Parr coughed away sigh and, hav-

himself in the due course of his duty
in Murphy's cell. He assumed even q
sterner pose than usual, but there was
a ripple of light breaking through 1T.
an odd mixture of the aspect of dis
approving envoy from q rashly gener-
GUS sovereign, with a new pleasure in
giving pleasure instead of pain and the
conventional prison sense of humor at
the eccentric contrast of black and
white.
Murphy, who was always thinking
about the father and child, easily read
excitement in PARIS extra stolidity,
coupled with jerky movements and a
blank gaze at point in the wall ex-
actly above his own cropped skull. His
heart thumped his ribs but he looked
patient and good because he knew by
instinct that any effort on his part to
elicit condolences prematurely would
make the other perversely silent
Parr straddled moment in the CEN
ter of the cell, played with the chain of
the official baton at his side, with
which Murphy had more than once
been privily raped, uttered conven-
tional rebuke on the disorder of a pile
of sacks, then suddenly blurted out,
with a hoarse chuckle:
"She sends you her luv."
He laughed boisterously to cover his
embarrassment. The laugh for mo-
ment misled Murphy. All the jests that
had come his way from Parr had hith-
erto been cruel, even when not SO in
tended. He seowled accordingly,
"She didn't!i he said in a tone of pain
and outrage.

Murphy lost sight of invidious compar-
ison in relief at the depiaI. A trace Of
his lost brQgue reappeared as, staring
with eager eyes at Parr, he said under
his breath:

Parr nodded. Yes GIVE the pity

q sarcastic chuckle-" my love. dadda,'

Murphy was in reverie, with his big
head on his elinched fists. His hands
were most at home in this attitude, in
which indeed he mentally confronted
the universe. He began to repeat the
message to himself in several keys and
fashions.
"she sent her luv"-he tried the curt
official pronunciation, then widened 1T
wonderingly 'loeye her love" at
length contentedly, "to me, She did"
Parr assented patronizingly, swelling
his chest with an agreeable sense of
comforting favcrs and of having more
still in store which Murphy's mind was
far from grasping. Becoming impa-
tient of the latter's prolonged reverie,
he hemmed loudly. Murphy, perceiving

followed the second election OF
Grover Cleveland, and even if thei1
memory should prove to be slightly
defective on this point, the Repub-
lican party would take good care
that they should not forget. Should
there be a great financial disaster, a
relapse into the industrial condition
that prevailed during the four years
preceding the first election of Will
lam Mckinley to the Presidency,
there might be some danger of the
election of Democratic candidate,
even on a Free-Trade platform, but
of such disaster there is, fortunately,
no danger. The prosperity of the
country is based on the solid rock
of sound economic policy, and it
will stand. The American people
are not so weary of prosperity as to
long for poverty, and it will not be
next year or for many years, that a
Free Trade candidate will be elect
ed President of these United States.

was no chump, even If his feet did get

Democratic Hopes.

The fact that Governor Cummins
of Iowa Democrat converted to
Republlcanism on the financial
question, but whose eyes have not
yet been opened to the full Republi-
can gospels outspoken in his zeal
for lowering of Tariff schedules on
certain important articles, is hailed
as a further evidence that the Gown
try is ripe for new Tariff reform
campaign. But the Democrats do
not propose to fight openly for Free
Trade for Free-Trade's sake this
time. They propose to be- candid
enough to acknowledge that Pro-
lection has really done something
for the prosperity of the country,
but they will claim that its work has
been accomplished, and that the re-
moval of Protective duties is now
necessary to enable the people to
escape from the despotism of the
trusts. That seems to be the pro-
gramme outlined by Edward NJ.
Shepard in his address to the Iro-
quois Club at Chicago, and echoed
by the newspaper opponents of the
Cleveland cult throughout the coun.
try.
It's very pretty programme, but
it will not work, and even if il
should be accepted and ratified by
the Democratic national convention
next year it would be abandoned be

Raw Material.

A New England Democratic news
paper has recently plucked up cour-
age to explain the large number of
strikes in Massachusetts, by charg-
ing them up against the Dingley
Tariff. This raw idea. is that if we
had "free raw" Tariff, New Eng
land would boom. We now should
boom more but for conspiracies
against booming.
We had free raw material Tariff
from 1887 done to order by a
Democratic Congress. We then had
falling wages and failure of large
contingents to get any sort of a job.
Strikes for higher wages now and
strikes against reduced wages then
show that, whatever be the Tariff,
we cannot thereby arrest the ambi-
ton of the wage worker. In the
hard times which accompanied "free
raw MATERIAL" the worker rebelled
against lowering his standard of life.
In the good times which have attend
ed the Tariff that has cut off "free
raw MATERIAL" the worker now con-
tends for a vet higher standard.
Anybody who thinks that a bet
fer condition of things prevailed
from go to 81 under "free raw
material than now prevails under
the Protective system. must have
concluded that it is better for fell
low to be out of job because little
is doing than it is for one to be out
of job because he is waiting to see
who will bid the highest for his work.
Even if free material and falling
wages and enforced idleness were
accidental condolences, we should
take care to strengthen the girders
where we dropped.-Boston 'Jour-
nal"

FRIDAY, MAY IS, 1903,
Dangerous Pooling.

A Republican paper here and
there, as well as many Democratic
papers, assume that William b. Al
lison, of Iowa, means the Republi-
cans will frame Tariff bill in the
coming session of Congress SO as to
head off the Democratic attacks.
1t is safe 10 say that the Senator
has nothing of the sort in mind. If
any one thing in the national politics
of the country for the next twelve or
fifteen months can be said to be GER
tain, it is that the Republicans will
prepare no Tariff bill in the coming
Congress.
No changes in any of the Tariff
schedules will be made next winter
or next summer. The Tariff will re-
main precisely as it now is until
after the election, except as the
Cuban reciprocity treaty compels
slight change.
The Republicans are in easy con-
troll of both branches of Congress.
They know the peril of'fooling with
the Tariff Immediately before an
important election. Experience has
shown that the party responsiblefor
any Tariff tinkering at such time
has an excellent chance to suffer in
the ensuing election.
No chances will be taken by the
Republican party on this issue in
1904, Notwithstanding its prepond-
erance among the voters of the
country.
The Iowa Senator himself has
pointed out the danger of any fool
ing with the Tariff on the eve of an
election. AS he shows, there are
wide differences of opinion among
the representatives of the various
activities as to the rates of duty
which ought to prevail on certain
articles.
These Emergencies of view would
make the fight on the duties, if any
change at all were attempted, long
and disturbing. 1t might take four
or FIVE months for a Tariff bill to 60
through the Senate alone, and the
chances are that it would be altered
there as robustly as the Wilson bill
of 1894 was changed in the upper
body.
With Tariff fight under way in
Congress in the spring and summer
of 1904, the Republicans would be
seriously embarrassed, despite the
fact that they have an immense
dominance among the voters of the
country. -TrenRn Gazette.
