The Court of Enquiry.

Compared with the day before, the
proceedings in the Court Of Enquiry
yesterday were tame. There was but
one session, judges and counsel alike
thinking that they had earned Satur-
day half holiday. The case is one which
necessitates arduous work and close
attention, and the prosecution" espe-
cially is showing signs of a tired feel
ing. However, by Monday all concern
ed will be rested and ready to under
take the duties of the week with re-
newed vigor.
The Hodgson letters. in which the al
legged colloquy between Lieutenant
Commander Hodgson and Commodore
Schley concerning the loop" of the
Brooklyn is discussed. We're before the
Court. Captain Lemly read them at
length, and also started TO read a news
paper editorial on the subject of the
controversy which severely arraigned
Commodore Schley. Objection being
made to the Introduction of such mat
ter, the Court, after retiring for consul
tation, ruled it out.
The matter of Admiral SIMPSONS at
tendance as WltHeSS ulQ not come up.
1t seems to be the general opinion that
the Navy Department Will refuse to call
him, although his name is at the head
OF its list of witnesses. 1t is still ap-
parent that it is the earnest desire of
the judge advocate and his superiors to
keep Sampson out of the case, and, if
he is to appear at all, probably it will
be necessary for Admiral Schleys coun-
sci to take the initiative Then it will
be seen whether or not there is any
ground for the rumor that the sum

Differing views of Reciprocity.

Almost every Republican who de-
clares for reciprocity accompanies the
statement with the explanation that he
surrenders nothing of his devotion to
the tariff principle. This forces the
conclusion that he is either endeavoring
to defend his record as a consistent one,
or that he does not intend to carry his
reciprocity ideas very far in actual
practice. 1t is an easy matter for
man, a senator, for example, to say
that he is in favor of reciprocity and
then oppose almost every specific agree
ment, upon the alleged ground that it is
not sufficiently favorable to us. We
can hardy expect TO get a dollars
worth of trade concession in some Other
country and only give ten cents worth
in exchange. Reciprocity means reci-
procity. 1t means a fair exchange, and
any Republican who is not willing to
support it upon that basis puts himself
in direct opposition to the whole spirit
of Mr.. Mchinley's Buffalo speech.
which has already been pronounced the
greatest effort of his life.
SO there are extreme free traders who
belittle reciprocity to the uttermcst, in
sisting that the policy is almost devoid
of merit as a measure of tariff reform.
1t is very likely that the Republican
leaders will handle the matter in such
a way that it will not amount to much
in the way of reform The trusts
are all champions of the tariff, and they
control the Republican party. Fence,
one must be optimistic indeed to look
to that quarter for much RELIEF from
tariff abuses.
But the circumstance that with all
their talk about reciprocity the Repub-
licans have done so little upon that line
for good which lie in the policy when
established in a spirit of fairness.
Every time an American product is
placed upon the free list, or the duty
upon the article is lowered in favor of
a certain country, step is taken in the
direction Of free trade. 1t is at least
freer trade. The American consumer is
benefited by getting the article at
lower price, while the American eXpOr-
ter of other things is also benefited by
being given a better chance in some
foreign market. If the policy of reci-
procity is made general, it becomes 10
all intents and purposes free trade
that is, as near free trade as is prac-
ticable in countries which rely upon
customs duties for any considerable
uo-fio1 of their rayertra

In the Greek ceremony no ring is

words Of the service, the couple walk
around him in a circle three times,

throw small coins or tokens of gold and
silver over the welded pair, and a gen

these threads quickly become hard

After few days they desert the moth

During this time the young ones
change their shells four times. On the
fourth occasion they shed their swim

lives. During their existence as sWim-

of a horse being such constant eater
is that its stomach is really small In
