SETTLE. WEDNESDAY. mARCH .
LOST THUNDER.

Inc decision of the United States su-
preme court sustaining the legality of
the Dingley worsted act establishes the
constitutional soundness of Speaker Tom
Reeds ruling that quorum to do bust
ness was majority present in the House.
Tom Reed is very sound, strong lawyer,
ana ne took position that was clearly
impregnable.
The supreme court has also decided that
the Mckinley law with all its provisions,
including the reciprocity clause, is con-
stitutional.
ihese decisions will probably rob the
Denocratic olympus of large quantity
OF ieashed campaign thunder. The cpl
leptic Democrats who have been dra-
maticaliy denouncing Mr.. Reed as "a
tyrant" will probably call off their voices
hereafter, now that the supreme court
has defined his tyranny" a. constitu-
tional. The Democracy are in a bad way.
They have already burned their fingers so
badly fooling with Stree silver" that they
are disposed to drop that lunacy for the
present, and yet ON the matter of the
tariff there is small prospect of agree
ment.
The Mckinley tariff has justified itself
against the prediction of Senator Carlisle,
of Kentucky, that if it became a law it
would raise the average rate of customs
on dutiable goods to 60 per cent at the
very lowest, and on free and dutiable
taken together to at least As per cent.
The average rate of duties on dutiable
imports, instead of being increased to 60
per cent. has been reduced to 1926 per
cent.
The average of duties on both free and
dutiable imports, instead of being in
creased to 45 per cent, has been reduced to
25.25 per cent.
These average rates of duties are Sc
cured by taking the tariff revenue for the
fiscal year of the government ending with
June 80, 1891, and dividing it by the value
OF the imports for the year which paid
duties and by the total value of both duti-
able and free imports.
This reduction will be even greater when
the figures of imports and revenue for the
present fiscal year ending with June 80,
1892, shall be published, for July, August
and September of 1890. under the old tariff
of 1888, were included in the last fiscal
year, and the repeal of the sugar duties
was not operative until April l. 1891,
within three months of the close of the
year.
This charge of SenaSor Carlisle has been
as completely disproved Is the charge that
mckinley prices" would 6e higher all
around; that the tariff revenue would be
increased rather than diminished; that
free sugar would benefit the sugar trust
and not the consumers of sugar; that tin
plate factories could not be established;
that reciprocity could not be enforced.

Sir Frederic Goldsmid, IN a recent lecture on
PERSIA" says that the great poet, Omar Khay-
yam, who has become so well known to English
readers through Fitzgeralds beautiful transla-
ton, is little known in his own country. Few
people there read his poems and fewer still I'M
derstand them. The most popular and honored
Persian poet is the Sheik Maslith- Din, who
wrote in the thirteenth century, and has the
highest distinction as poet and moralist. His
"Place of Roses" Ia appreciated out of Persia,
and it may be seen in India, printed or litho-
graphed in cheap form, packed in chests and
sold in hundreds and thousands for use in the
many schools where Persian is taught.

TRUE AND FALSE ECONOMY.

1.-THE word economy has pleasant and sat
lsfying sound, and there those who think
they can, by pronouncing the word often
enough, make seventy-hve cents do the work of
a dollar, and thereby safely stint the honest and
needed expenses OF great and growing coun-
try, Nobody disputes the virtues any more
than they do mathematics. Not every one who
cries Lord, Lord enters into the kingdom. Not
every ono who cries Economy, economy on all
the house tops is necessarily more yirtuous than
his peighbor Hon 7. B. Reed In The North
American Rerfelc.
There Is very much truth in Hon. T. B.
Reeds remarks which, although made
upon the national government, apply with
no less force to city affairs. 1t is just such
n problem as confronted Seattle two years
ago. and which was solved by the people
declaring emphatically in favor of liberal
expenditure in order to build up the city.
The cost has been heavy, but it must be
remembered that the money it took was
nearly all expended in the city. While
the city at large has derived permanent
benefit. a very large number of individuals
also derived an immediate benefit. Every
dollar of the money spent in the hiring of
labor went first into the pocket of the
laborer and then into the various channels

The great bulk of the work had to cease
At some time, but it was done gradually,
and now the city's expenses have been
veduced to a normal condition.

