Lodge for reciprocity.

TO hear Senator Lodge declare himself
for reciprocity, and for the French recip-
rocity treaty in particular, causes some
thing of a shock 1t is not long since
Senator Lodge was of another mind. But
now that he is looked to speak for the
administration, he probably finds it ex-

Roosevelt's policy is too well known to

this government Is the only one in the
world which collects its revenues in adj
vance of it's needs, producing almost ev-

ket Other governments issue treasury
bills to meet emergencies for which our
unwieldy SURPRISES are accumulated, and
this plan is much the more rational one.

ocean shipping has made such unsat,s-
factory progress. During the past five
years the actual tonnage built at the
Great Lakes shipyards is fully 70 per cent
of the total construction at Atlantic. Gulf:
and Pacific coast yards; indeed, in 1886,
and 1897 the lake construction was larger

prospered through the unrestrained COM

the inland seas. And all of this inland
commerce has sailed under the Ameri-

THE SALUTE.

With clarion call Of warning it reused
the laggard morning;
Its stormy greeting rent the mist in
twain,
AS down the glimmering river, with It's
silver stream a-quiver,
The mighty ships stood outward to the
main.
And above the battery lifted, where the
cannon smoke had drifted,
A cloudy pillow shook against the sun,
While i'll measured tones and solemn,
from the core Of the pale column,
"Good-by! and God be with your roar
Farewell on your tartar faring!" boom
ed the gun.
Beside that burly Titan I had watched
the gray dawn brighten
And golden pillows flood the flaming
sky;
And by the vigil wearied, long hours that
trailed and tarried,
My jaded heart made petUlant reply:
For all your sounding cIangor, your
show Of empty anger,
What part have you, whose fighting
days are done,
What portion or possession in all that
fair procession?"
I cried in scornful challenge to the
gun;
In hooking. scornfuI challenge to the
gun.
Then he to me defiant, like some easy
tempered giant,
Too cool and strong for pettfer souls
to fret:
discarded and disrated, of type and
form outdated
Past work l am, but not past service
yet,
Though guns of heavier metal resound
in England's battle
Still, still my lips proclaim her tri-
Still greet her stately daughters as
they pass on yonder waters.
And hail their flags returning said
the gun;
'''The stately ships returningr" said the
gun.
And you. securely testing at the worm
out mastiR resting
Before the gate my watchful brothers
keep;
Were you as true servant, of your mas
ter's Will observant,
The foe had never stolen on YOUR sleep.

done:
But you faltered and mistrusted, TIL the

The day grew broad and splendid az

A royal day, for some great victory
made
And I left that ancient warder with his
brethren all In order
Along the heights in somber menace
laid
And as down the glittering river, with
It's FURNISHED waves a-quiver,
The stately ships spread seaward one
by one.
Like q mighty host retreating, colors
high and tambours beating,
Far down those shining reaches rang
the gun;
The fading, far-off thunder OF the gun.
