Riddle of Life.
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

MARYLAND DOWNS GORMAN
The Democratic Intriguer Meets His
Waterloo on His Own.
Battleground.
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.

BOSSES GET BLACK EYES.
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.

NOT A TRACE LEFT
Rheumatism Thoroughly Cured by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People.
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. The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
are guaranteed to be free from opiates or
any harmful drugs and cannot injure
the most delicate system. At all drug
gists or from the Dr. Williams Medi
