WHAT THEY DECIDED.

In the language of one of its dele
gates, the National Reciprocity Con-
vention has proclaimed to the world
that the manufacturers of America
want no reciprocity that is not spelled
PROTECTION.-New York Times.
An eminently correct conclusion
That is precisely what the convention
decided after a consideration of the
subject in all its bearings far more ex-
haustive than any heretofore given to
it by the manufacturers of this coun-
try. Prior to assembling in Washing
ton they had thought about reciproc-
ity only on the basis of its possible or
probable improvement of the export
trade in a few special lines. They had
not thought about it in relation to the
general industries of the country as a
whole nor as to its bearing upon the
country's prosperity as a whole. Once
they had gone deeply and Thoroughly
into this question they discovered that
as an economic and a business propo-
sition it would be the extreme of folly
to sacrifice the entire home market for
the benefit of a few specialists whose
industries are not directly dependent
upon a protective tariff. The manufac-
turers of this country know a great
deal more about the true inwardness
of reciprocity than they did previous
to the Washington convention.

A Book of Human Interest.

A recently published book, Helen
Parker by a newcomer in the field OF
letters, is work of promise. 1t deals
chiefly with the seamy side of life in
a great city and is interesting and en-
pertaining as much by reason of the
earnestness of the author. Charles Ho-
mer Steele, as the comparative novelty
of its subject. The characters are well
drawn-some so strongly and so life
like as to be almost repulsive-and the
book as a whole gives promise of bet
ter work to come, with the ripenins
power and confidence which success
will bring
The grand work done by Christian
workers and the Salvation army among
the friendless of our cities is graphical
ly described. and yet not overdrawn.
The book is a change, and a welcome
one, from the hackneyed style and
plots that have been so favored in re-
cent years; a story of real life and of
characters met with in the everyday
world Decidedly one of these books
that repay a reader for perusal. and
the lesson it teaches is good and whole
some. There is no CLOSING over of
well-known though sad facts, the friv-
olousness and heartlessness of a type
of modern society woman is depicted
with skillful hand; one feels through
out that the author has his heart in his
work.

CARRYING KINDNESS TOO FAR.

The annexation of Cuba would
amount to exactly the same thing eco
nomically as freeing Cuban sugar
from duty. Possibly annexation may
be manifest destiny" but we are not
destined to have it if we don't want
it. Expanding the country is a good
enough thing, but we are not called
on to sacrifice the interests of this
country to those of any other country,
not even Cuba. The thought is bub-
bling up in the minds of q good
many people that perhaps we have
done enough for Cuba, at least for =
while. The wealth producing posi-
bilities of the island are quite sufficient
without the strangling of our fast
growing and wholesome beet sugar
manufacture in order to favor Cuban
sugar. The Cubans should be satisfied
with what they have and not seek to
ruin our industries in a reckless effort
to build up their own on the jump
Their country is fertile in the high
est degree, and they have only to de-
velop it to become a very rich people.
We have no call to impair our own
welfare to still further enhance the
prosperity of Cuba

ARE THE TREATIES YET ALIVE ?

Senator Warren of Wyoming raises
a question which might form an in
teresting subject of inquiry and de-
bate at the Reciprocity Convention in
Washington this week. He says:
I'm my mind there is no actual dan
ger to the wool industry from the Ar
gentine or any other reciprocity
treaty These treaties expired by limf-
tation and cannot be revived 1t is
questionable. even. whether new treat
les can be negotiated and submitted
under the two-year restriction of the
Dingley act provision If they can
they will never get past the watchful
friends of protection in the United
States senate if they contain aught OF
danger to any American industry 1
hope, however, to see all one-sided
reciprocity treaties effectively killed
on. so that they may no longer serve
as a bogy man to the timid wool buyer
or afford a pretext by which the bears
of the wool market may depress prices
at the expense and loss of the wool
grower"
This view is shared by many emil
nent lawyers in and out Of congress-

WHERE THEY MARRY YOUNG.

I'm Austria Children of Fourteen Years
May BE Made Man and Wife.
Persons who think they are "o'er
young to marry YETI should look
abroad and see what is thought in
other nations about the proper age for
matrimony. In Austria a boy and girl
having arrived at the age of IA are
considered to be old enough for matri-
mon1al purposes, and the law allows
them to marry and begin housekeep-
ing as soon as they please. In Ger
many a man is not considered to have
arrived at manageable age until
he is IS, and in France and Belgium
the man must be IS and the girl Is.
In Spain the bridegroom must have ar
rived at the mature age of IA and the
bride must be a staid young lady of
r. The law is the same in Portugal.
Hungary has a funny marriage law.
For Catholics the maria geable age is
considered to be IA for the boy and
II for the girl but for Protestants
it is Is for the boy and Is for the
girl. Why this distinction? In Switz-
erland and Greece the ages are IA for
the boy and II for the girl, the same
as in Spain and Portugal. In Spain,
Greece and Portugal boys and girls
mature rapidly, and a boy of IA is as
old physically as boy of Is in more
northern countries, but it seems
strange that the hardy mountaineers
of Switzerland, where there is no such
excuse for child marriages. should set
such an early age for matrimony.
For really youthful marriages one
should go to Turkey. There the law
allows boy and girl who can walk
properly" and who understands the
meaning of the necessary religious
service to be united for life. In Bull
garia and Servia girls are allowed to
marry as soon as they cease to be
babies, and the girl who is not en-
gagged by the time she is 16 is con-
sidered hopeless old maid. In Amer
lea a woman never loses hope-nor a
man either.

Even then, unknown to the child, a
letter had been written to Calve ask
ing her to hear Edna sing.

anything NOR, than word of praise

that she should take time to listen to

vain hope. But Edna had a teacher
who knew that her pupil was genius
and for more than a year her one wish
has been that the child should sing for
a truly great artist
Something in the letter struck a
chord in Calves warm heart. She con-
scented. and on the very day of Edna's
dream the vision of the night was
partly realized.
