Free traders in the realm of Her Majesty
Queen Victoria seem TO view the tariff act
as more serious breach in the protection
wall than do American tariff reformers. As
a rule the interested British have been
smart enough to refrain from public demon
stration but an exultant few have made
remarks that should set the people of this
country to thinking. For instance there
comes from Glasgow an announcement-for
which the United States consul at that
point is held responsible-in which II is
said that the passage of the bill will have a
most beneficial effect upon Giasgow's trade
The Mckinley act reduced Glasgows COM
merce to the tune of about two million
dollars; the German bill will increase Glas-
COWS trade in the present year alone to
the extent of about three million dollars
Then prominent wool merchant of To-
ronto says: AT last we Canadian wool
men will have an opportunity of selling
our goods in the United States. For the
past eighteen months we have had to grin
and bear 1t; now we have a chance of get
ting even. The protectionist claim is that
IL Glasgow fourishes the money gained
there will be lost by Americans, and II
Canadian wool men proceed TO get even"
they can only do 80 at the expense of their
competitors in the United States Time
alone can tell how the new tariff bill will
work in its general application to American
industries.

In his speech greeting the arrival of the
last rider in the great relay bicycle race
between Washington and Deuyer Gov
Waite of Colorado-although II seems I'M
necess lry TO locate him so particularly
remarked that the wheel is the greatest in
veltiOn of modern times. adding quickly:
Wheels in the head always excepted
This opinion. bubbling forth with the in
spiration of genius from a man Of tire
mendous personal experience in the matter
will be heralda.I as of momentous import
ence by a worried and nervous public. The
American multitude has been led to believe
that wheels in the head were beginning to
reach the plane of being absolute neces-
stiles for political preferment, especially in
the West. Llewellyn, in Kansas, Pennoye-
in Oregon. AltgeId in Illinois and the il
lustrious Waite himself, are striking ex-
anples of the distinction achieved by men
who have nothing but wheels in their heads
to distinguish them from the run of ordi-
nary c-anks, end consequently when one of
the immortal quartette emphatically asserts
that wheels in the head are not good things
sigh of relief goes up at the thought that
American politics and politicians may soon
be afflicted with them no more forever

bad grace for the House to object either to
the size of the appropriation or to the prin-
eipie involved in it, II is to be suspected
that the objections urged by the House
conferees are based more strictly UPON u
oesire to reduce the totals of the appropria-
lions than upon a doubt as to the respon-
sibnty Of the government in the case. 1t is
Unfortunate enough that the Senate CON-
mittee could not see its way clear 10 a set
uement of the claims of the injured at this
session without the House interposing it's
temporizing objection to an appropriation
Tor the death claims. Incidentally, 1t might
be mentioned that 5000 has been thought
by some judges a low market rate for hui
man life. 1t is the rate established by a
questionable law in some of the states, in
spired, it is thought, by the cupidity of
railroad corporations for their protection In
case of accident. 1t is certainly the least
amount that can be given, particularly In
tie present instance, where, almost with
out exception, each death caused by the fall
Of the building has placed family in al
most absolute want.

New York police officers have been tried
Tor all sorts of ofrenses. but not IN recent
years has one been accused Of cowardice
That charge. however may now be laid
upon Capt. Devery. who had already been
notified that the board OF police commits
sioners was ready to try him for offenses
developed through DIR. Parkhurst and the
Lexow investigating committee. The police
commissioners were ready to try Capt
Devery some time ago but the sudden
development of a mysterious illness was
announced by the defendant and post
Ponement Of the trial was quite probable
Just then, however, ii was suspected that
the captain was playing possum," so two
physicians were instructed to visit him and
report on his condition. Capt Devery de-
ciined to permit them to make any ex-
animation and when a second effort was
made refused to admit to his house either
the doctors or the police inspector who &C.
'eompanied them. INSTRUMENTATION" has
therefore been added to the Indictment but
the word is not expressive of the true sit
uation. The captain was simply afraid;
afraid to be tried. in the first place, there
fore his malingering. and afraid to be ex-
amined In the second place because he
knew his shammins would be exposed

of his well-knoWn dislike for any expenSi-

be said that the Senate has acted hastily
In this matter. Fourteen months and more
have passed since the country was shocked
by the fall of the building on 10th street
and nearly half as many months have gone
since the Senate began, through a commit
tee composed Of five of its most able men,
bers, to investigate not only the details of
the accident and the extent of the Injuries
sustained by the employees but also the
strict liability of the government in the
premises mere is absolutely no doubt
whatever that the twenty-oae men whose
heirs are now mentioned in the appropria-
ton were killed outright by the collapse of
the building. So carefully has the Conf
mittee wrought that ii has excluded
from this list two or three somewhat
doubtful cases Of death. and has entirely
withheld the claims for injuries. This re

The Star is panied to note that its Or

by the gifted confidence man who provides
the Herald with Chinese and japanese war
news In what at first glance appear to be

day is a palpable advertisement of two
