They vven sealed in the big booklined binary. Thomas Qrifltha, senior, a pright In bla red leathern chair, calm and dignified, observed hia son from beneath acut', thaggy eyebrowa. "So I see. It's the young blood again," be sighed. "I thought you had aown your oats, but it seems there's still a plentiful crop." "Iadeed, dad, you're wrong. I'll be a steady as the Ineheape Rock, bat I must get away. I'm choking." "Can't brook restraint. Home ties what are they? Drittle as paper, solid as water. My son!" He turned over the leaves of the "(iraphic" with a large paper-knife, and let his eyes ret vacantly on the pictures. Suddenly he spoke again. "Of course, there's a woman. Will gOVJ tell DM who nnd what she is.1" The roots of Tommy's hair blushed a quivering red. "There's no woman," he said, after a pause. "'And before the cock crows ye hall deity nie thrice!' ,() love" Through the stained-glass windowfell shafts from the westering sun. bong slunlows lay across the thick pile carpet, the face of the old man gleamed like the emotionless sternness of a sculpture in the dying light. "You are choosing, Thomas," he aid at last. "My way or thy wav. There is no going back. My fortune goes to your sister if you thwart me. I can allow you nothing any more." "I cau't stick it, dad," he repeated doggedly. "I'm sorry to cross you, but the lever's in my blood. The hat-tle-eries drown the voice of agriculture." "You are not in the army?" "The battle-cry of life, dad, of the world the struggling the swimming to höre, the huas, the champagne. I must get back to it, siuk or swim." Mr. Orlflathl roae. "I don't speak your language Thomas, i belong to the old school, I auppose. You have gone beyond me. I'nless j-ou change your mind before to-morrow week our ways lie apart. Do not seek to alter my decision. You know my shall we call it-obstinacy? (iood-night." Upstairs in the boudoir of his dead wife Thomas Griffiths, senior, unlocked an escritoire. Drawing out a miniature of a little lad in a Scotch suit, he held it to the light, while diagonal lines from nostril to mouth deepened into ploughed furrows. "He should nave been named Alsalora," he said bitterly. ML PLBURETTE A familiar knock drew Fleurette bolt upright. She waited breathlessly.

"Of course not. Do you think 1 should ray so if it was'.' I want to be polite." They nt down, nnd a straincl silence fell between them. Tommy broke it diffidently, "I've got a hillct with I chap who Came OUt on my boat. He's on 'change.' A speculator, rich as Croesus. I get gM a month and prospects." "It will keep you in tobacco." "I'm not sure. It will give us oysters once in a way." "1 don't like oysters any Biete, Tommy." "It will buy an occasion fichu." "1 -don't like fichus."

Why ahoultl the dastardly taking al the life ol tha pretldeal have made Wall street ijuai and call for help from the Ualted Stales tna-ury .' In no eernt would linaiicial utTair be ensured from tin preseat progr imaati the a nee. .. a the head of tht ;'"Ver;4aent was aaaured to those who wou.d ftrrj out tha policy of the present admin. atration. A new congrest with s large republican majority is but waiting to be called together. Wall street says business never vtas better, and the large fortunes that have end are heinir .i:ua--d by the faeore few is an indication that prospcr'ly is in full blast in that favored regleau And yet there is an undercurrent of trouble that any untoward event will bring to the turlaca and prick the beautiful bubble that has been blown with aa much eare and patience. The banks there have but little cash beyond the reserve th'y nre rcrpiired by law to keep, anil the Issue of clearing house certificates js tlked of. There matt be something radically wroni; with a sy stem that has to little stability. One of the causes is over capitaliat ion of the trustawhose stocks the banks have taken as security for loans and Morgan, ttoehe feller and others are al,., loaded up with them awaiting the time that the least desirable can he unloaded on the investing public. A vast amount of these stocks and bonds have been paid out in lieu of cash for the plants of the manufacturing concern when the trusts were organized, and a .'o..I many of these stocks and bondl are constantly being thrown on the market by their owners, either because they would sooner have ready money or they fear thpy will decrease in price. The underwriting syndicate who organised the trusts are obliged to buy these stocks and bonds or the price would decline and more would be thrown on the market, and the bears would take a hand and sell for a decline and a panic would soon be inevitable. This is the reason that the trusts magnates and their allies, the banking Interests, call for aid from the United State treasury, and it may be fairlysaid that an ry dollar tliat is advanced or loaned to them is used to hol-tcr up the trust securities. So it comes to this, that the people are beiag taxed beyond the necessities of the government to create a fund to be loaned to the trusts and the gamblers of Wall ttreet. STATESMANSHIP AT FAULT. Professed Igitoraarr of lleepl- Interested Advoeales of a llljih Tariff. Another protection organ it in trouble, which is hardly to be wondered at when it is considered that it is the sole organ also of the Quay gang at Philadelphia. It is much worried about reciprocity, and is afraid the national association of manufacturers do not understand the quest ion, nnd will be led into making some big m'-takes at their meeting to consider the question to b held this fall. If the manufacturers have been relying for Information on ihe Inquirer it is probable their knowledge on tariff questions is very meager, which is evident when if say-: "At the - true : me it is not surprising that the manufacturer-, who are obliged to dev.de so much time to the onduct of their business that they have little opportunity to apply themselves to the study of abstract questions of statesmanship should bo Inapreased by the tuggeation that reciprocity la a kind pf free trade in disguise, nnd that they ihould accordingly ha disposed to look askance at the new departure to whose expediency their attention has been and s being directed." Poor, overworked men. these manufacturers, without time to isqaire and inform themselvc on a met important matter that i- of great ci.nc. rti in their own business. IVi-h. they kn. w more about reciprocity than this selfsatisfied organ of protection doit. They have had the best legal advice on the constitutionality of the French treaty, and they also know that a much more serious question than reciprocity Is at issue, and thnt is. shall the tariff h? eliminated or reduced on articles these trusts and manufacturers sell cheaper to foreigners than they do to our own people. That Is an entirely different brand of reciprocity than the on- the Inquirer is talking about, and trviiiir to befog ita readers with. Ibciprec'ty between the manufacturers and the people and let the foreigners take care of themselves is the tariff OJUettion that must soon be settled. If the Fifty-seventh congress does not take the side of the people nga'nst the trusts and the monopolies that the favored manufacturers have to long enjoyed, the people will see that a democratic majority is elected In 1902 that will ref -m the tariff to that extent, and then if that proves of dvantage the people will be ready to take up the further qneatlon of tariff for rerenue. There is great gloom nt the headquarters of the Protective Tariff league and the Home Market club. They fear the tariff is about to be meddled with nnd that even some treasonable republicans may be helping to break open the shrine at which tiny worship. Tbey are still firing blank cartridgea at the democrats, bnt it is only in a half-hearted way. They should reserve their ammunition and pour some hot shot into these recreant republicans and they may keep up the Chinese wall awhile longer. Their allies, the trusts, should be called upon to give more material eid.

