The Sensitive President.

Washington Capital.
The President is growing extremely SEN
sitive-morbidy sensitive, indeed-to any
newspaper intrusion, or Intrusion OF any
sort, upon what he seems TO deem his spe-
cial personal and official privacy. Not only
are all Of the persons about the White
House, who officially or personally come In
contact with him, enjotned TO the closest
secrecy touching anything which might be-
considered news about him, not only is Mr..
Thurber deputed TO be the only safety valve
through which any informal ton, whether OF
fetal or private, may escape, but all or the
friends Of the family-men, women, and
children even-are enjoined to the utmost
secrecy with regard to the presidential
thoughts and movements and the general
presidential condition. IL one mentions Mr..
Cleveland, or Mrs. Cleveland. or the babies,
the lady friend doesn't put her fingers 10 her
lips significantly, but dead silence seems 10
fall upon the conversation, and the subject
is promptly changed. 1t is not known, or
course (for nobody but Mr. Thurber may
expect to fathom the presidential reason for
things) why all this mystery and sensitive
ness should abound 50 plentifullv one SUD-
position is that Mr.. Cleveland is extremely
FESTIVE under the weight or public criticism.
That is not likely however, il seems 20 me:
Another explanation is that Mr.. Cleveland
feels troubled about his health.

Cleveland organs are finding great con-
ISOLATION in the gratuitous advice which An
drew Carnegie gives the Republican SEN
ators in a letter in the New York Tribune
as to tariff legislation. Mr.. Carnegie has
got his iron industry where he prefers to
come into open competition with Europe
with low duty than with competitors in
this country. He expects to do this by re-
ducing wages. The Republicans were de-
feated by the labor troubles which the Car
negie people fomented at Homestead in
1892 His policy did more to make protec-
ton temporarily unpopular and to drive
away the vote OF organized labor than all
other causes combined. Republicans gener-
ally SO regard the matter. consequently
they consider the advice of the man who
defeated them willfully in 1892 as an i'm
pertinence.

The statement of Mr.. Theodore Justtce,i
a member of an extensive wool commits
sion house in Philadelphia, regarding Mr.
Bynum, will, but should not, astonish his
constituents. When told that the duty
on wool is necessary to enable the Amer
lean wool-grower to compete with the
Australian, Mr.. Bynum asked: What is
to become of these Australian wool-grow-
ers if they are not allowed freer access to
our markets." Mr.. Bynum is eager to pass
a bill which will injure the sheep industry
of the United States. the third largest in
the world, but he is solicitous regarding the
welfare of Australians in the same in
dustry. The American who pays taxes to
support government can be ruined without
a scruple, but the Australian, a British
subject. with cheap lands, kept in order
for the industry by the British government,
is the first object of his solictude. This
loss Of interest in American industry and
quick thought of foreign competitors is
one Of the results OF the free-trade fad of
which Mr.. Bynum is one of the most de-
luded victims He no longer desires to
legislate for American interests, but for
those Of the world. Still, he should try
and remember that he is a member of an
American Congress.
