The demand of our government upon
Chile for reparation in the matter of the
murderous assault made upon our seamen
by mob Is Just, for according to the evil
dence the mob was aided by the armed
government police. 1t is not surprising
that the American seamen should be as
sauIted by the ignorant, ferocious mob,
because the opinion is generally enter
tanned in Chile that our minister to Chile
and the officers of our feet sympathized
with the government of Balmaceda. This
report and the seizure of the Itata would
be sufficient to start an ignorant mob
among the lower classes of South Amer
lean city, just as q mob rose IN Lisbon
against the English when it was reported
that Lord Salisbury had threatened TO dis
possess Portugal of some OF her debatable
land in East Africa. If the vio-
lence perpetrated upon our seamen
had been confined TO the mob our
government could hardly hold Chile to
very severe responsibility, since We were
obliged 10 tell Italy that the government
OF the United States was practically
powerless, if not Irresponsible, in the
matter of the New Orleans mob. but the
fact that the armed police of the govern
ment not only did not protect the I'M
armed American seamen, but actually
joined the mob in the attack and assaulted
our sailors with their bayonets. makes it
proper and necessary that the Chilean
government should be made to feel that
they are responsible when their armed
representatives of authority join a mob
to help murder American seamen.
Of course due consideration should be
given, and doubtless will be, by our gov
eminent to the fact that the new govern
ment in Chile is not yet firmly seated in
its recently captured saddle, and cannot,
of course, preserve law and order as effect
lively as we can in New York or Washing
ton or Chicago.

cent-looking as possible in the eye of the
law the contract says that the railroads
agree to charter space room on the Pacific
Mail vessels for at least 1.200 tons month
each way. For this privilege they agree
to make good TO the Pacific Mail S75, 900 a
month to the extent that the revenue Of
the steamship line falls short of that
amount. The combined roads had less
than 10000 out of the 5000, 900 to pay last
year.
These are the facts as we find them set
forth in the New York Sun. The Sun fur
Their says:
The so-called contract for space on the vessels.
however, Is misleading. The railroads do not
get any real shippers benefit from the space.
The railroads are not shippers and have no con-
signees who receive the freight. lt would be
ike the trunk lines chartering a certain amount
OF space on the cars OF the central traffic roads,
and If the latter did not get given amount OF
tonnage the former would make up the deficit,
so that the central traffic roads would make
good, comfortable revenue
The transcontinental lines make no excuse
about the 100000 annual subsidy which they
pay the Canadian Pacific railroad for keeping
out of the Pacific coast business In the United
to such enormous diferentiaIs that II was de-
cided TO get it out of the way by a subsidy. The
Canadian Pacific had secured about 81 per cent.
OF the business during the preceding year, and
the association roads agreed TO capitalize this
tonnage at the tariff rates and pay the Canals an
Pacific that amount annually, which would
make clean Sj00,GO0, without any cost for
transportation.
The complaint OF General Traffic Manager
Hannaford, of the Northern Pacific, is that his
road doesn't reach san Francisco, and it derives
no benefit from the business in and out OF that
port; therefore, IL insists on being relieved
from paying percentage OF the subsidy on yes-
sells leaving that city. Ii this were done, the
Northern Pacific would have nothing TO pay at
all. The Pacific Mail steamships do not touch
at points in Washington or Oregon.
The Northern Pacific, it is said, would not re-
cede from its demands, and it stated that il had
given its ultimatum.
The Southern Pacific, Atchison and Union Pa
cihc roads do the bulk of the business with the
Pacific Mail Company, but the Northern Pacific,
IL IS said. has been paying as large a share, and
sometimes larger share, of the subsidy than
the Atchisou. The percentage of each road
varies each month according to the tonnage.
The average per cent. OF the su bsidy paid an
nually by each OF the four principal companies
is something like this:

NAVAL IMPORTANCE oFTHE COAST.

