Government Acquire Wilson Park.

Ii is understood that efforts are being
made through the medium of Gen. Josenh
Wheeler on the part OF the owners of VII
son Park in Congress Heights to exchange
that park for the land owned by the gov
eminent on the opposite side Of the road
from the Government Hospital for the In
sane, and on which the new buildings of
the asylum are to be built
The previous negotiations to effect this
exchange, II is said. were brought 10 a
close some time ago by the owners of VIII
son Park through letter sent by Mr. A F.
handie to the Secretary of the Interior
which stated that Wilson Park was not for
sale or exchange under any conditions. on
TINS understanding the government dropped
the matter and proceeded with the plans
LOT the erection of the new buildings au-
torlZed. The excavation necessary for one
OF these buildings is now in progress
Inc secretary Of the Interior IL is under
STOOD took the position during the previous
associations that the only exchange the
government would consent to would be on
the basis of acre for acre. The new, nrano-
Siuon mas not as yet been presented 10 The
secretary of the Interior Gen Wheeler
however, has had conference with Or.

In recent article treating of the ques-
ton of reciprocity We suggested that if
there were American products which no
longer needed the fostering influence of
the protective tariff as suggested by the
late President Mckinley at Buffalo, they
would undoubtedly be found among those
which had demonstrated their ability to
complete with the products of the cheap
labor Of the old world in foreign markets.
A few days later Senator Allison of Iowa
expressed the opinion that the protective
tariff on various iron and steel products
could be lowered without injury TO either
manufacturers or laborers.
President Charles NJ. Schwab of the
United States Steel company has confirm.
ed both of the above assertions by an adj
mission which he is said to have made to
a member of the British house of COM
mons. If he Is correctly reported, the
head of the steel trust told this English
visitor that he could deliver steel billets
in England for SIG 30 per ton, while no
British manufacturer could make them
for less than $40. This admission would
be sufficient to Justify the assertion that
the customs duties on steel could be
materially reduced without injury upon
the steel industry in the United States.
1nere Is, however. converse Sue 10
this picture which should also be closely
studied in this connection. The price of
the steel billets which President Schwab
said could be put down in Great Britain
by his concern for the sum of $3.50 per
ton were at that time commanding In
the vicinity of S2G per ton in the market
of the United States. In other words
the steel combination is compelling
American customers to pay profit of
$3.50 per ton on steel billets, over and
above the price at which it could deliver
the same in England and pay the ex-
pense of transportation by rail and
steamship from Pittsburg to the point
of destination.
Under these circumstances there would
seem to be no good reason why congress
should not seriously consider the mOdifi-
cation of the protective tariff on iron
and steel products in connection with
J any plan of recipl ocity which President
/ Roosevelt may recommend in his forth
coming message. The steel trust can nc
longer be regarded as an infant industry,

