The SwingAroundtbe Circle.

The presidents speeches on his tll-omened
Swinging round the circle have denoted
that he was appealing to the people rather
for support of a policy upon which he had
made up his mind than for help in making
up his mnd.-New York Times
There is an unfortunate ambiguity in the
the presidents attitude and speeches on his
Western tour. Il This arises from the fact
that he has to make partisan addresses In
the guise of a, non-partisan. When he ex-
horts his audiences to stand by him until
the fruits of the war; are secure, what does
he mean? He really means, of course that
people must not vote the Democratic ticket
in November. But, he cannot say this d.
rectly, for two reasons. One is that he is
travelling about as a war president" the
chief executive Of nation that has sunk
all it's differences at home" Besides that
the Democratic party is not committed
against garnering the fruits of the war 1t
is divided or silent on that question, as Mr.
Mckinley very ewelt knows. But the Demo-
Gratis are displaying an uncommon desire to
garner the fruits Of the congressional cleo
tons, and that'is really what excites the ap-
prehensions of the president He scents
certain party dissatisfaction If tho Republi-
cans find that, while they have been gather
ing in tropical fruits in Cuba and the Philip
pines, the Democrats have been laying in
winters supply OF native fruit In the shape
OF representatives and senator's. But he can
express his fears on this subject only vague
ly and Indirectly, 50 that the net result il

Bui ding Up Foreign Trade.

one Of the most striking revelations
or the past eighteen months is that OF
the less Of export trade by New York
city. 1t seems incredible that a system
should be. permitted to prevail in that
magnificent port-probably the most
ma gnlficent port so far as the joining.
and the depth Of waters, are concerned.
on the face Of the earth. But the decav
of the foreign commerce OF. New York
has been ever marked, more and more.
for almost a score of years. There is
no better harbor on the Atlantic coast.
and there is no port which vessels that
ride the Atlantic would seek with
greater pleasure to their owners than
that which nestles in behind the Mar
rows and the Highlands of the Nave
sink, at the point Of the confluence Of
the Hudson river with the waters Of
the East river and Long Island sound
The maritime element Of New York
city has for several years manifested
much concern respecting the gradual
decline of the foreign trade in that port
Some time ago a commission was an
pointed to inquire into the causes and
to recommend means for overcoming
the difficulties which stood in the way
OF the advancement of the commercial
interests Of the metropolis.
Charles A. Shieren, ex-mayor Of
Brooklyn, a member of the commission.
has recently paid a visit to Chicago
accompanied by J. NJ. Langley, Of New
York, also a member of the commission
Mr.. Shieren stated that while the en-
merce of the country last year increas
ed to the extent of $105, O0O, 900, New
York lost $40, 5000
The reason of this loss is attributed
by the Chicago News to what it STYLES
in very blunt language New York
hoggishness," and it proceeds to put
this word into the mouth Of an unnamed
merchant of Chicago. Possibly there
may be some justice in the application
of this term to the spirit which domi-
mates the export trade at the metrop-
oils. The railroads are and have been
for several years transporting the pred
ucts of the West and Northwest to the
seaboard, at that port, at gradually de-
Ginning freight rates. The competition
has been>sharp and severe, but the rail-
way lines have managed to transact
their business in a manner and on a
basis that has escaped penalty at the
~
mission, by which institution their con-
duct is controlled. 1t is maintained.
and it is true. that freight rates are
favorable to New York. The complaint
is that when foreign bound traffic
reaches that point the port charges are
so heavy, from one cause and another
that the merchandise cannot get out
to sea on nearly so favorable terms as
from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston
ard other Atlantic seaboard towns.

and larger tonnage in the trans-At-

Case Where His AK Did Not Work With .Neatness and
Dispatch"
why Didn't He Do 1t when Mayor

Why Didn't He Do 1t When Mayor?
From Backbone. the Official Organ of the
Prohibition Party.
In 1892, when the crusaders were making
life burden for the law-breaking saloon
keepers in Minneapolis, and a Democratic
mayor was in the chair an ordinance was
passed providing that no evidence against
saloonkeepers should be admitted unless OBJ
ta1ned by a police officer dressed in his uni
form at the time the evidence was secured.
This thrust at liberty and law brought out
storm OF indignation which filed the
Lyceum theater. An overflow meeting then
gathered IN Hennepin Avenue M. E. church,
which was soon filed, and Plymouth Congre-
gational church was also opened. David NJ.
Clough defended the measure in a Repubi-
can gathering, and Mr.. Eustis who was at
that time setting pins for the mayora.ty
contest the coming fall. is quoted in the
Tribune of Feb. 16 as follows:
IF the mayor and the police force do not
enforce the laws, what can be done?"
Elect another" answered Mr.. Clough
And am to wait thundered Mr.. Eustis,
It'll my children are in heIl7 1t is my sacred
duty, it is the sacred duty of every citizen,
when officials fail of their duty to make
complaints against violators of the law It's
your duty and mine to do this. Nothing has
been done by the mayor or police; crusaders
have been the only ones to report the saloons
wide open"
But, when Mr.. Eustis was elected mayor,
presto, changei his solcitude about his chill
dren going to the abode Of his satanic males
ty was all gone. On Nov. 15, 1893, in the
First Baptist church, the ministers Of the
city, who had become much aroused over
the fact that the saloons were VIGOROUSLY
wide open on Sunday, and nothing had been
done by the mayor or the police, and the
crusaders had been the only ones to report
the saloons wide OPEN" held meeting to
discuss the outrage. Mr.. Eusus was present
and was pinned down, after much foundering,
to the question: what do you intend to
do with the Sunday saloon?" He said: Il
do not say that 1 shall not close the Sun
day saloons. l may want to close them next
month, or the month after. 1 am studying
and investigating and taking advantage of
everything that will make this city more
desirable a home. I have work to do.
You must let me do it in my way, and l
will let you do your work in your way"

The true sentiments Of progressive
ness are expressed in the above. The
men In control of the commerce Of the
Pacific coast evidently have proper
comprehension of their duties in con-
nection with It's highest promotion. It
Is fortunate that this is so. in the
light Of the fact that from the Western
coast of our country, during the next
we are almost standing. the great cur
rent Of product for export Is likely to
flow to all the nations of the East.
The plant that is put forward in
sympathy with New York, by It's repre-
sentatives on the commission, should
supply lesson to those charged with
the conduct OF commerce on the Pa
cif1c coast not to become possessed too
strongly Of the spirit Of aggrandize-
ment.
There are many inlets and bays on
the Pacific coast Of North America adj
niirably adapted for seaports, and in
these days. when the quick calculation
or enterprising railway managers can
offset local oppression by shifting to
and establishing some other locality Of
trade, 1t is just as we'll for the towns
already established to conserve their
own interests by the liberal treatment
OF others. as illustrated in the case of
Portland, referred to above.
