In ;.iy 50 years of business life 1 have employed thousands of poor men from Maine to Virginia—men who suf fered ills of the flesh, hard knocks of poverty and bruisings of the spirit, writes a correspondent of ~the New York Sun. I have seen men whose lives had no light, whose careers of fered. apparently, nothing but unhap piness and sorrow. Yet of the thou sands of men in such cases that 1 have known only one committed suicide. On ihe other hand I remember that the successful man who built up the largest American steamship line in the United States, the head of another influential American steamship line, the head of the oldest house connected with the American sailing vessels, whose name i*-: known to all old-time shipping mer chants. committed suicide. In Brook lyn the owner of the largest ware house, and in Wall street the president cf a bank, in the freighting business a prominent broker, a member of the produce exchange, one of the mem bers of our largest sugar refining com panies. related to the heads of the company, also killed themselves. As no scandal was attached to these men and I hey had no business troubles, and they led active, honorable careers, loved by I heir families, with every thing to live for, some of them being members of churches, I wonder what led them to self-destruction, when mis erable wretches whose every moment is spent in suffering are so tenacious of life? What causes or effects or reasoning could urge these able, suc cessful men to self-destruction? Victory of Concession. It was a significant utterance com ing. as it did. from a Russian peace 1 rince, that the late treaty of Ports mouth was "a great diplomatic victory fot Mr. Witte, but a great moral vic tory for Japan." That the world re gards it as such is not strange, says a writer in Four Track News, but it was not to be expected ihat one of the Russian royalty would admit as much. The New York Tribune, voicing public fcc-ntiment, said: "In yielding her claim l'or indemnity Japan has Won ihe re spect aud admiration of ail civilized na tions." The victory of concession in the interests of peace and humanity belongs to Japan, quite as much as her repeated and uninterrupted victories in the field. Russia would concede prac tically nothing, and the unprecedented spectacle was presented of the victors making most of the concessions. From a purely greedy, diplomatic view point Uussia gained a singular advan tage; from the higher, broader, more bumane viewpoint. Japan gained all. Iu the eyes of the nations Japan won her greatest victory in her apparent diplomatic defeat, for bail she, the victor, been as obdurate and unyield ing as were the Russians, whose whole war record was nne of repeated Jis as ttr no peace would hau come out of Portsmouth. The treaty was the (■owning victory for Japan, and a magnificent triumph for those prinei -1 les which make for permanent peace iu the fraternity of nations Patrons of a small public library in New Kngland who fail to find in lis books of reference information that they stek are invited to wiile their question on a slip, which i pasted on the bullet Iti-hourd.

One of the gratifying results of the elections was the defeat of Senator Gorman's "grandfather" amendment to the state constitution of Maryland by a majority of from 20,000 to 24,000. This is gratifying, says the Chicago Chronicle, as a failure of one attempt out of many to nullify a provision of the national constitution. The real purpose, as everybody knows, was that, which has been accomplished in most of the old slave states by the incor poration of substantially the same pro vision in their constitutions. That pur pose is the disfranchisement of men not because of any persona! unfitness for the exercise of political rights but because of their race. The purpose is not avowed, of course, because disfranchisement for such cause is expressly prohibited by the constitution of the United States. Nothing is said about race in any of the grandfather amendments. But they are so framed that they may be made to work disfranchisement of ne groes without affecting white men un less they are immigrants or descend ants of comparatively recent immi grants. Here we discover the reason why the amendment was defeated in Mary land. That state differs from the most of those which have resorted to this mode of nullification in that it has many white voters who would be dis franchised by the impartial enforce ment of the grandfather rule. Other southern states have some such voters, but in most or all of them there is a tacit understanding that in practice the grandfather clause will not be ap plied to them. In Maryland such an understanding was out of the question. It was cer tain that if the amendment should be invoked for the disfranchisement of negroes it would also be invoked for the disfranchisement of whites. It would have to be enforced impartially. Mr. Bonaparte, the recognized repub lican leader in that state, gave notice of that and called attention to the fact that the amendment would disfran chise as many white voters as black, and perhaps more. The white voters who were in dan ger of disfranchisement naturally threw their strength against the amendment and the party that pro posed it. No private assurances by the democratic leaders that the amend ment would not be applied to them were accepted, aud so the amendment went down and the democratic party with it, perhaps. Senator Gorman staked his own po litical future on the amendment and lost. If the democratic party recovers from the shock of defeat and continues to control the state Mr. Gorman will no longer lead it. His party may be the gainer. Gor man is not a statesman in the true sense of the word. He is merely a party manager of some skill. His party leadership in the senate has not been one of principle. It has been a tactical leadership only. As a tacti cian Gorman is shrewd and resource ful, but unsafe because of his lack of principle. His party in the state and in the senate is not likely to lose anything by his retirement from leadership.

