HIDE AND SEEK ON TARIFF,

Many or our valued Republican
contemporaries are. deriving c.,Dsid-
cradle fun from tx. change. in tariff
theories now alleged 20 be goiog on in
the Democratic rarty. They Seem TO
forget that within tie last few years a
change, almost revolutionary. on the
same question took place in the Re
publican party.
When the Mckinley bill passed both
houses of Congress and received the
signature Of President Harrison all
the Republicans in the land whtoped
with glee and sung the praise OF Will
liam Mckinley until they were hoarse.
With a tax on everything used py a
human being from the time he was
laid in the crib until he was lowered
into six feet OF earth the Republicans
Rlorified and saw the millennium
sticking above the horizon.
That was in 1890. Two years later
the Democrats -mopped the earth with
the Republican party. 1t required
several days OF shoveling to get the
sno" off its PROSTATE, frozen remains.
And no sooner did the Republican
heads appear above drifts than their
mouths opened in ~denunciation Of
William Mckinley and his law.
Ibere was not a Republican who
would not take oath that his party
that his party was not defeated by the
Mckinley law and hat William Nc
kinley was as dead, politically, as a
mackerel. This country, the Repub-
llcans declared, no longer needed a
high protective tariff; Il industries
were no longer infantile to be nursed
on the bottle of protection; protection.
Indeed, was an issue that. would no
longer separate the Republican and
Democratic parties.
That was in 1892 and 1898. Then
the panic, which was the natural re-
suit OF fool economic and financial
systems, struck the country and |
keeled it over 90 its beam ends And
1t is not righting itself verv rapid,v
yet. With the panic came the Re.
publican clamOr for a protective tariff
for our industries, which in a wear
had become infants again. As Mr.
MCKINLEY was the greatest Iiyirp
apostle OF the protection tn. orv his
name was caught by the Republican
wind and The first the country knew
MT. Mckinley was exhumed from his
political grave and hailed as the new
Moses. Incidentally the Mr.. McKin-
ley who was politically dead a few
years ago is the livaliest man in this
country today.
Thus we see the grand old Repuhli-
can party shifting lis political convic-
tons with all the ease and grace of
ilghtning-change artist. And today
1t Is split up the back on the Dinplev
bill. Therefore. so far as the Rennh-
party is concerned, the north
star is more constant by several
points.

SIR JULIAN NOT OFFENDED.
Secretary Sherman's Pointed Let
ter to Mayor Strong.


New York, A priI % The followingI letter
from Secretary Sherman was received this
morning by the mayor:
Department OF s tate, Washington, April
22.1s97.
Hon. william L. Strong, Mayor, New
York City:
MY Dear Sir: There has been a good
deal of ffoClish matter printed in the papers
here about the question of etiquette as TO
whether the President and his Cabinet
should prccedc the ambassadors of foreign
countries and other members of the dipIo-
matte corps in the procession to the tomb
OF Gen Grant.
II am informed by Sir Julian Pauncc-
fote and the French ambassador that the
alleged struggle for precedence between
the members OF the Cabinet and the diplo-
matte corps is pure fiction The ambassa-
dors have made no request or claim in
regard To the ma tier of precedence. and
am advised by one of them that they Will
not participate in the procession, but will
take whatever position is assigned them
on the stand where the ceremonies of dedi-
cation are to, tAe conducted.
Il wish you would give notice to the
gentlemen charged with the duty of as
signing seats to the different invited guests
of the city that they should assign proper
places 10 the ambassadors and ministers
OF foreign nations, as well as to the Prrsi-
dent, Vice President and members of the
Cabinet, without any preference To one
body of visitors over another
VERY truly, yours, JOHN SHERMAN"

Mother Mckinley.

Perhaps the most notable figure, next
| to Mr.. Mckinley himself. at the incoming
| of this Administration, was the aged
mother OF the President. She was un-
doubtedly the happiest woman in the
whole United states just then; and as she
reads in the papers the way in which her
son is filling his high office, of his kindly
manners and unfailing tact, and how he
| is winning friends for himself among all
Americans. surely she must be still more
proud and ha appy, + possible, than she was
| six weeks go,
She has just celebrated her eighty
eighth birthday, and after the manner of
grandmothers, who have reached this adj
vanced age, her health is better than that
of many people of hair her years When
she was here it was noticed that she
rather resented the imputation that she
needed any help in getting out of car
riage, and, In fact, 1t was quite mneces-
sarv She enjoyed the sights and sounds
OF Washin gton during the Inauguration, as
| much as if she Were a girl OF twenty, but
after awhile she wearied of the noise and
confusion, and began to long for her old
home at Canton. And it is there that she
held a reception on her birthday, the 22d
of April. The letters aud kilograms poured
In so fast that if the telegraph clerk had
not known what day it was, he might
have supposed that another political cam
paign was on, for Canton has been quiet,
AS a rule, since March 4, and the post
master has ceased to charter a tw o-horse
wagon to send mail To the Mckinley man
sion.
1t is safe to say, however, that 10th the
postmaster and the telegraph clerk knew
what was the ma tier, and that everybody
IN Canton knew, as well as many friends
OF the family who are not in town. and
they all had some gentle an d kindly thought
for the Presidents mother 1t IS good
that she should know these thoughts, and
that she should receive them there, in the
home which has been hers for many years
Much as the President would like TO have
her here with him, he is wise, and he
knows that people, like trees, take root
tcnaciousIy sumewhere near the hearth
stone, and cannot be lightly tIansplanted.
He knows this, and he knows, too, that
the network of electric wires which cover
This land will take care that his Hghtest
word does not fan TO the ground. There
are some disadvantages in having ones
daily life reported for hundreds OF papers
every day, almost every hour, but when
this dear old lady reads those papers in
her Ohio home, she must feel as if the
whole staff of Washington correspondents
was engaged in sending her letters from
her son. and she must also feel now, if
never before, that they all, to nan,
honor and reverence the mother Of their
President.

WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. APRIL "a.
Constantine's Trap Springs.

II we may entirely credit yesterday
evenings dispatches from the Greek front
the trap laid by Prince Constantine Tor
Edhem Pasha has done its work, and
the latter has been compelled to retreat
from the attack upon Tyrpavo and take
refuge in Milouna Pass. where his line,
supported by the position OF Nezeros a
little TO the east. which he had cap.
tUred and still held yesterday morning,
viii Toe subject TO assault from front and
rear.
The tide of battle appears to have
turned. through a splendid forward move
ment effected by part of Prince Constan-
tines immediate command from Matt, a
small place to the right of and near Tyr.
nave Judging from the map and meager
accounts Of the struggle, this movement
must have resulted in doubling Edhem'
left Oh his center, and placing his whole
force within range OF an enrfIadins fire
from the Greeks delivered from the Tyr
nave line in front and the advanced Matt
attack on their flank
Nothing has transpired so hopefully
for the Greek arms since Edhem as
saulted Milouna Pass. Gen Smolenitz
appears to be active in the Turkish rear,
in the neighborh5od of EIiasona, and If
his luck should prove as good as that OF
the crown prince there may be little
left of the MoSlem horde for Edhem to
turn over to his successor.
That successor has been named in the
person OF the redoubtable Ghazi Osman
Pasha, the hero of the battle Of Plevna,
the great struggle OF the Russo-Turkish
war The fact OF this change is encour-
aging from the Greek point Of view, as
had made a strategic blunder in plan-
ming his campaign against Larissa by
way OF Mnouna and Reveni Passes. AS
it seems To have eventuated, he has been
hurled back into the one and never was
able to take the other. Accounts are
misleading If he is not now in d death
trap triangle between the commands of
Prince Constantine Gen. Mavromichaclis
and Gen Smolenitz
1t is almost too good to be true. If
true. it is not worth while to discuss the
other Greek successes in the west and
on the sea, Ia the same breath.

a Question of ComnetancY,

The Timesis in receipt of communication
from one of its readers, apparently q
marine engineer by training, criucising the
engineering department OF the Navy in con-
nection with recent accidents to our battle
ships and cruisers. He does not think the
Annapolis engineers are competent to han
die the machinery of our new ships, He
regards them as book" experts, and SAYS
that they do not make their own repairs
on board, but that a force of machinists
is maintained for that purpose, for their
benefit he declares that in consequence
OF the inconpetency OF these gentlemen,
there is not vessel in the Navy that can
make within three or four knots of the
time made by the same craft on her tlial
trip Finally, our correspondent expresses
the conviction that the accidents to the
Brooklyn, in the Delaware River, and
to the oregon, in Puget Sound, We're due
to the inefficiency of the commissioned
engineers
<ao W VIC idol IA We dlS ilOb iiiIo-
taken, the accidents occurred under cir
curnstances which would seem to refer
the blame, If there was any, to the navigat-
ing officer for the time being; and on the
general question of efficiency we are not
ourselves competent to judge. If the
naval engineers graduated from Annapolis
lack the experience necessary to properly
handle the mechanism of a great modern
battleship, they ought to be, and perhaps
are, put through the proper course of train
ing before being intrusted with so much
responsibility for life, property and ma
tional interest Our readers commupica-
ton seems to be another Of the many mani
festations OF antagonism between the
Annapolis engineer alumni and the alumni
of the civilian machine chops and engine
rooms. 1t may be that, in Instances, the
one depends too much and the other too
little on books and theory. Doubtless
both are efficient and admirable on tile

The Turks, on the whole, are mo re merci-
fol than the Spaniards, according to re-
cent dispatches This suggests a new idea
for the settlement of international COM
plications. Why not make this pro-
gressive row, Cuba exchanging antagonists
with Greece? The Cubans would be better
off, Spain would be wiped out in some
thing less than a quarter OF an hour by the
energetic Hellenes, who could talk, on oc-
casion, at the same time that they We're
fighting, and. subsequently, Greece and
Cuba could join forces against Turkey. and
divide up the Sultan S empire to suit them
selves. If the powers are going to play
chess with the rest Of the nations on the
map, this would be good gambit to start
the game.

for the purpose OF propagation. 1t is now
known that seals breed numerously outside

extend this zone far enough to include
