fly harm will be one of the live topics before Congress at the coming session. The fact that on the Presidents recent trip to St. Louis nearly 1000 men. in- cluding railway employees and detec- lives, special policemen and secret ser- vice men. were detailed for the express purpose of seeing that nobody hurt Mir. seriously regarded in executive circles.
 Representative Overstreet of Indiana has arrived in Washington and has lost no time talking about his bill to pro- tect the President. It provides the death penalty for the killing of the President, Vice President or any other officer in the line ol presidential suc- cession.
 A section of the Overstreet bill which Is rather drastic is:
 That any person who. within the limits of the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof. ad- vocates or teaches the duty, necessity or propriety of the unlawful killing or assaulting of one or more of the off, cers (either of specific individuals or officers generality of the United States. or of the government of any civilized nation. because of his or their official character, or who openly, willfully and deliberately justifies such killing or assaulting with intent to cause the commission of any of the offenses spec flied in the first eight sections of this act, shall be fined not more than $5,000. or Imprisonment not less than one nor more than twenty years, or both"
 The Judiciary Committees of the two Houses had several such measures before them and finally agreed upon a substitute, which failed of passage in the Senate at the last moment upon the objection of a Senator.
 Approaching Tarif Fight.
 People who read what they had to say are wondering how much of blum there is in the anti-revision talk Of Speaker Cannon. Senator Hale and the other Republicans who have started in upon a sort of hafnmering process to convince the President that 1t will nev- CT do to call an extra Session to deal with the tariff. If 1t is not bluR then the question follows. how much is there in it of defiance of Mir. Roose- velt's known predisposition for more liberal tariff laws and less restriction of trade with the world at large.
 AS has been frequently remarked the real Roosevelt's heart is for "squaro deal;" for equal opportunities and ev- cry encouragement of brave individ- ual effort: it cannot be in his nature, if he be sincere in his many utterance& along this line, long to tolerate the domination of a set of men who are the legislative agents of monopoly. But they are the very people who expect MT. Roosevelt to continue to be the political Roosevelt who. will go on time serving to gain the appreciation of the old time leaders of his party. They are just now engaged in spacious attempts at one and the same time to fiatter and to threaten him.
 Will the real Roosevelt step forth and show himself? Has he ever shown any symptoms of backing from a bluff? Has he winced before op- position heretofore? Rather has ne not proved as much power over con gress controlled by his party as any man who has ever sent forth view from the White House?
 It is worth while now and then to note what President Roosevelts friends have to say on this subject. One of them Is F. A Leupp. correspon- dent of The New York Evening Post, whom the President announced few days ago he would appoint Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs. to take efect January 1, next. MT. Leupp has writ ten his paper this. but with character istic caution as to the force and ex- tent of his opinion:
 Tt is too soon yet to foretell the result of the challenge (what Hale and Cannon said against revision) thrown out today. It will be necessary to postpone forecasts until some other Senators have spoken. Then 1t can De determined with some certainty what the new party alignment must be.
 ''The President has shown no signs of A change of heart on the general question, but, in pushing his Ideas 10 the front, he will presumptively follow the line of least resistance; which means that If he can find any reasona- ble ground upon which a sufficient force of members of the two houses can agree to make change. he will place himself on that and get the best terms he can There is no reason to sup pose that he would do anything to break up his party for the sake or try ing to carry out program of his own; but there Is no doubt. on the other hand, before conceding to the legisla- tive branch of the government it's right to settle this question. he will make 1t plain that he believes the stand pat ters' to be preparing fine issue for the Democrats four years hence"
 Now Let Them be Merry.
 Many an old puffed-up gourmand- sighed fin 1903 when learned that the French Government had. under its laws for the suppression of religious houses, expelled from their ancient home the Carthusian monks of La Grand Chartreuse. who in the mysteri- ous depths of their laboratories evolved the famous cordial liqueur Chartreuse. Few knew what became of the banish- ed priests. but they have been brought to notice and the interesting facts raade known that their carried with them their precious secret which for centuries afforded them a comfortable revenue in the concoction of their cele- brated cordial.
 Information of the exiles comes to the Department of Commerce and Labor through United States Consular Agent A. ]. Agostini, at Tarragona. Spain, who writes as follows:
 One of the few items of foreign trade of this district in which change is shown Is alcohol. which is being im- ported now by the Carthusian monks. lately emigrated from France. who have transferred the manufacture of