Successful Rebellion Against the | Kule of Professional Ring- Leaders. Chicago voters were apathetic be cause no question of principle calleU them to the polls. They liatl to pass only on Ihe qualifications of some candidates —many of them of equal merit. In com munities where there was a "burning issue" the excitement was intense, the* vote heavy, and the result a matter of more than local interest. The issue in volved in the elections hold in New York city, Philadelphia, and in Pennsyl- i vania, Ohio and Maryland was whether j bossism should be triumphant or have I a fall. Everywhere when the issue was well defined the bosses were bumped, ' says i lie Chicago Inter Ocean. A few months ago no bosses seemed so ( firmly seated as those who completely ruled Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. I A successful rebellion against them ' was looked for by no one. There had j been insurrections in the past, but they j had been put down with ease. The bosses carried the abuses of bossism toa ' far, and as a consequence they have lost Philadelphia and the state treasury. | They no longer can plunder the city or speculate with state funds. Senator Gorman was a boss who i wished to make his position impregna- j ble through the machinery of adisfran- ! closing amendment. The senator has ! had the reputation of being remarkably j astute or cunning, but he did not. per- ! ceive that he was trying the patience of Marylanders too far. The question they had to pass on was whether he should remain boss, and they voted in the neg- j ative. The republican ticket in Ohio would not have fared so badly if the voters ! throughout the state had not wished to j administer a deserved rebuke to boss-1 ism as exemplified and intrenched in ' the Herrick-Dick machine. The dem-! ocrats carried Hamilton county, and the defeat of Boss Cox is followed by his resignation. The whole state has gone against the bosses of the state machine. | The triumph of Jerome was a protest j against boss rule. The heavy vote cast [ for Mr. Hearst was another protest. The lesson of the last election is that the people are tired of the bosses —even ! when they are "beneficent." If there j had been arrogant bosses In cities or states where the vote was light and lit tie interest taken in the result, the vote would have been heavier and the bosses | would have been smashed in them as they were everywhere else. REDUCTION OF THE TARIFF Stability Is Absolutely Necessary in Order to Insure Business Prosperity. It is an amusing, if not an interest ing, study in ignorance to read many | of the expressions on tariff revision. The question of ai American tariff, says the Carthage (Mo.) Press, is only j i a question of American expediency. ! I A revision or even a threatened revi- j ! sion of American tariff produces a rest- , lessness unfavorable to the general prosperity of all lines of business. A tariff once intelligently adopted should j embody a fixed policy, such as is in- j corporated in the Dingley bill, one to i be depended upon. To make a tariff policy a political football is ruinous j to trade. The main reason why American pro- , J tection should be imposed against the j | nations of the old world is involved |in the question of labor values. The : ; workman of America enjoys a higher ! standard of living than his European i brother. He is better educated, of | higher tastes, accustomed to greater : j comforts and more privileges, tliere i fore his requirements are enlarged, i ! He is on a higher plane than the equal !ly skilled foreign producer. It is the ; tariff that has made this possible for i him. Let us suppose two factories, one in England, the other in the United ; States. Both use the same modern ap- I pliances and the cost of raw material i iis approximately the same. But the American proprietor pays his help two dollars a day, while the Englishman gets his for one dollar. If the protec tive tariff liars were taken down could the American manufacturer success fully compete with his English rival i unless hp is able to obtain labor at j the same prif-e? That is the tariff issue in a nutshell. "But the farmer pays the tax!" Not ' while the factory help are buying the products of the farm for their con sumption. They pay the farmer more for the results of his toil than he < could receive were the wages reduced to the European scale. Aside from the protective element a tariff schedule Is the most natural way anil means for raising a revenue i for the national expenses. It i.-t less j cumbersome and more popular than di ! red taxation, and in varying degree | the fuu-ii'ij producer also contributes toward the desired result. £ Canada's puz/lcd tariff reviser* talk of |Mistp<iniiig lh«lr report until! i!m~, which ma> lie called mainline pat ! mi the installment plan Hi.

There Is one remedy that will euro rheumatism in nny of its forms and so thoroughly eradicate tho disease from the system that tho cure is permanent. This remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and the proof of tho statement is found in the experience of Mr. T. S. Wstgar, of No. 7:2 Academy street, Watertown, N.Y. lie says: "The pain was in my joints and my Bufferings for over two years was beyond description. There was an intense pain in my shoulders that prevented me from, sleeping and I would get up and walk the floor at night. When Ibegan taking Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills the improve ment was gradual, but by the time I had taken four boxes I was entirely cured and I have not had tho slightest touch of rheumatism since that time." Mr.Wagar's wife is also enthusiastic) in her endorsement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says : "I have tried the pills myself for stomach trouble and have experienced great relief from their use. My daughter, Mrs. Atwood, of Gill street, Watertown, has used them for female weakness and was much ben efited by them. I regard Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People as an ex tremely valuable family medicine." Dr. Williams' Pink Pillsliavecured the worst cases of bloodlessness, indigestion, influenza, headaches, backaches, lum bago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal weakness, and the special nil ments of girls and women whose blood supply becomes weak, scanty or irregu lar.
