Among the largest of the protected lnj-int Indutrlps la tlio CarnoRle stool plant, which Mr. Frlck. one of tho pnitncrs, says will make more than ? 10,000.000 this year, though the orlRin nl capital was only f2R,oOO,000. Pro tection Is a plorious thliiK for the fel lows who profit hy the special privi leges It nffords, Iml how about the Mieat number who arc obliged to put up the money to pay these enormous profits? . Mr. McKlnley, In his New York speech, declared that there is no Im perialism and that there can be none, because those who have faith In the republic are aKalnst it. The latter part of his sentence Is correct, but the first clause Is an indication that McKlnley doesn't know imperialism when ho sees It. No public man ever attempted to perpetrnte a great wrong under its proper name. It Is always garbed In 'cilltie. for studying the processes o! something to conceal Its repulsive feat ;t i i i ii . . ures. McKlnley may have some other ;L,ncoln. mind.

If Representative J'.obcrt Itnbrrts llitt, of Illinois, were to compile his reminiscences, the result would be n volume of extraordinary interest. Not only has he flsruri'il pruninently lil national and Inlcrnationnl ufTsiirM fut liearly a generation, but lie bus en Joyed pergonal relations of a peculiar ly close character with more men ol eminence perhaps than any other mail of the day. Away back before the war, says the Washington Star, when a mere boy. he was attached to Abraham Lincoln ;ln a way that gave him enviable fa' Unlit Not Long .Ami for St. Incent'i Hospital, New I nrk, nail Suc rniltll) Oprrnled. A motor ambulance is Fct down in the lutest thing in liorselesj vchicln nnd one that has just been put in oper ation by St. Vir.ccnt.'s hospital, New York, in said by its maker to be the first Automobile ambulance to be built ami put In service In this or uny othet count ry. "An ambulance of t his kind. lie savs, "possiFscs ninnv advantage over its horse drawn prototype, A greater speed Is attainable; there Ii more ease and safety for the patient : It mar be stopped within its own lengt li len running at full speed, and on ar senate, youtjg llitt followed Lincoln, taking down in shorthand every word that publicly fell from his lips. These famous addresses which made Llni coin's national reputation, and which, more than anything else, contributed :to his election as president, owe their permanent and enduring form to tho Jyouthful reporter's notes, the original of which the congressman still hoards among his literary treasures. Lincoln .called him "Bob," and vras fond of the !boy- After the war Mr. Hltt came to .Washington as a clerk of a congres sional committee and had an opportu nity to become acquainted with tho eat statesmen of the reconstruction era. His good luck sent him to Paris In 1874, just after the Franco-Prussian war, as secretary of legation and oharge d'affaires ad Interim. History The Washington Post, though n gold bug nnd high tariff paper, is not so blinded by partisan prejudice as to advocate abolishing the constitution whenever It seems to Interfere with government by the trusts and for the trusts. It gags at the proposition to put a tariff on Puerto Klcan Imports, and happily dubs the policy that pro poses it as "benevolent suffocation." This term Is far more fitting than Mr. McKtnley's "benevolent assimilation." Before the president was made drunk with the wine of imperialism he char acterized the policy he Is now attempt ing to carry out as "criminal aggres- lon." The Post s term, "benevolent suffocation," describes fairly and forci bly the policy of the Hanna administration. The late General Lawton, several months before hla death, declared that all the Filipinos want Is a little justice. That Is what McKlnley & Co. are de termined they shall not have. The war Is conducted for spoliation and commercialism, and no considerations of Justice, consistency or decency are sufficient to Induce the administration to call off Its dogs of war. The people. however, will have a chance to ex press themselves later on, unless Mc Klnley, backed by the trusts and Mark Hanna, concludes that It 1b not safe to trust such questions to the voice of the people, and declare the country under military rule. Such a proceed ing would be scarcely less surprising or more revolutionary than some of the acts of the present administration. ROBERT RODERTS HITT. -(Chairman of tho House Committee on Foreign Affairs.) was being made rapidly in the French icapltal In those days, and Mr. llitt .spent seven years in Paris, a period iwhlch was closely packed with lm iportant events. He returned to Wash ington In 1881 to become assistant sec retary of state, and the next year ;was elected a member of the house of representative. All through his career in congress he has been con spicuous In the d'scussion of interna tional questions, and now, as chair man of the house committee on for eign affairs, he is regarded as a diplo matic authority without a peer. Mr. llitt ha had the good fortune ,to cement friendship more firmly than almost any other man now In public life, ne was Blaine's closest :friend In Washington. In the conclud ,lng years of Uliiines life llitt was the man in whom he confided most and was often to be found In the his toric old mansion on Lafayette square, At the same time that he enjoyed these affectionate relations with the great secretary of state he was the best friend of Speaker Keed, Blaine's Wtterest enemy in public life. And no finer tribute could be paid to the delicate tact of the Illinois represent ative than that he should have con tinued for years such a relationship with two such men without losing the confidence of cither. In Mr. Illtt'a house in K street Is a room which is devoted to the mem ory of Blaine. The walls are covered with pictures of the Maine leader, with autograph letters and all sorts of relies which bring Blaine to mind. 