interests are now endeavorfng to secure
a second cut by having the stamps on
bank checks retained. These latter fall
BY no means only on the weli-to-do. Most
people even of very limited means who
live IN cities place their current savings
in some bank for safe-keeping. Whenever
they want to draw a small sum, they
must pay cents to the government. This
is the tax which. next after that on real
estate conveyances and mortgages, should
be the FIRST to fall The tax on beer and
tobacco should be the last. The success
of the latter in finding any standing with
the committee has emboldened it to ask
for further favors. IF congress consults
the overwhelming public sentiment Of the
country, 1t will let the taxes on the brew
ing and tobacco interests stand exactly
as they are for the present.

territory owned absolutely by the United
States and subject only to its laws, mark
ed strongly and definitely the final change
in the form Of government from the loose
confederation OF independent states to the
compact nationality dealing with the other
nations of the earth as an independent
sovereignty, not as the mere agent of
number of states free to repudiate or dis
avow its action. For this reason the CEN
tennial OF the establishment of the seat
of government at Washington should have
been a great national holiday. The people
of Washington did not seem to appreciate
the opportunity which came their way:
no initiative was taken TO procure con-
gressional aid which would have been
forthcoming had washington's citizens
shown any disposition to make something
OF the affair. and great anniversary will
be observed only in the most perfunctery
way.

One of the most extraordinary verdicts
ever rendered was given yesterday by the
coroner's jury which exonerated William
T.. Langdon for killing Edward b. Shank
on the ground that the shooting was done
In seif-defence 1t may be that 1t was.
but the jury could not have known for
the excellent reason that no testimony
whatever to that effect was before It. The
evidence was confined strictly to facts
prior to the meeting Of the two men,
and the dying statement of the victim.
Not one word was uttered anywhere that
could bear on the conclusion reached. not
even the accused going on the stand. I'm
der these circumstances, how the jury,

OF seIf-defence. could embody that I'm

pusxie even those most familiar with the
vagaries Of the human mind.

Time for Protest.

The entire people of the United states
will indorse the protest that Gen. Chaffee
has made to the commander OF the allied
forces In China against the removal. by
French and German troops, OF the splen-
did astronomical Instruments that had re-
mained for centuries AFFIXED to the walls
OF Picking. IN fact. unless many reports
from Independent sources are at fault. the
occupation Of China has been one long
record Of disgrace that will make a fit
companion piece in history for the Boxer
outrages.
The incident In question Is far from
the least of the offences committed
against the Chinese. II happens to have
attracted particular attention because of
the indefensible nature OF the act of van
daiisn. the official sanction that appears
to have been given to IT, and the wide
are greatly mistaken, IT sinks to nothing

against the persons and property OF the
Chinese that have marked the presence
and progress OF the allied troops in China.

the extent of this by the evidence OF the

and distributed according to some fixed

Where Seattle Leads.

An interesting feature of the census re-
turns from the Pacific coast cities Is the
showing that Seattle occupies the second
place among them in the volume of its
manufactures and In the number OF men
employed In industrial enterprises. In
this respect II is exceeded only by San
Francisco. Yet Seattle does not pose as
distinctively a manufacturing city. In re-
viewing the influences which have led to
the upbuilding of this city. the majority
Of observers have laid more stress upon
its admitted lead in trade than the growth
Of It's local industries.
Its commercial supremacy Is even great
err than its manufacturing supremacy.
other cities on the Pacific. which once
controlled considerable trade, have seen
the circle within which they reign SUI
preme represented year by year with a
gradually shortening radius San Fran
cisco once monopolized the wholesale
trade of the Coast. 1t no longer con-
trolls absolutely the wholesale trade OF
California. At later date Portland con-
trolied the wholesale trade OF all Of East
ern Washington, Oregon and Idaho. and
the river counties of Warrington. and
competed for the trade OF Puget sound
with San Francisco. Its trade supremacy
IS now unquestioned only In the william
cite valley. Seattle's trade was confined
few years ago to such ports on Puget
sound as could be reached BY its locally
owned steamboat lines. every large trans
portation company being enlisted in OPP
posing Its advancement. I'm gradually ex-
panding circles 1t has extended. and 1t
now holds the bulk of the trade Of the
state. practically all OF the trade of Alas
ka. and has obtained strong foothold In
Asia and in the Hawaiian islands. Ana
to an extent relatively greater than is
the case with any other American seacoast
city. its commerce is carried on in vessels
owned at home.
Leaving San Francisco out. Seattle leads
every other city on the Pacific coast in
manufactures. In trade. In volume of its
banking business. In its ownership and
control of steamboat and steamship
lines. in it's annual expenditures
for building, In its coal shipments.
In the tonnage actually employed
in its foreign and domestic trade. and in
the number of transcoftinental lines of

the score of civilization. there is not much
to choose between the Boxer herdes and
the troops of modern Europe. when they
find themselves in control of people
whom there is none to protect. The
policy of the United States throughout
has been right not only automatically,
but because 1t has looked to the speediest
end Of an occupation that leaves TO the

action has been a protest against the
course OF the European nations in China,
and we are glad to see that protest made
formal. explicit and open.
