brilliant young spectators on the board,
had transferred his open trades to an

was unable to swing his holdings.

Tariff and EecinrCCifX.

The declaration of the Ohio Republi-
cans i'll their State convention on the
subject of the tariff and reciprocity has
evidently had good effect in checking
the nOnsensical agitation in favor of
tariff revision. 1t is well understood
that the Ohio Republicans represent in
their declaration the convictions of the
President on this subject. Hence, when
they declared that the tariff schedules
to protect American labor against the
low wages paid foreign labor must be
maintained" they made it entirely clear
that the President does not want any
tariff revision
Mr.. Hanna put the matter effectively
when he declared that the party will
not permit an abridgenlent of the tariff
that will interfere with the labor of one
man for one day" There could be no
revision in the sense that word is gem
orally used, without throwing thousands
of men out of work, owing to the I'M
certainty that would be created as to
what might be the final outcome.
On the subject of reciprocity the plat
form declares in favor Of it, only stipu-
| lating that it must be purely q reel
prOcity, not for the sake of encouraging
any nation in closer commercial rela-
tons. in the sense the word is used in
the Republican national platform,
which is the guide to the party, means
the admission into this country at low
rates of duty, or without any duty, OF
products that we do not produce in this
country in return for similar favors
from the nation with which the treaty
is negotiated. | does not mean cutting
down the tariff to a dangerous extent
ON any industry established in this
country by the protective tariff, which
course might throw many men out OF
employment, to help some other indus
try.
There is nothing inconsistent, as the
Ohio platform shows, between the pro-
tective tariff and reciprocity. For that
reason the Republican party is in favor
of reciprocity, and we have no doubt
that Congress at its next session Will
assist the President in carrying into
effect, to as large an extent as possible,
his ideas on that subject. Those people
who affect to believe that the President
has changed his ideas to any extent on
the tariff question need only to read
carefully the platform adopted by the
Ohio Observation-Disclosures Press.

taurants closed their doors in their faces
and they were constrained to patronize
the cheaper restaurants, and even these
were not overpleased with the attention.
Finally the pair under assumed names
left for Japan.
While the wife of Lord Hope by thus
accompanying Strong has abandoned her
legal husband the latter, strangely, can
take no action to divorce her. The head
of the family is his brother, the Duke Of
Newcastle. He holds the family purse
strings and on him is dependent Lord
Hope. But the duke is opposed to d.
vorce in any form. And thus May Yohe
legally bears the title of Lady Hope and
one day, despite her disgrace, may be-
come a duchess of Newcastle, for hex
abandoned husband is the legal successor
of the present childless duke.
In case Lord Hope should succeed to
the dukedom within the next few years
It is doubtful If the courts would issue
him decree OF divorce. According to
numerous precedents they would hold
that he had waited too long.

Captain Strong and Lady Hope Figure
In a Sensation.
May Yohe, the American actress, has
at last got rid of her husband, though,
paradoxically, the latter has by no means
been relieved of her. AS the companion
of Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of the
late ex-Mayor Of New York. she has sail
ed to join the lotus eaters in Japan, there
to live a life of pleasure, free from the
censure and the social ostracism which
such a life would invite here.
One life she has already ruined, that
of her legal husband, Lord Hope. An
other life she seems to be leading along
the same pathway, that Of Putnam Brad
Ice Strong His infatuation for her was
such that he resigned from the army In
order to be in her society and only con-
sideration for him on account of his hon.
orable father prevented his being court
martialed. While under orders to sail
for the Philippines he telegraphed from
San Francisco his resignation as captain
to the Secretary Of War. Mr. Root would
have refused to accept it and would have
ordered a court-martial were 1t not that
the President interposed and for the
sake OF the father saved the son from
the consequence of his rashness and ia
tuity.
