William had made for him. At first
he would rot sit in his chair. and
when put into 1t would not remain
there. Happily someone, knowing
that he had very luxurious tastes
laughingly suggested that perhaps he
wanted cushions in 1t. I thought II
not at all unlikely, so made some
of velvet for the back and seat. then
put him into the chair, and he re
manned sitting In 1t with an air OF
comfort and satisfaction. In the
winter it stood by the fireplace In
the library. He would sit in II for
hours gazing into the fire, leaning
back against the cushion, a hand on
each of them, and his feet stretched
out to the fender. Often when he
heard some noise in the room ne

A PUZZLE OF HISTORY
Why Did Virg;~ia Secede?

begun And once begun it was newt
able that it be fought out to decis-
i've victory on one side or the other.
The notion of peaceful secession
of the formation of new ''confeder-
alton" which should share the conti-
nent with what remained of the old
union. was a fascinating but a decis-
i've dream. War might have been de-
ferred; it could not have been pre-
vented. And though slavery was the
occasion of war, the underlying and
resistless force that compelled war
was the almighty impulse of the Amer
lean people toward the complete and
unquestioned possession and domin-
ion of the entire continent. Slavery
was the chief obstacle TO the move
ment of this impulse, not so much be-
cause 1t was unjust, cruel, in conflict
with the conscience of the world, as
because it was local, separatist and
weakening. The doctrine of state
rights. which, in the south, was the
theoretic bulwark of slavery, was not
confined to the south. New England
had early announced it and threatened
10 act on it, Fortunately it was
linked in the final conflict with the
losing cause, and went down with it.
Its overthrow and practical extinction
were the real triumph Of the war for
the union. It was tragic fate that
made Virginia cast in her lot with the
reaction, made her soil the battle.
ground of the terrible strife. and the
burial ground of thousands of her
brayest sons. But it is, humanity speak
Ing, certain that the strife was bound
to come. Ii taking up arms to resist
coercion" her people yielded to the
powerful forces of long past; their
defeat was but one step in the ad-
vance to still greater future.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

just IS Mr.. Sargent has declared
that the duchess of Sutherland is ''the
most beautiful woman who ever sat to
him. so did the great Van Dyck make
a similar declaration about Beatrice
de eusance. the daughter of Claude
Francois de Beauyois, the greatest
beauty of her time and one of the
most fascinating ladies at the court
of Brussels. In 1885 she was led 10

wife in order to marry the fair widow.
AS consequence. infinite gossip and
scandal at all the European courts
ensued, and tths pope refused to sane

Beatrice was very happy, until a few
years later another great beauty ap-
peared above the horizon: the Duke
was drawn thither. and she was de-
serted. When Van Dyck painted her
she was in the heyday of her charms.

REPUBLICANS QUIT
OLD TARIFF IDEAS
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
M'vEAGH SAYS PARTY HAS
CHANGED FRONT.

Boston, Dec. 9.--That the republi-
can party has changed front and IS
now marching toward lower tariffs,
in which the movement OF the Payne
tariff bill is but an incident, was the
interesting statement by Secretary OF
tho Treasury MacVeagh, at the an
nual banquet OF the Massachusetts
banke 81 association last night. Among
other speakers were President Rob.
erts OF the Commercial National bank
of Chicago and Governor Draper. Sec
Rotary Macveagh said:
In considering the results OF the
recent tarln legislation, Il ~ ineis-
pensable in my judgment 20 keep in
mind two important factors First
that the Payne law is put an incident
in the tariff revision moeement by and
within the republican, party, under
taken by the party itself and adyocat
ed by President Tat, in Office and out
OF office, and by Mckinley with al
most his last words. Second, that 1t

", anything else. No one expected
this great movement to complete ii.
self In single act of legislation, and
I 1t was expected that the legislation
enacted last August did not end the
movement for tariff revision.
"Hope and expectation Is entertained

we should have rest, it Is not neces.
sary that We get into long sleep

and elsewhere Is that we not be per.

AN excellent reason for reasonable
postponement Of further tariff legis.
lation is that we ought to DO no more

better how to legislate Oh It Opinion

tering between sections and Interests
The one great fact that marks the
new tariff epoch Is that the republican
party has changed front Whereas
II was marching towards higher tar
iffs, is now faced about and Is march.
ing toward lower tariffs.
THE Payne bill does not contain as
much downward revision as a great
majority of the republicans wished.
IL is well known II did not contain as
much as the president wished But
the Payne bill. as II passed the house,
WAS an intentional and ayowed reyfs.
ION downward, and though 1t was mod.
flied before 1t was finally enacted, it is
a practical conformation OF the new
policy OF the republican party.
Il most heartily believe that not
withstanding the well acknowledged
limitations Of the revision contained
in the Payne bill. IL ought not TO be
accepted by friends of tariff revision
as satisfactory achievement step
forward has been taken: later when
we have better information, we may
go forward along the same conserva.
