hereafter shall bear a certificate of good character from his home authorities, certified to by an American consul. This, at first glance, looks like an excellent idea; at any rate, every American would like to have crranal a:;d vicious foreigners kept out of the country, and to make a law that they must keep out seems to settle the matter. But, on examination, it will be seen that such a law could not be enforced and might as well not be made. With our enormous nnd unpoliced coast lines, with thousands of miles of unprotected border on the north and south, it is impossible to keep out of the country any white person that wants to enter. Once a foreigner is on territory of the United States, be would be safe, for there Is no means of distinguishing him from hundreds of thousands of others. There is no way of registering and keeping account of 80,000,000 people, nor of preventing as many as wish to from joining them. Th United States is helpless, and cannot protect itself from the Cood of humanity that Is pouring in on it every year. Even prohibiting Immigration altogether would be useless. We might as well make up our minds that this country will continue to be the refuge of the criminals and the vicious of the world, and trust to our vigilance and alertness, and to a drastic enforcement of our own laws to prevent them from injuring us after they arrive.

Every European country which has undertaken to subdue the Moors has, failed, and France may well hesitate before attempting the tisk. Portugal was for several hundred rears in possession of nearly all the Moorish ports on the Atlantic, including Casablanca. In 1578, under Dom Sebastian, slje attempted to subdue the whole country and failed' most tragically. A Duke of finster and many other gentlemanly adventurers joined Dom Sebastian's standards and began the journey to the capital, which so many conquerors have- undertaken, but In which no single one has succeeded, at least not since the day when the green banners of the Prophet of Islam were first flung to the breezes from the battlements of Fez. Dam Sebastian and his army of 20,0000 men, together with the uncounted adventurers who had come together from all over Christendom to follow so gallant and so generous a prince, met their fate m the valley by Alkesar, which Is watered by a shallow river Identified as the Llxus of Pliny. There 20,000 men were cut to pieces by the Moorish cavalry, and those who died here bj the sword were the fortunate members of the anay. According to some accounts, Dom Sebastian and the more notable of his followers, wounded or captives, were taken to Mequinez. where, after they had graced the triumph of the terribre Bultan, Abdel-Mclet, their conquercr, the greater number of them were burled alive In the city walls. In these same walls are visible to-day many hundred bricked-up cells in which on this occasion and at other times of fanatical fury Christians were Immured while living as a punishment for refusing to become renegades to their creed. After this disaster Portugal gradually withdrew from Morocco, and In 1Ö00 what remained of her conquests was ceded to England as part of the dowry of the Infanta Catherine of Braganza, who became the wife of Charles II.

In fact only two or three ex-senators have been elected President, although some of the mos distinguished members of the upper house have been disappointed spirants for the office. Among the Presidents who held office subsequent to the time of John Quincy Adams Is to be recalled Andrew Jackson, who resigned from the Senate to be a candidate for President, but who was defeated. That was In the campaign in which Jackson was opposed by J. Q. Adams, resulting In the election of Adams by the House of Representatives.