crime committed last Friday will have
borne one not altogether deplorable fruit
if 1t is found that the long tolerated and
gravely abused custom of general and
public handshaking at presidential recep-
tons has vanished In the smoke of CZoi-
gosz's pistol shot.
For the survival into our day of this
dangerous custom there has never been
practical or adequate reason. In the
earlier years of the Republic, when the
working hours of president were fewer
and his periods of leisure were more ex-
tended, he could endure with safety,
perhaps, the strain of meeting and greet
ing the far smaller number of his fellow
citizens with whom he came in personal
contact. No president before the war OF
the rebellion was ever so engrossed In
public business that he could not spare
the strength and time to shake hands In
democratic way with the relatively few
callers who sought his presence at the
White House or gathered to welcome
him on his infrequent travels. An
American president nowadays, burdened
with the enormous and incessant cares of
his great office, can yield to the impor-
tunities of the thousands who seek to
greet him personally only at an exorbi-
tant expenditure of both time and physi-
cal effort. TO man of delicate physique
the mere task of Handwriting to which
the average president has In recent years
submitted would threaten bodily collapse.
With its added invitations to the hare
Drained anarchist, burning to glorify
himself through great political crime,
the public reception has become under
our democratic system positive peril to
any chief magistrates health, safety and
mental peace.
1t may be centended that the American
people are Jealous of their political Gus
toms, and would surrender the habit of
easy and general access to the president
with unconcealed regret. We do not
| think for moment that this can be the
American public's unreasoniDg and mar
row view. As people we have true
and deep respect both for the presidency
and for the man who yields its august
and far reaching powers, and no false
sentiment will deter us from abandoning
custom which has no real root In our
political ideals or our political necessi-
ties. 1t is in the degrading idea, fostered
by demagogic politicians, that the presi-
dent is only "the hired man. of the peo-
pie that the practice of miscellaneous
Handwriting finds its chief support. To
/ the upholders of the "hired man" theory
it seems only natural, of course, that any
citizen, however disreputable or danger
Gus, should claim the right to take the
hand of the president, and to enjoy there
after delights of an appeased and trl-
umphant curiosity, comparable only to
those of the man ''whO shook the hand
that shook the hand of Sullivan"
But to the American people as whole
such a view of the presidents personal
dignity and personal obligations is as I'M
worthy as 1t is offensive, and we believe
they will gladly Join in abrogating a Gus
tom not only cheapening to the presi-
dents official character, but involving
fatigues, discomforts and the ever pres
ent peril of sudden death.

Dear Sir: You give full weight of good

SO do we-23l inches to a gallon of
paint that lasts twice as long as old fash

tee:
"If you nave any trouble with this
paint, either now in putting it on, or
hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
about 1t.
ave authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
We know dealer In coal. who deliv-
cred his coal with public weigher's
ticket full weight, invited complaints,
aud actually exchanged the coal when
complaints was made. He had half the
business; dozen firms had the other
half.

sell paint as that dealer sold coal. We
like to pay damages-when there are any.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.


The general butter situation shows in.
creased strength. with advanced prices at
New York, Canton, Chicago and Elgin. A
strong tone has dominated the market here,
but no further rise can be quoted, and there
is determined opposition to following in the
line of other places. In no instance yester
day could we find disposition to pay any
higher prices than last week, and it looks rs
if Boston will go it alone for few DAYS
Fresh receipts are liberal, cold storage stocks
are large and trade is quite moderate so that
there is no real occasion for further advance
at present.
We cannot quote over % cents as a free sell
ing price, with 22R, and even higher, asked
for special marks. Fine creamery in boxes
sold well at % cents.
There il a fair supply of under grade fresh
creamery Offering at - to 81 cents, ana the
tendency is to take this kind rather than re
spond TO the extre he rates asked. Choice
fresh dairy lots are also coming in for more
attention at 10 to 20 cents. Choice process
butter is quite favorte after passing the
best creamery, and liberal quantities are go
ing into consumption at is to 10 cents.
buyers are slow to come up to the views OF
sellers in the cheese market, ana for tins
reason trade was comparatively light ye ster
day. The general selling rate for fine North
ern twins was 10 cents and some of the late
arrivals were held higher. but no more than
10 cents could be obtained for trade lots, and
the quality had to be better than most of the
late offerings to command that figure. Fol-
most offerings last week ga to 90 cents was
the rate.
Fresh Eastern eggs moved of at % to q
cents FOR choice to fancy, with some nearby
lots at % to IS cents. Refrigerators sold at Il
TO Is cents, with occasional fine lots at /!
| cents. The stock in cold storage was reduced
1900 cases and stands at Isl ,236 cases, against
l2s,32l cases same time last year.
Hay is fair demand at SlSdls so for good
and lower grades at $l4dl6 per ton. Rye
straw sells at sl59l6, and oat straw at 50 pei
ton.
The bean market is slow at 81 25a2 80 pei
/ bushel. Extra yellow eyes are easier, will
sales at - e5g3, and red kidneys at - i592 81
