sprang into the rigging in their twenties.
Their tussle has been with the elements
and not with the crafty wits of other
men in rivalry of trade. The difference,
according to a judicious critic of men, is
that business men get their wrinkles in
the forehead. and seafaring men get
them around the mouth" Their job is
to outwit mother ocean and father wind.
Their yes has been yes, and their no, no.
A few thousand men Of this type made
possible the Revolution. 1t might be
desperate chance, but so was the earn
ing of their daily bread: why not play for
the higher stake? A few thousand more
won the naval war of 1872. They sprang
up, with ranks comparatively unthinned,
and fought their share IN the sixties, for
the wane of our merchant marine was
only then begun. But the type is slowly
and surely vanishing from the coast and
perishing out of the land.
For we give them nothing to do. First
went the clipper ships, which made the
Yankee skipper name to conjure with,
the world over, among nautical men.
Next 60 the schooners of the coasting
trade. Whole fleets of them swing idly
at anchor in the roads while steam car
ries the freights. The fishing fleet,
whose grace and speed is the admiration
of the foreign captains, has been usurp-
ed by the Portuguese, the Nova Scotians
and the Irishmen, as gallant seamen as
the coast can show; but what becomes of
the Yankees? The pilots, almost
alone, have held out, and each year they
have increasing difficulty in manning
their schooners with American boys.
At present there are three in the fleet,
and, as mentioned privately among the
pilots, they are the pride of the aggrega-
ton, though not allowed to suspect the
fact, since discipline must be main
talned!' But this is a meagre proportion.
A British critic declares that we have,
offering the finest merchant marine in
the world Not SO many years hence he
will need to write chad"
Yet the choice is with US. If we lose
our tribe OF seamen, it is because of
national policy which gives them nothing
to do. Why maintain training ships
when, forsooth, we have no merchant
marine? Supply the merchant marine
and New England will breed men to fill
it as fast as they are needed. 1t is only
in the cities that the foreign invasion
prevails. Up States, down East, the
old stock is as good as it ever was.
Maine, for example, built ships, and
bred the boys to man them; father took
the wheel, and son went before the
mast, to win his own ship by twenty
| five. But the blood of these seafarers,
their sons and their daughters of the sec
ond generation, are coming down to the
city by the score every year. To be
sure, they do its work; they keep it clean
and sound at heart. But the supply is
not inexhaustible. 1t is no fiction that
England draws her strength from the
sea. And New England as surely has
drawn hers land must continue to draw
from the wedlock of stony soil and salt
water. Such men as the sea bred to
her can i'll be spared, for we drink as we
brew. L. T.

Three Encouraging Signs.

Everybody wants business to boom and
everybody is watching for signs to indi-
cate which way the industrial tide is set
ting. This week three signs have ;been
thrust in the face of the country and
they are all favorable.
The first is the fact that the enormous
surplus of copper which has been accu-
mulating for several years is-beginning
to be reduced. For June the reduction
was 1861, 1853 pounds, showing that the
industries dependent upon copper are be-
ginning to face better times.
The second sign is the fact that for
June the U. S. Steel Company showed
an increased untitled tonnage of nearly a
quarter of million tons. No surer in
dication of the activity of business could
be secured.
The third sign is in the government
crop report for June, which shows that
the estimated yield of wheat is better
than last year, although the yield of
corn, while rather smaller than had been
expected, is still so large that it indicates
an enormous crop and one of the largest
ever harvested.
In view of these facts should not the
pessimist shut up shop?-Boston Globe.

Or. HYDE OUT OF JAIL
JUDGES Of CIRCUIT pEcLARE
JUDGE LATsHAW ERRED.
Next Monday Date for the New Trial
On Poison Murder Charge
Will ee Set.

Kansas City, Mo. - DR.. B. G.
Hyde, under life sentence of i'm
prisonment for the murder of Col,
Thomas H. Swope, was released from
the county Jail on writ of habeaa
corpus granted by the seven judges
of the circuit court here.
In the opinion of the court the ma
jority of the evidence on which the
physician was convicted was circum.
stantial and there was reasonable
doubt of the prisoners guilt.
The opinion rendered also takes
into consideration the fact that Judge
Ralph 8. Latshaw, trial judge, had
once admitted DR.. Hyde to bond. This
bond was revoked during the trial Of
the murder case by Judge Latshaw
and Hyde was committed to the coun.
ty Jail. After the reading Of the deci-
sion the bail of DR.. Hyde was set at
$4,000.
In its opinion, by which the Hyde
case was reversed and remanded for
new trial, the supreme court de.
clared that. Judge Latshaw was in er.
ror in revoking the bond. In the
habeas corpus proceedings DR.. Hyde's
attorneys laid much stress upon that
part of the supreme courts opinion.
Next Monday DR.. Hyde will appear
in the criminal court here and the
date for his next trial for the murder
of Col. Thomas H. Swope will be set.
After DR.. Hyde's release, both he
and Mrs. Hyde issued statements.
II shall reopen my Office" said DR.
Hyde, land try to take up my daily
life where it was interrupted by this
unfortunate train of events"
Mrs Hyde said:
81 feel sure that in the next trial
the jury will believe me when l tell
the details of the last illness and death
of my dear uncle. l know better than
any person in the world, except Clark
himself, that there is no foundation
for the charges against him.

MECHANICAL, the man arrested as fel

MECHANICAL, about whose alleged con
ression so much has been said and
written, was examined for three hours
by District Attorney Fredericks.
Attorney o. N. Hilton, chief coun
sci of the Western Federation of Min
ers. said that he was convinced that
Mechanical made sworn statements at

the Times explosion and other dyna.
mite outrages.
But Hilton declared that the state

told Hilton so when the latter called
upon him, and later District Attorney

as talked with McManigal. He said
he would not engage an attorney until
he had seen Burns, the man who ar

developed. According to District At

that the defense would contend that