THE STORM. Graphlo Description of Its Coming? by One Who Lived tojTell the Tate. "The weather conditions," he said, "had been precisely those to make th experienced navigator cautious. "The morning was sultry. There wa! not a breath of air stirring. When the sun was half way up to the zenitb it showed as a dull copper disk. A faintly bluish haze rested . upon the horizon. v ' "When the tide began to make ac almost imperceptible breeze came up from the sou'west Just enough to make the flags tall ofT at Intervals and theD settle dewn and flap feebly against the staffs. "Banks of clouds appeared, and Anally massed themselves In the western Iry. I said to myself that It was no time to be at sea7 that at high water there would be something doing up aloft and lower down. "Later the clouds began to draw water. The heavy bank seemed to part and one portion of it bore away to the south'ard and the other to the nor'ard. A few big drops of rain fell, but that was all we got of It In the course of the afternoon I ventured out "Along toward low water the light breeze of wind failed. There waa a dead calm. I had all sail set, but could not keep steerage way. She simply drifted with the tide. The surface -of the sea was like glass, save for a long swell that came In from seaward. "Over in the no'theast the peak of a cloud showed Itself. It was fringed with light It mounted rapidly. Other clouds seemed to be pushing It up. "The white fringe edged the portentous bank they were forming. Below this the color was dull leaden. "I knew what that m?ant I overhauled my ground tackle, keeping an eye all the time on the bank of cloud coming up against the direction from which the breeze had been blowing before the dead calm. "Suddenly a ripple appeared on the water beneath the dark cloud with its fringe of white and sails of vessels up to windward dropped as If the halyards had been cut. I could see men scurrying about the decks. "A yellow ruffle appeared upon the water, advancing with inconceivable ve-t loclty. Beyond It was a wall of torrential rain, rent by blinding streaks of lightning. Peal after peal of thunder came In quick succession. "I vainly tried to head the craft so that she would take the onset of the gale head on. The dark ripple on the water, followed closely by the line of yellow foam, was almost upon me. "What was I to do? I could let the sails go by the run, drop the anchor, pay out all my line and hang on. But what if the gale should be so stiff that she couldn't lie to It? Then I would have to buoy ray anchor line and scud with bare poles till the gale( blew Itself out. "While these thoughts were flashing through my mind it came to a point where something must be done quickly. "Without another Instant's hesitation I got out, took my canoe under my arm and walked ashore, barely in time to keep from getting wet above the knees." Washington Post You Could Slip Off the Edge. There was a time centuries ago, of course when the learned men of the world really thought that the world was square not merely flat, but that it was a cube. The primitive geographers of Egypt Assyria and China all taught that the world was a "square plane." One of the most curious discoveries ever made In Central America concerning Toltec beliefs, symbols, etc., Is that they also had a similar idea concerning the form of what we now speak of as the "globe." A writer on the discoveries mi. le among the monumental ruins of that country says: "They (meaning the Peruvians, Toltecs and Quiches) believed the world to be a cube, suspended from the heavens by cords of gold fastened to each of Its corners."

Mrs. Burcknardt competed with famous beauties of Germany, France and othr countries. The "beauty competition" Is an annual event in Franzcnsbad. It was organized by the town council, and any woman who is not a professional beauty Is eligible to coniite for first honors.

CAEEYDJG OUT THE BARGAIN J It was Mr. Sedgwick's first visit to the new country home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Drake, and he was much interested in tho place. As be and his host were strolling round the grounds after dinner, he asked, "Who was your brawny friend who ate with us?" - "Oh, didn't I introduce you to Ole?" "Yes, you Introduced ' him, but you didn't explain him," was Uie smiling reply. "lie Is an old Norwegian wood-chopper, and he has two more of my dinners coming to him." Mr. Drake chuckled. "The fact Is, I'm not used to dealing with these rural workmen, nnd -Ole got rather the best of me, I think. "You see that great pile of stove wood ranked up by the barn? Well, I engaged him to split !t, and wheu I was trying to get him to name his price for the work he said it depended on how hard it was to split that some wood was much'easler than other wood.' " 'Can't you tell how much it would be worth a cord to do it?' I asked. M,No he answered, 'for t maybe It would be hard and maybe it would be easy. "Will you take ten dollars for the Job?' He looked at the cord-wood meditatively, and after a moment, said, Yes, if you'll give mo my dinners.' "'But how many dinners will there be? How long will it take you?' " 'Can't tell how long, wood's so different,' he said. But we needed the wood for Immediate use, and laborers are scarce In the neighborhood, so I said, TU give you your dinners for two weeks, but after that you'll have to bring your lunch.' I didn't Intend to have irfm dawdling over the Job for the sake of the dinners. "He accepted the offer, and he didn't dawdle. He completed the work in eight days, but he's faithful to his dinner engagements. He comes regularly every noon and eats a hearty meal, and I half believe, from the twinkle In those blue eyes of his, that the old man enjoys the Joke on me as well as he does the dinners." MISS WAYLAND'S C0NTBIBUTI0N. She Thought the Missionary's Wife Mltfbt De Human, Too. Before the ladies In the vestry parlor, engaged In packing the box for the family of the Bev. Joseph Gordon, who, In a far-away western field, performed the duties of missionary, teacher, lawyer and patriot for the salary of five hundred dollars a year, there appeared a sudden vision. The vision was In the most stylish of new spring fashions, from the top of her exceedingly expensive hat to the tips of her handsome shoes. Beneath the hat her eyes were half-apologetic and half-daring. "I've brought my contribution," she aid, putting a package down before Mrs. Henry Thorpe. "I dldnt ask you this time what was needed because well, because I struck. It came to me suddenly how. If 1 were a missionary's wife, I should loathe the sight of cotton cloth and second-hand clothes ye, and new ones, too, when they're all so dreadfully sensible and bought to last and how I'd long with all my soul for something frivolous. Of course," with a sudden dimple, "I'm not claiming that I know anything about how missionaries' wives really feel. I suppose they are all dreadfully good, and don't hanker at all after worldly vanities; but still, I don't believe it will hurt. I'm going now, so that you can disapprove Of me. Good-by!" In dead silence Mrs. Henry Thorpe opened the package. It contained a two-iund box of the best bonbons, three of the latest novels, and a bit of green pottery. The ladles looked at each other In dismay. "It seems wicked," Mrs. Henry Thorpe Bald, In honest distress. "Novels when the missionary must so need new books I" Mrs. Harper lamented. "I can stand the books better than the vase," Miss Ambrose declared. "Well," Mrs. Thorpe said, with a sigh, "I suppose they'll have to go. But I must say It hurts." ßo th thing Eleanor Way land's

