A Forgotten Heroine.

Worrhily worn, the gaudy rappings of
war have ever won feminine hearts. In
recording the great services to our coun-
try of an almost forgotten Revolutionary
heroine, a writer has brought TO light
some remarkable romances. The heroine
tall, cultured, high-born, joined the Con
tinenta army in the uniform of a man and
served ; years with conspicuous bravery
Her herosm brought her preferment and
into contact with the best people of the
Colonies. and at all the balls and other
social gatherings she was the lion (or lion
ess). The girls adored the brave soldier,
confessed their love, and showered her
with presents. The Girl Who Fought
in the Revolution" will be a feature ofthe,
July Ladies Home Journal. tits arecord
of facts far stranger than fiction.

The export trade balance in favor of
the United States during the first three
years of President McKinley's admins
tratiun amounted to S1,4S3, 100000.
More than one-half that sum repre-
sents what was paid for labor in manu-
featuring these exports, for which the
rest of the world paid. In other words,
the Republican policy has obliged the
world in the last three years to pay at
least S740,000,000 to American labor,
which would employ 100000 men for
one year at n salary of 81 900 per year.
This is one reason why work is plenty,
wages good and the home consumption
of American products has largely in
creased.

NIPPED IN THE BUD.
Foreign Shipping Lobby Meets with,



The foreign shipping interests and
their free trade mercenaries, who are
fighting the shipping bin, have endeav-
ored to unite the Democrats in con-
gress In opposition TO the bin and in ad-
vocacy Of free ships. This scheme has
been neatly nipped in the bud by a
number of patriotic Democrats who
are members of the house merchant
marine and fisheries committee and
who have united upon a report on the
shipping bill in which a few not unac-
ceptable amendments to it are propos-
ed and in which report subsidies are
declared To be the only practicable
means with which to revive our mer-
chant marine.
This Democratic minority report con-
tains the emphatic declaration that
free ships are impracticame and I'M
worthy Of consideration, as being a pol
icy that the Democrats themselves re-
fused to adopt when they had the
chance and which they never would
adopt. Besides, the report says it is
well known that Republicans would
never consent to such legislation, as it
would be ruinous to American ship
yards.
Thus defeated and checkmated, the
humiliation and embarrassment of the
foreign shipping lobby and its free
trade friends must be acute. This
Democratic minority report declares
that the shipping question is a national
and not partisan one. Here, at least,
these Democrats align themselves with
progressive and patriotic Republicans
TO the discontinue and defeat of the
foreigners and their American free
trade allies.

Records of the Postofice Department
show that the amount of mail matter Of all
classes in the United States, in 1900
weighed sos 600. sos pounds. This was
enough to fill 39,l42 cars with frej2i t..
This record was the largest in the history
OF the country, and was due to the re-,
mukable prosperity and unprecedert d
b lsiness activity now existing. In dull
Democratic times the business of the

Kansas has made another record. Not
content with plastering the walls OF her
State buildings with cancelled mortgages
not content with doubling her bank
deposits since 1896; Kansas now has but
one inmate in the State poor farm. Dr.
ning-hall's and bedrooms that lew
years ago were crowded with the idle,
with the hungry, and with the poorly clad,
now echo and re-echo the solitary tramp
oftheir one sole inmate, who is without kith
or kin. and is too old and feeble to work.
But one sad relic remains in the Kansas
poor house, to remind the taxpayers OF
the days when its free soup, free bed and
free clothes were donated to those who
were compelled to idleness under a Dem
ocra'ic Administration. and under its poll
cy Of destruction TO all American indus
tries, both Of farm and factory.

Two Posers for Grigcs,

The Philadelphia Record cites two
posers for Attorney General Griggs
during the closing of his argument in
the Porto Rico Philippines case before
the United States Supreme Court.
Justice Brewer asked him if he tneld
that, as Congress extended the Consti-
tuition and laws to the organized Terri
tories, Congress also could take them
away from the Territories. y This ques-
ton placed the Attorney General in q
deadly dilemma. If he answered in the
negative he would commit himself to
the proposition that Congress is incom-
pstent to repeal its own laws. II he
answered in the affirmative he would
commit himself to the proposition that
Congress is competent to repeal the
Constitution in the Territories, over
which his argument assumed that Con-
gress is competent to extend mot
simply exeeutej the organic law. The
| question was a POSER. After hemming
twice, during which he caught sight Of
the abyss at his feet, he answered
obviously in the negative, but all tht
same the bubble of his argument
pierced by the question of Justice
Brewer, collapsed, fattened out
melted into air.
And then came Justice Harlan witt
another POSER. The Attorney Genera
having been unwary enough to mention
the case of Laughborough VS.. Blake
the justice desired to know what Chic
Justice Marshall meant in saying
1.-The power TO lay and collect duties
imposts and excuses may be exercised
and must be exercised, throughout til
J United States" Mr.. Griggs auswerin
that throughout the United States
referred to the States of the Union
} Justice Harlan pointed out that It ez
, pressIy referred also to "the District {
Columbia" and 1.-THE territory west {
the Missouri whereupon the Attol
, ney- General, ignoring the connection
, abruptly closed the incident by passin
, Immediately to his peroration. Silenc

Comparing the total vote at the
recent election for President with the
total number OF men of voting age
according to the last census, the Boston
Globe finds a difference of about
G, 100000 in favor of the latter. OF
course all of THESE $500, COG non-voters
did not possess the right of suffrage,
but the great bulk of them undoubtedly
did. The only explanation as to why
they did not vote is that they would
not vote for Bryan and Porulism and
could not vote for Mckinley and mill
tarism. The refusal-for it was practi-
cally this--of such a vast body of men
to vote is one of the most significant
features of the election. 1t shows what
reserve force there is for the party
that will go into the next national
campaign with fitting candidates stand
ing upon true American platform.
