GO BACK TO TARIFF
Administration Forced to Course
of Wisdom.
Party In Power on the Point Of Admit
ting That the Principles of the
Republican Party Were
Correct.

Slowly but surely the administra-
ton is turning to the tariff as the best
and easiest way to raise revenue for
current expenses. The announcement
that the treasury department will rec
ommend the suspension of the free
sugar clause of the tariff bill is fol
lowed now by intimations that small
duty will be restored on raw wool.
which was placed on the free list by
the Underwood law.
Restoration of the duty on sugar will
yield an additional revenue OF s20,O00.-
600 to the treasury. The suspension
of the free-sugar clause will make no
addition to the present resources OF
the treasury, but will prevent loss
of s50,000,000 or $4,000 600 next year
Bonds, Of course. will be necessary
to provide for the increases in the
army and navy. The public will ap-
prove of such an issue of bonds. and
there is no difficulty involved here.
But it is necessary. in addition. to
meet the present deficit. amounting
now to $40,0O0OOO, with the prospect
Of growing to s1oo,oe0.oo0 by the end
Of the present fiscal year.
The administration, In our judg-
ment. shows good judgment in turning
to the tariff. The first steps have been
taken and, even though it should mean
surrender of opinion held in the past,
the movement should be pursued to
the natural end.
What the La Toilette b,under will
do to the American merchant marine
on salt water. and especially on the
Pacific, is already painfully evident.
That it is not to let the shipping of
the Great Lakes escape unhurt has
also been disconcertingly demonstrat
ed. Its prompt correction by the new
congress could be taken for granted
IL it could only be assumed that public
opinion in parts of the country not di-
rectly interested in ships could be
made to understand what a staggering
blow the last congress. possibly with
the best intentions in the world, dealt

towards Craig. He shrank back in his
place.
If these are your enemies" the girl
cried, f1ercely. remember that they
cannot touch you here. I'll have the
boys out in a minute, if they dare to
try It."
Craig struggled to his feet. He made
no answer. His eyes were fixed upon
the professors. The girl passed her
arm through his and dragged him into
the saloon. They passed Jose in the
doorway. He scoffed at them.
''Say, the boss will fire you, Marta,
IL you waste all your time with that
Yankee" he muttered.
Marta drew the red rose from the
bosom of her dress and placed it in
Craig's buttonhole. Then she led him
without word to seat.

Almost at that moment they all
three entered. Long Jim nodded to
Craig in friendly fashion.
ITS all right, cookie" he told them.
Don't you look 80 scared. This is
just bit of parleyvous business,

The professor held out a piece OF
paper. He handed 1t over to Craig.
Craig ne announced, this is o

will scarcely wonder that opened it.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Quest awoke the next morning,
stretched out his hand and glanced at
the watch by the side of the bed. 1t
was barely six o'clock. He turned over
and dozed again, looked again at half
past six, and finally, at few minutes
to seven, rose and made a hasty
toilet. Then, in the act of placing his
watch in his waistcoat pocket, he gave
a sudden start. By its side, half coy-
cred by the handkerchief which he had
thrown upon the little table, stood a
small black box! For a moment he
was motionless. Then he stretched out
his hand, removed the lid and drew
out the usual neatly folded piece of
paper:
Even time fights you. 1t loses that
you may iose.-The Hands.
Quest for a moment was puzzled.
Then he hurried into the next tent,
where the professor was sleeping
peacefully.
Say, professor, what's the time by
your watch?" Quest asked, shaking
him gently.
The professor sat up and drew hts
chronometer from under his pillow.
Seven O'clock" he replied; five
minutes past, maybe"
Quest nodded.
''That seems all right" he declared.
''I'll explain later, professor"
He hurried out into French's tent
and found the inspector just drawing
on his shoes.
French, what's the timer" he de
manded.

side

moonlight two forms were just visi-

She laughed at him. Her face was
little drawn with pain, but her eyes

turned.

former grumbled. Its all the fault
of this man. He would keep me out
there talking rubbish"
They sat round the opening before
Lenora's tent till the moon was high in
the heavens. Quest, who had been on
the outside of the circle for some little
time, suddenly rose to his feet and
crossed over to the cook wagon. Long
Jim, who was sitting on the steps,
glanced up a little surlily.
"Who's inside there?" Quest asked
Long Jim removed his pipe from his
teeth.
'That don't sound none too civil a

These experiments show that the ef

the heart to pump blood up to the
