In the presence OF death the Amer

other than the Anglo-Saxon race
could ever initiate, or that officers
not American could ever understand,

The dead man had died instantly,
not in the flush and glory of battle,
but in the lonely, yet most honor
able, discharge of the sacred duty of
the sentinel. Murder most foul was
his, and had he been well-nigh a
pariah among them-a man set apart
from his kind-the impulse of his fell

COURAGE NEEDED.
Big Task Ahead of Tariff Reducers
Ia Dealing with the
Trusts.

If Congressman Babcock is in earnest
when he announces that he will make
a fight for tariff reduction he should
find encouragement in the failure OF
the industrial commission to obtain
replies from the principal trusts re-
garding sales of products abroad
cheaper than at home. Their silence is
a selfimpe of the tariff which
takes a bonus out of the citizens
pocket for their higher profit.
Especially significant is the fat re-
fusal of the steel trust to answer the
series of questions proposed by the
commission. Yet Mr.. Schwab, when
testifying, asserted that If the tarif1
were reduced the corporation of which
he is president would be forced to cut
wages. Further than that he refused
to commit himself.
In the last speech of President Nc
kinney the work of such men as Mr..
Ba bcock was outlined when the former
great advocate of protection said that
Commercial wars are Improbable.
If, perchance, some of our tariffs arr
no longer needed for revenue Or %r.en-
courage and protect our j=1ustries az
home. why should they not be en-
ployed toextend and promote our mar
kets abroad? We must not repose IN
fancied security that we can forever
sell everything and buy little or moth
ing"
Yet continued grab seems to be the
policy of the trusts which haS refused
to furnish data to the industrial COM
mission. Does their attitude mean
that the present system of high protec-
tive tariffs will be continued by bluff
ing the laboring people with the un-
grounded fear that wages viii be low
cred? Are the dividends of shrinking
industria. stocks to be buoyed By
forced profits9
Mr. Babcock has big task before
him. This attitude Of the trusts will
hardly change. The tariff must be
maintained by the forces that are now
threatening such men as Represents
tive Babcock-s There is need for eour-
age on the part of those who think to
alter the present policy of the
republicans in charge of the
party machine. OF argument there
is a plenty. Facts and differences are
on the side of the tariff reformers.
But are they brave enough to continue
in the fight TO the end? Win not Bah
cock go the way Of Knute Nelson ?-St
Louis Republic.

STILL STICK TO SUBSIDY.
the Campaign with
New One.

OF course, Senator Frye is still con-
rinced that the ship subsidy principle
sound, and that itswas wisely en-
bodied in the bill introduced in the
asst congress. But we believe that
here are more. people who disagree
With him than there ever were be-
:ore. The Hanna-Frye-Payne bill is
admittedly dead And the men who
1rafted it and pressed it as vigorous
as they knew how have been forced
20 lay it aside in favor of another
one that they hope may be less OBJ
iectionable to the people So the
campaign win begin again with the
opening of congress. What the new
DILL is we do not know, but it is safe
20 say that If it is satisfactory to
The interests that have been so clam
orous for a subsidy it will be objec-
tionable to the people. More and
more they are coming to oppose the
whole subsidy principle, and to OPP
pose Is strongly. And their. opposi-
ton is something that the republic
an leaders had better look out for.
That there will be vigorous fight
against the new bill is, of course
clear. Republican senator's and rep
resentatives and able republican
newspapers throughout the west are
known to be hostile to the proposed
gift. Anyone at all familiar with the
feeling in this region realizes the
danger involved in pushing this
subsidy scheme on an unwilling and
protesting people. It is known that
there would have been very respect
able republican vote against the sub
sidy bill in the last congress if it had
ever come to a vote. And there is
reason to believe that it would have
been acted on in the senate had it
not been for the fact that the bills