QUEEN ANNE HILL, SEATTLE.

Queen Anne's is very high indeed,
In altitude and market value;
As all the advertisements read,
And as the thoughtful brokers tell you.
She sits above the smoky town,
Apart from all its noise and rattleS
Serencly there, she gazes down
Upon the housetops of Seattle.
From sehome town to Steilacoom,
There is no more desired positions;
Though understand, do not "boom"
Particularly one 'addition").
IT'S not Queen Anne's ITSELF but what
You sec when you are on the summit;
The view exceeds the toudest thought
The lots receive their value from it.
All billy cities have one hill
Where public admiration fsstens;
We see this in seattle still,
Just as it was in Rome and Athens.
And it IL worth ones while to climb
The hill, although it be unhandy;
The view Is none the less sublime
Because the place is rough aud sandy.
Come on a summers afternoon,
lyon would comprehend these praises;
When in the sky the golden moon
Is floating through the purple hazss.
Beneath you, scattered FAR and near,
You see the city's streets extending;
Aud, further hack, you see Rainier
With the earliest stars above him bending.
And ere the lingering sunlight fades,
You see the clear Olympics cleaning,
And, in the East, the faint Cascades
In blue and crimson vapours dreaming.
The mountains are with splendor crowned,
Tie sun into the sea is dipping,
And there are lights on Puget sound
And distant bells and noise OF shipping.
But soon approaches starry night,
Who has the day with twilight followed,
And then the sea and mountains white
Are IN the gathering shadows swallowed.
Then comes tho night wind from the sea,
And on the darkening height we shiver;
Queen Auue's is then no more 10 me
Than the fats OF the Puyallup river.

Professor skeat, OF Cambridge University, pro-
tests against the assumption that Latin and
Greek are pronounced in the present day as they
were in the days OF Queen Elizabeth. He says,
however, that If scholars in the Elizabethan
era pronounced Latin and Greek as they did
English their pronunciation was fairly good,
for the reason that considerable number of
English sounds did not then differ materially
from the continental sounds. He says, how
ever, the notion that the word regina could at
that early day have been pronounced as in
modern English is extraordinary, for the mod
ern English "i," as in ''mine," was not at that
time invented. For the most part, however,
the seholars of Elizabeths day never heard the
pronunciation of Latin now employed

The California pioneer now having the best
claim to long residence on the Pacific coast,
says the New York Tribune, is believed to be
Alfred, or Don Alfredo, Robinson. who went out
from Boston in July, 1928 He was the clerk of
commercial establishment conducted by APP
pleton & Co., OF Boston, and was one of the pro-
tectors OF Richard Henry Dana while serving
his "two years before the mast" For time
Monterey was Robnson's headquarters, but his
business soon required him to visit San Fran
cisco, San Diego and other California missions
He married in 1859 and came back to Boston
for few months. His next trip East was in
1912, when he brought what he believes was the
first shipment of gold from California to Phila-
delphia. In 1913 he entered the service of the
Pacific Mail Company, and the following year
erected in San Francisco wooden house, which
cost $500 in New York and sold for $4,000. A
large part OF Mr.. Robinson's work since then
has consisted of the management OF Don Abel

rected as quickly as was consistent with
the maintenance of efficiency.

An interesting point as to what may cause
and what is peculiarly supposed to cause in
slant death is brought up by a case in San
Diego, Cal W. p Francis, an engineer in the
employ OF the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany, was hunting ducks near San Diego. He
partly concealed himself behind a battery. A
young man, J. l. Henshilwood, who was rowing
in the vicinity, saw portion of Francis body,
and, mistaking it for pelican, fred his revolver
at it, and the bullet struck and killed Francis.
The post-mortem examination showed that the
bullet passed directly through the center Of
Francis heart, but the evidence of persons in
the boat with Henshilwood and of others in the
vicinity was that after ne had been shot Francis
raised himself in his boat and fired two shots at
Henshilwood, evidently believing an attack
was being made on him.
