AMBASSADOR PAID BET.
PaLncefote Lost the Champagne to
Washington Detective.

faLncefofe Lost the Champagne to
washington Detective.
The late Lord Pauncefote. who for
years served as British minister to the
United States, always entertained a
very high opinion of the District de-
tective force, says the Washington
Post In fact, he believed it was
better even than that of Scotland
Yard, and the manner in which he
formed this view makes a very inter
esting story. During the latter part of
one spring some four or more years
ago his lordship and family decided ID
leave the city for a summers sojourn
on the seacoast, and the diplomat sent
word to Chief of Police Sylvester re-
questing that he send up one of his best,
detectives to assist and advise him as
to the best plan for making the house
secure against burglars.
Pursuant to request the major sent
one of his best men, and when he ar
rived his lordship took him in to where
he had locked the silverware in very
strong, but rather old fashioned, safe.
the door of which lacked a combina-
ton and was secured by lock and key.
Pointing to this safe, Lord Pauncefote
exclaimed that he would like to see
the thief or burglar who could break
into it and steal the plate within. The
detective eyed the large iron vault for
a few minutes and then said:
Yes, it is very strong piece of
work, but, nevertheless, I'll bet you
bottle of champagne that | can enter
this house without coming through a
door or window and open that safe in
less than five minutes" The British
ambassador took the bet at once, PROM
ising more than one bottle of cham
payne if the detective could make good
his boast within the time specified SO,
while his lordship held his watch, the
detective proceeded TO business.
When he first entered the mansion.
the detective had noticed that the cell
lar gratings We're unsecured, and. going
outside he opened one of them, drop
ped down into the basement and, COM
ing up the kitchen stairway, was soon
in the room in which the iron vault
containing the silver plate was located.
This of itself fairly took the breath of
the distinguished diplomat, but when
the detective took from his pocket a
skeleton key and at one turn opened
the massive doors of the safe Lord
Pauncefote was ready to confess that
he was beaten and promptly paid the
bet.

The following editorial which we
ilp from the Parkersburg Daily News
we believe is expressive of the true
sentiment of the Herald readers and
worth their reading. At least it has
the true ring of Republican policy in
the matter OF the tariff. The question
Of tariff is business proposition
which needs to be handled from bus
insss stand point and III business

business world may demand a change
in tariff rates along certain lines, but
the principle of protection remains. if
our industries and orr mechanics and
iaborers are to be safe guarded. Read
il.
President Roosevelt in his Logans-
port speech has clear and full expo
sition of has views on the tariff and
it is needless to say that his views
are in perfect accord with those
of James G Blaine and Vim. McKin-
ley and other great protection leaders.
The keynote of President Roosevelt's
tariff speech was well expressed in
this sentence: 'Wnat we really need
in this country is to treat the tariff as
business proposition. and not from
the stand point of the temporary needs
of anv political party" In that SEN
tence the President expressed the pol
lev of the Republican party. The
present tariff is business proposition
and concerns the business of the Unit
ia States, projecting American labor
from the equal competition of those
who employ cheaper labor abroad
where the American standards of liv-
ing are not maintained in the ranks of
labor fhe business success of the
Dingley tariff as shown in the volume
of business which is represented by
the bank clearings amounted to S45. =

cratic Wilson German tariff. and Sll4,
O00, 600 600 or more than two and one
half times as much in the year 1901 un-
der the Dingley tariff. The Republi-
can party has always maintained that
tariff schedules should be changed with

lection principle should be maintain
and that no changes should be made