'Elsewhere In the house are Lincoln relies, and stored nway somewhere in places where they will be found some time and brought to light are scores and hundreds of confidential letters from men whose names will figure in history. Mr. llitt Is of medium height, of modest bearing r. nd one of those in public life, not too numerous, who is a gentleman always. His voice is soft and modulated; his manner Is frank and friendly, although he never for igets the diplomatic proprieties; his' conversation is stored with informa tion nnd anecdote, nnd yet he has never been known to reveal a thing .which was to be kept in confidence, lie mukes no pretensions to oratory land Is not much of a politician. Where Ijufnji-lte la Hurled, "We visited the convent du Sucre Coeur, in the line de l'icpiiH, where La Fayette Is buried," writes "Kditli" from Paris to tho Ladies' llonif Journal. "Here birds of passage, like ourselves, seldom come. At the end of a rose 'grown garden Is a little cemetery, where beurers of some of the oldest names in France lie burled. Now only descendants of those who died on the guillotine are eligible to a grave there, and in one corner, In the shadow of the great wull, are the graves of La Fayette and his wife. Beyond the first ceme terv Is a second, where the bodies of 1,300 arlstocratlo victims of the revolu- I flnn w.r tuii-li ! That the next presidential battle will be a battle under the same captains who led the opposing forces in '96 there Is scarcely room to doubt. On the side of the common people, under the lead ership of one of the grandest men of the age, will be ranged those who op pose Imperialism, the encroachment of the money power, trusts and all special privileges that enable some men to secure more than their Just share of the comforts of life by virtue of the law. On the other side will be aristo cratic wealth under the banner of a man who has proved uncertain, vacll lating and truculent. Fighting under this banner will be found those who advocate the use of sword and cannon to secure commercial advantages, those who believe In special privileges which enable tho .few to prosper at the ex pense of th'e many, and those who be lieve in trusts, monopolies and the pri vate control of the currency. Were the people left to decide the case on their sober Judgment there could be no doubt as to the result; but corporate wealth, ready to corrupt the corruptible, with corporations coercing their employes into voting for the Interests of the wealthy classes, the contest promises to be a most bitter one. Let every man who loves his country do all he can from now until the battle Is over to win a victory for the people. lie is an odd man who doesn't wish to get even with his enemies. The woman who los. g her temper never advertises for its return. COMES TRUE WHEN s Dr. PIERCES FAVOMTEP&EStRIPTION IS USED. Mrs. Axel Kjer, of Gordonville, Cape Girardeau Co., Mo., writes: "When I look at my little boy I feel it my duty to write you.

(Built for a New York Hospital and Now In Dally Use.) count of lt weight it runs with greatet smoothness." The gears In use are an adaptation of the carriage gear, but improved-and made identical with the pedestal geaf used on locomotives. The wheels ore of wood, and are furnished with three' inch solid rubber tires. The rear wheels ore 42 inches, and the front wheels 3d inches In diameter. The motors which drive the rear wheels are mounted on the rear axle. The steering Is done with the front wheels by means of a small handle close to the driver. Un der the body, In a box, is carried the 44 cell storage battery, which has suffi cient power to drive the vehicle 25 miles on one charge, and at a rate of speed varied by a controller from a slow walk to 18 miles an hour. The ambulance, as described by the New York Tribune, is trimmed inside 1th leather, and has room for two patients besides the surgeons. Twenty candle power lamps are fixed at either side of the driver's seat, and another lamp of the same power Is placed In the roof and lights the interior. The win dows and the back door are plate glass. A new feature about the ambulance is the bed. This Is arranged so that it may be pulled out and still remain at tached to the body of the ambulance. When the vehicle bncks up to the side walk the bed Is drawn out and rets like a shelf over the sidewalk; when the patient has been lifted to it the shelf is moved back into its place. The new ambulnnceis supplied with all the modern fittings, and on a trial run it made a 14-mile trip to the perfect satisfaction of the builders. SATISFIED AT LAST.
