in his thoroughly American and patriotic
ideas, and we believe his leadership estab-
fishes confidence. both in the success Of the
republican principles and the continued
prosperity and progress Of the country. and

After the reading OF the platform J. A.
w. Smith OF Birmingham offered a sub
s%titute, the same as the original report
except that It omitted all mention Of en-
dorsement Of President Roosevelt for re-
nomination. The substitute was vigorously
debated and the convention was thrown
into turmoil. some OF the speakers up
held the substitute, declaring that Il was
too early to speak out on the campaign Of
1904. while others charged that an effort
was being made to knife a republican
president. Finally the roll was called
and the substitute was defeated, 15S to 146.
The platform also originally reported
was finally adopted, including endorsement
Of Roosevelt for the nomination in 1904.
The majority for adoption was large.
J, A. w. Smith OF Birmingham was nomi-

GERMAN TARIFF
RaltinnOre SIM

The report of Consul Monaghan of
Chennltz, on the rates of duty proposed
ny the German government on certain
foodstuffs in which American exporters
are interested, shows that the large in
creases of duty are unsatisfactory to the
agrarlans who have secured further in
creases. The present tariff rate on 22O
pounds Of wheat is SO cents. This the
government proposed to increase to 81 SO.
but the agrarians have forced an increase
to ST.. Barley gets the present duty of
AZ cents increased to 81. II. Bason, now
free, is saddled with a duty of SIS. 81 per
22O pounds; pork, S10.71; oleonargarine,
$19 .O4; starch, 81 .2S; fruits, 81. %. The
duty on butter is increased from Isl to
STA; eggs from IS cents to SLAB. The
agrarian tariff, in short. is the Dinghy
tariff over again-a Chinese wall that is
meant to prevent the importation of ar
t1cles IN which the German tariff lords are
interested. In this country, the manu-
.facturers have the making of tariff rates,
but in Germany the large land holders,
with their allies, dictate the rates, in
sisting that the agricultural interest shall
not continue to be sacrificed to the manu-
featuring interest. They have much to
say in defense of their position from the
domestic, point of view. If the farms
cease to pay and all profitable industry
centers in the towns, Germany may be-
come richer, but will be weakened by de-
pendence on foreign. countries for food
The agrarian idea is that the farmer, as
being the bone and sinew of the nation, is
the man to be "protected.' e.

BY MURDER.


began to plan a singular thing. It was
singular because he was an honest man
and a man. Of nlerciful heart. He planned
a burglary, followed by a murder. On
the Edgeware road, a mile beyond his
place of business, was villa occupied by
two old maid sisters. They were fairly
rich, but from motives Of economy did
not keep a servant. Their name was
Swift, and Sharpless had been called to
the house several times to make repairs.
On his last visit, which was to repair a
ceiling, he had overheard a conversation
going to prove that there was quite a sum
of money in the house and that the sum
might not be invested for month Or so.
+, Why he should have thought of crime he
could not say; why he should have
thought of these particular persons was
just as much of an enigma. AS he lay
there Wooing sleep he lost his identity
and became a burglar. In imagination he
started from the house with his coat col
lar turned up and his hat pulled down
over his face and armed with short
crowbar for forcing doors. In the walk
of mile he met no pedestrians, but he
encountered two policemen, and each one
of them gave him a sharp looking over.
In fact, one of them seemed inclined to
accost him and ask the reason of his
presence there at such an hour. The bells
were striking midnight as he reached the
villa He entered the grounds by climb
ing the wall at the back, and was careful
to avoid the gravel paths andsthe flower
beds. He found the back door and win
dows safely locked, but after carefully
working away for ten minutes he had the
window up and crawled through into the
kitchen: He knew the lay, of the house,
and he got down on hands and knees and
crawled across the floor, down a hall and
into the sitting-room. In this room stood
an old fashloned mahogany bureau, and
ne argued that the, money would be kept
there If still in the house When he had
presented his, bill for repairs, one of the

and should not be; that there Is no par
allel between the dollar and stock value.
He admits the theory IS plausible, but
insists that it is out of the question be-
cause stock must fluctuate on its earn
ing value, and cites stocks which could
not be bought at par. Perhaps the critic
takes the proposition too literally. Stocks
representing property value appreciate or
depreciate. That is inevitable, Of course,
and is the result of various causes, one
Of which is management. But that is no
reason why the principle of sound stocks,
stocks worth at the outset what they pur-
port to be worth,.is not good, and that is
all that is contended for. Unquestion-
ably one. Of the greatest evils of our COM
mercial life to-day. is cheap stocks, the
term being used in the same sense in
which we speak Of cheap money-money

staged and acceptably acted sergeant

class that has been seen at the Bijou this
season. Whoever Mr.. Walter may, be, and
his name Is yet unfamiliar he has turned
out an excellent piece of work in this
drama. one that augurs we'll for what may
come later, and he has. fortunately, placed
1t with manager who has not stinted
himself in the matter Of production
1t may be said of Sergeant James that

their successful rivals. The parallel might
be carried even further, but whether this
resemblance is accidental matters little
for the minor details Of Mr.. Walters plot
are his own. and he has developed his
stage story in most pleasing fashion.
The scenes of Sergeant James are laid
in Montana. Its characters are army men,
the officers of a mining corporation and
their families Its motif is the pure love

The play is still new and it's first act
needs retouching. The incidents Of this
act have little bearing upon the plot, and
their importance has been somewhat ex-
aggerated, yet the comedy is good and
though merely preparatory, the act does
not drag In the latter part of the play
Mr.. Walter has handled his incidents with
a fine sense of proportion. His story is
evolved naturally, easily, and plausibly,

admirably fitted, both in appearance and
