SHAW AND THE TARIFF

Secretary Shaw made an admira-
BILE speech here. devoid OF mud-sling-
ing and from the high standpoint OF
"A gentlemen who was a student.
But it should be remembered that
Governor Shaw is "a stand-patter OF
the most pronounced and radical
type, and that he is "A high protective
tariff advocate. II should also be
remembered that Gov. Cummins, OF
his own State; Ex-Governor La
Toilette, OF Wisconsin, and Others,
all Republicans. differ with Secretary
Shaw, and, therefore, il even the Re
publicans are divided on the tariff
matter why is it that Secretary
Shaw or anyone else can see any
great Offense or objection to the
Democrats taking issue with the
high-protectionists? BY the way,
Secretary Shaw was i'll great error
when he said Grover Cleveland was a
freetrader Mr. Cleveland u for a
tariff for revenue only, and a great
and highly endorsed Republican has
said that anyone who is infavOr OF a
tariff for revenue only is for a pro
tective tariff to some extent, for in
order to raise this revenue by this
tariff it is absolutely necessary to
have some protection. SO by the
mouth Of neutrality-suspicious.
of the most pronounced type-they
are converted.

CALLING DOWN SECRETARY SHAW

Secretary Shaw must have thought he
was speaking to a gullible audience in
Alexandria last night, when. in speaking
OF the tariff question, he said that not a
man within the sound OF his voice, unless
he used tobacco and liquor, paid more
than fifty cents year to the support OF
the general government. Why there
was not man present if he wore a two
dollar hat, who did not pay more than
that on that one article, to say nothing
OF what he pays on his clothing, shoes,
food and medicine.-Alexandria Gazette.

MR.. ROOSEVELTAND NEW YORK
POLITICS.

MFR. Roosevelt's absolute refusal to
have anything to dowith New York ;

the entire approval of everyone. cN-
cept, perhaps, few Republican po-
litical leaders in that city who. des-
perate over the outlook and assured
of Mr.. Wins defeat for mayor. APP
pealed To the President TO Use his
personal influence in an effort to
whip the Republicans OF New York IN

would i'll become the President OF the
United States. who SO long as he
holds office is the head OF all the peo-
pie, rather than the head OF any po-
litical party, even though he may be
and is the leading member OF that
party. AS President of the United
States it is plainly his dutyt let the
people OF each city decide for them
selves, uninhuenced by the great
power OF the President, what Is best
for them and theirinterests. We did
not believe that Mr. Roosevelt would
adopt any other course and We de-
sire TO give him full credit for having
refused to use the office of President
or his own personal influence as
President TO further the schemes OF
New York city politicians. Many Re
publicans in New York city will vote.

not desire to bring about. On the

 The Shah is officially known as the son of the sun and the assistant super intendent of the sidereal system, but his daily walk and talk do not altogeth- CT bear cut these titles. He is some what difficult to adjust to the 'condi- lions of western civilization.
 It Is not known how many of his wives will accompany His Majesty and his melancholia, but he is always on the lookout for additional partners of his bosom and his pleasant Oriental fashion of offering to buy any lady who takes his fancy will tend to pre- serve Mir. Root from ennui during the imperial visit.
 The Secretary of State will also have in cheerful remembrance the circum- stance that during his visit to London the Shah became displeased with a number of his suite and proposed to chop his head off in accordance with the Persian custom, being dlssuaded only by the most energetic efforts of Lansdowne.
 The practice of butchering small ami mals in the royal apartments to fur nish meat for the imperial table is also likely to cause strained relations be- tween the State Department and the , hotel-keeper in whose establishment the Persian party is quartered. The prospect is such that MT. Root may well regret that he gave up the peacca- ble and profitable pursuits of the law for the gilded slavery of diplomatic du- ties. s