countenanced the democratic filibus-
situation is growing steadily worse
for the subsidy people. Senator Frye.
who seems disposed to judge public
sentiment by the sentiment of the
people of Maine, is apparently I'M
able to understand that the opposi-
ton to his measure throughout the
west is almost as strong among re-
publicans as among democrats. Yet
such is the fact.
The popularity of reciprocity, the
belief that the tariff must come down
and the favorable view of the move
ment against imposing tariff duties
for the benefit of trusts are all SO
many indications of the growth of
the opposition to the policy of tax
ing one set of men for the benefit of
another set. Thus the ship subsidy
proposition is in direct antagonism
to the prevailing tendency of the
times in the matter of taxation. In
stead of more subsidies and discrim-
mating taxes, the people want fewer,
and they are convinced that the time
has come to tighten tax burdens
rather than to increase them. And
when they believe-and on the best
of evidence-that the ship subsidy is
demanded by few rich men who are
already doing a large and profitable
business without it, there is little
chance of converting them to the Frye
view-India0apolis News Dndo.

SOME TRUST PROFITS.
Evidences Of Overcharsing Th&s L.
Being Kept from the
People. Q

The trusts have more ways than
one Of fleeing the public. OF course
they charge for their wares All the
traffic will -bear,r which, thanks to
the protection they receive through
the tariff and from the monopoly
that most of them enjoy of supply
ing the American market without
competition. should enable them to
pay large dividends. But this large
profit does not satisfy some OF the
managers or insiders who,s by know
ing the actual condition of the prop
critics and the amount OF business be-
ing done, are able to manipulate the
market for the trust stock and thus
bleed the public who are silly enough
to deal in such stocks with no knowl-
edge of their actual value except
what the trust managers deal out to-
them. Speaking of law which would
compel the trusts to publish their
condition as banks and railroads do,
the Philadelphia North American
says: "Of course the business fol-
lowed by constituencies insiders in
certain of these industrial properties
would suffer from the adoption Of a
policy of publicity, because it would
safeguard to some extent the general
rule of small investors whom they
Z find it Immensely profitable to fleece
But among financiers and investors as
a whole any chance tending to reduce
mere. gambling would not be unwel-
come" Then, after showing that pub
licity has been put forward as one
of the means for controlling the
trusts and that the steel trust has
voluntarily made a partial statement
]
can goes on to say: ''The steel trust
however, has thrown out a valuable
hint, perhaps inadvertently, which
would contribute in some measure to
! a partial solution of the problem OF
| monopoly. The compulsory publica-
ton by all corporations engaged i'm
interstate commerce OF regular finan-
cial statements would at least afford
a starting point for intelligent discus
sion. The semiannual' statement OF
its earnings by the steel trust has GER
tainly served a distinct purpose. It
shows that under present conditions
this immense monopoly has earned a
ten per cent. income on a capitalize
ton that is more than one-fourth wa
ter.
while doing this it has charged
from $40 to $2S per ton for steel rails
to name one article-which Mr.. Car
negie has ties tified can be turned out
for SIS, and has sold its products
cheaper abroad than at the point OF
| manufacture in this country. What
the other trusts are earning there il
no means of ascertaining under their
present secretive system of operation,
/ but the average customer-and the
average customer in fact is none 9th
er than the whole people of the Unit
ed States-feels legitimate curiosity
to know how much he is being over
charged since healthful and natural
competition has been suppressed. 1t