idle, useless things were packed and sent in the box, and in due time a letter of thanks reached the church. Mrs. Thorpe read It aloud In the missionary meeting. At the elosa came a peculiar paragraph. "And now, dear friends, I'm going to make a confession. I suppose you'll think me terribly frivolous and unfit for a missionary's wife, but there were three things that I Just cried over the ccüdy, the new stories, and that lovely, lovely vase. "I don't believe you can Imagine how starved one gets out here for something that Isn't desperately earnest. I haven't seen a bonbon since I was married, two years ago, and, oh, how hungry I've got for a new book once In a while! And the vafee well, I shan't care If we do have nothing but potatoes for breakfast If I have that vase full of flowers on the table. Thank you all a thousand times; but thank especially the dear friend who remembered that missionaries' wives are terribly human, after all."

In a small town in the Midlands there is a rich congregation which Is not characterized by lavish liberality, says a Loudon paper. Time after time the minister had vainly appealed to his people to contribute more generously to the funds of the church. The members would. Indeed, give something, but it was nearly always the smallest silver coin of the realm that was placed on the plate. A shrewd Scotchman, who had recently come to the place and Joined the church, was not long in noticing this state of affairs, and a remedy soon suggested itself to his practical mind. "I tell you what," he said, to one of the officials, "If you niak me treasurer I'll engage to double the collections In three months." His offer' was promply accepted, and, eure enough, the collections began to increase, until by the time he had stated they were nearly twice as much as formerly. "How have you managed It, Mr. Sandyman?" said the pastor to him one day. "It's a great secret," returned the canny Scot "but I'll tell you In confidence. The folk, I saw, malstly gave three-penny bits. Well, when, I got the money every Sabbath evening, I carefully picked oot the sma coins and put them by. Noo' as there's only a limited number of three-penny pieces in a little place li:e this, and as I have malst o' them at present under lock and key, the folk maun give sixpences,' at least, Instead. That's the way the collections are doubled." The Manchester Martyrs. Along In '07 or thereatouts some Irishmen tried to rescue bunch of Fenian prisoners In Manchester, and a police seregant was shot and killed. The prisoners got away, which may have had something to do with the upshot too. The government was naturally sore, and they managed to haug three of the rescue party without too much fine haired fuss as to whether they had anything to do with the shooting or not At that time Fenians and Nationalists were at daggers drawn, and the church was heavy against the Fenians, of course, but they were all one, one in agony and shame over those Irish boys strung up in an English town. All their helplessness, all the bitterness of England's might, England managed with those halters to drive festering deep afresh; Think of a town the size of Dublin turning out a funeral procession of 00,000 people, nnd think of how those 00,000 Irish were feeling when I tell you they were quiet quiet in tho.se streets where the lowest hovels had hung out their bits of green-twined black.

