DEFENSE OF THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Man Points Out q Few
Facts Generally Overlooked.

As a matter Of fact, 1t is obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men, for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime Is wife murder. How
could a single man murder his wife?
There are 775 wife murderers in the
United States every year, and all are
committed by married men. Again,
consider the crime of demonicide, or
mother.in.law killing. Its practice is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser felonies and mis-
demeanors. How could a single nan
elope with his wife's sister? How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he firt with his wife's maid? How
could he be accused Of n~on.support7
What incentive Is there for him to
cheat the gas meter. swindle the in
stalment man or rob his b~rother-in-
law at poker? Being prosperous, well
fed and happy-as all bachelors are
why should he steal, forge, embezzle,
burgle or flght?-Baltimore Sun.

The Tariff Not to Blame.

The New York Evening Post and
other perennial free trade papers are
pointing to the tariff as the cause of
the present disturbance In the COM
mercial world. Should the Gulf Stream
be suddenly Jared out OF its course
or the Milky Way become ~impassably
obstructed the professional tariff rip
per would Immediately rear back on
his hind legs and belch forth a heavy
volley Of anathema against the tariff.
The Dingley tariff law has accom-
plished hundreds of thousands of times
more for this country than its trainers
ever dreamed. The function Of a tar
iff-the raising Of public revenues and
the creating Of a home market-have
been fulfilled until the degree Of pros
perity which the American people have
enjoyed under the present law has had
no parallel throughout all the history
of the civilized world.
Is the tariff responsible because a
man spends more money than he
makes, or contracts obligations which
he cannot fulfill?
Is the tariff responsible because
shortened crops in various parts Of the
world increase the cost OF living in all
parts of the world?
Is the tariff responsible because a
coterie of frenzied financiers meet be.
hind closed doors Of a room on Wall
street and capitalize new enterprises
beyond all reason, and because the
people who are anxious to get rich

never make good?
In response to the hysterical clamor
which has been going on for several
years congress will probably under.
take some revision of the tariff-after
the next presidential election-but II
that revision is undertaken on the
basis of the demands of the average
professions. tariff ripper this country

Sheen herder,s pou.

"A good dog is better than a dozen
men out on the sheep ranches of the
west" said j. II. Dayton. a veteran
sheepman Of Montrose. Col. The
sheep business without dogs would be
very expensive. Taken when very
young, the dogs are trained to fol-
low sheep and hunt them when they
go astray. The dog will climb cliffs
where a man cannot 60, find a stray
sheep and bring 1t down. II 1t were
not for the dogs there would be many
instances OF the ninety and nine,' only
it would be more like nine than
ninety.
zone herder usually takes about
1000 sheep and two dogs. The herder
is armed with a good gun The GUS
tom is to round up the flock every
night and have n particular place
for SHELTER. The sheep are anxious to
get together, for they seem to realize
that 1t is for their safety. The herder
has a tent and sleeps close to his fock.
II there is a disturbance at night the
dogs are the first to discover 1t, and
at once set out to find the enemy. In
many ways they are more valuable
than men,"

The Best Of All Markots,

We are now buying cotton goods to

In ten years time this additional
market will be worth fully 500, 900, 900
or more a year. And let 1t be remem
bered that in supplying this market
we create innumerable other markets
for every article Of food, shelter, cloth
ing and luxuries that would be re-
quired by such operatives and those
dependent on them. The increase Of a
home market is simply an endless
chain. II our foreign sales increase at
the same time, a s they undoubtedly
will, well and good, but let us first see

let us treat all nations alike and buy

IMPORTANCE OF THE COMMA.
Getting Punctuation Mark In Wrong
Place May Cause Trouble.