undeserved criticism If they Will volun-

letting the public know more of their
affairs. Their habit of concealment

lation which they do not consider de-

ger, even under the exceptional cir
cumstances of their meeting on the
train. True, she was cordial, bright,
winsomo and all that when at last
he was formally presented, but so
she was to everybody. True, they
had had many-at least he had had
many-delfghtful long interviews on
the shaded deck of the Sacramento;
but, though he would have eagerly
welcomed a chance TO indulge in SEN
timent, never once did Marion en-
courage such a move. On the con-
trary, he recalled with something
akin to bitterness that when his
voice or words betrayed tendency
towards such lapse she became in
stantly and palpably most conven-
tional.
Now, in the light of ali he had
heard from various sources, what
could he believe but that she was in
terested, to say the least, in that 9TH
err man? Well and miserably he re-
called the words of Farquhar, who
had served some years at the same
station with the Rays: "She's the
bonniest little army girl know, and
her heads as level as it is pretty-ex-
cept on one point. She's her fathers
daughter and wrapped up in the
army. She's always said she'd marry
only a soldier. But Maidie's getting
wisdom with years, 1 fancy. Young
Foster will be a rich man in spite Of
himself. for he'll have his mothers
fortune, and he's heels over head in
love with her."
''But 1 understand" interposed the
general, with quick glance at Stuy-
vesant, who had risen as though to
get another cigar, "that Ray didn't
exactly approve of him."
'Oh, Ray didn't seem to have any
special objection to Foster unless it
was that he neglected his business
to lay siege to her. Fosters a gen
tleman, has no bad habits and is the
very man nine women out of ten
would rejoice in for husband, and
ninety-nine out of ten, if that were
a mathematical possibility. would de-
light in as son-in-law. He isn't brill
liant-buttons would have supplied
the lack had he been in the cavalry.
dare say he'll be ass enough to go
in for a commission now and sell out
his ranch for a song. Then shed
probably take him"
And then, too. as he strolled
thoughtfully up the street, still dim
~ lighted by the waning moon and
dotted at long intervals by tiny cleo
trio fires, Stuyvesant went over in
mind other little things that had
come to his ears, for many men were
of mind with regard to Billy Rays
daughter, and the young officer found
himself vaguely weighing the reasons
why he should now cease to play the
moth-why he should be winging his
fight away from the fame and ut
terly ignoring the fact that his feet,
as though from force of habit, were
bearing him steadily towards it. The
snap and ring of bayoneted rifle
coming to the charge, the stern voice
of sentry at the crossing of the
Gale Faura, brought him to his
senses.
'sHalt! Who is there?"
''Stah officer, First DIVISION" was
the prompt reply, as Stuyvesant
looked up in surprise.
Advance, staff officer, and be rec
ognized," came the response from a
tall form in blue, and the even taller

It would be difficult to imagine a
more representative organizing COM

formed to arrange dinner to Sir John

mony to the esteem in which the
great political cartoonist of Punch is
held by all ranks of society, and nota-
bly, by those prominent politicians
who have so often afforded material
for Sir Johns remarkable work. The
duke of Devonshire, Mr.. Balfour, Lord

THE QUIET HOUR.

Whenoday has let her fires burn down
To glowing embers In the west,
And busy care with folded hands
Forgets her toll and drops to rest;
When shadowy pictures come and go.
AS twilight deepens DER the plain.
And dewy silence, breathing balm,
ReviveS the dropping leaves again.
How sweet to worn and troubled hearts
The falling shade, the soothing power
,Of ministries that nature holds
To bless us in the quiet hour.
We do not heed them in the din
OF toll and traffic on the street:
Thy do not linger in the halls
Where pride of wealth and fashion meet;
But, duties done, and thought released,
and daylight closing like flower,
With homes dear place enwrapping all,
How precious is the QUIET hour.

LATEST SPEECH OF M'KINLEY.
The Course of Ohio Democrats VIII
Make Things Warm for
Republicans.

The last speech of President McKin-
tey-the speech he delivered in Buffalo
created a sensation in free trade Eng
land that was remarkable. The read
ers of the Observer have been told
now it was printed in full and COM
mented upon by English journals.
Ohio democrats have taken up the
Mckinley utterance. What repub-
licans choose to call reciprocity" is a t
least a departure from the high tariff
protection theory. It is a retreat, so
far as it goes
In the opening of the Ohio campaign
in Bucyrus, Col. James sKilbourne, the
democratic gubernatorial candidate,
declared that the democratic principle
of tariff for revenue only had been
adopted by the republican party, too,
by the late President Mckinley. He
made the declaration while arraigning
the republican party for trust legisla-
ton. His words were:.
THE death kneli of the high protective
tariff. which is robbing the many for the
benefit of the few, was sounded by Pres
i6ent Mckinley in these words: The Pc
Rod of exclusiveness is past The Amer
lean people will proceed in the direction he
pointed out. and will continue to go for
ward until the true and perfect reciprocity
advocated by the democracy is esta blishe 6
