Mr.. Andrew Carnegie Is sort of
Or. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde man on the
tariff question. In this country he is
a high protectionist and has probably
made over S300000,OOO out Of tariff
duties on iron and steel. In fact, he
probably has more tariff profits in his
breeches or banks than any other man.
He has shown his appreciation of our
tariff generosity by giving nearly
$1000o0,000 of his protected profits
back to us in library buildings, etc. or
perhaps the amount returned is Il "con-
science fund" instead Of a thank YOU"
But, strange to say, Mr. Carnegie.
who also resides in England, Is Cd
posed to protection for that country.
He is solemnly warning England
against the dangers of protection.
Just what Mr.. Carnegie has in mind
is hard to say. In fact, it is difficult
to follow the meanderings of q pro.
tectionist's ideas, or rather assertions.
for it is by no means certain that they
always speak their minds. Possibly If
Mr.. Carnegie would disclose all that
Is back of his assertions he would say
substantially:
II am protectionist in America be-
cause my steel works are there-that
Is. the steel mills which l built and
which, though sold, may return to me
any year because Of the mortgage |
hold on them. Protection in America
adds about S75,0O0,OOO a year to the
profits Of these steel mills because II
enables them to sell at much highe,
prices in America than in foreign coun
tries l am free trader in the other
countries because 1 want to keep as
many foreign markets as possible open
to the products Of my steel mills"

Lincoln Steffen's Chicago

Lincoln Steffen's Chicago article,
which appears in the October McClure's
makes inspiring reading. "Chicago !:
Half Free and Fighting On" is the
graphic phrase in which Mr.. Steffens
sums up the civic status Of Chicago.
For Mr.. Steffen finds an example of re-.
form-"Yes, Chicago" he says, "first
in violence, deepest in dirt; loud, law
less, unlovely, ill.smelling, irreverent,
new. the tough among cities"-Chica.
60, in Mr.. Steffen's opinion has fought
more persistently, more pluckily, and
more successfully against the evils of
American municipal government than
any other OF our great cities. 1t is the
story of this reform that Mr.. Steffen
tells, and it is fine story and hope
full one.

SOMEWHAT DIVERGENT.

An individual opinion depends largely
upon the viewpoint Of the party possess
ing it. Editorial opinion likewise, al.
though degree of harmony is expected
among editors of the same political faith,
on matters purely political. Juet at
present the editors OF the two leading
republican papers of the Pacific North.
west, the Portland Oregonian and the
Seattle Post Intelligercer, require to be
''got together" for the good of their party
To the opposition, or disinterested OBJ
server, they afford considerable amuse-
ment by occasionally devoting their
leading editorials to the same topic SIM
ultaneously, end differing so radically as
to create belief that they belong to
different political perties.
These columns have noticed this pre-
deliction before, but the performance Of
the 28th inst. is the most amusing yet
observed. The democratic candidate for
II. 8. senator in Ohio had challenged
Mark Hanna to joint debate, and re.
ceived smart Alec. reply from the
chairman of the republican committee,
and on the date named both those papers
devoted their leading editorials to the
subject OF this letter. The first para
graph of each editorial is given b; low.
You can take your choice:
SIC ia the sure mark OF the pettifogger
to begin specious plea with the words
sin all candor.' This is what Chairman
Dick does in his answer to the John H.
Clarke challenge for joint debate with
Senator Hanna. 1t is clear enough now.
as was suspected from the first. that
Hanna never had the slightest thought
of meeting Clarke in joint debate. What
his equivocal course meant was simply
that he wanted to draw Clarke out and
then have Chairman Dick swat him with
a Sma t-Aleck letter with which the
democratic candidate would be wiped off
theearth. The letter is out, and APP.
peared in Yesterdays dispatches. 1t is a
po,r, weak thing. 1t will persuade those
.vho are already persuaded, but it can
only repel the fair mind" -Oregcnian.
"The reply OF Chairman Dick, of the
republican safe committee OF Ohio, to
the challenge OF John II. Clarke, demo.
cratic candidate for the United States
senate, for joint debate with Senator
Hanna, is certainly pertinent. Before
there can be debate over political issues,
it must be made apparent that there are
issues to be debated, and this is preci> ely
what cannot be done when any demo.
crat challenges any republican to debate
without first defining his own position. "

NO DISC RIMfNATION.