Some lawsuits Of the highest i'm
portance have hinged upon the right
placing Of a comma" said Judge F. G.
Downing of st. Louis.
when l first started to practice
law a Missouri editor came ~ me In
a peck Of trouble to Ndofend him
against a threatened libel suit grow
ing out of faulty punctuation. He
had not meant to give some innocent
young woman the slightest offense
when he wrote a story about two
young men who went with their girls
to attend a lecture and after they left,
the girls got drunk Putting that mis-
cradle little comma out Of its right
place did the work, as 1t made the
girls the ones who became inebriated
instead of their escorts. l managed
by proper diplomacy and the publica-
ton of a neat apology to stave of
the damage suits, and afterward my
editorial friend became an expert on
punctuation"

Free Traders Could Do Il.

The tariff ought to be kept in poll.
tics so long as there is a custom
house.-Lewiston (Me.) Sun.
Right you are. The tariff will stay
in politics as long as that, and much
longer. too. The Sun will help to
keep 1t in politics by so much as 1t
helps to keep alive Democratic hatred
Of protection. Keeping the tariff in
politics has been OF vast value to the
American people. 1t has kept the pro-
lection party in control of national af-
fairs for a long term Of years, and af.
forded the country the opportunity OF
taking the lead of the world In wealth,
in progress and In prosperity. There is
not the slightest prospect of keeping
the tariff out Of politics. Free traders
could do 1t by ceasing to be free trad
ers. 1t could be done in no other way.

TARIFF PLANK OF 1895.
Proof Of Mr.. Bryan's Facility for
Changing Issues.

Mr.. Bryan continues to ASSERT that
among the virtues Of the Democratic
platform of 1896 was a plank declaring
in favor Of a tariff for revenue only"
Does he forget, or only wish to con.
ceal, the true story of that plank?
In 1896 the Democratic tariff plank
omitted the word only" The omis.
sion was not a clerical error, an over
sight or an unconsidered trifie. II was
made consciously, after full considera-
ton and with Mr.. Bryan's unqualified
approval. The purpose was the it'll
lation and allurement OF the Silver Re.
publican voters Of the west, who In.
sisted on some guarantee that the
protection principle would not be rad
ically attacked in the event Of the
candidates election. 1t was putting
the platform In accord with Bryan's
cross Of gold" speech, in which he
said, "If protection has slain its thou
ands, the gold standard has slain Its
tens of thousands" a sentence also de-
uberately composed to reassure the
Silver Republicans.
Mr.. Bryan, after some years as a
furious free trader, abandoned tariff
reform for a new political attraction,
as he has since abandoned anti-im-
p~erialism and free silver. He may be
a man of untainted sincerity, but his ia
cility of switching to paramount issues
is a feature OF his career which cannot
be denied.

In choosing Denver as the conven.
ton city the Democratic national COM
mittee has probably favored Bryan
all it can. Denver is, SO to speak, in
Bryan's territory. But at the same
time the committee has gone as far as
is might in taking the party away from
the enemy's country" and from the
dissatisfied south. No one pretends
that Mr.. Bryan is the favorite Of the
whole Democracy. He is disliked In
the south and he is not acceptable to
the east. He is the strong figure in
the party simply because the opposi-
tion is totally unable to unite upon
another man. We violate no confidence
In saying that a majority Of Demo
Gratis would prefer another candidate
than the Nebraskan, but they are
widely at variance on the question as
to who that other should be. In that
situation there is a hopeless drift to
Bryan and the selection Of Denver
practically closes the question. That
selection is indicative that the candi-
date for vice president may also be
chosen from that region, though such
action would be contrary to all po-
litical presidents.

The presidents decision to set up a
Cuban government and withdraw the
American forces before the end of his
own term entities him to special com
mendation. While 1t is true that our
treaty with Cuba requires the ultimate
withdrawal of the American govern
ment, some presidents might prefer to
leave the task of withdrawal to their
successors. The sentiment against
hauling down the flag against aban-
doning territory once occupied under
whatever circumstances, paralyzes
some rulers of very good intentions

unworthy considerations. His admin.
