On the 29th of July, talking at Bar
Harbor to a New York World man,
William c. Whitney, for many years
one of the most conspicuous members
of the Democratic party, declared his
intention of staying out of politics
forever, and added:
1.-The trouble is that the Democrats
have no issue and no man.
That is the exact situation of the
Democratic party to-day, simply and
solely because of the five years of un-
equaled prosperity that have followed
the restoration of the Republican
party to the control of national af-
fairs. No man knows this better
than does President Cleveland's sec
rotary of the navy.
Few men have better reason for
knowing it, for few indeed have
profited more sumptuously than VIII
liam c. Whitney has in these five
years of protection prosperity. 1t is
because of the splendid issue-Pros-
perity-upon which the Republicans
stand before the country that Mr..
Whitney says 1.-THE Democrats have

Stood Dead in Doorway.

A Boston man who has just returned
from ruined ST. Pierre says that a
friend of hts who entered the city as
soon after the eruption as the fire and
heat allowed, spoke one evening of
entering a house in st. Pierre in an
endeavor to find the family's bodies.
There stood in the doorway a strange
man to whom he touched his hat as
he went in He found the family all
dead within, and, sickened by the
sight, made haste to come out again
In the doorway he again encountered
the stranger, and, thinking he might
mean some mischief, this time OBJ
served him more closely. He was

The Butchers and the Tariff.

"a few days ago the butchers, in
convention assembled, declared in
favor of abolishing the tariff on cattle
and meat to the end that this sup
posed shelter for the alleged meat
trust might be removed; but 1 am dis
posed to think the good farmers of
my state would vote unanimously
against such an experiment. By the
trend of the speeches made at the
butchers convention 1 discover q
sentiment well nigh universally ex-
pressed there that meat is being
monopolized by the great packers.
But l happen to have tenant out in
Iowa who has a fine bunch of cattle,
on which no packer holds a lien OF
any kind, and he writes me that he
is willing to sell them to butchers il
they will pay as much as the pack
ers offer. l am quite sure the people
would as soon buy this meat of the
butchers as of the packers. Thus
there is afforded a splendid oppor-
tunity for any one to make all kinds
of money if he will but give the
farmer as much money for his beeves
and give the people as much beef for

The West and the Tariff.

Frank M. Eddy, a Republican con-
gresham for the seventh Minnesota
district, confirms what the Record
Herald has said as to the sentiment
of western Republicans on the tariff.
He testifies that in his section of the
country there is a very strong feeling
In favor of revision, and he describes
the western idea of a protective tariff
as follows:
1T should not afford protection to
monopoly, that is, to an industry alb
solutely controlled by an individual, q
partnership, a corporation, or a trust,
nor to those industries that reduce
their employees to the conditions they
are protected against, but all indie
pendent industries should receive suf-
ficient protection to enable them to
compete on more than even terms
with similar ones in foreign countries.
Where our present tariff law fails in
any of these particulars, and it does
in many, it should be altered or
amended"
The idea, it will be observed, is in
no sense destructive of the protective
system, and the congressman adds
that what the western Republicans
want is not a general revision but a
reaQ1uStment OF those Scl0QuleS
which give q premium over and above
reasonable protection. This, we
believe, Is commonly desired among
them, and the desire has found ex-
preston, as Mr.. Eddy notes, in the
declaration of their state conventions.
Constituting his just analysis of the
tariff situation with his very san
guine predictions of Republican sue
cess next fall, there is this to be said:
Success If it is attained will be due
in no small degree to the platform
utterances to which he refers. They
have been the only effective answer
to, the Democratic demand for revis-
ion. and they are everywhere treated
as a party pledge that the tariff will
actually be revised by its friends for
the correction of its abuses, while the
principle of protection is kept invio-
late.
The Republican congressman who
are elected on this pledge will take
their seats a year from next Deem
Der. 1t would be excellent policy for
the present congress to anticipate
revision, but if it does not a year of
grace is pretty certain to be the limit

party will enjoy For the promises

use the term many. Fifteen years
ago he entered a clothing company's
employment and soon became one of
it's most trusted employees. Three
years later Matte May Lowe, the
daughter of family well known and
in comfortable circumstances, be-
came his wife. Two children were
born as a result of the marriage
Jean, now eleven, and Robert, now
nine years of age.
The Hately home, though not large,
was happy and filed with ordinary
comforts. Hately came from a good
family, one that knows how to live
well. His mother, Mrs. Thomas Hate
ly of No. Cross Row, Gateshead,
England, is reputed to be wealthy, but
Hately's nature was one of independ-
ence, and although frequently strug-
Cling against semi-poverty, he al
ways refrained from applying for as
sistance from his mother or from his
brother-in-iaw, E. F. Deright, a prom
inent safe dealer in Omaha.
His wife was always affectiOnate
and seemingly content in her posi-
ton, although her friends say she
sometimes sighed for more of the
worlds comforts than Hately was cap
able of giving her.
Hately a little over a year ago
moved to Newton, Mont, taking his
wife and two children with him. Pow
erty, gaunt and real, there overlook
him. He was no longer able to pro-
vide his wife with the comforts to
which she had been accustomed, and
he noticed that her affection for him
was rapidly departing. 1t was a still
greater grief for him when he dis
covered that her love had not only
been lost to him, but that her heart
had been won by another, Charles
Stierle, wealthy, manly and withal
honorable. Not a faint of suspicion
was directed against the wife. AL
though loving Charles Stierle and with
the former love for her husband dead
within her, she still followed the duty
of a wife and uncomplainingly chung
to him. But Hately saw.
1t was agreed that divorce should
be obtained by Mrs. Hately with Hate
ly's consent, so that she could wed her
new love. The divorce was granted
and Hately never uttered a murmur.
