is the curse of protec
ionism that it compels business to de
pend on politics, and it always will un

LABRADOR DOGS.

How a Number OF Them Went on an I'm

The dogs of Labrador are not only

hunting as well. a writer in Forest
and Stream, who has spent several sea-

"A thaw had been followed by a
frost, and the snow covering tho ice on

and just as they rounded the first point

dogs saw it they gave yelp like pack

dogs started with jerk, ono of the party

rnE RooT oF THE TRoUBLE.

So far as concerns the free coinage

its consistent refusal to treat
the silver men as criminals or
to adopt every silly, malicious,
and insensate hypothesis advanced by
the salaried voters and organs of the
single standard party. But these re-
proaches troubled us not a whit. We
believed that free and independent sill
YER coinage by the United States would
be injurious to the best interests ol

proposition with all the energy at oui

the trouble comes from the eXtrava-
gance OF Congress, and declares that
there is abundant revenue under an
economical conduct OF public aifairs.
But Mr.. Carlisle assured us two years
ago that the tariff bill of 1894 would
yield enough to meet our expenses, and
has been issuing bonds ever since to
meet the deficiencies of his optimistic
prophecy. The President also tells us
that our finances are sound, and points
to a surplus of $l2S,0OO 600 in proof of
his assertion; but we know that this
so-called surplus is the remnant Of the
S262 600 900 borrowed during the pres
ent administration, and we find it diff
iicult to regard the same as a legiti-
mate and reassuring asset The coun-
try cannot be fed on such arguments
as these. Sensible men understand
that the expenses of the government
cannot be reduced while the nation
is growing with such phenomenal ra-
pidity. Financial men understand that
borrowing money to meet current ex-
penses is not achieving solvency.
We are in circumstances in which nc
such thing as general prosperity is at
tainable, and these circumstances can
be changed for the better in but one
way. We need a national revenue that
viii yield a surplus instead of a deficit
every year. The surplus obtained by
issuing bonds is not a real thing. II
gives no confidence to anyone. We
need a genuine surplus, an overflOwina
Treasury, a sound financial system, al
