The President 10 Otticeseckers.

Sharp criticisms will be called forth by
the Presidents notice to "those seeking
public positions" that, after the first day Of
November, he will decline to grant inter
views TO them "or their advocates 1t is a
new departure, of Il nature calculated to hurt
the vanity of politicians. The olllceseekers
and "their advocates" have not been feeling
altogether kindly toward the President at
any time since the rush for positions began.
They will regard this notice as snub of
the most pronounced character, and will
not full to let the world know how they feel.
But the President shows just Gpprecla-
tion Of the fact that 'those seeking public
POSITIONS" however numerous they may ap-
pear when massed in Washington, are but
very small portion Of the American peo-
pie. lie understands that the great mass
of the people whose agent he is are "those
whose interests in the government are en-
tirely disconnected with oflicchollng.n ~
He is right in the conclusion that "a due
regard to the claims of these" demands that
his time shall not be frittered away on COM
peting applicants for positions or delega-
tions sent to push the claims Of local
bosses.
Under the new arrangement aspirants for
positions must reach the President II at all,
through the heads Of departments but he
will still be at liberty to seek information as
to their fitness for Office from such sources
as he may prefer and in such way or ways
as he may see fit to adopt
Probably about one in a hundred of the
voting population-including those who
have the best facilities for making noise
will emphatically condemn this shutting of
of the ofliceseckers. The 90 per cent. who
don't want offices, or, at any rate, don't
seek or expect them, will quietly enjoy the
discontinue of the ofllcehunting contin-
gent, and will put down legible mark to
the credit OF the President.
1t will be seen that the order shuts out all
but Cabinet officers and heads of depart
ments on three working days Of each weel;
in November. This is proper way of Sc
curing the time necessary for the prepara.
tion of the Presidents message and the
transaction OF such other official busines.

No state has more reason than Virginia

any state whose future would be more ser!-
ously maned by the reversal OF that policy,
which win surely come II the Democracy
ever obtains full legislative power.
Virginia has, IN recent years, been the
scene of magnificent industrial develop

have been invested In mines and mills.
Millions have hcen added to the taxable
property of the state by these enterprises.
All this has come directly from the protec-

At the same meeting good Bishop Duo

At the same meeting good Bishop Dudley,
of Kentucky, feeling sense of goneness,
cried out, "We want facts, the logic of
facts" Well, facts are invaluable, but
they are things which free traders, whether
they be bishops, clergy, or laymen, seldom
collide with. But the facts presented in
the above table are kindly commended to
the careful and conscientious consideration
Of the good bishop, in the hope that they
will do him power Of good.
When the party OF free trade left the al

ports at a marvellous rate, and they contln-
ued to grow until checked by the demoral-
izing influence of the free traders.

The Congressional Commission Seeks
Information from Manufacturers.
The commission Of the House, consisting of
Congressman Randall, Hewitt, Burns, Crisp,
1Iiscock Reed, aud Phelps, appointed to report
upon the policy to DO adopted. by the govern
ment TO secure supply ofordnanoe and armor
plate, has sent circular letter to the leading
manufacturers Of steel of this country asking
information as TO their willingness to under
take 10 supply either the raw material re-
qulrod for the manufacture OF guns, or the
guns completely finished, ready for use. The
commission calls attention to the recommcnda
tiOn of the gun foundry board, THAT the gov
ernment should establish Oh It's own territory
plant for the fabrication OF cannon, and
should contract with private parties to such
amounts as would enable them to supply from
the private industries Of the country the forged
ana tempered material
in view of this recomm ondation, the COM
mission asks 70 be informed whether steel
manufacturers would be willing TO enter into u
contract with the government of the United
States to supply the material, including the
rough boring, turning and tcmpering required
for guns of the largest caliber involving the
use of ingots of steel of the weight of 100 tons,
with u reasonable proportion of ingots of
smaller Size. lfwilllng to enter into such Il
contract, manufacturers are asked to iniorm
the committee how many tons of steel In the
aggregate they would regard MS II reasonable
amount to be contracted for deliverable over a
series of years, to be puid for upon inspection
and delivery.
The commission also desires TO ascertain
whether the manufacturers wOuld be willing
to put UP the machinery necessary to com.
plete the guns is the contract for the steel, as
above suggested, should fGrtii2- provide for the
delivery OF the guns ready for use.
The latter query may, the commission say,
alsO be answered b. parties who would not be
willing TO engage IN the production of the raw
material, and who might be willing to under
take to build the guns required By The govern
