The Coronet in Trade.
from the New York Herald.


The London cables are constantly bear
ing to us messages of good cheer con-
corning various women of exalted posi-
ton. and sometimes even of title, who
have gone into trade" to the wonder
men and horror of those unsophisticat
ed persons who 90 not know that the
British prejudice against money-making-
If it ever really exsted-survives only in
the pages of cheap fiction. But the New
York woman who opens a candy store
or laundry in the hope that her social
position will attract as great clientele
as that which rallies around an Englis h
coronet is doomed to disappointment.
Such is the magic Of a great name III the
older country that thousands of the SIM
ple-minded will cheerfully pay an extra
price for Lady Gwendolyn Dedbrokc' 5
bonbons or carry their soiled linen mile
away that it may be cleansed by the fair
hands of the Countess of Nervine. But
more than ever before are American
women going into business on their own
capital and abilty-not by the mere lease
Of good name-and succeeding.

ceived an assurance of the distinguished
consideration of his friends, then in con-
troll of the state convention. They called
him to the platform for an address, and
afterward formally expressed a prefer
ence for him for President. The express
sion was only a flourish, but most sim
cere. Undoubtedly his Texas followers
would rejoice to see him in the White
House. And what they then said still
holds, and needs no Strengthening now.
Maybe this banquet has something to
do with Mr.. Bailey's coming prominence
in the reopening of the tariff question,
and his friends at home are testifying
to the country that they will be with him
on that as they have been on other
matters. Whether the titular head of
his party in the Senate or not, he will he
one of its most powerful Spokesman there
when the tariff again comes up. and will
have the more influence If cordially sup
ported by his own constituents.
Mr.. Bryan classes Mr.. Bailey with the
protectionists He advocates, and Mr..
Bailey opposes, free raw materials. The
Texas senator harks back to a time be-
fore the democratic party began to flirt
with New England for support. and does
so with the greater aggressiveness for be-
ing able to show that the Irritation has
been a failure New England has never
responded to the overtures. She smiles
at the manipulation of the handkerchief,
but declines to come across with electoral
votes. Why not, asks Mr.. Bailey, drop
the profitless maneuver. and appeal to the
country on old-fashioned democratic tar
if lines?
Mr.. Clark of Missouri Sides it is be-
lieved, with Mr.. Bryan. and if he does,
and he names the ways and means COM
mittee of the next House. Mr.. Bailey will
be brought into action. When the House
bill drawn on Bryan lines reaches the
Senate, Mr.. Bailey will be present to help
receive it, and have opportunity to ex-
press himself on the subject. And
how frank he will be is to be estimated
from how frank he was when the Payne
bill was passing through the Senate and
gave him text for his views.

The Colonel and Another Judge.

1t would seem to the casual observer
studying the political situation that who
ever has charge of the republican cam
paign in New York this year has enough
to do without going abroad for diversion
or political occupation. There are evil
denceS that the burden of this contest is
resting squarely upon one pair of Shout
ders, we'll known to be broad enough to
carry heavy weight and somewhat di-
verse assortment of packages. But it has
always been regarded as an axiom in
politics that in running a state campaign
a party manager does we'll to attend
strictly to his own immediate business.
For issues that are acute in one state are
not acute in another. Lines of attack
that are open on one side Of q state
boundary often lead into the enemy's
camp across the line. 1t is sometimes
judicious to put the soft pedal on the dis
cussion of a particular topic at home
while that same topic is acutely in evil
dence in a neighboring commonwealth.
But apart from these considerations there
is good business reason for the manager
of the New York republican campaign this
year to attend to his own knitting. for
evidences accumulate that the task he
has assumed is not an easy one and that
unless the unexpected happens he will be
put to explanations and excuses on the
day after election.
In these circumstances it would seem to
be an invitation to unnecessary trouble
for Col. Roosevelt, in the heat of the New
York canvass, in which he is undeniably
the most conspicuous figure, to undertake
to defeat the democratic candidate for the
Governor of Connecticut. Now, of course,
Connecticut is close at hand, just few
minutes away from some parts of New
York, and many of its jewellers draw
their sustenance OF life from the great
financial mart of the. metropolis They
are business New Workers, but political
Nutmegites. However, even this fact
which the colonel has been pitching into
Judge Baldwin. The controversy between
them turns upon the manner in which
Judge Baldwin, on the supreme bench of
the state. passed upon the constitution
atty of the employers liability act Be
views, he is now called retrogressive.
The judge thinks this is hardly fair and
asks for an apology. The colonel retorts
with worse and more of it. He is busy
now writing letters, which some believe
to be good campaign material for Judge
Baldwin, inasmuch as there are a large
number Of Connecticut people who feel
that they are quite competent to elect
governor without outside assistance.

Saved From the Sea,

The other day dispatch from New
York told Of the return to that port of
the crew of the schooner Holliswood.
which had been abandoned in the Gulf
of Mexico when she was battered by the
recent gale. The only unusual feature OF
this tale Of the sea was the fact that
the captain Of the Holliswood had at
the last moment refused to leave the
wreck, preferring to sink with his ship
rather than report her loss to her own
ers. This. however. was not an unusual
attitude fer a vessel commander. There
is a tradition among seagoing folk that
justihes this seemingly useless sacrifice
Of life. In all cases of the abandonment
Of ship the captain Is the last one to
leave. When the dispatch came that told
of the heroism Of Capt. Walls the world
sighed in regret for a brave man gone
to his grave In a perhaps exaggerated
spirit Of devotion.
Now comes the sequel. The story diff
ferentiates. Capt. Walls has been

Senator Bailey and the Tariff.

Texas Is never long without a Bailey
aemonstrat alton of some kind. Either the
friends of the junior senator are banquet
ng him, or his enemies are lambasting
him. He Is kept Well in mind by both
sides. Those who support him go all
engths for him. while those who op-
pose him so as far against him.
The latest announcement is of a ban

and, moreover, he brought his schooner
with him. He was picked derelict by a
steamer from which the drifting Hollis
wood was sighted. When the wreck was
boarded the aged skipper was found lying
unconscious on the deck. The schooner
was rated as worth saving and she was
towed into port Thus the STUBBORN re-
fusal of Capt. Walls to leave his ship
is justified 1t is with vessel just as
it is with human life. There is no point
where hope is actually gone as long as
the ship remains af1oat or while the