In an interview with committee OF
prominent labor dealers Tuesday, rela-
tive to the case of Miller, the public
printing off cial who is obnoxious to the
unions, President Roosevelt laid down
the following wholesome rules
"These laws are enacted for the bene-
fit of the whole people, and cannot and
must not be construed as permitting dis.
elimination against some Of the people.
am president OF all the people of the
United States, without regard to creed,
color, birthplace, occupation or social
conditions. NV aim is t. do equal and
exact justice as among them all. In the
employment and dismissal of men in the
government can no more recognize the
fact that man does or does not belong to
a union as being foi or against him than
l can recognize the fact that he is Prot.
estant or Catholic Jew or a gentle, as
being for or against him.
"In the communications sent me by
various labor organizations protesting
against the retention of Miller in the
government printing Office, the grounds
alleged are twofold First. that he is a
non.union man; second, that lie is not
personally fit. The question of his per-
sonal fitness is one to be settled in the
routine of administrative detail and can
not be allowed to conflict with Or to com.
plicate the larger question OF govern
mental discrimination for or against him
or any other man because he is or is not
a member OF a union. This is the only
question now before me for decision md
as to this my decision is final"

PUBLIC PAYS THE FREIGHT

The Syren. organ of the American
steamship trust, in a recent editorial
said:
1.-THE direct taxation upon the steam
railroads of the United States is not
less than per centum OF their net earn
ings, while the indirect taxation levied
upon those roads is about three times
that amount. The public should know
that whenever dollar is paid to a
steam railroad for transportation of pas
sengers or for freightage, not less than
25 cents of that dollar is, not the cost OF
the service for that dollar, but for ex-
tortionate taxation. Many persons who
are prone to criticise railroads for what
they consider high passenger and freight
rates do not know that, besides the tre-
mendous burdens of taxation levied by
lawmakers upon railroads, there is the
very large expense of carrying without
cost, fer oliticians, hundreds OF passen.
gers and many tons of freight"
Will some republican explain why
"the very large expense OF carrying
without cost, for politicians, hundred OF
passengers and many tons of freight"
should be saddled upon the public?
What have the politicians done that
they should be given these favors at the
expense of the paying patrons of the
road? Or what are the politicians ex-
pected to do in return for these favors?

THE ASSET CURRENCY.

After saying that the next congress
will do nothing ON the currency question
which is radical and may not do any
thing which is moderate, the Chicago
Tribune says: The agitation for an as
set currency viii not die out because Of
the refusal OF the next congress to do
anything. Many bankers believe there
would be money for their banks in such
a currency, and they will not let 20 of
any scheme that has money in it. There
will be many discussions, arguments,
and votes before the asset currency pro-
ject is finally disposed Of" Is it not
also fair to believe that if the republican
party remain in power after these dis
cussions, arguments and votes, the asset
currency project will be adopted because
there is money for the bankers in such a
currency; and have we not also, the right
to believe that after the republican party
shall have adopted that system the Chi
cago Tribune, faithful to its character
istics, will be found apologizing for cur
rency system against which it has re-
peatedly protested?

In 1666-'67 the Duke of York. through
colonial Governor Nichols, gave grants
and charters to twenty-three men who
were created corporation known as
the Town of Harlem, and later furthef
grants and patents were issued to the
twenty-three and to their heirs, sue

The plan Of the lawyer in charge Of
the matter is to gather q majority of the
descendants and. as he says they are all
by inheritance members of the corpora
tien have them hold meeting elect
officers and parcel out the land among

Tt is argued that quit claims. leases
