tend that he was responsible for

of the whim that sent her on

earned her own living before he
met her; she had risen imperi-

reasonable probability that she
would become the wife of a man
highly placed and wealthy.
Every consideration told in favor
of policy of non-interference.
The smoking of an inch of good
cigar placed the matter in such
a convincing light that Spenser
was half resolved to abide by
his earlier decision and leave
Maloggia next morning.
But the other half, made up of

the urging of expediency. He
deemed the vicar an honest man,

France and the syndicates.

France is facing a new issue. one of the
most serious In its history. and possibly
containing the forces making for another
great political crisis. Militant. radical
socialism has become so strong in the re-
public that the government may at any
time be brought face to face with the
question Of self-preservation. The public
service has been thoroughly syndicated-
that is, organized into federations. The
workers in practically every branch of
the government work have been thus en-
rolled. These federations are apparently
growing bolder in their demands for the
amelioration of conditions. The postal
and telegraph strike of a few months ago,

Tariff Experts in Action

A tariff by experts. How simple it
sounds, How reasonable! How logical,
How desirable, What do politicians know
about the tariff? Nothing. absolutely
nothing. And that is the source of all
our tariff woes. We are imposing busi-
ness on men who have no qualifications
TO transact it. Let us abandon our
archaic procedure. and adopt one in har-
mony with the requirements. What the
country needs and wi ants is a scientific
tariff.
Now the way to get a scientific tariff is
to put the whole matter into the hands
OF men who understand it-into the hands
of experts They are the ones to har-
monize differences. Business questions
are simple, TO business men. They find
it easy to get together, and the result
always is most satisfactory. 1t is the land.

Oh. well. there need be no great worry
about the precise date. June may have
been hasty calculation. Say the de-
bate runs fortnight or month longer
than that. Congress will not be incon-

stand it, The assertion that the tariff
discussion is costing the country ten mil
lion dollars day is probably one of those
playful little performances with round
numbers. AT any rate. the tariff is I'D,
the subject is deep. and the wind" blows

The Names Wreck.

offered yesterday proposing that the
wreck of the battleship Maine be per-
mftted to remain in Havana harbor as a
monument to the men who lost their
lives in the disaster, and urging Congress
to appropriate funds to erect a wall
around the unsightly hulk. The senti-
ment of this country today is that the
wreck be raised; first, to expose. beyond
the slightest doubt, the condition Of the
hull and thereby possibly demonstrate
finally the source of the blow which
caused her destruction, and, second, to
remove an obstacle to navigation and
wipe away relic Of an incident that
requires no such gruesome memorial to
insure it's proper place in history, be-
sides releasing from their present en-
tombment the remains of the unburied
victims.
Congress has been repeatedly urged to
enact the legislation necessary to enable
the government to remove the wreck. Al

country are earnestly in favor of the
raising of the hulk. 1t is due to the
good name of the United States that
whatever of mystery remains about this
tragedy be dispelled without further de-
lay. If in truth the Maine was destroyed
by blow from the outside, as already
officially declared by this government,
this final physical proof of the fact
should be adduced. If, on the other hand,
the Maine was the victim of an interior
explosion, for which no one was to
blame, 1t is due to the Spanish govern
ment, which has always been under more
or less suspicion in the matter. to be
wholly freed from responsibility.
The raising of the wreck may not con-
tribute much to the record of the case
or fully elucidate the mystery as to the
precise events of that fatal night in 1898.
But it will at least demonstrate, in all
likelihood. beyond the possibility of rea-
sonable doubt, whether the Maine was
destroyed by an interior or an exterior
explosion and this fact should by all
means be definitely ascertained without
further delay.

Take the substance of a little colloquy:
''The senator Is not expressing his own
views, but those of some expert ad-
vising him. Will he kindly give the
name of that expert?"
The senator thus interrogated: Il am
responsible for what I present in this de-
bate. Is the senator expressing his
views? Or is there an expert Of sable

edge, is but human. If his line is wool he

We are working with imperfect lnstru-
ments. whether they be politicians or
tariff experts. But we must have re-
sponsibility in whatever is done, and that
responsibility should reach directly to the
people. So that when two senator's or
two representatives, after obtaining ex-
pert advice, avow responsibility for their
own words and votes they have solved
the matter. They differ no more widely
than do the experts advising them, and
those experts organized into so-called
commission would differ just as widely
then as now.
Lawmaking by Congress is old fash

pens to be constitutional. and maybe.
with all it's faults, we should love the

A Heavy Charge Against Castro.

If in truth the captain and crew of an
American whaler are detained in a Vene-
zuelan prison, as declared by a man who
has just made his way to Kingston st.
Vincent, the government at Caracas must
answer speedily and satisfactorily to the
United States and make full reparation
for the wrong inflicted. But before the
United States moves in the case it will

of the tale told by the fugitive. who may
be merely a clever faker. 1t is not in
credible that President Castro permitted
Americans upon their arrival in distress
at Venezuelan port. He did other things
quite as extraordinary and contrary to
International law, and considering his vio-
lent hatred of the United States and all
its people he may be regarded as at least
potentially guilty In this instance. But
Castro is not how in evidence. He has
passed from the scene 1t is to be hoped
forever, and there is a new regime In
Venezuela. 1t will be interesting to ascer-
tain, IL this fugitive's tale Is true, how the
Venezuelan government explains the con-
tinued detention of the Americans, upon
what charges they were incarcerated and
how they were prevented from communi-
cation with their minister or his proxy.
They may have been borne upon the prison
register as insurgents or filibusters Cas-
tro had a way of reaching all foreigners
against whom he entertained a prejudice
by denouncing them as fomenters of rev.

truth the men of the Knowles are held in
