Down with the Tariff Issue.

The first duty of the forthcoming Republican
national convention will be to reject the recon-
mendation from its committee of Warren Hard
ing, of Ohio, for temporary chairman if it be the
purpose of the Ohio Senator to pitch his conven-
tion address in the key that he struck in speech
before the Hamilton Club, of Chicago, fort
night ago. The tariff, the Senator there declared,
is certain to be the great issue of the campaign"
and the salvation of the country rests with the
Republican party" A convention in harmony with
such a keynote would draft creed and conscript
candidate deserving and doomed to overwhelnn-
ing defeat A convention whose deliberations and
decisions are not in harmony with the keynote
speech, the delivery of which is the sole function
Of the temporary chairman would begin with
dlscord a campaign which must be harmoniously
conducted if it is to be successfully waged
Senator Harding may represent the views of
William Barnes ct al, who are his nominators for
temporary chairman, but he appears to be hope
lessly out of harmony with the sentiments of Mr.
Justice Hughes and Col. Roosevelt and their fol-
lowers, who hold the honor of the nation dearer
than the dollar: Unless he is prepared to find
the true key of the campaign and strike it with
clearness and frmness another should be found
to assume the responsibility of temporary chair
man of the Chicago convention.-Boston Tran

ter had been taken on by the treaty:

was complete by midsummer, 1870
But the mere completion Of the formal
process of reconstruction, as planned N
Congress, did not mean order or the quiet
settlement of affairs in the South The
white men, with whom effective initiative
and the real weight of predominsnce
rested in any case, had had their wits
quickened and their temper hardened by
what the Republican leaders had done.
They were shut out from the use OF
the ballot and from every open and legi-
innate part in affairs, but they had come
at their power in another way. Those
who loved mastery and adventure d.
rected the work Of the Ku RIux. Those
whose tastes and principles made such
means unpalatable brought their inhu-
ence to bear along every line Of counsel
or Of management that promised to
thrust the carpet bagger out Of ofice
and discourage the negro in the use OF
his vote.
Congress saw where they meant to re.
gain their mastery, at the polls. and by
what means, the intimidation and control
of the negroes without regard to law
the law thrust upon them, not their own
and hastened TO set up a new barrier oi

Playing with Love.
BY JOHN ID. BARRY.

Where lovers frequently change the object of
their affections one may be reasonably sure to
find that they are inspired by false kind of
love. Indeed, it is often referred to in terms
related to the chasing and hunting of animals.
1t is recognized that in such love there is some
thing of the instinct to capture and to injure per-
haps utterly to destroy. Among men there are
lovers who take their chief delight in injuring
women. In their successes they find not merely
indulgence of the senses, but qualification of their
egotsm. They achieve wretched illusion 81
superiority for which they may be ready to make
any sacrifice. Some women, knowing this mas
culine weakness, play upon it, and sometimes prey
upon it, making it the means of securing for
themselves all kinds of advantages, imaginary and
real including the qualification of their own ego
tism and vanity, the flattery of their sense of
power.

Congress has appropriated $4,000 for the con-
troll of rabies among coyotes of the West and this
has enabled the Department of Agriculture to put
five inspectors and 100 hunters in the field This
may be the scientific way of doing it, but most
iaymen will probably take the view that the
best method would be to get little more money
from Congress and exterminate the rabies and
the coyotes at the same time

RECKONING WITH GREAT BRITAIN
Published special arrangement the Presden through
The Mcclure NCusbdpsr Syndicate.

The reckoning with Great Britain came
at the very outset of General Grants
administration. Mr.. Seward had tried to
bring II about while Mr.. Johnson was
p: ,sident but the Senate had rejected
the method Of settlement he had been
willing to adopt and an arrangement
agreeable to both governments was not
arrived at until the spring Of 1871.
In May of that year. a Joint High Com
mission appointed by the President and
the ministers in London and sitting in
Washington. agreed upon a treaty, ac-
ceptable to the Senate, which referred
the claims of the United States against
Great Britain on account Of the damage
inflicted by the Alabama, the Florida, the
Shenandoah, and all other confederate
vessels alleged to have been fitted out
In British ports, "generically known as
the Alabama claims" to the arbitration
of tribunal Of five persons to be named
by the President Of the United States.
the Queen OF England. the King OF Italy,
the President of the Swiss Confederation
and the Emperor of Brazil respectively,
and to sit at Geneva, in Switzerland.
The treaty of WRshingtOn,-so it was
called.-provided also for the settlement
OF other matters in dispute between the
two governments which touched their
permanent interests: the right of Amer
ican fishermen to catch fish upon the
Canadian coasts and OF Canadian fisher
men to make their catches upon the
northern coasts of the United States and
the exact line OF boundary between the
United States and British North America
within the streams which separated them
and within the channel between Van
couver's Island and the continent; but
the Alabama claims for the moment
seemed TO all eyes to stand at the front
OF the matter.
On the 18th OF S-p :ember, 1872. after a
three months hearing, the Geneva trib-
unal rendered a decision in favor Of the
United States, only the English mem
Der Of the court dissenting.

