Different Methods.

1t really seems a little strange
that the suffragettes of London, the
name given women who want to vote,
Synonymous with suffragists on this
side the water, are quite more siren
uous than their sisters on this side.
Several times the past year they
have been held to answer for breaches
of the peace in their aggressive be-
havior. 1t is only last week that
they smashed the panels of the doors
leading to the House of Commons
and were arrested and taken to the

gument and moral suasion are the
only arms used in a battle that has
been gradually making its way
against all obstacles.
Force provokes force, and it is
difficult to grasp the extent to which
retaliatory measures have been in
troduced by our British neighbors.
Under date of the 10th ult. we read
that Mrs. Parkhurst and Mrs. Law
renee and ten other suffragettes had
just been released from prison on
account of i'll health due to forcible
feeding. The other fifty suffragettes
in prison are continuing the hunger
strike, and the majority are being
artificially fed. Many are in the
hospital. A petition to the queen
is being signed. seeking to &C.

The government has promised to
liberate any who will undertake to
refrain from militant tactics in the
future.

Necessity of the Panama Canal.

1t will help US TO solve rightly the
problem of the Panama canal tolls, it
we brush aside all conflicting argu-
ments and ask ourselves why we
build the canal, and an advisable an
swer is given in July LippincoH:
Did we build it as a commercial
proposition? Not at all. The Pana-
ma canal is primarily naval insur-
ance policy. Our coasts are rich. our
army is small, steam has made havoc
OF the distance which once protected
US, we must look to our navy for our
defense. But without an 1sthmian ca
nal our navy is at o frightful disad-
vantage. 1t is twice as far from New
York to San Francisco by sea as it is
from Yokohama to San Francisco.
Without an Isthmian canal, we must
either maintain two navies, one in
each ocean, or trust to luck and
the embarrassments of our possible
With the Panama canal
finished and properly fortified. effec-
tiveness of our feet is doubled with
out the addition of q single battle
ship.
Now, speaking as individuals, do
we ask our insurance policies to pay
dividends? Hardly. The protection
is the ssential thing; any profit which
results is incidental. mere by-pro-
duct.
1t seems to me that the same rea-
soning applies to the Panama canal.
As nation. we are repaid for even
our tremendous investment by the
increased efficiency of our feet. To
ask q commercial profit in addition is
to ask more than any one ever got
for anything. Indirect commercial
profit there will be, of course, in the
stimulus OF cheaper freight rates be-
tween the oceans. But to charge
tolls which will provide interest,
sinking fund, and operating expenses
of the canal, is to saddle one part Of
our commerce with our most import
ant naval expediture. It is doubt
full If that part of our commerce could
bear the load; it is certain that it
ought not to bear it. If the canal
tolls are fixed at a point where they
will pay bare operating expenses Of
the canal, they will be quite high
enough.

An Unexpected Result.

The packers having at last frank
~ admitting that they have had a
combination which amounted to a
trust now state the seeming neces-
sity which led to its formation, and
will adopt other means OF meeting
the EFFICIENCY. but give no promise Of
relief even by dissolution Of the
unlawful combination. They show
that increase Of population in this
country the past decade has outrun
the base of supply; that the increase
Of population has been Fl per cent.
and the increase of cattle and food
animals has been no more than 2 per
cent.
These figures have been given by
Edward Tilden, President of the
National Packing Company. and
are, OF course, taken from official fig
ures, as well as the other conditions
affected thereby, such as an increase
OF area and value of farm lands de-
voted to big products and division
OF land formerly used for feeding
cattle, to manufacturing cereals. He
believes that manipulation is no
longer possible, the demand for cat
tie being so great and competition
too small. He furthermore declares
that high prices have been just as
injurious to the packers, who have
made profits also from the by-pro-
ducts, the prices OF which have of
course increased with the advance in
meat prices.
1t looks as if a source Of relief
might be found if the number of
American cattle is insufficient to
feed economically the number of
American mouths and it is q folly
to retain tariff on meats.
If it be true, as is affirmed by the
meat trust, as we'll as the tobacco
and standard oil trusts, that o sur
render to the Sherman law has add
ed to their profits, while it has hither-
to been regarded by their officials
and predicted by politicians it would
prove their ruin, it might he a good
thing for them all to come in under
the law. If experience seems to teach,
why should any trust longer hesitate?

