"I . -1 1 the president would come by lo-dav; I haven't seen liim in two months and imp til ways asks about 'him when 1 go home; hut maybe he's too baajf to walk the way lie used to, and -" Ib r thoughts were interrupted by a senate pace with a tri rible appetite, who wanted two chicken tend wichet in hurry. Soon the clerks from the different departntenti began to pass by on their way home to dinner. Some of them stopped to buy a sandwich from Mad'ie and then passed Ott, talking and laagfhing.

"Where (iocs she live?" he asked, and man standing at his side, with V kdge'a basket in his hand, volunteered (0 show the way to her home. Lincoln could have called an ambulance or sent her home in a carriage, but that vt.'is not this great man's way. When- help was needed he gave it himself, and so it was that th OM who were on Pennsylvania avenue that Lincoln's birthday saw the president pass along with a little injured girl in his arms. A abort walk nd they reach d the house, where Madge's father, steadying himself on crutches, met them at the door. "Your little girl has been injured; slum me a bed and I'll place her on I it." Lincoln said. A doctor was called and soon Madge opened bet eyes and said: "Papa, the president." "Yes, dear, the pn si. lent is here and only waits to know you're all right, j before leaving." Lincoln bent over the bed and p!aeinjr one arm around little Madge said: "Won't jrOC give the president a kisa i he fore he goes?" Hedge raised her head and Lincoln, lover of all children, kissed her and said: "(iood-bv, lit tie one. I hall look for ymi when f priss down Pennsylvania avenue again."

Singularly enough, it wan r.ot the brilliant QUalith I of his mind that brought Abraham Lincoln his high fame. Rather it was be solid, substantial elements it: Iii-character that made his success elements which in times of gnat crimes serve a purpose which not the forensic ability and eloquence of the great expounder of the constitution, nor the resistless, pitiless logic c.f I Calhoaa, nor the impassioned deliverances of a ( lay. couM achieve, say - a w riter in Christian Work. Mr. Lincoln's career is ever menu rable because by his plain, hard sense, w hw'h enabled him to do precisely the right thing at the right time, he succeeded where more brilliant men. having less self-possession, failed. And then, he won the hearts of those whom he called "the plain people," who, if we may cllH thim as such as why ahoald we not? formed, as they still form, the great ma jority and the strengte of the ration. Been the fact of the first nomination to the presidency, which comes to most as a surprise, as an event rarely ant V -Dated, was not a fortuitrus event it nrae no hapheeard affair.

TARIFF FOR PHILIPPINES.

The argumeal of Bona tor Lodge, of Mas-aehu-etts, in bringing the Phil Ippl - Iii 11 Iliea-UI'e before the .-ellat- dihclnses in co:isidcra!ile measure the fatal weukiie-se-, of the proposition. He soys that one-fourth of the Dinglcy rates , to be deducted from the charges now levied Ott th' import- from the i.-lai d- and that the proposed reduction on export-- levied in the island would bring the total Bonceiaion up to;,:, per cent. But the fa-t remains that under the senator's proposition 75 per cent, of the exorbitant protective taxes levied by the Dinglcy bill is to be exacted from imports from the islands. And this tariff, bad enough in any case, was framed to be levied upon goods of foreign origin, bays the I'tica Observer. The queatioa may fairly be put. why, if one-quarter of these tariff rates devised to "protect American workinginen from dangerous foreign competition,1 may justly ic taken off. why should the remaining threequarters in- retained? The object of the Impoaltfon of tariff duties on the Imports from foreign count riea n twofold. One la to obtain revenue for the legitimate expenses of the government. The other is the protectionist idea, to obstruct competition Of foreign manufacturers and producers with manufacturers and producer I in our own country. But how doc- the protective tariff idea apply to the case of the Philippines? We have taken these island- as our own. They are not foreign to us. Why certain favor. 1 interests should lie protected from COttJpetitloa from the Philip pines any more than from competition originating in Texas or Alaska la a proposition that call for a deal of explanation. We have forced them and are forcing them to acknowledge the sovereignty of the United States. At the same time we arc deriving them the commercial benefit- of the" relationship which we compel and holding them at the same disadvantage that we hold the manufacturers and producers of any foreign nation.

Here is a people whom we are inbjugatiag by foroe of arms, nnd trying to win to ns while we yet propose withholding one of the best and strongest arguments why they should willingly yield to American sovereignty. Can it be wondered at that the Filipinos j who are studying the economic side ! of the questions involved should hesitate if not resist when tin y see this manlfeatattoa of a commercially bee til- spirit? The question, divested of all dis-irni-e arid confusing presentation, resolves itself to this: Shall we or shall we not Impose a tariff on imports from one Section of our territory to another? Morally- sre should no more do so than we should in some future exigency Of lack of revenue place a tariff boundary at the Mississippi river? The Pacific ocean is much wider than the Mississippi, to te sure, but while it divides M also unites sections of I'nitcd States territory. Where is the justification for the differentiation In tha treatment of sections of the same country? Material prosperity win prove one of the stroiige-t adjunct! of military power in securing the submission of thr- Filipinos to American ru e.

Be baa made nine conspicuously lit appoint meota hays the Albany Argu-. In order to do so, he has been obliged to appoint southern dome erat. That fact is in itself a Uniting commentary on the absence of a respectable republican party iu the far south; for President Roosevelt is an intense partisan. The fact is," ay- the Atlanta Constitution, "that sun-' the republicans turned loose Loaiaiaaa and South Carolina in W7 there has been nothing more tat glide to republicanism in the gulf states than a close corporation of former carpet-baggers, pap produced converts, and colored Convention heelers. They nave survived apou the policy of the republican administrations of giving the federal offices in the south to the men who could produce pre pledged delegations in the national conventions of the party, it is a prophecy of bettor things when the president turns down such fellows and guarantees the purity and fidelity of the public service by appoint ing to it democrats of approved characters. It is also a g I sign that he doea not propose to pension padrone. The process he has hit upon may not build up a dominant republican party in the south, but it will benefit the public service and put a premium on patriotism instead of partisan prestidigitation." This policy of the president's has alienated front him, in many of the southern states, the men who have heretofore made I business of "handling" the deleentea to the republican : Btlonal c : v.-ntions.

He mav endeavor to cut off one of Mr. Hanna's best sources of delegate-gettlag. But if the full Payne policy sh,.,ild be adopted.

MASTERFUL SELFISHNESS.

The promote in tuest inn. w BOSf influence i- powerful in Washington, are a group of multimillionaire directly interested in ccrta';, great shipping corporations already enjoying a virtual monopoly of tha Be!d in which they do boataesa.
