WINDOWS REPORT.
The Tariff Question a Delicate One 20
Doal With.

WASHINGTON, July 13.--Seeretary Win
dom will avail himself Of the quiet of Deer
Park 20 do some work on his annual report.
In that view he has had tables prepared
showing receipts and disbursements for
the fiscal year just closed, and estimates
Tor the present and the next fiscal
year, which will furnish the skeie-
ton for his thoughts. For il is evident that
mialmizelt as he may the surplus and so
taxation, aud therefore the tariff /:
must form the chief feature of his report.
!hls makes its preparation a much more
difficult task for Secretary Window than
was the preparation of his first aud last re-
port under President Garfeld's administra-
tlon. Then all he had to do was To record
the success of his, "Windom's," tn epopular
3per cents which he had carried through in
spite Of the fact that his predecessor, Secre-
tary sherman, had doubted their praotIca-
bility.
A TWo-EDoED SWORD.
Now he must discuss the two-edged tariff
question so as to please the republicans of
MINI esota, for it ia to them he must look
Tor the future qualification Of his ambition
for the Senate and the Presidency. Ths
republicans OF the state OF Minnesota are
divided more Of less equally into high
nrotectionists and tariff reformers. Their
leading representative at Chicago opposed d
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES repeal
plank which Mckinley put iu the platform,
and If it had not been for the "old soldier"
business Minnesota would have been a
doubtful state last fall. As It was, her lead
ing republican newspapers repudiated the
tariff part Of ths party platform.
THE DRIFT IN MINNESOTA.
Secretary Window knows, moreover,
knowing Minnesota 50 well, that tariff re-
form IL stronger there every year and that
by the time he is once more a candidate for
an elective Office, Minnesota will be n tariff
reform state beyond any doubt II Secre-
tary Wihdom could, he would probably
take up the recommendations of tariff re-
form where Secretary McCuloch laid
them down under the last republican ad-
ministraton
But he is under pledges to the high pro-
tectionistS, who elected Harrison with their
contributions and put Window in the cabi-
net by their recommendations, which will
prevent that. Consequently he is
expected TO write upon tue taxation ques-
tlon in that diplomatic style which he
knows how to employ SO that he will really
say nothing, while at the same time he will
seem TO say Just what each reader pre-
fers to see between the lines, leaving the
positive recommendations TO the Presi-
dent.

changes cars with the Canadian roads.
