deemed it TO be their first duty, under
the pledge made to the people at St.
Louis, to enact a tariff measure that
shoul yield revenue sufficient to
meet the governments expenses. Now,
adherence duty and fidelity to pledges
are two things a Mugwump cannot
appreciate. On the contrary, Mr..
Cieveland's open disregard of the
pledges, in respect of the tariff, under
which he and his party came into full
possession of the government, won the
Mugwump's unqualified appreciation
just as Republ can's treachery to his
party or principles always invokes their
dangerous commentator.
SO these Mugwump newspapers and
leaders are day after day launching
their poisoned arrows at he President,
pronouncing his barely
eight months old-a failure, stirring up
discord and discomfort by every evil
art, and carrying aid and comfort to Che
forces of Organism, msrshalling for the
renewal in 1900 of the battle lost by 8
narrow margin in 1896. Democratic
criticism of Republican policies is re
garded with the allowance due to the
fact that Democrat is the open ant
avowed opponent of Republican. A
Mugwump processes to judge men ant
parties from the independents point o.
view, and may thus win converts among
the unthinking. His camp is tn,
shelter of disaffected politicians; his in
dependence a cloak for his hypocrisy
SO he is power for evil in the land
He has brought disaster to the Nation
during the present generation. HI
strikes at popular confidence in th'
government at a time when peace anC
confidence are necessary TO nationa
prosperity. He should be shunnet
and regarded as his country's wors
enemy.

American Shipping.

A contract has recently been closed
with the Cramp shipbuilding company
for the building of four steel screw
steamships which are TO be modern in
every respect and which will probably
prove to be the most expensive vessels
of similar size ever built in this country.
They will be equipped with electric
lights, side ports aud all other applian-
ces found in the most modern steamers.
They are to be fifteen knot vessels and
are intended for passenger as well as
freight trade, as each will have &C
commodations for one hundred persons.
1t is understood that work upon them
will be commenced Immediately, and
that they will be ready for commission
by next summer.
These new steamers are intended for
the West Indian trade, and are built
for the account of the Boston Fruit
Company, syndicate operating several
steamship lines between ports on the
island of Jamaica and several cities OF
this country. The company at present
owns, or has continually under charter,
sixteen fast steamers. The object OF
the parties contracting for the new
vessels is to charter them to the Boston
Fruit Company in place of vessels
which it now has under charter, and is
of special interest, in that it means the
placing of so much new tonnage under
the American flag, the present steamers

ARTHUR ROPES. General Editor.

The leading iron manufacturers
throughout the Pennsylvania and Ohio
valley are feeling the practical effects
of the adoption of protective tariff to
such an extent that they have announc-
ed that on and after December l a
general advance of ten per cent in
wages will be made. This increase in
wages follows closely upon the increase
of the number of people employed, and
causes universal rejoicing throughout
the iron manufacturing sections.

THE railroad ear ings of the country
during the months of August, Septem-
Der and October show large gain, in
almost every case, over the correspond
ing months of last year. The increase
in October earnings was So, 900 900 over
that of last year, while those of August
and September are even larger, thus
justifying the attitude of the great army
of railroad employees who last year
cast their votes with the party of sound
money and protection. irrespective of
what their former party relations had
been. -
MIR. DINGLEY says the Democrats
will be grumbling next year because
the tariff is producing a surplus. The
chances are that the Dingley act will
before long, at last, bring in enough
revenue TO meet the expenditures.
When that condition comes the country
will rejoice. 1t is to be hoped that the
prediction of surplus however, will
prove correct. A surplus would enable
the government to do little debt pay
ing, which would be very agreeable
change after the debt creating which
was done by the Cleveland admins

THE persstency with which Great
Britain maintains her free.trade no.
tions is causing the ruin of some of her
colonial possessions. Her West Indian
possessions are rich and fertile tracts,
but they are mainly dependent upon
their sugar crop for support, and now
that the beet sugar industry has risen
to such proportions in Europe, they
cannot successfully compete in the mar
kets to which they have heretofore
shipped the products of their cane.
Germany has paid an export bounty on
her beet sugar so that it has come into
ruinous competition with the West In
dian cane product. A moderate duty
on beet sugar by England would give
the West Indies access to that market,
and, although it is clearly understood
by the British that these colonies are
bankrupt and on the verge of absolute
ruin, no Englishman will raise his
voice in favor of slight relaxation of
the free-trade idea.

THE report that there will be a two
thirds majority in the Senate for the
ratification of the Hawaiian treaty is
probably correct. The annexation
party gains friends as time passes. All
the objections which can be urged
against annexation have been heard,
and they are not formidable. 1t is said
that President Mckinley will, in his
message, recommend early action in
this matter and nearly all the Republic
cans and majority of the Democrats
are quite likely to stand with him on
this question. 1t need surprise no one
if annexation should be an assured fact
before the end of January.

him. To the warning of his physicians
Mr.. George replied that he could not

DAYS girls are neat to a certain eX
tent and in a certain way. They
battle freely and wear clean clothes.
But are they tidy? Frequently they
are not. Their hair j. often loose
and prone to tumble down, their
gloves are sometimes ripped at the
finger tips, and often one or two but
tons are lacking from their boots.
The stock collar if often fastened on
with an ordinary white pin that is
very obvious, and the veil has Oc-
casionally hole over the nose or
chin. Our girl is charming. But is
she as careful as she should be?
The other day l was making a
morning call at friends house, and
there met another caller, a woman
who made a most agreeable i'm
preston upon me. She was not
deliberately dressed, but her black
tailor made gown fitted her well, and
there was not spot or a speck Of
dust on it. knew that it had been
brushed carefully before she left her
room. Her linen collar and cuffs
were snowy white and did not twist
or shift from their proper places.
Her gloves did not wrinkle, and but
toned smoothly over the wrists.
Her shoes were like the rest of her
attire, dainty, and her bonnet rested
firmly and straight on soft brown
hair that, while wavy and fluffy,
was neatly dressed, and so securely
pinned that | fancy a high wind
would not have caused it to come
down. A thin veil covered fresh
complexion and bright face. The
tout ensemble gave one the idea of

Before everything else the young
woman has right to expect from
her husband, tenderness, sympathy
and faith" says - Ruth AshmOre,
writing in the June Ladies Home
Journal of "What to Expect From a
Young Man" but sometimes, in
his eagerness to make all life fair to
her, he fancies she is a doll, and not
a woman. And doll is very sell
fish toy; it demands careful treat
ment all the time, and it gives moth
ing but pretty appearance in re-
turn. 1t is the foolish wife who eX-
poets infallibility in her husband.
She forgets that there is a difference
between the housewife and the
house moth. She should expect
from her husband pOliteness at all
times, and certain gentleness that
every man, possessing the real in
stinct of a man, gives to a woman.
But she should not expect from him
too much. She has no right what
ever to ask of him permission to live
lazy life herself, and to give up all
her days and years to vain and idle
thoughts. When the wife can
make her husbands homecoming a
joy, his home staying pleasure
and delight, and his leaving home
a sorrow, then, and then only, car
she expect great deal from him."
