was now in order. Mr.. Mckinley In the
White House and Mr.. Dingiey inethe House
of Representatives were authorities on the
tariff, and were in full agreement. What
was done had their direction and sanction.
The Dingiey law has accomplished all
that was promised in it's name. Its enact
ment was promptly followed by revival
of business, an increase in prices. and
widespread prosperity. In the five and a
half years of it's existence conditions have
so changed that 1t is difficult to contrast
do not suggest exaggeration. Then there
was mot hing doing in the business world.
Now it is almost impossible to- supply what
the markets at home and abroad are de-
manding. No such profits were ever
reaped before, and the great tide shows no
signs of turning.
The Dingley law. as we see. then. was
drafted for conditions which needed stimu-
lation. Protection was the remedy, and
the remedy was applied. The country In
dorsed the trea tment in the election OF
republican House in 1898, in the reelection
of Mr.. Mckinley, and in the election OF
republican House last November. The
remedy has acted like a charm. But
should it be continued in the original doses
now that the patients are strong again. and
some of them able to do without it alto
gether? Is it not the part of wisdom to
look the situation of today squarely in the
face, just as we did that of 1897, and act
as courageously now we ibid then?

From the Richmond Dispatch

From the Richmond Dispatch
The action Of the Rou1nanian senate in
voting to extend the right Of naturalization
to the downtrodden Jews of that country
is regarded in official circles in Washington,
1t Is stated, as distinct triumph for Ameri-
can diplomacy. If it means what it ap-
pears to mean it is more than that. 1t is
a distinct triumph for civilization and hui
mainly, and, all the facts behind it consid-
cred, 1t evidences potent moral influence of
this country with the great powers of Eu-
rope. The State Department, by skillful
diplomacy, quiet persistency and moral
pressure, has Influenced the sponsors for
Roumania to force the latter to do Justice
to the Jews, and thus achieved another
great victory for humanity, progress and
religious liberty.

The Discouraged Litterateur.

I'd like to write a sailors song,
But can't, because my mind
Is filled with an aversion strong
For phrases underlined.
I'd have to write of "Yo, heave ho!'
That phrase you're bound to quote;
But ere I start I'd like to know
What "yo" and "ho' denote.
Toward an historical romance
would incline my pen,
But then / fear to take chance
And so am foiled again.

I've puzzled DER such books,

The frauds in the postoi.ce de-

is no more surprising that an occa-

Ono Step Forward In q Great Reform.


The Ohio Republican state con-
vention which has just adjourned
was ruled by remarkable men
Hanna, Foraker and Grosvenor.
They not only possess the full conf
dence Of the people OF Ohio, but they
possess the implicit confidence Of
the President OF the United States.
There is cloud 10 bigger than IA
mans hand which Is slowly rising
over the politics OF our country.
That cloud may be rendered larger
or smaller by the wise and timely
action Of our national government.
Seven southern states have prac.
tically DISTINGUISHED their colored
voters, so that the inevitable effect
is that one white voter in those
states is as influential in marking
out our national policy as five white
voters in the north. In republic
such gross injustice as this cannot
be permitted, and If long continued
will destroy our democratic COVER
ment.
We are gratified beyond measure
that the mighty common wealth OF
Ohio has taken hold of this problem
through its chosen representatives;
they are pointing out to the nation
that there is only one mode by which
this villuinous injustice can be rec
titled, and that is to reduce the repre-
sci tation in Congress of those belli-
cose states which are trampling upon
the la VS. and the constitution of the
United States. The following is the
Ohio pronunciamento, Freemen,
read it. and thank God that there is
party in this country which Will
not permit the constitution Of the
United States, which is the su
preme law Of the land, to be rejected
and treated as if it were Of no ac-
count Here is the noble aud en-
phatic resolution of the Republicans
ments of John sherman, Salmon =.

Grosvenor, Senators Foraker and
HANNA and that foremost Of all

Theodore Roosevelt, the executive
of the greatest nation on the face of
the earth:
"Ohio was the first state with soil
forever free from the stain of slavery.
1t was foremost in the war TO prove
the indestructible union of indie
structible states" and adheres firmly
to every amendment which that war
wrote into our country's constitution
as binding in honor upon every
American citizen Therefore we
hold fast to the doctrine of equities
everywhere in the exercise OF the
elective franchise, maintaining that
Justice requires any state excluding
any Of its citizens from the ballot 20
be proportionately reduced in its
representation in the electoral coll
lege and the lower house of the
national Congress. From its earliest
day the Republican party has ac-
complished great results in the state
and nation, and without resting upon
its laurels, has continually pressed
forward to new duties. Unremit-
tingly it seeks to establish whatever
is safe, wise and truly progressive.

patriotic purposes it invites most
