Very Ever hear Mr. Lincoln's story
Of the Irishman who had taken the

II don't recall it
"An Irishman of wit and conviviality
who had recently sworn off went into a
barroom where he. was known with a
friend. and when the barkeeper asked for
his order he named a lemonade. The bar
keeper smiled, and looked hard at his
customer for the real order. Whereupon
the Irishman put up his hand. and said
behind it: I've taken the pledge; but if
ven slip in little of the thrue stuff un-
beknOwnst to me. I'll not be offinded.' ]"
And you think that. CortelyOu and

tributions unbeknownst to Teddy, and

An Extra Session and the Tariff.

Representative Henry of Texas. one of
Mr. Wilson's friends and advisers, pre-
diets an extra session of Congress next
spring for the revision Of the tariff. He
assumes. of course, the election of Mr..
Wilson and a democratic House.
Well. IL the task is committed to the
democratic party. the sooner it is begun
the better. \ democratic triumph will
make business somewhat anxious until
the party's hand is shown. The tariff
plank of the Baltimore platform says
one thing and Mr.. Wilson another \
fair Interpretation of the platform prom
Uses deep cut In customs duties, but not
so Mr. Wilson's speech accepting the
nomination He attempts to soothe BUSH
ness by telling it not to fear.
II is often contended that the tariff
had nothing to do with the hard times
under the second Cleveland adminis.ra-
ton. and in support of the contention il
is pointed out that the German Wilson
bill did not go on the books until the
administration was eighteen months old.
The trouble had been caused by other
things, and was in full swing before
Congress took up the shaping of a new
tariff law.
Nevertheless, the tariff cut a big figure
in the matter. The democratic tarin
program. fashioned by Henry Watterson,
had promised one thing-and a severe
thing far as protection was concerned
while Mr. Cleveland in his letter accept
ing the nomination had sought To soothe
the business world. AS result. the busi-
ness world, from the November day when
democratic success at the polls was an
nounced, had been nervous. 1t had not
known what to expect. and with char
acteristic caution had at once begun to
take In sail.
There will probably be no slashing OF
schedules next year when the task OF
revision is taken up. No party in our
| history has ever entirely redeemed it's
tariff promises. The republican party
came nearer the mark In 1897 than had
ever known before. and enacted a law

The Life-Savers and Charity.

| 1t is a sad reflection upon the business
acumen, not to speak of the humanity. of
, the government of the United States that
| it should be possible to look gratefully.
as upon a much needed beneficence,
upon such gifts as that which is just an
nounced by the superintendent of the life
saving service. Two sisters who live In
New York. whose names have never been
published. have this year for the sixteenth
time sent $500 each to him for distrlbu-
ton to. the veterans of the life-savinS
| crews who have been retired from Serv-
| ice and who are in need of assistance.
The motives of these good women can be
easily imagined. They have doubtless at
some time been the beneficiaries of the
| brave and self-sacrificing work OF the
! life-saving service. Perhaps they them
i selves have been rescued from the sea by
one of the station crews along the coast,
or perhaps persons dear to them nave
been brought across the waves by these
heroic men. who labor throughout the
seasons upon mere pittances OF pay with
out any provision whatever for their re-
| trement and sustenance in their old age.
| If every person In the United States VINO
has been succored by the life-saving serv-
ice We're in this manner to show appre-
citation by even a small annual contrl-
button there would be an abundant funo
for the life-saving pensions. But why
should the government of the United
States itself neglect these men and leave
them to charity when they have spent
the best years of their lives in d service
that is extremely hazardous and has
proved of the greatest conceivable value
to the public interest? Repeatedly Tor
many years Congress has been urged to
make pension provisions for the Fife
savers. Ordinary business considera-
lions have urged this narrow departure
from the anti-civil pension policy of the
government Shipping interests have
added Their pleas to the reports of OFF,
Gals Figures have been presented to
prove pos lively that, good as it is, the
service could be improved by the adop-
ton of a more generous scale of pay and
retirement allowances, but year after
year Congress refuses. to heed these urg-
:n-s. and the life-saving service remains
ill paid and without any provision what
ever for the care of the men who have
grown cd and lost their strength in the
noble work of saving life. 1t is wonder
that the nublic sentiment throughout the
United States has not ere this been
strongly aroused to demand that Con-
gress put the life-saying service on the
basis which its Importance and value
Justify No other country is so negligent
of its own interest to refuse to the
men who guard its shipping and the lives
of those who ply its waters the assur-
ance of care when the evening of life has
come and they are no longer able to earn
their small stipends at the oars.

Mr.. Sulzer and Pulchritude.

| The Columbia, s. c., State. usually so

the result at Syracuse: congressman

achievements to his credit, but his nomi-
nation for Governor of New York did not
raise the standard of pulchritude in DEM
ocratic candidates this year
/ This is not unlike the terms of the In

nanny" of her new husband. She had
brought her man to the big house to
| make his bow, and as he stood hat in
hand and arrayed in his Sunday clothes,
his wife said. very frankly: He aih't
much to look at, Miss Susan, but, all de
same. he's very good niger.
Mr.. Sulzer stands too close to We

to be frank and truthful. He must show
! 1.-The warts and all If Oliver Cromwell
were alive today it would not be neces-
sary for him to give any particular in
structions on that score.
But Mr.. Sulzer will have his triumph
later. After he has made his Jack
and become one of the foremost Amer
lean figures of his day, the artists will
get busy with his phiz, touch it up, and
the people of succeeding generations will
behold the picture of a man of striking
countenance, handsome in the sense of
intellectual grasp and fond purpose for
the plain people. The frankness and
truth of the photographer must yield in
time to the softening effects Of true artis-
try.
What have not the poetical gentlemen
with paint and brush done for greatness
in this way! Take d few samples from

tainly not. No human being ever had.
or could have, such mingled serenity and
majesty in his countenance as Washing

be as handsome as Hamilton appears.
No red-headed man was ever as mild
looking as Jefferson appears. And GER
tainly not even the godlike Daniel In the
flesh could have looked awfully inn
pressive as Mr.. Webster does in the popu-
lar prints. =
Then take Henry Clay. whom Mr.. Sui

We do not find the real Clay in the IA

wing leader addressing the Senate. Or in
that showing him taking a constitutional
