As the workmen pumping were looking

were plying about uvor the spot where the i
caisson hud Btood nnd lights danced to and

H They had hardly got clear of the caisson
when the water burst through the man hole ,
Knocking thorn all into the river
' Huddix saw Mortis , who was climbing
next below hiuisolf , swiftly drawn under by
H the sand Ho heard his cries for help , but
could do nothing
The caisson is not wrecked , as first sup
posed , but has Bottled down in the bed of

constant and easy as the rippling waters ot

Btructlve ' Ho was us original in Ills ideas as

Judge Kelley was the greatest tariff advoJ'
cato the country hus over produced Ho was
nmoug tbo very earliest of our statesmen to
advocate a tariff for protection , nnd hu main
tained hU principles in this respect against
the fact thnt the revenues of the country
were greater than were necessary Ho
maintained that it would bo bettor to pre
serve the present tariff 011 all the raw mate
rials which could bo produced in this conn-
try and on nll tbo manufactured urticlea and
to expend the money in internal revenue Im-
urovemunts than to reduce the customs
duties to the minimum rovenuosioauired for
public expenditures , lu this ono respect be
was bohiud the advanced steps of the leaders
of his party , who advocate u tariff levied as
incidental protection rather than us the prl-
mary object of its creation
. Personally there was not a moro popular

a man of great patlenco and was the soul of
honor and courtesy Ho was kl.'d und at-