THE CELEBRATION.

The celebration yesterday, taken
as a whole, was q success, especially
the parade, which was the central
point of interest. Occurring as 1t
did, SO near our date OF publication,
of course precludes anything but q

of display. 1t is safe TO say. how

Protection and Prosperity.
To The Editor of The Republican.

To The Editor of The Republican.
AS surely as two peas in pod look
alike. protection and prosperity for the
citizens of the Sixth District go to-
gether. Protection to our industries
and farm products as worked out under
the policy of the Republican party has
gone hand in hand with the prosperity
of the farmer. With this protective
policy in force the farmer has enjoyed
a greater degree Of prosperity than the
farmer of any other country in the world.
The value of his products, the size of
his market for them, and the demand
for the same have to very large extent
been dependent upon the degree of pro
lection accorded him by the govern
ment. The one has been dependent
upon the other; and the farmer has long
ago learned that his best interests are
conserved by voting to preserve the
protective policy of the Republican
party and by voting for the men who
support that principle.
Garrett county and the Sixth District
in genereI is essentially an agricultural
section. It's main products are those of
the farm and the great body of its
voters are farmers. Naturally their
sympathies should be with the party
that in the past has proven itself able
and devoted to the interests of the
farmer. The Republican party has
always occupied this position and the
members of this party who have rep
resented US in congress have always
voted to MAINTAIN and preserve the pol
icy that most benefited their constitu-
ents and brought to them the greatest
possible degree of prosperity. They
have consistently voted to maintain the
duty on wheat, corn, hay, potatoes,
wool, and the various other products
that essentially interest our people
They have voted in the interests of the
majority and not the minority of their
people at home. The result, under
the protective policy our people have
received the highest prices for their
products and have enjoyed a very high
degree of prosperity.
On the other hand we have the record
of Mr.. Lewis, our present Democratic
Congressman. Representing as he does
an agricultural district and one pecu-
larly benefited by the protective policy,
his term in Congress has been a term of

Charles D. Wagaman, the Republican
candidate for Congress from the Sixth
Congressional District, will receive on
November fifth the largest majority
from Washington county ever given
Congressional candidate and unless all
indications fail, he will sweep this dis
trict.
At no time was sentiment so favorable
to the election of Mr.. Wagaman as at
present and his popularity increases as
election dav approaches. Voters, with
out reference to their sentiment on
National issues, are supporting the Re-
publican candidate and urging his cleo
ton with growing enthusiasm.
The reason for this is plainly evident.
He is the embodiment of these qualities
that make a great statesman and he is
essentially the peoples candidate.
Everything that he does is, as far as
possible, fit and complete. He aspires
to place and preferment, not for the
mere exercise of political power, and
still less for pleasurable indulgences,
but for occasions to serve his country.
This is the type Of man We want 10
represent US in Congress.
1t is astonishing when one learns of
the real sentiment for Wagaman in his
own county. People every day are de-
claring their intention to cast their vote
for him. And it shouldi be understood
that these declarations come from men
who have been of political faith diff
ferent from that OF the Republican

CHAPTER II.
An Echo of the Past.

Immovable on its granite base, the
great rock, or Mount" as 1t had
been called for centuries, stood some
distance from the shore in a vast bay
on the northwestern coast of France.
To the right, sweep OF sward and
marsh stretched seward, until lost
in the distance; to the left, lay the
dense Desaurac forest from which an
arm of land, thickly wooded, reached
out in seeming endeavor to divide the
large bay into two smaller basins.
But the ocean, Jealous of territory al.
ready conquered, twice, in twenty-four
hours rose to beat heavily on this
dark promontory, and, in the angry
hiss of the waters, was a reminder Of
a persistent purpose. Here and there,
through the ages, had the shore-line
of the bay, as well as the neighbor-
ing curvatures of the coast, yielded
to the assaults of the sea; the Mount
alone, solidly Indifferent to blandish-
ment or attack, maintained an IN
varying aspect.
For centuries a monastery and fort
ress of the monks, at the time OF
Louis XVI. the Mount had become a