The latest news from Chile and from
Samoa make it certain that our govern
ment will need an increased fleet in the
Pacific where troubles are also likely to
come at any time in China, Boring sea,
Central America and the Sandwich
Islands. The government has recognized
this necessity by ordering the Yorktown
to Valparaiso where she will arrive by the
middle of next month, and give the Balti-
more and San Francisco a chance to go
North for docking and the cleaning of their
hulls. The Pensacola is at the Sandwich
Islands, and the Iroquois at Samoa. The
Mohican and the Thetis are also in Pacific
waters. The Boston, it is reported. will be
ordered from the Atlantic coast to Chile
and may be followed by the Atlanta.
The government will at no distant day
be obliged to establish a permanent South
Pacific station, which is quite as necessary
as the present South Atlantic station.
Our Asiatic squadron has lately been re-
inforced by the Charleston and the Alert,
and is to be Joined by the Lancaster. the
Marion and the Petrol. Until this rein
forcement our Asiatic squadron had been
reduced to the Alliance, the old Monocacy
and the little Palos. When the Lancaster
joins the Asiatic squadron it is reported
that the Charleston will go to San Fran
cisco,
So increased in Importance have become
our Pacific waters that today we have not
single ship on the European station, and
on the South Atlantic station we have but
single ship, the Essex, to join which,
however, the Newark has just been dis
patched, to be followed, perhaps. by either
the Chicago or the Atlanta. In the North
Atlantic waters there are now the Philadel-
phia, the Kearsarge, the Concord, the Chi
cago, the Bennington, the Vesuvius, the
Atlanta and the Miantonomah.
When the navy yard is completed and
our navy increased to its full number Of
100 modern ships we shall some day see
fine government squadron riding on the
waters of Puget sound.

Like master; like man. A negro mob
in Texas has just burned negro who MUIR
dered his wife. The evil of all this bar
barous education to lawlessness is seen in
this fendish act. The negro sees negroes
lynched by the whites, sometimes hung and
occasionally burned, so the negro initiates
the master race and proceeds TO lynch the
criminals of his own color. If a native
white should murder a negro woman to-
morrow in Texas the negroes would not
dare to hang, much less burn him; nor
would he be in the slightest danger of be-
ing lynched by white mob. Even the
white mobs draw the color line at the
South. A white mob will lynch a white
man sometimes; a negro invariably; but
no colored mob is permitted TO lynch any
body but negro for crime.

A Ludicrous ApueaI,

superior, W lsconsins Leader.
The Tacoma Ledger complains that heavy
shareholders in the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company are engaged in booming new town
sites to the injury of that city and Seattle, and
appeals to the management for information
to whether their action is endorsed. The wall
OF the Ledger would evoke general commisera-
ton were it not quite so ludicrous. Tacoma
owes its very existence to the Northern Pacific, by
whom it has been doomed from nothing to what
1t is, and that too in the absence of any of the
natural advantages that are usually deemed
essential TO the permanent growth and prosper
ity of great city. 1t has enjoyed at the hands
of that great railway corporation the benefit of
a discrimination which, had it been possessed
of equal advantages with Seattle, would
have dwarfed the latter into in
significance; and yet Seattle has
gone steadily forward, for reasons which every
body understands, and all, save the denizens of
her overboomed rival, readily acknowledge
Having pretty nearly unloaded its real estate at
Tacoma, and consequently having no further
Use for boom at that place, il is not altogether
strange that the Northern Pacific should trans
fer its affections elsewhere. That it would do
so in such contingency was something torseen
by everybody outside of Tacoma.

Henry Cabot Lodge in a brilliant cam
paign speech at Boston the other day re-
piled to George NJ. Stearns' criticism of
his war record, saying he was only IL
years old when Sumter was fired on, nor
was he of military age to hire substitute
like Stearns. This reminds US that n re-
cent inquiry was made in the Posi-
lNTELLIGENCER as to what Theodore
Parker and Ralph Waldo Emerson were
doing when. the boys in blue were facing
the bullets" We are able to answer that
Mr.. Parker died in 1889, about two wears
before the war. What he was doing
when the war broke out we do
not know; we do not believe any
body knows, but if he wasn't doing
any worse than he did in this world, he was
was probably usefulIy and virtuously en-
ployed. AS to Mr.. Emerson. he was 50
years old when the war broke out, and was
therefore clean beyond the age Of military
duty in the field. At home he did his full
duty in helping the government by voice
and purse at every opportunity to put
down the rebellion. Few men of his age
contributed more by personal influence ::
by spoken and printed speech; by pecun-
iarv contribution, according to his
means, to support Lincoln's administra-
ton. Some of the old abolition
lists, like Wendell Phillips, were
impatient critics of Lncon's aduinistra-
ton. but Mr.. Emerson was always loval
to it, and in his correspondence with Car
lyle he is at great pains to rebuke and
correct his great friend for his bitter. IN

THE LATE JUDGE HEWITT.
Scraps of Reminiscence Concerning His
Career In This State.

