THE biggest, shrewdest insergent OF
the bunch, Senator VIM. Finn, has
pulled himself out Of the camp and out Of
politics entirely, having resigned his
place on the city and county committees,
and his seat in the State Senate. Finn
was the brains Of the insurgent camp,
and without his leadership what is left of
the outfit goes to pieces. He blamed his
withdrawal from politics on a pressure
of private business, but the probability is
that he recognized the uselessness Of fur
ther attempts to disrupt tile Republican
party, and got ont at the earliest oppor-
tunity. Selah

IT was regarded as sensational epi-
sode and so treated by the newspapers
that rich woman should land in New
York one day last week, bringing $4,000
worth of Paris finery, on which she
promptly paid duties amounting to over
200. 1t does not appear that she COM
planned of delay or mislreatmeut at the
hands Of the customs inspectors. People
who honestly declare their dutiable ar
ticles seldom find any reason for COM
plaint, But isn't 1t curious that the
ne Nspapers should treat as sensational
episode the fact that rich woman vol
unfairly obeyed the law and paid the
duties that the Government was entitled
to re Give? Is it because the difference
between this rich woman and many
other rich women is that this ono paid?-

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.
Illustrated in the Daring of Lumber
men Engaged In breaking
Up u Log jam.

One of the most thrilling battles
in the history of the American indus
try is told in an article in Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, on the
greatest jam in the history of log
cling. Affairs were desperate in
deed.
THAT settles my $4,000 housed"
said one lumberman. Twenty dol
lars month is good enough for me
now"
One firm alone refused to yield.
They were the owners of driver No.
4, the employers of John Walsh, and
had retained the generalship during
the long battle. A last stand was Of
fered.
"Boys," said the two members of
this firm, 'if she starts to go, save
yourselves the best you can. Never
mind the driver, stay on top!"
And SO the tug and the driver crept
slowly up the boiling water under
the jam.
A pile was placed in the carriage,
| the manner u6aCSHuCO' nv INV
logs commenced to shoot out of the
water end foremost all around them
The pile had been driven into the
foot of the jam, so loosening timbers
at the bottom of the river. Luckily
none of them hit either of the boats
souarely, or the craft would have
been stove in and sunk. The fault o.
position was remedied, and the worl
begun.
Four times the jam quivered. Foul
times it paused again on the brinl
of discharge.
"one more'll hold herl" said Walsh
anxiously.
The pile was placed. Without de
lay the heavy chains were throw
around the winch, and the stear
power began to draw the clump to
gether. On the other side of the lit
tie channel the tug lay moored for
and aft. John Walsh stood on tn
boom coolly tying the last cumbel
some knot of the system of defense
Clark Deremo, all alert, grasped tn
spokes of the wheel. In the engine
room, Norris, his hand on the throf
tie, stood ready to throw her wild
omen at the signal. A man at elite
end watched the owners upraise
hand, prepared to cut the inoorin
lines when it should descend.