Tariff Revisions. Unless all signs fail, the Dingley tariff act of ISO" will remain in force longer than the famous Walker tariff of 1S46. ' The leaders of the party in power have no Intention of revising the tariff during the coming session of Congress. . . Should unforeseen circumstances not force them to change their purposes, the present law will survive till after tho presidential election In 1908. This will make it eleven years old. The Walker tariff" remained in oieratlon eleven j-ears. It Is quite Improbable that Congress will undertake a revision before the autumn of 1009, and the work of drafting, amending and debating a tariff bill is so slow and complicated that the bill could not become a law before some time in 1910. These facts will not affect the present demand for tariff changes, coming from men of all parties. The Democrats, of course, demand that the law passed by the Bepublicans be r pealed, not because the Republicans passed it, but because of their hostility to the protection theory. That is the duty of the opposition to point out defects in the policies of the party in power. Dnough Republicans agree with the Democrats i;n the need of . revision, even though they differ as to the methods, to make it morally certain that some changes will be made within two or three years. The Wilson-Gorman tariff, which preceded the Dingley law, was passed in 1S94, aud the McKinley law went through Congress only four years earlier, in 1890. The tariff that preceded the McKinley act was passed in 1S83, and it superseded a law enacted in 1873. In the twenty-two years before the present law Congress passed four general tariff act-s which had an average life of a little more than five years. Youth's Companion. The Real' Prosperity. At the present time one cannot but pause and marvel at the unparalleled prosperity which now hovers over this progressive nation. Every industry throughout the country Is flourishing as never before, and a "full dinner pail" confronts every tradesman and laborer who Is willing to toil. From East to West and from Noth to South come3 the demand for men; harvest time Is at hand and some Industries may suffer for lack of help. There Is no excuse for a single idler In the United States under present conditions, neither has there been for some years past but Jnst now the field of opportunity .Is broader and better than ever. And the end Is not yet ; advancement Is certain where confidence Is so pronounced and general. The country is without a serf or a slave, and with plenty of work at good wages should Inspire every one with a desire, from a political standpoint, to leave well enough alone. Just now there is a dearth of political talk, bat nevertheless It Is well to remember that invariably times are good while the Republican party hold In. And who would care to, or can truthfully deny it? Let's have no thought of going back to the dark period of a few years ago. Wyoming Press. Vhen the Day of Reckoning: Comes. We are on the eve of a presidential election. It will be fought by the Demcratlc party, from present appearances, In large part on the tariff Issue. It will be charged that under Republican protection American manufactures are sold more cheaply abroad than they are to the domestic consumer. The report of the Federal Commissioner of Corporations on the Standard Oil will be used as a campaign document ngainst the Republican party. Every vulnerable Industrial combination which the people are now assailing in their Ill-considered .assaults on wealth will be pilloried as one of the products of the Republican protective tariff. And yet there are Republican newspapers that, on the eve of a presidential campaign which will be the most hotly contested of any In recent experience, are unmindful of their party's critical situation. What will they say when the day of reckoning comes, and when, amid the crash of our prosperity, the frenzied voters go to the polls to "vote the ra?cals out," and to Jump from the frying-pan into the fire? Leslie's Weekly. "Aot Desirable." Would tariff revision make an increased demand for labor? Would more mills be started, more mines be opened or more wages be paid through Its results? Would the revision proposed be expected to add to the prosperity we are now and have been enjoying, or to take from it? These are some of the very pertinent and practical questions asked by Senator Foraker of Ohio in the course of an address. The senior Senator of Ohio may represent som purposes which the. voters oL Michigan would not approve, but his question suggests a position In the matter of tariff tinkering which Michigan does approve. That tariff revision such as would meet the requirements of the most aggressive advocates of such action would be accompanied again with Just such results as have always In the past accompanied it is a reasonable answer to Senator Foraker's questions. And that Is why It is not now desirable. Reed City (Mich.) Clarion. "Why Xot Ten Years Moref Not only has the Dingley bill produced a million dollars a day for the treasury, but It has also for the past five years added another million a day to the produciug capacity of the mills and factories which It protects and maintains. This extra daily million of production means employment and good wages to extra thousands of workmen. Why not set out upon ten years more of the Dingley bill? Concord (N. II.) Monitor. Xo Danger. Not a bit of danger that our millionaire connoisseurs will expatriate themselves because the high tariff prevents them from importing art treasures. There are some specimens of fine art that are peculiar to this country, some in long green and some backed In golden yellow, and these constitute a tie that binds even an expert to the land of the free.

