persona ges. President Buchanan sent a
message of coincidence.
The trial excited worldwide interest
More than hundred talesmen were re-
1ected, because they declared that they
would acquit Sickles. Mr.. Stanton made
the chief speech for the defence. He
boldly claimed that it was absolutely
necessary for thesecurity of the nome
that a husband should destroy a man
who so wantonly invaded It as Key had
done in this case Mr.. Sickles wept qsp.-
ously during the trial and betrayed. in
tense mental suffering.
The verdict was not guilty" It was
received with thunderous and uncontrol
liable applause.
Then a thing happened which aston SHED
the public even more than me Staying.
Mr.. Sickles took lack the wlfs whose
conduct had caused him to xii man.
1t appeared that he had frequently ex-
pressed his intention Of forgiving his wife
in case ne should be acquitted. One great
reason for this was his desire TO save his
innocent daughter from the consequences
Of her mothers error, as far as possible.
Mr. Sickle's action raised a storm of
comment, largely disappearing. 1t Of
Tended against the moral code of many
men who had applauded his act of de-
struction. 1t was then that Mr.Sckles
printed elsewhere on this page. 1t de-
serves to live.
Lovely, broken-hearted and penitent
Mrs. Sickles only survived a few years the
tragedy which her sin had caused. She
left daughter to the cart of the nus
band. who had forgiven SO much.
Today he is a conspicuous figure in New
York society-rich. active in spite of his
years; one Of the regular flrst-nghters at
theatres. But mis- greatest claim TO
human interest is that he made the rule

SPANISH INJUSTICE
TO AMERICA,

A serious grievance az ainst Spain has
existed for many years that is not gener.
ally known to the people Of the United
States who are not familiar with the tarifi
regulations. While in this country all
nations are treated alike as to duties, ex'
cept with whom we have special treaties.
Spain divides the commercial world into
three classes-most favored. intermediate
and least favored. All but six OF the
important commercial countries are class
ed As most favored. OF the six not thus
classified, all but one come under the
head Of intermediste. That one, the
United States, is alone in the least fsv-
ored class. The intermediate class con-
sisss Of CoIumbis and Ecuador in South
America, and China, Ansm and Siam in
Asia.
Our exports to Spain have amounted
to about ten per cent Of her total i'm
ports, while our imports from that coun-
try have been much larger than our ex-
ports. Our trade with Spain is twice
that Of any other country, except Great
Britain or France, which are in the most
favored class, while the United States is
subject to . discrimination that is almost
prohibitory.