TWO KINDS OF TARIFF REFORM?

UlBarlaa Hlaae- That Ar Saw Troubllua the I'rolrellOB lloelora. It now appears there are two kinda of reciprocity, the James ti. lil.iine brand of ivu which was forced by him .01 the llel tarifl lull after his historic and eaeitiag personal interview with tbe republican members of the w ay - aud means cou.utittee. The other kind (a tha new brand, samples of which ar. teei in the I ciprocity treaties m w before the I'niled Statea senate. The new Kt MOS brand it violently eppoaad by the Protective Tariff league, and La the matter i' 'a furnishiiitf to the republican new -papers it said: "Very many of the reluct lone strike directly at some establish, d and important industry. The text I i Baa ufacturers and th. jw.lry manufacturers of M;c-;tcliui !- have op I with especial earnest ness the ratification of this (the French) treaty by the senatt." It then g..es on and says that "the fret trade newspapers are favoring this French reciprocity." In reading these fulatinatlona of the leapue me has to make allowances for ita mit statements, such as calling the tariff reform newapaperi free trade, and to forth, for the league is in dire dlstresa just about now. It s scient Ida t a r iff is under Ire Bot only by the ev.r wicked democrats, but by those of its own household. Kven Preeidcal McKinley in his sp. . eli at IlulTal.i said that reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the times, meataret of retaliation arc not." Hut let these tariff doctors tight out who is, best capable of making a diagnosis of the disorder that is troubling the overprotected patient and i nquire if either of them are likely to strike at the root of tbe disease. It is not the question of a five or ten per cent, redutcion of the tariff on a few articles, as the French treaty provides, even allowing that the constitution will allow revenue to he lowered or raised by the action of the executive and the senate, but shall the protection given the trusts in tbe present tariff be taken off or continued? Ine French reciprocity treaty, nor any of the eisrht others now awaiting ratification, does not touch the monopoly granted the trust-, and this is the main, question of the tariff reform that the people want settled. The reduction of the tariff on a revenue basis will follow when the present extravagant and wasteful republican party is replac. d by one pic !. I to an honest administration who will be free from lavishness or waste. MR. BRYAN EULOGIZED. ltrnuhllcan Kdtlor Whn Kprnki iss II lull PStslae of Ihr IlriuoHPWttO Leader. The malignity and rancor of the republican daily new -papers before the last national election when speaking of Mr. llryan was copied by the week lie-, many of whom now sincerely regret th -y were led ta aper.eand tlaader him. Amongst these is the editor of the Fort Lupton, (Col.) Register, who not long ago had the privilege of a conversation with the democratic leader, and after giving aa account of the interview with him, said: "He long's to free the p Oplt and to save the nation, and the infinite pity inspired by the conditions h" icet and the infinite vearning to help and to save are stamped ineffaee.ibly upon the face of the man. "The adverse decree of th? nation and the repudiatioji of his party have imparted a ladactt into hii life, bat they have only added to the purpose and s t rengt hened the ideals of tha: life. "I am not a P.ryanlte in politics, and the impression of the man given here are the impressions of one who hat alway s supported those political ideal ant! principles directly opposed to the principles laid down in the platf rm on which he stands. Bat difference of opinion and the prejudice of party cannot blur the iqnate greatness of the man. One cannot talk t-n nvnutee with him without feeling that here is a man who is greater than his party, whose thought are profonndcr and whose ideals are loftier than those of the inrr" politician. Who-c mairnetlo personality is that of a man born to lead, whose honesty of purptse nnd unswerving and sincere loyalty to tha principles he believes to be right are beyond question. "Such men are rare, nnd whatever the ethical principles and political dogmas they advoc.it, the world is better for their having lived nnd strngFd." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The jingoes in congress and out of it have at ln-t a president after their own heart. They were never satisfied with Mr. McKinley; his foreign policy was too tame for them. Hut perhaps Mr. liooscvelt will not be so strenuous now he is president. According to the agricultural depart mi nt. -the corn crop is still shrinking pad the potato and apple crops are lM:ut the worst on record. On the other hand, freight rates on these products have been advanced, so that the railroatrs will come out even. The crop that the railroads gather never fails. It is too bad that President Koosevelt could not have seen his way clear to accept the retignatioa of Attorney Oeaeral Knos and hae then sppointed some eminent lawyer who was known to favor the carrying out of the anti-trust law. To hare done this would have given him a hold on the masses of his countrymen that no president for some decade has enjoyed, but perhaps he knew it was impossible to find a republican lawyer of note with ante trust proclivities.
