CHAPTER TX.
katherlne,a peeIaIon.


Joanna's wedding occurred az the
beginning Of the winter and the winter
festivities. But amid all the dining
and dancing and skating there was
political anxiety and excitement that
leavened strongly every social and
domestic event. The first Colonial
Congress had passed the three resolu-
lions which proved to be the key note
OF resistance and of liberty Jorls
had emphatlcally Endorsed It's action.
The odlous Stamp Act was TO be met
by the refusal Of American merchants
either to import English goods, or to
sell them upon commission, until II
was repealed. Homespun became
fashionable. The government kept It's
hand upon the sword, The people
were divided into two parties. bitterly
antagonlstic TO each other. The
"sons OF Liberty" were keeping guard
over the pole which symbollzed their
determination; The British soldlery
we're staggering and Boosting and
openly insulting patriots on the
streets, and the New York Gazette"
in flaming articles was stimulating to
the utmost the spirit OF resistance to
tyranny.
stlll in spite OF this home trouble
and in spite OF the national anxiety,
the winter months went with a de-
lIghtsome peace and regularity in the
Van Heemskirk household. Neil Sem
pie ceased TO visit Katherine after Jo-
anna's wedding. There was no
quarrel and no interruption to the
kindness that had so long existed be-
tween the families, but Neil never
again offered her his hand; and such
conversation as they had was con
strained, and OF the most conventional
character.
As Hyde grew stronger he spent his
hours In writing long letters to his
wife. He told her every trivial event
he commented on all she told him.
and her letters revealed to him soul
90 pure, so true. so loving, that he
vowed "he fell In love with her afresh
svery day OF his life."

Since the furious speculation in

BILE business methods in organizing

the public that they want something
of more value than water-soaked
stock certificates, and the security
clogged stock market, brought about
the wet-blanketing of new promo

the investing public of getting values
down to normal.

Lodges Reminder.

If many democrats shall read Sena-
tor Lodges speech in the senate yes
terday, there will be a decided check
to the>vogue of the Cleveland boom.
IT the democrats should nominate
Cleveland, his last administration
could be discussed. AS Senator Lodge
says, 1T was not an issue in the cam
paign of 1896, for the democrats under
Bryan, no more owned Cleveland than
did the republicans. They utterly dis
avowed responsibility for his admins
tration, speaking of it as that of a
man false to his party. Such consid-
eratlons as these are as blasting to the
Cleveland boom as would have been
that fake wireless telegram from
Bryan had it been genuine. The fake
had it that Bryan telegraphed from
the ocean to the democratic banquet
at Sherry's in New York not to for
get the western democrat who polled
100000 votes.
With that haunting "Reminiscences
always with them and the recollection
of what the republicans would do with
the mistakes of Cleveland, the demo-
Gratis are likely to be unhappy. So
long as they strive to reconcile the
Of Cleveland with the
of Bryan contentment can
not abide with them. %

The FRYE Bill.

Great opposition is developing in
the east to Senator Frye's bill relating
to the extension of the navigation\}a Jaws
to the Philippines. These laws do not
apply to the Philippines until July /.
1t has been so conclusively proved
that there is not enough shipping I'M
der the American flag ready to handle
the coast trade of the islands that SEN
ator Frye proposes that the navigation
laws SO, far AS they would apply to
this trade be further suspended. There
seems to be no opposition to this ex-
tension. w. ii 3 ~.
The Frye bill, however, leaves. I'M
changed the status of the trade be-
tween the United States and the Phil
navigation laws on July 1. This omis-
sion is calling forth vehement protests
from the Atlantic coast cities and the
shipping and mercantile interests that
center in them. They urge that the
bill should provide for further suspen-
sion of the navigation laws between
the United States and the Philippines,
as we'll as between the ports of the
Philippines. 49, The application of the
navigation laws simply means that
trade between the United States and
the Philippines shall be considered as
coastwise trade and must, therefore,
be carried in American vessels. . It is
asserted that there is notsH sufficient
american tonnage available for the
trade, and that the application of the
coastwise rule will simply cut off COM
munication between the United States
and the Philippines by driving out the
foreign vessels that now handle it and
without replacing them with American
vessels. The result would be, Of
course, that trade between the United
States and the Philippines would be
ruined. <....... .
No protests are forthcoming from
the Pacific coast, where the making of
the trade, between the United States
and the Philippines a coastwise trade
is hailed with satisfaction. It is re-
garded as proper step in building up
the American merchant marine. It is
thought there, too, that the effect of
the law will be to transfer the Philip
pine trade from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coasts.
