PRESIDENTIAL OBSERVATIONS.

If it be that the President carries pistol in

circumstances
The mere fact that the President rode out to Fort
Lawton with George Lamping will doubtless be the
death of that measy individual for he will try to get

celebrating his good luck.
The weather man certainly issued special order for
the weather, which served during the Presidents
visit in Seattle. 1t simply ideal and without exag
geration not less than 10000 persons were Seat
ties streets to see the only Teddy.
Other presidents of the United States, who have
swung around the circles, may have covered more
territory than has President Roosevelt but it is dol
lars to doughnuts that none of them ever many
of the citizens of the country as has he.
Tacoma tried awfully hard to have the President
believe that Bremerton was suburb of that old
sleepy town. but the naval officers gave him to under
stand that such mistake and that Bremerton
was dependent on Seattle in every respect.
While passing through the State of Washington
the President saw more varied industries and differ
ent sources of wealth than he perhaps in other
states on his long line of travel. Washington state
is hummer and the world is rapidly finding that out
Tacomas program of trying to monopolize the
President while in this and to prevent him from
seeing Seattle only at night was partially carried out
but when the President did get here he saw in
a minute than he could have in month had he

stay by an appoinee if he thinks that it is going
to cost him any of his popularity 1t will be remem-
bered that Tom Humes asked Bill Meredith for his
resignation he thought Meredith had been
caught, although caught at the very things that
Humes set him to doing. Now Sullivan is to go in
the same way as did Meredith the "you are killing
me- pretext Sullivan may deserve dismissal, but
the way it is being brought about smacks strongly
of cowardce
Sullivan may be guilty of great many sins of both
commission and omission since he has been chief of
police but the Pienaker is inclined to think the day
that Reber is appointed chief of police of Seattle will
be the worst mistake that has ever been made in this
city, and that is saying good deal. Reber is
who does not show common courtesy to other men;
he is man that is badly stuck on himself that he
absolutely forgets whether he is living in metropol
city or in the famous subterranean garden in which
Aladdin of the Arabian Nights story found himself
entombed. If appointed it will mean George Z.
Piper will again direct the destines of this city and
again extort tribute from the vicious Worst of all,
Reber has been known since he has been in the
city as a Democrat Finally, he has more fitness
for the position of chief of police of Seattle than has
a Hottentot from the jungles of Central Africa More
in the future will be said about this prospective chief
of police
There is still another piece of political gossip in
this connection that will doubtless be news to the
general public nevertheless true, and it is other
than that E. L. Reber at present city editor Of the
Post-Intelligencer, is to succeed John Sullivan
chief of police Reber has very poor health and
do some kind of outside work and this position has
been selected for him There is no doubt to the
genuneness of this piece of political gossip, for its
a tip straight from the powers that be- Mayor Humes
is desirous of throwing Sullivan down. he is friendly
to Reber and favors his appointment, in doing so it
is also declared he will be pleasing the P-I., and
desiring denomination and election, he is inclined to
do anything that will bring him favor from that
source 1t, therefore, be readily that there
is than grain of truth in the statement. And
it is here predicted that in less than thirty days more
Reber will be at the helm instead OF Sullivan.

In the "Fortnightly Review a French
writer. Guyot, attacks Chamberlain plea
and plan with vigor, and shows what Pro-
lection did in so far as France is con-
cerned. M. Guyot attacks Chamberlain
scheme, if wrong, and subjects his
"rulnous project to severe criticism on
its inherent merits. | make an instruc-
tive, incisive extract from condensation
of this part of his remarks, taken from
the New York Review of Reviews:
Firstly, though Mr. Chamberlain points
to Germany and the United States as ex.
amples, he does not propose to initiate
the better sides OF their fiscal systems.
The German Zollverein is 4 customs union
between the different states. and the Gus
toms duties collected are divided among
the different states according to popula-
ton. In America, the customs are col
lected for the profit of the Union as a
unit. Under Mr.. Chamberlain's system,
the selfgoverning colonies will continue
to preserve their economic autonomy
The result is that interests will be etern-
ally clashing Under protectionism, says
NJ. Guyot, economic rivalry gives place to
political rivalry Every district imagines
itself sacrificed to other districts, and
every industry to other industries. In
France, the whole art of M. Meline, who
has been the protectionist leader for TWEEN
ty-five years, has consisted in uniting
groups of often contradictory interests, al
ways to the detriment of the consumer"
The French writer is positive that
when a protective tariff fulfills its pur
pose, it yields no revenue" He says al
ways in France bad harvest makes a
good budget''-brings in the revenue cash,
while a good harvest always returns a
bad budget A bad harvest in 1897,
brought to the treasury fifty-five millions
of francs; while in 1898, a good harvest
brought in seventy-eight millions. In