Xondon has 300 clubs, with a membership of 2S0.000.

Xo Apolosy Needed. It pleases Democratic speakers and organs to represent that the present tariff law is or. the defensive and forced to find excuses for a longer continuance. The plan of attack Is to discredit the law and then push a general assault on the protective system. All through Its history the Demo.-aIc party has been opposed to the policy of protecting American wages and Industry, and Its talk now of tariff revision Is deceptive. Its platforms have always been against any such protection in a tariff. According to the declared Democratic belief a tariff should be framed for revenue only, and workmen and manufacturers should be left to make the best of such resources' as they can command In open competition with the world. If the next Democratic national platform leaves out a plank to this effect it will be different from the party's former avowed position. A man from any party may favor tariff revision, meaning a readjustment of schedules when needed. Republicans from time to time have passed several tariff laws and changed rates according to the progress of industrial development. Sometimes they have advanced rates as well as reduced them, but always maintaining the protective principle. What the Democratic party means by revision is a general cutting down of duties and an elimination of all protection as fast as It can be reached. When did Mr. Rryan or any other Democratic party leader say a word for protect Ipn? Beyond any doubt the next Republican platform will speak with pride of the great success in all respects of the Dingley tariff, whose results for ten years have more than realized all that was expected by fie able men who shaped it. As far as revenue is concerned the only Democratic charge Is that the treasury surplus Is excessive. In general expansion of Industry no decade in the history of the government or of any government, can be compared with the period of the present law, and the tide of prosperity has been running, and is running now, higher than ever before. But the Democratic cry Is for a change, and It Is the pretense of that party that' Republicans are in a state of nervous apprehension, seeking to delay a revision pictured as already imperatively needed and overdue. There is no such feeling or opinion In the Republican organization. It will give the present tariff a most emphatic and enthusiastic indorsement, and refer to such modifications as may possibly be required as a matter for whose careful consideration, from all points of view, there is plenty of time, and from which free trade Influences will be excluded. Since Its passage the Dingley law was temporarily modified In one item by Republicans, and that example serves to show how hollow Democritic theories are on this subject During the great coal strike, when the people of the United States were threatened with a coal famine with winter at hand, ftome of the leading Democrats In Congress made Impassioned appeals to take off the duty on coal, and asserted that the admission free of foreign coal would strike at the root of the trouble. The duty on coal is 47 cents a ton. Congress suspended it for over a year, but the effect of this "revision," really an experiment In free trade, was absolutely null. Foreign shippers of coal at once marked up their price. Even consumers of coal in American seaports profited nothing by the addition of the article to the free list. When the duty was taken off coffee in the name of a free breakfast table the Brazilian dealers added the difference to their price. American consumers paid the same as before, but the American government lost the revenue. So "revision" often works. For the Dingley law and the principle of protection, the Republican party has only words of triumphant praise. St. Louis Globe-Democrat Foolish to Force It. That the tariff will some time have to be revised does not admit of doubt or of dispute. Every Intelligent man concedes that this time will eventually come, since constantly changing business conditioas will naturally bring It about, but, until that time does arrive, the party would be very foolish indeed to undertake to force it. The people of this country are not slow to express their preference upon great questions of this character and when they become dissatisfied with the, tariff they may be depended upon to say so In plain words. Until they so declare the President will do well to stand pat, as he has evidently decided to do. St Joseph (Mo.$ Gazette.

It is to be hoped that Messrs. Nelson, Miller and Manning have a record which will show what they got In the '90's, when another set of fellows not the crop of these days had been revising the tariff. Fairfield (la.) Ledger.