The death OF ex-Chef Justice C. C. Hewitt at
his home near Tumwaier on Monday has re-
called 10 some of the older settlers incidents
Of his career. Mr.. Charles Prosch said
yesterday: 81 first met Judge Hewitt when I
was living at steilacoom in the latter fifties
The judge was powerfully built, over six feet
tall ami well proPortoned. He had great mus
cular strength, and there is a story that before
he came West he struck and nearly killed with
A single blow man who had iisulted some fe-
male relative OF the judges.

in the interior Of New York; and as clerk of a
court he acquired the rudiments OF his le-al

THE BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.

The census report of the production of
iron ore in this country furnishes most
notable proof of the value of protection.
In 1880 the production of iron ore
amounted to 7,120362 tons, valued at
$23, ,957. In 1889 there were 14,5lS,041
tons mined, valued at $33, 351 1878, an in
crease of nearly 104 per cent. in nine years.
The average value of the ore at the mines
was reduced from 1925 per ton in 1880 to
$3.50 per ton in 1889, and the lower cost Of
transportation made the reduction much
greater at distributing points. There were
IS ,227 persons directly employed in mining
the ore in 1889. and their total wages
amounted to sl5.45 lis. The average earn
ing for each man employed was $4O9.95.
This is one of the industries that the
Democrats sought to destroy by putting
iron ore on the free list. The trade COM
petition is now so great in the steel rail
business in Europe that the British manu-
facturer Is compelled to make enormous
sacrifices in order to secure business. Re-
Gently large Statfordshire firm took an
order for II, 600 tons of steel rails from for
eign government at f42s. Cd. per ton, a price
which, under the stipulations laid down in
the order, will result in the loss of nearly
fifteen shiiilngs per ton.
The tin plate product is daily increasing
in the United States, and prices here are
rs low rs in Wales, Notwithstanding the
great depression there in the trade.
Under these depressing circumstances it
Is not surprising that some Engishmen are
beginning to predict that Great Britain
will, before many years, be compelled to
become protectionist nation. The Ger
mans are crowding the English manufact-
urers not only in the matter of foreign
trade but in England itself. The London
Telegraph admits that IN a great variety of
articles the Germans have secured large
trade in London. To mention few only.
there are buttons, braiding, ladies' Jerseys,
mems cardigan jackets, bootlaces, dressing
gowns, woollen shawls, boots and shoes,
fancy hosiery and gloves.
In the two last named articles London
agent and merchant says that quite two
thirds of the goods which pass through
his houses are Of foreign origin. 1t must
come TO this at last, that if England can
not convert the world to free trade the
world viii finally force her to adopt pro-
teciionist legislation. English manufact-
uress are losing ground and obliged TO

slip upon workmen and their families.

opera-house on Friday and Saturday evenings
fresh from its brilliant run at the Bush street
theater in san Francisco Dainty little Marie
Heath, Of "Ole Olson" fame, is the leading at
traction as Little Dot. but she is surrounded by
lot OF clever people, fsvorites in Seattle, who
assist her in keeping up the merriment, which
scarcely ceases from the rise to the fall OF the
drop. Notably may be mentioned I. Wilmot
Eckert, Emma Berg, May Belle Eckert, Jessie
oliver, Frank Murphy, T. o. Miles, Al Feeley
and Matt Shelley. It is said TO be q bright,
sparkling, ludicrous bit of nonsense and has
everywhere made a hit. 1t should do well here,
where Miss Heath is such favorite. A special
matinee for ladies and children will also be
given on Saturday afternoon.
