AN UNRULY ASSISTANT.


F1ied among the correspondence of
the Lighthouse Board at Washington
are TWO brief epistles the dates of
which show that the first was written
about six months before the second.
Ihey look precisely like any ordinary
business correspondence, they were re-
ceiVed in good faith by the board. and
no one. reading them casually. would
suspect what a tale of domestic woe
hahgs thereby. An inspector. making
MS usual rounds, discovered the facts
An lrishman named McFadden had
charge of lighthouse near ono of tho
iake ports. He was small, wiry Der
son OF ABOUT 30 pounds in weight. His
wire more than made up for anything
that ne lacked in size or muscle for

2oo pounds. She was, moreover. the
possessor OF a violent temper, and

his outies at the lighthouse were
somewhat arduous, SO when Mrs No.
Fadden happened to be in n nIoosan+
frame OF mind, she sometimes belped
her rather inefficient partner " ith the
lamps She learned one day that her
huspand was entitled to an assistant
OF MS own choosing. and she supqest.

DO appointed TO draw the comfortable
saiary. Mr. McFadden, however
promptly objected, saying that he was
cer'ain that the board would never
give the position to a woman.

MT. McFadden reluctantly sent in the
applcation, and in due time al Nc.
faadeh was regularly appointed first
assistant at the lighthouse. The nros.
pect OF the salary brought ioy to tbe
assistants heart, and all went VOL, o..
a time.
After while, however, Mrs. Nc.
Fadden, always trying person to
i've with, became so independent on
the strength of her separate income
that poor McFadden found life with
her entirely insupportable. Affairs
reached climax one day when the
stalwart Jane laid her superior officer
across her knee, and in the presence
of visitors deliberately spanked him
with the hair brush.
McF'adden, of course, was unable
physically to retaliate, but mentally he
proved fully equal to the occasion. Re.
tirinS to the lighthouse tower, where
he was safe from intrusion. he wrote
the following letter:
ITO the Lighthouse Board.
"Gentlemen-I respectfully request
that my assistant, ]. McFadden, be re-
moved for disobedience and insubordi.

Patrick McFadden."
AS the lighthouse keeper had been |
the judge of the fitness of his own as. |
sistant in the beginning. the board saw
no reason why he should not now be a |
proper judge Of insubordination, 50
his request was granted.

The report of the United States
Treasury of May % shows the excess
of expenditures for the month to date
to be S53.676,797. That amount in
cludes $4,000, 600 paid for the Panama
canal and S1O,OOO,O0O to the govern
ment of Panama for the right of way.
Deducting the $50.O0O,00O thus paid,
the government has run behind for the
25 days of May $3.678.797. For the fls-
cal year-namely, from July l, 1903,
to the same date-the excess of eXpen-
ditures is SOL ,219,225, which would in
dicate that the deficit of revenue over
expenditures will approximate sixty
millions by June 80, the end of the fis-
cal year.
AS the appropriations for the fiscal
year 1904-5 exceed those for the pres
ent term and the receipts from GUS
toms and internal revenue are decreas-
ing. there is no doubt that deficit
will be created for the next fiscal
year of a large amount. The outlay
for building the Panama canal will be
covered by an issue of $150,OOO,0 900 Of
bonds, which may have to be increased
to a much greater amount before that
great work is completed, but as it will
take from eight to ten years, the finan-
cial end, however. will have to face
either reduced appropriations or an
increase of taxes, unless business con-
ditions revive and the receipts Of the
government become larger. As there
was no general river and harbor bill
included in the last appropriations nor
any new public buildings authorized,
the next Congress will be, at least,
called upon to appropriate for such
of these improvements as are needed.
1t is also assured that If the Re-
fblicans control the next Congress
at large appropriations for ship
psidy will be made and perhaps a
lther drain ON the revenues by dis
minating duties for the same pur-
be. Those voters who believe in rea-
liable public expenditures and an
hest and economical administration
the government and who do not
brove of subsidies to favored inter-
). should question candidates for
hgress as to where they will stand
sthese and kindred expenditures.

Thought She Couldn't Live.

MOravia. n. Y. June 6-Mr. Benja-
min Wilson, highly respected resi-
dent of this place, came very nearly
losing his wife, and now that she is
cured and restored to good health his
gratitude knows no bounds. He says:
'My wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors, but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could not
live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to 130 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use DOdd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 100,
is well and feeling stronger every day.
"She used to have rheumatism so
bad that it would raise great bumps
all over her body, and this is all gone,
too.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send
to those who suffer as my wife did.
They are all that saved her. We can't
praise them enough"

are idle in Philadelphia alone.
But the last straw that has about
broken the back of the league is the
demand of the National Manufacture
ers' Association for tariff tinkering.
They want flexible tariff schedules to
promote reciprocity. Just think of the
ingratitude of these manufacturers!
After years Of coddling by the league,
| aided by Republican Congresses, with
the home market turned into their
laps, so that they have charged the
| whole American people about what
they like for their products, they are
not satisfied and cry for more pap,
these infant industries. They now de-
mand the foreign markets which the
league, tariff expert that 1t Is, knows
that the home and export trade are in
compatible under the protection sys-
TEN.
The officers and members of the Pro-
tective Tariff League look careworn
and do not have the jaunty and pros
porous look that the vast prosperity
that protection was supposed to give
them should inspire. Can it be posi-.
BILE that the Dingley bill. though every
schedule was written by or for the
trusts and protected monOpolies. is not
fulfilling its mission of giving SPECIAL
privileges to the few at the expense
of the many?
If the few-the beneficiaries Of the
tariff-are not satisfied with the plum
der they are receiving and the many
are determined to uproot the system,
no wonder the faces of the tariff
league wear lean and hungry look
these days. They feel that tariff re-
form Is in the air and that even Re
publicans are tired of paying tribute
to the trusts through the high cost Of
living
The housekeeper of moderate purse
will not be enthused by the announce
ment of President Baer of the coal
trust that he intends to advance the
price Of coal to all the consumers will
pay, and this was corrOborated by
President Thomas OF the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, who said that conditions
forbid any reduction in price. The
Roosevelt administration has not taken
any steps to stop the exactions Of the
coal trust.
