cago embodying his views upon the sup
iect. in which he says:
~ can assure your readers at the out
cot that the cause of tariff revision, or.
strictly speaking, Canadian reciprocity by
means of tariff revision, has suffered no
setback through my own failure TO WIN
in the new Massachusetts congresslonai
district The chief result of the election
as far as it concerns my 1rlends anu me;
is to cause us to continue with renewed
vigor upon the policy of educating me
voters as to the necessity and benefits of
reciprocity.
Back of the imperative demand in this
state for tariff revision the business COM
munity stands solidly.
From now on the business men of New
England will work continually to educate
the voters to an appreciation of the i'm
portance of the issue of tariff revision.
The Hay-Bond contract, providing for
reciprocity with New Foundland. will re-
move if ratified. another club which the
Observation-Disclosures of the Dominion
might try to use against us. while the
President oil the United States is unquai
ifedly committed to a policy OF tarln re-
vision.
Looking broadly at the situation from
the New England point of view, the chief
obstacle to unanimous local endorsement
of Canadian reciprocity is the cry of al
fright from the highly protected hshing
interests of Gloucester. Secretary nay,
however, sees no menace to the New Eng
land fishermen in a new reciprocal trade
arrangement with New Foundland, In
fact | believe that is no good business
reason why the Glocester fishermen
should be allowed to stand in the way oi
a reciprocity treaty with Canada. Ger
tainly if there is any measure OF MUS
tice in propositions affecting the Glouces-
ter fisheries it is that this industry, use
full as it is, should be permitted indefinite
Nv to hold all the other commercial and
Industrial interests of New England at

A Dog at the Bottom Of II.

A gentleman and lady who were
driving in from the country one evening
recently had a most unusual expert
ence. 1t was one of those foggy nights
of last week when the moon was COM
pletely Obscured and darkness fol-
lowed dusk like a pail. 1t was a lonely
road and at times bushes on either side
rubbed against the wheels.
The horse was jogging cautiously
through this inky darkness when the
occupants of the team were struck all
but dumb by a voice which beloved
Hold on! Wait" and a pair of hands
seized the reins from one side over the
wheels. A few words We're exchanged
but the bold highwayman or would-be-
highwayman held the reins only a
small part of a minute, and the occu-
pants of the team although thoroughly
frightened started the horse to
brisk trot. 1t was then that repeated
shouts of stop! help! Call off your
dog!" came to their ears. The in
vestigation which followed revealed
that the faithful dog which had been
following in the wake of the team, had
been the sole cause of the strange turn
of events. He had grabbed the man
when the attack was made but still
held fast to his anatomy with a grip
which called forth groans, oaths and
pitiful pleas for mercy. will you get
out il I call off the dog?" was the
query. and there was no doubt Of the
sincerity of the You bet WILL" which
followed. But the dog took time to
consider the matter and only released
his hold when the whip was brought
into use.
1t is presumed that Mr.. Robber went
away back-and stood up.
