strange that good could be done only

They were standing thus when they
heard voice, the loud gruff voice be-
loning to the retired merchant-sk skipper
who kept the inn. He was rather a
rough customer, as indeed the quality
of his patrons rendered necessary; he
did not hesitate to throw a man out

lay a stick across the back Of the
saucy buxom daughter who served the
bar for him if her sauciness became too
pronounced. On the whole he was the
sort of character popular in the nau-
tical quarter of Fairhaven.
The loud voice came from a distance
from the bottom Of the stairs ap-
parently. The landlord was talking to
himself. for all that appeared-nO other
voice made itself heard. He was saw
ing that he had made a promise, and
that he was a man OF his word He
said this several times. Blake and ST.

came halfway UP the stairs. "A poor

emphasis. Still they could hear no
other voice and no other step. But
they had dropped one another's hands
by now, and stood quite still a couple
of PAGES apart.
"Oh, he's bargaining with some
body for the price of a bed!" said
young Blake with an attempt at light

The landlords steps were heard de-
scending the stairs again. And now
another step drew near.
Suddenly young Blake darted to-

and drove over the downs to Mill

violence. A thick rain was driven in
sharp spats against the closed win

The Recognition of Illinois.

Paul Morton of Illinois is to be
made secretary of the navy and he
will take charge next Friday, at which
time Secretary Moody will go to the
Office OF attorney general Mr.. Nor
ton halls from Chicago and is a son
of the late ]. Sterling Morton of Ne
braska, a man who was once IN Cleve-
lands cabinet, and was one of the
chief members of the staff of the Bur
lington at the time of the big loco
motive engineers strike.
He had not been mentioned as
among the prominent republicans of
Illinois, in fact he was hardly known
in his own ward as a politician. At
the state convention it was thought
that the name of every republican of
any standing at all in the state had
been mentioned, but never did we hear
whisper of the name of Paul Morton.
There was a search of the records
when his name was first sent on from
Washington and charged up to Illinois,
and then it was found that he was
second vice president Of the Santa Fe
railroad.
Anyhow, Illinois has a place in the
cabinet, and the state crowd can
hardly find reason to complain; but
as the Decatur Review remarks, the
chances are the federal faction is do
ing a little swearing behind shut
teeth.

Rule or Ruin Policy.

When President Mckinley undertook
in good faith to apply the section of
the Dlngley tariff law providing for
reciprocity with other nations ne was
but carrying out the mandate of the
Republican party. We know from Sen
ator Dolliver and others that in COM
piling that tariff bill rates OF duty were
purposely placed so high that the re-
duction OF 20 per cent provided for In
the reciprocity section would still leave
ample protection. Commissioner Kas-
son made reciprocity treaties with
France and other countries which al
lowed reduction of the duties on many
products imported from those cOun-
tries and n similar reduction on prod
ucts Of the United States exported TO
them.
The Des Moines Register. a Republic
an newspaper, which. however, favors
reciprocity. says. Senator Aldrich IS
the man who pigeonhOled all the Nc
Klnley reciprocity treaties to save an
unneeded tariff on the Rhode Island
imitation button business and who has
stood as a stone wall against any con
cession whatever to liberal trade poll
cies."
The American Economist, the protec-
ton organ, supported by the protected
industries. commenting on the above,
says, ut was n fortunate thing for
the Republican party and for the coun-
try that the whole bunch Of treaties
foolishly and ignorantly negotiated by
Commissioner Kasson were permitted
to expire through time limitation"
That is rather tough on the memory
of President Mckinley and his special
commissioner. Mr.. KassOn, who had
merely carried out the law I'm which
congress had directed such steps for
reciprocity to be taken. 1t is evident
that the high protection Republicans,
who are in control OF that party. are
determined TO rule or ruin. Rather
than have the sacred Dingley law
changed in any particular they de
nounce those who wish to revise il or
who I'm good faith attempted Ia put
the provision for reciprocity in force.
Those voters who believe in reciprocity
have evidently no place for them In
the Republican party as now consti-
tuted The tariff barons. the trusts
and combines have usuTped complete
control