All life is preparation for love, for success in
hazardous enterprise for failure. Just as vir-
tue leads to wholesome living, on the other hand
in love one can often trace what on the surface
at any rate, seems curiously like punishment for
sins heretofore unpunished. As the mser de-
velops an nordinate capacity for loving money
to money he becomes enslaved The sensualist
becomes enslaved to sensuality. In exactly the
same way the practice and the love of virtue leads
to the most beautiful of all kinds of slavery, the
richest in its rewards.

A CONSOING THOUGHT.

A homely face? o we'll perhaps
lack the looks of handsome chaps,
But what care if I am plain?
My outside may be wholly vain
When judged by beauty's simple line,
But if I took this face of mine
And turned it inside out may be
You'd find some grace inside o me,
Since all my life I've taken pride
In caring for the things inside,
And let the outer aspect win
What grace it might from that within.

ington saying that the Mexican people
as a whole are glad 10 have the Ameri1
can troops on Mexican soil and welcome
their coming as a forerUnner Of America
Intervention; that the McXicsns are sol
pleased over the prospects OF interventionl
that they shout for Joy.
That's ell silly pinle. The MexicanI
are about as tickled over having Ameri-
can troops marching through their
country as the BelEians were to have
theirs. The only MeXiCans who are at all
pleased over It are some merchants who
get higher prices for supplies they sell 20
the American troops than they otherwise
would and get paid in American dollars,
which are the same as gold instead Of IN
deprecated Mexican pesos.
None Want Intervention.
The only people who want American
! Intervention in Mexico are the foreigners
who have investments or business schemes
here. No MeTicsns want IL Even the
outs, the exiIed Cientihcos and those
who still remain in the country, are BIT
terly opposed 70 IT, for Il would DO away
with all chances Of their starting another
revolution and getting into power again.
/ The Zapatistss don't want IL either. All
they want is a continuation Of civil war
So they can keep on lootinE and pillsE-
ing. That's much more to their liking
and much more profitable than working
on the haciendas or in the mines That
reporter in Washington should not be

there tell him.
The Mexico City papers recently had
] long and splurginE reports Of the fall OF
I OaNacs and the triumphsl entry OF the
faithful Constitutionslist troops into the

OaXaca has been the stronghold Of the
old federal army. Some 1000 OF Disz's
former troops are concentrated there and
Carranza has never been able TO capture
or subdue it.

with great Joy and Thanksgiving by

more was heard about it. The news

battle or surrender or anything else.

Mr.. Adams was down there and this.

OF 500 Carranza troops was operating
on the border Of the State Of Oaxaca
and made a forward movement Meet
/ ing no opposition. the commander
pushed boldly in and kept going. As
/ he did not even encounter an outpost
to attack, he concluded that the enemy
must have abandoned the city end re
tired to the Businesses Of the Guerrero
mountains. So he was very jUbil8ny
and marched into the city that had
held out so long with drums beating
and flags flying Then he sent back
a courier with the glad tidinEs to be

Those that play with love in this way are
either reckless or courageous. Playing with FIRE
is mild comparison. They play with what may
be even more dangerous, and, in its effects, more
lasting, disposition. AS love is the concentration
OF life, the intensifcation of human relation it
brings, as the result of the habits we call charac-
ter, fearful punishments and rewards. For this
reason, to some natures, love appeals to the in
stinct of adventure not unlike the gamblers On
the other hand, there are those that, once burned
as we say are careful for the rest of their lives
few become so bitter against love that they
will have no more of it. Their special experience
they may identify with all love- narrow way OF
looking at the most powerful force in life, in
deed, so necessary to life that the two are, in a

There are some sins, perhaps not recognized
as sins, that tend to destroy love For example.
the selfish and the egotistical and the tvrannical
when they love, soon express in love their sell
hshness, their egotism and their tyranny To those
they love they are unable to show the qualities
that help to make love thrive Often they wonder
why they they are SO unfortunate. They look
out on the world and they blame life They
sometimes go through life without suspecting that
the blame lies in their own natures. On the
other hand, often see those apparently un.
worthy of being loved, who nevertheless receive
love in abundance. Their cases are exceptional
1t is their luck to be loved by generous and for
giving natures, natures that perhaps love not less
but more on account of the weakness that they
see, appealing to the pity that is often so close
to love to be confused with love itself
To nearly all people love is at some time
given. To most people love is given at all times,
that is, some kind of love- At least once in nearly
every life romantic love comes. But why should
we make such sharp differentiations in the mat
ter of love? Are not all kinds of love in their
nature essentially identical? In children one of
the first things we notice is whether they are
affectionate We know that affection is a natural
quality Some of us, in our attitude toward those
close to us, are far affectonate than others.
And some of us have far more than others the
capacity for developing affection. For love- like
every other human quality, increases with exer-
else. The we love the more we are able
to love, and the more we love the more skilful
we become in expressing love ourselves and in
retaining the love of others
