CERMANY'S BACK DOWN..
Knew Who the Sufferer Would Be il
q Tariff War with
America.

AS this paper has frequently sug.
gested, the Germans are SO far from
looking for a tariff war with the
United States that the vote in the
reichstag to extend the existing
duties in favor of this country to June
80, 1907, was almost unanimous. And
1t is to the credit of the members,
says the New York Press, that they
frankly admitted, in casting their
votes, that from such a war the suf.
ferer would be not the United States,
but Germany. We have so often
shown why-as proving why the Ger.
mans would do exactly what they
have done-that it Is unnecessary to
go over the ground again further than
to reiterate that nearly all the things
which Germany buys from us she
must have and can get nowhere else.
II that nation should bar out our
products, the greatest industries
which go to make up the growing for.
eign sales OF the German exporter of
manufactured articles, now invading
the world, would close down, and
bankruptcy and misery plague the
empire. The steamship lines doing
their enormously profitable business
with the United States would go out
OF business. That is why We always
said there would be no tariff wal
waged against us by Germany; that
is why the Reichstag confirms oul
prediction with it's overwhelming vote
to let things stay as they are for O
year and a half longer; and they will
do the same thing owe again for the
same reason.

IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some of the most, beautiful sights
are found in the seattle coral reefs
and the sunken gardens, filled with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa
ter, others only in the foulest water;
for every condition there is a life to
fit it.
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,
as well as troughs and deep holes, oc-
cur, and the bottom is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals,
changed by time into slime and stone.
Some OF the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need of them;
others have hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. Its aver
age depth is over $4,000 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises and
falls At the entrance to the Bay
of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
less than 20 feet The natural power
that controls the tide is tremendous
one.
And the plant life in the ocean is
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study
ing it for centuries and are only be-
ginning to understand it. If you want
to be interested as no novel can in

PARLIAMENT OPENED
RUSSIANS FIRST DEMAND is FOR
FREEDOM.
EMPEROR NICHOLAS SPEAKS.
Much Enthusiasm and Cheering
Greeted Professor Mourontseff
When He Invited the Government
Officials and Clerks to Leave Hall.

ST. Petersburg, May 12.-sWithout
single hitch, and with only a minor
Incident to mar the memorable day,
the Russian parliament was inaugu-
rated. The weather was superb and
the stage management of the impress
sive ceremony at the winter palace,
where Emperor Nicholas, surround
ed by courtiers and all the pomp and
panolpy of power. delivered the speech
from the throne to the members of
the two houses, was perfect. The mes
sage in reality was less of a throne
speech than greeting, and required
only three minutes for it's delivery.
Emperor Nicholas. read slowly. The
admirable and even cordial tone of
the sovereign in renewing his pledges
and asking the cooperation of parlia-
ment for the regeneration of the coun-
try was only negatively satisfactory.
Courtiers and spectators others than
members of the national parliament
led the cheering, but the members
were omniously silent, expressing
neither approval or disapproval What
ranked the most was the failure of
the emperor to mention amnesty, and
when the members assembled in the
Tauride palace, away from the spell
of the throne room, many of them
with difficulty restrained from precipi-
tating matters by offering resolutions
on the subject.
The constitutional democratic lead
ers, however, who dominated every
thing, were anxious not to weaken the
reply which the lower house will pre-
pare to the speech from the throne,
in which issues with the crown will
be joined and succeeded in staving off
premature action.
The scene around the Tauride pal
ace was in striking contract with that
at the winter palace. Each, indeed,
was typical and told an eloquent
story. At the Tauride palace tens of
thousands of people were acclaimins
their representatives at the winter
palace legions of military and cour-
tiers by three hundreds cheered for
the emperor. Nevertheless the pro-
ceedings of the lower house were not
spectacular; in fact, they were almost
tame in comparison with those at the
winter palace.
The only genuine flashes of fire
which showed the real temper of the
members of the house were when Pro
fessor Mouromtseff, who had been
elected president of the lower house,
invited the government officials and
clerks to leave the hall, and when
Ivan Petrunkevitch, in a few eloquent
words from the rostrum, told the audi
tors that the first thought of the par
lament should be for those who had
suffered in the cause of liberty, who
now filled the prisons and whose
arms were stretched out in hope and
confidence to the peoples represen-
tatives. More enthusiastic cheering
than that which greeted this appeal
never was heard in a political con-
vention in the United States.
