Fitting and Grim.

Fitting and grim was all this to the
man and the boy. To the mother il
was nothing. She saw only her boy,
knew only that the strong, manly, fine
body was being taken from her sight
II was long before she recovered from
that tension sufficiently to talk Then
mastery of her spirit came She could
name her son without those uncontroI-
able paroxysms of grief that before had
made speech impossible.
Il have never seen a finer spirit of
resignation and consideration" said
Lieutenant Colonel Candy. Her prin-
cipaI concern was that she must not
permit her grief TO overshadow our
home. Quietly and firmly. she has con-
trolled her tmmeasurable grief and is
now able to discuss her boys life and
death with inspiring resignation.
I should find consolation in many
things" she said. her sad face soften
ing as she spoke Colonel Candy had
said that, as she had given her son into
the keeping Of his country as a soldier
sudden death might have been his por-
ton at any time.
at least he died doing his best for
the institution he loved" she con-
tinued. The long. well-formed hands
smoothed a wrinkle in the black dress.
The crown Of gray hair was lowered a
bit 10 conceal trembling lips and misty
eyes. Then it was lifted bravely and
a smile born of memory lighted the
sweet strong face.
I should have liked TO see my boy
grow into perfected manhood. a de-
voted and useful servant TO his country.
! shc7Id have liked 10 he with him when
great happiness came to him. and 10
have made lighter his burden of sOr-
rows.

SUCCUNIRED TO
 COMBINED MACHINES.


 With nearly the whole power of the local machine, including State Secre- tary Rogers and Mayor Lee, and with probably the State machine also.s op- erating in their greatest possible strength and vigor against them, it is not strange that the "Youngs'' were defeated in. the City Court contest in the senate. The wonder is that, against such ga panoply of power" they suc- ceeded in securing II of the 31 votes. It fs something nusual and almost un- precedented when a. report from the Judiciary committee is overturned, as occurred in this matter, but something had to give way before the combined assault of both State and local ma chimes. Indeed, there is suspicion that the Federal machine gave it's aid also, at the instance of Senator Bran dexee.
 One can but wonder at the hostility of the ssOlds'' towards the "Youngs''. Tt comes to the front on every possible occasion. Labor never devised a more Comprehensive boycott than marks the attitude of the "Olds' toward the .sYoungs." Yet both elements belong to the same party, and neither can win at the polls without the others aid. The "Oids'' owe their past successes to the party loyalty of the ''Youngs''- that is, they could not have won with out the aid of the .sYoungs'. We doubt very much if, in the event of the eYoungs'' capturing Mayorial nom- iantion, the "Olds'' would prove equal ly loyal. A test would have occur red at the last city election had not the leader Of the 'sYoungs'' perpetrated a seIf-sacrifice which is now called treachery or cowardice by Senator Manwaring.
 There isn't much doubt that, when the City Court contest reaches the House next week, the same powers which operated effectively in the Sen ate, will secure the defeat of Hull and Gould. A combination of Federal, State and local machines is practically Irresistible.
 Not until the 3eYoungs'' prove at an election that they hold a balance of power bet tween the two great parties, will they receive other than contemp- tuous consideration from the t'Olds.''

 The little joker'' was loud-smeIl- ing that when it appeared in the char ter amendments prepared for submis- sion to the board of Aldermen by May or Lee, it was incontinently dropped with the explanation that it's inclusion was ga clerical error" Its author has never admitted his identity, but it was clear that some one had discovered the fatally weak point in the road s claim for damages and sought to rem edy it by the cleverly disguised amend ment which has since come to be known as the little joker" As stat ed, it disappeared here but reappeared at Hartford, being introduced there, ''by request" by Representative Clark who wisely took occasion on Thursday to disown the malodorous bantling but did not reveal the identity of the per son who requested its introduction. Perhaps the information was not need ed
 As the railroad appeared by counsel in its support, it is a reasonable infer ence that the reqest came to MT. Clark from the road or some one of its representatives. Quite as probably, the appearance of the little joker in the original draft of Mayor Lees amendments was also inspired by the road
 The appearance of the Mayor at Hartford, with what is described as virtually an argument in favor of the passage of the little joker,'' renews the suspicion that he knew of it's in- corporation in the original draft of charter amendments and that it was indeed "a clerical error'' which left it in the draft instead of being reserved for unheralded introduction at Hart ford.
 The road made a tactical binder in showing it's hand, and Mayor Lee blundered also in favoring publicly at Hartford an amendment which "stank so loudly that he didn't dare to place it before the Bridgeport Aldermen.

Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
 Senate Finance committee which will
 have charge of the tariff bill when it comes from the House is endeavoring ito so rearrange the duties as to secure
 sufficient revenue without recourse to any of the proposed new taxes. He holds that the customs duties can be
 made to supply enough funds to meet sfhe Governments needs. There are 1.-two methods by which the customs
 duties can be made to furnish a sufi- cient revenue.
 1 @One is to so lower the duties on goods Which are produced in this county as Ezo invite foreign competition-that is, to reduce duties which are now pro- hibitory of importations, to figures which will assure the entry of foreign made goods and thus provide revenue. This would benefit the whole people by reducing the cost of living, but it is contrary to the Republican policy and
 we doubt very much whether Sen ator Aldrich would resort to it.
 The second method is to increase the duties or to impose new duties on ar <icles which are not produced in this country but which are in use here and some of which have come to be classed as necessities. Among them are tea and coffee. It is not probable that their use would be diminished by in creased or new burdens upon them and it is therefore certain that an aug -nented revenue can be thus secured Possibly, Senator A1drich has this plan in mind, but such duties have always been classed as in the interest of free trade, for the reason that their impo- sition would lessen the need of pro- tective duties on home produced goods.
 It may be that Senator Aldrich has in mind an increase of the duties upon articles produced in this country but not in sucient supply to meet the de. 1nand. For instance. sugar, hides, etc. This plan would increase the govern Enent's revenue, but at the price of an increased cost of living to the people. It would, however, benefit the big trusts and would, therefore, be in line with Republican policy, though not in censonance with the party's platform declarations. If we mistake not the signs, this is the plan which will be favored by Senator Aldrich.