LOSES LARGE SUM IN BATHING
 :# HOUSE.
one Hundred and Four Dollars Stole

One Hundred and Four Dollars Stolen
 from George Cripps Yesterday.
 George F. Cripps, the Commerce street liverynan is to-day mourning the loss of $104, which he lost while in bathing at Savin Rock.
 Late yesterday afternoon, acconpa- nied by. a friend, Henry Salisbury, he hired a room at Cox's bathing pavilion, and domingo bathing suit, he left $1OO in his street clothes. While enjoying his dip MT. Cripps mentioned to his friend the fact that he had quite a sum of money. in his clothes and won- dered if it was safe. Just then he look ed up, and saw man open his room, go in, and hurry right out again. He proceeded as quickly as possible to the room, and there discovered that the money was gone. The man, who wore a bathing suit, was, however, no long CT in sight. Two gold watches which were also in the room were not taken.
 MT. Cripps is very indignant over the matter and said last evening: "The locks on the bathing houses are very simple and almost any key will fit them, as a result there are many losses of money and other valuables, none being as large as mine, of course. I hold MT. Cox personally responsible for my loss, and will take proceedings against him."

THE OLD sATI, LING SHIPS.

The sailing ship when knew her in the days of her perfection was a sensible creature. When say her days of perfection mean perfection of build, gear, sea- worthy qualities and ease of handling, not the perfection of speed. That quality reached it's high-1 est excellence in the discovery of hollow lines and departed with the change of building material.
 None of the ships of yesterday ever attained the nlarvels of speed which the seamanshio of men famous in her time had obtained from their wooden copper sheathed predecessors. Every thing had been done to make the iron ship perfect, but the will of man had managed to devise an efficient coating. composition to keep her bottom clean with the smooth clearness of yellow metal sheeting. After a spell of few weeks at sea an iron begins to lag as if she had grown tired too soon. It is only her bottom that is getting foul.
 A very little affects the speed of a ship that is. not driven on by an untir- ing propeller. Often it is impossible to tell what ificonsiderate trife puts her off her stride. A certain mysterious ness hangs around the quality of speed as it was displayed by the old sailing ships commanded. by competent naviga- ors Tn those days the speed was still matter for .tbe8seamarl's care. There- fore, apart from the laws, rules and regulations for the good preservation of his cargo. he. was careful of his load-. ing, of what is technically called the trim of his ship: Some ships sailed best on an even keel others had to be trimmed quite one foot by the stern, and I have heard of q ship that gave her best speed. on a, wind when so load cd as to float a couple Of inches by the head.-Josephy Conrad in Harper's Weekly. <a.eS {Ei.s..sa I ,l 93,&.f!s

GROUPINGS.

For to-day the schedule is: New Ha- ven at Holyoke, Springfield at Bridge port, New London at Hartford, Norwich at fMeriden. :sV
 Gessler, scout for the Brooklyn Ma tional league team, was present at the Hartford-NeW Haven game at Savin Rock on Monday. According to Man ager Danaher, he came to watch the playing of Lenox, the local shortstop.
 1t was a hard game for the New Ha- vens to lose yesterday, but it was not so heart-breaking as the defeat that Norwich suffered at the hands of Mer- iden. After. holding the Silverites to zero for eight innings the Rosebuds' pitcher handed over the game on a sil- yer platter by allowing his opponents to score six runs in their last session at the bat.
 Hartford again lost a game in which they outbatted their opponents in the Holyoke contest yesterday.
 New Haven and Norwich continue to stand off from. each. other at the dis tance of seven paces. Seven, by the way, was ono of the charmed numbers among the ancients. Wonder if the spell will break to-day?

SLIGHT ACCIDENT.

A slight accident occurred at the
 White City last night: As one of the ears on the scenic railway was slowly rounding tic curve at the end of the
 line an obstruction on the tracks caus-
 ed it to leave the rails and topple over a little SO o5Athat several persons were spilled out and slightly shaken up. Tn the car were Florence Cundell and John Cundell, little children of Manager cundell. Florence ripped on the plat form when she was toppled out and in falling struck her head against the rail- ing so that she bled. A man fell on lit tie John, who is but six years old, and wrenched his right arm. They will
 both be about again to-day.
